Chapter 1128 – Creating The Virtual Reality -Part 3

While Jin would have loved to focus a little more on a low fantasy world for his Virtual Reality Instance, he understood that it might be somewhat limiting to force everyone to remain a human.

As such, he had decided to sell a fantastic fantasy makeover kit in the Tricky Shop of Magic.

Initially, the makeover kit had merely been created to allow the adventurers to remodel their body size in any way they wanted. The only exception had been a gender makeover.

According to the System, the gender makeover would just mess with the players due to the way their cognitive preconception worked once their souls got uploaded into the System's servers. The only ones who would be able to change their gender were those whose cognitive preconceptions were that they had been born into the 'wrong body'.

Aside from that, seeing how his minions were all intellectual and able to converse without any discrimination, Jin came to the decision to add humanoids and other races into the makeover kit like werewolves, dark elves, orcs, dwarves, halflings and so on. (This way, his minions would also be able to blend in as NPCs more easily and help enrich the Virtual Reality Instance.)

However, to make people consider what they wanted to be, he would impose certain requirements to allow the adventurers to race change into them. For example, if one would want to be a werewolf, there was a proficiency requirement of using claw related weapons.

Buying the makeover kit did not mean they would have access to every function. There was the basic makeover kit which allowed them to change their facial appearances, an advanced makeover kit that allowed one to change their entire body size and height and the ultimate makeover kit which did everything as well as changing the race.

Naturally, the cost for all those kits differed but he had purposely made the basic makeover set cheap in order to entice his player base to use them on a constant basis. This was because the kit was required to access the special haircut styles which he intended to add in the near and far future.

"The System still believes that User should set the prices higher or even use real life currency to purchase them." The System stated as Jin was trying out the features on a full ultimate makeup kit. He purposely spent more time on it, more than the System had allocated but he argued it was a very important feature for every gamer.

Therefore, Jin did allow the adjustments of every part of the body. From cheeks, nose and toes and even Adam's apples for the guys. As for the female counterpart, he had already requested Qiu Yue and Lynn to take charge of it. (And they knew they had to accommodate all sizes…)

However, he was aware that many would care less about their outer appearance and more about what they could do in the Virtual Reality Instance. For those players, Jin had the System create a few standard templates for each and every race.

He also implemented a 'smart' randomise which allowed the System to choose the kind of makeover that most people would prefer to look like. All of those were based on science itself and with a big enough sample size, the System would be able to offer those choices based on the adventurer's ethnicities.

"Seems like the makeover feature is working well and dandy. Let's call it a day then." Jin said and used his HUD in his vision to log out. Rei was right beside him when he woke up, busy jotting down the vitals on a digital clipboard and he noted that everything seemed to have been proceeding fine.

"Boss, the test run was successful. Do you want to test combat on the next trial run?" Rei questioned as he requested the System to compile the rest of the results.

"Not so soon. Let me create a proper village first before going into the combat phase." Jin answered as he pulled out the prototype gear. "Though I must say, this is rather heavy equipment. My neck feels sore now."

"Do you want us to deal with the comfort of the player now on top of our technological advances?" Rei asked as he scratched his head. This was one particular section which he had no idea how to deal with. To him, the beauty was already in the current prototype. Those ch.i.p.s and circuit sequences were as perfect as they could get. The electrical circuitry was minimum and the cooling system was perfect with the exception of the main motherboard.

While there were smaller motherboards out there, this particular motherboard had been bought off the black market for its robustness in serving the needs of the Virtual Reality headgear. Rei might be an engineer but he was not much of a microchip expert and he could only ensure the motherboard was working well with the rest of the other components. He felt that it was already a miracle he could fit it in a big a.s.s helmet for Jin to be teleported into the System's servers, so Jin asking for a smaller build felt a little bit of an insult.

Jin seemed to be able to sense his dismay and decided to change his tune a little.

"Don't get me wrong, the prototype is as perfect as it could get! Hard to think that just two weeks ago we had and in a short span of a week you managed to mish mash random things together and get them to work for the previous version."

"This was nothing short of a miracle and I really feel you were not appreciated enough in your previous work." Jin gave him a pat on the back while emphasising how much of a job well done it was until Rei felt a little too uncomfortable. The praise felt a bit empty but for Jin to sense the dismay was already good enough for the Mecha Engineer.

"Nah, it's just that it's hard to get the job you want in a space colony." Rei sighed, stating that he preferred to create things rather than teach lectures. Although there were resources for him to do so, it had to be within the curriculum rather than something out of the box since in the end, it was all about serving for the war.

"Ah, I am sorry to hear that. I will take that more into consideration in the future." Jin agreed as he felt a little embarrassed that he had forced Rei to perform war related tasks for the expansion of his army. And when he said in the future, Rei also understood that there were some military related tasks that he had to clear for Jin before they could move forward.

Besides, a deal is a deal. The dungeon supplier seems to be the only one who was able to transverse between worlds and it was already a miracle that he was able to meet up with him. So for now, he understood his responsibilities and pledged Jin that he would try to reach his expectations.

"Hahah! It's okay Rei. I just realised I have the perfect person to lay this thing on. Besides, their engineering group has already touched one of our gadgets before. Doesn't hurt to contact them again. Not to mention, I know that CEO would be in for another wave of shocking surprise when we show him this." Jin said and Rei immediately understood who he was talking about.

"Indeed. With him being part of your Panda Clan, you could start moving mountains without being discovered." Rei chuckled and told Jin that he would look forward to meeting up with their 'very supportive' CEO.
