"Is it really that incredible?" Wong sounded skeptical.
"If you don't believe me, try it with us."
Tony turned, pulled three helmets from a box, and tossed them to Wong and the two witches.
"Are that old lady and the fashionable woman the new teachers? You two should join us."
The two witches had barely arrived before Tony gave them nicknames.
Still, they joined Wong, carrying their helmets over to a few wooden chairs and sitting down, full of questions.
Before anyone put on a helmet, Tony laid out the plan.

"So, Wong, you'll replace Luo Ji. Old lady, you'll replace Ye Wenjie. Oh, right—you do speak Chinese, don't you...?"
Tony and the others' obsession was just a glimpse of what was happening across the world.
After Stark Industries officially released the Virtual World Helmet,
the whole world erupted.
People discovered that the advertised virtual reality really did simulate reality completely.
At least, it did as far as human senses could tell.
Players put on their helmets and finished the beginner tutorial.

one look around was enough to make anyone wonder if they had returned to reality.
Touch, sight, smell, hearing, and taste all felt utterly real.
In the adult version, even jerking off felt real.
Once players left the room, they were transported to a vast cyberpunk city.
Intelligent programs sold all kinds of drinks, food, and services there.
The food tasted exactly as it did in real life.
Apart from having to buy it with in-game currency,
there was practically no downside.
As for that cyberpunk city's currency,
players could earn it either by clearing games bundled
