Chapter 551 - Virtual Game!
Chapter 551 Virtual Game!
Sensing Jordan’s interest, Peter delved further with Jordan into the many profound theories of physics. Although Jordan graduated from a famous university, he was not very proficient in physics. Therefore, he could not understand anything.
After all, this knowledge was decades ahead of current physics. Even a physics professor at Harvard would not fully be able to comprehend everything.
Such a heaven-defying car had been built, and Jordan did not really care about the theories behind it.
Getting into the car, Jordan stepped on the accelerator and drove outside to test drive. He switched on the flying mode and made the car fly, Jordan felt like he was dreaming!
Of course, because the car’s main function was to run on land, its flying ability was not comparable to an airplane.
It was very slow and difficult to control.
However, it would be perfect to deal with traffic jams. The car could fly over the congestion before landing on the open road again.
After testing it, Jordan alighted from the Porsche 888 and said excitedly, “This car is amazing! It’s a pity that I can’t drive it out.”
If the market knew that there were cars that could fly and change colors automatically, the entire car market would explode. As a member of a secret family, Jordan could not expose his family’s secret just to show off. He would be punished by his grandfather.
Peter smiled. “Mr. Steele, if you want to use it in the city, I can attach the Porsche 911 logo to it. You can use it as an ordinary sports car and activate the high-tech functions only during emergencies. With your ability, I believe it shouldn’t be difficult for you to erase the necessary surveillance footage and silence witnesses, right?”
Jordan genuinely liked this car. He was delighted when he heard Peter’s suggestion. “Alright! Then, put the Porsche 911 logo on it and send it to the US! I’ll give you the address.”
Jordan wrote the address of Lauren’s house in the capital.
Jordan planned to give this car to Lauren.
Previously, Jordan’s subordinate had destroyed Lauren’s car. He had always wanted to buy her a car as compensation.
After giving his instructions, Jordan sent Lauren a message. “Honey, I am having a sports car delivered to you from England. Remember to sign for it!”
Thereafter, Jordan opened the Secret Ring and found a pharmaceutical factory nearby. He teleported over.
The pharmaceutical factory was even stricter than the car factory. Jordan had to undergo three scans before he could reach the core. Everyone here was wearing white coats, and they all looked very experienced.
Looking at the doctors and pharmacists here, Jordan could not help feeling emotional. “These are the gods who overcame cancer!”
Although the technology breakthroughs were based on the predictive ability of the Deity, these doctors were the ones who put in the hard work to create the medicines and techniques.
Jordan did not want to disturb their research. He selected some youth-preservation drugs and left.
Since Jordan married into the Howard family, he had never given his mother-in-law any gifts. He knew that Marissa cared a lot about maintaining her looks. The Jordan family’s skincare products were definitely much better than those on the market.
He believed that Marissa would definitely like it very much.
Thereafter, Jordan went to a game development base.
“There’s actually a game development base. I wonder how advanced the games would be in the future?”
Jordan was very curious when he arrived at the game base.
The person in charge was William, a geeky-looking young man in his 30s who started to explain. “Mr. Steele, you just have to wear this VR device to enter a ‘realistic’ virtual world.”
Jordan asked, “Is this like the movie ‘Ready Player One’?” In the movie “Ready Player One “, one could enter the virtual world by wearing VR equipment. In the virtual world, you could race, swim, climb mountains and even fall in love. You wouldn’t feel like you were playing a game at all. Everything seemed real.
Jordan could not wait to put on the VR equipment and start the game!
Before entering the game, Jordan realized that there were two options.
One was Overlord while the other was Staff.
“Which should I choose?” Jordan asked.
William suggested. “You’re a member of the Steele family, so you should choose the Overlord option. The Staff version is for us employees to test the system. Only the members of the eight great families have the right to choose the Overlord option.”
Jordan said coldly, “So, members of the eight families are playing this virtual game. However, there aren’t that many people. I wonder if there’s anyone inside now.”
In the past, Jordan had occasionally played video games, and he knew that the more players there were, the better.
What was the point of a game which could only be accessed by the members of the eight families? Moreover, elderly family members like Jordan’s grandfather usually did not like to play games.
Jordan clicked the Overlord version and entered the game.
The game’s initial interface required one to construct their virtual image. Jordan created a simple avatar and entered.
Jordan was stunned when he entered the game world.
The blue sky, the white clouds, the beach, everything was too real!
“What terrifying VR technology! If this technology is unleashed, it will topple the entire world!”
Jordan knew very well how obsessed people were with video games!
People nowadays were under a lot of pressure in their lives. Everyone wanted to get married, have a good career and earn money.
This was a virtual game where they could go anywhere they wanted and experience all kinds of lives without even stepping out of their houses. Everyone in the world would love this!
Especially the poor!
Jordan explored the virtual world but did not see anyone. In this game, only the members of the eight families could enter. How many people were there in the eight families?
The Steeles only comprised a few members and most of them did not like to play video games.
“Hmph, it’s good that there’s no one around. I can play freely in this virtual world!”
In the game, Jordan bought a bottle of cola at the vending machine by the roadside. He then found a sports car and started racing!
“Over the past few years, I’ve never driven more than 120km/hour. I have to enjoy myself this time!”
Due to the limitations of the real world, the speed limit was 120km/hour. However, in this virtual world, one could go as fast as they wanted. Moreover, he was driving using a virtual character. He was not afraid of anything happening to him.
Roar…
Jordan stepped on the accelerator and started the car.
“Burning up the highway, going to and fro. Know I’m gonna make it, I’m never driving slow…”
The speed of the car had reached 220. Jordan played Wes Montgomery’s “Road Song” on the car stereo. He listened to the song as he sped along the highway. It was so satisfying!
Bang!
Suddenly, a heavy SUV drove over from the other side and slammed into Jordan’s sports
car!
