Due to the variety of gameplay styles and the game's intentional compatibility, Bai Luan witnessed an astonishing scene.
People would occasionally bring their custom-made keyboards and mouse, plug them into the compatible facilities at the game store, and start playing with fellow enthusiasts using different setups.
Some keyboard and mouse experts could even compete against players using VR headsets.
They must be PVP masters.
Bai Luan casually browsed around and experienced the local games of the Honkai: Star Rail World.
He then discovered that most games in the Honkai: Star Rail World directly constructed an entire world.
Keyboard and mouse operation was the familiar experience from his previous life, so there was no need to elaborate, but once a VR headset was worn, one entered a completely different world, with the immersion increasing exponentially.
This immersive gameplay also had several tiers; the higher the tier, the closer it was to reality, and the higher the price.
Some hardcore fighting games were so realistic that if you played them for a few years, you could genuinely learn real skills from them.
As for racing and mech games, they were even more exaggerated; there were actual, one-to-one scale cockpits!
Sparks flew and deafening roars erupted when mech metal blades collided.
The fierce push-back feeling from the seat when the thrusters were fully engaged.
The tilting and vibrations precisely fed back to the entire cockpit when the mech moved or turned... Bai Luan went in and fought two intense matches, emerging with his mind buzzing, as if a significant part of his life had been fulfilled.
"I'm also someone who has truly piloted a Gundam now."
He let out a long breath, with only one word to describe it:
"Awesome!"
After enjoying the local games for a while, Bai Luan decided to check on his own games within this Logos.
So he used his game bracelet to inquire, first about minecraft.
Soon, the game bracelet planned a route for Bai Luan to reach the nearest teleportation point to the minecraft area.
Upon reaching his destination, Bai Luan looked at the teleportation device, a smile he couldn't suppress spreading across his lips—it was clearly a portal frame constructed of obsidian, with even a wooden chest placed beside it.
The portal frame was silent, not yet activated.
Bai Luan could guess what was in the chest with his toes.
He opened the chest, and sure enough, a flint and steel lay quietly inside.
He picked up the flint and steel, struck a spark, and ignited the void within the portal frame.
Buzz—
A shimmering purple light curtain instantly swirled, mixed with countless tiny, stardust-like particle effects.
"This portal even has particle effects..."
Bai Luan couldn't help but exclaim.
It was truly incredible.
Bai Luan stepped onto the portal.
The most amazing thing was that the portal didn't immediately send Bai Luan through, but waited for a moment before teleporting him.
Every detail was truly considered.
As he stepped out the other end of the portal, a familiar, slightly muffled "hmmph" sound entered his ears.
A blocky villager, as if stepping directly out of the game, slowly ambled past him.
Once the villager moved away, when Bai Luan clearly saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but exclaim softly:
"Holy crap..."
The entire play area was completely constructed in the pixelated style of minecraft!
Grass blocks, pixelated cows and sheep, even small flowers swaying in the wind... everything was meticulously recreated from that blocky world.
"Holy crap..."
He exclaimed again, instinctively raising his hand.
His hand was still normal; otherwise, he would truly suspect he had transmigrated into the game.
Just then, a prompt appeared in his vision:
[User detected entering a special stylized area]
[Enable 'Cognitive Filter'?
Could it be... Bai Luan selected "Yes."
The next second, his hands in his vision transformed into the familiar blocky hands.
An inventory interface appeared out of thin air, complete with health, hunger, and experience bars, and even full backpack slots!
What was the difference between this and directly rebuilding a minecraft in reality?!
The reception area he was in prohibited breaking blocks, but there were dedicated areas where creation and destruction were allowed freely.
Bai Luan arrived there and tried to strike a grass block.
He really broke it down!
Not only was the visual style extremely faithful, but even the unique "physical" rules—block dropping, item pickup, and stacking methods—were perfectly recreated.
Heaven knew how much effort it took to achieve this.
Whoever the designer of this area was, as a minecraft player, Bai Luan felt he should bow to him.
Bai Luan saw all sorts of expert players in the minecraft area.
PVP masters deftly maneuvering in Bed Wars.
Magnificent structures rising in an instant during speed-building competitions.
And those astonishing Redstone contraptions... What made him lose it the most was the Iron Golem that players forced into continuous piston movements using Redstone circuits.
Bai Luan was dumbfounded when he saw this, only able to say that players' thought processes around the world are sometimes surprisingly consistent.
After feasting his eyes in the minecraft area, Bai Luan began to look forward to titanfall 2's performance.
He was sure it wouldn't disappoint him.
With immense anticipation, Bai Luan went to the titanfall 2 area via the teleportation point.
Then he saw a one-to-one replica of the Vanguard-class Titan BT-7274.
And the unfolding cockpit.
BT would half-crouch its massive body, extend its mechanical palm, and take you into that perfectly replicated cockpit, allowing you to truly "pilot" it and enjoy a thrilling round of titanfall 2.
Even more exciting was the ability to interact and communicate verbally with the built-in BT smart AI.
I must immediately let you take the credit points from my wallet! Shut your little mouth! Take the money from my pocket!!!
Bai Luan went up and played three rounds, and after three satisfying experiences, he came down content.
No wonder Silver Wolf wanted to come here.
Any player would dream of coming here.
Silver Wolf, I acknowledge your taste.
This place could truly help him kill time; he probably wouldn't get bored even if he played here for several years, right?
This trip was truly worth it.
It even made Bai Luan feel a bit regretful.
If he had worked harder and copied some game titles from his previous life, wouldn't he be experiencing an explosion of passion-fueled gameplay here now?
Hmm, after I go back, if I have time, I'll make a few more games.
If he had made Black Myth: Wukong, would he now be attacking the Heavenly Court and causing havoc with Monkey King?
Hmm... not quite. If Black Myth doesn't know Journey to the West, the gameplay experience would be greatly diminished... It seems that to bring Black Myth over, there's a lot of work for me to do.
Never mind, I'll talk about it later. I'm on vacation now and don't want to think about work.
After playing intensely for so long, are there any casual games that can help one relax?
Bai Luan entered his needs into his game bracelet, and soon the game bracelet found suitable games and planned a route for Bai Luan based on his request.
On his way there, Bai Luan clearly saw what game the game bracelet had found for him.
It seemed to scan the player's memories, and then, through dreams, completed the player's regrets.
In other words, it allowed the poor to be rich in dreams, Hawking to stand up in dreams, and Lao Da to elbow a helicopter in dreams.
I know this one; it's called artificial lucid dreaming.
But... this game will scan my memories; will it expose my transmigration identity?
"You can play with confidence, I'll be watching. If I mess up this mini-game, my mentor will probably flay me."
"...Are you sure you want to gamble a layer of your skin?"
"Are you questioning me now? Go play, I'm watching, what could go wrong?"
"Alright then, I'll go have a good time in my dream."
Bai Luan sat into the game pod with a hint of anticipation, wondering what kind of dream this game would arrange for him.
Would this game truly know what he wanted, just as its description claimed?
Don't disappoint me.
Bai Luan put on the helmet and entered the game.
In the game, Bai Luan woke up and sat up from the bed.
He curiously looked around and quickly determined where he was.
He had returned to his shabby rental apartment from his previous life.
"This isn't a good memory."
Bai Luan got out of bed and saw his face in the mirror in the room.
Hmm, it was the handsome face after the system's optimization.
So what did this game want to give him?
Cancer miraculously cured?
Then winning the lottery and reaching the pinnacle of life?
It didn't feel very appealing... Just as Bai Luan felt a hint of disappointment with this game, Bai Luan's phone vibrated.
Bai Luan opened his phone, glanced at it, and then froze in place.
"Mom?"
