Virtual helt!
A virtual helt similar to those depicted in web novels.
It was reported that Xing Hai Technologies had developed such equipnt as early as 10 years ago. It had just never been fully promoted for civilian use. Only in the field of science; and only the few scientists who had attained the Supre Laboratory in the ga 100% Science Lab could acquire the virtual helt for a better research experience.
Top scientists who had used the virtual helt all made extrely high remarks about the device:
“God, at the mont I stepped into the Supre Laboratory, I thought I had stepped into heaven.”
“The experience is surreal. It’s just like another real world.”
“It’s just like magic that sends my soul off to another place.”
“The helt is unparalleled. Next to the virtual helt, all the other VR devices are garbage.”
The scientists spoke with various levels of exaggeration and described the virtual helt as sothing divine.
Was it really that great?
Many people expressed disbelief. Especially those players who felt that VR technology was already perfected and were already satisfied and happy with it—it was unacceptable to them to hear declarations that VR was garbage.
However, Xing Hai Technologies’s virtual helts were only for the scientific community. There were no more than a thousand scientists who owned the equipnt. Ordinary gars would have liked to verify the claims about the helt themselves. But they couldn’t get one, unless they beca a top scientist. Unquestionably, this would an reaching the highest level in Science—one of the most difficult gas.
Was this even possible for the majority of ordinary gars?
And so, as for the power of Xing Hai Technologies’ virtual helt was concerned, ordinary gars with no chance of experiencing it for themselves drew conclusions on their own. With the sa sort of curiosity, many people stuck their heads into the scientific community just to acquire a virtual helt get the ultimate gaming experience.
This went on until May of federal sixth year, when a veteran gar nad “Aotian” attained the highest level in 100% Science Lab, spending around five years or so, and got his hands on a personal virtual helt. That was the first ti a professional gar ca into contact with the virtual helt, which was originally ant for scientists.
After the helt arrived in his hands, Aotian pulled off a worldwide live broadcast of himself unpacking, installing, configuring, and at last putting on the virtual helt, hence entering the virtual world. His live broadcast lasted for 11 hours and amassed more than 100 million viewers at peak ti.
After he had experienced the virtual helt, Aotian took it off and held it in his hand. He then sighed and said to the cara: “Compared to this, all the other VR’s are trash!”
Wow! The world was made aware of the virtual helt’s greatness.
The whole VR industry beca tense. After all, ga equipnt that could simulate pain, touch, sll and taste was simply unfathomable for them. Just like ants eting a god, they were trembling in fear. But soon after, the VR industry beca breezy once again. They were skeptical about the virtual helt.
They were still stuck on the sa talking points: “why not sell it if you have stock?” Why would Xing Hai Technologies not promote such an astonishing piece of technology as their virtual helts? Why were they forsaking such trendous amounts of profit?
Treasures that could not be mass produced, no matter how great they were, would still be no match for garbage. And hence, tranquility and serenity prevailed. The VR empire could at least last for another 30 years.
However, on one day in August of federal eighth year, when Xing Hai Technologies suddenly announced their plans to enter the virtual online ga industry and launch a “real virtual ga” based on their virtual helts, it directly triggered a depth bomb effect.
Inside dorm 302.
After reading through the news, Li Dong and the others imdiately got excited.
Liu Yichen said, while rubbing his palms together, “This is great. Has Xing Hai Technologies finally had enough of this f*cking VR top up era? Hahaha, marvelous, splendid.”
“Yeah. Things were all too calm and smooth in VR over the years. Many companies have forgotten who they are. For the sake of earning money, they’ve forsaken their initial resolutions, ideals, beliefs, feelings, fairness—everything. There’s only one word left in their minds: money.” Cai Qinghai clenched his fist.
“A ga about interstellar warfare. Isn’t this kind of ga my specialty? Besides, it is a Xing Hai Technologies ga, and we’ll get to experience the unprecedented virtual helt...”
Li Dong stroked his chin while nodding and said, “For our next ga, let’s choose this upcoming one from Xing Hai Technologies. Honestly speaking, Xing Hai Technologies is an invincible demon lord themselves, but at least they’re kinder than other companies and would take care of the interests and feelings of most people.”
“Yeah.”
Cai Qinghai nodded, “At least technically, Xing Hai Technologies had never disappointed us.”
Subsequently, in the City of the Eastern Sea chat group.
Li Dong forwarded the news about Xing Hai Technologies’s forthcoming launch of their virtual online ga on interstellar warfare, thus informing Mu Wanqiu of the news.
“I know about this.”
Mu Wanqiu continued in the chat group: “Lots of people at my school are discussing this ga.”
“So, are you interested in that ga? Want to play together?” Liu Yichen asked.
“Of course. But I’m not sure whether it would be a top up kind of ga. If it’s similar to those online VRs, and if the virtual helt is, like, super expensive, I may have to consider a little.”
Mu Wanqiu was also from an economically average family. She had not invested much in gas. Moreover, she did not wish for a bad gaming experience.
“Um, I don’t think that Xing Hai Technologies will make it that way. Gas that require heavy top ups will generally not last over five years. Their player base will be like chives. But Xing Hai Technologies is an expert in making long-term investnts. They usually look 10 steps ahead of things. Besides, they aren’t a luxury brand. Most products they sell are relatively affordable. Maybe you should have so confidence in them,” Li Dong analyzed. He had read a book called “Learning from Xing Hai Technologies’ Success,” and thus knew more about Xing Hai Technologies.
“Hmm. What you’re saying makes sense.”
...
In the succeeding period of ti, Xing Hai Technologies released leaks at two- to three-day intervals, winning the eyeballs of many.
For instance, the na of the online ga was preliminarily confird to be Galaxy Era.
The ga’s servers would never stop, unless for force majeure.
The realism of the ga world would be 99.9999%.
The virtual helt’s comprehensive simulation degree would be up to 61%.
At present, the total production of virtual helts had exceeded 10 million sets, and the average production cost had dropped to about 3,000 dollars. With the luxury versions as exceptions, regular versions would not sell for more than 4,000 dollars.
To ensure fairness, the ga would not have any top-up system or in-ga item market system, but in the future, a player trading platform would be established. Xing Hai Technologies would only draw a small amount of “tax points” from the player’s trading activities.
After the above leaks were announced.
All the worries of Li Dong, Mu Wanqiu, and the others had vanished. They were left with only intense anticipation of entering the ga.
The VR industry, on the other hand, was in extre panic. As Xing Hai Technologies did not enter the VR industry previously, they naively thought that the company was turning its nose up on the field and had left them the whole “playground.” They were laughing inside, and even thought that Xing Hai Technologies were morons.
What about now?
Once Xing Hai Technologies began to move, they had set on a course to devastate them all. All of them were slling the scent of demise.
