The viewers started throwing in sarcastic comments, but Jenny couldn't be bothered to argue with them. These spectators had no idea what she was feeling right now.
With the game's level of realism, she was treating everything as if it were the real world.
Jumping into the water wouldn't actually drown her, but the fear and terror of facing death felt utterly real!
These guys were all just keyboard warriors. They had been so hyped while watching Silent Hill, but if they were the ones playing it themselves, they'd be scared out of their minds!
"Of course, no problem." Gaia's responded to Jenny's request in a very considerate manner.
The next moment, everyone saw Jenny lying flat on the floor of the escape pod, starting to move her arms and legs according to Gaia's instructions.
After practicing inside the escape pod for quite a while, Jenny finally mustered the courage to enter the water.
She opened the hatch, jumped in, and with a splash, she saw the azure seawater all around her, felt the water pressure on her body, and immediately started getting nervous again.
As a result, she forgot everything Gaia's had taught her and drowned once more.
"Ahhh, I don't believe it! One more time!!!" Jenny shouted and began her third attempt at learning.
On the other side, Benjamin was also livestreaming Subnautica on Kick.
His livestream room had hundreds of thousands of viewers as well, firmly holding the top spot on Kick's livestream rankings.
Logically speaking, Benjamin gaming skills should have been much better than Jenny's, but at this moment, he was facing the exact same problem as her.
Underwater swimming.
However, he was indeed braver than Jenny. Not afraid of dying in the game, he started learning directly in the sea.
The result, however, was that he drowned every few minutes.
Every Few Minutes.
It was a pitiful sight.
After learning that Jenny would be livestreaming Subnautica tonight, CaseOh simply chose not to stream at all.
He sat on the sofa with his wife, happily watching Jenny's livestream.
When he saw Jenny working so hard to learn how to swim, CaseOh couldn't help but sigh.
"It's over. I won't be able to play this game!"
With his chubby build, he already got out of breath just from walking too much, let alone swimming!
This game was clearly not meant for him!
"I actually think this game is perfect for you!" CaseOh's wife, Lesley Anderson, snorted coldly.
"You need to lose weight right now. I heard swimming is one of the best exercises for burning fat!"
"When this game comes out, you have to buy a copy and start exercising properly!"
"...."
Roughly half an hour passed quickly.
Jenny had been working so hard to learn how to swim that she was now drenched in sweat.
Her record? She had drowned seven times in just half an hour!
"Why does playing this game feel more exhausting than actually exercising outdoors?"
Jenny kept complaining out loud while the trolls joined in with their own sighs.
[As a viewer, I'm getting tired just watching! Jenny, your livestream is straight-up torture!]
[I checked out Benjamin's stream next door. He's not doing much better. He's still learning how to swim too!]
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]
"User, please keep going. You can do it." Gaia encouraged her warmly, her tone gentle and caring.
"Could you stop calling me 'user'?" Jenny asked while still moving her arms and legs, chatting with Gaia at the same time.
She felt exhausted, but her inner desire to learn hadn't diminished one bit.
Because she really wanted to swim freely through this colorful ocean beneath her feet as soon as possible!
That was the charm of the game!
It was far more motivating than dry, boring practice sessions.
"Then what would the user like me to call you?" Gaia asked.
"Mm..." Jenny thought for a moment before replying, "Just call me beautiful girl."
"No problem, beautiful girl." Gaia answered promptly. "To survive on this unfamiliar planet, please keep working hard. I am with you."
[Tsk tsk, Jenny has no shame at all!]
[Haha, calling herself a beautiful girl? That's god-tier!]
[Cough cough, once I buy this game, I'm going to make Gaia call me husband.]
[This guy is on another level. Electronic wife much?!]
[Holy crap, that actually sounds pretty hot! I'm doing the same thing. That way I'll have a wife too, hehehe]
While the viewers were inexplicably getting all worked up, another one suddenly chimed in:
[Wait a second, everyone. Have you noticed that Gaia's AI seems way too intelligent?]
As soon as those words appeared, even more people responded immediately:
[I noticed it from the very beginning! Gaia can communicate with Jenny so smoothly the entire time!]
[And she even changes her tone depending on the situation. When she's teaching Jenny, she sounds like a strict teacher, constantly guiding and correcting her.]
[When she's encouraging Jenny, she turns into a warm big sister next door, giving gentle support!]
[Even Apple's Siri can't do this!!!]
[No way. Other AIs all sound so monotone. None of them can switch tones this naturally like Gaia!]
