Chapter 78 Truth Revealed
The audience in front of the screen was stunned, unable to understand what was going on.
user @FineShit: "Looking at the guests standing by the sea, it doesn't seem to be a pre-recorded segment."
user @AllThingsBranded: "This is so weird. The program team have all left, so why is the live stream still showing the guests? Did the cameraman forget the drone in his rush?"
user @WorkHard: "Ahhh, I want to see the director! Are the staff, on the yacht that's sinking, in danger? A worker really feels for other workers."
Just as everyone was getting anxious enough to call the marine police rescue team, the live stream screen went black and then bright again. The scene finally changed.
The previously anxious Sean was now sitting in the luxury cabin of the yacht, comfortably sprawled on a soft sofa, not looking anxious at all.
Next to Sean sat Simon, producer and mastermind behind the show, who was looking down and sipping tea.
With the steam swirling around his eyes, Simon looked up, and his beautiful, narrow, fox-like eyes suddenly glanced toward the camera.
A staff member outside the camera quietly reminded them, "Director, Producer, should we greet the audience?"
Simon asked, "Is the live stream on already?"
The staff member nodded. "Yes, yes. The live stream room is about to be flooded with comments. The audience is very curious about what's going on."
user @ElijahFan: "Ahhh! Who is this handsome man sitting on the left drinking tea!"
user @EzraLover: "Oh my gosh, this overwhelming sense of a refined villain. Sorry, Ezra, Mommy's going to switch idols for three minutes."
user @WhyAreYouHere: "Producer Simon? He's a behind-the-scenes mastermind of this program team? Ahhh! With that face and aura, he should just debut! It's such a waste!"
user @DelusionalFangirl: "I apologize for the sight. [shy.jpg] This is my husband, with whom I've already registered our marriage."
user @LustyWoman: "Everyone move! Let me jump at him!!!"
The staff member glanced at the screen full of lewd comments and quickly cleared them. The camera zoomed in, focusing on Sean and Simon on the sofa.
Sean waved at the camera. "Hello, everyone. I bet you're all very confused about what happened, right? Hahahaha."
user @MyCatHasNineLives: "Hurry up and tell us! What's the deal with stopping halfway through!"
user @GymBuddy: "Ahhhhh, let producer Simon speak instead. This director is too fat and ugly!"
The staff member, who accidentally glanced at that comment, secretly swallowed and then glanced at the overweight Sean.
Sean, completely unaware of the audience's distaste for him, laughed merrily and slowly explained to everyone, "Actually, it's like this, last month, we received news from an investor.
They developed a VR watch. When a person wears this watch, they can cross between reality and virtual reality.
The virtual world is a one-to-one replica of the real world, and the user can experience a hundred percent sense of reality even in the virtual world. "
user @SpiderMan: "What!!!!"
user @AvailableNow: "Ahhhhh??!!!"
user @BlankCanvas: "Holy cow!!! What did I just hear!!!"
user @AutumnWinds: "Ahhhhhh, that's so cool! I wish I had signed up for this show too!"
user @AngelFromSky: "So... the guests standing by the sea right now are consciousness entities? Spiritual bodies?"
The comments were scrolling incredibly fast. Sean gave a rough explanation and then gave up. "...Anyway, that's basically the idea. The investor side gave us too many technical terms, my brain can't remember all of them."
user @GoodListener: "I'm fainting! Say more, say more! I love to listen, I love to listen, I love to listen!"
user @RidingABicycle: "Explain clearly! Don't leave us hanging!"
user @ILoveHorrorMovies: "Ahhhhh! Director Sean, the investor is so good to you and so generous to the program team! How can you be so lazy at work! Does the investor daddy know you're working like this!"
user @WantToMarryRich: "The anonymous investor big boss, are you single? I'll spoil you (づˉ3ˉ)づ╭ ~"
user @DanielCanStepOnMe: "The cool and rich investor and his little delicate wife, director Sean."
user @ObsessedWithSophia: "Hahahaha, you guys are too much. You can even ship this!"
user @DieHardEzraFan: "Hehe, you need to be open to all kinds of ships for a balanced diet."
Sean had no idea how the netizens in the live stream were maliciously shipping him with the Sinclair family's young master.
Otherwise, even if they gave him another million, he wouldn't be smiling. Sean's gaze kept flicking towards Simon beside him, signalling for him to say a few words.
Simon straightened up slightly and began, "The background is about the same as what Sean just said.
We contacted the investor and personally tried two of the watches.
We found the experience to be superb. Whether it's physical sensation, touch, smell, sight, the objects you interact with, or even your own body, there is no difference from reality.
If not told, it would be difficult for people to guess they are in a virtual world. "
user @ExcitedFellow: "Ahhhhh! Tell us the brand! Which brand developed this! I want to buy it, I want to buy it, I want to buy it!"
user @LivingInMyOwnWorld: "Holy cow, isn't this the legendary holographic technology?! I didn't think I would be able to play a fully holographic game in my lifetime?!"
user @BigBanana: "What a massive undertaking. Which company developed this! If this news gets out, it will be explosive!"
user @RedVelvetCake: "I have a feeling that this season's ratings will be unprecedentedly high and break many records!"
"For the authenticity and viewing pleasure of the program, the program team discussed for a long time and decided to keep the true purpose of this watch a secret from the guests.
This afternoon, after the guests finished lunch on the yacht, they were visibly lying down to sleep, but in fact, that bed was a nutritional capsule developed at a high price by the investor. "
"The moment the guests lay down and fell asleep, using the watch on their wrist as a medium, they had already entered the virtual reality. The virtual reality data is a one-to-one restoration of the real-world data, ensuring a hundred percent authenticity."
"Now, let's wait and see how each guest performs!" Simon looked at the camera, a playful smile on his slightly raised lips.
He spoke casually, but the audience watching the live stream was going crazy.
VR technology had been talked about for many years, but no brand had ever truly succeeded in developing it.
Not only in Astoria, but even on the same continent, and in those more distant, technologically advanced overseas countries, no one had broken this bottleneck.
In everyone's minds, VR was an existence as remote as a legend!
And today, someone was telling them that VR was not only developed but was already being used?!
Who could have expected something like this to happen? No one expected the program team to be so crazy! To play such a high-stakes game!!
The viewers in the live stream instantly became spreaders and disseminators of this mind-boggling news, and the number of people in the live stream room surged.
At the same time, various video editors and entertainment accounts keenly sensed the news, and content and information related to the '30 Days of Survival' program team quickly appeared on other social platforms.
