Chapter 125: Capsule Presentation

"Oh, are these the capsules Eric was talking about?" Alex thought as he clicked on the thumbnail. The video opened up to show a large capsule in the middle of the room and a man ready to talk.

"Welcome to the video everyone. Today is the first unveiling of the capsules for the ever-popular game Eternal Cultivation. And Deva corp has given me the honor and opportunity of being the person to introduce these capsules to you."

The man walked up to the capsule and talked as he put his hands on it.

"These bed-sized capsules are the latest products of Deva Corp. You can open these capsules like this and enter here. Once you are inside, you will have to put nothing on your head or body to be able to play. All you do, is you press this button right near your left hand and let the lid close."

The man showed everything one had to do to log in. It seemed pretty easy to Alex.

"As you guys know, Eternal Cultivation can recognize you as the same player no matter how many helmets you chance, this is the same. As long as you log in, you will end up with the same character."

The man moved to the front and started talking about the various other features of the capsule. Saying how fast it processed everything or how much more realistic the game would look now.

"Do you know what the best thing about this capsule is?" the man prompted a question to the camera.

"It is the fact that you won't have to leave the capsule to eat or drink or go to the bathrooms at all. The Deva Corp has managed to make it so that all of your normal bodily functions slow down when you enter the game."

"So all of you game addicts can go into the game without worrying about food or bathrooms ever again. However, Deva Corp still recommends you log out once a day to eat some food and do other things. Also, don't forget to exercise guys. I know you guys only sleep and don't exercise."

The man laughed as he was handed a piece of paper from the side.

"Here we have it, folks. The official numbers. This piece of paper contains the cost and the release date of these capsules. Even I do not know what information is inside, so you guys will know it along with me," as he said that, he started to open the piece of paper very slowly to build suspense among his viewers.

"Oh, we have the date first. And it is going to be released in…" When Alex heard the date, he was surprised.

"That is around 2 weeks from now. Much closer than I had expected." Eric had mentioned it is about 3 weeks away, but it seemed that was not the case. The capsules would be here before they even knew it.

'Where would I even keep it if I got it?' he started to wonder. While the dorm room was big, it wasn't big enough to fit 4 capsules along with the beds and the closets. He stopped thinking about the problem for now and kept on watching the video.

The man further opened the page until it was fully opened.

"Hmm…" a sound of surprise came from the man. "This can't be." The man spoke out loud in shock as he kept on looking at the piece of paper. He slowly looked up at the camera with a face of incredulous and started talking.

"You won't believe me, folks. That is how good the price is." The man stopped talking to increase the suspense more.

"The capsule will be on sale with a cost of $600. 600 dollars guys, 600 dollars. That's a steal if you ask me."

"However, that is not the best part about the price announcements. It would seem the rumors about us being able to return our VR helmets for a discount at the store were true. Depending on the time of the purchase of your helmets, these are the discount percentage you would get."

"To anyone who bought the VR helmet within the first two weeks of sales, you get a 50% discount while buying the capsule."

"To anyone who bought the VR helmet within the second 2 weeks of sales, you get a 60% discount."

"To anyone who bought the VR helmet within the last 2 weeks of sales, you get a 70% discount."

"As for those who can't wait for the capsule coming up in the next 2 weeks, you can just get a helmet and return it back for absolutely free for a whopping 80% discount.

"Guys, you can just go buy a helmet, play for two weeks, then return it back and get a capsule for 120 bucks. That's 20 bucks more than the original price for 2 weeks worth of playing. Go get it if you haven't right now."

"Honestly, with such advanced technology, I wonder why Deva Corp is still refusing to use them in sectors like education and health care. And instead, they just focus on the game."

The video ended soon after. 'Should I get it?' Alex started wondering. Just the fact that he wouldn't have to log out 4 times a day made the capsule worth it. With that, he could play a lot more and earn a lot more money. But, there was no place to keep the capsule.

VR Helmet was one thing, but he wasn't sure if the dorm even allowed its student to get something like a capsule inside.

"The other 3 want one as well. Even if the dormitory allows us, I don't see where we are supposed to keep them." Alex thought as he looked around. 4 capsules could fit, but then there would be no place to move around in the room.

He sighed and thought, "Now that I have money, should I just rent a room somewhere near the college?"
