Zhang Wei had just returned from work. He gave the package in his hands a vigorous shake, then weighed it in his palm, the puzzled look on his face deepening.
The package was not heavy, square and neat, weighing perhaps one or two pounds at most.
The box's packaging felt remarkably good to the touch. It was clearly not ordinary cardboard or plastic, but some matte material he had never encountered before—warm and smooth like skin.
This alone could not have been cheap. At any rate, he could not think of anyone willing to go to such lengths just to play a prank on him.
"Is this for real?"
"What was it again? Equipment from some holographic game project team?"
"Which company?"
He muttered to himself before finally shaking his head.
"Tch!"
"Looks like I can only open it and see..."
Before long, he found a box cutter and swiftly tore through the seals and tape.
"!!"
The instant the box opened, he could not help sucking in a sharp breath.
Inside the box lay a visor.
It was not the bulky VR helmet he had imagined, nor was it some cumbersome device that needed to be connected to a computer. It was light, streamlined, and entirely black, with no ports whatsoever—like a prop taken straight out of some sci-fi movie.
Its lenses were covered in fine patterns almost invisible to the naked eye. Under the light, those patterns refracted a faint, ghostly blue glow, like some kind of ancient runes.
"Hm?"
Then he noticed a card tucked beneath the visor, with several lines of gold-stamped lettering printed on it:
