MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 254: The Full Dive Pods Arrive.

Rudra logged out of the VR helmet , he took a shower and the moment he closed his eyes under the water , scenes from the game he played went through his mind.

This was the problem with VR technology , the bloodlust of mankind that was laid to rest by modern society. The primal instincts that were gone by living in a cultural society , were slowly being brought back after killing beasts and men alike in the VR game day after day.

Though the issue not very evident currently in the first year of the game , the crime rate for brutal physical assaults saw a spike in the world this year.

Ancient sports like hunting began to gain popularity , and swords and daggers started to be produced in masses again.

The rich preffered the actually forged weapons made by very skilled artists , while the poor purchased the factory mass produced weapons.

People wanted to get the satisfying feel of using the blade in the real world as they felt inside the virtual world.

Many self claimed all knowing youtubers made bullshit videos about how to train in real life with the sword to improve in the virtual world.

Rudra knew that this was partially true , but more false. The truth was that training in the virtual world was 3 times more effective to learn anything , anything at all.

As at that time only your brain would be functioning , it would fully soak every sensation , every movement and commit it to memory. Learning swordsmanship in the VR world , one could become an actual master.

Rudra's physique had improved after playing Omega , although he rarely exercised , the calory consumption on his body by his brain alone was terryfingly high. Little by little , his muscles now knew the sensation of kicking someone's shield , while his arms knew how to pierce their hearts when they are thrown offbalance.

Never used it in a real fight , but every sensation was 100% inside him. And that feeling would only increase after the purchase he would make today at midnight.

Cuber corporation would on its online portal release the Full dive VR pods , with 99.9% neural sync rate , it was a massive upgrade from the 95% sync rate helmets , the pods would feel exactly the same as the original body , the difference between real and virtual was only going to blur going forward.

Cuber was only going to release 10,000 units today , and Rudra had been prepared to buy them all , in his previous life they had been silently released without anyone knowing about it. However they still sold out by 12 :30 , as cubers online site to buy VR helmets saw over 100,000 people traffic everyday. When the news about the VR Pods was out , it was sold-out in 10 minutes.

This time around , Rudra would just buy them all within 1 minute of release at 12 am , he would just hold the plus sign till it maxed out , and pay the total amount in one fell swoop.

The VR pods were to cost about 100,000 dollars for the initial models , and would cut down to 30,000 dollars within one year. However Rudra was prepared to spend the ten billion dollar price and buy all the units at once.

Ethan Grey was funding him , soo this much was to be expected. What was the point of Ethan owning a 30% stake in his guild if he could not even exploit a few expensive items from the man .

He knew that Ethan loved his money , however for things like investing to improve his own buisness , he was never shy to fork out money. If the investment would improve the Elites's gameplay , then it was worth it for Ethan .

The cuber corporation would only put out 10,000 units once a week for the next 3 months , hence a very limited amount of total dive pods would be available till the Olympics.

This was because they could not scale the production of parts properly without the price skyrocketing , the materials used inside were insanely expensive.

Hence the limited stock caused the slow release. For normal players the sync rate difference of 5% did not matter at all , however for professional players it was a difference of heaven and earth. If their reflexes became just a little more sharper , if their movements became a little more refined. If their survivability increased only by a fraction , it could potentially turn the outcome of a fight for them , hence the investment was worth it.

Rudra just smiled as the clock hit 11:59 , he thought back to his times in the past life where he could not even have a meal two times a day sometimes , and this life , where he was going to potentially make a 10 billion dollar purchase. How had the odds changed. He had dreamed about someday owning a VR pod , however he did not have 30K dollars even after the prices hit the lowest point . His dream would now be complete.

When the clock struck 12:00 am , Rudra refreshed the page. Ecstatic when the VR pods were indeed listed. Not wasting a single second , with trembling hands Rudra continually pressed on the plus sign

The number of units sign went up by a fast count untill it reached 9999 , Rudra cursed , someone bought one unit . Not wasting a single second , Rudra chose to pay for the remaining units. And at 12:01 he completed the transaction.

Nearly 10 billion were spent on 9999 VR pods , and Rudra was beyond ecstatic. He could not wait to see the expression on the faces of the guild members after they all were gifted one each.

What he longed for soo much in his last life , now not only he , but his entire guild would have , and before the entire world at that!

/// The psychological effects of playing Omega for a longtime have been discussed in this chapter , personally I beleive that playing the game longtime would change how a man views the world , but I'd love to hear what you guys think about the issue ///
