7: 40 pm.
Xia Qianduo and Yang Xiling hurriedly walked out of a hot pot restaurant.
Yang Xiling had paid for this hot pot, and it cost a total of two hundred yuan.
If it were a normal date, the man would have rushed to pay for this meal as long as he wasn't that broke.
Xia Qianduo wasn't an ordinary person. Even though Yang Xiling had already treated him to coffee last time, he really didn't have the concept of who had to pay for this meal.
Two hundred yuan, wasn't it the same no matter who paid for this small amount of money?
After exiting the hot pot restaurant, Yang Xiling subconsciously looked at the time on her mobile phone. "Have you booked a room? We should finish eating early, it's already 7: 40 pm."
"I've booked it, I've booked it." This ambiguous sentence made Xia Qianduo feel complacent. "I booked a room at Qian Gui, it's only two hundred meters away from us."
"That's good." Yang Xiling glanced at the pedestrians on the road. "Don't drive, let's hurry over."
Qian Gui was a national chain KTV, and the price was very affordable. However, the mainstream trend of domestic KTV was now declining. Although it was true that young people loved to sing as much as they did in the 80s and 90s, singing was no longer the only choice for entertainment.
The two walked quickly to Qian Gui's door and found that the business of this KTV was really booming tonight.
There was a lot of people in the hall, and the front desk was even more crowded.
It was easy to guess why there were so many people. When Xia Qianduo and Yang Xiling came in, they found that nearly a quarter of the guests were wearing the familiar holographic glasses.
These people were almost all fashionable young men and women, and they gathered in small groups. Often, only one person in a small group was wearing holographic glasses.
And this person was also the leader of the small group.
The hall was chaotic, and many people were complaining.
"I told you to book a room early, but you're not in a hurry?" A young girl kept scolding her boyfriend. "What do you think we should do now? You're the only one who got the experience card, and it's almost eight o 'clock, where are we going to find a private room?"
Behind the girl stood two girls with disappointed expressions. It seemed that they planned to book a room here and then take turns to experience the holographic glasses.
This wasn't impossible.
Although the holographic glasses were set with iris binding, the user could freely decide whether to turn on the privacy mode.
Once the privacy mode was turned on, the iris authentication would be performed at all times. Other people wearing the holographic glasses would not be able to see anything.
Not turned on. The authentication would only be activated when the glasses were activated when the payment was made and when the glasses were activated.
It was the same for the experiential holographic glasses. Now, the sales department of Monster Industries wanted users to share the holographic glasses with their friends.
The deposit of 8,600 yuan had already been accepted, and the users could do whatever they wanted.
The girl's boyfriend was scolded for a long time. In the end, he couldn't help but blush and say, "Then … why don't we go to a hotel and get a room? I know a Greene Haotai nearby … "
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!"
A man and three women hurriedly ran to get the real room.
Only then did the small group of people who didn't manage to book a private room wake up from their daze. One by one, they ran outside in annoyance.
"Our room is on the third floor." Xia Qianduo secretly pinched himself, but he put on a smug smile that said, "Fortunately, I was smart enough to open a private room early."
…
The private room was already opened before the two of them ate. There were snacks and fruit platters on the coffee table, as well as a few bottles of juice.
After entering the private room, Yang Xiling, who was originally lively, became shy at this moment.
After all, the two of them were not too close friends. She was a little embarrassed to come to a room where only she and Xia Qianduo were alone.
Xia Qianduo couldn't detect the delicate thoughts of these girls. He looked at the time and saw that it was five minutes to eight o 'clock. He quickly pulled out a silver-gray hard plastic box from his backpack.
This box was slightly smaller than the cake box by two sizes. The front of the box was printed with the monster logo of Monster Industries. After opening it, a pair of gloves that looked very similar to the Primordial Spirit set appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is …" Yang Xiling was instantly attracted by this pair of gloves. She had also seen pictures of the Primordial Spirit gloves on the Internet, but it seemed to be a little different from the ones in front of her.
Of course ~
This was the perfect version of the Primordial Spirit gloves worth 42,000 yuan. Whether it was function or appearance, it was a lot better than the basic version that cost more than 6,000 yuan.
Xia Qianduo took out two fully charged gloves. "Do you want the left hand or the right hand?"
"The left hand." Yang Xiling chose the inconvenient left hand. After all, it was someone else's. The time was almost up. At this moment, she didn't care about her embarrassment. She took the gloves and hurriedly put them on.
When the two of them put on the holographic glasses, a portal exuding a colorful brilliance had already appeared in front of them.
The portal was about three meters high and printed with the quaint words [National Entertainment].
Now that the holographic glasses were in outdoor mode, they could see the portal and the environment in the private room. Taking advantage of the two minutes left, Xia Qianduo hurriedly explained the precautions.
"We only have the Primordial Spirit gloves now. In fact, to participate in this kind of activity, we can run freely with a universal treadmill or a full-posture simulator."
"Without these, we will use the direction simulation function to move forward and backward by turning around and stepping on the spot. We won't notice that we hit the coffee table in the private room."
Yang Xiling, who was wearing the holographic glasses, was very nervous. A portal suddenly appeared in the private room. Reason told her that this portal was only virtual, but when she looked at it with her eyes, the portal was covered with complicated patterns, and the edges spread out a colorful brilliance like a spider web.
The engraved words above were like jade, and inside the portal was a dark void space.
It seemed that as long as they took a step, they would immediately be separated from the real world.
"I … am ready." Yang Xiling took a deep breath.
"Okay, let's go together." Xia Qianduo came to Yang Xiling's left.
One step away, the world changed.
When the two of them passed through the portal, the image of the real world was fragmented and turned into spots of white light. After the white light passed, Xia Qianduo and Yang Xiling opened their eyes at the same time.
The world was sunny, with blue seas and blue skies.
Yes, the two of them saw the sea in the distance and saw quaint bluestones under their feet.
However, before they could distinguish between north, south, east, and west, their ears were like a chat room with tens of thousands of people turning on the global speech mode.
There was a noisy noise, and the sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh ~" as if they were teleporting instantly.
Xia Qianduo looked behind him and almost saw through his own disguise.
People.
It was densely packed with people.
It was impossible to describe the number of people. In the virtual world, Xia Qianduo, whose height was set at 1.85 meters, could not see the end of any people behind him at all.
It might not be accurate to use humans to describe it …
This was because there were many people around Xia Qianduo who were not fully human, but could only be regarded as humanoid creatures.
There were guys wearing ancient robes and carrying long swords on their backs. There was also a cartoon girl in a silk dress with colorful hair and eyes that occupied a quarter of her face. There were also cartoon boys and girls who were less than 1.4 meters tall and looked like they would be stepped on at any time …
If they were all cartoon characters who looked either cool or cute, it would be fine.
The key was that Xia Qianduo glanced over and was surprised to find that there were some rare monsters mixed in with the colorful crowd.
There were guys with green skin and tails like Avatar, orcs with purplish bodies and fangs at the corners of their mouths, and demons with a height of 1.9 meters and a non-human head …
Unsurprisingly, the next moment, Xia Qianduo heard a scream beside him.
It was Yang Xiling's voice. Xia Qianduo quickly turned his face and saw a beautiful cartoon girl with a red ponytail, standing in place and shivering.
Everyone, including Xia Qianduo, did not look real.
To participate in this event, one needed to register with the holographic glasses. The registration was very simple, just a statement of compliance with the rules of the event.
After confirming the statement, the system would give the function of creating a character.
There was a fun part here. The audience who signed up with the experience card could only create cartoon characters. This character could be based on their preferences or a cartoon character similar to themselves based on their own photos.
But if users had already purchased holographic glasses, they could choose an additional non-human model.
Xia Qianduo knew this. His main task this time was to accompany Yang Xiling, so he only created a free character.
But he obviously underestimated the restless mood of those grumpy old friends who already had glasses.
Look, look ~
What were these users doing? It was like a group of demons dancing around.
There was a red-skinned monster standing next to Yang Xiling. Even if to prevent people from being too frightened, all the monsters had been treated with cartoons. But when an ugly non-human suddenly appeared next to her, Yang Xiling still hated that she couldn't even breathe eight feet away from them.
Xia Qianduo was about to intervene and separate Yang Xiling from the cartoon monster, but before he could do anything, his right hand was firmly held by someone.
The person who held his hand was Yang Xiling.
"So … so scary." Yang Xiling showed a shocked expression.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." At this moment, Xia Qianduo wished that he could kiss the monster.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you two hold hands here?" The red-skinned monster shamelessly leaned his head over. "What the hell, why can't my hands move?"
"Because you only have glasses, and we still have primordial spirit gloves." Xia Qianduo took a step forward to block the red-skinned monster, and said in a disdainful tone, "Stay away from us, you look too ugly."
"Ugly?"
"Brother, you can't speak against your conscience just to protect your girlfriend. My rare appearance took me a whole two hours." The red-skinned monster snorted. There was another red-skinned monster not far away, so he hurried over to communicate.
The red-skinned monster left, and Yang Xiling let go of Xia Qianduo's right hand with lingering fear. She hid behind Xia Qianduo and kept looking into the distance.
