On an alien battlefield.
A man resembling Ryu was sweeping away bugs with an M9 machine gun he purchased with gold coins.
From time to time, he would also pull out a Quasar Cannon and fire a shot at the insectoids in the distance, which resembled giant beetles.
Captain America, Steve Rogers, on the other hand, held a Vibranium shield and, relying on his combat skills, cut the bugs in half with the shield.
Soon, a wave of bugs ended.
Rising Dragon Fist first checked his ammunition; he could still fight two more waves.
Captain America, Steve, then said, "It seems this World isn't all good."
"Uh, this is an instance, like a challenge."
Rising Dragon Fist said, "If we defeat the bugs, we can get gold coins. Take a look, how many gold coins do you have?"
He taught Steve Rogers how to open his interface.
Steve Rogers was immediately surprised; there was this too?
Then, he saw that he had several hundred gold coins.
"Over nine hundred."
"What the?!"
Rising Dragon Fist was instantly astonished: "One thousand gold coins equals one hundred U.S. dollars. You've almost made a hundred already?"
"Damn it! I thought I killed all the bugs!"
He then looked at the gold coins he had earned, on the verge of tears.
Turns out, all the kills were stolen.
Steve Rogers twitched his mouth, but he finally heard something familiar.
"U.S. dollars?"
"That's right, game currency can be exchanged for U.S. dollars."
"So, this is a game?"
Steve Rogers was not unfamiliar with this term, but the games he remembered were not like the current Oasis.
However, before he could ask more, a new wave of bugs arrived.
There was no choice; the two could only fight to the Death.
By the time this wave was over, Rising Dragon Fist was truly out of options.
He fired frantically to steal kills.
This led to him truly only being able to fight in close quarters later.
And true to his name, he only spent money to learn Rising Dragon Fist...
So, on the battlefield, he could only continuously shout 'Hadouken!'
This made Steve Rogers laugh.
"Do you only know one move?"
"I only learned this one move; Ryu's moves are too expensive!"
Rising Dragon Fist said helplessly.
In the Oasis, almost everything had to be bought with money.
Of course, when newcomers came in, the game still gave some basic equipment, but skills were out of the question.
But that basic equipment was useless to them.
"Let's go, we'll head back first."
Rising Dragon Fist took Steve back to the lobby.
"With gold coins, you can do anything, such as enjoying yourself at a bar, or going racing, and so on."
He introduced everything about the Oasis.
In the Oasis, not everyone liked fighting.
Therefore, there were other ways to earn gold coins.
The professions were similar to those in reality, like hostessing...
There were also games for girls, such as various dress-up games.
And those more casual games were also popular among girls.
The Oasis was very cruel; once a game character died, all items and gold coins would be lost.
Fortunately, in most places, players were not allowed to fight each other.
There were special places for fighting, and they were also extremely dangerous.
It could be described as the dark forest law.
And those who didn't want to take risks could completely avoid such places.
Steve Rogers immediately understood.
He invited Rising Dragon Fist for a drink.
Rising Dragon Fist asked, "How much did you spend on all these combat skills?"
"Uh, I trained these myself."
Steve Rogers already knew this was a game, so he didn't say much.
Fortunately, Rising Dragon Fist didn't ask further.
He had a drink and then exclaimed, "My mom is calling me, I'm going offline now, let's add each other as friends."
Steve readily said, "Okay."
"Next time we'll go racing. There's a race map that no one has cleared yet."
Rising Dragon Fist said, "I heard there are a lot of gold coin rewards for clearing it, and many experts have been preparing for it. Let's go experience it too."
"Okay."
Steve Rogers nodded, a little interested.
He was becoming more and more curious about the Oasis.
How was such a new World created?
Could it be Howard Stark who created it?
In his impression, only a genius like Howard Stark could do such a thing.
Subsequently, Rising Dragon Fist, who relied on fighting, went offline right in front of him.
The entire character dissipated like sand, which was somewhat surprising.
Steve reached out and grabbed, but nothing was left.
He fell into thought.
Rising Dragon Fist could go offline.
Then how could he go offline?
He summoned the interface, clicked offline, but a prompt popped up: "Time remaining until offline: 48 hours."
He was not allowed to go offline!
...
S.H.I.E.L.D. had been monitoring Captain America, Steve Rogers's situation.
An Agent nearby removed the virtual device.
"We were preparing to communicate with him, but he was taken away by another player."
This S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent said helplessly.
"But the situation seems good; he has already understood the Oasis."
"And there's no stress reaction."
"It's good as long as he slowly accepts the new World."
Nick Fury nodded.
His biggest concern was Captain America, Steve Rogers's inability to accept the changes in the World.
After all, it had been almost seventy years since he was frozen.
Seventy years of vast changes were not that easy to accept.
It was just that America hadn't changed much.
If it were China, the changes in those seventy years would have been too great.
"Is his body okay?"
"No, due to the freezing, his physical condition is good."
"Very good."
Nick Fury was even a little envious.
After so many years, Captain America was still Captain America.
And now, his mission was still to deal with HYDRA...
He just didn't know if he was prepared this time.
Subsequently, S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel entered the game and began to make contact with Captain America.
They began to prepare Steve Rogers for what was to come.
They took Steve Rogers into maps related to modern cities, telling him about the changes in this World.
Steve Rogers also noticed and quickly guessed that these people were from America.
So he cooperated well in accepting modern knowledge.
However, he felt that it was still very difficult for him to integrate.
After all, everyone he knew was different now.
On the other side.
Levi also took off his helmet, then tore off the machine attached to his temple.
This was the latest brain-computer interface device; no surgery was required.
It just needed to be attached to the temple, but there would be a slight tingling sensation.
However, the effect was also very obvious, making it easier to perform actions in the Oasis.
Levi had just gone to experience a rally race.
He always felt that rally racing was more fun than F1 racing.
After all, rally cars could drift.
This immersive feeling was what made the Oasis the most fun.
Jill also loved playing in the Oasis and found it very addictive.
However, she was practicing skills and marksmanship in the Oasis.
She hadn't learned any skills but relied on her real-World abilities.
The result was being brutally beaten by players...
