170 Virtual World
Jin Shi, a reporter from the daily gaming news, was a cyberpunk fan.The Star Empire press conference was about to begin, and he specially asked the chief editor for a spot to attend.
Jin Shi’s greatest wish was to meet the legendary genius planner, Mindy.
It was said that the entire world and basic programming of Star Empire were all done by this big shot Mindy and that she was a very powerful person.
The lights in the conference hall went off, and a cat’s head appeared on the big screen in front of them.
Jin Shi also became nervous. This big shot, who had never shown her face to anyone, actually came to meet them in such a way. This was too novel.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Mindy, the producer of Codename: Star Empire. I’m currently conversing with everyone in the game.”
“What kind of mysterious trick is this?”
“Yeah, what do you mean by talking to us in the game? Are you in the game right now? Don’t tell us you’re some game NPC.”
The gaming experts discussed among themselves. They had never seen such a mysterious game producer.
The cat’s head on the screen disappeared, and the entire exhibition hall was shown on the wall.
Jin Shi quickly raised his camera, but he realized that the camera couldn’t capture the shock at all.
“I’m using neural connection technology. Do you guys still remember the hibernation chamber we just experienced before we entered?”
Before they entered, they were all pulled into a small movie theater. There were several hibernation pods inside, and the guests were called out after five minutes of experience in the hibernation pods.
“Is this venue virtual? Are we all in your game?” Jin Shi asked boldly.
“That’s right. Everyone, welcome to the real press conference of Codename: Star Empire.” Guo Miao’s voice disappeared, and the hall in front of everyone dispersed, replaced by the scene of Haiqin city.
The few experts who had just made fun of her shut their mouths. They had never seen such a realistic holographic game.
“Everyone can experience the game for four hours. After that, you will be forced to go offline. I wish you all a good time.”
Jin Shi felt the blood in his body boil. He found an electronic screen in his hand. The clothes he was wearing had changed into clothes in the virtual world. He quickly changed into a few sets of clothes and went to experience the various ways of playing in the virtual world.
Four hours passed by quickly. The sleeping pods opened, and the experts and media woke up.
Jin Shi couldn’t help but praise that this creator, Mindy, was indeed a genius.
Just as Jin Shi was about to leave, a line of words appeared on the screen opposite the sleeping pod.
[Question and answer session]
The experts sat back down. This was a good opportunity to make things difficult for the genius designer.
“I’m Mindy. You’ve just experienced our game, so you can ask me questions now. We have half an hour, so please hurry up.”
Guo Miao still didn’t appear, but the cat’s head still appeared on the big screen.
“The virtual world is so realistic,” an expert said. “The technology used won’t be harmful to the human body, right?”
“That won’t happen. Our neural connection technology has already reduced the radiation, so it’s not harmful to the human body. It can even help you test your physical condition.”
…
Everyone asked a variety of questions, and Mindy answered them all seriously.
There were only a few minutes left when it was Jin Shi’s turn.
“One last question: since the virtual world is so realistic, I would like to know if we are in reality or in the virtual world.”
The cat face on the big screen laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m not a fan of inception, so I won’t weave a dream within a dream for you.”
Suddenly, the screen turned off, and a spinning top appeared.
Jin Shi felt both nervous and excited. He wanted to open his eyes suddenly, but he found himself still in the sleeping cabin.
A line of words appeared on the screen: [How can you be sure that you are not in the virtual world?]
Everyone held their breaths, waiting for other information to appear on the screen.
After a few seconds, another line of words appeared on the screen: [Unfortunately, this is the real world.]
[“Codename: Star Empire” closed beta is about to begin. There are only 500 slots worldwide.]
