Chapter 2: Resident Evil One: Virtual Reality Remake

Start from the beginning
                                    

Since he could get a refund, why not try out the game?

He took out seven shiny crystals and placed them onto the computer desk. “Let me make things clear; I don’t care what this is. At the end of the day, it’s just a game that will only give me momentary happiness. I will not easily give up seven crystals for this if it’s not worth it!”

He was going to use this money to bribe the proctors at the exam tomorrow. However, Wang Tai was fine with leaving it on the desk for now. Fang Qi’s figure was so weak that he would almost immediately break in half from a warrior’s slap. Their combat skills were not on the same level at all!

Truth be told, he didn’t think any game could be worth this much money. All he wanted to do was find out what Fang Qi was up to.

Fang Qi didn’t get angry at what he said. Instead, he laughed, “Sure, I promise you that in the future, I’ll refund you your money even if you are just a little bit unsatisfied.”

“Hey-yo!” Wang Tai immediately burst out in laughter. Then, he glanced at the black ‘spiritual artifact’ on the desk before looking back at Fang Qi.

He said, “I, Wang Tai, will now find out what it is about this game that gave you such confidence!”

He stood up and picked up the chair he was sitting on. It wasn’t that heavy, so he couldn’t help but ask, “This thing won’t fall apart, right? Oh, it’s also a little small.”

“Small?” Fang Qi asked. With his skinny torso, he picked up another chair with ease, as if he were picking up a small chicken. Then, he put the chairs together and removed the handles in the middle, immediately transforming the two into a giant chair that was a meter wide.

Wang Tai grinned. “That’s much better.”

After letting himself fall into the chair, Wang Tai noticed that although the chair seemed light, it was actually very sturdy! It didn’t even shake when he sat down!

The chairs, desks, and even the sign outside were all provided by the system. No wonder people said that systems always provided the best of the best! These chairs and desks were so sturdy, it seemed like even an earthquake wouldn’t be able to shake them loose.

People in this world had no idea what computers were and how games were played, not to mention virtual machines.

Since Fang Qi had just opened this internet café, he decided to teach Wang Tai how to use all this stuff.

Soon, with his help, Wang Tai clicked open the Resident Evil Icon and put on his virtual machine.

[Resident Evil!]

Along with the game’s opening animations and music, Wang Tai immediately felt a heavy and creepy sensation climbing up his spine.

Then, Fang Qi helped him load the options, and the game quickly began.

The opening animation was incredibly clear. Wang Tai felt like he wasn’t observing through a computer screen; rather, he was actually there in the game, seeing the plot unfold with his own eyes!

Although the game was originally in English, everything was translated into the players’ native languages. Therefore, Wang Tai could understand everything that was happening.

Resident Evil One took place in a mansion overrun by zombies, which was the beginning of this entire biohazard epidemic.

The ‘mansion’ was a nursing home established by the Umbrella Corporation in Raccoon City with secret biochemical labs in the basement.

The first scene was Alpha Team heading over to the mansion in a helicopter, in search of the members of Bravo Team.

“What’s this? A new flying spiritual artifact?” Wang Tai marveled at the helicopters in the air with curiosity. “Is this a new spiritual artifact a cultivator created?”

However, he was thinking of something else, Did this dude find himself a powerful sugar-daddy cultivator to rely on? This thing looks super real! Even so, I’m never going to hand over seven crystals to him willingly!

As soon as the game began, a voice sounded in his ears, “Would you like to enter virtual reality mode?”

“Yes!”

“Please click [Enter].”

“Will do!” Wang Tai immediately chose [Enter] and felt the scenery around him change!

He suddenly felt like everything in front of him was at his fingertips! He literally felt like he could touch everything before him!

He was like a lost soul, drifting in the darkness. In front of him was the dark wilderness, and he saw five people lurking in the shadows.

Fang Qi recognized them; they were the members of Alpha Team in Resident Evil One!

“Oh my god!” Wang Tai almost jumped up from his chair in fear. “Why am I here?”

“Stop howling!” Fang Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Wang Tai. “If you just think [Exit], an option to exit will pop up. This is called virtual reality technology.”

The VR technology his system provided was much more advanced than the one in the world he used to live in! No wonder Wang Tai was scared by it.

Wang Tai thought ‘exit’ in his mind, and a special light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Would you like to exit?]

Feeling anxious, he quickly clicked [Exit] and took off his VR headset. Then, he looked around frantically. “Did… did I really exit?”

After a few seconds, he stared at Fang Qi in a daze. “Are you sure that wasn’t another world I was just in?”

It wasn’t his fault for asking this question; what he just saw was so realistic that it felt like he was there, experiencing everything that just happened!

Fang Qi pointed at himself and asked, “Do you think I have the ability to create a whole other world just for you to play a game in?”

Wang Tai immediately shook his head. “No!”

He had never seen something so magical, so he asked curiously, “So was that really just a game?”

“Of course it is; it’s called Resident Evil One: Virtual Reality Remake.” Although Resident Evil One was an old game, the system would never really give Fang Qi a 1990s version that blurred out all the scary parts.
