Twenty years ago, after the war ended, there were no more countries in the world. Human civilization began to enter a new era of rapid technological development. That year was designated as the first year of Genesis. Ten years later, which was the tenth year of Genesis, the technology of human civilization had developed unprecedentedly, and all kinds of technologies had been greatly improved. But at the same time, the spiritual and cultural life of mankind began to become barren. In order to record the most popular culture and enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people, the famous game designer Jia Xu and his team created the world-famous VR game " Virtual Armor."
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and " Void Armor " had become a worldwide game with more than a billion players. On a certain day in the 20th year of Genesis, the first generation player " Zhou Jia ", who had quit the game a year ago, received an anonymous letter and began to return to " Void Armor ". With the memories of the past, the secrets buried by time, and the search for the " truth," he began his journey back to the peak of Void Armor.

3. "Lost in Pursuit"
He floated down from the ice river, his body covered with strange scars. Soaking had changed his skin color, and the shape of his eyes had changed. He was familiar with knife skills, but the calluses on his hands could not be made by knives. He was on the most famous trade route, but he was not a merchant. He had forgotten who he was, but he had obtained a windfall. He had just remembered who he was, but he had been continuously hunted down. When he started a business war, when he crossed the border between two countries, when he created sharp firearms, what had changed had changed, and what had been lost was no longer. The last shot came from a place he would never have thought of.

These works all have good reputations for your reference.
