Chapter 527: Chapter 499: Experiencing the Game Helmet

The sound from the gaming helmet was one thing, but the visuals were absolutely stunning; he couldn’t believe they were being transmitted directly to his retinas.

Fang Chenyi knew that current technology was nowhere near capable of creating such a helmet. No such tech existed. Not even in the US, which boasted of having the most advanced technology in the world.

After determining the images weren’t actually being transmitted to his retinas, Fang Chenyi continued to experiment.

’How do I download games? Will my current games be supported?’

Fang Chenyi mulled this over. ’If this thing is really connected to my brainwaves,’ he thought, ’then the helmet should be able to read my thoughts instantly. My thoughts must be the command interface.’

Sure enough, as soon as the thought formed in his mind, the view before him changed. The line of bold text vanished, replaced by something like a screen of light. Not only that, but the female voice spoke again in his ear.

"Hello, Master. I am your devoted Spirit Throne. You can call me Xiaoling. Xiaoling is delighted to be of service to Master."

The pleasant female voice paused for a moment. Then, before Fang Chenyi could even marvel at the helmet’s intelligence, the screen in front of him began to scroll.

When he could see clearly, he discovered rows upon rows of game icons had appeared before him.

And among them, Fang Chenyi was surprised to see many familiar icons.

These were all current games, including titles for both PC and mobile.

’What does the helmet mean by showing me this? Does it mean I can try any of these games?’

The question had barely formed in Fang Chenyi’s mind when the helmet’s voice answered him:

"A total of 9,120,000 compatible games have been detected for Master. After downloading, Master can begin the gaming experience."

’So that’s it. I can’t believe this thing is so advanced. It can even run all my current games.’

He just didn’t know what the experience would be like. Would it be like playing with VR goggles? But this was a super-helmet with 99% realism. It couldn’t just have standard VR functionality, right?

He remembered the online gaming novels he used to read, where everything was an immersive, first-person experience, as if you were really there. What kind of experience would this gaming helmet give him?

Fang Chenyi was skeptical about the 99% realism claim. It wasn’t like in the novels, where you could even feel pain after putting the helmet on.

Fang Chenyi didn’t waste any more time and scanned the small game icons on the screen. One thing made him very curious. He wasn’t sure if it was because Penguin Games now belonged to him or for some other reason, but all the games he saw on the first page were from Penguin Games.

*Honor of Kings*, *Stimulating Battlefield*—rows of Penguin Games titles filled the first panel.

This made Fang Chenyi quite happy. After all, Penguin Games belonged to him now. The more it earned, the more he would get.

Right now, Fang Chenyi just wanted to test the helmet’s effects as quickly as possible. So, without much thought, he focused his consciousness on the first game and selected "Confirm Installation." The voice in the helmet immediately followed:

"*Stimulating Battlefield* is now loading. Please wait, Master. *Stimulating Battlefield* has finished loading. Master may enter the game at any time."

The voice in the gaming helmet didn’t even pause. It had just said "loading," and not even two seconds later, it had finished loading a game that was several gigabytes in size. This was proof of its incredibly fast download speed.

However, Fang Chenyi wasn’t focused on the download speed but on the content. Hearing that he could enter the game at any time, his heart stirred, and he immediately thought about entering the game.

As the thought arose, a flash of white light filled Fang Chenyi’s vision. When he could see again, he found himself standing on a mountain peak.

Not far from him was the wreckage of a transport plane. What’s more, when he looked down, he saw he was wearing a set of special operations gear.

Level 3 armor, a Level 3 backpack, and a Level 3 helmet. In his hands, he held a fully kitted-out M4 assault rifle.

And that wasn’t all. The clothes on his body had also undergone a complete transformation.

His current appearance was a living replica of his in-game avatar.

Fang Chenyi remembered this look; it was from the game account he had created to play in tournaments.

But none of that was the most important part. What shocked Fang Chenyi beyond belief was the completely immersive feeling. It was as if he were truly standing on that cliff.

In disbelief, he reached out and touched the M4 assault rifle in his hands. A cold, metallic sensation spread through his palm, as if he were holding a real rifle.

He froze for a moment. Once he came to his senses, he incredulously reached down and pinched his own thigh. The next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his leg!

"Holy shit! Is this what 99% realism feels like? This is fucking incredible!"

Experiencing this realistic scene, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but curse out loud. The shock was simply too much for him.

After the initial shock wore off, Fang Chenyi began to look forward to the rest of the game. He wondered what the experience would be like once he was actually in a match.

He wondered what it would feel like to be hit by a bullet.

As Fang Chenyi had that thought, a virtual control panel materialized before him. On it were options to select a map and a "Start" button.

Fang Chenyi wasn’t a die-hard gamer, and for this particular game, he had mostly played the classic map.

So, he let go of the M4 with one hand. He immediately felt the weight in his other hand increase significantly.

He focused his gaze on the "Start Matchmaking" button and pressed it with his finger. Instantly, his vision blurred once more.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes, he found himself inside a very spartan airplane cabin. Looking around, he saw he was surrounded by motionless game characters.
