"...How realistic is a fully immersive game that is 100 percent real?"
Earth, In a university computer room.
Looking at the group chat messages, the first image that popped up in Johnny's mind was not a game, but vain justice. His nickname in the group is 'Get up ten times a night,' because it is too long and not elegant, the old buddies in the group call him Night Walker for short, which is quite a cool nickname.
"It's literally true."
"Vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste... are all the same as the real world, the time flow of the game world is 1:1 with the real world, the time difference is about 12 hours, and because the technical principle is the interference of dreams, so the game time is quite to sleep."
The big brother who typed out these two lines is nicknamed 'Light'. This serious one-character nickname is incompatible with the group name 'Cowboy Club', so the friends in the group will occasionally call this old buddy 'Ultraman', 'Lizir', or even 'Brother Fallout', etc.
8th Level Gale ( Administrator ): "Is this a fantasy setting? (✷‿✷)"
Tomorrow Seeker ( Administrator ): "And it sounds like it's been a while, and it feels like the setting of virtual reality games in early web articles."
Badass Bunny (Group Leader): "Haha, you mean wearing a virtual helmet? I liked watching it when I was in school."
Get Up Ten Times A Night (Administrator): "To be reasonable, this setting is unreasonable. Operators are not just to make money, but to make players happy? If it is 100% true, how can it reflect the dignity of RMB fighters? Everyone, Aren't they all worthless!"
Johnny doesn't read these novels, but he feels that he has received nine years of compulsory education, so he is different from others, and should pursue rationality rather than coolness. So he prefers to watch fantasy and supernatural.
Tomorrow Seeker: "Brother, you are too serious. If you really talk about rationality, compared to making money for the fictional operator in the novel, it is really reasonable to make readers outside the novel happy, right?"
8th Level Gale: "Dolls are prohibited."
The topic quickly drifted off. While the Cowboy Club was a gaming group, games were rarely discussed with such seriousness as they are today. Especially for a 'Game' that doesn't exist and is completely imagined. However, even though the topic has gone far away, the initiator of this topic—that is, this guy named 'Light' still stubbornly brought the topic back.
Light: "I mean if."
Light: "If there is such a game, would you like to play it?"
Looking at the group chat, Johnny smiled and shook his head. Is there even a need to ask?
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Yes! Why not? It's a 100% real game, why don't you try it, you know. (ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ)"
8th Level Gale: "+1, but I still have some doubts about the setting you mentioned. If the game time is equal to the sleep time... Isn't it more reasonable to apply this technology to work?"
Wine Passed Through The Gap: "Damn it, are you a devil, why the hell are you want to mix fun things with work?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Then I'd better go to bed honestly. ¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯"
Quit Smoking: "You don't sleep at night, you dream in the group."
There are more and more people bubbling in the group. There are still some people who haven't posted a message, but they are also watching the screen with great interest. In a game group of 200 people, the number of active group members is usually around ten to twenty. Occasionally, there will be two new faces of 'he knows you, but you don't know him'.
The old dude named Light ignored it and continued to immerse himself in his own world, "In fact, the company I joined recently is developing a fully immersive virtual reality online game."
The lively group chat was briefly quiet for a while. But soon, like an appointment, a series of news popped up.
"What the hell?"
"Real or fake?!"
"God Damn it! I almost believed it. (≧▽≦)"
Johnny felt that this guy had too much drama. Fully immersive virtual reality online games? 100% true? What a joke.
Just like Big Brother Gale said, if this thing really existed, would it be used as a game???
Of course, he doesn't agree with direct use in the office field. In his imagination, if there is such a powerful technology, it must be used in the military field first. How awesome to use it to train special forces!
The man named "Light" didn't say anything, just threw a website. Johnny opened it casually and found that it was actually an official game website. The page of the official website is not well done, it looks like it can't even afford the money for an artist, the empty page has no content, only three lines of bare words.
[ 100% Real Virtual Reality Game - 'Wasteland OL' ]
[ Current Reservation Number: 0 ]
[ Reservation: Yes/No ]
A light smile appears on Johnny's face after seeing that. Good guy, after laying the groundwork for so long, it's just an advertisement. I don't know if it's spinach or netting. However, the number of reservations is real enough, there is no fictitious eight-figure online number.
"Yes, Let's see what kind of trick are you playing." Saying such Johnny holds the mouse and clicks yes.
However, to his surprise, the expected registration page did not pop up, and nothing changed except that the number of reservations changed from 0 to 1.
"This broken game doesn't even need to register an account???" Johnny couldn't handle this show operation, and he couldn't decide for a while whether this thing was an advertisement or not.
Is it a hacking program? Also unlikely. What age is this?? Anti-virus software is almost out of the stage of history, and there is still a virus that can be infected by clicking YES and NO on the website???
Not to mention the computer room at the school which currently he is using. Even if he uses his own computer, he is not afraid of it.
...
[ Number Of Reservations: 11 ]
Wasteland OL, Shelter No.404 Resident Hall.
Looking at the numbers on the background of the webpage on the computer screen, Lucius, who was sitting in the small room, heaved a sigh of relief and let go of the mouse he was holding tightly.
"Is that all right?" What answer he gets is two lines of text that appeared in front of his eyes out of nowhere.
[ Mission Completed. ]
[ Reward: A set of carbon nano bulletproof vests, Reward points +5. ]
The wall on one side of the room vibrated faintly. As the curved alloy door opened, a black vest lay on the platform behind the door. The conveyor belt delivered the vest. The alloy door closed again, and the room returned to calm.
Lucius immediately got up from the computer, stepped forward, and picked up the vest.
Its weight is very light, and its texture is very similar to ice silk pajamas. It feels delicate and soft. It is hard to imagine that this thing can withstand bullets.
[ Name: Carbon Nano Bulletproof Vest.
Description: It can effectively absorb the kinetic energy of bullets, disperse the impact force within the durable 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 inventory, with product introduction and usage instructions attached.
Lucius immediately took off his shirt and put it on next to his body.
It was a little chilly at first, but he got used to it soon.
At this time, the cylindrical metal object placed in the corner of the room emitted an electronic sound without ups and downs.
"Congratulations, Master, it seems that you have completed your first mission," The metal object spoke in the voice of a teenage boy.
"Can you stop talking so suddenly?" Lucius asked with a frown.
"As you wish master."
The robot that looks like a wastebasket is named Popo. As an assistant to the manager of Shelter No.404, strictly speaking, it has no such thing as a name, only a number of 777. But Lucius found it troublesome, so he gave it a simple name.
As for who Lucius is, and why he is in Shelter No.404, we have to start with a dark and stormy night...
