036. Helmet Out of Control

036. Helmet Out of Control

After reading the discussion forum with Hou Dongyan, He Jin checked some information on the Internet about holographic helmet's working principle and the likes.

Demon God wasn't the world's first holographic game. Before this, foreign countries had already released Beast Soul and Magic Tower as two holographic game's precedent. However, their mode of operation was not by using "helmet", but "holographic capsule" instead. Holographic capsule required the players to lay their entire body down in a capsule-shaped "game cabin" to enter the entire game world.

But because the production cost of holographic capsules was far higher than "helmet", they can only be produced in a small batch; it was difficult for them to achieve universal popularity. So, although holographic games already existed previously, there were only few domestic players who had the chance to play it.

However, the operating principle of the holographic helmet and the holographic capsule should be similar. The making of Demon God's helmet was also learned from foreigner's technology to some extent, using them as the basis of production, simplification and improvement. Therefore, He Jin was currently looking for feedback from players who had experiences with "holographic capsule". Most of the search results were from foreign websites. There were a lot of English posts, but since his English was not bad, it shouldn't be hard for him to understand.

One of the veteran players wrote an article analyzing the full holographic simulation of the game. Just as mentioned in the discussion forum, it was written that players need to have strong focus, and that distraction would cause the player to be either confused or disconnected from the capsule.

In addition, the game did not require players to have sports ability, but they had to have excellent physique balance instead. It was because the game process often included many elements comparable with extreme sports, such as high altitude fall, dive into the deep sea, and so on. If one were to have height phobia, deep-sea phobia, or carsick, seasickness, it would be hard for them to adapt.

He Jin thought, he feared neither height nor sea, and he also did not have any adverse reactions to those things mentioned, so he felt a lot more at ease,

He continued browsing for two hours, completely forgetting his original intention of contacting Fire. He only stopped when Hou Dongyan pulled him to go eat.

On the road, the two of them were chatting excitedly about holographic game related things when Hou Dongyan suddenly said: "Jin Ge, I think recently you have changed a little."

He Jin: "Eh?" "

"You've never played a game before and you won't discuss these things with me either..." Hou Dongyan scratched his head, feeling a bit hesitant.

He Jin: "Was your impression of me that bad?"

Hou Dongyan: "No no no, I think you are very good, anyway don't blame me for bringing you to this bad side ah."

He Jin wondered: "What do you mean,"bringing me to the bad side"?"

Hou Dongyan: "isn't there a saying, 'one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black', I'm afraid that my habit of playing games has affected you."

He Jin laughed: "When did you become so poetic? Don't worry, I'm also feeling really happy playing games right now."

Hearing this, Hou Dongyan became much more relaxed: "Hey, I also think that you are more interesting than before!"

He Jin: "..." was I a dull man before? (=_=)

After dinner, they went back to the dormitory. He Jin looked at the time, seven o'clock, Fire must be online now. He couldn't restrain his excitement. He hurriedly drank his tea, went to the toilet, and then said to Hou Dongyan: "I want to play the game ah, do not disturb me!"
