Chapter 156 Virtual Reality Pod

Shi Feng was rendered speechless by Heizi's excited report.

Even if Heizi didn't tell him now, he would know once he entered God's Domain. There was no need for Heizi to come all the way to tell him.

"You didn't make a special trip just for this, did you?" Shi Feng asked.

"Of course not. Shuishe-jie said that always using an advanced virtual helmet would affect your strength and improvement, since the virtual reality is only 90%. But the virtual reality pod has 97%, so she's been handling the purchase of a virtual reality pod for a while now." Heizi laughed. "But this thing is in such short supply right now. Even with Shuishe-jie's connections, we only managed to get five. So I brought one over for you first. The staff have already installed it in your apartment. You can use it today."

"Virtual reality pod? Where did you get so much money?" Shi Feng asked in shock.

Although he had left a lot of money in the studio's account, it definitely wasn't enough to buy five virtual reality pods.

A single virtual reality pod cost three million credits, and they were in very short supply. Because the manufacturing difficulty was extremely high and required rare materials, it was far beyond what an advanced virtual helmet could compare to. So the production was always low, and they were limited sales every day. Almost as soon as they left the factory, they were bought up by major consortiums.

Many people must be wondering why this is?

It was obviously such an expensive thing, only improving the realism by 7%, yet it was so popular.

Shi Feng didn't understand before either. What difference could that 7% make? How much could it improve a player's strength?

Why bother wasting money on that?

But once Shi Feng used a virtual reality pod, he never had such ridiculous thoughts again.

Because that 7% difference was like heaven and earth. Someone had done a special test. The same expert performing a combat power test could only exert 71% of their combat power using an advanced virtual helmet, but after using a virtual reality pod, they could exert 75%. In addition, the virtual reality pod not only allowed players to better exert their combat power, but also allowed their combat skills to grow faster. It also had excellent auxiliary effects on the development of a player's brain potential, the recovery and improvement of physical fitness.

If Shi Feng had used a virtual reality pod earlier, he wouldn't have been stuck at the peak of Tier 3. Back then, Shi Feng had been so focused on God's Domain that he completely ignored the importance of physical fitness, allowing his body speed to deteriorate year by year. By the time he realized the problem, it was too late...

"All the money was paid by Shuishe-jie. Shuishe-jie said that our Zero Wing Workshop is the number one workshop in Jin Hai City, and a famous guild in White River City. If others knew that the president of the dignified Zero Wing Guild was still using an advanced virtual helmet, it would be embarrassing to say, and people would laugh at us. So a virtual reality pod must be purchased, and you must use a virtual reality pod. This is a matter of face for our Zero Wing Guild." Heizi spoke logically, leaving Shi Feng completely unable to refute.

"Alright, I'll accept the virtual reality pod, but all the money must be returned to Shuishe. The cumulative income from the White River City guide I compiled still has more than two million credits. Transfer that to Shuishe first, and I'll find a way to get the rest of the money." Shi Feng really needed a virtual reality pod right now, but he had no way to buy one. Since Shuishe Rose had already bought one, he would accept this favor, but the money was non-negotiable and had to be returned.

However, he really didn't have much money now. Although he had earned a lot before and received the fifty million credit compensation from Twilight Echo, it was almost all spent on buying the studio's property, plus the added God's Domain equipment and so on. He didn't have much money left, but he did have a lot of gold coins. If he exchanged them for credits, it would be more than enough.

But he wouldn't do that, because the time remaining for his epic quest, the "Gospel Project," was running out. After several large expenses, the number of gold coins he had was getting further and further away from thirty thousand gold, so it was impossible to use gold coins to exchange for credits again. He could only think of other ways.

"Hahaha, Brother Feng, it seems Shuishe-jie really understands you. She knew you would say that, so she also said that she didn't do anything before, but she took 5% of the shares of the Zero Wing Guild, which is considered her investment. If you really want to repay her, turn Zero Wing into a guild that surpasses Twilight Echo. That would be the greatest reward for her." Heizi laughed when he heard Shi Feng's reply, which was about the same as Shuishe Rose had guessed. "The virtual reality pod has already been installed in your apartment, and I've told you everything. I'll go back now. You, this shopkeeper, don't know how busy the guild is right now."

After speaking, Heizi trotted away from the apartment complex.

"Surpass Twilight Echo?" Shi Feng muttered as he watched the direction Heizi left.

His goal was not just to surpass Twilight Echo, but there were still many things in White River City that had not been resolved, especially how the Underworld was too quiet during the battle for White River City. This was not like the Underworld's style at all.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Shi Feng also turned around and walked into the apartment building, back to his rented apartment.

Inside his rented apartment, Shi Feng indeed saw a white virtual reality pod that was 2.5 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high, quietly lying in the bedroom. He would never need to use an advanced virtual helmet to play God's Domain again.

Inside the virtual reality pod was nutrient fluid, as well as a life value and health monitoring device. Even if he played God's Domain for an extended period of time, he didn't have to worry about hunger or physical discomfort. Instead, he could get plenty of rest and recovery.

Moreover, with 97% virtual reality, players would reach a new level in their five senses, especially their adaptability to their body in God's Domain, which was almost on par with their real body.

With the virtual reality pod, Shi Feng could finally exert his true strength.

Looking at the virtual reality pod, Shi Feng looked around at the furnishings in the room. The whole apartment felt empty and bare. It was completely mismatched with the expensive virtual reality pod. On the contrary, a single virtual reality pod was enough to buy this apartment.

"It's almost time." Shi Feng looked at the time. It was already 8 PM. It was time to enter God's Domain. He then walked to the refrigerator in the kitchen and took out the S-grade nutrient solution from the metal suitcase.

He put two bottles into the refrigerator and opened one bottle and drank it down in one gulp.

Compared to other nutrient solutions, the S-grade nutrient solution was very special. Not to mention the taste, even though it was stored below 0 degrees, when he drank it, it was like swallowing a flame. From his mouth all the way to his stomach, it felt like being burned. There was no comfortable feeling at all. Instead, it was a stinging pain, and this feeling quickly spread throughout his body. Even his skin was slightly red. He felt like there was a heat flowing through his body, clearing all the toxic substances in his body and restoring cell vitality and life potential.

This sudden improvement in physique allowed him to jump from 256kg to 302kg, which was a huge leap.

Everything required balance, and the human body was the same, with losses and gains.

Improving so much at once would definitely put a lot of pressure and damage on the body. Originally, Shi Feng had planned to buy A-grade nutrient solutions to slowly recover, but now he could save all of that.

One bottle of S-grade nutrient solution was enough to fully recover.

"It's been a long time since I drank it. I almost forgot the burning sensation of the S-grade nutrient solution." Shi Feng smiled faintly. Although his whole body was stinging, he had never felt so good. As for the remaining two bottles, Shi Feng planned to leave them for his parents, so that their physiques could also be improved, and they could recover from the fatigue of working hard all the time.

Then, Shi Feng lay down in the virtual reality pod and connected to God's Domain.

The treasures dropped by the Mechanical Slaughterer were waiting for him to identify them one by one. After all, it was a drop from an Aberrant. In addition to the two-hour holding time, it could not be unsealed and identified for use within twelve hours in God's Domain. Logging in at this time meant that the dropped treasures would be almost unsealed.

The drops from an Aberrant made Shi Feng excited just thinking about it. In his previous life, the drops from just an ordinary mutated monster made countless large guilds drool. Now it was a mutated High Lord, and Shi Feng had no way to judge what level it would reach.
