Super Copy of Great Power Technology

The young man, wearing a hoodie and black-rimmed glasses, was the last to speak. He took the microphone and said, "My name is Jin Junfei. I'm an electronics review blogger and also a seasoned online gamer who has been eagerly anticipating the legendary virtual reality game. I believe there are countless game enthusiasts in the audience and in the live stream who are also very curious about the world's first virtual reality game. I'll enter the virtual game on your behalf and experience it for myself, and then I'll share my thoughts with you."

After the three speakers finished their self-introductions, applause erupted from the audience. The three participants had diverse backgrounds, making it unlikely they were all planted. Especially noteworthy was Jin Junfei, the last to speak. A former professional esports player who led his team to a WCG championship, he was extremely famous, and many in the audience recognized him. After retiring from the professional team, Jin Junfei transitioned to the social media field, becoming a product review blogger, where he also thrived. His review videos are known in the industry for their objectivity, honesty, and frankness in pointing out the shortcomings and flaws of the reviewed products. This has offended many manufacturers, and his videos are frequently reported, thwarted, and taken down, yet he remains steadfast. It is this persistence that has earned him widespread recognition from netizens, amassing over 20 million followers across the internet and making him a significant figure in the tech world.

Zhao Hongcai waved towards the backstage area, and six staff members filed onto the stage, bringing three chairs and three brain-computer interface (BCI) devices. They were given to three testers, who were then instructed on how to wear and operate them. Perhaps by coincidence, or perhaps intentionally, Jin Junfei was assigned the helmet-style BCI, the most realistic one, perfectly suited for virtual game testing. Five minutes later, the three testers sat in their chairs and pressed the activation button on their BCI devices. The next moment, all three closed their eyes, their consciousness entering the virtual world.

"To allow everyone to witness their experiences in the virtual world, we have enabled live streaming on three brain-computer interface devices in advance. Please enjoy the holographic images and witness their amazing experiences in the virtual world."

As Zhao Hongcai introduced the projector, the holographic image, which had been used as the projection screen for the press conference, suddenly expanded, almost covering the entire stage. The holographic video signal switched synchronously, and another Wang Xiaofeng appeared on stage. Compared to the original, her appearance and figure were virtually identical, except that she was wearing an embroidered cheongsam, and the surrounding scene was no longer the press conference venue, but a simply furnished room. "Wang Xiaofeng" looked up at the ceiling, then down at her cheongsam, squatted down, and touched the floor, feeling that everything was incredibly real. To confirm that she was in a virtual world and not dreaming, she even pinched her thigh, resulting in a painful twitch, reddening her eyes, and almost bringing tears to her eyes. Wang Xiaofeng's reckless action elicited a burst of laughter from the audience.

"The scene where Reporter Wang is currently located is what we call the Initial Room. This is the first place you appear after registering your account and logging into the virtual world; it's your private territory. In the Initial Room, you can change your clothes, put on makeup, and spend money to buy various decorations to beautify the room. The Initial Room is also the entrance and transit station to various virtual worlds with different functions. See that bookshelf against the wall? The books on it are the entrances to the designated virtual worlds. If you want to enter the virtual shopping street, just pick up the book 'Ruida Mall,' open it to any page, and you'll be transported to the shopping street."

In the virtual world, Wang Xiaofeng seemed to have heard Zhao Hongcai's explanation as well. Following his instructions, she picked up the book "Ruida Mall" from the bookshelf and casually opened it. The next moment, Wang Xiaofeng transformed into a wisp of white smoke and was sucked into the book. Without a human hand supporting it, the book "Ruida Mall" didn't fall; instead, it slowly rose and floated back onto the bookshelf.

The scene shifts, and Wang Xiaofeng stands blankly on a bustling commercial street. Pedestrians come and go in a constant stream, and numerous stalls line both sides of the street, selling food and drinks. The shouts of vendors, the sounds of bargaining, and the laughter of children fill the air, creating a vibrant, everyday atmosphere. Commercial buildings line both sides of the street, ranging from tiny roadside shops to large shopping malls and centers dozens of stories high. Groups of people frequently enter and exit these buildings, suggesting that business is thriving.

Everything before her eyes made Wang Xiaofeng believe she had arrived at a commercial street in an unfamiliar city. Everything was so real, so lifelike, so immersive. Only the constantly flashing Ruida Mall icon in the lower right corner of her vision reminded Wang Xiaofeng that this was just a virtual space constructed by a brain-computer interface device. All the buildings, streets, stalls, goods, and even vendors, shop assistants, and pedestrians were fake, just a piece of data in a computer program.

Having figured all this out, Wang Xiaofeng was not disappointed at all. Instead, her eyes lit up as she looked at the various snacks on the street and became excited.

"If these snacks are also fake, then it means I won't get fat no matter how much I eat, which is great! Let me try the lamb skewers from this virtual world first; they've recreated some of the flavor."

Wang Xiaofeng cheered and ran towards the nearest lamb skewer stall. For modern women, especially beautiful women, weight loss is an unavoidable topic. Exercise and diet control are all aimed at maintaining a healthy figure and preventing weight gain. Wang Xiaofeng was a foodie from a young age, with no resistance to delicious snacks, fruits, and treats. Coupled with her well-off family and pampered parents, she never lacked snacks, resulting in her being overweight from a young age. From elementary to middle school, she was known as the chubby girl in her class. Later, as Wang Xiaofeng grew up, she developed a desire to be beautiful. To lose weight, she tried various methods, suffering a lot, and finally succeeded in becoming a stunningly beautiful woman with a perfect figure. However, only she knew the hardships and suffering she endured. Moreover, to maintain her figure, she had to continue controlling her diet, carefully calculating her meals every day, not to save money, but to reduce calorie intake. She dared not eat anything too greasy or high in sugar, no matter how delicious it was—what an ordeal for a foodie!

Now, Wang Xiaofeng seems to have found a way to both maintain her figure and satisfy her cravings: brain-computer interfaces, or rather, the virtual world. (End of Chapter)
