() After about forty minutes, Lin Xu finally queued up for the first batch of virtual helmets released by Imperial Shield Company. Because they use the latest sensing technology, they are naturally expensive.
It cost more than three thousand yuan, which is about Lin Xu's salary for a month. The helmets sold by other online game companies are only half the price, but such pricing can also cause young people to queue up to buy, which shows the impact of "Lightspeed" this time
What level of strength has it reached.
Leaving the long queue and holding the helmet packed in a box, Lin Xu smiled bitterly and collected the receipt for the purchase. This was the biggest expense he had made after working in recent years. If it weren't for the boring work,
He wouldn't be so 'luxurious' if he added some entertainment items to his life.
On the way home by bus, Lin Xu held the packaging box of the helmet in both hands. While he was sitting, many students after school brightened up when they saw what he was holding, and then started a heated discussion.
Looking at the passing scenery outside the glass window, Lin Xu actually knew his game level very well. It was not that he had never played it when he was in school. He just played too badly and was ridiculed by a dormitory student, so he has been playing in sensory online games these years.
After getting excited, I stopped contacting him.
He still clearly remembered that when he was a student, he played an online game in which he teamed up to kill monsters. Because the operation was so bad and there was no timely team cooperation, his classmates called him a "novice" and a "giant".
Now holding this "Light Speed" helmet, Lin Xu wants to kill time more than making money from this world-shaking game masterpiece, as many professional players expect.
When the bus stop announcement sounded in his ears, Lin Xu came to his senses and quickly followed the crowd and got off the bus.
...
Lin Xu lives in a slightly old and obsolete building with only seven floors. In today's era, there are many high-rise buildings, and seven-story residential buildings can definitely be found at the antique level.
But fortunately, at least it was Lin Xu's own home, so he didn't have to spend money to rent a house alone, otherwise his life would be even more stressful.
Opening the door, you will see a small living room, a room of twenty square meters, and a bathroom that can barely accommodate one person. This is Lin Xu's nest, the harbor that he desperately wants to return to after get off work every day.
Lin Xu comes from a single-parent family. His parents divorced when he was in high school. He originally lived here with his mother, but in the past two years, his mother re-founded a family with another man, so now he lives alone.
No one restrained him, and no one cooked for him. He had to do it all alone.
Putting the helmet on the bedside table, Lin Xu didn't want to break it before he started playing with it, because it was the most expensive thing in his room, and other household appliances were still in a relatively retro era.
He was lying on his single bed, too tired to move. He looked up at the white ceiling and couldn't help but have random thoughts in his mind.
For Lin Xu, the current life is not what he wants. Although he lives a fulfilling life every day, no one knows him better than him. Whether he is in college or at work, he feels very stable and introverted, but in fact
Above all, he is a person who seeks excitement and pursues novelty...
Lin Xu's current ordinary and comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing should be enough to satisfy Lin Xu, but he just wants a little more change in his life, at least not like now, where he has to go to get off work and go home to cook.
After lying on the bed and thinking wildly for a long time, Lin Xu finally sat up and took the game helmet box on the bedside table out of curiosity. He slowly opened it, revealing the equipment inside that didn't look complicated.
The so-called helmet, as the name suggests, is worn on the head, but the one Lin Xu was holding had to be worn not only on the head, but also on the arms, neck and ankles.
After studying the helmet, Lin Xu found its instruction manual from the bottom of the box. Because his usual job was to repair cars, he was quite interested in mechanical things.
"DNA sampling technology? Whole-body thermal technology? Three-dimensional perception technology? Second world virtual technology?" There were a lot of professional terms. Lin Xu looked at the words on the manual and couldn't help but be startled.
Fortunately, the second page of the manual is about how to use this helmet, as well as some precautions. It is not exactly the R&D personnel who invented it bragging about how awesome its technology is.
After putting away the helmet and manual, Lin Xu found that he was intrigued by this game. There were only a few days until the game was released on May 30th, but he couldn't wait to experience the fun it brought.
No matter how much the game looked forward to, ordinary life still had to go on. Lin Xu took off his shirt, went to the kitchen shirtless to find some things, and barely made some meals to make ends meet.
Just as he was busy cooking in the smoky kitchen, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang, but the ringing rang quickly and then stopped ringing.
After Lin Xu finished his work and turned off the fire, he wiped his hands with a rag, took out his mobile phone, and found an unread text message, and the sender was his mother.
"Son, if you are short of money, tell your mother."
Lin Xu sighed. He knew that it was not easy for his mother. He knew that he had passed the age of being willful. He also knew that he was so old that she no longer had to worry about anything.
"It's not necessary for the time being. You have to take care of yourself." After Lin Xu finished sending the text message, he felt that his eyes were hit by the thick smoke. From college to the current repair factory worker, he didn't know when he would be able to change the status quo and make his mother feel proud.
's son.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the so-so dish made of cucumbers and other ingredients. He had no appetite, but he had to eat it.
...
For the next few days, Lin Xu went to and from get off work as usual, just like a machine, without any complaints, running perfectly according to the program entered in life.
As the opening day of "Light Speed" gradually approached, everyone could be heard talking excitedly on the streets, from colleagues at work to students he met on the way to get off work. Lin Xu did not expect that the popularity of this game would actually exceed that of the President of the United States.
The election was truly a household name and everyone knew it...
Advertisements in some shopping malls and buildings were replaced with the slogan "Speed of Light".
"Your life needs some passion, and your runway needs some speed! Even if the light of hope is covered up, there is still that second when it breaks through the sky, waiting at the end!"
