Chapter 177

"I also think it's impossible... It must be some game developer looking to scam money again..."

"That's not right. Look at the signature below, there's even the Ghost Spider Club logo. This is an emerging leading corporate power."

"That's right, my goddess Ghost Spider wouldn't lie to me!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with Ghost Spider! Maybe it's a game produced by my genius goddess Knightess, she's the president!"

"But I heard she doesn't manage things..."

"Nonsense! Where did you hear that gossip? Get lost!"

The crowd beside the big screen was noisy; some believed it, others didn't.

After all, virtual reality was too new for them.

wuenn~——

Above the big screen, a white drone suddenly flew down.

It began to construct a very realistic virtual image above the crowd———

【If you're a brother! Come and slash me!】

A figure stood in the void, exactly the standard image of a clone soldier: 【Do you want to experience a real, exquisite game environment? Do you want to experience the feeling of becoming a super-human? Then come to "Ready Player YL", it will let you...】

"My god! This image is so realistic, it feels like it's really standing in front of me talking!"

"Isn't this the Silver Sable Company's Intrepid mercenary? So it's a game based on them! Then I must buy it!"

"Can I see the Silver Sable goddess in the game? I hope she's an NPC who gives out quests, the kind you can interact with!"

As the passersby discussed.

The clone soldier continued with the advertising slogan: 【... eta test time, virtual reality glasses and simulation pods are on limited sale! Not 998!! Not 98!! Only 98, 00 dollars!! Rent the virtual glasses home!!】

"Pfft————!"

The passerby who had just said he would buy the game almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

98, 00 dollars!

And it's just for rent!

Is this a game only for the rich?

Using salary to create happiness, if you have no money, why play?

Regardless of what some less wealthy passersby thought, such big screens and drones were placed all over New York City.

Later, it would spread to other cities; the first beta test of "Ready Player One" was temporarily limited to America.

"What is that? How magical!"

Seeing Seeing Alita watched for a long time until a traffic policeman came to clear the street, and she finally came back to her senses.

"Are you interested in fighting?... hen when the server opens, I can take you to play."

Ye Li was also satisfied with the promotion speed of this game, it's just that the advertising slogan was a bit lackluster... It must have been thought up by Old Ma...

Also... the game's holographic simulation device, he would have to find a way to reduce production costs in the future.

His goal wasn't to make money, he just wanted more people to experience happiness...

【In this impetuous era, just thinking about it makes me feel great...】

As Ye Li was feeling self-satisfied, his gaze caught a snack cart being pushed nearby.

It was probably because there were many people here,

and they wanted to try their luck.

Near the snack cart, some people were buying, but not many; the items sold were probably quite niche.

Ye Li asked Seeing Seeing Alita, "Do you want to eat something? I'll take you to see."

Speaking of which,

he hadn't bought snacks on the street for a long time.

"Mm-hmm-hmm!!"

As soon as food was mentioned, Seeing Seeing Alita's eyes instinctively lit up, and she nodded incessantly!

She also had taste sensors!

【Heh... another little foodie...】

Ye Li amusedly pulled the mechanical girl and walked toward the snack cart.

Only after getting close.

He felt a bit disappointed.

Because what was being sold on the cart was handmade chocolate, and he wasn't very interested in that...

However.

Seeing Seeing Seeing Alita still staring intently at the cart.

Ye Li said to the old grandmother vendor.

"How do you sell this...

Uh..."

Once the words were out.

He chuckled.

It had been too long since he bought anything,

and he had subconsciously used the tone from his past life...

With his current net worth,

why would he need to ask for the price when buying things...

"It's very cheap, just..."

The old grandmother wearing reading glasses smiled warmly and handed Seeing Seeing Alita a small piece of chocolate.

"The little girl is so cute, come, have a taste, this piece is a gift from grandma, no charge~"

"Thank you, grandma~"

Seeing Seeing Alita happily took it and tasted a bite, her expression immediately relaxing, "Mm———! It's truly delicious!!"

"What is this called?"

The mechanical girl closed her eyes, moving her pink tongue in her mouth, her face full of an expression of enjoyment and aftertaste~

"This is too delicious~! I declare, this is my favorite food~!!"

"Heh~"

Ye Li amusedly rubbed her head.

"Is it that good? Your expression is as exaggerated as a little princess in a Disney animation~"

"Hehe... the little girl is innocent and lively, isn't she just a princess..."

Seeing Seeing Seeing Alita praise it so sincerely, the old grandmother was also very happy and handed her a large piece of chocolate.

"Oh... perhaps the term 【little angel sent from heaven】 is more appropriate, come on little angel~ if you like it, grandma will give you another piece."

"En..."

This time Seeing Seeing Alita didn't take it immediately, but first looked up at Ye Li.

Ye Li nodded, "Take it."

Anyway, he would just instruct someone later to give this kind-hearted old grandmother some reward.

"Mm!"

Seeing Seeing Alita happily took it and gnawed on it, shaking her head~~

"Young man, let me give you this piece..."

Because of Seeing Seeing Alita, the old grandmother felt particularly happy today and handed Ye Li a piece as well.

"Thank you."

Seeing that the vendor was so kind, Ye Li also started chatting with her, "Grandma, you're at such an advanced age, why are you still out setting up a stall? Are you having financial difficulties?"

If she was, he wouldn't mind sponsoring a chocolate shop for her.

"Hehe, no, no..."

The old grandmother waved her hands, laughing happily.

"My old man passed away a few years ago, and my children don't have much time to visit me...
