β¦β¦β¦
Gao Yu recalled the advertising words and disassembled the packaging box in front of him.
16666 yuan, this is the price of the submersible helmet only, and if you want a more perfect experience, you also need a virtual cabin of 19999.
For a big city social animal like him, the helmet is already equivalent to a month's salary. But Gao Yu still resolutely bought it.
"Second life!"
"I hope you don't let me down!"
He patted the helmet he took out, and quickly completed the setup according to the simple installation video on the official website.
Gao Yu, who does not have a virtual cabin, can only lie on his bed honestly, and after putting on a helmet to activate the system interface, it is still like an advanced VR at this stage.
After Gao Yu chose a random game, everything began to look unusual.
Then, in the blink of an eye, he felt like he wasn't lying in bed anymore. The whole person appeared directly in a forest, as if he had suddenly crossed over.
The location is an unknown forest, and next to the spawn point is the wreckage of the plane.
The game starts like a setting after a plane accident, there are a small amount of supplies on the plane to use, Gao Yu discovers the sea while exploring the terrain, he seems to have crashed on a desert island, and there is no more information beyond that.
"Exploring the game?"
"Survival in the wilderness?"
"It's funny, but I don't feel like I'm wearing a helmet and the world looks like it's real."
Gao Yu began to collect information on the plane through his intuition through the game, and soon he got the corresponding information.
[Rescue will arrive in seven days at the earliest.] γ
[You have to protect yourself. γ
[Live, live in (blacked)!] γ
Well......
Not only does it have survival elements, but it also has a bit of a decryption and confrontational plot?
Gao Yu's novel experience of this completely immersive cleanliness, and soon he felt hungry!
Right!
In the game, he actually felt hungry!
And the system interface is also guided by novices at this time, Gao Yu didn't care about eating chocolate bread at first, until he really tasted the taste of bread!
This is.........
At this time, Gao Yu found himself standing among the trees, smelling the fragrance of pine cones wafting through the coniferous forest, smelling the saltiness mixed with the sea breeze, and smelling the smell of sweat emitted by sweating from exercise.
Whether it's the soft sound of stepping on a dead tree branch, or the gradient of light and shadow in the distance, everything is so real.
If it weren't for the [In Game] reminder that was constantly suspended in the field of vision in front of him, Gao Yu would still think that he was really in a real world!
This helmet is the right one!
After just such a period of experience, Gao Yu knew that he would definitely make a lot of money this time!
Awesome, my country!
As soon as it was launched, it was such a mature virtual reality technology!
The game was still in progress, and Gao Yu had just finished sighing when he heard the sound of stepping on weeds.
Pick up the only knife you found,
The thing that appears is quite curious, like a zombie licker, but it is obviously a little exotic, and it even has a pitch-black tentacle!
Gao Yu didn't have any trepidation, and even had the urge to lick his knife for a moment.
My knife is smeared with poison. JPG
Under the guidance of the system, Gao Yu quickly completed the monster killing, and then it was a complete free mode.
There is no template for the actions of monsters, and Gao Yu's feeling is that they will even learn by themselves, and will consciously target their own actions and habits.
Wrestling with them, struggling to survive in pursuit and counter-pursuit, the thrill of being caught in it.
In the game, when watching a helicopter appear on the sea level, Gao Yu saw a long-lost system prompt.
[Congratulations! γ
[Become the 19th player to clear the prologue!] γ
Gao Yu, who exhaled lightly, resisted the urge to continue the game, and the seven days in the game passed, even if there were obvious signs of time acceleration halfway, Gao Yu's physical time had passed at least ten hours.
"Looks like I must have overslept today!"
"But with such an experience, what is the perfect attendance award for just one month?"
Gao Yu quit the game while recalling the experience that had changed his view of the game.
Let's talk about the most intuitive body sensation first, there will be no severe pain when injured in the virtual reality system, but there will still be pain according to the game setting, which is equivalent to spicy is also a kind of pain, and appropriate pain sometimes does not make the body uncomfortable.
However, when the amount of pain exceeds the range that the dream can bear, the device will automatically disconnect, and the brain will actively wake up. In addition, abnormal brain wave fluctuations caused by excessive stimulation can also cause the player to disconnect from the game.
From Gao Yu's point of view, this weakening of the sense of pain actually destroys the sense of reality in it.
And what amazed him the most was the sense of taste, he actually tasted the taste of the food he made in the game, although ...... It tastes terrible, but it does restore the palate.
Sight, smell, hearing......
Every feeling is excellent, and once you have this immersive experience, other games don't make any waves of it!
With satisfaction, Gao Yu regained the feeling of wearing a helmet.
I noticed that the light was still unusually dim, and it was completely different from the expected daylight. He fumbled for his phone next to his pillow and was surprised when he saw the time.
"It's only 3 a.m.? Equivalent to only five hours of play? It feels like at least ten hours have passed! β
"And it's not sleepy? It's like just getting some sleep, but you haven't slept enough. β
Thinking that there was still a lot of time, he simply put on his helmet again.
[Your game experience time limit has reached that day.] γ
[The same amount of time is required to reactivate the game module.] γ
Well......
This is also to be expected, after all, virtual reality has not yet been developed, and there are already trial management methods.
Gao Yu did not resist, but also experienced the learning module with great interest.
The immersion learning style also gave him a completely different feeling.
On a macro level, he can see solar flares, and he can see the moment of supernova explosion.
At the microscopic level, he can see how bacteria survive and how cells exchange substances.
The once monotonous and boring words have all become things that can be touched and felt in front of us, and the perception of them is also a change in one's own cognition.
This is truly a technology that is enough to change the world!
I can see the blue sea without leaving home, and I can also swim in the sea of billions of stars.
Gao Yu understands that with virtual reality, the upheaval of human life will definitely appear in the next few years!
It's a time of unimaginable changes in socialization, entertainment, and even lifestyle.
At this time, Gao Yu, who felt that the great wave of the times was about to set off, received an unexpected email.
