Chapter 74: NRV

"Oh, you returned, brat," MingYue said.

MingHao looked at his sister's face, then asked, "Are you thinking about a man, sis? Do I have a brother-in-law?"

His question made MingYue's cheeks turn red, "What are you saying, brat? Don't say something like that again. Here, catch, this is for you."

Ming Yue threw the storage ring, where Vesa sealed the Xueqi ancestor.

Ming Hao caught it easily, but he looked at his sister with widened eyes, 'Did she just blush? My cold-hearted sister???' he asked in his mind, but MingHao didn't dare to talk further about this topic.

Ming Yue could guess what Ming Hao was thinking, but she didn't want to talk about it, "Come here, sit, tell me what happened in detail."

Ming Hao walked in a daze and then started telling his story to MingYue.

Even though she had already known what had happened, she wanted to know everything in more detail, what her parents had said to him and how they had acted before it all happened.

She wants to try to understand what is running in their mind. When they choose to leave their own kids.

Meanwhile, after the talk with Ming Yue, Alex had already made some plans for what he could do with the goblin kids, but he lacked the tools and equipment to do it at his home.

Having some free time, Alex returned to his hobby, reading novels.

But this time, he wanted to try it with an app he had just created. It's something he made as a side project from the Awe system.

Using Vesa's help, he translated how it works in modifying the environment inside the Awe Cube into computer code. He then linked it with AI, which he named the Novel Realistic Visualization Project.

By inputting a novel chapter into the app, it will process it and recreate the scene in VR, allowing him to watch what is happening like a VR movie.

After achieving this, Alex wondered why such an app had never existed in the market. He then realized the only reason he achieved this easily was Vesa's help.

It's not impossible to do, but significant investment is required to develop AI. However, the biggest problem is if it succeeds, it will eliminate many jobs and industries.

Who would bother watching a movie if they could just copy a story online and put it there? It's the same with anime, manga, and VR.

The reason novels still succeed to this day, even with anime, movies, and VR, is because it allows those who read them to recreate the scene using their own imagination, and everyone has a different take on this.

However, anime, movies, and other media take all of it away, turning the imagination into something tangible, but often, it's not the same as the reader's expectation.

Thankfully, in Alex's world, there are solutions for this. With the Erx chip, which can accept people's thoughts as input, this problem is solved.

It will take both the scene and the reader's imagination, then recreate everything in VR, allowing senses of touch and everything—the wet dream of all novel readers. Or at least, it's like that for Alex; he feels very excited about his creation.

This, in his opinion, is the ultimate entertainment system.

Even compared to VR, where people can do everything they want, most people, when given complete freedom, instead become blank on what to do or choose.

However, using the NRV combines both the freedom of imagination and direction from the scene by the author. The user only needs to turn off their brain and enjoy everything.

Not only that, with Ai like Vesa, they could even remake everything in a game, inserting themself into the story. There are almost no limitations on what they can do.

His creation could easily turn the industry upside down and earn them tons of money, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good idea.

This money would come from dominating the entertainment market, making all the other giants lose their share. This would then incite conflict even worse than his family's rise to the one percent of the richest people on the planet.

So, Alex decided to use it only for his personal use.

He also didn't plan to introduce it to the Bai Yue sect, as he was worried this would make them addicted and choose to live in the imagined VR world forever.

But his creation has a big downside; since it recreates the scene, it will take time to enjoy it, far longer than just reading a novel chapter. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alex then chooses a specific chapter with a good scene. But he didn't choose one with an epic fight; his mood wasn't that good after his talk with MingYue.

Instead, he chose a bittersweet scene.

In this scene, the MC succeeds in his life's goal: he beats the main villain and finally becomes a god, gaining the ability to resurrect everyone dear to him.

But it turns out that even that ability is not enough; he needs to choose between his parents and loved ones.

Caught in a dilemma, the protagonist finally decides to choose the most important thing for him; he burns his whole cultivation, resurrecting both his parents and lover.

Seeing all of it in an immersive virtual environment made Alex's mood turn even more somber because he knew this scene was not the ending.

Alex doesn't know if the author just wants to prolong the story or really had that plan in mind since the next plot gets a lot of hate from the readers, where they thought after reading 1000+ chapters the story ended, but it still continued, writing how the MC, in the end, dies and leaves his family alone because he sacrificed his cultivation.

His lifespan becomes short, making him leave everyone first.

The author then continues to write how the rest of his family lives in agony afterward. "It's weird. I learn many more things from novels than from school," he mumbled.
