Chapter 118: The top student’s little Desktop Pet 12 (part 1 of 2)
The shape of the game cabin was a bit similar to a giant elliptical coc.o.o.n. After a person lies down in a fixed position inside the cabin, it will then read the neural information of the body and limbs based on the sensors that are connected all over the person. The very small actions that the user does in ranges of millimeters can successfully become substantial actions and operations inside the game, just like controlling a prosthesis with an easy grace. Aside from this, the game cabin also controls the central nervous system and five senses of the user. So, not only can an immersive holographic game screen be seen, even the senses of hearing, pain and smell will also be present as if it were really real.
Although the current technology has yet to reach the height like those nerve link games written in novels, which incredibly makes use of the consciousness to operate in the game. Nonetheless, being able to master the central nervous system of the human body, was already a qualitative progress. Shen Tong was finally able to immediately experienced the immersive feeling after laying down inside. The game loaded inside was that online game that had recently become very popular, which came from the game company of Feng Wenlong. As one of the early collaborators, Gu Qiange holds 15 percent of the company’s original stocks.
The reason why this game can be so popular, was definitely not only because of how the scenery, motions, cla.s.ses and every other aspect were designed with great excellence, but also because of the very high level of teamwork. Only a few boys wouldn’t be interested in playing games. Shen Tong became engrossed as soon as he entered, that he still hadn’t come out even when Gu Qiange’s meeting was finished.
However, the great drawback of this game cabin was that it’s very exhausting to use. An average person would feel dizzy or tired after playing for up to 2 hours. Even young adults with very strong mental strength, will also experience discomfort in their eyes when spending such a long time in such realistic holographic scenes. Gu Qiange looked at the time in his watch which read half past 5. An hour and half had unwittingly pa.s.sed, so, he switched off the power b.u.t.ton of the game cabin without warning.
Shen Tong had still been fighting monsters with his companions in the novice village, when his vision suddenly went dark and he was forced to go offline. The cabin had also automatically opened immediately afterwards. But as his eyes was still trying to adjust, he felt his eyes being covered by a large palm, followed by a familiar deep sounding voice that sounded by his ear: “Be good, don’t open your eyes first.”
Gu Qiange gently ma.s.saged the acupressure points around Shen Tong’s eyes before finally moving his hand away, “Is there any discomfort in your eyes?”
The warm, thick and rough fingertips of the man gave Shen Tong an indescribable sense of reliability and peace of mind, that he subconsciously shook his head. He has demonic power inside him, which naturally sets him apart from the normal people. Thus, playing the game for long periods of time wouldn’t wear him down at all, so he immediately said: “I was still in the middle of a level-up task. Why didn’t you give any notice before shutting it down? I still want to play.”
“No, you’re not allowed to play anymore. Playing for too long isn’t good for the health.” Gu Qiange’s att.i.tude at this moment was simply like a strict parent. But worried that too much strictness would make the child unhappy, so, he tried to shift his attention elsewhere, “It’s already very late, are you hungry? Let’s go have a meal, okay?”
Fortunately, the little young master Shen has always been an obedient little child since young. So he still nodded even though he looked at the game cabin with a reluctant to part expression, “Okay.”
Gu Qinage only felt very softhearted upon seeing his very well-behaved look, “What do you want to eat? I heard my a.s.sistant say that there’s a well reputed restaurant along Xiao Yun street, do you want to try it out with me?”
“No,” Shen Tong arrogantly lifted his chin up high, “I want to go back home to eat.”
Even though he was fully aware that the home the other was referring to was the Shen’s home, but Gu Qiange deliberately nodded and said: “Alright, then we’ll head home and eat hot pot, okay? My place has an entire set of unused pots. Winter was originally suitable for eating hot pots, since it’s both warm and chewy, and is a good combination to desserts and fruit juice.”
After hearing this, Shen Tong naturally felt a bit tempted to eat that hot pot, but strenuously withstood this temptation and said: “I want to go back to my house, not yours!”
“Isn’t my home the same as yours?” Gu Qiange raised his brow as he feigned ignorance, and continued the topic just a while ago, “That’s right, there happens to be a huge supermarket along the way home from here, where we can go buy a bit of hotpot ingredients and sauce……”
Shen Tong had clearly realized Gu Qiange’s intention of feigning ignorance, so he angrily stood up “.…..I can take a taxi back home.”
In spite of this, Gu Qiange held him still by the waist as soon as he got up, and pulled the other into his arms, then coaxed him: “Are you so hungry that you can’t wait? Be good, we’ll leave right away.”
Without the use of spiritual energy, Shen Tong’s strength wouldn’t be able to overcome Gu Qiange. So, he wasn’t able to break free after a moment of struggle, and had been pulled in an even tighter embrace instead. His face was like an angry steamed bun, as he glared at Gu Qiange with his very large eyes, and tried to kill him with his gaze.
But Gu Qiange kissed the youth’s forehead quite shamelessly, and said with a doting smile: “How about it? Am I still not handsome enough to be able to enter the little young master’s eyes?”
He’s starting to flirt again! How could he start flirting just after a simple disagreement, ah?! The a.s.sistant following behind Gu Qiange looked at the departing figures of Gu Qiange and Shen Tong, then suddenly recalled that cla.s.sical lyrics, –stuffing cold dog in my mouth indiscriminately.
Truth be told, Gu Qiange’s appearance only had 6 to 7 points of similarity with Han Ying, but the similarity can reach up to 90% when smiling. His smiling expression was really extraordinarily stunning too. Being looked at by those deep eyes will bring forth an illusion which makes people feel that they completely belong to him. Shen Tong slightly froze for a moment, then turned his head away and no longer looked at him, “Humph.”
The very quiet humph faintly sounded a bit squeamish, scratching the bottom of Gu Qiange’s heart till it became itchy. His breath immediately became a bit heavy, so he hurriedly calmed his thoughts. He helped Shen Tong fasten his seat belt properly, then started the car.
