Real VR Experience Hall

In an ordinary university town in Minnesota, USA, Qiao Lu was riding a silver mountain bike, galloping like a whirlwind on a not-so-wide trail.Qiao Lu is a junior at the University of Minnesota, plus two years in high school, he has lived in Laomei for three years, and he is half American.

"Joe, there is a dance at school tonight, will you come?"

"Something happened at night, another day."

Qiao Lu drove past the teaching building and the small playground. When he arrived at the school gate, a blue-eyed, blond female student greeted him.Qiao Lu waved his hand and continued to gallop forward.

After a while, Qiao Lu turned three blocks and came to a video store named 'SK'.

The whole store is not big, about [-] square meters, and it is packed to the brim.There was soothing music playing in the video store, Qiao Lu opened the door and went in.

"Joe." The elderly owner of the video store, who was browsing the news, greeted him after hearing the movement.There is only such a video store within a ten-kilometer radius of the University of Minnesota. Qiao Lu frequents it often, and has become friends with the store owner.

"Is what I want here?" Qiao Lu put his schoolbag on the lounge chair beside him and asked excitedly.He was pacing back and forth with his feet, obviously very excited inside.

"Just delivered this morning. Are these made in China? There are no such glasses in Minnesota now. I asked someone to buy them from the electronics market in Los Angeles." Divide left and right packing boxes.

The box was opened after three times, five and two, and inside, there was a [-]cm gold and silver glasses.The lines of the glasses are smooth, finely made, and the appearance is full of science fiction.

Qiao Lu took it out and looked at it carefully. In addition to the smooth lines, there was also a grass-style logo in the upper right corner of the glasses. Below it was a string of letters, with several characters printed on it: VR-001.

Looking at the VR glasses he just got, Qiao Lu became more and more satisfied.

"Joe, I took a look at the production site. Is this independently manufactured by you Huaxia? If you want to buy new equipment such as VR glasses, I suggest buying from the United States and Japan, and Germany is also fine. As for Huaxia... Joe, with all due respect, Huaxia His technological strength is not so developed." The owner of the video store looked at Qiao Lu's excited expression, thought for a while, and couldn't help persuading him.

The owner of the audiovisual store is a native of Minnesota. From his inherent cognition, he really can't understand why Joe asked him to buy a local Chinese VR glasses.

"Huaxia is different from before." Qiao Lu twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.He knew that the owner of the video store had no malicious intentions, but after living in Minnesota for five years, Qiao Lu also knew that most Americans were prejudiced against China.

Apart from studying, Qiao Lu's biggest hobby is diving among his high school classmates.After the difficult college entrance examination, most of the former high school classmates were scattered all over China.Everyone is a colorful look.

Qiao Lu went abroad early, and he didn't have a deep relationship with his classmates, and he only got in touch after college.Most of the previous classmates discussed popular majors, graduation internships and so on.But during this time, Qiao Lu was surprised to find that the students gradually switched from discussing their studies to a game called [Horror Food Island].

The handsome and extravagant William Wonka, the blood-red hot pot lake, the towering mountain of rice cakes... The students discussed enthusiastically, and even met to go to Wonka Castle to hang out together.

Qiao Lu didn't take it seriously at first, but a week later, he found that the discussion about "Gourmet Island of Horror" was still happening in the classmate group, and it was becoming more and more serious.Qiao Lu felt his heart itch, so he climbed over the wall to have a look.After searching the keywords, Qiao Lu realized that [Horror Food Island] is not only popular among classmates, but also in Huaxia.

Qiao Lu knows how to play and loves to play.Seeing his classmates exchanging game experience every day, he couldn't help it... Qiao Lu was about to let his classmates transport one by air, when he saw the news on the official website of [Horror Food Island].

VR-001 will be released in the US.Although it was a small-scale sale, Qiao Lu was still extremely excited.After calculating how to buy it, Qiao Lu asked the owner of the video store to buy it for him.At this moment, he only hopes that VR-001 is worthy of his expectations...

"thank you boss."

"Hehe, isn't this the top student Qiao Lu? What are you doing out of the management class now? Let me take a look... Huaxia's

VR-001?Haha, don't you Huaxia like to hide your trademark the most?Now it actually prints Made in China on the packaging box. "

After checking that the glasses were correct, Qiao Lu handed over one hundred dollars to the owner of the video store, and then prepared to go back to the apartment.At this moment, a joking voice sounded in the ears.Qiao Lu turned around, and the person who came was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a sky blue baseball uniform, and it was Corin, the main player of the school baseball team.Qiao Lu and Corian are neighbors, and the two have been at odds for the past six months because of some trivial matters.

After seeing Corian, Qiao Lu didn't reply, but carried the schoolbag on his back, and then left without looking back.

"Arrogant Chinese. Boss, did Qiao Lu buy VR glasses just now? Are there still any in the store?" Keruien looked at Qiao Lu's back, muttered a few words, and then turned to the owner of the video store.

Corian also likes to visit this video store, but he has been here so many times, and he didn't know that SK also sells VR glasses.The packing box that Qiao Lu was carrying just now was too conspicuous. Not only were the English characters of 'Gale VR' marked on it, but even the Chinese and English words of 'Made in China' took up the space.In short, the outer packaging of this VR glasses is really amazing!

"No more." Here, the owner of the audio-visual store replied while checking the accounts.This VR glasses was purchased by him, and there is only one copy.

"I want these two discs, and this record." Hearing that, Corian shrugged.If not, there will be no more, this is just a small episode.

Corian's shrug made him regret it a week later.If the time was rewound, he should have strongly demanded the owner of the video store to buy a copy!

……

"Horror Gourmet Island, charging standard: 300 Huaxia Yuan once. Free time, 12.01-12.31..." In an ordinary apartment in Minnesota, Qiao Lu washed up briefly, then lay down on the bed and read the description of VR-001.

Three hundred Huaxia Yuan... It's almost fifty knives in US dollars, which is not cheap.Qiao Lu checked the time, it was 12.20, and the Horror Gourmet Island was still free.

After reading the VR-001 manual carefully, Qiao Lu put on the VR glasses excitedly.

……

"Ding, welcome to the Horror Gourmet Island, dear tourists and friends, the wonderful dream is about to start." Suddenly, Qiao Lu came to a huge white mist square.Surrounded by white mist, Qiao Lu was shocked by the scene in front of him.

He raised his right hand, his fingers were bent, and the fingers in front of him were also bent...

Qiao Lu was in a trance.He has played many VR games in Minnesota, but no matter how advanced the game equipment is, the pictures presented still let him know that it is fake.But now... Qiao Lu felt that he had time-traveled.

Suppressing the excitement inside, Qiao Lu followed the guidance of the interface and pressed the start option.

"Are you also here to visit Gourmet Island? Dear adventurer, you are welcome to Horror Gourmet Island." The game continued, and Qiao Lu found himself standing on a swaying boat surrounded by a scarlet sea of ​​blood. The Chinese man introduced to Qiao Lu while shaking the oars.

Qiao Lu looked around, besides him, there were two men and a woman in the whole boat, one of them was a young couple, they were all typical Chinese compatriots.

"Are you an NPC?" Qiao Lu collected himself, and then asked curiously to the man with the oars.He had seen the strategy before, and knew that there were many simulated NPCs on the Horror Gourmet Island, but the strategy and reality were two different things.This NPC looks too much like a Chinese.

"Me? I'm from China's Zhejiang province." The paddle man waved his hand and said indifferently. Today, Qiao Lu is already the fifth tourist who mistook him for an NPC.

"Then why are you here?" Qiao Lu was surprised, the man paddled skillfully, Qiao Lu thought he was an out-and-out NPC.

"For Yunlai coupons. Is this your first time here today?"

The man looked at Qiao Lu and asked very familiarly.Qiao Lu nodded quickly.

"Yunlai coupons are issued by Wonka Castle. Tourists can get Yunlai coupons by receiving tourists, maintaining the law and order of the castle, and tidying up the road... In short, it is these bits and pieces of work to get Yunlai coupons. Yunlai coupons can be obtained at the end of the free event After that, offset the game fee."

Now there is still some distance from the gourmet island, the man put down the oar in his hand, and patiently explained to Qiao Lu.At this time, two men and a woman next to him listened to the man's explanation, and they all surrounded him.

The rules for Yunlai Coupons had just been posted at Wonka Castle three days ago.Interested tourists can go to the castle management office to find an NPC to register.Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't be lazy, you can get a Yunlai coupon if you do it for three hours.A Yunlai coupon can be worth half an hour of game time. In addition, tourists can get the honor value of Horror Food Island for working in Wonka Castle.

You can get game discounts only after accumulating a certain amount of honor points.

"Look, this is the registration badge issued by Wonka Castle. As long as you have this badge, it means that you are a Wonka Castle...well, a temporary worker."

The man with the paddle looked around, then pointed to the badge on his arm.He has been working for six hours today, and he can exchange two Yunlai coupons.

"The game doesn't cost 300 yuan for half an hour? You can just spend the money, why bother." After the oar man finished speaking, the three men were thoughtful, and the only girl on the boat muttered in a low voice.If you have this time, you might as well play more games.

"You are a rich man." The paddle man gave the girl a blank look. Of course he knows that he can play games if he has money, but the key point is that he has no money.

The oar man stopped talking, but continued to paddle forward vigorously.Moments later, the boat reaches the edge of Gourmet Island.Qiao Lu stepped down and looked into the distance, the black forest in front of him was divided into two.In the distance between them is a colorful fantasy castle.There is a sculpture of a man in a top hat at the top of the castle.Qiao Lu recognized him.He is the spokesperson of VR-001, William Wonka.

"It's really edible. I've never eaten such pure chocolate."

"The taste is a bit bitter, but very refreshing."

"This cobblestone can also be eaten, it's a bit like a sesame ball..."

Just as Qiao Lu was feeling emotional, he saw two men and a woman who got off the boat together just now picked up the stones by the sea, and started to eat them excitedly.Admiring while eating, in addition, there is a circle of dark chocolate around the mouth...

"Qiao Lu?" Qiao Lu bent down and gouged out a piece, it was indeed delicious.At this moment, a surprised female voice sounded from behind.Qiao Lu turned around, and the person who came was wearing a set of women's denim clothes, and his hair was tied into a simple ponytail. He had a good temperament and a good figure.

"Zhao Xiaowan?" After seeing who came, Qiao Lu was also very surprised.The person who came was his high school classmate and goddess. After he went abroad, he inquired about Zhao Xiaowan and knew that she was in Luohai University.Qiao Lu thought that the two would never meet again.Unexpectedly, I encountered in the game...

"Let's go to Wonka Castle together?" Although Qiao Lu had a crush on Zhao Xiaowan for a while, the two of them didn't say anything when they were classmates. When they met again this time, Qiao Lu invited him out of nowhere.

"Okay." Zhao Xiaowan sized up her old classmate and agreed with a smile.

……

During this period of time, Corian was not happy, because he found that none of his friends from the baseball team came to practice.In the beginning, one or two friends had a stomachache, but Corian didn't care about it, but gradually, he had to accompany his parents to Los Angeles, his girlfriend celebrated her birthday, and her grandmother was sick...

There are more and more reasons to ask for leave, until today, the entire baseball field leaves him alone.Kerian looked at the empty baseball field with a dazed expression.
