The Beta Programme for the Virtual Reality is slowly becoming a hit. This was mainly because of the limited quantities of the Virtual Reality Pods that Qiu Yue had made but even though Jin was not there to facilitate, Qiu Yue did a brilliant job pushing for more of it.
What's more was that Ke Loong, the CEO of SeaMesh had decided to pour more resources into it. Inc. had always been a company that Jin and Ke Loong had created but they never really pushed for it as much as they would want to.
One of the people who was desperate to see Jin was undoubtedly Ke Loong himself as he was the one who wanted to work and improve the VR headsets. They initially had made plans to push the VR headsets as the main gimmick for Inc but now that Ke Loong saw how the headsets had eventually become pods, it felt like he made an investment loss.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, that investment loss was not something of a big number and he could see much potential for the amount of money they could make from getting the Virtual Reality Pods out. The only problem was that the city that was making this was Pandapolis and not any other countries that Ke Loong knew of.
So while all he needed was to inject money as an investment, it kind of hurt his plans including the connections and promises he made to the Virtual Reality Headsets. That was where Qiu Yue came to save the day.
She might not know much about computers but the Virtual Reality Headsets was something that could be installed for a particular game that Jin had worked on previously and didn't fully complete it. The Supa Robot Wars.
Eventually, they need to return to the Mecha World as it was a potential dungeon instance where they could be the bad guys rather than the good guys and those Virtual Reality Headsets could be used alongside the Mecha Robots that they create. Rei, the engineer and designer for the Mass Manufactured Mechas, had taken a look at the Virtual Reality Headsets and found that they were actually useful for Virtual controls to connect with the Mechas he had built.
In fact, with a little tinkering, the Virtual Reality Headsets can complement the cockpit and it could reduce the number of controls, buttons, and switches needed for piloting the Mechas. Thus, Qiu Yue even with some extra budget on her hand after cleaning up most of Jin's mess had decided to once again wipe his ass and make a contract with Ke Loong on those Virtual Reality Headsets. This way, Ke Loong's trust in Jin's store was renewed and he did not exactly make a financial loss.
The only problem now was that his suppliers would have no idea what those Virtual Reality Headsets would have gone to since none of those items would be in the market. But because of business confidentiality, they were unable to know where it was being gone after it had been manufactured. Their most probable answer is that it was being handed to the military and they were not off the mark. Just not the military they will ever see.
And since the Virtual Reality Headsets issue had been resolved, Ke Loong could finally put in some investments into the Virtual Reality Pods as previously mentioned. At first, he thought money would have solved the issue but he had also seen how the world was more complete compared to what Jin had offered him to see previously.
Additionally, Qiu Yue told him that it was a separate entity of AI that is governing the world so there was no need to worry about not having the resources to run a full scale world. In fact, if they were to move globally for this VR MMORPG fast enough, they could be in the top percentile when it comes to games.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmObviously, that would be a huge responsibility that they had to undertake but the potential was there and Qiu Yue wants to expand within Shenzhen Province for now. When Ke Loong asked if it was okay to buy Virtual Reality Pods and placed it at home, the Red Cultivator was not able to give a definite answer and even the System was rather quiet about it.
"It all depends on Jin but from the way I see it, it's better to make shops that handle this." Qiu Yue replied. "We can create dimensional instances that allow the storage of a few thousand Virtual Reality Pods and they are within the System domain. If we were to allow portable Virtual Reality Pods, the security might not be as tight and people would want to try to break it down and learn more about the pods. If you get what I mean."
"So, it's more about protecting trade secrets." Ke Loong said and Qiu Yue nodded her head, now understanding the rationale of popping up stores.
"Plus you had seen how people could go for hours inside that Virtual Reality Pod but when they emerged from the pod, it was a matter of minutes. I think that is important to keep in check other the government will come haunting us and the clampdown would be insane."
"Then what we need is flexibility within the game then. Otherwise, this will only be a game and the initial purpose of the Virtual Reality Headset would be rendered half completed." Ke Loong commented.
"I think the gaming platform itself would be a good avenue for other things to start. From what I see, there are skills that need to be learned and not gifted so it's still a decent learning platform. But this is just the beta, so we would not know anything about it until the full game comes out. However, I can tell Jin about your concerns. Maybe he will do something about it." Qiu Yue said as Ke Loong thanked her. But knowing Jin, he would definitely put the gaming aspect first to seize the minds of many people.
