VGB 14: I don’t have a hyung like you. (7)

After our conversation, Dongsoo hyung led me to the room where his capsules were installed.

It was the largest room in the house.

There were three capsules set up altogether, as well as various pieces of broadcasting equipment.

Dongsoo hyung’s top-of-the-line PC, which he used for casual live streaming was also set up in one side of the room, but the game capsules were what caught my attention instead.

The capsule in my house was also the latest model, but these looked slightly different.

“It’s a capsule where the sync rate changes based on the user. This one was sponsored by <Phoenix>, the capsule manufacturer. The model name is PX-Infinity. It’s not commercially available yet.”

PX? That was a terrible name for a capsule.

However, the concept was amazing.

How could the sync rate be adjusted to the user’s body? Other capsules were limited to a pre-set rate of 10%.

Seemingly finding my reaction entertaining, Dongsoo hyung said,

“Let’s get you in and set up. This capsule needs to be personalised.”

It was definitely different from other capsules.

I followed his instructions and climbed in. The level of comfort wasn’t any different from other advanced capsules.

As soon as I pulled on the headset and accessed the interface, I saw an unexpected message window pop up in front of me.

[InItializing synchronisation with capsule.]

[Please select an option to proceed.]

I looked at the chatbox and said casually,

“Ah, that 7%’s a waste. It would have been 100 if I’d gotten 7 percent more.”

Hmm.

Should I have been a little more arrogant? I was a little bit disappointed.
