Chapter 102 2/2

However, the 000 version had never been ranked because it surpassed all other holographic cabin versions. It claimed to achieve a perfect 1:1 representation of reality and the game, whether in visuals, smell, or touch.

In other words, if one could own the 000-version holographic cabin, the Polar game world would truly become a second real world.

Could players resist such an opportunity?

Could they not go crazy for it?

Even Wang Kaixin, who had always just enjoyed the scenery and strolled around, was the same. The first time she appeared was when the World Maintenance Officers participated in the competition. In a match where everyone gave up and quit, only she and another player persisted.

The maintenance officer took the initiative to get to know her and learned that her name was Wang Kaixin. Since the next match was a team competition, they decided to team up.

In the next match, they met the top player, whom no one wanted to team up with, and also encountered the talented twins.

The game’s official levels were carefully designed, involving strategy, cooperation, and even various historical and peculiar knowledge.

After experiencing many challenges together, the group became friends.

They gathered and talked about why they wanted to obtain the holographic cabin. The maintenance officer said she liked collecting all kinds of devices, but the 000-version holographic cabin wasn’t available on the market. So, she wanted to get it through this opportunity.

The top player wanted to be the best at everything. Although he didn’t care much about the holographic cabin, he had to compete when there was a chance for everyone to compete together.

The talented twins simply wanted to get the 000 version and disassemble it for research.

Although their reasons were different, they all showed determination to succeed.

The maintenance officer felt that to sleep well, she had to collect the complete set of holographic cabins. The top player wanted to be crazy if someone else won, and the talented twins considered it a rare research opportunity that they would be crazy to miss.

When Wang Kaixin was asked, she said she was about to start working at a company that didn’t allow the use of holographic games. So she wanted to experience what a holographic cabin felt like before retiring from the game.

These peculiar but talented people naturally collided with each other. As the plot deepened, Wang Kaixin, the only one without exceptional talents, gradually became the core of this temporary team, relying on her personal charm.

But to the audience watching, it all seemed quite natural.

Wang Kaixin was just an ordinary person, and she never hid that fact. Even during the competition for the 000 holographic cabin, while the other teammates showed a certain level of persistence, she maintained a calm attitude of “being happy if she got it, and it’s okay if she didn’t.”

Many lines, even from the perspective of an observer like Yu Miao, watching along with the plot, felt meaningful.

“You don’t actually need to worry about liking to collect things. Living with something you like and having a goal is very happy and enviable.”

“If you want to do something, just do it. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad; the important thing is that you did it.”

“I used to be a dancer, and now I’m a warrior.”

“Angry? It’s normal to be angry. I’m angry too. So let’s get mad together and outsmart those guys.”

“No matter what, we still need to eat.”

After watching the plot unfold, it was indeed quite exciting, especially with some high-IQ settings and sudden reversals. As expected, it reached the “tranquility” level in the end, and, unsurprisingly, it was Wang Kaixin who passed it.

In the end, Wang Kaixin happily obtained the game holographic capsule, but her teammates were all happy for her.

The maintenance worker no longer struggled with his collector’s obsession, and the leader was no longer worried about not being able to get first place and being looked down upon by others. The twins finally learned to eat well and take care of themselves.

It was quite a good and satisfactory ending.

If a rating were to be given, the plot would at most score an eight for Yu Miao, not reaching the epic level of “The Cultivator” and “Interstellar Battle.”

However, its setting, along with the various character designs, combined with the incredibly realistic scenes, as if experiencing them firsthand, means that if Yu Miao could only choose to repeatedly watch one movie, she would definitely choose “The Player.”

In the final scene of the game, Wang Kaixin stepped onto the holographic capsule for the first time. She carefully touched the grass on the ground, felt the leaves on the tree, picked up a rabbit, and walked out step by step.

Friends came to celebrate with her, and when they saw Wang Kaixin tirelessly dancing on the grass, she extended her hand, inviting them to join her.

In the end, she said she was about to enter a busy job and would retire from the game.

Friends were reluctant, but because Wang Kaixin had long said similar things, everyone wasn’t very surprised. In the end, they danced for a long time before bidding a reluctant farewell.

Finally, Wang Kaixin turned around, took a few steps, and smiled as she looked at the sky.

“The sky looks so beautiful.”

Five days later, several of her friends received the holographic capsule usage rights transferred by Wang Kaixin. Each person received a message from her in the game.

The movie should have ended here.

All the audience thought so.

Until the last scene, accompanied by a beep.

The audience saw the game log-out page that they had watched many times appear again.

Then there was a bright light.

“March 4, 2052, 10:03 AM.”

The white light focused on a person wearing a white coat, bowing his head to record: “Patient Wang Kaixin has passed away at the age of 83.”

Crying came from beside the bed, and loved ones held the weak, wrinkled hand. Someone cried out, “Grandma…”

“Don’t be sad. The doctor said it’s a miracle that the old lady held on for so long.”

“Hey, when I came last year, the old lady kept talking about wanting to dance. How could she dance at this age?”

The camera gradually moved to the bed. The old woman’s cheeks were sunken, obviously suffering from illness, but her face had a peaceful smile, as if sleeping.

Yu Miao was completely stunned.

Wang Kaixin, who always seemed happy every day, thinking optimistically about everything, and seemed to have the least demand for the holographic capsule, turned out to be an 83-year-old grandma.

Moreover, she was a grandma plagued by illness.

All the little details about Wang Kaixin in the movie, as well as the details of the dialogue, rushed into her mind in an instant, and everything became clear.

She recalled the question the maintenance worker asked Wang Kaixin.

“Is your workplace far away?”

“It should be far, but I think when I go there, I will be very happy.”

Yes, she was happy. When she could stand up again, smell the flowers, see the sunlight, and dance recklessly in the warm sunlight, her smile was so happy and content.

The significance of holographic technology was vividly demonstrated in this segment.

Until the lights came on and Hall 10 was bright again, Yu Miao was still in a state of great shock.

Most of the other audience members were like Yu Miao, and a small number of faster-reacting ones had already moved on to the next step in the process.

Some were enthusiastically discussing with their companions, some were wiping tears with tissues, and some had already started walking out while talking on the phone.

“Wow! This movie is so good! And do you know what the special scene is?! It’s holographic projection! Holographic projection! No, it’s not a small event; it’s real holographic projection, using holographic technology to let us watch movies! Just like real!”

“Ah, ah, ah, ah, it’s true! I’m not joking! I’m not lying to you! It’s really holographic! No! It’s really true! You won’t believe it until you buy a ticket yourself, no! Don’t buy it; I want to watch it again and again and again!”

Only then did Yu Miao recover from the plot of the movie.

Yes!

This 299 special scene is holographic projection, and she needs to quickly tell her relatives, friends, colleagues, and online friends.

And add a sentence: This movie is also great! It’s worth watching!

All over the world, all the viewers who had finished the special scene, like Yu Miao and her friends, took out their phones and were shocked to post.

Those who were constantly asking online, “Have you finished watching?” “What is the special scene?” “What kind of movie is it to watch, not to mention the network is down; why isn’t anyone posting?” “There’s a funny guy saying the special scene is holographic, playing mysterious.”

Yes, because the holographic projection was too shocking throughout. Although the audience had their phones with them, only a very small number of them thought of posting messages online while watching the movie.

This resulted in them posting, but no one believed it at all.

After all, everyone naturally thought that holographic projection was a futuristic technology that could not appear in reality. Secondly, if it really was holographic, then many audiences who bought tickets would have exploded a long time ago.

How could there only be a few comments like this?

Until the end of the movie.

Those audiences who had bought a large number of special scenes performed a crazy barrage of messages to their online friends.

—Ah ah ah, it’s really holographic projection; it’s really, really too good, too realistic, too much like a real world. How did they do it?

For those online friends who had sworn that it was impossible: “…”

It’s actually true…

Since holographic projection technology has been applied to movie playback, doesn’t it mean that holographic-related content in the movie might also…

Everyone: “…”

Oh, my goodness!
