Chapter 60 - Gaming Archives

"I see. Well, that answers my questions. I hope brother Hui Shi can continue teaching me about this remote key thing." Lain finally replied, after a short sigh of relief escaped his mouth.

"Got it. I'll continue explaining the bank balances. After you have money in your bank account, a small menu screen will always pop up whenever you use an instrument that's connected to the government's technology grid that requires in-menu purchases. 

You can close or open that bank balance menu at any time by saying the words 'open or close my bank menu' but you must already have money deposited into a bank previously, for the menu to open or close at your whim." Hui Shi said.

He then took a short second to see if Lain, or Annette, had any questions before continuing. "All the menu sections on the smaller TV screen have contents within them that require the spending of Yearning Dollars. Some pages within the Global Archives section also have virtual stores that allow you to purchase physical items using Yearning Dollars that can be shipped directly to your home from wherever they are located within the empire.

Now, let's move on to the next section of the menu. The Gaming Archives section."

Lain quickly pressed on the Gaming Archives button in the menu section, after Hui Shi finished speaking, then looked at the canvas below it. 

In just a second, the screen changed as the pictures that were there before morphed into new pictures. The new canvas screen still had rows upon rows of pictures, but this time the pictures seen within it were different. There were more cartoon-like pictures on the new canvas than the old. 

Looking at the screen filled with pictures, Hui Shi continued speaking. "Each image on this screen contains a unique game created by game developers situated somewhere within the empire. 

Clicking on a picture, will either ask you to buy the game hidden within it, if it's a game with a cost, or start the game, if the game is free, or have been previously purchased.

Unlike the other sections, some games can be played on the screen, with a virtual keyboard, that allows you to control the in-game elements. While other games create a virtual world around you that allows you to play the game using your physical body.

Many games that teach you martial arts, or cultivation techniques, require you to have enough room around you to maneuver, since they create a virtual world around you that you can practice within.
