From the perspective of Qi Nianqi and the others, it appeared that only Ji Xinghe had entered the game cabin. However, in reality, when Ji Xinghe woke up in the holographic world, Qi Yao reappeared beside him.
Ji Xinghe opened his eyes and looked out at the incredibly real world before him. Across from him lay a vast sea of bamboo stretching as far as the eye could see. He could even faintly smell the delicate fragrance of bamboo in the breeze. If he wasn't told, who would have guessed this was a virtual world constructed entirely from data?
The boy's eyes were filled with curiosity, and he jumped on the spot. "It feels just like what I feel in real life!"
Qi Yao beside him watched his every move with a smile.
After more than half an hour, Ji Xinghe had basically explored this area completely. Every place was so realistic that even on the trees, there would not be two leaves with exactly the same veins.
Virtual reality, is this what virtual reality is? When it becomes real enough, this world has become reality to some extent.
When Ji Xinghe put the candy Qi Yao handed him into his mouth and tasted the sweetness that exploded in his mouth, he looked at Qi Yao with more than just admiration. "How did you do that?"
Qi Yao was a little amused by Ji Xinghe's "country bumpkin" behavior. He had never seen Ji Xinghe so surprised when he took him across the world before, so why was he so excited now?
However, he patiently explained to the young man, "To humans, the world is just the world. They see the world as it is. Only a few people study and consider why the world appears the way it does, or what its composition is. But for me, everything can be analyzed and understood with data."
Even if Qi Yao looked human, he wasn't. The world he saw was fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.
As he said, everything can be analyzed and understood with data. Since it can be analyzed and understood, it becomes no difficulty for him to recreate a new world in his own database by copying the same model.
The function of the game cabin is to digitize the thoughts of the human lying inside, and then connect it to the virtual database built by Qi Yao.
After listening to his explanation, Ji Xinghe seemed to be lost in thought. He stroked his chin and said something that seemed very profound to him: "So now, you are data, I am data, and the world is also data. To data, this world is real."
"Yes, I did well in philosophy class before."
"Tong'er, you've changed. You even laugh at me now." Ji Xinghe's face instantly turned sad when he heard Qi Yao's praise. Qi Yao knew that he had never passed his philosophy class before. He was no longer the sweet and cute boy he used to be.
But... "Tong'er, Qi Yao, do you know that I like you, I like you, I like you. I love you so much!" The two of them held hands and swayed in a sweet and affectionate manner.
"I know."
***
When Ji Xinghe came out of the game cabin, Qi Nianqi, who was standing next to him, was puzzled. If it weren't for the Fifth Master still standing outside, he would have thought that the young man in front of him was doing something good with someone in virtual reality. Looking at his charming face, the black mask couldn't hide his cheerful look, and his eyes were sparkling as if they were filled with water.
Hiss, why do I feel a chill on my body? Qi Nianqi came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Ye looking at him with cold eyes. He shuddered instantly and no longer looked in Ji Xinghe's direction.
Ji Xinghe noticed the eye contact between the two people and was a little confused.
Qi Yao frowned again and said to Ji Xinghe, "Don't wear a mask next time you go in."
Ji Xinghe touched his face belatedly, feeling a little depressed. "Okay, I won't bring him next time. There are no outsiders in our house anyway."
After the banquet that day, Ji Xinghe and Qi Yao went back to the lakeside villa to sleep, but they left Ji Jing behind. Before leaving, Ji Xinghe asked Qi Le to help take care of him, and the young boy agreed with a pat on his chest.
Qi Le and Ji Jing were not difficult people to get along with, and since they were of similar age, they quickly became friends within a few days. Nowadays, the two children could be seen having fun together everywhere in the Qi family's home.
Seeing that Ji Jing was living well at the Qi family, Ji Xinghe felt relieved. While he did enjoy the hustle and bustle, it was temporary, and everyone had to go home after the hustle and bustle. He had no intention of adding another person to his family for the time being; his world of just the two of him and Qi Yao was fine.
Well, Qi Yao thought so too. So the two of them happily reached a consensus. It was just a pity that Qi Nianqi had to run back and forth every day, and his legs were almost worn out. The Fifth Master was not happy that he had been visiting too often.
This… He has children below him, and those children are even younger. How can it be easy for him to support such a large family at such a young age? Qi Nianqi's eyes were blank, his thoughts were scattered, and he began to feel resentful as he thought about it.
Fortunately, the gaming experience was a complete success. According to Ji Xinghe, if he hadn't known about it in advance, he wouldn't have been able to tell the difference! It was exactly the same as the real thing!
As soon as Ji Xinghe finished speaking, cheers came from outside the door. Qi Lin opened the door and saw that they were all eavesdropping outside.
"You little bastards." Qi Nianqi was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to pull their ears.
Qi Le, who was leading the group, stood on tiptoe and howled, looking towards Ji Xinghe for help. Ji Xinghe received the distress signal and looked towards Qi Yao.
Qi Yao shook his head slightly to stop Qi Nianqi from grabbing the next person's hand, "That's enough." He had discovered these people as soon as they stood at the door, but he was just too lazy to care about them.
Qi Le rubbed his ears which were pulled red, and said aggrievedly: "We just came to play with Xinghe and order dinner. We heard you talking just when we got to the door. It's all your fault, cousin, for not closing the door properly." If he had told them in advance, he would not have dared to stand outside the door and eavesdrop even if he had eight hundred courage.
Upon hearing this, Qi Nianqi pretended to pull his ear again, but this time Qi Le reacted quickly. As soon as Qi Nianqi raised his hand, he hid behind Ji Xinghe.
They laughed and joked for a while, then all left the conference room and went to the living room to eat.
Five days later, the official website of Galaxy Technology Company announced that it would give away 100 game consoles through a lottery. Each game console came with a quota for the internal test of "Virtual Reality" and could only be bound to one person at a time.
Initially, this news did not attract much attention, because after all, it was a newly opened company and the attention was limited. So basically everyone who participated in the lottery won.
When Galaxy Technology Company actually delivered this huge gaming cabinet to the door, the winners still felt a little unreal.
This silver-grey, low-key, luxurious case, with its futuristic, technologically-inspired design, definitely doesn't come cheap! And they just gave it to me?
Some people scoffed at the statement on Galaxy Technology Company's official website that the game warehouse is bound to the "Virtual Reality" internal test quota.
"Virtual Reality", the name of this game simply has ambition written all over it, but I don't know whether this game is worthy of such an ambitious name.
However, considering that Galaxy Company had at least given them such an expensive gaming cabin, all those who received the gaming cabin still put on their helmets and lay down in the gaming cabin as instructed in the manual, half believing it or not.
Two hours later.
"In my lifetime!!! I can actually wait until the real holographic game is released in my lifetime! This life is worth it!" A man wearing a plaid shirt and black-framed glasses suddenly stood up from the game cabin, tears streaming down his face.
Then he slapped himself hard again. Hiss, it hurt. "It's not a dream!" The man in the shirt looked very excited.
He had seen the Galaxy Technology raffle before, and the reason he participated was purely reflexive. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't see the raffle coming.
When the so-called gaming pod finally arrived, he didn't quite live up to his initial excitement. "Virtual Reality" sounds like a good name, but I haven't seen any company actually pull it off in years.
He is also an avid game enthusiast. Since the concept of holograms came into the market, he has been cheated by game companies many times. He bought five or six game helmets alone, but the actual effects were worse than the last.
Until now, he had given up hope. He had already decided that he would never see the day when the real holographic game came to market. He could only leave a will, instructing his descendants to burn it in his memory when the holographic game came out.
Now, there's no need to burn it. He used it while he was alive. He's so happy.
"Yes, it seems they also gave me a box of nutrient solution." The man in the shirt remembered the nutrient solution he had thrown aside earlier. According to the instructions, if you pour this nutrient solution into the game compartment, you can more than double your game time. He quickly found the nutrient solution and poured it into the game compartment. Then he happily lay down in the game compartment again.
This scene was repeated almost continuously in the next ninety-nine families.
From the very beginning, I felt disdain for Galaxy Technology's boasting, and even felt a little indignant. I felt that the reason why the holographic game market is so chaotic now is because many companies simply cannot sit down and do research. They all talk bigger and bigger, brag louder and louder, and pat their chests more and more, all promoting: Our company's holographic games are absolutely epoch-making!
What a groundbreaking thing! It’s all just a trick to trick these leeks into paying money!
They originally classified Galaxy Technology and their gaming pods as companies that would use any means necessary to exploit victims, and expressed deep disgust and disdain for such companies!
Do you think you can buy me off with a mere lottery draw? Do you think I've never won a prize? Do you think we haven't seen your determination just by looking at this game cabin?
No, we can only feel your waste! Can't you learn from other companies that cut leeks and just make a helmet for fun? Why go to so much trouble to make a game cabin? Are you responsible for wasting national resources?
Anyway, when you have a preconceived first impression of a company and don't like it, everything they do is wrong.
But in the final analysis, all of this still depends on strength.
So later...
So delicious!
