Chapter 1222: Virtual Reality Instance Challenges
Jin pressed a few more buttons and strobes of lights were shone throughout the hall to create a mystifying effect though it was just aesthetics to boot while Kong Rong’s colleagues entered into the Virtual Reality Instance. The System had already pinged and started to see the number of agents going into the server.
While that was happening, Jin gave all control to Yun as he returned to the Dungeon Maker Instance to ensure that he had eyes on all the souls that had entered the Virtual Reality Instance. After all, this was the first time there were more than a few participants playing the instance and he got to ensure that it at least ran smoothly.
The System did bring up the idea of allowing his minions to do the heavy loading test to ensure that everything goes well but Jin procrastinated on the issue. If he had done that earlier, this particular testing would not give him much anxiety especially when the room was full of the country’s top armed service agents.
Imagine if something were to happen and he incapacitated the entire group of agents, causing him to be the next most wanted criminal in the country. Forget about being a Panda Lord, it was best for Jin to simply move out of his world and to the other so that they would not catch him for the accidental crimes he committed. Proving innocent might be possible but it would reveal a lot of nasty secrets which each and every Royal Zodiac Clan and potentially the world would come after for. Jin would not be surprised if people started to try inter dimensional travel using him as an excuse so that they could pour resources into it.
“All participating users had been teleported into the loading instances and are now choosing how their current avatar would look like.” The System reported and Jin requested it to turn on time dilation magic in that hall.
“Would that be a wise decision? Subjecting participants to time dilation magic would inadvertently reduce their lifespan.” The System asked.
“Not as if they have time to enjoy this in the future. Besides, the reduction of their lifespan is minimal compared to the System subjecting ME to time dilation magic.” Jin argued and the System countered by saying that it had monitored each and every vital organ on Jin, indicating that there was no change in its physiology as compared to the others.
“And the System had repeatedly stated that the User is not affected by the intense use of time dilation and compression magic.”
“Lol. There was one point in time I thought you would know how long I would live but it seems like you only looked at the changes and predicted how long I could live.” Jin said and told the System to go ahead with it and a large mystic circle instantly appeared in the hall of the massage chairs, activating the time dilation magic so that they could enjoy the Virtual Reality Instance even more.
As expected, most of them did not take into account Jin’s advice and many were stuck in the avatar customisation menu where they were seen admiring their new body and testing out all the features that were given to them. With the exception of Ke Loong who had already chosen the ‘studdest’ of stud bodies the customisation menu could present and enter into the village that Jin had created.
Unlike the time when Jin entered, the village now had a few NPCs just like how Nian’s Island was. All the previous experience that Jin had accumulated from making dungeon instances would take place in this particular village.
Obviously, there were currently no NPCs but one with an exclamation mark bubble on top of their heads since it was part of the tutorial which Jin had created. That was one of the reasons why he was also so preoccupied with it and the intensive use of time dilation magic. With only one person working as the ‘graphics’ artist, quest designer and story developer, there was no way Jin could have created this within a month or so.
Thankfully, the technical difficulties and hiccups were mainly solved by the System while the headset production was taken care of by Ke Loong’s Sea Mesh company where he purposely outsourced all the various parts and subsequently Pandapolis imports those parts to do the manufacturing. While Sea Mesh also dealt with a small production of the headsets which Kong Rong and his colleagues were using now, they were similar to the portal gadgets where Jin had purposely put a material out of their current world so that people would not be able to reverse engineer it.
Even if they could, without that vital component, it would not be able to fully replicate the capabilities of the Virtual Reality Instance. Even so, like the portal gadget, the System was in control of the instances and without the same technology or magic that the System employed, there was no way for them to create another Virtual Reality instance unless multinational companies pour billions of dollars into R&D to reach the same level as Jin.
Thus, Jin had already future proofed himself by at least ten years with the Virtual Reality Instance if he could establish it properly. The only thing he needs now is to start it up properly. Perhaps just one small village right now, but with the ambition to combine the Virtual Reality instance with a real environment just as how he and the System discussed creating a space station to handle the workload, there was a lot on his hands to take care of and there was only so much one human could do.
Jin was hoping that with the introduction of the Virtual Reality Instance to Kong Rong’s department as well as Ke Loong, he might be able use it as an opportunity to broaden his connections so that he could employ people with the right expertise into his cause and create the largest ever dungeon instance in the world via his Virtual Reality Instance.
