Chapter 001: Full Dive

After walking through a long corridor, Wang Bo soon arrived at the world of "Ready Player One."

Wang Bo was actually no stranger to this world, because he had seen the plot of this world, and more than once.

In 2045, the real world, on the verge of chaos and collapse, was disappointing. People placed their hope of salvation in the "Oasis," a virtual game universe created by the genius James Halliday.

As long as people put on VR equipment, they could enter this virtual world, which formed a strong contrast with reality. In this world, there were bustling cities, players with various appearances and radiant looks, and classic characters from films and games of different dimensions could also gather here.

Even if you were a loser struggling on the fringes of society in reality, you could still become a superhero in the "Oasis," and even the most distant dreams became within reach.

On his deathbed, Halliday announced that he would leave his huge fortune and ownership of the "Oasis" to the first person to solve three puzzles and find the Easter egg he had hidden in the game, triggering a worldwide competition.

To be honest, before time-traveling, when Wang Bo saw this movie, he was extremely excited.

Because at that time, he desperately wanted such a game to appear on the market, so that he could also have fun.

But these were just fantasies.

Before he traveled through time, technology had not yet reached that level.

Yet today, Wang Bo could enter this world; how could he not be excited?

He just wanted to put on the helmet and play the game to the fullest. As for being a time traveler, screw that.

After entering the world of "Ready Player One," the first thing Wang Bo did was to get himself a legal identity, find a legal villa, and then purchase a set of top-tier gaming equipment.

And Friday could help Wang Bo solve all of these.

Five hours after entering this world, Wang Bo achieved his goal: he had a legal identity and moved into a luxurious villa.

At the same time, with a crisp ding-dong sound, as soon as Wang Bo opened the door, a staff member in uniform holding a cardboard box stood at the entrance and asked, "Excuse me, did you purchase the game helmet?"

Wang Bo quickly nodded.

The staff member handed the cardboard box to Wang Bo and said, "Have fun in the Oasis."

After seeing off the staff member, Wang Bo eagerly opened the cardboard box and took out a super sci-fi game helmet. How to put it? The helmet was entirely black, with no signs of welding.

But Wang Bo felt something was off. He remembered that the game Oasis didn't seem to have any game helmets; it only had VR glasses, right?

Wang Bo picked up the game manual and glanced at it, only to be astonished to find that the full name of the game helmet was... Oasis Game Brain Neural Link Helmet.

The manual explained in detail how to use the game helmet. After reading it, Wang Bo was dumbfounded.

Because in his memory, Oasis was just a VR game.

But now, Oasis had become a full-dive virtual game. As long as you put on the helmet and started the connection, your consciousness would enter a completely virtual game world.

Wang Bo immediately realized that this was not the Oasis from the plot.

Suddenly jumping from a VR game to a full-dive virtual game was too big a leap. Wang Bo instinctively felt that something he didn't know must have happened.

So Wang Bo immediately ordered, "Friday, help me investigate this game."

"Yes, sir."

Friday immediately connected to the network and began investigating the game Oasis for Wang Bo.

In just one hour, from the game's development to its completion, and from completion to sales, all kinds of information filled Wang Bo's view.

From this information, Wang Bo discovered that the founders of Oasis were still James Halliday and his partner Morrow.

However, during the game's development, James Halliday had disappeared for about a year.

It was precisely because of his disappearance that the game almost couldn't be released.

After disappearing for a year, James Halliday suddenly returned. More interestingly, no one knew where he had been, not even his partner Morrow.

But upon his return, James Halliday seemed to have had his meridians unblocked. He spent some time upgrading the game Oasis from a so-called VR game to a full-dive game.

To the public, James Halliday claimed that he had found a place to hide and, relying on his own wisdom, upgraded the game.

And upon release, the game caused a huge sensation.

After all, compared to so-called VR games, full-dive games were more in line with players' expectations and drove them even crazier.

After seeing this news, Wang Bo suddenly understood.

Perhaps others didn't know where James Halliday had been, but Wang Bo did.

That guy must have time-traveled.

While making this game, James Halliday traveled to another world, most likely a highly technologically advanced future world.

In this world, James Halliday gained a lot of inspiration and technology, including brain neural link technology.

Then, he met another person.

A person who did the same job as Wang Bo. This person found James Halliday and sent him back.

Because of this, James Halliday was able to upgrade his game, leaping directly from a VR game to a full-dive game, achieving a leapfrog evolution.

Wang Bo felt that his guesses might not be entirely correct, but the situation should be roughly like this.

Basically, there wouldn't be too much deviation.

But this also made Wang Bo somewhat excited, because compared to VR games, full-dive games were obviously more fun.

So he almost eagerly plugged the helmet into the power source, connected it to the computer, put on the helmet, and after the helmet started operating, closed his eyes.

Start linking!

The next second, a slight electric current stimulated Wang Bo's scalp. This current was very weak, not much different from bioelectricity.

At the same time, a beam of light swept across Wang Bo's face.

According to the normal process, at this moment, Wang Bo's consciousness should have dived down and officially logged into the game.

But the problem was that Wang Bo's consciousness was too strong; this current was completely insufficient to control his consciousness and enter the game.

Helpless, Wang Bo had to restrain his consciousness as much as possible, letting most of it fall asleep. Then, under the stimulation of the current, his consciousness dived down, thus successfully entering the game.

Because Wang Bo was logging in for the first time, he had to register an account and password.
