Chapter 8 Mission Accomplished

The maid smiled, and she had a calming aura, as if she was not simply a product of the game setting, but a being with her own consciousness.

No, how could AI have its own consciousness? This should also be an in-game setting, allowing NPCs to live and work like humans.

But this is too detailed. If you didn't know that this was a game world, you would definitely think it was a real person.

"Of course you can. If you are a player who prefers fighting and adventure, I recommend that you first adapt to the in-game combat by fighting wild monsters. After you level up, you can challenge difficult mazes and bosses. They all have rich drops and considerable experience income," the maid replied with a smile.

"Of course, if you are a player who doesn't like fighting, you can also take on some non-combat tasks to upgrade."

Zhang San continued to ask after hearing this: "Is this just a level-up and monster-killing style game? Are there other things that can't be experienced in reality?"

"Of course, this world is full of possibilities." Lisa continued with a smile. "You can try to synthesize potions, explore scenic spots far away from the battlefield, or even participate in fishing and cooking, and experience a tranquility and satisfaction that is completely different from fighting."

“You can even jump directly from a high mountain without any real safety equipment to experience the thrill of bungee jumping, or dive into the deep sea without breathing equipment. There are many more things that you can’t experience in reality waiting for you to explore.”

Yes, my thinking was completely limited. I thought that the process here was the same as that of traditional RPG games, following the main storyline to fight monsters and adventure.

But this is a completely hidden virtual world, and everything that can be done in reality can also be done here!

At this point, Yuuki Shozo completely believed in the stealth helmet, and the next thing to do was to explore how "real" it could be.

"Thank you for your answer. As far as I can see, the place we are in now is called 'Starting Square'. I want to go explore the wild now. Can you show me a route?" Zhang San asked again.

"Of course, that direction leads to the exit of the city. I wish you a safe journey." The maid bowed and walked aside to continue waiting.

With a clear goal in mind, Zhang San headed towards the city gate. He wanted to try more in this game.

After that, Zhang San was completely immersed in the game. After leaving the main city, he encountered a "wild wolf" on the small road. Without knowing the existence of skills, he defeated it with just one sword.

He came across a fruit tree in the forest, climbed up using his hands and feet, picked the fruit, put it into his mouth and tasted it slowly. He thought it was just a prop that could restore his life, but the sweet taste spread in his mouth.

As we ventured further forward, we came across a pool of water. The water was so clear that we could feel the coolness of the water by putting our ankles under it.

……

Before I knew it, half a day had passed and the sun had already set outside.

The servants in the house have prepared dinner: sandwiches exude an enticing aroma, sautéed vegetables and salad are arranged in beautiful patterns on the plate, and cream of mushroom soup is steaming gently.

Asuna's mother, Kyoko Yuuki, sat at the dining table with her daughter, holding a newspaper in her hands but feeling strange.

Zhang San, who used to eat together on time every day, is now nowhere to be seen.

It would be better to say that he has been missing since he went upstairs the whole afternoon.

"Asuna, can you help me?" The mother asked gently while tidying the table. "Can you call your father down? Tell him that the food is ready. I don't know what he has been doing upstairs all afternoon."

Asuna nodded. She didn't expect that her father would spend an entire afternoon testing the stealth helmet and still not finish it. She went to the second floor and wanted to wake up her father who was lying on the bed.

Zhang San in the game received a prompt from the helmet that he was disturbed in reality, so he chose to log off.

He rubbed his eyes, which were a little blurry after just opening them, and saw clearly that it was his daughter. "It's Asuna. What's going on?"

"Well, my mother asked me to tell you that dinner is almost ready." Asuna conveyed her mother's message gently and seriously.

"Oh, really?" The father was a little surprised, but soon regained his composure and looked at the setting sun outside the window. "Okay, tell your mother, I'll pack up and go home right away."

"Yeah." After hearing the news, Asuna walked out of the room, returned to the first floor and sat at the dining table in the living room.

The mother smiled with satisfaction, "What a good boy, you helped your mother a lot." She returned to her busy work, and Asuna was happy to help. She placed the tableware on the dining table, and everyone's seat was neatly arranged, looking extremely expectant and warm.

During the meal, Jingzi mentioned what happened in the afternoon, "You are already an adult, and you still let your daughter invite you to dinner."

"I'm sorry. I tried the game Asuna recommended to me this afternoon and accidentally got immersed in it." Zhang San touched the back of his head to apologize.

Kyoko sounded a little unbelievable, because she knew her husband was not the kind of person who would be addicted to games.

Zhang San saw Kyoko's surprise and continued to explain: "The technology of that game is really amazing. It can really replace the five senses and completely immerse you. I didn't believe it at first, but I ended up getting addicted to it."

"I can really feel everything in the game world. I can touch the sword and go on adventures, see the scenery along the way, and even taste the fruit. If this technology is made public, it will definitely change the world."

"By then, such products will be as popular as mobile phones in every household. Moreover, people with physical disabilities can also use them because their brain nerves are not damaged. In this way, they can run and jump in the game. It can even become a second home for people with physical disabilities."

"If it is used in education or the military, I can't imagine how big the market will be!"

Even Kyoko hadn't seen Zhangzo so excited for a long time. Since Zhangzo started working, he has gradually become more stable and calm. His steady personality has been ingrained in her heart. It is hard to imagine him talking so eloquently now, with no sign of stopping, and even not taking time to eat.

"Asuna, is that thing really that powerful?" Kyoko couldn't help but ask her daughter after hearing her husband's comments.

Asuna could only smile awkwardly, as she herself had never tried it before.

"By the way, Asuna, there's something I can't understand. Are you very familiar with this creator? If he is a famous scholar or scientist, he could have directly approached the company for cooperation, but the other party asked you to convey it." Zhang San asked his daughter.

"Ah... that is, the relationship between us is... that is... anyway... that is..." Asuna didn't say it in the end.

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table.

"Good boy, I was wondering how such a good thing could happen, now I understand how it is." Zhang San jumped up angrily.

"Calm down, you shouldn't get angry now." But just as she was about to stand up, she was held down by Yuuki Kyoko: "The fact that he can come up with something that you can't stop praising shows that he is a very capable person. It's not a bad thing to have contact with Asuna."

Hearing her mother's defense, Asuna thanked her, "Thank you, Mom."

"Listen to me first. Although we have no objection to your contact, we still need to see what kind of person he is. We will never allow our daughter to associate with someone with corrupt morals." Kyoko's voice sounded again.

"Don't worry about this. Kirito is definitely someone you can trust," said Asuna.

"So your name is Kirito." This was the father's voice.

"Ahaha." Asuna noticed that I had let the cat out of the bag and could only smile awkwardly: "Kirito just happened to want to talk to you about the helmet. I'll make an appointment with you."

After saying that, he fled back to his room.
