Chapter 805: Chapter 567 Reality Cyber Psychosis_2
But his character was vouched for by someone, so he might be reliable.
"I’m the only daughter in my family, and my parents are quite old." The quiet girl suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?" Li Jie Wansui was puzzled.
"I heard that your family conditions are pretty good." She said again.
"It’s alright." Li Jie Wansui did not deny it.
His family had money, but he was quite clear about the situation. Family money wasn’t his own, he only had a bit of pocket money. He had no interest in working or finding a job; he just liked playing games.
"My friend mentioned your conditions, and I think they’re quite suitable for me." The girl said, "In our area, it’s not common to ask for a dowry."
"Isn’t this a bit fast?" Li Jie Wansui said.
He was here because of his friend’s introduction, and he didn’t rule out the possibility that he actually wanted a relationship, to explore the game world together.
Talking about marriage on the first meeting made his head spin.
"You think I’m not suitable?" The girl said, "I think a symbolic dowry of tens of thousands is enough, but there must be a house in my name. Given your family’s conditions, you should buy a house..."
"Wait!"
Li Jie Wansui quickly stopped her from continuing.
How could harm be done based on percentages? For families with average conditions, a dowry of tens of thousands plus a decent house; for his case, a symbolic dowry of tens of thousands plus a house worth millions.
"I didn’t say you’re not suitable, but I think we’re not the right match."
"Do you have any hobbies?" The girl asked, "I think hobbies can be cultivated, we should have common topics."
"I like playing games." Li Jie Wansui said, "I’m good at fighting, so the profession of the person I’m looking for must be a healer, definitely max level, at least 30% magically mechanized body, and their race should preferably not be human. The ranking requirement is at least top 1000 in city-level competitions, I’m ranked top 800 in Rand Kingdom arena."
The girl’s mouth opened slightly: "Ah?"
"See, we have no common language." He stood up, "My friend is calling me back to farm materials, goodbye."
On the way back, Li Jie Wansui felt relieved. Forget about dating, even a dog wouldn’t date, gaming suits him better.
He decided to go back and farm gold coins with his buddies and open card packs together.
After going to the bathroom at home, Li Jie Wansui put on his gaming helmet and entered the game again.
The real-world interlude couldn’t affect him, at most he’d rant to his friends, asking them not to set him up anymore.
While farming materials, a private message popped into his sight.
"Damn, bro, you’ve been exposed."
"What?"
Li Jie Wansui was puzzled.
"In the real world, not in the game, someone exposed you, saying you were looking for a healer with combat power, and they posted your photo, seems like it was taken secretly."
"What the hell?"
Li Jie Wansui’s anger surged. He quickly took off his helmet and checked his phone, seeing a lot of messages.
The lengthy post began.
The other party talked about the "matchmaking" process, mentioning how she was actively chatting, while the guy just stared at her lecherously and so on.
She ended with his girlfriend criteria.
"Having a bit of money at home can’t change the essence of a loser homebody."
There were many comments below.
But they weren’t one-sided.
"A useless person only wasting time in games, why not spend time reading and learning more useful knowledge?"
Someone immediately replied below: "You don’t seem to be studying either, why are you surfing online, smelly sis."
Li Jie Wansui quickly filtered out those "mindless supportive comments."
"Top 800 in Rand Kingdom arena? Hubby, look at me!
"Strong player, I think I can cut it, what’s your game ID, add me and let’s play together."
"Another lengthy post, and exposing someone’s photos?"
"Such a strong quality guy, money at home, good game stats, a bit handsome, what else do you need a bike for. Hubby, can I meet you? I can heal and chant ’666’, my race is the elegant Blood Clan."
"Get lost with your Blood Clan, Blood Wart Demon right? Do you have wings or not?"
A dating post unexpectedly gained more heat, especially when a popular streamer saw it and critiqued it on the spot, adding fuel to the fire.
The situation started developing uncontrollably, whether people were after popularity or genuinely interested, everyone wanted to comment.
Soon, the post was deleted.
But the matter didn’t end there.
Three days later.
A series of videos began appearing online.
"I learned archery in the game"
The video content was simple, a 40-year-old middle-aged corporate slave uncle had always wanted to learn archery, but had no money or time. So, he resolutely decided to learn archery in the game.
He stumbled through as an archer, though his skills were still bottom-tier, he was happy playing.
Until a few days ago, he was out shopping with his family and saw an archery experience hall, went in for a shot, and astonishingly hit the bullseye every time, becoming an instant sharpshooter.
"I learned to bake bread in the game"
"I learned to fish in the game"
"I learned parachuting in the game"
"I learned horseback riding in the game"
"I have architecture skills, I still build houses in the game"
Similar videos began sprouting, more and more people were demonstrating what they learned in the game, aiming to debunk the uselessness of gaming.
A game that could extend one’s life, incidentally teaching various skills that could reflect on one’s body and be applied to life, couldn’t simply be described as miraculous.
Regarding getting exposed, Li Jie Wansui could only treat it like being bitten by a dog, there was nothing else he could do.
Recently, he wasn’t in a good mood either.
After another offline session, a friend’s call came.
"Stop introducing people to me, let me die alone with my game."
"Damn, watch this video."
A video link was pushed to Li Jie Wansui’s phone, he clicked on it instinctively.
"Teen learns weapon-making in game to avenge his mother, kills his enemy."
"What the f**k?"
Li Jie Wansui couldn’t help but curse. Though the video wasn’t detailed, looking at the showcased weapons gave him chills.
Because he had used this gear before, remembering clearly, one of the weapon was used to cut ears.
Not every task could be tied to the "system", to prove he had killed the target successfully, he needed some evidence, cutting off the left ear was a good choice.
For tasks like killing a certain number of targets, he would cut off the left ear and put it in a bag to hand in the mission.
"Damn, can people really apply what they learned?"
"Not just that, some even went crazy."
Another video was pushed to Li Jie Wansui’s phone.
This time the video content was clear, though it wasn’t domestic, speaking in Japanese with subtitles.
Someone stood in the subway clutching an umbrella, laughing crazily, then muttering to himself, speaking faster and faster, and suddenly swung the umbrella towards a passerby.
The guy was then arrested by the police, and his mental state was highly unstable.
After investigation, they found he was ranked very high in game arenas and was a guild leader, online for about 20 hours a day, completely shutting off any daily life activities aside from basic needs.
"Is this cyber psychosis?" Li Jie Wansui asked.
"A bit terrifying."
Li Jie Wansui didn’t know how to evaluate it.
As the line between the game and the real world becomes increasingly blurred, with the knowledge learned in games applied in reality and vice versa, who’s to tell which side is real and which is fake?
His friend’s voice came through: "Do you think this game might introduce anti-addiction measures?"
