Shen Wei set up a gaming room for Gu Qingyan.
Since there was often construction work going on in that area, it didn't attract too much attention. However, Gu Qingyan was quite the attention-seeker.
Whenever Shen Wei did something for him, he wanted to broadcast it to the whole world. As a result, not only did Gu Qingyan's entire family know about the gaming room Shen Wei was creating for him, but he had also spread the news to all his close friends. He even posted boastful messages about it on various social media platforms.
Ever since Starry Sky Kindergarten became famous, the social media accounts of Teacher Tang, Doctor Lu, Shen Wei, and Gu Qingyan had all been discovered by fans.
Many of these followers were fans of Starry Sky Kindergarten. Seeing Gu Qingyan showing off like this, netizens couldn't help but tease: "We get it, bro. You've finally made it official."
"You're the principal's favorite."
Gu Qingyan secretly liked these comments.
There were already quite a few fans shipping them as a couple, and now that one of the main parties had liked these comments, the discussions became even more heated. Almost every minute, dozens of new comments were added.
Gu Qingyan would pick out messages wishing him and Shen Wei well and like them frantically.
A mysterious smile played on his lips.
He couldn't be happier.
Previously, Shen Wei had told Gu Qingyan that all her attention was focused on running the kindergarten. She didn't have time for romance.
He respected her wishes.
But Gu Qingyan longed for some progress, and now that progress had finally come, he was like a strutting peacock, wanting to show off his tail feathers at every moment!
Shen Wei was being very secretive about the gaming room she was setting up for him, not letting him see it.
But Gu Qingyan had already made up his mind. No matter what it looked like, he was going to praise it extravagantly.
The thought behind it was what mattered most.
On Shen Wei's end, many of the items for the gaming room were ready-made. They just needed to be assembled.
Shen Wei didn't want Gu Qingyan to know, and he was surprisingly obedient.
He didn't come to look even once. It took half a month for the renovation to be completed.
Finally, Gu Qingyan was allowed to come over.
He didn't just come by himself. He told everyone at the kindergarten.
As a result, many people came to see it.
The room was truly impressive, a blue-gray gaming room with a futuristic feel.
The most eye-catching features were a body pod, two computers, and a bed.
It was suitable for both gaming and resting.
Moreover, the computers here had the most high-end graphics cards available on the market.
Just one graphics card was worth 50,000 yuan.
As for the body pod, it was impossible to estimate its value.
Everyone was stunned.
Doctor Lu said from the side, "What's this? It couldn't be a holographic game, could it?"
They had only read about such holographic games in novels before.
It was said to be an immersive experience.
But with current technology, even some 3D or 5D movies weren't quite there yet.
However, Shen Wei bringing this equipment felt so sci-fi, it was like a dream come true.
Gu Qingyan had planned to praise Shen Wei profusely.
But when he saw the actual setup, all words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to come out.
He touched the holographic game pod, his heart surging with emotion.
Beside him, Doctor Lu was itching to try it out and asked, "Can I play for a bit?"
Gu Qingyan immediately said, "This is for me!" Then he glanced at Shen Wei, "Right?" He still sounded a bit unsure.
Mainly because the gaming room was just too good.
Shen Wei said, "Of course, feel free to play."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Qingyan lay down in the pod and put on the special helmet.
All of Gu Qingyan's operations were projected in the air.
They could see his game progress through his actions.
He set up a new account and chose a shooting game from among 20 available games.
Gu Qingyan's experience was completely 3D.
Once he entered the game, he could even feel the gentle breeze on his face, such minute sensations were present.
Moreover, in the bushes, the feeling of grass brushing against his body felt incredibly real.
Soon, enemies appeared.
Gu Qingyan swung his gun and immediately charged forward.
Whether it was due to the 3D effect or not,
His reaction speed was incredibly fast.
There was no sense of lag at all.
Bang bang, two shots, and he eliminated two enemies.
He continued moving forward.
Gu Qingyan had never played a game with such amazing tactile feedback.
Even the recoil in his shoulder from those two shots felt exactly like the real thing.
And the sudden tension when enemies appeared, the immediate surge of adrenaline.
After playing intensely for 20 minutes, he was completely exhausted.
When he came out and took off the helmet, he felt a bit disoriented.
Doctor Lu had been asking from the side, "How is it? Is the game fun?"
He had been very eager to try it since he saw it earlier.
He wondered if playing it for real would give that 3D feeling.
Gu Qingyan said, "It's amazing!" It was hard to imagine that a game could be made like this.
Simple praise was not enough to express his excitement at that moment.
Looking at Shen Wei, he was speechless for a long time, then suddenly hugged her. Doctor Lu couldn't bear to watch, thinking, "What are you doing in front of everyone?"
"I love it so much!" He invited Doctor Lu and others to play.
Only by experiencing it could they truly understand how good it was.
Doctor Lu chose a fishing game, and every cast of the rod felt incredibly realistic.
And after a while, including the force needed when reeling in,
The fish leaping out of the water, its tail splashing water droplets onto his face.
He could feel the dampness on his face.
He seemed to be able to smell the faint fishy scent coming from the fish.
When he put the fish in the bucket, there was a splash.
The tactile feedback was incredibly well done.
Importantly, there was also a farming game, which tempted Liu Chef to try it out. He spent twenty minutes farming in the game pod.
When Liu Chef came out, he was still reluctant to leave: "This game is so interesting, where did you buy this game? How much does it cost?"
Shen Wei said, "It was sent from the laboratory, it's not for sale yet, there's only one."
When everyone heard this, thinking it might be confidential, they immediately nodded in understanding.
"If it's not too expensive in the future, I'd like to buy one too!"
Doctor Lu had made some money at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
If there really was such a game pod available, he would be willing to spend 200,000 yuan on it.
Moreover, it came with 20 built-in games, which he had carefully looked at, and they all seemed very fun.
Gu Qingyan looked at Shen Wei with stars in his eyes.
Shen Wei had given him such an amazing gift, he didn't want to let anyone else touch it, but he also wanted to show off so badly, wanting everyone to know just how incredible this gift was!
Indeed, now everyone knew how truly impressive his gift was.
Everyone crowded around Shen Wei, eager to buy one as well.
However, upon learning that the product's release was still far off in the future, they soon turned their attention to Gu Qingyan. They hoped Gu Qingyan would let them play for a while, even if they had to pay.
Gu Qingyan felt a mix of excitement and pain, but still agreed. Each person could play for 20 minutes per day.
As a result, Gu Qingyan's gaming room became the most popular spot during lunch breaks.
Gu Qingyan felt some regret. What was meant to be his personal gift had turned into something shared by everyone.
Yet, the thrill of it all kept a smile tugging at his lips. After all, Shen Wei had still shown her special favor to him alone.
