We should do that in…naked?

When Hua Shu enters his room, there are already two men inside the room. They're wearing a white lab coat like what the doctor usually wears. It surprised Hua Shu a bit since he's expecting the room was empty. Besides those men, there's a game pod similar to what Hua Shu saw before in the briefing, and some computers in the table near the pod.

Hua Shu: "Ah, excuse me…Am I enter the right room?"

Those men smile when hearing this question

"If you are Mr. Hua Shu, then you enter the right room. Ah, right…let me introduce ourselves. My name is Ma Ling and he's my partner Ke Chu. We're assigned to assist and observing you during the test"

Hua Shu: "Oh, is that so. I'll be in your care then. May I know what I should do for the testing?"

Ma Ling: "You can start by putting your belonging in that cabinet first, Mr. Hua Shu"

Ma Ling pointed at the locker cabinet in the room. Hua Shu nodded and opens the locker and put his bag inside the locker.

Hua Shu: "Alright, what's next?"

Ma Ling: "Before the testing start, I will tell you about the game pod first since I believe this is your first time using such a gadget, right?"

Hua Shu: "Yes, this is my first time using such a gadget. Is that true we can play games for days without leaving the pod?"

Ma Ling: "That's something you'll be experienced yourself, Mr. Hua Shu. In fact, we're expecting the tester can stay within the pod in weeks not just days"

Hua Shu: "Oh, that's what avid gamers dreaming of. You know, it's hard for gamers to leave the game just to eat or for the natural call when they're in a crucial moment in the game, like in attempt of defeating the last boss"

Ma Ling: "Yes, we aware of those circumstances. That's the purpose of this pod created in first place. Since this pod is still in prototype, all procedures will be handled manually to avoid mishap from happening. Later when this pod enters mass production phase, it would be a fully automated one. Do you want to know how it works?"

Ma Ling pointed the wires and cables connected the pod with computers within the room.

Hua Shu: "Yes please, if you don't mind"

Ma Ling: "No, not at all. In fact, we glad if the tester show interest with how the pod work. Well, there's no one use the pod, so I can't show the works of this pod fully, but at least you get the gist of the operation system. You see, in this panel, we monitoring the temperature inside the pod, in that panel we monitoring the user condition. On the other screen, we monitor the operation of the pod, the energy system, life support system, etc. it's a complex system which integrated many independent systems into one big operating system. Is that easy to understand, Mr. Hua Shu?"

Ma Ling shows Hua Shu the display in the computer's screen which connected with the pod.

Hua Shu: "Yeah, I get the picture of how the system works somehow. But isn't this can be operated by one person only?"

Ma Ling: "Hahaha…You jest, Mr. Hua Shu, we're not a robot, we also need rest from this work, you know? I and Mr. Ke Chu take a turn in observing the gadget and the tester. That ensures you that you'll never be neglected and always in our care. Other testers also have two observers in their respective room"

Hua Shu: "Ah, that's surely assuring. When we should start the test?"

Ma Ling: "As soon as possible will be better, Mr. Hua Shu, since we must run some pre-test first and make sure the pod working properly. We also need to attach some measurement instruments in your body to check the result"

Hua Shu: "No problem. We can start right away. Should I enter the pod now?"

Ma Ling: "Not so fast, Mr. Hua Shu. May I suggest you take a bath first before entering the pod?"

Hua Shu tilted his head because of hearing this suggestion.

Hua Shu: "Erm…may I ask why you give such a suggestion, Mr. Ma Ling?"

Ma Ling: "Well, we will conduct the test in the condition you enter the pod without anything attached to your body"

Hua Shu: "EHH?…EHHH??…AHHH!!!…You mean, we do that test…in naked?"

That explanation surely beyond Hua Shu expectation, even in his wildest imagination.
