I Don't Believe a Game Like This Exists

"I'm telling you, this game is absolutely insane!"

Chen Qing shouted excitedly at his phone.

Other than insane, he could not think of a more fitting word.

He could not wait to get his friends into the game so they could expand territory together!

"What? Whose fortress got taken?"

An excited voice rang out, carrying a hint of Mature woman's voice.

The last two members of the group had joined the call as well.

The owner of the Mature woman's voice used the group nickname "Su Ziye," the only female player in the group.

When she joined, she had not heard what Chen Qing said before that, only the words "absolutely insane."

She immediately asked excitedly.

The final group member's nickname was "Super Invincible Pili Pala Tyrannosaurus Warrior."

"Insane? Hahaha, is it really that exciting?"

He laughed.

"Ye Zi, Tyrannosaurus, quit messing around. I'm talking business here!"

Da Qing shouted.

"How surprising. Our group actually has business to discuss?"

Su Ziye sounded astonished.

"Let's hear it."

"Alright, but don't be scared by what I'm about to tell you!"

Da Qing prepared them mentally in advance.

"Spit it out!"

Ranger urged him on. He was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open.

"Yesterday, while I was looking for a game, I happened to see a pop-up ad for one. It claimed to be a virtual reality game with one hundred percent realism, so I got curious and signed up for it."

Chen Qing said.

Even now, he could not understand why such an incredible game was advertised through something as low-grade as a pop-up ad.

They had made a game this amazing, yet they could not spare a little money for promotion?

"Is this the game you told me about yesterday? It sounded like a scam the moment I heard it. You actually signed up?"

Chen Qing's words woke Ranger up a little.

When Chen Qing had signed up for the game yesterday, Ranger had been on a voice call with him.

"I thought it was false advertising too, but after I filled out the registration form, a Game helmet was actually delivered to the courier station downstairs!"

"The game servers opened at eight last night. The moment I entered, I was completely stunned. The developers weren't lying—this really is a virtual game with one hundred percent realism!"

Chen Qing shouted excitedly.

???

On the other end of the call, the four of them were completely confused.

"What Game helmet? What virtual game with one hundred percent realism? Do you even hear yourself right now?"

"I only slept for one night. How did such a huge generation gap suddenly appear between us?"

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe and Su Ziye spoke one after the other.

They understood every single word Chen Qing said, but once he put them together, none of it made sense.

A virtual game with one hundred percent realism?

What nonsense was he talking about?

"Have you read Online game novels? The kind where you put on a Game helmet and enter a virtual world to play?"

Chen Qing asked.

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe: "Nope. I'm not interested in that kind of novel. I prefer modern romance, classic wuxia, that sort of thing..."

Su Ziye: "Shut up!"

Super Invincible Pili Pala Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Online game novels? I've read them! Dominate the world, Thief travels the world, Melee Mage..."

Su Ziye: "So?"

"The game I'm talking about is exactly like the ones in Online game novels—actually, it's even more realistic than what those novels describe!"

"When I entered the game yesterday, it felt like I had entered another real world! It wasn't just the visuals and sounds. The touch, smell, and taste were all incredibly real too. The roasted meat in there was delicious!"

Chen Qing excitedly recounted his experience in the game.

Unless they entered the game and experienced it themselves, they would never understand that feeling.

At last, everyone understood what he meant.

But how could a game like that possibly exist?

Ranger: "Da Qing, are you drunk, or are you still half-asleep? How could a game like that possibly exist?"

Super Invincible Pili Pala Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Exactly. I'd love for a game like that to exist too, but the technology simply can't achieve it."

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe: "Even if that technology existed, why would anyone use it for a game?"

Clearly, no one believed Chen Qing.

They were more willing to believe this was a prank Chen Qing had cooked up because he could not sleep and wanted to wake them all.

"If it's real or not, you'll know once you sign up!"

"I'll send the official website link to the group later. All of you go sign up. The game is still in closed beta, so there probably won't be many slots available. If you wait too long, I'm afraid you won't get one!"

Chen Qing said.

The official site had stated that the closed beta would not wipe player data.

The earlier they entered the game, the earlier they could build an advantage.

After ending the call, he sent the game's official website link to the group.

Although the four friends in the group did not believe a "virtual game with one hundred percent realism" truly existed, they still went to the official site and filled in the registration form out of respect for Chen Qing.

They preferred to believe that Chen Qing had taken money from the game company and was helping them with false advertising.

They would just consider it supporting Chen Qing's performance.

Nothing embarrassing about that.

Savage World.

After the players logged out, Lin Feng sorted through the various tools in the cave again and told the five little ones some stories.

Only after coaxing the five little ones to sleep did he go to bed himself.

Before sleeping, he set the game's available login hours to six in the morning until eight at night in Savage World.

That was from six in the evening until eight in the morning in the real world, for a total of fourteen hours.

After all, he was not a real NPC. He needed sleep and rest too.

If he did not limit login hours, what if some players logged in during the middle of the night because they were bored, or new players entered the game? Was he supposed to never sleep?

Besides, there was nothing for players to do if they logged in at night. It was better to restrict their access and let them enjoy life properly in the real world.

It could count as an anti-addiction measure too.

Of course, the login restrictions were only temporary.

There were few players at the moment, and every new player needed him to personally guide them after entering the game. Naturally, he had to limit login hours to ensure he could rest.

Once the number of players gradually increased and the game got on track, he would no longer need to personally guide every new player.

He could assign the task to other NPCs or even players.

At that point, he could consider opening up full-time access.

Before falling asleep, he checked the number of registrations on the official website.

13 people!

That did not include Da Qing and the other five, who had already received game access.

In other words, thirteen new players had signed up for the game.

The system-provided pop-up advertisement campaign had already ended, so no new people should have been able to find the official website that way. These thirteen new registrants were probably all friends of the five existing players.

Early on, game slots were limited. Lin Feng thought it was quite good to promote the game through friends recommending it to one another.

They would all be friends who knew each other already, so they would naturally work together with greater coordination.

They would also be easier to manage.

Blue Star.

The five-person game chat group.

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe: "Holy crap, I really got a Game helmet! Isn't the delivery speed a little ridiculous? I signed up less than three hours ago, and the helmet has already been delivered downstairs to my place!"

Su Ziye: "I got one too!"

Ranger: "Same here. I just put it on and tried to log in, but the system said that during closed beta, game access is limited from six in the evening to eight in the morning."

Super Invincible Pili Pala Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "It even limits login hours? This game is pretty full of itself, huh?"

Ranger: "Da Qing, was there a time limit when you logged in yesterday? @Da Qing."

Da Qing: "The servers only opened at eight last night, so I didn't notice the login restriction. I just checked, and there really is one."

Ranger: "This game is kind of strange. What sort of nonsense is limiting game time?"

Da Qing: "It's probably an anti-addiction measure. A game this realistic might make people grind twenty-four hours a day if it didn't limit playtime, until they ruin their health."

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe: "How realistic can it really be? At most, it's probably like those VR games, right? I've played plenty of VR games. They're just okay. Still, turning a VR game into an online game is a pretty interesting idea. This game company must be impressive."

Da Qing: "VR? Heh. You'll know once you try it."

There was no point saying more. No matter how much he explained, it would not compare to letting them log in and see it for themselves.

He could not wait to see the stunned looks on their faces.
