To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 432: Chapter 259 A Whole New Experience_1

An hour later, Gao Tianyuan climbed out of the gaming pod with a dazed look in his eyes.

He moved as slowly as a sloth, his face wearing a smile enigmatic as a mystery, seemingly still immersed in the beautiful dream he just had, unable to wake up for the time being.

Standing by to help with data analysis, Mysterious Mirror looked at Gao Tianyun in this state and asked with concern, “Boss Gao, are you alright? Do you need an ambulance?”

“I~feel~very~good~”

Gao Tianyun spoke very slowly, his tone carrying the laziness and weariness unique to someone just waking up, sounding languid.

Mysterious Mirror wanted to ask a few more questions to confirm Gao Tianyun’s condition, but saw him wave his hand and say, “Leave~me~alone~just~let~me~enjoy~this~a~bit~longer~”

Gao Tianyun swayed in place, fully reliving his recent dream, until at last, four hours later he gradually returned to normal.

During this time, the engineers began to check Gao Tianyun’s condition, going over the electrocardiogram and brain waves thoroughly, concluding in the end that there were no issues; in fact, everything was exceptionally good.

Ongoing observations of Gao Tianyun’s physiological condition in the gaming pod revealed that he managed to reach the ideal values provided by the machine throughout the process, numbers not only harmless to the body but actually beneficial, allowing the user to rapidly rest during deep sleep.

The data was overwhelmingly impressive and difficult to comprehend, but after several more experiments and data analysis, they had to acknowledge that it was real—some people could incredibly push the numbers to the theoretical peak.

After repeating the experiment hundreds of times, they found that under this ideal condition, the probability of players successfully entering virtual reality increased to 30%, a figure that already held commercial value and allowed them to proceed to the next step of their plan.

However, before moving forward with the plan, the engineers on-site looked curiously at Boss Gao, who, though back to normal, would occasionally flap his arms as if ready to take flight at any moment.

The other volunteers also displayed various degrees of alteration, which made the engineers wonder if the level of realism inside was really that high?

And after trying it themselves, they unanimously agreed that it was indeed that realistic.

The game simply involved transforming into some kind of animal on a vast prairie—perhaps an aquatic fish, a bird in the sky, a beast on the land, even an ant beneath the soil, or a towering baobab tree.

The bizarre simulations allowed their minds to empty completely, forgetting the tension and fatigue of human life, and embarking on a unique adventure as flora and fauna, massaging their souls deeply.

Even upon waking from the game, they remained immersed in the dream-like sensations, with some even carrying over certain feelings from their dreams into reality.

Mysterious Mirror saw several engineers begin to try licking up water with their tongues, while a few staff members proudly showed off their lab coats, now doodled on with colorful markers as if they were their plumage.

Looking at the lab, now half zoo, Mysterious Mirror realized how fragile human consciousness really is.

It’s a good thing I’m not human, or I’d be in trouble.

Once everyone’s state had normalized, the atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Fortunately, no one had done anything too outrageous, otherwise, there might have been real danger.

Many chose to take leave to avoid the awkwardness, while Gao Tianyun for the first time realized that too high a level of realism wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

The human brain is incredibly sensitive—even a realism level of just 30%, if pushed to the limit, was too early for current humanity.

When work hours arrived, Gao Tianyun found Fang Cheng and informed him of their situation.

After learning of Gao Tianyun’s experiences, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but comment, “The human Primordial Spirit is indeed fragile.”

“What?”

“Never mind. Uh, I’ll help solve this matter since I’m quite interested in it. As for the commercialization part, you should discuss it with Xu Qingling. She already knows the cost of the machine is steep, so she has some ideas she wants to discuss with you.”

Facing Gao Tianyun who came to inquire, Xu Qingling began by saying, “Boss Gao, the pricing of the machine is too high; it’s not affordable for mass adoption.” @@novelbin@@

“But that’s already the cost price! Any lower, and I might go bankrupt.”

“It’s true that initial costs for developing new equipment are high, but 2.4 million is still an exaggeration. Don’t worry about funds, there’s plenty of money on the studio’s accounts, investing in you should sustain for quite a long time.”

Once he confirmed Xu Qingling’s investment, Gao Tianyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Virtual reality technology was a bottomless pit, consuming money at an alarming rate.

His VR integrative machine, although selling well, couldn’t fill the gap, and without a turnaround, he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Even though he knew Fang Cheng Studio was wealthy, when he learned they had invested twenty billion in the initial phase, he was still stunned as he asked, “Does gaming make that much money?”

“What else?”

“No wonder you’re my close friend… Miss Xu, I’ll go ramp up production right away! I promise to use good steel on the blade’s edge!”

Xu Qingling sighed, “Boss Gao, producing this now is courting death!”

“Why would it be!? It’s such fun—I’ve personally tested it over a dozen times! Every time I finish playing, I feel refreshed, reinvigorated, and in great spirits. Isn’t such a fantastic thing worth mass producing?”
