What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

On the television screen, a bespectacled man with shifty eyes appeared in front of the camera and shouted in a highly recognizable voice.

"Hello everyone, this is Captain Ao."

"I believe everyone has already seen the trailer for Resident Evil yesterday. When I first saw the trailer, I was amazed. I never expected that Metten, a game company, could have such high technical capabilities, so I downloaded the game as soon as it was released."

He paused deliberately, then emphasized as he continued, "Most importantly, this game is completely free to download!"

However, the live stream chat didn't buy it at all, with a dense barrage of mockery and doubts flooding the screen.

"Captain Ao, you've really gone too far, old Feng! You actually dare to accept commercial orders!"

"Captain Ao, you're a leopard can't change its spots! Tell me, how much money did you get from Mi Teng this time?!"

"You're even using 'free' as a selling point? You've recommended free games before, and in ten minutes, you got three failed attempts, each requiring a full minute of viewing before you could close it. Now you dare recommend free games again? Old Feng, you're really going to be stuck in outer space!"

Another comment was repeatedly displayed, and the poster seemed particularly angry: "I believed your nonsense and bought 'The Return of the Little Saint,' and I still want to slap myself when I think about it!"

Looking at the barrage of comments, Captain Ao was completely unconcerned. Mi Teng had given him far too much money this time. So what if Lao Feng got a few insults? He would just compensate Lao Feng by getting him a new car after the live stream ended.

"Alright, I'm sure everyone is eager to see Miteng's masterpiece. Let's begin." With that, Captain Ao put on his gaming helmet.

The live stream screen went black very quickly, and a few seconds later, a line of large, imposing characters slowly appeared on the screen.

Resident Evil: Raccoon City - Prologue

As soon as the title appeared, the barrage of sarcastic comments flooded the screen again, showing no sign of abating.

"I bet we'll see the first GG in five minutes!"

"I bet you'll see it in three minutes!"

"I bet the title ends right there and it's game over! If I hadn't, I would have eaten my gaming helmet on the spot!"

Captain Ao ignored the barrage of comments. Soon the Resident Evil title disappeared, and a screen for selecting the level of pain realism appeared.

"Oh, I didn't expect this game to have pain simulation," Captain Ao said with some surprise.

Pain simulation is not uncommon in modern virtual games; many games incorporate it, and it is one of the core experiences of virtual reality games. A game without pain simulation is like a dish without salt—it always feels like something is missing.

However, this technology is still quite expensive. From hardware sensors to software algorithms, from neural signal decoding to haptic feedback, each link requires a top-notch technical team and a large amount of financial investment.

Typically, only AAA titles with production budgets exceeding 3 million yuan are included as a standard feature.

Although the people from Miteng hyped up the game when signing the contract, claiming it would be a revolutionary experience and redefine horror games, Captain Ao always knew the truth.

He had taken on many free game projects, so he knew what those free games were like: poorly made models and monotonous gameplay. You'd get three GGs after playing for five minutes, and you had to watch each GG for a full thirty seconds before you could close it.

In his view, free-to-play games are the sewers of the gaming industry.

So even though he accepted the commercial contract for "Resident Evil", he never really thought it would be a blockbuster. He had even prepared for the worst: after the show aired today, the reputation would completely collapse, and he would quit the internet, take the money given to him by Mi Teng, find a place where no one knew him, and quietly enjoy life.

But now it seems there's still a chance for things to turn around.

"Brothers, this is pain simulation! Something only top-tier games have! It seems Miteng has really gone all out this time! Let's see how realistic this pain simulation can be."

After Captain Ao finished speaking, he began to adjust the pain simulation level, and he immediately turned the pain simulation level up to the maximum.

The screen immediately displayed 100% realistic pain sensation. He then adjusted the realism to the lowest level, but it got stuck at 5% and he couldn't move.

"Did you all see that?! The pain simulation in this game is 100% realistic! And the lowest level of pain realism is locked at 5%! This is definitely a hardcore game with full immersion and extremely realistic pain sensations."

Captain Ao shouted exaggeratedly, and the comments on the screen next to him were also flooding the screen.

"Has Miteng Company gone mad! Their pain simulation is up to 100%! Aren't they afraid of people dying from the pain?"

"The pain threshold in most AAA games is only 20% at most, and you can even manually turn it off completely. Compared to that, this is just too ruthless."

"Even the phenomenal hit game 'Battlefield Vanguard' only has a maximum pain threshold of 50, and the lowest can be adjusted to a 1% no-damage mode. What is Miteng trying to do?!"

"This game is likely to deter most people."

"I'm starting to panic, but why do I also really want to play...?"

While the barrage of comments was still going crazy, Captain Ao had already adjusted the pain simulation level to 10%.

"Brothers, I may be bold, but I'm not stupid. 100% pain sensitivity? That's for the tough guys. I'll use 10% to test the waters first."

But just then, a striking message worth a thousand appeared at the top.

"Captain Ao, if you dare to use 100% realistic pain simulation throughout today's live stream, I'll give you a hundred rockets!"

Upon seeing this eye-catching message, Captain Ao's heart skipped a beat. One rocket was worth 10,000 yuan, and 100 rockets would be worth 1 million yuan. He had been streaming for so long and had never received a gift worth 1 million yuan.

No one questioned whether what the person who posted the eye-catching comment was telling the truth, because it was the account of Wang Sicong, the top rich kid, who had never broken his promises regarding donations.

However, Captain Ao was still somewhat hesitant, after all, this was 100% realistic pain. Not many people dared to use the 50% pain level in Battlefield Vanguard; only extremely hardcore players would use that.

He had tried playing it before, but got thrashed and didn't dare to open Battlefield Vanguard again for a week.

He was certain that if he were to turn on 100% realism, he might start crying and screaming.

Just as he was hesitating, the notification sound for donations kept ringing.

One after another, players' comments followed, flooding the screen.

"Captain Ao, if you dare to use 100% realistic pain simulation, I'll reward you with a rocket!"

"That's right, we'll give you a tip too!"

Gift effects exploded one after another in the lower right corner of the screen, with starlight, airplanes, and sports cars layered on top of each other, and a dense pile of tips instantly appeared.

Everyone was filled with curiosity and eager to see what this unprecedented, 100% synchronized neural pain was like.
