The virtual empire starts from the game

Is there anything new in Chapter 147?
The brave sniper couldn't wait to set off now.

But at least he remembered that he had made an appointment to visit the Zhumeng Jinghu office building.

He asked one more question: "If I go to the experience store, what about making an appointment to visit?"

"It's okay." Xiao Qing assured him, "It was just a simple tour of the office building, and I didn't make any preparations. If you want to come and see it someday, just make an appointment."

"Anyway, there are only two honorary players now, so it's easy to make an appointment."

"Really?" the brave sniper was surprised.

He didn't expect that there were so few people with this identity!

"May I ask who the other one is?"

"No, no." Xiaoqing immediately shook her head.

"How can we casually disclose user information? Unless an honorary player discloses it themselves, we will not announce it to the public. What if it causes trouble to the players?"

"Yeah, that's right!" The brave sniper nodded in agreement.

He opened the box during the live broadcast, so he deserved it to be leaked.

Otherwise, you can do a lot of interesting things.

"Then I'll go straight over there?"

"Come on, I'll take you there." Xiao Qing turned around and said something to another receptionist, then took the brave sniper out to the experience hall.

On the way, the brave sniper couldn't resist his curiosity and asked again: "Can I ask what the selection criteria for this [Honorary Player] are?"

"Many players online want to get this status, including many extremely wealthy gamers!"

"Hmm... this." Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, "I don't know."

"This matter was led by the boss. After the decision was made, he gave us the final result directly without mentioning any selection criteria."

"So... the standard is Boss Xu's mood?" the brave sniper guessed.

"Of course not!" Xiao Qing defended her boss, "He must have made important contributions to the game and really like the game!"

"Of course, of course." The brave sniper said this, but he was complaining in his heart: This is indeed Xu Meng's style.

Both reasonable and chaotic.

……

The office building and the experience store are very close, just over seven minutes' walk away.

There was a layer of rainproof cloth covering the door, hiding the sign.

But when you push open the door and walk in, you will find that the inside is spacious and clean, with no signs of any decoration.

The lobby on the first floor looked empty because there were no guests.

The first thing the sniper saw when he came in was the bamboo forest landscape on the round platform in the middle of the hall, and the 1:1 human-shaped figures of Tongque, Heyin, and Xiao Ningxi in the bamboo forest.

It was not the sexy skins in the game, but each of them changed into an evening dress, as if they were here to attend a dinner party.

The Heroic Sniper was stunned: "Is this... a new skin?"

"No." Xiao Qing shook her head. "I've heard colleagues complain that the artists of Project Frost and Snow are crazy. They drew a lot of original paintings and thought about changing clothes for their daughter every day. They couldn't do the modeling at all, so they just stuffed it here."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the characters on this stage will change every once in a while."

"Change into a new set of clothes after a while?" The brave sniper suddenly became excited.

"Not necessarily, it could be a role change." Xiao Qing explained for him a little speechlessly -

“In fact, at the beginning, the Lord of War project team wanted to put a retired tank here.”

"Ah?" The brave sniper was completely stunned.

Can that thing be bought by just anyone?
"But the staff of the Frost and Snow Project insisted on releasing the characters."

"So under the coordination of the boss, the two project teams selected players and played a BO3 match in [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt]."

"The development team of Project Frost won, so the characters are placed here."

"Then the Lord of War project team felt that it was unfair."

"The boss arranged a second match for them - another BO3 match two months later, and the winner would be decided by Lord of War."

The heroic sniper was amazed: "Boss Xu... really knows how to play."

After admiring him, a thought came to his mind: "Speaking of which, can your internal competition be made public?"

"what do you mean?"

"Can I come and watch the next fight? It would be even better if it could be broadcast live!"

Xiao Qing blinked and said, "I don't know. I'll ask you later."

"Thank you for your hard work." The brave sniper thanked repeatedly.

"Okay, come over here and register, and go play games."

……

Registration is very quick. The brave sniper swipes the honorary player's identity card and then swipes the ID card to complete the registration.

Then, under the guidance of the staff, we learned about the facilities, received the somatosensory synchronization suit and one-piece stockings, and entered the private room on the second floor to experience the game.

The heroic sniper took some effort to set up the sports camera and mobile phone, making a dual-camera setup for himself before he finally started the game - he had been eyeing it for two and a half days!

The first thing, of course, is to go see Huo Huo!

From a VR perspective, there are only two choices: "Frost Project" and "Lord of War".

He raised his index finger and clicked on "Frost and Snow Plan", and two options popped up again:

[Corruption Disaster] and [Huo Huo's Yoga Classroom]

The brave sniper walked into the yoga classroom with satisfaction and saw the vivid Huo Huo appear before him.

——He followed Huanyue’s advice and wore a tighter pair of underwear.

But soon, he found out that he had been tricked by Huanyue!

It's totally useless!
Besides, we weren’t really playing in the Dream Building office. There was no one else on the second floor of the experience store, so how could we embarrass ourselves?
He left the yoga room, sat on the omnidirectional treadmill and calmed down for a while, then switched to [Corruption Disaster] to fight the BOSS.

The fully upgraded BOSS seemed familiar to him.

——The prototype of this boss is very old. Before the remake of "Frost and Snow Plan", the brave sniper even released a video guide on how to kill this BOSS instantly.

But now, the oppressive feeling of this BOSS is completely different from before!

When I played the game on PC and mobile phone before, the BOSS was just a noob and a target who could be killed with one round of bursts.

but now……

Standing here in person, watching the 7-meter-tall behemoth roaring and screaming at him, the fierce breath blowing in his face and scraping across his body, under the psychological effect, the brave sniper almost felt that he could smell the terrible bad breath.

“This is all an illusion.”

He comforted himself.

Then the BOSS slapped down with its huge claws wrapped in pitch-black tentacles, and the air behind the claws began to twist!
"Fuck!" The brave sniper pounced subconsciously!
Then it just hung in the air.

——His feet were off the ground, hanging by the safety rope of the omnidirectional treadmill, and his vision switched from the game screen to reality to prevent any accidents.

However, with the collaboration of hardware and algorithms, the camera captured his body movements, and the character in the game continued to move along with the movements, allowing him to avoid the slap.

When he got back on the ground, the brave sniper realized that dangerous actions like [throwing down] could not be used. Dream Building compensated for these unsolvable problems with [safety rope pulling] and [software algorithm].

While thinking about all these things, he ran wildly with his gun in hand, dodging the BOSS's attacks.

At the same time, he was also thinking: How should I use the investigator?
We are all girls in a warehouse, who needs the protagonist to fight the BOSS? !

In addition, the BOSS attack modules and special skills have been enriched a lot. When the heroic sniper finally defeated the BOSS, it was already his sixth life and more than 20 minutes had been used up.

He quit the game, took off his VR glasses, and sat down on the omnidirectional treadmill to rest, panting.

After resting for a while, he stood up and checked the camera's battery and memory.

After confirming that everything is ok, continue to put on the VR glasses and start trying out "Lord of War".

After opening "Lord of War", there are two more options than "Frost Project" -

【New recruits report】

【Narrow Road Encounter】

【Hell on Earth】

[Under development]

"?"

“Is there anything new??”

The heroic sniper was stunned for a moment.

On his way here, he also followed Huanyue's live broadcast.

In the exhibition hall of the Cologne Games Show, "Lord of War" only has one trial content - a tutorial level with three levels.

I think it should be [New Recruits Reporting].

What are [Encounter on a Narrow Road] and [Hell on Earth]? ?

"Is this... the development team's internal trial version? Or will Cologne unlock it in the next two days?"

Heroic Sniper can't be sure.

But since no one gave him a time limit, he planned to play them all and then tell the staff about it.

After that, he and his three computer teammates played slowly for an hour before completing the three levels of [New Recruits Report].

Even though he was running fast, he was still sweating and his throat was a little hoarse after the fight.

——This is the price of being too immersive: it is difficult to control your volume on a battlefield full of gunfire.

He felt a little tired.

But before taking a break, I still clicked on [Encounter on a Narrow Road] to see what the content was.

What was unexpected was that this option actually required him to choose a military branch!

【Engineering Corps】

[Special Forces]

【Commando】

【Medical Soldier】

Choose one of four.

"Do I even need to choose? Of course, it's [Special Forces]!"

The system prompts again:

[Please select two initial items]
[Climbing Claws], [Camouflage Cloth], [Telescope], [Sight] and [Silencer] appeared before his eyes.

This made the heroic sniper a little confused——

"Doesn't that include sniper rifles?"

"And... two items? The scope and silencer count as two items?"

Confused, but still chose the scope and silencer and went to the next step——

[Do you want to select a soldier class for your teammates?]
[whether]
The Heroic Sniper was already very tired. He just wanted to take a look at the new content and had no real intention of starting the fight right away, so he selected [No].

[Randomizing your teammates' arms]
[Random results: Medic A, Medic B, Medic C]
[The encounter is about to begin, please be prepared! ]
“?” The game began while the brave sniper was stunned.

He seemed to be back in the forest of the second level, but something was different——

There are more buildings.

But he was not in the mood to collect props now. He just looked at his three medic teammates in silence.

All three of them were carrying a large backpack, holding small pistols in their hands, and looking at him innocently.

In the entire team, he was the only one who had a Mosin-Nagant rifle - and they thoughtfully installed a scope and a silencer for him.

but……

"One assassin and three nurses? Beat your mother!"

He didn't want to fight in the first place, and now he was forced to retreat.

Click [Hell on Earth] again, and [Development Not Completed] will pop up directly.

After confirming that this couldn't be played, the Heroic Sniper breathed a sigh of relief.

He took off his VR glasses, stepped off the omnidirectional treadmill, and went to the shower room in the private room to take a shower.

At first he thought it was outrageous: In a game experience store, why did the clerk emphasize that you can take a shower in the store?

Now he knows.

Because it's really hard not to sweat when playing this!

When he finished taking a shower, threw away the disposable one-piece stockings, put on new ones, put on the body-sensing synchronized suit again and walked out, he just heard a knock on the door.

He walked over, opened the door, and saw Song Zhicheng.

Song Zhicheng only appeared once in the preview program, but the brave sniper still remembered him.

"Is there a problem?"

Song Zhicheng smiled slightly: "Are you interested in playing a friendly match?"

"Friendly match? What? Against whom?"

"Lord of War, follow us."

"With you? Why?" The brave sniper didn't understand.

Song Zhicheng couldn't help but sigh, "This experience store will open for business ahead of schedule."
