Great, now we are dead!

The Silver Family absolutely cannot afford a gaming helmet!

Furthermore, he is under a lot of academic pressure and spends a lot of time reading and doing exercises every day. Even if his financial situation allowed, he wouldn't have the time to take risks in the electronic world.

Of course, after hearing so much about ALO, it's impossible for him not to be curious; he just managed to suppress it with self-control.

VR games... are the physical sensations really exactly the same as in reality?

With these questions in mind, Shirogane Miyuki entered the student council room, only to witness a scene that left him utterly bewildered:

On the two sofas in the reception area, two men and two women sat, all leaning back as if asleep. But the NERvGears they wore and the server on the table in the middle revealed that this was not the case.

What are they doing? — Shirogane Miyuki didn't dare to disturb them. He went to his seat as usual and began to organize his schedule for the day.

But as the student council president, his position naturally allowed him to control the overall situation and observe the entire room, so he couldn't help but watch the four of them playing games together.

"Shinomiya, Ishigami, Fujiwara... and the rest is Kuze?"

Instead of going to the infirmary today, you came to the student council instead?

Miyuki Shirogane knew that some people were difficult to restrain with rules, so he wasn't indignant, but rather felt quite helpless.

"So, Ishigami isn't the only gamer anymore? But Shinomiya is too..."

What truly surprised him was that Shinomiya, who had never been interested in high-tech and digital products and still uses a flip phone, was now addicted to it—was this game really that fun?

drop!

The short notification sound brought Shirogane Miyuki's attention back to reality. He saw one of the people suddenly sit up from the sofa, take off his NERvGear, and reveal a handsome and cheerful smile.

Ye Shou stretched his neck, and a faint smile appeared on his lips when he saw Bai Yin.

"I accidentally triggered the security mechanism."

"Ugh?"

Bai Yin was taken aback.

"what happened?"

"senior?"

"Is there a bug?"

Before Shirogane Miyuki could answer, a series of surprised voices rang out, and the remaining three also logged out of the game and took off their helmets.

"Ah, President! You've already arrived."

"Good morning"

Good morning, Shirogane.

Ishigami greeted them politely, glanced at the bewildered Shinomiya and Chika, and then looked at Ye Shou with a puzzled expression: "Did you disconnect? Why did you log out without warning, senpai?"

"Yeah, it's rare to get to one percent but then the whole team gets wiped out."

Chika is someone who takes games very seriously, and her voice was full of regret as she spoke.

Ye Shou said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I might have been too excited, my heart rate was too fast..."

"Ok?"

Chika tilted her head: "Generally speaking, helmets do measure heart rate and blood pressure, but forcibly disengaging them requires a very high threshold, right?"

"It's a problem with the equipment,"

Ye Shou shrugged. "There was a quality scandal that broke out a while ago, you know what I mean."

"Oh"

They drew out the sounds, exchanged mischievous glances, and couldn't help but laugh.

Even the Japanese themselves find the "craftsman spirit" quite baffling.

At this moment, Ishigami noticed Shirogane, who was silently observing, and enthusiastically introduced it to him: "Although NERvGear intercepts the body's sensory signals, it has a threshold set for safety reasons. If the heartbeat or body temperature fluctuates abnormally, it will alert the player in the game."

In addition, in some special cases, it will thoughtfully save the user's progress and then exit.

For example, a bladder explosion! That's what you're most afraid of when playing games.

Shirogane suddenly realized, while Chika and Shinomiya looked disgusted.

Ms. Fujiwara pouted and said, "I think Ishigami-kun should watch his wording... Don't look at me, I don't need this function, because I always take care of it in advance every time I log on... Cough, President, I'm a little late today."

"The tram is delayed."

A flash of inspiration struck Baiyin, but he couldn't quite grasp the key point, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

Would someone like Ye Shou tolerate his project having quality problems time and time again?

—He guessed right, it wasn't a problem with the helmet, it was just that Ye Shou's body was unusual.

After Ye Shou enters the game, he will use the [Ghost Brain] to enter a simulation battle. His vital signs will be extremely exaggerated, just like in the laboratory before, which directly triggered an alarm.

Therefore, the helmet he uses is specially made, with a threshold that is two or three levels higher than that of ordinary people.

This time, I brought a gift to visit the student council and took the opportunity to let everyone experience it. I subconsciously activated my "ghost brain" and forgot that it was just an ordinary device.

"By the way, it's early morning, what are you doing here?"

"It was given to me by Xiao Shou while we were playing games."

Chika drawled out her words in a spoiled manner, "Doesn't the president know ALO?"

"I'm not a caveman, I'm just a little surprised that they've already infiltrated our student council."

There was nothing she could do; after all, there was a guide here—Chika grinned foolishly, completely oblivious to the fact that.

"Would you like to try it out, Shirogane? There's an extra helmet here."

Ye Shouwen smiled gently and said, "If you haven't played this kind of game before, you might feel a little dizzy at first, but you'll get used to it gradually."

“No, this…”

Silver scratched his cheek in distress: "There's not much time."

"That's not necessarily true, Chairman."

Chika took the initiative to persuade her, "This is my first time trying it too, and how should I put it... it's surprisingly effective."

Which aspect are you referring to?

"This game software has a teaching module loaded. Whether you're looking up information or figuring out problem-solving strategies, it's faster and easier to understand than using a computer. The search results are also exceptionally accurate... What's the name of that AI again?"

In short, it helps us filter out useless information and select the answers we want.

Chika looked quite amazed: "At first I wasn't used to it, but after getting used to it I found it much more convenient. I can even use a document camera for reference, just like in the movies, it's so clear at a glance!"

"That's really good stuff,"

Shirogane Miyuki was also greatly intrigued, "I'll give it a try too!"

He also sat on the sofa and experienced it for a while. He immediately felt like he was witnessing a futuristic technology. After taking off the helmet, he lingered in the memory for a long time, feeling a sense of loss.

However, he was truly short of money and his family was struggling financially, so he probably couldn't afford such an expensive item in a short period of time.

I've earned some money working during summer vacation, maybe I can buy one for my younger sister.

At this moment, Chika said cheerfully, as if wanting to take credit, "President, Xiaoshou and the Chairman have already agreed to conduct a pilot program at Xiuzhi Academy to test the teaching effectiveness of this helmet!"

Although it can't be used by the entire school yet, it's said that volunteers will be selected to form a temporary class.

The others obviously already knew the news, so they weren't surprised, and Shirogane immediately understood what was going on:

Under the Shuchiin system, the student council wields considerable power because it represents the interests of all students to some extent. These students, in turn, possess immense influence. Therefore, the school board does not have absolute authority; often, the student council's consent is required to implement certain policies.

For example, the current student council includes daughters of the Shinomiya and Fujiwara families, and there's also a hidden figure named Kuzeha Mori in the school.

If there's anything that needs to be negotiated with Ye Shou, it's obvious that these two would be more effective—what's the school board anyway?!

"I see. So, Kuze-kun wants to enter the education field?"

Not only did Shirogane Miyuki understand Ye Shou's intention, he also bluntly said, "If even Shuchiin University is vigorously promoting this kind of teaching tool, other prestigious schools will follow suit immediately, right?"

Not to mention parents will also be exposed to NERvGear... as always, it's practically flawless.

Ye Shou smiled smugly, exchanged a glance with Bai Yin, and nodded to each other.

—The two had a good relationship; Ye Shou had one of the few friends with whom he had no vested interests.

Incidentally, Chika and the president's younger sister, Shirogane Kei, are very close. It was because of this that Ye Shou became acquainted with the Shirogane family, and even took his childhood friend shopping with the two siblings.

"If NERvGear's effects are truly immediate, then even if educational institutions reject it, it won't stop students and parents from embracing it."

Kaguya Shinomiya also showed an appreciative expression: "You live up to your reputation, you've found a great way to break the deadlock, Kuze-kun."

"Thank you all for your help."

Ye Shou smiled politely.

At this point, even Ishigami understood and couldn't help but show a look of joy.

A pilot program was conducted at Xiuzhiyuan, where student volunteers used NERvGear to improve their learning efficiency and their grades showed significant improvement.

Other students, either to avoid falling behind or out of curiosity, also started using NERvGear for learning;

As parents of the powerful and elite, they inevitably come into contact with this and fully understand its practicality;

NERvGear's instructional and operational modules have been further expanded; this phased development was easily predicted and was inevitable.

In this magical land of East Asia, you'll find that even students at Shuchiin University, who have no worries about their future, are still urged to study by their parents.

Even the powerful and wealthy at the top of the social pyramid consider it a great honor for their children to have good grades—of course, if a child is so badly raised that sending them abroad for further education is a different story.

Once NERvGear becomes a powerful teaching tool, families with the means will naturally become its supporters; otherwise, they risk falling behind their classmates.

In this way, the Jiushi Group will make countless profits... although Ye Shou doesn't care.

Ye Shou strongly promoted this for two reasons:

First, it follows the original idea of ​​spreading virtual reality technology around the world, thereby indirectly enhancing its own influence.

Secondly, the most recent Jin appeared... to protect all of humanity!

No joke!

Although he hasn't found the pyramids yet, and the exploration team sent to Kumamoto City hasn't discovered any ruins, now that he's encountered a "Sukuna Oni," he has to be wary of even more powerful monsters appearing in the future.

The technology in the real world is far inferior to the advanced technology of humans in Ultraman.

Therefore, he will actively promote this advanced technology now and in the future, hoping to contribute in some way and perhaps inspire some genius to develop groundbreaking technology.

—If that's true, the Kuze Group will be the first to reap the rewards.

Who knows, when the Kirieloids come out in the future, Ye Shou will be able to pull out the Max Power Cannon from his crotch and blast these space bumpkins back!

……

【ALO】is really making waves. Although the helmet is only sold locally, the realism and playability shown in the game live streams have already earned it a worldwide reputation, and some small Southeast Asian countries are no exception.

In a ward of a plastic surgery hospital in Thailand, a small color TV hanging from the ceiling was broadcasting news about the ALO craze that had swept the country this month. The host looked quite excited, as if he had played it himself.

The patients in the room were also quite interested, showing expressions of curiosity and envy—except for one person.

She was a very special patient. It wasn't that her injuries were particularly severe, but rather that as a patient who had undergone "full-body surgery," she should have received the best post-operative care. However, her guardian was extremely stingy and only arranged for her to stay in a regular ward.

She has just undergone surgery less than two weeks ago, and she can't even take off her bandages yet. She has to struggle to survive without a caregiver and is occasionally checked on by others.

Fortunately, she was very resilient and actually pulled through. The doctor said her surgery was a great success—you're a real girl now, be happy!

Her time in Thailand also brought about many changes within her, gradually making her stronger.

But I still burst into tears when I saw the incredibly familiar [ALO] promotional PV.

Chapter 30 Sawai? Which Sawai are you talking about?

"How come you're making money again? This is so troublesome."

Looking at the latest report, Ye Shou shook his head in dissatisfaction.

It seems his grandfather won't be able to return to Japan anytime soon.

"Lord Ye, the two of them have arrived and are waiting outside the door."

After hanging up the phone, Liuli informed him, "It's a little earlier than the scheduled time. Shall we meet now?"

“Talented people are rare… let them in.”

Ye Shou put down his pen, stretched his wrist, and made a "removing" gesture. Liu Li noticed this strange action but said nothing.
