110: Chapter 110 Let's Enter the Game Together
Su Qingxue walked out of the kitchen carrying a freshly cut fruit platter.
She looked at the high-tech metal box in the center of the living room, then at the lazy Lu Li, a hint of a smile that only the two of them understood flashing in her eyes.
Last time at their villa, Lu Li had let her wear a prototype, and she still couldn't forget it.
That Virtual Helmet prototype was quite a bit smaller than this one.
She had asked Lu Li about it later, and Lu Li said he could extract items and achievements from his past life.
The Virtual Helmet prototype, the previous Full-screen display phones, and that blonde bionic Robot named No. 18 were all achievements from his past life.
This miraculous ability made Su Qingxue's eyes blur with fascination.
And that time she experienced the Virtual Helmet prototype.
The sensation of her soul leaving her body, being gently wrapped into another world.
Even the slight itch of the wind blowing across her cheeks was so realistic it made her want to cry.
That was the first time she had intuitively felt just what kind of terrifying power her husband possessed.
"Husband."
Su Qingxue walked to Lu Li's side, naturally using a toothpick to feed him a piece of cantaloupe, her voice soft: "This version looks quite a bit simpler than the one at home?"
"It's a far cry from that."
Lu Li opened his mouth to bite the cantaloupe, taking the opportunity to peck at Su Qingxue's fingertips, causing the ice-queen CEO's ears to turn red.
"That version last time was the final edition."
After all, that was the final achievement version rewarded by the system; even if he went to the laboratory himself, he might not be able to replicate it within a few months.
Even with the overall core technology.
After all, the necessary sensory components aren't so easy to integrate and shrink down.
"It's a mass-production pilot version. To control the yield rate, many modules have physical redundancy."
"However..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the living room.
"For ordinary people, this is already a dimensional reduction strike."
Qin Ya was listening nearby, her brows twitching wildly.
A dimensional reduction strike?
Every time this phrase came out of Lu Li's mouth, although she really wanted to disbelieve it from the bottom of her heart, miracles had appeared too many times, making it impossible not to be convinced.
She was also more curious, how much better was this Virtual Helmet compared to VR glasses?
It wasn't to experience this device; she naturally wouldn't come to deliver the helmet personally for work that could obviously be handed over to a secretary.
"Alright, stop staring blankly."
Lu Li clapped his hands and looked at the two Doraemons: "Open the box and move the equipment to the living room."
"Understood, Lu Li."
Both Robots responded in unison, their round palms pressing against the box's combination lock.
Entering the numeric password.
Beep—
The box lid popped open.
In the silver-grey metal lining, five sets of Virtual Helmets lay quietly.
No, rather than helmets, they were more like some kind of tactical equipment from the future.
Matte black body, sharp lines.
The most conspicuous part was the backplate.
It was a piece of soft black material, densely covered with sensors and micro-components, looking like some kind of high-tech vest.
Wang Peng leaned in closer, his eyes widening even further.
He reached out tremblingly, wanting to touch it, but pulled back in mid-air, as if it were some fragile artifact.
"This... this is too cool!"
Wang Peng muttered to himself, his eyes actually turning red: "This texture, these lines, they look better than my girlfriend... oh wait, I don't have a girlfriend."
He hurriedly denied it, almost letting it slip. He was only in the sixth grade; if his parents found out about this, he'd definitely get a spanking.
Lu Li ignored his cousin who was acting crazy and turned to look at Qin Ya: "Give them a crash course."
Qin Ya took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and picked up a set of equipment.
"This is the first-generation Neural Mesh Virtual Helmet independently developed by Guanghui Technology."
"The helmet part integrates an fNIRS blood oxygen monitoring module, a high-precision gyroscope, and a visual signal output unit."
"The sensor array on the backplate can capture neural signals in real-time and convert them into action commands in the virtual world through deep learning algorithms."
"But these aren't the important things..."
She looked up at everyone: "What's important is this—the non-invasive neural capture array."
"In there, you can see, hear, and even touch everything."
The living room was quiet for a few seconds.
Then.
Wang Peng let out a scream.
"Holy sh*t!!!"
"This is too sci-fi! I thought I traveled to the future!!"
"Brother, you are a god! You are my real brother, come here for a kiss!"
He was incoherent with excitement, jumping around in place, and even rushed over, wanting to hug Lu Li and kiss him.
But Lu Li pushed his head away.
Lu Yaoguang had remained calm; after all, she was his own sister, and she had to act like "I've seen all this before."
But now, she still couldn't help it, her calm expression slowly collapsing into astonishment.
Her brother was really bad; having such good stuff, he didn't let her try it last time.
Got a wife, forgot his sister?
Yang Yueru covered her mouth, her eyes full of disbelief.
Controlling with thought?
Isn't this the holographic online game written about in novels? Did cousin really make it?
She walked down the stairs quickly, her eyes fixed on the equipment, glowing with fanaticism.
"That..." Yang Yueru's voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it carried an unprecedented longing: "Brother, can I... try it?"
Lu Li looked at these guys who already had "I want to play" written on their faces and smiled.
"Of course."
"But before that..."
He walked to the TV cabinet, pulled open the drawer, and took out an ordinary-looking black USB drive.
"The system is still being debugged, and there is currently only one test game."
"A game?"
Su Qingxue leaned over curiously: "You didn't tell me, is it a 3A masterpiece? Doomsday Afterglow? Or Star Battle Armor 3?"
"It's minecraft."
Lu Li shook the USB drive in his hand: "I had Xiao Dou AI spend three days converting the code of this game into a format that the Virtual Helmet system can recognize."
"The image quality, sound effects, and physics engine have all been re-optimized."
"In the virtual world..."
He paused, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "You will see a completely different minecraft."
"Put it on."
"Go and be your creator gods."
Ten minutes later.
Five sets of Virtual Helmets were neatly placed on the carpet in the living room.
Lu Li, Su Qingxue, Qin Ya, Wang Peng, and Yang Yueru, five people were lying on the sofa and the carpet respectively.
Lu Yaoguang stood aside, holding a tablet, responsible for monitoring the equipment status.
Actually, she didn't understand the data on the tablet, and she secretly regretted it: "If I had known, I wouldn't have pretended that I knew it all along."
"Brother, when can I play?"
She saw that several people had put on their helmets, but Lu Li hadn't yet, reckoning that he couldn't hear her, so she leaned close to Lu Li and muttered.
Lu Li glanced at her: "Wait until they come out, then you can go in."
"Besides..."
He pointed to the TV: "I've cast the screen of the Virtual Helmet to the TV, you can watch it first."
Lu Yaoguang's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
Lu Li nodded, then looked at the others, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!!!"
Wang Peng shouted the loudest and even raised his hand.
