Even After My Death-Chapter 90 - 78

The audience in front of the screen were stunned; no one quite understood what was going on.

[Seeing the few guests standing by the seaside, it’s not a recording either.]

[This is too strange. The crew has already pulled out, but the live broadcast is still showing the few guests. Did the cameraman leave the drone behind in a hurry?]

[Aaaaah, I want to see the director! Are the staff members who got water in their yacht in any danger? As a worker, I really feel for other workers.]

...

Just as everyone was about to call the maritime rescue services, the screen went dark and then light, and the picture finally changed.

Director Shen Zha, who had just seemed incredibly anxious, was now sitting in a luxurious cabin on the yacht, slouched on the soft sofa, looking comfortable and content, with none of the previous anxiety showing.

Sitting next to Shen Zha was the show’s producer Chen Yan, who was sipping tea with his head bowed, steam wafting around his eyelids. Chen Yan looked up, and those beautiful, narrow fox-like eyes suddenly looked towards the camera.

Off-camera, a staff member whispered, "Director, Producer Chen, maybe you should say hello to the viewers."

Chen Yan asked, "Has the live broadcast started already?"

The staff member nodded, "Uh huh, the live chat is almost overloaded with messages. The viewers really want to know what’s going on."

[Aaah! Who is this handsome man drinking tea on the left!]

[My God, that full sense of a refined scoundrel... excuse me, Yuan Zai, your momma’s gonna fangirl for three minutes.]

[Producer Chen? Is he a behind-the-scenes staff member of this show? Ahh! With that face and temperament, why not just debut as a star! What a waste of talent!]

[Sorry for the laugh, folks, blushing.jpg but this is my legally-wedded hubby]

[Step aside! Let me through!!!]

The staff member glanced at the screen filled with rogue comments and quickly cleared them away.

The camera zoomed in, focusing on Shen Zha and Chen Yan sitting on the sofa.

Shen Zha waved at the camera, "Hello, everyone. Are you all feeling confused, wondering what is actually going on? Hahaha"

[Hurry up and tell us! What do you mean by stopping mid-sentence!]

[Aaah, let the Producer Chen talk instead, the director is too fat and ugly!]

A staff member who happened to see this last comment on the screen swallowed nervously and glanced at the slightly overweight Director Shen.

Shen Zha, oblivious to the audience’s distaste, laughed cheerily, explaining in a relaxed tone, "Actually, let me tell you what happened. Last month, we received news from our investors, they have developed a VR wristwatch. People wearing this wristwatch can cross between reality and virtual reality, with a one-to-one scale between the virtual world and the real world. Users can feel a hundred percent of realism, even when they’re in the virtual world."]

[WHAT!!!!!!]

[Ahhh???!!!!]

[OMG!!! What did I just hear!!!]

[Aaaaaaaaaah, that’s amazing! If I had known, I’d have signed up to participate in this show!]

[So... are those guests standing by the sea consciousnesses? Spirits?]

...

The barrage comments were flying across the screen at breakneck speed.

Shen Zha gave a brief explanation before giving up, "...Anyway, that’s basically what it means. The investor provided too many technical terms, and my brain can’t remember all of it at once."

[I’m dizzy! Hurry up and say more! I love hearing it, I love it, I love it!]

[You better clarify quickly! Don’t leave us hanging!]

[Ahhh, Director Shen, the investor is so good to you, so generous to the crew! How can you slack off like this! Does the investor daddy know how you’re working!]

[Unknown investor big shot: Jealous, right? I spoil them (づ￣3￣)づ╭～]

[The cold-hearted, wealthy investor and his little darling wife, Director Shen]

[Hahaha, you guys are too much, how can you even ship that!]

[Hehe, a balanced diet includes both meat and vegetables]

Shen Zha was blissfully unaware of how the netizens in the livestream were playfully mocking his relationship with Qi Corporation; otherwise, even a million more wouldn’t make him laugh.

Shen Zha occasionally glanced at Chen Yan beside him, gesturing for him to add a few words as well.

Chen Yan straightened up slightly and began to speak, "The backstory is similar to what Director Shen just mentioned. After we made contact with the investor and personally tested two of the watches, we found that the experience was superb. Whether it was the bodily sensations, touch, smell, vision, the things you touch, or even your own body, using it felt no different from reality. If you weren’t told, it’d be very difficult to guess that you were in the Virtual World." freewebnσvel.cѳm

[Ahhh! Quickly, say the brand! Who made these watches! I want to buy, I want to buy, I want to buy!]

[Damn, isn’t this the legendary holographic technology?! Who would have thought that in my lifetime, I’d actually get to play a Holographic Game?!]

[Big moves, which company developed this?! Once this news gets out, it’s going to explode!]

[I have a feeling, the ratings for this episode of the show are going to be unprecedentedly explosive.]

"For the authenticity and the viewing pleasure of the show, the crew had a lengthy internal discussion and decided to keep the real purpose of these watches a secret from the guests," Chen Yan explained.

"This afternoon, after having lunch on the yacht, the guests were ostensibly lying in bed asleep, but in reality, that bed was an expensive nutrient pod developed by the investor."

"The moment the guests lay down and fell asleep, with the watch on their wrists serving as the medium, they had already entered the Virtual Reality."

"The data in Virtual Reality is restored one-to-one based on real-world data to ensure 100% authenticity."

"Now, let’s wait with bated breath to see how each of the guests will perform!" Chen Yan looked at the camera, his lips curling up into a playful smile.

He spoke lightly, but the viewers watching the livestream were going crazy.

VR had been talked about for many years, but no brand had ever truly succeeded in developing it.

Not just in Xinguo, even on the same continent, or even those far-off overseas countries with more advanced technology, no one had broken through this bottleneck.

In everyone’s mind, VR was an existence as distant as legend!

Yet today, they were told not only that VR had been developed, but it was also in use?!

Who could have imagined such a thing happening?

Nobody thought the production team would be so crazy! To play on such a massive scale!!

The audience in the livestream became the brick movers and spreaders of online information in an instant, and the number of viewers in the livestream skyrocketed. Simultaneously, skilled editors and entertainment accounts quickly caught wind of the buzz, and content related to the "Survive for 30 Days" show soon appeared on other social media platforms.
