For Wang Tai, such a game was truly unheard of and unseen!
The fat man put on the virtual device again and entered the game. It was still the cutscene, and at this point, the members of Alpha Team had already gotten off the plane.
Captain Wesker walked at the front, while the two main characters, Chris and Jill, walked at the back of the team.
Although their appearances were similar to those in the game, a closer look revealed that they were no different from real people!
Their skin, hair, and even every pore were meticulously detailed!
Reaching out, he could even feel their body temperature!
Not only that, the vitality in their eyes was so vivid!
The fat man drifted around them like a soul, observing each person up close: "Why do they all look like the barbarians from Dalin?"
"But they don't look the same; the people from Dalin don't dress like this... and the women from Dalin are broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, not as beautiful as these!"
Jill Valentine, the female protagonist of the first Resident Evil game and one of the main characters in the second movie, had a very attractive appearance. Compared to the movie, the character in the game had a blend of Eastern and Western beauty, and her military uniform made her look even more impressive. Fang Qi clearly remembered that when he first played "Resident Evil 1," Jill was considered a goddess-level character.
In the later official remakes, Jill became even more refined and beautiful. In the system's high-tech game, her appearance was even more stunning, no wonder the fat man's eyes were wide open.
However, the fat man was not a coward. After discovering there was no danger, his curiosity was piqued. It felt like another world, and he could float around, observe everyone, and they couldn't see him. It was like being a god, constantly watching over everyone!
This feeling was so novel and magical: "Is this really a game?"
Wang Tai couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course, it's a game!" Fang Qi crossed his arms and leaned against the computer desk, smiling. A game worth seven spirit crystals was not just about realism!
But to make it easier to explain, Fang Qi gave an analogy: "You can think of it as the kind of game where nobles and cultivators hunt demon beasts in the hunting grounds."
"Hunting demon beasts? Hehe! That's great!" Wang Tai became even more excited. That was a high-end experience only nobles and cultivators could enjoy!
To prevent the fat man from playing blindly, Fang Qi explained some basics about Resident Evil, such as the purpose of firearms, what bio-zombies were, and what the Umbrella Corporation did.
The fat man had no objections to these strange names, as the names in Dalin were also quite strange.
But the grand and novel setting of a country, a research company, and a virus was far more impressive and innovative than the legends and novels circulating outside!
He could feel that these systems were not hastily set up but had a vast and complete structure!
It made him feel as if there was indeed such a world somewhere far away, incredibly real!
As the plot progressed, a team member who had fallen behind was quickly torn apart by four zombie dogs.
Sigh!
Although he had practiced martial arts since childhood and had seen blood before, the sight of a living person being torn to pieces right in front of him was still quite terrifying. Wang Tai couldn't help but draw a deep breath.
"Dead... dead!?" The immersive experience and the oppressive atmosphere made Wang Tai shudder.
Barry got separated from the team, while the two main characters, led by Wesker, entered the mansion!
"Please choose your identity within one minute." At this moment, a prompt sounded from the computer, and two options appeared before Wang Tai.
1. Choose Chris.
2. I am also a special forces member sent to investigate and have now joined Alpha Team.
This was different from what Fang Qi had played before; he couldn't choose Jill, but there was an additional mode.
"This...?" Wang Tai hurriedly asked, "How do I choose?"
"You don't even know how to use a gun, choose Chris first." As the first player, Fang Qi didn't hesitate to give a hint. "The second option is the master mode, where you have no teammates to help you, and your attributes are adjusted."
The perspective shifted, and Chris's muscular body suddenly trembled!
"What's wrong?!" The entire team was startled by Chris's unusual behavior, and all the members immediately looked over!
Wang Tai felt his perspective shift, and he was now seeing through Chris's eyes!
Seeing everyone point their guns at him, his hair stood on end!
He had just seen the power of those guns when they were used to kill the zombie dogs!
It felt like a death threat! A chill ran down his spine to his brain!
Is this still a game?!
He even doubted whether he would really die in the game if someone shot him!
"Fang Qi!" Wang Tai quickly contacted Fang Qi.
"I'm here!" Fang Qi answered leisurely.
Although it was virtual reality, the internet cafe was a public place, so there had to be an option to communicate with the outside world in the game.
"If I die in the game..." he asked, "What will happen?"
"It won't affect you, you'll just be kicked out of the game." Fang Qi replied calmly.
"..." Hearing Fang Qi's words, Wang Tai swallowed hard, "This is too real!"
However...
Being able to explore and challenge monsters without dying was like a paradise for martial artists!
"The benefits are not just these, you'll see more as you play." Fang Qi stretched lazily, and as his sleeve slipped down, his well-defined muscles were revealed, giving the impression that his arm could unleash explosive power at any moment!
The system's high-tech was not simple. If it were, Fang Qi would have quit long ago given the strict conditions.
On the other side, the fat man felt a chill run down his spine, but now was not the time to be dazed. Seeing the strange looks from the two team members, Wang Tai quickly calmed down and said, "No... nothing."
"Chris, search this area, I'll ensure the gate's safety with Jill." Captain Wesker didn't seem to take his unusual behavior seriously and instead ordered Wang Tai to perform a search task.
"Now I'm actually someone else?" The fat man marveled, and seeing the incredibly realistic scene around him, he couldn't help but ask again, "I really won't die?"
"He dies, not you." Fang Qi pointed to the screen.
"Right! Right!" Wang Tai immediately understood.
Seeing that the fat man was now in the right state, Fang Qi decided to let him be and prepared to play himself.
But just as he opened the game, he heard a pig-like scream from the side!
Turning his head, he saw Wang Tai and his chair had flipped under the table.
On the computer screen, a zombie was seen gnawing on the fat man's corpse in the corridor, blood and flesh scattered everywhere, and a large red message appeared: Game Over!
"Hey, Wang Tai, how did you end up under the table while playing?" Fang Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Tai took off the virtual device, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. Seeing Fang Qi still in front of him, he let out a sigh of relief, patted his fatty chest, and said, "I thought that was a person, damn it! I was scared to death!"
Recalling that scene, Wang Tai was still a bit frightened. The thing was incredibly strong, and even after being stabbed several times, it was unharmed, too powerful!
But...
Wasn't he just bitten to death?
He looked at himself and found no trace of injury!
"Really nothing?!" He was clearly bitten to death, but now he was completely fine!
This meant he could explore this world freely without worrying about death!
Could he really let go completely?
After all, he had practiced martial arts for so many years and was unharmed, what was there to fear?
After confirming he was safe, Wang Tai felt only excitement: "I won't die? Watch me take it down!"
He put on the virtual device again and entered the game with great enthusiasm.
