Ch: 107 [VR experience with Pala]
Bruce and Pala spent a few hours eating and chatting. After finishing their lunch, they decided to take a drive around the city. They talked a bit, laughed, shared each other's embarrassing childhood stories, and got to know the people they were a bit more intimately. The sun was already setting down, and the sky was painted orange as dusk fell upon Gotham City.
Bruce drove back to Pala's apartnt. The people from Wayne Enterprise installed the TVs, sound system, security system, and two VR pods in the penthouse. The things they bought were already being delivered, it was fast, all thanks to their reputation and an extra bit of money. The team of workers had already taken care of the bed and everything they bought. The penthouse now looked pretty modern with all the equipnt and devices installed.
"So, how's it looking?" Bruce asked Pala.
"All neat and just perfect," Pala took a look around and her expression says she's satisfied with the new look. "So, I assu those two are the new generation VR pods you have been working on?" She checked the VR pods which had an orange-ish glow and a semi-translucent look.
"Yup. Co on, put the headset on and lie down," Bruce motioned his hand over the VR Pod. "Relax and enjoy the ride... You will experience the real feeling, Pala." He smiled as he sat inside his VR pod.
"Alright, Let's do it!" She strapped the headset and lay comfortably inside.
In the blink of an eye, Pala found herself, standing in a white empty space. Soon, Bruce connected and appeared before her.
"Welco to the future of all technology. The digital world, where you can feel and experience everything as if it were the real world," Bruce announced as he opened the VR nu.
Pala walked over to him and touched his arm, "Wow! I can feel you, your presence, your body, you look so real!" She observed closely.
"That's how it's designed, to stimulate all the senses and provide the most imrsive and realistic feeling in the virtual realm." Bruce pointed towards the VR nu that opened before them. "You can open it up by simply thinking of opening the nu option and it will appear before your eyes. Now, from here, you can choose what you want to do here. Play the pre-installed gas that I have personally developed, watch movies, just sit and relax, maybe you want to go for a swim or wanna visit another country. How about traveling through ti to a different planet in space? Go ahead." He then removed his hand from the floating nu.
"Space?!" She exclaid with widened eyes, she looked at Bruce, who nodded with a smile. She then turned back towards the nu and her lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"Yes. You can experience real space travel, maybe visit a few planets or jump around on the moon and have fun," Bruce explained. Pala is really excited now, she can't wait to explore this new world. Bruce smiled seeing her enthusiasm and continued to explain.
"Let show you how to use this nu first," Bruce placed his finger on top of the 'Planet' option and pushed it gently. The nu reacted to his action and opened up another nu with lots of options. One such option was 'Mars', Bruce clicked on it and the screen changed to display a beautiful picture of Mars along with information regarding the planet. He then selected a space suit from the equipnt section and equipped himself with it.
"Wow!" Pala also followed Bruce's steps and equipped herself with a space suit.
"Now click the Teleportation button."
"Okay!" Pala did as instructed and the next mont they both teleported to Mars. She looked around and noticed that everything looked like the real thing, even though there wasn't any sound. "Everything looks so real, Bruce! So cool!" She said while looking at everything around her.
"Right?! This is truly amazing!" He exclaid.
They jumped around for a few minutes, enjoying and exploring the red planet.
"Hey, wanna make things exciting?" Bruce suddenly asked Pala.
"Hmm? Sure." She replied with curiosity written all over her face.
Bruce smiled mischievously, "How about..." He selected a giant sandworm and two spaceships that looked like those from the space racing gas, "...A race!"
"What?!" She exclaid upon realizing what Bruce just said. Before she could say anything else, Bruce pressed the start button and disappeared. Both of them found themselves inside the racing spaceships. The tutorial on how to control them was displayed on the holographic screen before them. Pala quickly read through it.
"All good?" Bruce's voice ca from the earpiece inside the helt.
"Yup, ready when you are," Pala answered confidently.
"Alright then, the race will start as soon as the tir runs out. A giant ass sandworm monster will chase us and hurl chunks of rocks at us. Our goal is to avoid them and win the race before the others," Bruce explained as ten more AI-controlled spaceships appeared around them.
"Ten opponents?!" Pala exclaid.
Bruce chuckled, "Yup, better focus." He teased as the tir counted down to zero. As soon as the countdown ended, they heard a loud horn sound coming from sowhere behind them. They glanced back and saw a giant ass worm chasing after them while hurling giant rocks.
"Holy crap! It's huge!" Pala shouted.
Bruce laughed, "Ti to see what this baby can do!" He increased his speed to maximum and then activated the turbo booster, leaving everyone behind, but Pala stayed close. The others are struggling to get rid of the worm and to catch up to them.
"You're gonna lose to a girl, Bruce?!" Pala's teasing voice ca from his earpiece as she hovered over the giant rock before her and crossed the checkpoint.
"Hmm! Alright, let's make things a little bit harder," Bruce made a sharp turn and headed towards a canyon. The worm dug into the ground and chased after them. As he was about to reach the canyon, the worm showed up behind him. "What the fuck?!" He cursed and imdiately applied the reverse thrusters. The worm slamd into them and knocked the AI-controlled ships out of its way as it sped forward.
"This is so fun!" Pala yelled cheerfully as she flew past Bruce, gaining more distance.
Bruce gritted his teeth and followed after her, "Yeah, but this worm is no joke! Look!" He pointed at the worm, which was now charging towards them again. Around twenty chunks of giant rock were hovering in the air around it and were preparing to launch at them.
"Holy crap!" Pala exclaid. "If you were trying to scare , you definitely did a good job! Good luck surviving the worm's attack!" She chuckled as she increased her speed and flew away from the worm.
"We will see about that," Bruce too picked up the speed.
The sky above them was filled with giant rocks as a massive shower of teorites began raining down on them. They dodged left and right, weaving through the chaos, evading the obstacles thrown at them.
After several minutes of dodging teors and outrunning the worm, Bruce and Pala finally saw the finishing line. Both of them pushed the engines, trying to win the race. Pala used the booster a bit early and started slowing down while approaching the final stretch of the canyon, anwhile, Bruce tid it perfectly and accelerated.
They were neck to neck at the finish line, both trying to cross the finish line. They could hear the pre-recorded cheering voices and clapping from their earpiece as they reached the checkpoint. Bruce won by ten seconds.
They returned back to the white space after the race.
"Oh, co on. There was definitely sothing wrong with my ship. It slowed down just around the finishing line," Pala protested and complained to Bruce about losing the race.
"You used the booster too early, and that cost you the victory. You didn't ti it well," Bruce explained to her with a smile.
"Shit! Fine, another race... I'll win the next one!" She proclaid with a pout, which amused Bruce.
"Alright, let's do a few more."
After ten races, Bruce got 6 winnings and 4 wins for Pala. Well, truth be told, he kinda held back a bit, trying not to discourage her too much. And he knew that she would suspect him for taking it easy on her if he lost to her, he made the gas after all, of course, he would know so tricks. So, he played safe for now.
