Area A of Shuanghe Reality is always the busiest area. It may not have the largest number of people, but there are thousands of figures running, jumping and tumbling between the venues, and there are cheers and screams from a huge number of onlookers. The noisy sound waves never stop for a moment.
This is where the most unscrupulous support from real-life technology is provided. Under the guidance of immersive equipment, players can go from a city full of tall buildings and busy traffic to dangerous seas and wilderness in an instant, where they can struggle to escape under the giant mouth of aberrations, or show off. Shenwei, in two-way hypnosis, achieves achievements, wins respect, vents emotions, deliberately seeks abuse... but what he gains in the end is real pleasure.
Yes, all you need to feel pleasure is the secretion of dopamine. The experience may not be real, but people are so easy to deceive!
So, who doesn’t like playing games?
In the heated atmosphere of Area A, looking at the completely oblivious players in front and on the left and right, Ronan really couldn't say no if he refused.
Well, Ronan was actually feeling itchy inside. Virtual achievements, respect, etc., have little meaning to a person with abilities like him who has been on the line of life and death many times. However, being able to interact closely with friends is still very attractive to him.
Ronan opened his mouth and was about to agree, when Xue Lei said "Ouch" and slapped him on the shoulder. The force of the punch was extremely strong, but it couldn't resist his annoyance: "Why are you hesitating!"
"Huh?" Ronan looked innocent.
"He's not wearing a helmet. Besides, what else do you expect from a rookie?"
I don’t know if the paper-cut is helping Ronan speak, or if he is deliberately hurting him. Next, he explained for Xue Lei: "Just now, there were two simulator seats available at the Hero's Seat. Lei Zi wanted to grab the seat, but you missed it while you were talking... In fact, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at it, It’s not that easy.”
Xue Lei retorted: "I heard that the probability of grabbing a seat in a luxury package is several times that of an ordinary box. Maybe you can grab it?"
Hero seat? Probability of grabbing a seat?
I seem to have heard of it, but I have no definite impression. Ronan once again felt the deep malice of the normal world.
It was Tian Si who observed the situation and stepped forward to explain. The environment here is noisy, and Tian Si speaks in a low voice, so he naturally leans into Ronan's ear and gestures towards her.
Ronan felt that there were hanging strands of hair gently scratching his cheeks and collarbones, and a slight fragrance was secreted into his nose. If you don't consciously perceive it, everything will be subtle and subtle, as if there is nothing there, which is in line with his aesthetics.
Therefore, Ronan feels quite comfortable physically. At the same time, Tian Si did explain the ins and outs of the relevant matters clearly.
The so-called Hero Seat refers to one hundred six-degree-of-freedom advanced simulators arranged in the center of Area A. These simulators are seamlessly connected to the wearable devices worn by players. While giving a more realistic feeling, they can also support players to make bolder movements without worrying about being injured due to excessive immersion in the reality.
In addition, these simulators have also been fully upgraded in terms of a series of controllability indicators such as accuracy and sensitivity. They have the upper hand in battles. Therefore, they are considered "hero templates" by players, and they naturally flock to them.
But the situation in Area A is like this. Thousands of players compete for a hundred seats every day, causing a serious imbalance between supply and demand. For this reason, on the one hand, Shuanghe Reality has raised the consumption limit of these 100 seats to the highest level, on the other hand, it does not accept reservations or bidding, and only conducts random flash sales through the system, which is at least nominally open, fair and just.
As for the probability of luxury packages and ordinary packages, it is just a speculation among players, and the operator has never officially confirmed it.
Ronan stated his understanding: "So even if you want to play, you may not be able to play?"
Xue Lei sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't grab the hero seat, anyway... Well, are you going to play or not?"
"Let's play, just lead the way." Ronan shrugged, put the semi-enclosed helmet in his hand on his head, and followed the paper-cut instructions to the game area on the association's homepage and learned the temporary guidance mode.
After a few rounds of operations, the mental induction was successfully closed, no longer overstepping the control, and the immersion effect increased significantly. He naturally focused on the translucent panel in front of him, reading all kinds of real-time information about Area A, and scrolling through the screen.
At the same time, various surrounding AR effects have also been enhanced. The impression of the amusement park was getting weaker and weaker, and Ronan felt as if he had arrived in a dilapidated town filled with dust. The streets were criss-crossed, and various buildings were lined up in rows. Various bars, shops, and training grounds were hidden among each other, including those leading to the road in the distance. The rusty gates outside the town also appeared in the field of vision.
Behind the rusty gate is the real battlefield, and where they are now is only a service area.
Xue Lei turned around and looked around, looking for the most suitable place to go in the complex and lifelike AR images: "If we can't get the hero seat, the rest doesn't matter, let's go...hehehe!"
While Xue Lei was shouting, Ronan saw an eye-catching blood-red message flash across the translucent panel: "Players, please note that seats 77 and 91 in the hero area are vacant..."
"Grab it!" Paper Cut shouted from the side.
Ronan subconsciously triggered it with his thoughts, but he soon realized that this was not Liu Er and Lingbo Net, and thought control was useless?
But the next moment, the image appeared on the translucent panel, the alloy dagger and the ferocious beast's limbs collided with each other, sparks were flying, and the passionate background music penetrated into the ears, and there was also a majestic male voice, there was a bloody battle: "The cruel battlefield welcomes new heroes. Behold, the door to glory is opened!"
Ronan was stunned: "D-Did you get it?"
"Yes!"
Both of them have been surrounded by special AR light and shadow effects, and they can know each other's identity at a glance. Just like this, inexplicably, they both qualified for the "Hero Seat", and the "two heroes competing for the seat" achieved success!
Paper Cut laughed and pushed Ronan from the back: "How many old ladies have you helped to cross the street in the past two days? You lucky guy, hurry up, there is a time limit to qualify for the seat."
"Luck?" The probability problem is a mathematical problem, and it would be too rash to explain it by luck. Ronan is a person who likes to be more serious, so his brain suddenly shut down and entered an endless loop.
But Paper Cut pushed him forward, with Xue Lei leading the way, and the group walked quickly towards the hero area. Finally, amid a bunch of envious glances and sighs, we entered the relevant closed area.
At this point, Paper Cutting and Tian Si cannot enter, as they are blocked by the gorgeous projection screen wall.
"Get out of here, you damn lucky guy. Let's find a place to kill time." Paper Cut laughed, slightly adjusted the position of his helmet, and then asked Tian Si: "Does Miss Tian usually play the game Ten Days in the Wilderness?"
Tian Si was wearing soft-armor sensing equipment, holding his helmet between his elbows. Under the dim light of the game area, he looked somewhat dashing and heroic. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I play it too, but there are more mobile game modes."
Paper Cut invited her: "I also like to play mobile games. Is there a strategy room here? Let's go play two games?"
Tian Si's eyes changed. He didn't refuse but didn't agree either. Instead, he raised a new question. She imitated Ronan's title: "Brother Paper-cutting, my juniors and the others succeeded in competing for the position just now. Isn't it luck?"
Paper-cut said with a smile: "How could it be luck? They temporarily bound the six ears, triggered them with their thoughts, and had the Lingbo Network to transmit the conversion signal. It was equivalent to having a flash-kill plug-in. Who can be faster than them? This is the advantage of those with abilities. .”
There were many nouns in the words, which were beyond Tian Si's cognitive range, but it did not prevent her from understanding the general meaning. And because she didn't understand, she couldn't help but imagine the mystery inside, and she was in a trance for a while.
But she quickly came back to her senses and felt a little strange: "Then why didn't you say it just now?"
"It's not easy to get a surprise. Is it fun to be too real? Especially that guy Nanzi. If he continues to develop like this, he won't age before he gets old. There will be no problem at all in turning into a theoretical machine, don't you think? "
Tian Si could only smile at this time.
Paper Cut invited again: "I just checked, the strategy room is over there, do you want to go?"
"I..." Tian Si only started, but found it difficult to continue. Because what she wanted to say was irrelevant to the so-called "strategy room".
Paper Cut turned to look at her. Even through the semi-enclosed helmet, Tian Si felt inexplicably stressed.
At this time, the light and shadow on the projection screen wall showed the incredible fantasy force of the game heroes. The gorgeous effects and fierce conflicts caused players to stop and watch, and even cheered loudly.
This scene gave her fantasy and motivation: "Brother Paper-cutting, can I also..."
Paper Cut was wearing a helmet, so he probably didn't hear it, so he half-turned around and waved to lead her to the strategy room.
Tian Si wanted to make his voice louder, but courage was famous for its strength, weakness and failure. In the end, the words remained unspoken. She was a little frustrated, looked back at the projection screen wall, finally put on her helmet, and left behind the paper cutout.
Little did she know that the paper-cut walking in front also sighed: "After seeing the sky outside the well, how could I want to go back to the mud... But if you don't have the talent to jump out, if you think about it again, it's just... It’s a disaster for yourself.”
With Tian Si's age and ability, it would be almost impossible to achieve results even if he took the path of physical strengthening, even with the guidance of a famous teacher.
As for mental strengthening... At first glance, it seems that he doesn't have that talent, let alone that.
Talent, talent.
Thinking about it this way, paper-cutting also feels boring. Isn't there an upright cultivation method in this world that starts from scratch, grows from small to large, and gradually accumulates steps to reach thousands of miles?
What is the foundation that these capable people rely on? Who can give them a clear answer?
Ronan's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind. Perhaps only this kind of freak who is extremely talented and devotes himself to studying theory can hope to break through the fog and point to the truth.
But such an existence is really unlovable. In comparison, even the vain and stupid Yue Zheng is more like a living person.
This is not good, very bad!
Although he is probably not qualified to comment, but at heart, Paper Cut really doesn't like this change.
"Tsk, I'm such a bitch!" Even though he kept laughing at himself, after taking a few steps, the paper-cut still connected with people through his six ears.
At first he was going to choose He Yueyin, she was his secretary after all. But then I thought about it again, Secretary He didn't seem to have too much of a human touch, and Ronan, who was able to put people into mist at any time at the level of truth theory, might be a step above "his own secretary".
As soon as he thought about this, Paper Cut changed the contact person, but as expected, there was only a prompt tone of "Please leave a message if you have anything" from the other side.
"We're in again." Paper Cut shook his head and honestly translated his thoughts into words and transmitted them, "President, I want to ask you something about Ronan's child's personality..."
After Ronan entered the hero area, he found that the area where the simulator was placed was like a maze. He quickly separated from Xue Lei under the leadership of the AR guide.
But soon, a dialogue window lit up on one side of the translucent panel, and Xue Lei's real-time avatar appeared, allowing him to talk to him. This is a group privilege enjoyed after entering the luxury package. People outside the package can only send messages honestly.
"Nanzi, let's not go into the battlefield. Let's build a room for fun first."
"Okay." Ronan was a standard rookie, and he felt a little guilty when he was asked to immediately enter the most explosive and chaotic real-life battlefield. Xue Lei's plan was exactly what he wanted.
As soon as they made contact, his and Xue Lei's "good luck" began to ferment rapidly, and avatars appeared one after another. Some are instant messaging, and some are sending messages.
Mo Peng: Shit, starting from last month, I have grabbed a hundred rounds...
Robbio: Let's go play colorful ball later. Maybe we can make back the expenses tonight.
Mo Han: Do you feel it’s a waste?
Tian Si: Well, I just saw this function. Come on.
This experience, which is comparable to winning the lottery, spreads quickly among small circles. After a while, people including Ruan Zihui, Tong Hui, Qiu Peipei and others sent congratulatory messages. Even Yue Qin and Turner, who were in an awkward position, also said a few polite words to express their congratulations.
Of course, there is no need to count on Yue Zheng or anything like that.
When Ronan walked to the hero seat No. 91 he grabbed, he was actually a little disappointed. Although Xue Lei and the others explained this thing in a grand way, from the appearance point of view, it is not much different from the fully enclosed maglev cabin in the VIP room.
Well, bringing the VIP room experience to the public area may be a trick.
Ronan began to link the data with the help of the facilitator. He was already familiar with the journey. About thirty seconds later, he received Xue Lei's invitation. The scenery in front of him immediately separated from the reality of Shuanghe River and turned into an unblocked square platform similar to a ring.
"Isn't it a wilderness?" Ronan was surprised. This kind of battlefield setting was too lazy.
"Who says it's not the case? There are several fighting arena scenes in the wilderness. This is the 'Fire Hill Life and Death Arena'. It's super famous, okay?"
Xue Lei appeared in the ring. Among the four categories of standing, dark blue, distortion, and fantasy, he chose the most realistic "standing" human hero. Under the real-life effect, he was wrapped in an exoskeleton, but it was Take them off piece by piece.
Seeing this, Ronan felt very ominous. With a stunned effort, he suddenly excited and blurted out: "Change the venue..."
"Why go to all the trouble? Just come here! We all choose standing human heroes, close combat without armor, and we practice Sanshou." Xue Lei clenched his fists impatiently, laughing, "It's a happy decision!"
