What should we do now?"
"Should we do a quest? Or kill monsters? Isn't that how games usually work?"
"But there's no prompt telling us what to do?"
The three of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do for a moment.
In typical games, there would be prompt boxes, information panels, and the like, but in 'Myth,' all of this is integrated into a personal system.
This personal system is a device within each helmet, already bound from the start, so by just thinking about it, the personal system will automatically pop up a virtual window containing all your information.
Not just in-game information, but also future virtual communities, virtual networks, virtual cinemas...
All consumption or places visited will be recorded in the personal system within the helmet or gaming pod.
However, because 'Myth' hasn't been officially released yet and much data hasn't been loaded, players naturally wouldn't know, and the three testers were certainly unaware of this.
"Oh, I forgot again. Since the game hasn't officially launched yet and the data hasn't been uploaded or loaded, they naturally wouldn't know what to do. Really... my apologies!"
Outside, Li Yue, standing on the high platform, suddenly slapped his head and let out a chuckle.
The crowd below burst into laughter; it was rare to see three people of status making a fool of themselves here.
Presumably, tomorrow's news won't lack material to write about.
"Alright, since the game hasn't launched yet and much data hasn't been loaded, the test concludes here for now. After all, our press conference time is limited!"
Li Yue said, calling out to Noah: "Noah, 'kick out' these three 'idiots'!"
"Haha!"
Another round of laughter followed.
"I believe that through the experience of the three guests, you have also seen the difference in the virtual world. Although it cannot achieve 100% simulation of reality, a simulation degree of ninety-seven percent is already sufficient!"
"In the virtual network and virtual world, you will feel pain, feel hunger, feel excitement..."
"Calm, sincere, happy, joyful..."
"Whether it's emotions or psychology, they will be perfectly simulated in the virtual world, even including your hormonal responses!"
Another wave of laughter swept through the audience, especially among the men, who all understood what that meant.
"However, in the virtual world, we have restricted such behavior; all sexual acts cannot be completed. After all, I don't want this place to become the world's largest red-light district in the future!"
"Guys, if you want to pick up girls, better accept reality!"
The laughter continued, and amidst Li Yue's teasing humor, the three guest testers also woke up.
"Ugh!"
The three guests woke up from their recliners. The first thing they did upon waking was take off their helmets and dry-heave repeatedly with their heads down.
"How do you feel? Mr. Callant!"
Li Yue walked forward and handed each of the three a glass of water.
"It was great, but taking off the helmet was too uncomfortable. That feeling was like being on a roller coaster for an hour! You know, I get motion sickness!"
"Haha!" Li Yue chuckled, "Mr. Callant, that's because it's your first time using it. I was worse off than you at the beginning, throwing up everywhere! You're just dry-heaving a few times now, much better than I was back then!"
"Really?"
"Of course, it's true. Because of the consciousness link, when you go offline, the massive amount of information the brain receives is cut off, and it takes a moment to adjust, so you feel dizzy and dry-heave! It's much better the second time, and after more times, you won't even feel anything and will even fall in love with it."
"Of course, I've already fallen in love with it now. But Mr. Li Yue,
I'd like to ask if you could get me an Angel race in the world of Myth? I love this game too much; it's golden, handsome, and gentle. Oh, it's too charming. Believe me, our Oracle will definitely be able to help!"
"Wow! Mr. Callant, can I assume you're hinting at something?" Li Yue smiled playfully. "You know, this is a global live broadcast right now. Mr. Callant's open and honest behavior has just been exposed!"
"Haha!"
Laughter erupted from the audience. Everyone looked at him with teasing eyes, watching his face turn a little red.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Callant, even if you didn't say anything, I would still provide you with such an opportunity!"
"Giving it to you directly would go against the game's main program, so when the game officially launches, I will have Noah issue you a racial quest scroll for the Angel race!"
"To become the hidden Angel race, you will still need to complete a quest!"
"No problem!" Callant was immediately thrilled upon hearing this.
Completing a quest was a trivial matter for a big shot like him.
"Gentlemen, you've all worked hard. Thank you very much for your help this time. If you need anything in the future, you can contact Lawrence; he will be in charge of assisting you!"
Upon hearing this, the people in the audience felt envious.
Help from the Noah Group was too appealing.
Now, anyone with foresight knew that the Noah Group would definitely become a giant of its generation. Gaining the friendship of such a new giant was undoubtedly something countless people longed for.
If they had known earlier, they would have rushed to experience it immediately.
After the three guests had left the stage, Li Yue clapped his hands together.
"Alright!"
"Now, I believe everyone, including the global audience, has a more intuitive understanding of virtual games and virtual networks!"
"The virtual world, you could say, is our second world of the future, just like in 'The Matrix.'"
"In the future, many new projects will be added to this platform: virtual Earth, virtual games, virtual otherworlds..."
"Everything you can imagine, and everything you cannot imagine, can be presented within the virtual network."
"At that time, you can put on a helmet and experience all sorts of almost real games, entering various virtual worlds you can and cannot think of: ancient, modern, mythical, futuristic..."
Li Yue stood on the high platform, his eyes gentle, looking down. At this moment, he felt a sense of commanding the world.
"Technology leads the era, technology changes the future. Here I announce that the virtual helmet and virtual nutrient pod will be released nationwide in the United States in three days."
"Other regions, don't worry. In one month, this epoch-making product will be simultaneously released in one hundred and twenty-seven countries worldwide. To this end, our Noah Group would like to specifically thank IBM, Microsoft, Google, Osborn, and Stark. Thank you for providing production lines, hardware equipment, and a large amount of human resources! Without their support, we would not have been able to distribute the goods globally in the shortest possible time. Thank you again!"
"As for the prices of the virtual helmet and virtual nutrient pod, after our most professional assessment and planning, and having greatly compressed profits, they have been set at a reasonable price to ensure that the majority of people worldwide can enjoy them!"
"Helmet price: $2199!"
"The nutrient pod is a bit more expensive, but it's more comfortable to use and provides a stronger sense of immersion. Price: $19888!"
"Regarding quality, everyone can rest assured. The Noah Group guarantees that any non-man-made damage within thirty years can be exchanged for a new helmet free of charge at major specialty stores worldwide!"
"Alright, it's getting late. The press conference will end here. There are still some song and dance performances below, feel free to relax and enjoy them!"
"After the event concludes, there will be a dinner party, and everyone is welcome to attend!"
At this point, everything was over. Li Yue didn't waste any more words; he had said everything that needed to be said, and there was no need to stay here any longer.
Looking at the bustling crowd below, his expression remained unchanged. With a smile, he stepped back.
