Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.
Virtual reality technology research center.
Duan Siqi, who had just finished his experiment, took off the helmet on his head and sighed in relief.
One second, he was walking through a hail of bullets in The Matrix, and the next second, he was back in the slow-paced, peaceful world. Even though this feeling of traveling through time and space was difficult to describe, the boundary between reality and reality was still very clear. Because of his work, he often participated in experiments, so he was quite careful to distinguish between reality and reality.
Only in the real world could one feel the flow of air, could one obtain satisfaction from food, and could one feel that the world was complete. Humans were living beings and not tools.
However, with the continuous upgrade of the Phantom system, this function seemed to be getting better and better. Now, they could taste the four basic tastes of food in the virtual reality world: sweet, bitter, salty, and spicy. Even though this feeling was only obvious after the first two bites, the boundary between reality and illusion seemed to be getting blurrier and blurrier.
His score was written on the screen next to him.
21,111 points!
First place without a doubt.
"21,111 points! Completed all the side quests … Amazing! Bro. "
An older white-collar worker was sitting on the bed next to him. He looked like he worked in an IT company, and he looked surprised when he saw the number on the screen.
This score was already twice as high as his.
No wonder this guy was able to stand out in the last experiment and win the 100,000 yuan prize.
The man had an envious look on his face.
"It's okay," Duan Siqi smiled and threw the helmet aside. He said, "Let's go eat in the cafeteria."
Points were actually pretty useless.
So far, Star Sky Technology had only given them a reward for clearing a level once, which was the 100,000 yuan reward. Most of the time, as long as they completed the experiment step by step, regardless of the mission evaluation, they would be able to smoothly advance to the next level.
Coincidentally, because of the "Calan Empire" game, Duan Siqi was tempted by the 100,000 yuan prize, so he tried to put in a serious attitude. He carefully studied every detail of the entire level, and he finally won the 100,000 yuan prize.
It was also at that time that he, who had always been defeated by his roommates in mathematics, finally enjoyed the envy and admiration of others. He became the top player in the eyes of countless beta testers.
Although in the beginning, he was only doing the "Master God Project" as a part-time job, he suddenly looked forward to the day when the Phantom system would be open beta.
Duan Siqi came to the cafeteria with the white-collar worker who participated in the Master God Plan. He filled his plate with food and sat down at the table.
Not long after he sat down, the guy sitting across from him, who had a good relationship with him, started to talk to him with a smile.
"I heard that people from Penguin Company came yesterday."
"Penguin?" Duan Siqi frowned and asked, "What are they doing here?"
"It's said that he's here to study, but I think he's here to discuss the platform's authorization."
"Platform authorization … Looks like the day when the system goes live is getting closer."
"Do you think we still need to come here when the open beta starts?" The white-collared worker said with a worried expression.
Honestly, he quite liked this part-time job.
He only had to come here two days a week, and his job was to test the game. He could get a subsidy of two to three thousand yuan. He didn't even have to write his own reviews, the system's AI would automatically generate them … At least that was what the researchers at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study told them.
If the Phantom system went into open beta, would closed beta testers still be needed?
Although this day would come sooner or later, thinking that this part-time job might be gone in the future, this man couldn't help but have a regretful expression on his face.
"I don't know, maybe we do, maybe we don't …" Duan Siqi shook his head and said, "Who cares, Star Sky Technology signed a two-year contract with us, it should be useful."
Not to mention …
Even if the employment relationship ended.
He felt like with his familiarity with the Phantom system and his extracurricular knowledge, he could make a name for himself in the industry …
After eating, Duan Siqi returned to the laboratory.
He was about to pack his things and go back to his dorm at Jin Ling University when the laboratory door was suddenly pushed open. A researcher in a white coat walked in.
"I have good news to announce to everyone." The researcher had a warm smile on his face as he said, "You might have already heard, but thanks to everyone's tireless testing, the first batch of virtual reality helmets with neural demodulators will be released soon! We can't reveal the exact release date and price for now, but we'll give everyone a copy when the time comes as a form of thanks for everyone's support for our experiments! "
Clap clap clap.
There was an excited applause in the laboratory.
Although this meant that their mission was about to come to an end, many of them were still quite happy to see that their work had finally reflected the meaning and value of their work.
Also, this kind of helmet wouldn't be cheap.
If Star Sky Technology was going to give them one for free, what could be more exciting than this?
The researcher smiled and continued to speak.
"In addition, the first game in the Phantom system will be based on the Calan Empire. After adjusting the worldview, the game will be released as an open world with a higher degree of freedom. It will show you the plot of 50 years after the Oracle crisis. I don't know if you guys remember this game, but I'm looking forward to it. "
Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke with a smile.
"I remember it very well! I died at least 20 times in the first level. "
There was a burst of laughter in the laboratory.
That game really left a deep impression on everyone.
They were stuck for half a month, and the number of times they died in there was almost more than the total number of times they died in the other games.
"I'm looking forward to it! I want to know what happens next. "
"I don't know if the game will be as difficult after it's transformed into an open world."
Researcher: "That's hard to say. The focus of the plot will move from the Ring World to the distant planets on the border of the Empire. I don't know the specifics, but the Calan Empire project is top secret."
A player smiled and said, "I know, but you can't tell us, right?"
The researcher smiled and nodded.
"Smart! But I really don't know. "
The Phantom system was about to open beta!
Because of this sudden news, the laboratory suddenly became lively.
Almost everyone was discussing this matter excitedly until the end of the event.
An open world completely generated by AI …
They didn't know what the other world would be like.
Duan Siqi listened to the other players and couldn't help but have a look of fascination on his face.
Perhaps it was his illusion, or perhaps it was because the world there was too lifelike, so much so that he sometimes couldn't help but wonder if this world had once existed in some corner of the universe …
