Old news (1)

After a small history lesson, Light started telling me recent news.

But I didn't understand much, yes news, but if they are about wars or inventions in the new world, it's a bit dull.

As I was listening, Light was talking about the news, I enjoyed the sea view, but then I heard something.

Me: Light stop, talk to me more about GOD(s) online.

Light: As you wish. GOD(s) online is the first virtual reality online game that supports the highest time ratio between reality.

Me: Not that, I wanted to know more about the game.

Light: I understand. GOD(s) online is the first mega-scale virtual reality online, supported by the World Alliance. The company who made the game is called Frigatebird. They also created a new type of pod that supports a far longer time difference and makes virtual reality, like second reality, there is almost no difference between reality, and game.

Me: No difference?

Light: Yes, the pod and helmet have a special serum inserted that helps people who get too into a false reality come back.

Me: Is there nothing more?

Light: As I said before, GOD(s) online is supported by the World Alliance. Because of that, there are no information leaks.

Me: Well, get me a helmet or a pod, then.

Light: There are different tiers for helmets or pods.

Me: What's the difference?

Light: More expensive helmets and pods are more comfortable and come with additional serums and rewards in the game.

Me: How does one use serums on a helmet?

Light: Serums aren't only in liquid form, but for the helmets, they sell them in capsule form.

Me: I see, are serums necessary?

Light: Yes, some serums work like medical pod serums and support the body. But there is only one serum that is required and pounded by law. It's a reality serum that helps people adapt back to real life if you don't have it in a helmet or pod, then it's not possible to use them.

Me: I understand, I suppose the pods are better than helmets.

Light: Yes.

Me: Show me the pods, starting with the cheapest.

After that, I saw my left-hand watch shining softly, and a second later the screen appeared in front of me.

On the screen, I saw a list of pods. The cheapest was only five hundred credits and the most expensive fifty million credits.

Me: How much is five hundred credits?

Light: An average person earns on simple jobs above five hundred credits each month.

Me: I see, and how much do I have?

Light: You have shares in your grandmother company, thanks to that, you earn each year at least a few hundred million, from your family company. Right now you have accumulated two billion and three hundred million.

Me: I see, I guess I will take the most expensive one, they do say, the more you spend, the larger the starting space between others.

Light: I understand.

As I continued looking at the tier list, I got reminded of the earth games. Before the game gets released on earth, you can always buy an overpriced early access key package, the more you pay, the better the headstart and extras.
