406. Evan has always been very conservative
Levi had the impression that the equipment for playing SAO was indeed quite expensive, and it was because the price was a little too expensive that he became curious, and then he learned what kind of thing the VR game is now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before SAO was launched, the term VR games was around for a long time. It's just that VR games at that time actually built the display device into the headset, and then assisted by various somatosensory control devices to achieve the feeling of being in the game world. At that time, VR games were quite boring to be honest, and Evan had bought two different devices from different companies, and asked Levi to play with her for a while. In terms of technology at that time, VR games at that time were also considered an innovation. Although limited by the general function, the game graphics are relatively average, but it is indeed barely enough to reach a little 'other world'.
It's just that Evan usually likes to play those old games that have long been outdated, and you can see that Evan is actually a player who values the essence of gameplay more than the grandeur of sound and light effects in terms of games. No matter how powerful the graphics are, a game that lacks basic gameplay is something that Evan won't like. Compared to the so-called VR games at the time, Evan would rather play the old-fashioned little games that were full of pixels but could be played for a long time like a game of chess. This directly led to the fact that after the launch of SAO, Evan was also like those people Kiritto said, who had reservations about VR games and did not immediately run to buy game equipment.
Levi initially thought that SAO was just the latest entry into the so-called VR games of the year. It was only when I saw that the advertised sales price was a bit too expensive compared to the previous VR equipment, and I became curious and paid attention to what kind of game it was.
When Levi learns that SAO is a game that allows people to truly experience entering another world, he immediately tells Evan the news. At first, Evan was a little suspicious that it was just an exaggerated campaign by a game company, after all, similar propaganda techniques had been used by VR game production companies before. But then Levi found an article about the experience of the game posted by internal test players on the Internet, which made Evan really believe in it and became interested in SAO as a game. It's just a pity that when she was interested in buying equipment, she found that the first batch of equipment on sale had been sold out. At that time, Evan, who was not without regrets, immediately went online to order the second batch of machines for sale, and when the second batch of machines was about to be produced and shipped, the time when the first batch of SAO players were trapped in the game also happened at the same time, which was not able to play the latest VR game at that time, and I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky.
Well, I guess it's a misfortune. The brain of a vampire ancestor is not something that can be destroyed by the electromagnetic waves emitted by a VR gaming device. If Evan had been so vulnerable, he would have died long ago under the thunder and lightning magic of those powerful magicians in the wizarding world. However, Levi was just trying to make Evan who stayed in Ma Fanliang find some entertainment to kill time, if he was also locked up in SAO with Evan and Evan, what would happen to the lovely students in the school who were waiting for him to educate? At that time, he was not so independent as he is now, and what should Levy do with Miss Rin Tosaka, who often cares about and cares for her?
"In the past, VR gaming devices that weren't much different from headsets were expensive enough. And in the years when I advertised everywhere to promote that kind of VR, many people felt that they had been cheated and spent unjust money. When SAO was launched, many people in the public were skeptical that it was no different from the so-called VR of the past, and they didn't believe the game experience advertised at all. ”
Levi spoke of his own experience as a person who had come before, and Shino was not a game nerd at the time, so he had no concept in this regard. Kirito and Asuna nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's expensive and I don't know what the game is, and in the past, the main group of students in online games was not so common in the early days of SAO. I remember that there were many players in SAO at that time who were adults and had jobs and were relatively free financially. ”
Achill behind the bar confirmed Kirito's statement, and there were indeed many people like him in SAO at the time.
"Adults with better economic conditions and strong curiosity, the top professional players on the Internet, and the most such people in SAO at that time. ”
"At that time, I was also curious about VRMMORPG, so I took the NEVRGEAR that my brother bought into the game. ”
Asuna followed Kirito as she spoke. Lizzebet next to her didn't speak, but looking at her expression, it was obviously one of the several situations that Kirito had mentioned earlier.
"Because there aren't too many student players, there aren't a lot of people who go to this kind of special school after 'liberation'. On the contrary, because this school is on the school island, everyone can temporarily leave the previous environment to avoid some embarrassing things, and there are more talents here. Some office workers choose to work here for similar reasons. ”
"I'm not in the same situation as those office workers, but I can probably understand a little bit of their feelings. After leaving your job for two years, even if the company still keeps the position for you after you go back, your colleagues always have strange eyes, and it is difficult to adapt. At that time, governments around the world were providing job search assistance to such people, so that they could easily change to other jobs. Since they are all going to change jobs, it is also normal for some people, especially those who are single and have not yet started a family, to go to a place where no one knows them to temporarily adjust their mood. ”
In a time when the world economy is not doing well, even the world's largest companies have to use all sorts of austerity to save money to keep them healthy. If it weren't for the government's forced order, how many companies would have willingly reserved the position of an employee who had not been at work for more than two years? Even if the company's staff list still had this person's name on it, he would still be paid when he returned to the company. The work he was in charge of before couldn't have been left there without doing it all the time. When such a person returns to the company, it is easy to be made nervous by the kind of environment that is out of place and does not need him anywhere. The government also takes into account that adults and children need special treatment alike, so that these people can change jobs so easily.
As for why many people choose to work on School Island, on the one hand, as Akyll said, you can leave the familiar environment to make people quiet. On the other hand, it is also because the composition of the people on the island is relatively simple, the social environment is not so complicated, and the degree of acceptance of those people is also higher. In short, you can live more naturally and comfortably on the island, at least without being discriminated against by the people around you.
