"Strange, the basic rules didn't mention anything about specific data. Why would I need an energy bar...?"

Gao Tianxin studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping around.

Unfortunately, the man in the green robe had already vanished without a trace, and it seemed he couldn't be summoned. He should have asked more questions earlier. Thinking about this and the existence of the space, he sighed lightly, clasped his hands behind his back, and recited:

"Fearing the pain of parting, so many things I wanted to say, but couldn't bring myself to speak... The world is but a fleeting illusion, is everything just a mirage?"

This was just a habitual sigh, but unexpectedly, as soon as Gao Tianxin sighed, the Unmatched Bar suddenly moved, slightly expanding forward.

Gao Tianxin was taken aback, examined it carefully, tilted his head in thought, and looked at the empty platform, reciting, "Loneliness is the beginning of not being lonely. When one fears loneliness and is driven by it to deliberately seek out companionship, that is actually the loneliest time..."

There was no response.

"Give time a little time, let the past be past, let the beginning begin..."

Still no response.

"Is it that one can't be deliberate?" Gao Tianxin seemed to have some insight. He stopped thinking about the space and lay down on the platform, crossing his legs, gazing at the countless stars twinkling in the endless void above, recalling the fun of his childhood, and softly sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, full of fox spirits~~"

The Unmatched Bar moved slightly.

"This thing is quite interesting, moving with emotions, or something else?!" Gao Tianxin, who enjoyed such interesting things, laughed and muttered, "But what's the use of the energy increasing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy suddenly moved, penetrating into Gao Tianxin's body, instantly making him feel his physical attributes strengthen.

However, the feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in less than half a second, as if it were all an illusion.

Gao Tianxin grinned, but he already had some insight: "Energy that can temporarily enhance physical attributes. If I guide it intentionally, it should also focus on enhancing a specific basic attribute or ability..."

Analyzing this, he raised the corners of his mouth in a self-satisfied smile: "This must be a personal talent. Unmatched, unmatched, yes, it suits me perfectly~~"

The half-hour preparation time passed quickly, and a white passage appeared, extending out of the void and spanning the platform.

The passage led to a distant, unseen place, fantastically beautiful. The walls were all a hazy white, not blinding, but giving a peculiar sense of softness.

Gao Tianxin strode in, and as he walked, his eyelids began to tremble, but he chuckled and shrugged it off.

Thus, Gao Tianxin, who remained fully conscious throughout, saw his body enveloped in a stream of light, breaking through a spatial gap, and entering an indescribable program world—

A program world constructed of green code!

At the same time, a cold, neutral voice sounded in his ear, and the emblem provided the following information:

"Entering the Matrix world..."

"Difficulty: Level 1."

"Mode: Newcomer Arrival."

"Special Rules of the Mode: The plot world is subject to a certain degree of spatial rule suppression, with an overall strength reduction of Level 3."

"Maximum number of cycle participants: 10."

"Plot Summary: The real world is controlled by a computer artificial intelligence system called 'The Matrix.' People are like animals raised by the Matrix, trapped in a virtual world without freedom or thought.

A young hacker named Neo, with the help of human resistance members like Morpheus, gradually discovers the truth about the Matrix, glimpsing the foundation of the world. After enduring numerous hardships, he finally becomes the savior of humanity.

Neo's awakening will usher in a new era in the war between humans and machines!"

"Plot summary complete. All new cycle participants enter the viewing mode."

"The viewing mode is limited to new cycle participants, allowing them to briefly possess special abilities of this world."

"After the viewing mode ends, the main and optional tasks will be issued to all cycle participants..."

The wind blew quietly.

The rain fell gently.

Gao Tianxin's vision blurred, and he found himself on the rooftop of an old building.

Looking around, the neon lights in the distance flickered incessantly, and the piercing sirens grew louder as they approached. The evening breeze rustled through his sleeves, making a faint whistling sound.

Despite being in a corner of the city, everything around him felt desolate and bleak, especially when he looked up at the thick, starless sky, the oppressive atmosphere grew even more intense.

Gao Tianxin frowned in displeasure, his gaze falling on a window on the opposite building.

To be precise, on the figure behind the tinted glass, obscured by the curtains!

Whether it was the mysterious power granted by the space or the special nature of the Matrix rules, Gao Tianxin's gaze could penetrate the old walls, clearly seeing the mess inside the room and the black-haired woman typing intently at the computer!

Just as Gao Tianxin looked around and noticed that there seemed to be people standing on the other rooftops, the door to the room was kicked open, and four police officers, like ravenous wolves, rushed in, shouting, "Don't move!"

The black-haired woman's expression remained cold throughout, and the sudden intrusion of the police did not cause her any fear. She stood up calmly, slowly raising her hands behind her head.

Her compliant actions made the four police officers relax their guard. The officer with the handcuffs even let his gaze fall on the woman's slender, alluring waist!

Unfortunately, just as he was entertaining some lewd thoughts, a foot suddenly appeared before his eyes!

The black-haired woman's incredible flexibility allowed her to raise her long, straight leg 180 degrees, her foot appearing at shoulder level, striking the police officer's head. At the same time, her elbow swung back, hitting his chest directly.

The police officer's body trembled violently, his eyes bulging. In that instant, he clearly felt his broken ribs piercing deep into his heart, causing his heart to convulse and immediately lose its vitality!

Bang!

Seeing their colleague fall, the other three terrified police officers rushed in. In the first second, they saw the black-haired woman spin around, rising into the air like a crane spreading its wings, her momentum like a divine bird about to swoop down!

Thus, in the second second, screams of agony echoed, and there was no way to block or avoid it!!

In the third second, all sounds abruptly ceased!!

The cessation of sound signified the end of life. The two police officers outside, who had just reacted, were about to rush in to avenge their comrades when the black-haired woman suddenly leaped out, attacking with a flurry of punches and kicks, a storm of violence that could only be described as—

Devastating!

To be fair, the order to have two groups of experienced police officers coordinate inside and out showed that they did not underestimate their opponent just because she was a woman. Unfortunately, many things cannot be overcome by mere attention. The two sides were on completely different levels, and their efforts were in vain.

Only the black-clothed figure, who ascended the stairs step by step, making the creaking sound of the stairs under the weight, possessed the power to make the black-haired woman's pupils contract, causing her to turn and run!

Seeing the target fleeing, the black-clothed figure exerted his strength, twisting the railing he had been holding as if it were a rope, and shot up the stairs like an arrow.

The police officers behind him stared in shock at this scene, and despite their best efforts, they fell further and further behind, ultimately watching in disbelief as the black-clothed figure leaped across the gap between two buildings, leaving them with nothing but disbelief: "Impossible!"

Of course, it was possible. Not to mention the black-clothed figure's identity as a Matrix agent, who, within the Matrix, was invincible, able to directly possess any human body in the Matrix's nutrient tanks, instantly transferring and being omnipresent!

Even their immense strength and lightning-fast combat skills could surpass all martial arts techniques!

At this moment, besides the black-haired woman and the Matrix agent, four more figures, enveloped in a thin layer of smoke, joined the chase, running swiftly on the rooftop platform.

However, while the smaller gaps were manageable, when they approached the vast gap that the black-haired woman and the Matrix agent had crossed, three of the figures involuntarily stopped, standing at the edge, silent. Only one person—

Leaped across without hesitation!
