Holographic Helmet
Everyone held their breath. The host paused for a moment and said, "After holographic, Mystical Gaming will fully develop the competition section. Players are encouraged to form their own forces and teams, and there will be regular team battles with high prize money. Starting from 8 PM tomorrow, Mystical Gaming will open the team registration channel. On the xx Sunday of the next year, two months later, Mystical Gaming will bring you the first holographic game competition. Let's wait and see! This news will be released on the official Mystical Gaming News Network in two hours. Thank you to all the viewers and Mystical Gaming players for your support. Thank you to our guests, Merciless Shang Huo, Shishui, Goben … "
Once this explosive news came out, the entire Mystical Gaming world was in an uproar! After all, Mystical Gaming was only an online game in the past. Even if there was an official cross-server competition venue in the game, and there were gurus like Merciless Shang Huo explaining PK tactics on the Feiyou website, it was only a private "folk" activity. However, once the competition was held by the officials, the nature was completely different — Mystical Gaming was no longer just a game. It would open up a new career path for many game lovers!
For a moment, countless players were spreading the news of the Mystical Gaming Competition online and offline. The official website also released this news two hours later. The prize money for the first competition was as high as 500,000!
In this era where online competitive games were popular, 500,000 might not be a lot, but for a student like He Jin who had no income, 500,000 was an astronomical figure!
However, no matter whether it was an astronomical figure or not, He Jin felt that this competition had nothing to do with him.
When he went online at night, Shang Huo talked to him about the interview in the game. "Did you watch the interview?"
Xiao Xian Ah Jin: "I did. I feel that the holographic game will change a lot … Oh right, you will be participating in that competition, right?"
Shang Huo: "Yup, the officials sent me an invitation letter. The reason they pulled us over for this interview is to release this news, and also to advertise for Godfiend Hologram."
He Jin thought about it and agreed. There were tens of millions of Mystical Gaming players. A guru who was playing online would definitely have an extraordinary appeal.
Xiao Xian Ah Jin: "Good luck!"
Shang Huo: "You are the one who needs to do your best."
He Jin was stunned. What did he mean?
Shang Huo seemed to know that he was confused and said directly, "I want to form a team. You can participate too."
He Jin was shocked and quickly replied, "I can't! How long have I been playing? "
Over the past half a month, every time He Jin logged in, Shang Huo would help him level up. Even if He Jin was not online, Shang Huo would still find time to help him level up. He Jin's Spiritual Pet was already at Level 9, but his experience in fighting in the wild was almost zero. He had only followed Shishui and the others into the Exorcist Instance Dungeon once, and he had even used the identity of a Rice Worm … If he joined them, he would only be a burden!
Most importantly, he couldn't even afford a holographic helmet!
During the interview during the day, the price of the holographic helmet was also released. Currently, the official website price was 8,880 yuan, and the full price after the holographic helmet was 10880 yuan.
Over the past ten years, the cost of living had increased. He Jin's monthly expenses at Huaxia University amounted to about two to three thousand dollars. Excluding the monthly expenses that he reported to his mom, the rest of the miscellaneous expenses added up to only a little over a thousand dollars … He Jin's previous resume was rejected as expected. No matter how good his grades were, no matter how high his GPA was, he couldn't do anything about it if his major wasn't suitable for him. And with his own major, it would be difficult to find a job before he graduated.
He Jin didn't tell Shang Huo about the real world. He just found an excuse and said, "I'm just a Spirit Pet, what can I do?"
Shang Huo: "I've found out about the details of the competition through internal channels. I heard that one of the rounds is a battle between Spirit Pets, and the other is between the owner and the pet. It's two versus two."
He Jin: "…" Where was the integrity of this game?!
Shang Huo started to play the warm card. "I hope you can participate with me."
He Jin: "…" He suddenly felt that it was hard to refuse.
Shang Huo sighed and said desolately, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Think about it. The registration closes at the end of next month."
Helmet helmet helmet, money money money money money!
After He Jin went offline, he curled up in his bed and thought gloomily, why didn't he save more money? He remembered when he was in his first year of university, He Jin went to tutor English for middle school students. He earned four to five thousand dollars in half a year, but he stupidly put it all on his account and gave it to his mom. Once, he saw someone doing hip-hop and thought it was very cool. The tuition fee was only two thousand dollars. He told his mom that he wanted to learn, but she rejected him without a second thought!
At that time, he thought that if he hadn't given the money he earned as a tutor to his mom, he might have secretly gone to learn.
Now, this feeling was even more obvious. He Jin didn't need to call her to know that his mom would definitely not agree — without financial independence, he would never be able to obtain true freedom.
He Jin tossed and turned for several days over the money issue. Just as he was at his wits' end, which was the day before the Mythical Holographic Helmet, he received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, I am a staff member of Mythical Gaming Company. Are you Mr. He Jin?" It was a polite male voice on the other side of the phone.
He Jin was stunned. "I am."
Staff member: "Did you fill in the information for the Mythical Holographic Helmet a month ago?"
He Jin: "Yes …"
Hearing this, He Jin's brain was already racing. Amidst the echoes of "What the f * ck" and "I can't be that lucky, can I?", he heard the staff member say, "Congratulations on being one of the lucky ones to have won the Holographic Helmet. You will receive a collectible game helmet from the Mythical Gaming Company for free. I will inform you when you will receive the real information and the helmet's delivery address …"
He Jin's entire body froze. This news was even more shocking than when he received a call from Huaxia University's admissions office two and a half years ago, congratulating him on getting into Huaxia University!
After verifying the information, He Jin was stunned for a long time. He felt like he was dreaming — how did he get the helmet!
That night, Shang Huo had a live broadcast, so He Jin didn't go online. The next day, the delivery man called and asked him to sign for a package. Then, he placed a soft-shelled package the size of a soccer ball in his hands. He Jin's anxiety slowly dissipated — the joy of winning the big prize surged!
He Jin ran back to the dormitory and presented it to Hou Dongyan as if he was presenting a treasure. "Monkey, look!"
Hou Dongyan's reaction was even more exaggerated. He hugged He Jin's helmet and roared in the dormitory, "Ow ~ Ow ~ Ow ~ What kind of dogsh * t luck is this!"
He Jin: "…"
The two of them carefully removed the soft-shelled package. The silver titanium surface was so dazzling that it blinded people's eyes. There were two big words printed on it — Mythical Gaming Company. On the lower right corner was a row of small words that read "collectible edition holographic helmet" … Hou Dongyan started howling again, his eyes red with envy.
He Jin carefully picked up the helmet and put it on. It was very light, and its shape was fixed. However, he didn't know what material was used on the inside, but after putting it on, it could be adjusted according to the user's head shape to the most comfortable degree. There were many button-sized metal patches on the soft leather lining of the forehead. At first, it felt cold, but He Jin quickly got used to it.
Hou Dongyan asked curiously, "How is it? How is it?"
"It's quite comfortable. It's like wearing a hat." He Jin curiously touched his head and asked Hou Dongyan, "Do you want to connect to the computer?"
Hou Dongyan said, "No, this helmet is just a small computer. The game software is already installed in it. There's no need to connect to the Internet. I heard that there's an automatic network transmitter. Once you put on the helmet, you can connect to the world of Mythical Gaming Company … It's really advanced technology!"
"Amazing. Let me try it first." He Jin sat down and touched the blindfold on his head. With a click, he slid it down and completely blocked his vision. In an instant, He Jin felt a warm electric current enter his head. Although his eyes were closed, He Jin felt like he was watching a 3D movie. An extremely magnificent scene appeared in front of him!
In the ethereal aura, mountains and rivers slowly appeared. Then, the two big golden words "Mythical" flew into his eyes, one on the left and one on the right. "Clang!" The two words collided with each other. It was as if a stone had collapsed and the ground had cracked.
As the game name slowly stabilized, a translucent login box appeared —
Please think of your game login name: _ _ _ _ (Friendly reminder, after the holographic version of the game, all symbols other than Chinese characters have been deleted. You have one chance to change your name)
He Jin thought, It's so amazing that I just have to think of it?
The white fog around him fluctuated. Following He Jin's imagination, the fog turned into white words and floated into the input box —
Please think of your game login name: It's so amazing that I just have to think of it …
He Jin, "…" Black, black technology!
Please think of your game login name: Black Black Technology
He Jin was speechless.
He Jin, "No, no, delete it!"
The words instantly turned into fog and dissipated …
Please think of your game login name: _ _ _ _
He Jin tried again and again several times before he finally figured out how to think of it. He successfully entered his game login name into the login box.
Important Note: The holographic Mythical Gaming Company is made with one helmet. One helmet can only be bound to one real player. If you want to change it, you will need to return to the factory to erase the data. All players can only log in once after the initial settings.
Your game login name is: Little Deity Ah Jin. Confirm?
He Jin hesitated for a second. Confirm.
The translucent login box turned solid and then disappeared. All he saw was a row of welcome messages.
— Dear Little Deity Ah Jin, welcome back to the Mythical Gaming Company —
