In the afternoon training class, Lin Yi saw that many people still had the frustration left from fighting with tofu on their faces, and directly announced, "Boring repetitive training has limited effects and needs to be supplemented by other stimulation. So, I will get you something interesting."
"The school has purchased a new batch of equipment, Virtual Helmet."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a low discussion among the students.
"You will be divided into groups of fifty and take turns using Virtual Helmet for combat training."
Lin Yi continued, "I have set up a special battle course in the system. If you can complete all seven basic-level challenges, it proves that your source energy control has reached a critical point and you have the foundation to try to attack Stardust level."
He glanced at everyone. "Now, the first group, follow me Virtual Classroom. The remaining people, continue the previous source energy control exercises."
The faces of the first group of fifty students who were called out instantly showed expressions of anticipation and curiosity.
Most of them are outstanding players like Chen Yu, Zhou Yuxuan, Zhao Gang, Sun Miao, Adams, and they are full of desire for any new method that can improve their strength.
Those students who had not yet had their turn could only watch helplessly, feeling itchy as if they were scratched by a cat, wishing they could experience the legendary Virtual Helmet right away.
Chen Yu followed the team, his heart beating slightly faster.
As a former game enthusiast, he has a natural affinity for things like "virtual reality".
A group of people came to the renovated Virtual Classroom.
Fifty seats were neatly arranged in the room, with helmets placed in front of them. A full-time manager briefly explained the precautions and basic operating procedures.
"Put on the helmet and press the side start button. The boot program will assist you." After the manager finished speaking, he signaled that everyone could start.
Chen Yu followed the instructions and sat down on an empty seat, then took a deep breath and put on the cold metal helmet. Then, he touched the button on the side and pressed it gently.
The next moment, he found himself standing in an endless pure white space, with an elf emitting soft white light floating in front of him.
"Welcome to Illusory Realm Combat System, user, please enter your student code and name."
"Gee, this immersion is amazing!"
Chen Yu reported his student code and name, and couldn't help but admire in his heart. Although this scene is simple, the feeling of completely connecting the consciousness to another space is very wonderful.
"What functions can I use now?"
Chen Yu tried to ask.
The elf's halo flickered and he replied, "To detect student permissions, your current available functions are as follows:
Real time battle
Challenge Mirror
Challenge training levels
Challenge Endless Mode
View the leaderboard
"Oh?"
Chen Yu's eyes lit up. As a senior game fan, he immediately smelled something familiar from this concise list.
Isn't this PVP, PVE, and the classic tower climbing, and it even has rankings.
"Absolutely." He couldn't help but whisper and said impatiently, "Check the rankings!"
The elf waved his hand, and a translucent virtual screen appeared in front of Chen Yu.
The screen is divided into three lists:
Versus win rate list (blank)
Level challenge list (blank)
Endless Mode time list (blank)
"Sure enough, no one has made the list yet. Everyone is experiencing it for the first time."
Chen Yu is gearing up and very excited. In the past, when he played games, he would definitely hit the rankings.
Then, he tried the second function. "Open real-time battle."
The screen content changed, and a vertical list appeared, with names clearly displayed on it: Zhao Gang, Sun Miao, Zhou Yuxuan, Adams were the first group of students who entered this virtual space with him.
There is also a numerical value (0 wins, winning rate? %) displayed after the names of these people.
"Yes, I'm really good at PVP!" Chen Yu was eager to give it a try, but after thinking about it, he held it back for now.
After all, as I said before, the focus is on training levels, so take a quick look at other functions and then start training.
Then, he turned his attention to the third function. "Challenge Mirror."
The list changed again, and this time, only a lone name remained on it.
Lin Yi (number of times challenged: 3)
"Huh? The mirror of Lin Yi? Someone has already challenged it? Are there three more?"
Chen Yu's curiosity was instantly peaked.
Although Lin Yi Lin Da Principal clearly reminded us to focus on training levels, but.
"Go in and take a look, just take a look and experience Brother Yi's strength. It shouldn't be a problem, right? Anyway, with my strength, it won't take long to challenge him, even if it's a mirror image." Chen Yu found a reason for himself.
"I want to challenge the Lin Yi mirror!" Chen Yu said excitedly.
"The command is confirmed. The mirror challenge is about to begin. I wish you good luck." After the elf finished speaking, the figure disappeared.
The pure white space instantly fades and reorganizes like ink.
Chen Yu found himself standing in the center of a huge, simple blue stone arena, surrounded by a blurry, seemingly endless void-like background.
And about ten meters in front of him, a figure turned from virtual to solid and slowly condensed - it was Lin Yi who was wearing ordinary dark gray training uniforms and had a calm expression.
Although it is a virtual mirror, the eyes and temperament are the same as those of a real person, even with an invisible sense of oppression.
Chen Yu's heart was beating fast, feeling excited and nervous at the same time.
"Although I definitely can't beat him, if I can fight against Brother Yi, even if it's only for a second, that's awesome! Haha, I will be the one who has competed with Principal in the future."
He even imagined in his mind how he would brag to others in the future.
Then, Chen Yu took a deep breath, put on a defensive posture, and secretly circulated energy throughout his body, staring closely at "Lin Yi" on the opposite side, preparing to face the stormy attack.
Right above the arena, a huge translucent digital countdown appeared:
3
2
1
The moment the word "1" disappears--
Chen Yu felt that his eyes suddenly went dark!
He didn't even have time to react. He didn't see any movement in the Lin Yi mirror, didn't feel any energy fluctuations, and didn't hear any sounds.
There is only a cold system prompt:
"Challenge failed."
Then, the darkness faded away, and pure white filled the field of vision again.
He returned to the initial space and guided the elf to reappear in front of him.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning, so fast that one wonders whether the brief darkness just now was an illusion.
Chen Yu was stunned on the spot, and it took several seconds to react.
"No, this, this is the end. It's over?"
Chen Yu subconsciously touched his body, which was intact.
He quickly called up the "Challenge Image" list again.
Lin Yi (number of times challenged: 18)
Chen Yu couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Good guy, in such a short time, the number of challenges has jumped from 3 to 18. It seems that I am not the only one seeking death."
