Chapter 1: The Beauty and the Game

  Walking aimlessly in the most prosperous downtown area of D City, Wang Kai's heart was filled with depression and anger.

  After graduating from university, I came to D city and worked in a small private brand agency company. Starting from the lowest level of warehouse administrator, relying on my eloquent mouth and two legs that never stop running. Through wind and rain, I worked hard until I was exhausted! Just less than half a year after being promoted to sales manager, the boss suddenly said he wanted to emigrate and close down the company...

  He patted the envelope in his pocket, which was still quite thick, containing 15,000 RMB that his former boss had given him as "severance pay", exactly three months' salary for Wang Kai.

  Things are not the worst yet, at least before finding the next job, there is no need to worry about making a living for the time being...

  Because of Wang Kai's personality, he is just like his name 'Kai', which means lavish to the point of death. When he was in college and received his living expenses, he would immediately spend it all with a group of friends within a week, leaving him to live off others for the remaining three weeks.

  This insecure life didn't end until after I started working, but it was still "barely scraping by" at the end of each month.

  Wang Kai was preparing to go home as usual, planning to take Central Avenue and then walk through the pedestrian street back to his rented small house for a rest.

  Just as I arrived at D City's famous five-star hotel "Tian Kai Hotel", I found a large crowd of people surrounding the front, occupying the entire pedestrian path.

  Won't it be some brand's show? Wang Kai thought to himself. Having been in this line of work for 5 years, he was no longer surprised by anything. He wasn't someone who liked to join in the commotion, so he turned around and walked past from the outermost part of the crowd.

  "Sir, please stop." A beautiful woman in a black uniform suit blocked Wang Kai on the side of the road.

  "Does Mr. like playing online games?" Before Wang Kai could react, the sweet-looking uniform beauty started asking again, her soft and fluffy voice was extremely lethal.

  "I... was just about to say I don't like Wang Kai, but then I saw this uniformed beauty who looks like a celebrity, and my heart softened for no reason. Who doesn't love beauties? But it's strange, in this day and age, beautiful women are not valuable? Such an exceptional beauty hasn't been discovered by talent scouts to become a star, yet she's working on the streets as a sales guide?"

  "It's just in time, our company's large-scale simulated network game, which took six years to develop, will officially start operating in three days. Sir, you can come and experience it first!" The uniformed beauty bowed politely and made a gesture inviting him inside.

  "Hmm... okay... fine." Faced with the beautiful woman's invitation, Wang Kai couldn't bring himself to refuse. He thought that following her wouldn't cost him anything anyway, so he followed the beauty into the hotel lobby.

  Through the great hall and across a spacious courtyard, the uniformed beauty led Wang Kai into an even more spacious grand hall.

  This hall, Wang Kai has been here a few times in the past 5 years in D City. Colleagues and business partners often hold banquets here for happy events, and every time Wang Kai comes, he can't avoid giving out red envelopes. This is also one of the places in D City that Wang Kai dislikes the most, because every time he comes, he has to spend a lot of money.

  At this time, all the dining tables in the hall had been removed. The large space that could originally accommodate 48 tables for banquets was now filled with countless rest chairs similar to massage beds.

  At this time, most of the massage chairs were already occupied by people, each wearing a helmet-like hat, and several beauties in black uniforms walked among them.

  "Please lie down, sir," guided Wang Kai into a vacant massage chair by a beautiful woman.

  "Want me to lie down?" Wang Kai's heart was slightly evil, but he still lay down according to the beauty's instructions.

  "Wait a moment, sir." The beauty squatted down and took out a gray helmet from the drawer of the massage chair. Unlike motorcycle helmets, the back of this helmet was flat and there was no glass cover in front.

  Wang Kai took advantage of the beautiful woman's squatting down to pick up her helmet, and carefully looked at her chest plate - "Experience Guide Lin Zijun". Before that, he was too embarrassed to stare at the little girl's chest, Wang Kai was a shy person, usually bold and heroic among his brothers, but easily blushing when encountering women...

  Lin Zijun put the helmet on Wang Kai and said softly, "Sir, please relax your body. It may feel a little uncomfortable for a while, just like when an airplane takes off, please bear with it for a moment."

  Wang Kai nodded, the program started, and a gentle female voice in the helmet had already begun counting down:

  The part of the helmet connecting to the neck suddenly tightened, and the last bit of light was sealed off, leaving only darkness inside.

  Two red lights shot straight into Wang Kai's eyes, and Wang Kai's eyes felt dizzy. He instinctively wanted to close his eyes, but found that his eyelids were no longer under his control. Wang Kai was greatly shocked and at a loss for what to do.

  The system's gentle female voice sounded:

  Iris Lock...

  Brain neural lock...

  This service is an experiential service, users have 10 minutes of trial time, no identity verification is required.

  A ball of white light rose from Wang Kai's eyes, slowly expanding... slowly expanding... finally enveloping Wang Kai's entire body!
