In 2032, the world's first consciousness-controlled VR helmet was released.
Non-invasive brain-computer interface technology was quite mature, and based on its principles, scientists developed a brand-new VR helmet.
Unlike traditional VR helmets, consciousness-controlled VR helmets could use brainwaves emitted by the human brain to operate game characters, truly liberating hands and eliminating the hassle of using VR controllers for game character operation.
Not only that, after people entered immersive games, their minds were active, but their bodies got ample rest, achieving both game entertainment and work rest simultaneously.
In a luxurious villa in Shangmei City, a handsome young man was playing girls frontline VR Edition in front of a computer screen. His name was Wang Youwei, and he was a second-generation rich kid.
He had asked his dad to have that company create this game. When he turned 18, his dad asked him what gift he wanted, and he said he wanted to play a VR version of a game.
His dad agreed without thinking, first acquiring the company with money, then gathering all the company's resources for development. Finally, after six months, the first test arrived.
The day before the game's first test, he obtained the first qualification to enter the game, happily picked up the VR helmet, and entered the girls frontline virtual world to play.
After entering the virtual world, he was shocked by the scene before him. Wow! The graphics were so real, it was like entering a new world. Everything in this world made him curious.
When entering the game, Wang Youwei chose Type 95. Don't ask why he chose a female character, because there were no male characters in this game. Looking down at his feet, which were obscured by his overly large chest, he fondled the character a bit. These breasts, these legs, mm! He felt good now, but just as he was enjoying himself, a group of NPC monsters appeared opposite him.
"How inconsiderate, don't they know I'm busy?" Picking up his Type 95 automatic rifle, he began to fight the NPC monsters not far away.
He threw a grenade forward, then quickly ducked behind an overturned bus on the side of the road. With a bang, a violent explosion occurred, instantly killing all the NPC monsters.
Just as he was having a great time, a virtual pop-up window appeared in front of her.
"Do you want to know the true meaning of life? YES or NO"
Holy crap, what the hell, Infinite Horror? Reincarnators? Main God Space? But this is a virtual world! How could it be real?
Could the game be infected with a virus? What are the programmers doing? It seems I need to tell Dad to fire all those freeloading good-for-nothings.
Looking at the two options in front of him, Wang Youwei directly pressed NO. After pressing the option, the pop-up window disappeared. He thought the pop-up would disappear and he could continue his adventure in the girls frontline world, but unexpectedly, five seconds later, the pop-up reappeared.
"Do you desire power? YES or NO"
"No, I desire breasts. Can you give them to me? Seriously, it's endless," Wang Youwei said expressionlessly.
"Do you desire breasts? YES or NO"
Heh heh! This virus is really something. Is it an AI virus? Choose, choose, choose your mother's choice, choose this, choose that, if I choose, can you give it to me?
"Alright! Since you want me to choose, then I'll choose." So Wang Youwei pressed the YES button.
After pressing it, the pop-up screen changed to display the two characters for "Received," then disappeared.
After the pop-up disappeared, Wang Youwei looked around and found that nothing had happened. For some reason, he felt a little happy and a little disappointed.
He was happy that the pop-up finally disappeared, and disappointed that it was indeed a virus; he had thought he might actually transmigrate.
Alas! But how could transmigration exist in reality? It seems he's read too many novels and has become foolish.
"Never mind, let's just pretend nothing happened! Continue playing the game." He picked up his Type 95 assault rifle and walked forward, but after only a few steps, a black hole suddenly opened beneath Wang Youwei's feet, and without surprise, he fell right in.
"Oh my god! Why did I suddenly fall into a black hole? Am I really going to transmigrate? No! Help!" Wang Youwei's cries for help echoed in the black hole.
In this world, Wang Youwei suddenly disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air. He wasn't the only one missing; at the same time, multiple cases of missing persons occurred simultaneously around the world.
In a hospital in Shenchuan, the doctor looked at the examination report, then at the young man in front of him, and directly announced that he had liver cancer, and it was late-stage.
The young man's name was Zhang Zihai. A few days ago, he suddenly experienced abdominal pain. He initially thought it would get better in a couple of days, but unexpectedly, it not only didn't improve but got worse. Finally, he waited until he could no longer bear the pain before going to the hospital for an examination.
Now, learning that he had liver cancer, this news was a bolt from the blue for him. Zhang Zihai was very agitated; he couldn't believe it was true. "Doctor, is there a mistake? I used to be very healthy! How could I suddenly get liver cancer, and late-stage at that?"
"I understand how you feel. Next, you should go for chemotherapy. For the remaining time, you should eat what you want and drink what you want. Alas, why are so many young people getting liver cancer now?" The doctor shook his head, sighed, and then shouted towards the door, "Next!"
Zhang Zihai walked out of the hospital gate, clutching his examination report, looking distraught. He did not heed the doctor's words to pay for chemotherapy.
Rather than spending money on chemotherapy, he'd rather give it to his parents at home. They had worked hard their whole lives to raise him into a university graduate. It had been two years since he graduated, and his life was pretty good. He had originally planned to get married next and have a big, chubby grandson for his parents to hold.
But plans can't keep up with changes. He never expected such a thing to happen. He called his mother with his phone. "Mom! It's Ah Hai. I still have 200,000 in my bank card. The password is the last four digits of my ID plus my birth year. Goodbye forever."
"Hello! Ah Hai! What's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you suddenly calling me to say goodbye? Don't scare me..."
Zhang Zihai hung up before his mother could finish. His mother called him back immediately, but he didn't answer. Instead, he turned off his phone and took a taxi to the nearest seaside cliff.
Arriving at the sea, he intended to commit suicide by jumping into the ocean. Just before he jumped, a virtual pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Do you want to know the true meaning of life? YES or NO"
Ugh! What the hell, 'Infinite Horror'? Are they still playing this old trick? Can't they just let him jump into the sea in peace? "You want me to choose? I refuse to choose. What can you do to me? I, Zhang Zihai, love saying no to those who think too highly of themselves."
After speaking, he immediately leaped. He could feel the wind rushing past him: "Ah! So refreshing! This is the feeling of freedom. Eighteen years later, I, Zhang Zihai, will be a good man again."
Just as Zhang Zihai was about to fall into the sea, a black hole suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and his entire body fell into it.
