Chapter 5 - Stupid Players

After putting on the helmet, Ye Lei only felt that the size was just right, with no discomfort at all.

Instead, it felt as if it was custom-made for him, very comfortable.

The moment he put it on, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

"Twelve hours until the game officially launches."

Seeing the countdown, Ye Lei was even more convinced that this was a gaming helmet.

He immediately took it off, handed the helmet to his roommate next to him, and said, "Here, put it on and you'll see the reminder that the game will launch in twelve hours."

His roommate took the helmet, half-believing, and put it on his own head.

However, the helmet that fit Ye Lei perfectly, he couldn't wear.

Another roommate couldn't bear to watch.

He immediately snatched it and said, "Don't join the fun with your big head, let me, my head is small."

Saying that, he put the helmet on his own head.

Although he wore the helmet, he couldn't see anything except the light filtering through the gap below the eye area.

To ensure it was real, he even held the helmet and adjusted its position several times.

But he still couldn't see anything.

He immediately felt that Ye Lei was playing a trick on him, and somewhat angrily took off the helmet, stuffing it into Ye Lei's hand, saying, "Fine, I knew you were messing with us, but I actually believed it."

The other two roommates who hadn't worn the helmet immediately understood that this was Ye Lei's prank.

They were all very disappointed and, ignoring Ye Lei's explanation, shook their heads, sighed, and dispersed to do their own things.

Finally, Ye Lei also gave up explaining, thinking that the game would launch in twelve hours.

He no longer delayed, and with the fastest speed he had ever used, he washed up and lay on the bed, planning to catch up on sleep first.

Only then would he have better energy at night to welcome this epoch-making game.

However, lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep due to excessive excitement.

So he took out his phone and opened the "China E-sports Future" QQ group again.

Just as he was about to send a message about receiving the helmet, someone inside had already leaked the news.

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): Holy cow!!! Brothers! I really received the helmet, who else received it?

Never Empty Force Fishing Guy:?? What helmet?

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): The virtual gaming helmet Hao Zi mentioned! I opened my door this morning, and it was just sitting at my doorstep.

As soon as he finished speaking, he also attached two high-definition, uncensored photos.

Shancheng First Ghost Fire: Isn't this just a motorcycle helmet? It's ugly and black, let me show you my Ghost Fire helmet, it has a 100%Return rate.

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): Get lost, get lost, little kid, go play somewhere else, this is a serious virtual helmet.

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): Has anyone else received it?

Hui Shou Tao: Me! I also received it, holy cow! It's so cool [Image]

Seeing this, Ye Lei also picked up the helmet placed by his pillow, took a photo, and sent it to the group.

Heitandou: I also received it! [Shy] Emoji

Just as he sent the message, Jiang Hao also spoke.

nickname: Group owner, please mute the chat, I have a few words to say.

"This group has been set to Administrator-only chat by I Love A Wood (Group Owner). nickname has become an administrator of this group."

Jiang Hao saw Old Jiang's operation and typed again.

nickname: There are five helmets in the first batch, and other brothers who pre-ordered don't have to worry, more will be released later, mainly related to the game environment and helmet production.

nickname: This kind of gaming helmet is currently still a laboratory product, so the quantity is not high, and each person is bound to one helmet. If it's lost, we currently don't have the energy to re-issue them, so please keep it safe, and don't try to disassemble it out of curiosity to understand its principle, this thing is too precise, it will definitely break if you take it apart.

Seeing Jiang Hao's message, the few people who received the helmets immediately held them tightly in their arms.

Are you kidding? For them, these gaming fanatics, this helmet was more important than their lives right now, how could they lose it?

After finishing with the helmets, Jiang Hao continued with instructions about the game.

nickname: You should have seen the game's launch time, right?

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): Yes, yes, I saw it, it's launching in eleven hours, will we be able to log in then? Or do we need to go through a registration process or something?

nickname: No need to register, the registration was already completed when you filled out your information.

nickname: You just need to find a comfortable position and lie down before logging into the game. At the same time, don't worry about safety issues, the helmet has an advanced external sensing system, if someone keeps knocking on the door, or there's continuous noise, it will actively remind you within the game. Moreover, this game can replace sleep, which means playing the game is actually sleeping, so it won't delay you from doing other things during the day.

nickname: Alright, that's about it, I still need to go to a meeting.

Jiang Hao had given most of his instructions and was about to find an excuse to slip away.

But I Love A Wood spoke again.

I Love A Wood (Group Owner): Hao Zi, don't leave yet, tell us about the game, what type is it?

Jiang Hao paused his action of exiting, thought for a moment, and still typed an explanation.

nickname: The game is a super-large open world, where you can do countless things you want to do. At the same time, it's just launched, how it develops is up to the Players to decide. Our game company is only responsible for supervision and will not actively influence the direction of the game.

nickname: In short, this is a highly free online game.

nickname: Alright, I really need to go to a meeting. Anyway, you'll know once you enter the game, bye-bye.

After saying the last sentence, Jiang Hao exited the game group chat.

I Love A Wood saw that he really wasn't talking anymore, and immediately lifted the mute.

The group immediately became lively.

Shancheng First Ghost Fire: Heh heh, you actually believe it? No way? No way? My uncle's AI company isn't even that outrageous.

However, his dissenting remark was immediately ignored by others, after all, some people really did receive the helmets.

Those high-definition photos were still there.

The first five lucky ones were showing off, and everyone else was curious and kept asking questions.

And the web link that I Love A Wood had placed in the group announcement was quickly clicked by people.

Jiang Hao looked at the rapidly increasing number of reservations and smiled contentedly.

It was daytime on Earth, and it was just getting dark where he was.

After a quick dinner, Jiang Hao began to pack his things.

That's right, he was moving.

If the Players came in and saw him, as the highest BOSS, living in such a dilapidated shack, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?

He moved all his personal belongings into the room he had just opened up inside the Elf Ancient Tree with 10 Soul Power.

This would be his residence from now on.

This was also one of the Soul Power application methods he had learned from Lilith today.

After a comfortable bath in his new house, Jiang Hao also went to bed early, preparing to welcome his little Players the next day.

The night passed, Jiang Hao woke up early and specifically styled his hair.

It was still that saying, as a faction BOSS, he had to maintain a certain level of swagger.

For this, he even specially put on the clothes that came with his body when he first transmigrated.

The style of this clothing was a tight-fitting suit, similar to what superheroes wear.

The material felt like rubber, but it was very warm and breathable when worn.

The clothes also had some golden patterns as embellishments, looking somewhat cool.

Jiang Hao had been reluctant to wear them before, afraid of damaging them during hunting.

After all, there was nowhere to replace them before.

As for now, it only cost some Soul Power.

"Master, it's time, the Players have already logged into the game," Lilith floated beside him, looking at Jiang Hao who was still posing, and couldn't help but remind him.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry at all. After confirming that his image was fine, he then took Lilith to the cultivation room on the first floor.

Before even opening the door, he could already hear the commotion inside.

"Holy cow, this is really a 100% virtual game, try hitting me."

"Slap."

"Ow, why did you hit my face?"

"You didn't say I couldn't hit your face."

"That's true, but it really hurts."

Jiang Hao's forehead immediately furrowed with black lines upon hearing this idiotic conversation.
