The Game Helmet Really Arrived!

The number of reservations was displayed beside the reservation button.

Reservations: 0

Chen Qing's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

The game claimed to be 100% realistic and required a Game helmet to log in. It was obviously false advertising.

If it was false advertising, shouldn't the reservation count have been in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions?

What did 0 mean?

Had they suddenly become so honest?

If the reservation count had really been in the hundreds of thousands or millions, Chen Qing might have simply laughed and closed the webpage. But that 0 had sparked his curiosity.

What exactly was the game company up to?

With that in mind, he clicked the reservation button.

Making a reservation required a name, phone number, and address for mailing the helmet.

The game was in its closed beta phase. Closed beta slots would be drawn from reserved players. Those selected would receive a Game helmet from the official team for free, with no charges whatsoever.

There were also two special reminders at the end.

First: To ensure the Game helmet could be delivered successfully, please provide your real address and phone number.

Second: Each helmet was unique to its player. Please keep it safe. If the helmet was damaged or lost, you would automatically lose your eligibility to play.

Chen Qing frowned.

He had to provide his phone number and address?

Could this be some scam website collecting personal information?

"Taking one step forward is dusk; taking one step back is life..."

Just as he hesitated over whether to fill it out, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and answered.

"Da Qing, we're one short for a five-man LOL squad. Get over here! We've been @-ing you in the group forever, but you haven't responded."

The voice of one of his gaming buddies came through the phone.

"Wait a moment. I'm reserving a game."

Chen Qing said.

"A game? What game? Is it fun?"

The other person asked eagerly.

Chen Qing was a well-known player in the online gaming world. During the closed beta stages of many games, he would be invited to test them.

If even he wanted to reserve it, then there was a good chance it was a great game!

"It popped up in an ad. It's called Human Race Rising. It claims to be a 100% realistic virtual reality game, and you need a Game helmet to log in."

Chen Qing answered as he filled in his information on the reservation page.

After giving it some thought, he decided to make a reservation and see what happened.

It wasn't because he believed the game truly existed. He was simply curious what kind of trick the game company was pulling.

When he talked about it with his gaming buddies later, it would at least give him something to chat about.

He kept his guard up and did not enter his exact house number. Instead, he entered the delivery station at the entrance to the villa complex.

"100% realism? Logging in with a Game helmet? Isn't that just the setting from those old Online game novels? Da Qing, you don't actually believe a game like that exists, do you? With current technology, it's impossible! I'm guessing it's either a gimmick or a scam!"

The person on the other end said.

"Of course I don't believe it. I just want to reserve it and see what the game is really up to."

Chen Qing said.

Savage World.

After successfully releasing the game, Lin Feng continued studying the system.

He discovered that he could not summon players into this world endlessly. The system imposed certain limits on the number of players.

The current maximum number of players was thirty.

As the tribe's sphere of influence continued expanding, the maximum number of players would continue increasing.

"Thirty is enough for now."

Lin Feng thought.

Players were uncontrollable. Summoning too many players at the start might not necessarily be a good thing.

He decided to summon a single-digit number of players first and use them as test subjects to experiment with the system's various functions.

Once he had mastered all the system's functions and established a complete set of rules, it would not be too late to summon more players.

As the game's administrator, he possessed many permissions.

The first was the authority to issue quests.

Through the system, he could issue all kinds of quests to players.

The system would automatically generate experience rewards according to a quest's difficulty.

However, the system only provided experience rewards. Any additional rewards such as money or items would have to come out of his own pocket.

Besides that, he could freely set one or more reward values.

For example, honor points, points, contribution points, merit points, and so on.

Of course, the rewards those values could be exchanged for would also have to come out of his own pocket.

In other words, the only reward the system could provide was experience.

Besides the quest system, there was also a title system.

Lin Feng could create any title he wanted and grant it to players.

Titles with no additional attributes were completely free, and Lin Feng did not need to pay anything extra.

If you can't find a book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It may have simply been renamed!

Titles with attribute bonuses, however, required Lin Feng to exchange his own experience points according to the strength of their bonuses.

After the system activated, Lin Feng also gained his own status panel.

Name: Lin Feng

Race: Human Race

Realm: Mortal Realm

Level: 3

Experience: 110/300

Strength: 11

Constitution: 11

Agility: 11

Intelligence: 11

According to the system settings, the initial level was Level 0, and all four basic attributes started at 5.

As the system host, every time he leveled up, all his attributes increased by 2.

Players were different. After logging into the game, they needed to choose their primary attribute.

After leveling up, their primary attribute increased by 2, while their other attributes increased by 1.

Besides the status panel, after the system awakened, he also gained an exclusive quest system.

At that moment, there was only one lonely quest on the quest panel.

Quest Name: First Batch of Players

Quest Type: Main Quest

Quest Requirement: Reach 5 game players (0/5).

Quest Reward: 300 experience points, Rhinoceros Leather Armor x1.

The quest rewards were extremely generous.

Three hundred experience points would allow him to level straight up to LV4.

The Rhinoceros Leather Armor would greatly increase his defense and survival ability.

He glanced at the game's official website. The reservation count was 4, and it had not increased for more than ten minutes.

He sighed softly. It seemed the first batch of players would be these four lucky people.

He was in no rush. Once the four lucky people entered the game and saw just how real this "100% realistic" game was, they would definitely be eager to recommend it to their friends.

Reaching five players was only a matter of time.

Just as he had prepared himself to complete the quest later, the reservation count flickered.

Reservations: 5!

Lin Feng was overjoyed and granted the five people permission to play through the system.

The system would automatically deliver the helmets to the players. As for how it delivered them, that was not something he needed to worry about.

Blue Star.

"Ding-dong."

A message notification sounded.

Chen Qing picked up his phone and opened the message.

"Your delivery has arrived at the station. Pickup code: 5-8-1130."

A delivery?

What delivery?

I haven't bought anything online recently!

After thinking it over, Chen Qing suddenly remembered the game he had reserved more than an hour ago.

Could it be...

Had the Game helmet mentioned on the official website arrived?

So quickly?

He put on a coat and left the villa.

More than ten minutes later, he returned to the villa carrying a box.

When he opened the box, there was a black Game helmet inside. It looked cool and futuristic, filled with a sense of technology.

A manual sat beside it.

Chen Qing opened the manual.

The instructions were simple. He only had to put it on his head.

The final page of the manual specifically stated that after entering the game while wearing the Game helmet, his body would enter a state of deep sleep.

Even if he stayed up all night, he would wake up refreshed the next morning!

Chen Qing held the helmet in his hands and examined it carefully.

He had reserved the game only because he wanted to see what the game company was really hiding.

He had never expected the game company to actually send him a Game helmet.

In less than two hours!

Still, would this thing suddenly explode if he put it on?

After a brief struggle, he gritted his teeth, raised the helmet, and put it on.
