Jay suddenly experienced a taste of something from another world. The vision he saw was one I had specifically asked Maria to create with a travel destination as a motif.
A battle between transferors and monsters sent for a mission. The intention was to push the challenger into that chaotic battlefield and immerse him into the illusion that fantasy was momentarily reality.
And Jay faithfully followed that intention. He followed along so well that I was a little embarrassed.
‘I didn’t know you would wake up screaming that loudly.’
These days, there are a lot of works coming out overseas with themes like dimensional travel and the like, so I thought the challenger might come to his senses, but since Jay doesn’t know much about that, it seemed like he was really hooked.
‘is not it? Rather, if you were a fan of this genre, would you have shouted it out right away when you were first asked to say the status window?’
I slowly tilted my head.
Having actually seen such a case at the tower, I couldn’t deny it. This is because it was definitely a production that would make fans of this genre feel proud.
Anyway, no matter what anyone says, the highlight of this content was the moment when Jay shouted out the status window.
Jay’s close friends giggled and made fun of him. I felt like I would probably be teased by my friends about this for a while.
“Hey, Jay, did you like that?”
“I thought it was just exercise, but I was surprised.”
“Aight. really… Do you want to try it? There’s no way I won’t get caught by this!”
Jay grunted, hiding his embarrassment. He seemed a little shocked when the challenge ended, but now he was standing in line again to try again, probably because he thought it was just an amazing experience.
The other students also burst into laughter when Jay woke up and shouted loudly at the status window, but that was it.
Those waiting were watching through monitors and speakers outdoors, so they did not feel the same sense of presence that Jay experienced, but they understood that the sense of immersion was unusual.
That’s why the fantasy that Jay experienced had a story and excitement that was almost like a movie.
“I understand. It really felt real.”
“Right? Honestly, it was more exciting than most movie battle scenes.”
The reason Jay called out the status window in the first place was to help the human side, which was being pushed back, fight. I just laughed because it was a funny situation, I wasn’t really laughing at it.
Some were wearing helmets, hoping they too would get the same illusion as Jay.
“I wish something like that would come out. Honestly, it looks a lot more fun than the others.”
“I think it would have been funnier if a real status window had appeared there.”
“Status window, status window, status window… I also have a status window… !”
‘This is all going to become memories.’
I smiled happily while looking at that.
The funny scenes didn’t end there. Besides Jay’s status window, I was able to find a few more useful things for the video.
There was a challenger who screamed when he saw the bundle of money pouring into the fire pit and jumped forward to stop it, and there was another challenger who must have been hungry and was tempted by the table filled with delicious food.
The latter probably didn’t even smell like food, so I don’t know why I was deceived, but I understood that it meant I was that immersed in it. I took off my helmet and stood there feeling helpless, so I took out a snack from my inventory and gave it to him. He must have been very hungry, so he ate hungrily.
Every time such a scene appeared, laughter erupted from the waiting students. Later, even students who had used all three opportunities continued to watch other people’s challenges without leaving their seats.
Olivia said while looking at it.
“Glitch is a great company. Developing technology like that? Honestly, if that is commercialized, won’t all existing VR companies go out of business?”
“Competitiveness is somewhat outstanding. I think it will go in the direction of being absorbed rather than completely ruined.”
Even as I was playing with Olivia for a moment, Maria was already working on expanding Awaken’s influence. From now on, we are planning to expand the scale and industry, so there will definitely be quite a big change in the industry.
Still, I think there won’t be a big problem since we’ve told them to avoid going in a direction that would cause too many people to lose their jobs if possible. With Maria’s ability, she will be able to expand her influence even if she doesn’t necessarily introduce new technologies in every industry.
“And Minho is great too. If Minho lends such an important item so easily, that means Minho is an important person to a company called Glitch, right?”
“I was lucky enough to meet someone.”
Listening to Olivia’s words, I was looking forward to the reaction when I edited and uploaded this content.
Although it was said that there was no sponsorship, it became content that indirectly promoted Glitch’s technological prowess. As the video is uploaded, more people will become interested in glitches. The speed at which the streaming industry gets its share of the pie will also become a little faster.
After watching the students’ challenges for a while, we organized the content after seeing that the waiting line was noticeably shorter than before.
Although some who participated late showed signs of disappointment, the record itself was not bad because they were able to mentally prepare by seeing the illusion of the challenger on the monitor as they participated late. It just seemed like a shame that I couldn’t complete the three challenges, like looking at a coupon that couldn’t be used.
What followed was a time to hand out the goods that had been loaded onto the trailer. The atmosphere was good because we had prepared enough goods to go to a sufficiently large number of students, even if not all students.
I left the distribution of prizes to the staff and approached the students I had my eye on and conducted interviews.
“Do you like the product?”
“Yes! It’s something I’ve always wanted, and I really like it! Thank you!”
“Good. You lasted for quite a long time in the illusion earlier. Did you have any know-how?”
“I was told that the timer wouldn’t run out if I closed my eyes, so I defocused as much as I could and held on! Suddenly, the leopard lunged at its face and fell… Still, I am satisfied with the product I received!”
“Focus… I’ll have to refer to it the next time I do similar content.”
“Oh… !”
“Thomas? You said your name was Thomas, right? I think I had a vision earlier of falling into a well full of snakes, but he survived very well. How did you do it?”
“Oh, actually, I was so surprised that I almost woke up right away… If you look closely, it looks a little different from a real snake. The actual snake’s face looks a bit cute, but the snake in the fantasy has an evil face, like something out of a typical cartoon… In fact, it was easier to endure.”
“You have excellent observation skills. I guess you’ve always been very interested in that.”
“Yes. I would have been able to endure it longer if I hadn’t heard the hissing sound in my ear when I let my guard down, but it’s a shame. The sound was so vivid that I thought it was a real snake licking my ear.”
“Still, you like the product, right?”
“Of course! Thank you so much.”
“Nice to meet you! There was a scene earlier where handsome men were seducing each other. It really seemed like he was holding on without even blinking. How did you do it?”
“I’m not interested in men. Because I’m a lesbian.”
“Ah, I see… I didn’t quite figure that out. Next time, we should make both handsome men and beautiful women appear at the same time.”
“Well, I think a man of your caliber might consider it.”
“Ahaha… I’m going to go interview someone else now.”
During the interview, an unexpected reaction occurred, and Olivia pursed her lips, but quickly responded by leaving the room.
Of course, Jay was also interviewed while receiving the prize. I especially gave him the product myself.
Since all the fantasies were selected at random, it wasn’t my intention for Jay to see the fantasy, but I also felt a little sorry because I felt like I was deliberately teasing him.
‘I’m still going to use the video though.’
“Now, our ‘Hero Jay’ should get the prize too, right?”
“Ugh… thank you… !”
As if Olivia’s story about him being my fan wasn’t a lie, he nodded with an expression of emotion when I shook his hand and asked for an interview. He seemed to have thought nothing of calling the man who called out for Sang Tae-chang a hero.
“… … .”
If you react like this, you’ll feel sorry for bringing up the story further. I just said that it would be nice to do content together again if the opportunity arises and patted him on the back. When I took a selfie with him, he almost fainted.
That was the end of distributing the goods.
I looked at the students still remaining and raised the loudspeaker again.
“All the small items went to their owners. But there’s still one more special product left, right?”
gulp.
No one answered, so there was silence for a moment. But that wasn’t because I wasn’t interested in what I was saying, rather it was because I was too focused.
That’s because the last prize was a light green Lamborghini that I drove through the front gate.
I spoke while looking at their heated gaze.
“The special game we will start now is ‘Tag’.”
