Chapter 1: How Real Is a 100% Real Game?
"…How real is a 100% real, fully immersive game?"
In a university dormitory on Earth, Kenley leaned on the bed, his fingers slowly sliding on the screen of his mobile phone, browsing the messages in the game chat group. He saw a discussion about a 100% real, fully immersive game in the group, which immediately caught his attention.
Looking at the group chat message, the first picture that came to Kenley's mind was not the game, but white thighs and justice.
Kenley couldn't help but think of his "The Elder Scrolls 5" with more than 200 mods installed, and the more than 100 "wives" he made in the archive. If these virtual characters can come to life, how exciting it would be! But after thinking about it a little more, he didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, this is a chat group, and he will be kicked out if he is too explicit.
Kenley replied in the group: "100% real?"
"It's literally real."
"Vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste... all the same as the real world. The time flow in the game world is 1:1 with the real world, and the time difference is about 12 hours. And because the technical principle is to interfere with dreams, playing the game is equivalent to sleeping."
The guy who typed these two lines of words is nicknamed "Mack".
Idell (Admin): "Is this a fantasy game?"
Louie (Admin): "And it sounds a bit old, it feels like the setting of virtual reality games in early online articles."
Larkin (Group Leader): "Haha, do you mean wearing a virtual helmet? I liked it when I was in school."
Kenley (Admin): "Speaking of reason, this setting is unreasonable. The operators are not making money, but just to make the players happy? If it is 100% real, how can the dignity of krypton gold warriors be reflected? Everyone is getting it for free!
Although Kenley does not read these virtual reality novels, he thinks he has received higher education. Compared with simple happiness, he pursues rationality more. Therefore, he prefers to read fantasy and supernatural novels to entertain his college years.
Louie: "Brother, you are too serious. If we really talk about rationality, it is more reasonable to make the readers outside the novel happy than to make the fictional operators in the novel make money, right?"
Idell: "No nesting dolls. "
The topic quickly went off track.
Although the Niu Ma Club is a game group, it rarely discusses games seriously like today.
Especially a "game" that does not exist at all and is completely imagined out of thin air.
However, even though the topic has gone completely off track, the initiator of this topic, the brother named "Mack", still stubbornly pulled the topic back.
Mack: "I mean if."
Mack: "If there is such a game, are you willing to play it?"
Looking at the group chat, Kenley smiled and shook his head.
Is this even a question?
Kenley: "Yes! Why not? It's a 100% real game, why not try it, you know."
Idell: "+1, but I still have some doubts about the setting you mentioned. If the game time is equivalent to the sleep time... wouldn't it be more reasonable to apply this technology to work?"
Larkin: "f**k, are you a devil? ? ? "
Louie: "Then I'd better go to bed honestly. (bitter smile)
Kori: "You guys are not sleeping late at night, dreaming in the group."
"I am dying of laughter."
More and more people are popping up in the group.
Some people, although they did not send messages, are also peeking at the screen with interest.
In a game group of 200 people, there are usually about 10 to 20 active members, and occasionally there will be two strangers who "know you but you don't know him". After asking, I found out that they have been peeking at the screen for more than two years.
The brother named Mack ignored it and continued to immerse himself in his own world.
"In fact, the company I recently joined is developing a fully immersive virtual reality online game."
The lively group chat was briefly quiet for a while.
But soon, as if it was agreed, a series of messages popped up.
"What the hell?"
"Is it true? !"
"Brother, you are awesome! I almost believed it. "
Kenley thought this guy was too much of a show.
A fully immersive virtual reality online game?
100% real?
Bullshit.
Just like Idell said, if this thing really existed, would it be used to make games???
Of course, he didn't agree with using it directly in the office field. In his imagination, if there was such an awesome technology, it would definitely be used in the military field first.
How awesome it would be to use it to train special forces!
The guy named "Mack" didn't say anything else, just threw a website.
Kenley clicked it casually and found that it was actually a game official website.
The website page was not well made, it looked like they couldn't even afford to hire an artist, and the empty page had no content, only three lines of text.
[100% real virtual reality game - "Wasteland OL"]
[Current number of reservations: 0]
[Reservation: yes/no]
Kenley smiled.
Wow, after so much preparation, it turns out to be an advertisement.
I don’t know if it’s a gambling or online gambling website.
However, the number of reservations is quite real. There is no fictitious eight-digit online number, and even Zha Zha Hui is playing it.
“Okay, I want to see what kind of game you are 100% sure about.”
He held the mouse and clicked yes.
However, to his surprise, the expected registration page did not pop up. Except for the number of reservations changing from 0 to 1, there was no change.
"This crappy game doesn’t even require registration of an account??? "
This operation made Kenley feel helpless. He couldn't tell for a moment whether this thing was an advertisement or not.
Was it infected?
Not likely.
What era is this? Antivirus software is almost out of the history stage. Is there still a virus that can infect you by clicking YES or NO on the website?
...
[Number of appointments: 11]
Wasteland, Resident Hall of Shelter No. 404.
Looking at the numbers on the background of the webpage on the computer screen, Chu Guang, who was sitting in the small room, breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the mouse.
"Is this all right? "
In response to him, two lines of text appeared in front of him.
[Mission completed.]
[Reward: A set of carbon nano bulletproof vest, reward points +5.]
The wall on one side of the room vibrated faintly, and as the curved alloy door panel opened, a black vest lay on the platform behind the door.
The conveyor belt sent the vest out.
The alloy door closed again, and the room returned to calm.
Mack immediately stood up from the computer and walked forward to pick up the vest.
It is very light and feels like ice silk pajamas. It feels delicate and soft. It is hard to imagine that this thing can resist bullet shooting.
[
Name: Carbon Nano Bulletproof Vest
Description: It can effectively absorb the kinetic energy of bullets, disperse the impact force within the durability range, and resist a certain degree of puncture and cutting damage.
Durability: 100%
]
The rewards obtained from the shelter system will be registered in the item column, with product introduction and instructions for use.
Mack immediately took off his shirt and put it on tightly.
It was a bit chilly at first, but he soon got used to it.
At this time, the cylindrical metal object placed in the corner of the room made an electronic sound without ups and downs.
"Congratulations, Master, it seems that you have completed the first task."
"Can you stop speaking so suddenly?"
"Okay, Master."
The robot that looks like a wastebasket is named Xiaoqi.
As the assistant of the manager of Shelter No. 404, strictly speaking, it has no such thing as a name, only a number 777.
But Mack was too lazy to do it, so he gave it a name.
As for who Mack is and why he is in Shelter No. 404, it has to start from a dark and windy night...
