Pei Qian was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down.
"Calm down, calm down.
"The VR experience area has just opened. There are more gimmicks. It's normal and reasonable for everyone to come and play.
"After this wave of popularity passes, there will definitely be no one in the VR experience area. Fish-Catching Internet Cafe will then be able to incur losses.
"It's worth it to bring about long-term losses for a moment of popularity."
After comforting himself, Pei Qian stood up and planned to sneak up to the second floor to take a look.
Although he knew that the second floor was probably full now, it was important to see the feedback of customers.
What if the occupancy rate was high but the customers were not satisfied?
He greeted the waiter and asked him to reserve a seat for him. He would have to come down to eat later.
It was only morning, and the internet cafe was almost full. He had not seen such a grand occasion for at least a few months.
If Pei Qian went to the second floor just like that, his seat would probably be occupied soon. Thus, he had to ask the waiter to help keep an eye on him.
Pei Qian followed the crowd to the second floor and was shocked by the grand scene in front of him.
There were so many people!
Although Pei Qian had expected that there would be a lot of people and that all the seats would be occupied, he realized that he was still too young after coming.
Not only was every seat occupied, but there were also two people queuing behind!
In order to make it convenient for gamers to move freely in the VR area, every empty space in the VR experience area was relatively spacious. There were partitions to separate players from the people on both sides.
There was an aisle at the back, which was also relatively spacious.
Now, there were many people standing in the original aisle. Obviously, they were all waiting in line!
Now, Pei Qian knew why there were so many unfamiliar faces downstairs.
That was because the familiar faces had already come to play on the second floor or queued up!
The queuing mechanism of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was similar to that of the snack market, Thriller Hostel, and other industries. If it was full, they could go to the bar to queue up. The bar would arrange the queue based on the priority of the queue and the downtime of each device. There would not be a situation where they would be late.
This was also to take care of most people's experience as much as possible. There would not be a situation where they were early but were beaten to it by others.
Logically, these people could just wait in the internet cafe area below to call out their numbers. However, it was obvious that they were too passionate about VR so they would rather stand upstairs and watch!
The VR experience includes a mouse, headset, monitor, and a full set of Doubt
VR headset. The keyboard and mouse were fixed on a foldable table board, which could be unfolded when in use and hung on the wall when not in use.
On the monitor, the image in the VR glasses would be displayed.
Of course, players could also choose to turn off their monitors if they didn't want others to see them. However, Animal Island VR was a casual, cute game. There was nothing shameful about it, so there was no need to turn off the screen.
As a result, there was a situation where one person was playing and the other two were watching. Moreover, they were watching with great interest!
The VR glasses were all-in-one and had a battery. They could be played wirelessly, but they could only last for about two hours. Actually, the original intention of the design was for everyone to take a break after playing for more than two hours to recharge their glasses. They also didn't want to be too immersed in the game as it would be too tiring.
This was the case for players at home. After all, the VR glasses belonged to them, and they could find some time to play with it.
However, that was not the case in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Many people had made a special trip here. How could they leave after two hours?
Of course, they had to work hard!
However, Xiao Peng had obviously considered this point. When designing the VR glasses, he had fixed the charging cable and data cable of the VR glasses to the wall on the right side.
This cable was suspended above their heads. Thus, even if they played wired, players did not have to worry about being entangled by this cable. The experience was not much different from wireless mode.
The customers watching from behind chatted as they watched.
"Looking at it up close, it's even clearer than Teacher Qiao's video. This game is too awesome. It can even simulate the movements of shooting arrows. I can't wait to try it out. "
"Ai, I knew that the VR experience area was open today. That's why I rushed over as soon as the internet cafe opened. I didn't expect to be late! Many people were queuing even before the doors opened. "
"I don't know how long we have to queue. It's so uncomfortable."
"It's alright, Brother. I'll play for an hour at most. If the experience is good, I'll go back and buy a set of VR glasses to play at home! "
"There are too many people. Should we go to the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe further away to take a look?"
"Don't go. There must be a queue there. There's no need to think about it. Just wait here obediently."
"It seems like we can only play Animal Island here. Where's Fitness Battle?"
"There's no smart fitness drying rack here. How can we play?"
"If you want to play Fitness Battle, you can go to the nearby Starbird Fitness. There's a full set of drying racks and VR glasses there."
"Is that so? How much is the fee? "
"Both. You can book a month, a year, or you can experience it on demand. What's more, there's a new shop nearby. I don't think there will be many people. "
"Then I won't queue here. There are still more than ten people in front. How long will it take? I'll go over there to experience it first!"
People came and went in the VR experience area. New customers kept coming up from downstairs to see what the VR experience area looked like. There were also people who could not wait and left from the second floor.
Pei Qian was near the staircase. He felt a little hopeless as he was squeezed around by everyone.
If it was a normal day, Pei Qian would often encounter people asking for his autograph. At that time, he would feel quite annoyed. However, no one asked for his autograph today. They were all staring at the VR glasses. Pei Qian felt even worse!
What a sad story.
What's more, Pei Qian suddenly felt that something was amiss as he listened to their discussion.
"Starbird Fitness? Why does this name sound so familiar? "
Pei Qian was very sure that he had heard of this name before. He thought about it as he went downstairs and ate breakfast. Suddenly, he remembered.
Wasn't this the gym that he had asked He Desheng to invest in previously?!
Pei Qian had coincidentally met Che Rong when he was buying a house previously. Che Rong said that he had opened a gym and the situation had been bad for the past few years. Recently, he had finally met a benefactor to help him and the situation had improved. Thus, he took out the money from the house and invested it in the gym.
Pei Qian heard that. Even the boss had to sell his house to work out the funds for the gym, which was in a bad situation. Wouldn't he incur losses by investing some money?
What's more, it would form a direct competitor with the Deposit Fitness. It would be perfect if they fought each other.
Thus, Pei Qian told He Desheng to invest some money in the gym without anyone noticing. It was the normal investment process of Dream Realization Ventures.
In the end … how did Starbird Fitness get involved with Fitness Battle? What the hell was a full set of drying racks and VR glasses?
Pei Qian pondered as he ate breakfast. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
There seemed to be some secrets that he hadn't noticed, or perhaps he had overlooked!
Pei Qian felt that he would not be able to keep a low profile if he did not leave now as more and more people entered the internet cafe. Thus, he stood up and left immediately after breakfast.
Then, he took out his mask from his pocket and put it on. He searched for the nearby Starbird Fitness on the map.
It was about two kilometers from here and nearly three kilometers from the nearest Deposit Fitness.
Pei Qian was a little dissatisfied when he saw this location.
Why was it so far from Deposit Fitness? It should be closer!
It would be best if he could open it face to face.
A gym basically covered an area of more than three kilometers. If the competition was intense, it might only cover an area of two kilometers.
After all, distance was a core factor that customers had to consider when choosing a gym.
If it was too far away, they would be exhausted before they even reached the gym. They would not be in the mood to work out and would not be able to persevere.
The Starbird Fitness store was five kilometers away from Deposit Fitness. It could be said that the customers were basically in a completely different state. It was impossible to form a competitive relationship with Deposit Fitness. Naturally, it was impossible to steal customers and reduce Deposit Fitness' profits.
Moreover, Pei Qian looked at the map and realized that the location of Starbird Fitness seemed to be intentional.
Most of the branches were located within three to four kilometers of Deposit Fitness!
The distance was not considered close since the gym's clients did not overlap. On the other hand, it was not too far away either. Jingzhou was so huge, and Deposit Fitness could not cover the entire city. Starbird Fitness' new branch happened to be not far from Deposit Fitness. It did not seem right to use coincidence as an explanation.
According to the search results on the map, the largest flagship store of Starbird Fitness was near Great World. However, like the other branches, it was also a distance away from Great World and Jinsheng Square, which were owned by Tengda.
Pei Qian suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this Starbird Fitness.
Before this, he had thought that it was an ordinary gym that was about to collapse. Thus, he had invested some money in it out of humanitarianism.
However, from the looks of it, the situation was definitely not as simple as he had thought!
There was no need to look at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe anymore. The VR experience area would definitely be extremely popular during this period of time.
Based on the current popularity, it would be at least two to three months later even if it became deserted in the future.
He did not want to dwell on this place that he had already fallen into. However, what was going on with Starbird Fitness?
Pei Qian called Little Sun and asked him to drive over. He decided to make a trip to the largest flagship store of Starbird Fitness.
He had to figure out the situation of Starbird Fitness!
…
At the same time, Starbird Fitness' flagship store had officially opened.
Che Rong was extremely efficient. After receiving the news from Boss Li, he immediately arranged for a large number of VR glasses to be purchased and allocated to the various branches as soon as possible.

Because of Doubt …
The VR glasses had long been compatible with the smart fitness drying rack, so it was relatively easy to install. It could be connected wirelessly or wirelessly. This was something Shang Yang Games had planned in advance when they developed the Fitness Battle VR version.
A wire could be hung down from the smart module on the smart fitness drying rack. It had both data transmission and charging functions. What's more, it would not affect the fitness movements.
He could just hang it at the side when he was not using it.
They were all compatible and very convenient to install. The employees of the various branches of Starbird Fitness took the time to work after receiving the goods. Finally, the installation was completed successfully.
