He had finally succeeded...
Chen Chen stared blankly at the object of his dreams in his hand.
Although there were many twists and turns along the way, in the end, he had finally achieved his goal.
Looking at the permanent immunity shot in his hand, Chen Chen fell into a trance for the first time after taking NZT-48.
Although it had only been half a year since he obtained the USB drive, to Chen Chen, it had been an eternity, to the point where it felt surreal.
"However, from today onwards, I've finally gotten rid of the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head..."
Chen Chen murmured. He gently twisted the safety valve and placed the needleless syringe on the vein in his neck.
Toxicology tests, animal experiments, all of it could go to hell.
"Hiss!"
Without any hesitation, the needleless syringe sprayed the drug at high pressure. It instantly penetrated Chen Chen's skin and was injected into his vein.
A cold sensation spread from Chen Chen's neck, then flowed along his blood into his heart, then from his heart to his brain...
The moment the cool sensation flowed into his brain, Chen Chen felt his mind clear up. The dull pain in his head immediately disappeared.
"Phew!"
Chen Chen raised his head and exhaled. He could clearly feel that this drug seemed to have opened up a barrier in his brain, protecting his brain from being eroded by the drug.
In other words, from this moment on, Chen Chen would no longer wake up in the morning with a splitting headache due to the side effects. He would also no longer suffer from toxicological reactions due to the sequelae or even die from shock one day.
Chen Chen was completely free from the shackles of the drug. NZT-48 was no longer a double-edged sword that hurt the enemy and himself first. Instead, it was a divine weapon that could cut through all obstacles!
Chen Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He looked at the USB drive again, only to find that the USB drive had become a lot older, but it was not as broken as before.
"I can still instantiate it again?"
Chen Chen's eyes lit up.
This time, he really had to make a good choice.
With this in mind, Chen Chen silently pondered for a moment.
He still remembered reading a report called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs when he was in junior high school. In it, human needs were divided into five levels. From low to high, they were: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs.
If this was applied to Chen Chen, before Chen Chen obtained the immunity shot, he would always be on the second level of safety requirements.
However, now that the safety requirement had been resolved, the level of Chen Chen's requirements had naturally been upgraded to the level of respect and self-actualization.
In other words, he started to care about money, status, dreams and so on.
Of course, superpowers were also a good choice. Although they could not be used to show off, it was still good to keep them for self-defense.
There was an old saying in Mainland China that Chen Chen liked very much:
Possessing the art of killing, he had an air of arrogance.
However, looking at the wear and tear of the USB drive, there was only one more chance to instantiate it.
A smart person would naturally turn this chance into ten or even a hundred chances in the future.
With this in mind, Chen Chen took out a book and wrote down two options on it.
"Chronicle, Player One."
These were the two movies that Chen Chen was currently considering for his next step.
Chronicle was a movie based purely on reality. Other than the three protagonists, there were no supernatural powers in this world.
However, just like Chen Chen's previous concerns, he was not sure if his body would collapse due to the radiation of the crystal after obtaining superpowers. He was also not sure if his mind would also be affected by the improvement of superpowers.
After all, the word "Chronicle" itself was ominous.
This was the risk side.
The upside was that Chen Chen could go to Macau or even Las Vegas. With his superpowers, he could win tens of millions in a night. Even if he could not go there often, it was still an extremely fast way to make money.
Many people believed that if they won too much money in the casino, they would be intercepted and killed by people arranged by the mafia. This was not exactly wrong, but it was also not exactly correct.
In reality, casinos were not much different from ordinary shops. They also had a problem of credibility. Under the bright lights, there would be a large number of gamblers who won money every night. There were also many who became rich overnight. This in itself was a form of advertising for the casino.
If everyone was robbed or killed just because they won tens of millions in the casino, then the casino would not be able to operate for long.
However, as mentioned above, it was fine if you won once or twice, but if you could win tens of millions every night, then it would be a different story.
The sewers of the slums in Las Vegas were filled with rotting corpses every day.
The other option was one that Chen Chen had thought about for a long time.
"Ready Player One" is from a movie in 2018 — — —
In 2040, due to the Third World War, the real world was devastated and despairing. Human civilization was in a state of semi-wasteland until a genius named James Halliday appeared.
He created a virtual reality game called Oasis. People only needed to put on VR equipment to enter this virtual world that was a stark contrast to reality.
In the virtual world, there were bustling cities and players of all shapes and sizes. Even if you were a loser struggling in the slums in reality, you could still become a hero in 'Oasis'. No matter how distant your dreams were, they were still within reach.
This was the story outline of Player One.
Simply put, this was a story about the future of video games. It was equivalent to the movie version of an online novel in Mainland China.
By wearing a pair of VR goggles, one could travel infinitely in this virtual world.
If Chen Chen could instantiate the device of the game into reality, what would happen?
First of all, the holographic technology in the movie used a kind of retinal projection technology. It projected light onto the human retina to form a three-dimensional image.
Moreover, a series of graphics technologies such as dynamic rendering, particle rendering, halo, real-time calculation, and so on were all at the level of being able to pass off as the real thing.
Moreover, according to the presentation in the movie, although the world in the movie was twenty years older than reality, due to the World War, technology did not advance much.
This also meant that the technological level of Oasis was not far off from reality.
For example, there was no telekinesis technology in the movie. Playing the game still required touch devices and motion capture devices to complete the task.
In Chen Chen's opinion, the technological level of the game Oasis was probably only one generation ahead of reality.
This was not too far away. This also meant that it would not be difficult for Chen Chen to fully understand the technology involved.
The real world was about ten to fifteen years away from the emergence of such a game. If Chen Chen were to take the first step and release a VR game of the same level, what would happen?
It was foreseeable that this would inevitably lead to a drastic reshuffle of the global technology and game industry.
At the same time, it would also represent a huge fortune worth hundreds of billions!
Of course, it was not practical to directly release the complete game and technology. Instead, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, Chen Chen could also toss out some of the programs and algorithms and even some of the minor details to pave the way. After three to five years, he would then release a full-fledged game.
Coincidentally, Chen Chen had a similar pave in his hands – the real-time translation app that he was halfway through developing.
If he could integrate the artificial intelligence of Oasis into the app he designed, would it result in some kind of revolutionary change?
With this in mind, Chen Chen had already made a decision.
Just like when he first took NZT-48, Chen Chen would first conduct experiments.
Although superpowers were more attractive to Chen Chen, if he could first obtain enough money to build a laboratory, then he could research the safety of superpowers.
