“Really!” Qi Jianfei was suddenly excited after hearing this.
Wang Donglai and Liu Wei looked incredulous, “Qin Yu, didn’t you want to start a business before? Why–”
Qin Yu shrugged, “Hey, it’s not easy to start a business nowadays. This one million is not a big amount of money. It’s easy to lose it all. In that case, it is better to buy a game cabin and enjoy it. ”
“Furthermore, the people who can take a million out to play games are rich people, and they must be willing to spend money. Maybe you can make money as a professional player in the game.”
This was true. In the last life, even the ultra-high threshold of one million could not stop the game studios. In the later period, there were still several game studios in the Marvel Universe, but all of them were very low-key due to the fear of being blocked by the game company. The account of this game was bound to the game cabin. If it’s blocked, they would suffer a great loss.
For Qin Yu’s words, both Liu Wei and Wang Donglai felt unacceptable. In their opinion, this was simply going astray. A good college student wanted to become a professional player instead of an entrepreneur? This was simply self-willing and depraved.
Although they didn’t say anything, their expression already showed the two people’s thoughts.
Qin Yu didn’t blame the two of them for thinking this way. If it weren’t for knowing the truth of the game, if it weren’t for eight years of advanced experience, if it wasn’t for the boring business of the previous life, he would definitely think so too.
However, Wang Donglai and Liu Wei still did not say what they thought in the end. They were all adults and were responsible for their lives. They just persuaded Qin Yu to think more about it.
Soon the topic of chat moved to other places.
The next day, Qi Jianfei drove Qin Yu in his Ford to buy a game cabin, as if he was afraid he would regret it.
Since they were already in their last year, the two of them had no classes to attend, so they were not afraid of delaying their studies.
“Your car is not bad. Did you modify it yourself?” Qin Yu asked in surprise while sitting in Qi Jianfei’s car.
Qin Yu still had a little bit of knowledge about cars. Ford cars are not very popular in China, but Qi Jianfei was obviously a little different, and this one had traces of modification.
“Yes, my dad’s factory is out of order, and there are still some machine components left. Anyway, I’m idle, so I’ll use it to change the car.”
Qi Jianfei majored in mechanical engineering, and his hobby was to modify cars. Qin Yu also heard about this.
“Well, in fact, I can buy it for you. Of course, the game cabin has to be kept in my house. Then you will play with me at my house.”
Qi Jianfei obviously still hoped that Qin Yu could be bound by his side, and even not hesitate to pay for the game cabin.
Qin Yu shook his head, “No, although I am not as rich as you, I can still afford a game cabin.”
The reason why he chose to play with Qi Jianfei was that the two of them had a better relationship, thus more at ease to play together. Secondly, he also needed to find a partner or assistant in the game. Many things couldnot be done by one person, so he definitely did not let Qi Jianfei spend money, otherwise, he would become Qi Jianfei’s follower, not a companion.
“You just need to help me arrange a place to live, so I can save myself renting a house.”
“There is naturally a place to live. In fact, my dad bought me a house in Xijiang City last year, but it was too deserted and far away from school, so I never moved in. I was just about to graduate. Now, let’s send the game cabin directly to my villa.”
After talking, the car has already arrived at Eternal Technology’s dealership in Xijiang City.
Eternal Technology Company didn’t seem to want to publicize the unprecedented technology of holographic virtual games at all.
Not only was the release date selected on April 1st, April Fools’ Day, but also the game conference was not held. They just arranged some dealerships in major cities across the country.
There happened to be one in Xijiang City. Although he could order directly online, it’s better to see one million products in person.
It’s a pity to find out that there was no stock here, so he needed to wait for the shipping from the headquarters.
After paying the deposit, the two went directly to Qi Jianfei’s villa.
The villa was located in the wild grass garden in Xijiang City, a relatively remote area. It took a lot of effort to buy things, but the environment was good.
Qin Yu stayed here that night.
The speed of Eternal Technology was still very fast, as the game cabin was delivered the next day.
Watching the delivery workers put two huge game cabins into the villa and install them in the two bedrooms, Qi Jianfei was surprisingly excited.
“It’s too luxurious, too advanced, it’s like science fiction.” He whispered around the game cabin while muttering nonstop.
This thing was really interesting. The length of the game cabin was about 2.5 meters, and the internal space was two meters long. Both of them ordered the standard version. If someone had a special body, they needed to customize it.
The color of the game compartment was white, shuttle-shaped, and has a streamlined cover. Most of the cover was transparent except for the frame. It looks a bit like the dormant bin in the interstellar travel of science fiction movies.
There was a gelatinous lining inside the game compartment, which could automatically adjust the stress points of the human bones, so the player wouldn’t feel uncomfortable even if playing for a long time.
There was something like a metal bowl on the head. Qin Yu knew that it’s a brainwave reader. As long as the player placed that thing on their head and started the game, they would automatically fall asleep and enter the holographic virtual world.
Different from the description in some game novels, this thing did not have a life support system, thus there was a built-in reminder system every six hours, and the game cabin would force the player to quit after 24 hours.
The game cabin could be powered by a household power supply, and it also had an independent backup capacitor, which could continue to run for six hours in the event of a power failure.
The technicians in charge of the installation introduced the functions and attention methods of the game cabin. The two happily settled the balance and then sent these technicians away.
As soon as the technicians left, Qi Jianfei couldn’t wait to get into the game cabin.
Qin Yu grabbed him, “Stop, stop, don’t be hurry. Before we play the game, we need to make a plan. This game cabin is bound to the account, a person can only have one account at a time. If you go the wrong way, you have to delete the account and start again, so we have to be more cautious.”
Qi Jianfei slapped his head when he heard it, “Yeah, I almost forgot about it, Old Qin, you are a closed beta player, you can tell me quickly, what kind of Class is strongest in this game?”
Qin Yu shook his head, “Strictly speaking, this game has no fixed Class restriction, only strengthening routes. For example, superphysical fitness like Captain America, strong healing ability like Wolverine, to control the metal like Magneto, or arm yourself with technology equipment like Iron Man, you can follow any route you want in this game.
Of course, that’s the matter of the later stage, and at the beginning of the game, players have eleven openings to choose from. ”
These eleven openings were –
Aliens, mutants, metahumans, modified humans, Asgardians, occultists, mystic inheritors, technology researchers, war survivors, cursed ones, and ordinary people.
Qi Jianfei was dumbfounded: “How could this game’s initial openings differ so much from the average game? I don’t understand it at all. Senior, can you tell me about these openings? I’m completely confused.”
