After the advent of the virtual helmet.

Needless to say, the VR era, which has flourished for more than ten years, has basically come to an end.

Obviously, many VR manufacturers will not sit still, and will definitely struggle hard, after all, this is a super cake involving more than 10 trillion interests.

So in order to stop Xinghai Technology, they released all kinds of slanderous and negative remarks:

"Virtual helmet technology is unsafe and has the potential to lead to brain death."

"Virtual headsets can lead to ten times more internet addiction than VR games, which is not good for the physical and mental health of teenagers."

"At present, the virtual technology is not mature, and there are ten huge flaws."

"If the virtual helmet is used for too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain, which is a route that should be abandoned."

But......

In front of a big demon king like Xinghai Technology, all struggles are useless and futile.

Without Xinghai Technology refuting rumors and responding, the majority of gamers have already automatically voted with their feet.

"Unsightly garbage, get out of the way!"

"Since Xinghai Technology has not ended, the development of the VR industry has been too cool and comfortable in recent years, and it is time to return to the nightmare moment."

"Hehe, it's not safe, it's bad for the brain? This kind of rumor is really too lo, Xinghai Technology broke through virtual technology more than ten years ago, after so many years, there are still people who think it is immature, do you think Xinghai Technology has been eating dry rice in the past ten years? ”

"Honestly accept the fate of being run over by wheels!"

Obviously, the majority of gamers are not stupid, virtual games, VR games, which is the future, which is more exciting and exciting, players know how to choose.

In addition, the gaming field is almost the only one where there are no "vested interests", and if your game is fun, it can immediately attract more than hundreds of millions or billions of players. If a more enjoyable game emerges, players will flow into the new game, leading to a mass loss of other gamers.

It's kind of a "winner-takes-all" meaning.

If you want to keep players forever, there are basically none.

After the relevant institutions confirmed that Xinghai Technology's virtual helmet was "technically mature, safe and stable", it was allowed to be introduced to the market.

……

Federal 8, December 24.

Xinghai Technology's "Dream III Generation" virtual helmet was the first to go on sale.

The first batch of 50 million sets of virtual helmets was first launched in the market of country Z.

In order to prevent scalpers from maliciously hoarding goods, the sales method of virtual helmets is "real-name purchase in offline physical stores"...... To put it bluntly, you have to queue up in front of the store to buy.

……

Chuzhou City.

The busiest shopping street.

The entrance of an electronics specialty store.

There was a long line that could not be seen, and many police officers were on the side to maintain order.

Li Dong, Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen and others are in the middle of this team.

"Growing up, I haven't had such a long queue."

"The canteen with the best taste in our school has a maximum of 15 minutes in line at the peak, right?"

"This line is moving too slowly, it will take at least three or four hours to see the storefront, right?"

"We still came too slowly, if we had come at 0:00 last night, maybe we would have bought something, and we didn't get up until 4 o'clock."

"Big brother, it just snowed the day before yesterday, and today's temperature is minus five degrees, who can get up in this hellish weather."

"Isn't it okay to wrap the quilt here, you see the queue in front, it's not a quilt per person...... Hey, the first batch of helmets is only 50 million, and even less is distributed to our small city, I don't know if I can buy them? ”

Liu Yichen's face was a little sad.

Li Dong stood on tiptoe and observed the length of the line, opened the map on his mobile phone, roughly estimated the distance to the store, then opened the calculator and pressed it a few times, and said: "There are about 1,300 people in front of us, an average of ten seconds per person, about three and a half hours, we can buy a game helmet." ”

Provided, of course, that the helmet hasn't been sold out yet.

They could only move forward slowly with an anxious mind.

Soon.

More than three hours later, when their legs were swollen and numb, and they felt tired and hungry.

The virtual helmet store, finally in front of them, is getting closer and closer.

"This brother, I'll transfer 10,000 yuan to you, can you give me your position and let me go in and buy it first?"

Li Dong and the others heard a voice, there was a short and fat man with good economic conditions, who wanted to pay money to replace a front position.

"I'm sorry, I've been queuing for ten hours, and this spot can't be sold to you." The thin boy who heard the request said.

"20,000, is 20,000 enough for you?"

"Don't sell it, don't bother me!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"Ten million, my virtual helmet, my ultimate dream, it's priceless, don't want to defile it with money!"

The thin boy pushed away the stocky man and rushed into the store.

About a minute later.

The thin young man walked out with a stunned look: "16 days, there are 16 days left before turning eighteen, and I am not eligible to buy a helmet......"

The thin young man looked up to the sky and yelled: "Xinghai Technology, I want to sue you for age discrimination!" ”

"Hahaha~"

Li Dong and the others couldn't help laughing.

"I'm sorry, this opportunity is precious to a woman's first night, let's honestly go to the back and line up."

After rejecting the plea of the short and fat man, Li Dong and the others walked into the purchase channel of the store one after another (there are three purchase channels).

The purchase process of the virtual helmet is very simple, after choosing an ordinary helmet priced at 3999 yuan (19999 yuan for the luxury configuration version), enter fingerprints, scan the face and body image, and automatically bind personal identity information to the virtual helmet (after binding the identity, the helmet cannot be used by others within one year), the face payment system automatically pays, and a box with a virtual helmet is passed to you by the machine.

If the efficiency is fast enough, you can get the virtual helmet in 6 to 10 seconds and leave.

"Successful purchase, please take your helmet."

"Yay!"

Li Dong picked up the virtual helmet, raised his fist, and walked out of the store.

Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen, Xu Kai and other roommates also bought virtual helmets.

They walked out of the helmet less than 100 meters with their helmets contented, and the queue scene suddenly exploded.

"The stock of virtual helmets has been sold out, please come back in two weeks."

"What? Sold out so quickly? ”

"Damn, more than ten hours of white platoon?"

"Monkey tricks, shameless monkey tricks!"

The scene fell into chaos, and Li Dong and the others chose to leave quickly.

……

302 bedrooms.

"Haha, we're lucky, we almost can't buy it." Cai Qinghai said with a burst of joy.

"The first batch of 50 million units, an average of about 10,000 units per point, this amount is not enough at all, I think at least half of the people have not bought it."

Li Dong said in the chat group: "Late autumn, did you grab the helmet?" Several of us bought it. ”

"Nope."

Mu Wanqiu replied: "The queue is too long, I have been queuing for six hours, I really can't hold on anymore, I am going to buy it when it is relaxed." ”

"Didn't you miss out on one of the first opportunities to experience the virtual world?"

"If you miss it, you can miss it, there is no way, that team is terrible, there are too many people in Shanghai City, compared to a small city like yours, it is better."

"Well, "Galactic Age" will be officially launched in three months, and it is still the closed beta experience period, so let's go first and find out how to play this game...... We'll let you know. ”

"Well, thank you, President, and I wish you all the best in your exploration!"

……

It was less than ten o'clock in the evening.

Li Dong, Cai Qinghai, Liu Yichen and others all put on virtual helmets and waited for that most exciting moment.

The sound of a countdown ringed in my ears.

“10、9、8……”
