Chapter 201: Eclipse Immersion Pod in the Game

Max crawled inside the gaming pod under everyone’s gaze.

After Max rested his head in the neural interface halo, a thin ring of light illuminated around his head.

The gaming pod’s lighting instantly changed to blue, and Max’s consciousness was pulled into the dimension of Eclipse.

The gaming pod’s glass was completely opaque, hiding Max’s body from the viewers.

Only in danger would the glass turn transparent.

The advertising agency filmed Max’s body from different angles for a while before concluding.

However, it doesn’t mean they were finished.

They had to wait for Max to finish describing what went on inside.

Max was pulled into an otherworldly room.

He arrived in front of a desk, with a woman with a robotic personality sitting behind it.

Beside the woman were countless interfaces, which reflected the game he was playing, the adaptive neural feedback balancing, the automatic vital monitoring, and the premium sensory immersion.

Max gazed at the adaptive neural feedback and said to the woman, "Maximize everything."

The woman was taken aback.

She said, "I am your assistant, an artificial intelligence built for assisting your needs for Eclipse.

You want to maximize every option in the neural feedback system, but I wish to warn you of its heavy consequence.

Maximizing everything will affect your game in the future once your physical body suffers heavily from this decision.

It’s best to choose from the three options we personally recommend.

The balance option, the best performance option, and the hyper-realistic option.

Your decision is close to the latter, but it’s not maximizing everything; it simply prevents you from encountering a near-death experience while you are playing almost in reality."

Max nodded. "Then, let’s choose that option."

"Understood. Adjusting the neural feedback system to the hyper-realistic option."

Max glanced at the automatic vital monitoring and said in a resolute tone, "Lower the safe parameters."

The AI was taken aback again.

She gazed at Max as if he was a monster... or just a simple brainless player.

If it was not because she was already programmed with knowledge about every player and had been informed to encounter the strongest player of the one and only game she recorded, she would have thought Max was the latter.

"AI wants to remind the player that the safe parameters are already fixed. The producer does not want any accidents to happen."

Max sighed. "Fair enough."

I guess, I just have to wait for the apocalypse to descend. I should play the game as it is.

The premium sensory immersion would have Eclipse support extremely detailed sensory feedback.

Max could perceive touch, impact, weight, heat, cold, pressure, pain, and environmental movement.

The Sensory Feedback Calibration allowed the player to determine how strongly these sensations were reproduced.

Max said, "Just adjust every option that will allow me to experience the game hyper-realistically."

"Understood."

AI immediately physically adjusted every option in the interface, intriguing Max.

Once she was done, Max glanced at the interface of Apocalypse Online and smiled.

"Enter the game."

AI bowed, and Max was pulled inside the Apocalypse Online interface.

Max arrived in his Guild Master’s office.

He immediately glanced upward and saw six more hours until the first world event would commence.

He stood up and scrutinized himself.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The air of his office was as clean as his room, which was quite surprising.

At the same time, with Master Mana Sensitivity, the way he currently felt mana instantly struck him with memories of his past life.

He opened his eyes and glanced at his table.

He caressed the table’s surface and the paper and clenched his fist repeatedly.

This sensation...

Max’s body tingled with excitement.

It’s almost like I’m not playing a game but have crossed into the world inside the game with my physical body.

Max commented.

It was all possible because of the premium sensory immersion.

Of course, there were details that could not go unnoticed that reminded him he was inside the game, but compared to before, the difference was enormous.

Max glanced at the souvenir not far from him and cast the Radiant Weave to grab it.

The Radiant Weave was cast quickly, and Max could perceive how the skill was cast.

It was an addictive feeling.

It was like the difference between firing a gun in the game and firing a gun in real life.

Of course, he had not once fired a gun in real life.

He pulled the string, and the souvenir flew towards him.

Max could perceive the air around the souvenir, and its weight and impact when he caught it with his hands.

It truly felt like he was in reality.

It really deserves its status as a futuristic gaming pod.

Max chuckled.

The main reason he wanted the pod during the first world event was because he wanted to experience combat hyper-realistically when battling against demons.

When he was closer to reality, he would gain experience fighting them far more easily and quickly.

At the same time, he would get accustomed to being a Radiant Conclave before the apocalypse descended.

The apocalypse descent was far more terrifying than the full-blunt invasion of demons and monsters.

After all, despite the players gaining their class moments before the apocalypse descended, humanity still lost a lot of territory.

It’s a shame that Enzo is unable to buy the gaming pod.

Max smiled bitterly.

In fact, it would take some time to mass-produce the Eclipse Immersion Pod, and Max’s three-month negotiation would allow them to take a breath first.

Nevertheless, there were still other world events, and the Eclipse Immersion Pod should suffice for the preparation against the apocalypse descent.

Max spent the next half an hour fully experiencing the Eclipse Immersion Pod’s changes brought to his character, while gathering feedback to mention in the advertisement.

When he was finished, he crawled out of the gaming pod, and the lighting immediately changed to white.

The advertising agency crew immediately sprang into action and recorded Max’s feedback inside the game after using the Eclipse Immersion Pod...
