"Achoo!"
Taking off the helmet, Jiang Chen sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered.
"Who's cursing me?"
He just logged into Godly Land and personally experienced the virtual reality MMORPG designed by Future Technology.
In high school and university, Jiang Chen was like most students, half an "internet addict." Because he didn't have a girlfriend, he often played games with his roommates when he didn't have class. At that time, he fantasized that if he was fortunate enough to see the virtual reality MMORPG described in novels, what would it be like? He also fantasized that he would be like the main character in the novel, meet a special NPC, change to the only hidden profession in the entire server, defeat the tall, rich, and handsome, win over the beautiful, and become a winner in life …
But he quickly realized that it was only a fantasy since whether it was the tall, rich, or beautiful, they didn't need to seek a sense of existence in the game.
Unless it was the extremely lonely kind.
But after fantasizing about so many futures, the only thing he didn't expect was that this era-defining MMORPG was created by him. At the same time, he opened a new page in the history of virtual reality.
But standing in his current position, he didn't seem to have much interest in playing games anymore.
However, he still created a Knight account and strolled around in his game. Looking at the bustling crowd and the excitement on their faces for the new world, it could be considered as fulfilling a dream of the past.
After he went offline, Jiang Chen put the helmet aside and opened a webpage on the computer.
Just like he expected, the internet was flooded with the words "Future Technology" and "Godly Land." From the start of the server, the media had high expectations for this era-defining MMORPG, and the popularity of the first day of the server didn't surprise him much. It only fulfilled the myth he described to the media and made the crown on Future Technology's head come true.
Jiang Chen opened an internationally renowned gaming forum and saw the name "Godly Land" was at the top of the list.
"God, I've never seen such a realistic game! Goodbye G Fat, steam has been removed from my hard drive. I don't think I'll be interested in the small games on consoles and PC for a while. "
"Unbelievable, the real feeling of transmigration, it's like I've transmigrated to another world!"
"Negative! You can't create a female account. Go to hell with the gender recognition function! "
"Are the NPCs inside artificial intelligence? I heard that there will be a Harmony Patch in the future. Will we be able to push down those NPCs? I seem to have fallen in love with the Newbie Guide. XD”
"It seems that lifting a girl's skirt will get you locked up in a small black room. Who knows how long you'll be locked up! It's urgent. "
"…"
After reading the above comments, Jiang Chen's mouth curled up.
The market gave a very high rating for the game. As a result, there was no need to make any major adjustments to the production of the helmets. Based on the popularity of the market, it wouldn't be a problem to produce another 100 million helmets.
However, in order to ensure that the market would not be oversaturated and suffer from indigestion, it was better to limit the monthly shipments to 20 million units.
…
These days, Jiang Chen maintained a nine-to-five schedule and appeared in the office on the top floor of Future Group's headquarters. Most of the time, he didn't go to work. He just made a general deployment of the company's development, and then every once in a while, like a supervisor, he would call the managers of each department to his office to ask questions. This kind of regular routine was quite new to Jiang Chen.
But with the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this fresh and short period of time also came to an end.
Last year, due to various reasons, Jiang Chen couldn't spend the New Year with his parents in China. Instead, he spent the New Year in the apocalypse. But now that his parents were by his side, he didn't have as many troubles as last year. Naturally, he wouldn't give up the opportunity to spend the New Year with his parents.
Although it might make them feel a little regretful, Jiang Chen still planned to spend the New Year in the modern world.
When it came to the New Year, Ayesha even made a joke. Because she misunderstood "New Year" as "Han's Christmas," in order to give Jiang Chen a surprise, the little girl took advantage of Jiang Chen's absence and filled the house with Christmas trees, ribbons, and bells. She also put on a red skirt and dressed up as a Christmas girl.
Later, it was Xia Shiyu who corrected her mistake and helped her pack up the trinkets, restoring the house to the original look of the New Year. Xia Shiyu also taught her that New Year was usually spent at one's parents' house, not one's own house.
On the night of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Chen took Ayesha to his parents' house.
Because they lived close by, he would occasionally come here with Ayesha to have dinner with his parents. Therefore, he had a key to his parents' mansion. After he parked the car in the garage, he held Ayesha's hand and entered the house.
When Jiang Chen walked into the house, his parents were preparing New Year's dinner.
The nanny responsible for taking care of the two elders was also on leave, so only the two of them were home.
In the beginning, Jiang Chen's idea was to hire a chef to cook New Year's dinner. But based on Mrs. Jiang's words, it was better to cook New Year's dinner by hand. Therefore, he followed his parents' wishes and helped them prepare a table of sumptuous New Year's dinner.
Life in Xin was great, but there were fewer relatives and friends. There were no firecrackers, and it would never snow.
As for the Spring Festival Gala in previous years, there was still one here. Xin could also watch Han's TV station, but this year, just like last year, the Spring Festival Gala was full of negative comments. But no one cared about the content of the Spring Festival Gala. At this moment, the most important thing was not what the Spring Festival Gala was broadcasting, but who they were watching it with.
During the second half of the New Year's Eve dinner, someone knocked on the door.
When Jiang Chen opened the door, he was surprised to see Xia Shiyu with a bag of gifts in her hands. She stood at the door cautiously.
When her eyes met Jiang Chen's, she subtly looked away.
The faint blush on her cheeks wasn't sure if it was the blush of light makeup or the joy of celebrating the new year.
"Yes, mom asked me to come … New Year's greetings," she whispered at the door.
"You are Old Xia's daughter. Haha, don't be so polite. Come in!" Before Jiang Chen could speak, his dad's loud voice rang out.
It was rare to meet someone from the same hometown in a foreign country. Ever since Xia Shiyu moved here, the two families were especially close and often visited each other. The Xia family's elder and Jiang Jianguo were fishing friends. When the weather was good, the two often went out on a boat. Because of this, Jiang Chen's family's dinner table was filled with the familiar smell of seafood every day.
Occasionally, Jiang Chen would bring a few fish to the apocalypse to taste the seafood with them.
Mrs. Jiang enthusiastically pulled Xia Shiyu to the table and frequently put food in her bowl. Although she repeatedly said she already ate, she couldn't resist Mrs. Jiang's enthusiasm and still took a few bites. To his dad's ambiguous look, Jiang Chen forced a smile and pretended he didn't see it.
The kiss at the annual celebration seemed to have left a huge impact on Xia Shiyu. Her attitude toward him had been subtle these days. Although she wasn't avoiding him, Jiang Chen always felt that she didn't know how to face him.
But in the atmosphere of the new year, the inexperienced awkwardness quickly dissipated in the festive atmosphere.
The New Year's dinner dragged on until 12 o 'clock. Jiang Jianguo, who drank a little, was already sleeping soundly on the sofa.
While Xia Shiyu went to the bathroom, Mrs. Jiang secretly pulled Jiang Chen to the side. She looked at her son with an interrogative gaze. "Why do I feel … there is something wrong between you and Xia Shiyu? Why don't you tell me who's going to be our family's future daughter-in-law? I don't care how much money you make outside, but when are you going to let me hold a grandson? "
Faced with his mother's interrogation, Jiang Chen stuttered for a long time as he didn't know how to answer the complicated question. In the end, it was the understanding Ayesha who helped him out.
For him, the question was really hard to answer.
Not to mention the uncertain factors in the modern world, there were still a few in the apocalypse …
But one thing was for sure. If mom really wanted to hold a grandson, her hands would be tired.
