Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 4: What brand of helmet? Revolutionary technology!

My roommates came over, their faces full of curiosity.

The main reason is that I've never seen Wang Zixu shop online before. Today, he brought back a big item, and there was even a logistics label on the cardboard box.

Everyone was curious about what could possibly make a miser like him pluck his feathers.

"Hehe, I didn't buy this, someone gave it to me as a gift."

Wang Zixu chuckled, surprised that he and Jun Ge were from the same city. No wonder he received it so quickly.

"Was it a gift from your sister-in-law?"

"Oh ho, you've made a deal? Tell me the truth."

"It doesn't matter who sent it, everyone who sees it gets a share!"

Wang Zixu waved his hand, too lazy to explain, and opened the cardboard box in front of everyone, revealing a helmet inside.

This thing looks a bit like an eye massager, no, it's more accurate to describe it as VR glasses.

After holding it in my hand and examining it carefully, I didn't find anything special about it.

"Virtual reality headset?"

The guy next to me picked up the helmet, fiddled with it for a bit, and shook his head to himself: "But the design doesn't quite look right."

"It should be a virtual reality headset, but I don't know what brand it is or how realistic it is."

Today,

Conceptual devices such as virtual reality helmets and motion-sensing pods have become ubiquitous.

There are countless companies that develop this type of product.

Only Tencent's Aurora brand virtual reality headsets or motion-sensing pods can achieve a realism of over 70%.

It can be described as having a monopoly.

Other smaller brands vary in quality.

"Let me try."

Jun said it's 100% virtual reality.

He wanted to see if it was true or not.

Wang Zixu took the helmet and, following the instructions, tried to put it on his head.

Press the start button.

After a brief absence.

A beam of blue light appeared in his pitch-black vision and entered his retina.

[Information recognition in progress... Verification in progress... Reading in progress...]

[Binding in progress... Binding successful!]

Welcome to the game! You are Wang Zixu. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.

[Time remaining until the start of the game's closed beta: 19 hours and 36 minutes]

What the hell!

It really is a virtual reality headset!
Even the cheapest virtual reality headsets on the market cost over a thousand yuan.
This is a free gift!
Wang Zixu became somewhat excited.

"That's awesome."

Taking off his helmet, Wang Zixu remarked with emotion.

My roommate next to me looked eager to try it out, rubbing her hands together and asking, "How realistic is it?"

Wang Zixu shrugged: "The game isn't open yet, I don't know either."

"What? Isn't this just like a game console? Doesn't it have a game library? Or can't you choose games yourself?"

"Let me see what's going on."

The roommate took the virtual reality headset and put it on his head. A moment later, looking completely bewildered, he took the headset off.

"Wait, is your helmet broken? I can't see anything at all."

"No, right? I felt a reaction when I first put it on."

Wang Zixu was new to virtual reality headsets and wasn't quite sure what to do.

"I'll try."

The remaining two roommates took turns trying on the helmet, and without exception, the helmet did not respond at all after they put it on.

"Dude, were you hallucinating just now?"

"The device won't even start, so how can there be a countdown? You've been scammed! Go get a refund from the seller right now."

Wang Zixu frowned slightly, and stubbornly put the helmet back on.

The blue characters reappeared in front of me.

[Time remaining until the start of the game's closed beta: 19 hours and 33 minutes]

The countdown not only didn't disappear, but it also moved forward by three minutes.

He is now certain that there is nothing wrong with the equipment.

Wang Zixu sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his chin, lost in thought.

The virtual reality headset that Jun gave me is probably very different from the products on the market.

……

...Night fell.

The computer screen in front of Chen Jiajun is the only light source in the entire room.

"what……"

He couldn't help but yawn.

Eight consecutive hours of intense work left his eyes dry and swollen.

He scratched his head in frustration; developing the modeling function was far more challenging than he had imagined.

I originally thought that after consuming the system item [Awakening Goji Berries], I could finish it quickly with just a handful in hand.

As a result, numerous bugs were encountered.

It now seems impossible to update the modeling system before the closed beta begins.

As the energizing effect of goji berries wears off.

A heavy weariness crept in, and my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

She's so young, yet her body is so weak.

I'm willing to continue working my liver, but my body is already showing warning signs.

"Never mind, my life is more important."

Just as I was about to press the power button, a message popped up in the lower right corner of the screen.

[Time remaining until the start of the game's closed beta: 12 hours and 0 minutes]

The time he set for the closed beta test to start is fast approaching.

It's estimated that the "King of Freebies" and Shen Yingying have already received the virtual helmets by now.

The remaining people, because they are not in the same city, will not receive their goods until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

"call……"

Chen Jiajun snapped out of his thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

His gaze fell on the virtual reality headset next to the desk, and he reached out and picked it up.

A 100% immersive game, that's not just something he made up.

It's not a publicity stunt.

Once you put on the virtual reality headset and enter the game world, your senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste will be indistinguishable from those in the real world.

The time flow in the game world is basically the same as that in the real world.

Most importantly, due to the technical principles, the time players spend in the game world is equivalent to deep sleep.

This means,
Even if you play games all night, your body will only get a complete rest in real life and it won't affect your work the next day at all.

This technology originates from a system that is currently unique in the world.

Once it becomes widespread, it will have a disruptive impact on the entire Nine Provinces.

Even those who don't like playing games, or those who think games are a waste of time,
Who would mind experiencing it while sleeping?

Just consider it a dream where you could do whatever you wanted.

Dreaming can put extra strain on the body, but his virtual reality headset does not.

With such advanced technology and effects,

Even if the game "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors" does not become a hit as expected, the bundled virtual reality headset alone is enough to ignite the market.

Even if the games developed afterward are terrible, as long as there are high-end devices available, people will definitely buy them.

Just like many established authors, once a book becomes a hit and their fame rises, even if they write a mess later on, readers will still buy it.

This is what is commonly referred to as making easy money.

However, human wisdom should not be underestimated.

Technological barriers will eventually be broken down.

Only by continuously producing high-quality game content can the company maintain its core competitiveness in the future.

It was also an important way for him to complete his mission, gain prestige, and even prolong his life.

"what……"

Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Chen Jiajun let out a long yawn.

Although the self-modeling function is not yet available, the core framework of the game is complete and will not affect the operation of the game.

After adjusting the virtual reality headset, put it on your head and press the start button.

His administrator privileges allowed him to skip the internal testing waiting period.
You can enter the game at any time.

An electronic notification tone then sounded:
Welcome to the game! Administrator Chen Jiajun wishes you a pleasant gaming experience.

[Start the game?]

"Yes!"

Chen Jiajun had a sudden thought and chose to start the game immediately.

[Character creation in progress...]

[Character generated!]

[Entering the game shortly!]
