Chapter 332: Game Continuation, Real-World Marketplace

On this day, the eyes of all Earth races' players were fixed on Eclipse City.

All players were buzzing about the same thing.

Because today, the Eclipse Clan's latest technological product would be officially launched.

Even before this, pre-orders had already opened.

Even though many did not know what the new product was, orders had piled up so high that customers needed to queue for waiting.

Although netizens had various complaints about the Eclipse Clan.

But history proved that the Eclipse Clan's products never dragged out releases; each generation's upgrade was a technological revolution.

Even before the launch event began, headlines across all Earth Alliance races' news outlets carried related stories.

Various analyses and speculations about the new product ignited forums across all races.

At eight p. m. that evening.

Eclipse City, Technology Frontier Launch Event.

When the countdown on the official website ended, members of all races flooded into the Eclipse Clan's live-streamed launch event.

In the live feed, the dome of the Eclipse City Tech Exhibition Hall slowly darkened, thousands of floating particles converged in the holographic projection zone and coalesced into the Eclipse Clan's emblem: a spinning nebula.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Eclipse Technology Frontier. I am Aphi, Eclipse Clan's Technical Officer."

Under the spotlight, the Eclipse Clan's Chief Technical Officer walked slowly onto the central stage, his silver-gray attire contrasting with the cold glow of the holographic projections.

Arriving at the convergence point of the spotlight, he swept his long fingers through the air, and instantly a sleek, all-silver capsule rose from the display platform.

"Twenty years ago, we launched the first-generation 'Phantom World' virtual gaming capsule, redefining immersive experience. Ten years ago, we introduced Phantom World II, ushering in the era of next-generation virtual gaming…"

Aphi's voice echoed through the spatial audio system:

"Today, we will transcend the technological barriers we ourselves built, pushing virtual gaming capsule technology to a new level."

He raised his hand and lightly touched the air; the holographic projection instantly decomposed and reassembled, revealing multiple human (living being) anatomical diagrams.

Among them were anatomical projections of the Eclipse Clan, Human Race, Breaker Clan, Great Man Clan, and other major Earth Alliance races, arranged in sequence before Technical Officer Aphi.

In each anatomical diagram, the nervous system, muscle tissue, and circulatory system were highlighted in distinct colors.

At this moment, Aphi smiled and introduced:

"Virtual gaming certainly brings us much joy. The previous generation solved the problem of prolonged gaming through basic electrical stimulation and nutrient circulation, yet it still presented three major physiological challenges."

As Aphi spoke, he pointed to the projection:

"Neuromuscular atrophy, metabolic disorder, immune suppression — today, we will solve these three problems."

The projection switched to a cross-section of the new-generation gaming capsule.

Inside the capsule, thousands of micro-nodes emerged, forming a network covering the entire body.

"This is the eighth-generation neuromuscular electrical stimulation system."

Aphi manipulated the image, zooming in on one node:

"This generation is no longer just simple anti-atrophy pulses, but intelligent training programs precise to every muscle group."

In the projection, the node emitted pale blue ripples, simulating the transmission of electrical pulses through muscle fibers.

"The new-generation gaming capsule generates a daily body report, feeding back your physical training status. Users can freely choose training modes… If you want stronger muscles, select the high-frequency training mode, allowing muscle growth to occur subtly and effortlessly through enjoyable virtual gaming."

Upon hearing this, the invited reporters from all races in the audience gasped in astonishment.

Aphi nodded with a smile and continued manipulating the projection.

The screen shifted to the spinal region, revealing a dense array of massage units.

"This is the dynamic spinal support system, built with sixty-four micro-pneumatic units."

As Aphi explained, the air cushions in the projection began rising and falling rhythmically:

"It automatically adjusts support points every minute, preventing pressure buildup in intervertebral discs among certain races. Additionally, combined with the capsule's built-in microgravity mode, it eliminates back discomfort caused by prolonged lying."

At this moment, Aphi walked toward the display platform; the capsule lid slid open silently, revealing its interior ergonomic curved design.

The live camera zoomed in at the same time:

"More importantly, this." Aphi pointed to the dense array of micro-sensors lining the capsule's inner wall:

"The real-time electromyography monitoring network captures the slightest muscle tremors; the system automatically adjusts electrical stimulation parameters based on fatigue levels, preventing overtraining."

The projection switched to a stream of dynamic data, showing how the system adjusted stimulation intensity according to user activity.

A red curve marked muscle activity, always fluctuating within the optimal range.

"This is part of the body maintenance function."

Aphi walked to the other side of the stage, where a cylindrical container rose from the floor, filled with pale green liquid shimmering with a pearly luster.

"This is the NT-7 nutrient regulation solution, the second product of today's launch."

The holographic projection magnified a single droplet, revealing suspended nanoscale carriers.

"This is the seventh-generation active delivery system, capable not only of maintaining basic metabolism but also of repairing the body."

As Aphi explained, the magnified projection showed molecular structures rotating within the image.

"Mitochondrial activation peptides enhance energy metabolism, endorphin polymers alleviate stress hormone accumulation… and specially developed keratin repair factors for long-term immersion."

The screen switched to show skin wrinkling after prolonged nutrient solution immersion.

Aphi tapped the control panel; the projection switched to a comparative experiment image:

"This is the state of epidermal cells after 300 hours of immersion in traditional nutrient solution. Through the left image, you can clearly see shriveled keratinocytes."

"This is the result after NT-7 treatment." Aphi pointed to the comparative image.

In the right image, the cells were plump and neatly arranged.

"On this foundation, NT-7 also has detoxification functions."

The projection switched to a 3D model of an Eclipse Clan member's kidney.

"Nanoscale adsorbents capture metabolic waste from the body."

In the model visualization, the process of the body's toxin molecules being captured by green nanoparticles is demonstrated.

Laboratory data proves that users of nt-7 show an 89.72% improvement in kidney function indicators compared to traditional repair fluids.

In the audience, a Breaker journalist wearing smart glasses raised their hand to ask:

"How do these systems coordinate? Different races have varying auxiliary function requirements for the game pods—won't this cause some races to struggle with compatibility?"

"Excellent question." Afi nodded, and the projection immediately switched to an overview of the system workflow:

"When connected to the network, the game pod learns the Yan Suan Fa to balance all subsystems, ensuring that after the initial adaptation phase, each pod masters the optimal data for its user—all parameters are incorporated into the adaptive algorithm."

The projection switched to a real-time data stream, displaying simulated usage scenes of players from different races.

"For example, your Breaker race has a keratinocyte turnover rate 3.2 times that of humans—the game pod automatically increases the concentration of epidermal repair factors in the nutrient solution. The same applies to other races."

"Of course, users always retain final control—all parameters can be customized manually, or entrusted to the game pod's built-in 'Virtual Doctor' for personalized adjustment."

The holographic projection switched to a demonstration video.

It showed how users adjust various bodily maintenance settings within the virtual interface.

Beside a semi-transparent human model were dozens of draggable parameter sliders.

If users find it tedious, they can simply choose the simplest 'Virtual Doctor' mode.

Second, the screen also displayed the alert mode.

If a player forcibly sets parameters to a mode incompatible with their body, the system will block execution.

Then, the press conference entered the Q&A session.

Afi answered every question from reporters of all races with ease, satisfying every curiosity.

Before the press conference ended, Afi returned to the center of the stage, looked up at the camera, and met the gaze of countless players in the livestream, their eyes filled with anticipation:

"Imagine spending long hours in the Monster World, standing up without back pain or dry eyes—feeling as refreshed as after a professional therapy session, even discovering your physical condition has improved. That's the goal: synchronizing joy between the virtual and the real."

As she finished speaking, the floating particles around the stage erupted, transforming into countless stars cascading toward the audience.

Amid the crowd's gasps, Afi opened her arms:

"Bo, equipped with free health monitoring services… To encourage the promotion of the Monster World, purchases using Shou Shou Jili currency qualify for discounts and priority access—details available on the official website."

The dome lit up again, illuminating faces in the audience filled with astonishment.

The livestream chat exploded.

But most of it was complaints.

"Did I hear that right? You say Shou Shou Jili can be used to promote the Monster World—then just give me the game access already."

"No access for me? What am I supposed to buy with my head? What a lame press conference—I thought you'd finally announce a new round of game access, and this is it?"

"So where's the Monster World access? I'm asking you—where's the access? Upper Realm beings are disgusting. Hunger marketing is the worst."
