Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 234 The Mentally Collapsed Zombie Sister (9)

#The first holographic game is coming soon!#
#RealApocalypticSurvival#
#Experience stores in various regions have gradually opened#
Is this for real or not? Don't let it be like those 4D or 5D movies where the chair just rocks on its own.

I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, there was a period when online game novels were popular, and they were all about holographic online games. When I read them back then, I was thinking that I might experience a real holographic game in my lifetime. But I was constantly disappointed. Although the game experience has been improved, it has all been achieved by deceiving the eyes.

Instead of what I had imagined more than a decade ago.

Direct access to brainwaves...

I thought I'd never see it and would have to ask someone to tell their ancestors, but unexpectedly, it actually appeared!

【We have an experience store right here, wait for me!】

[Won't this thing pose any risks? After all, it involves the brain, and I haven't heard anything about it beforehand. What if it could cause brain death? Also, even if it doesn't cause brain death, could something that involves brainwaves read our memories, steal our privacy, or even confidential information?]

[Is the person upstairs from the State of Qi?]

[This is ridiculous. Even with the safest surgery available today, no one can guarantee a zero mortality rate. If you're really worried, just don't buy it. Nobody's forcing you to buy it. What are you worrying about for no reason?]

I just hope the price isn't too high.

[It's difficult. When these kinds of things first come out, the price can't be too low. When the first mobile phone came out, it sold for over ten thousand yuan, when the average wage was only forty or fifty yuan. When penicillin first came out, it was more expensive than gold.]

Tens of thousands or twenty thousand is still within an acceptable range, but tens or hundreds of thousands is unbearable.

I don't know if I can afford it, but I'll take advantage of the free trial now and try it out. If I can't afford it later, at least I'll have had the experience, so it won't be a big regret.

[What? You guys have never been to an internet cafe?]
Back then, computers were too expensive for many families to afford, which led to the rise of internet cafes. If the prices were too high, surely someone would offer holographic games; if they didn't have the money to buy the equipment, how could they afford to play for a few hours?

[Yes, it's true that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective!]

[What if the holographic gaming device follows a one-person-one-code system, and is non-transferable after being linked? With EEG recognition, if a dozen or so devices are recognized a day, wouldn't there be some confusion or other issues, increasing the risk of accidents?]

[Don't you get tired of thinking about all this every day?]

[It's real, a true holographic experience. I just came out of the experience store. It's not a fake holographic experience; it's a real holographic world that feels like stepping into another dimension. I experienced being bitten by a zombie for three minutes. Because I didn't listen to advice and didn't lower the pain level, I really felt like I died once.]

I don't know how to describe it; my vocabulary is inadequate. But honestly, it felt like a real experience—it was absolutely terrifying. I strongly advise against trying it if you're easily frightened.

[Is it just one game? I'm not a big fan of post-apocalyptic games, can't you make something more casual? Even something like a farming or ranch game would be great!]

I just applied for the trial and am currently ranked 98,720th. I've already tried 270 trials.

Good heavens, when will we ever get there?!

[By the way, what do these experience stores look like? We don't even have one in our remote, impoverished area. Are there any videos?]

[There's no video, but I can give a brief introduction. The experience store has three types of equipment. One is a holographic gaming pod, where you can lie down. It also has massage and nutrient solution functions. It's said that even if you lie in it for seven days and seven nights, a month or a year, as long as you keep taking the nutrient solution, you'll be fine, and your muscles won't atrophy.]

I didn't note the rest; it seems there are quite a few more functions.

Anyway, it's all flashy and gaudy.

The second type is a holographic gaming helmet. The official recommendation is to lie down while wearing it, and to limit daily use to no more than twelve hours, so as not to interfere with your three meals a day.

The third type is a holographic chip, which needs to be implanted.

This is the cheapest, but it also has the most limitations. Because it cannot be charged, it can only use human bioelectricity. The time that can be spent in the holographic world each day is no more than three hours, otherwise it will have an impact on the body.

For example, it makes you extremely hungry, and might even upset your stomach. Also, if there are any game updates or new game releases, you need to go to the official store to update or download the new game. I didn't understand much of the technical jargon, but that's the gist of it. And the fact that the chip is implanted in the temple sounds quite dangerous.

[Holographic chip? I feel like holographic chips involve the most advanced technology, yet they're the cheapest?]

[It sounds weird, how come the cheaper the one, the more freedom it offers? The holographic game pod must be fixed in one place, or rather, even if it's not fixed in one place, it certainly can't be carried around. Under normal circumstances, it should only be used at home.]

As long as you find a safe place where you can charge your device, you can use the holographic helmet anytime, anywhere.

Holographic chips, on the other hand, can be used anywhere.

It consumes energy for three meals a day.

The only difference is that it has a shorter usage time.

[I have a question: If I use that holographic chip to consume bioelectricity, is there any possibility of weight loss if I consume too much? Or does it accelerate the burning of body fat?]

You can ask customer service.

[I have a feeling that the core technology might just be that holographic chip. The so-called holographic helmets and holographic gaming pods are simply based on that chip, with some additional components added. For example, they don't consume bioelectricity, and they add some functions that aren't actually related to holographic games, like not needing to eat.]

That makes sense, that's the truth!!

[Implanting a chip, and then being able to access the holographic world... it feels like they're treating our bodies like cell phones. Isn't the chip just a SIM card?]

[Isn't this thing a potential hazard?]

Implantation seems quite dangerous.

I just don't know the price...

Our country should take national security and the safety of its citizens quite seriously, right? This thing has obtained the necessary permits and can be sold openly here, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? It should be!

All I want to know is the price, the price, the price...

Discussions on the internet continued for about half a month. It's not that the discussions completely disappeared after that, but rather that the price of the holographic gaming device was officially announced after that.

The holographic game pod cost 880,000.

The holographic helmet costs 18,000 yuan.

Four hundred and ninety-eight holographic chips.

At the same time, it officially started selling online, with direct sales of in-stock items, especially chips, which were readily available.

The internet was abuzz again, this time focusing on whether holographic chips could be harmful to humans, given their incredibly low price.

Many people hope that things are of good quality and inexpensive.

However, everyone agrees that you get what you pay for.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanwei, who had just returned home for the holidays, was pulled into the living room by her parents and younger brother before she could even put down her schoolbag, and they discussed what equipment to buy.

It's about spending a huge sum of money to buy the best holographic gaming pod.

Each person should buy a gaming helmet.

Alternatively, to save costs, one could simply buy the holographic chip, which also effectively prevents addiction. After all, the holographic chip can only be used for three hours a day; once that's exceeded, the body cannot provide enough bioelectricity.
