Getting A System In A Modern World

Chapter 208: Creating A Buzz

After Kim had seen the pods, she went back to her office to prepare for what's to come.

"How is it?" Silas asked Luna on the progress of contacting the beta testing candidates.

{Done. I have sent a message through different means to each of the candidates. We just have to wait for a response from them.}

Silas nodded in satisfaction when he heard Luna's response. Now, just as Luna said, all they can do right now is wait.

While he waited for a response from the beta testing candidates, Silas decides to get himself busy with other things.

While he plans to do indirect advertising for the game through the beta testing, he still has to properly market and advertise it.

Just as usual, he had Luna to reach out to every advertising platform for the advertising of the game and pod. The advertising isn't going to be flooding at first but subtle instead, but that will be until the beta testing period ends.

Silas knew that with the advertising and marketing, the messages that was sent to the candidates will look even more legit and will make things easier for him.

"Luna, you said that you have something that you want to tell me, what is it?" Silas asked.

He remembered Luna telling him that there was something she wanted to tell him. And from his knowledge of Luna, he knew that if there's something she wants to tell him, then it has be very important.

{It's about the organization. When I went to rescue President Yusmaorobis' daughter, I noticed very strange things. I saw some technologies that should still take at least a hundred years more before it appears.}

Silas' interest was piques when he heard what Luna said. He was curious—extremely curious actually—to know the type of technologies the organization has in their possession.

"At least a hundred years gap from now? Then how did they get those technologies into their hands?" Silas asked, as he thought of multiple possibilities.

{I'm not really sure but my best guess is that they are not from here, at least the knowledge on how to create it but I have no way to verify my claim. I have been investigating the sources of these technologies by tracking it to any possible source but I found nothing, instead I found something else.} Luna said and forwarded something to the Gear.

Silas was slightly surprised by what he was.

"Is that a blaster? Like a real energy blaster gun?" Silas asked as he looked at Luna in confirmation.

{Yes but an inferior version of the real deal. Though it's a very cheap knockoff of the real blaster gun, it's still a blaster gun and the fact that they have it is something I find to be very unbelievable.}

Silas also agreed with Luna's conclusion. She was right, even though it's a cheap knockoff of the real thing, having even an imitation of it should be unpacked within Earth's current level of technology.

"But what are these dead ends I see on the screen?" Silas asked curiously.

{That's the result of each of my investigations.}

"So, all of your investigations lead to a wall?"

{Yes but don't you notice some similarities between all of them?}

"Yes, most of them lead to the same spot... What is that the Bermuda?" Silas asked in shock when he noticed what was Luna was talking about.

{Correct, it's close to the Bermuda and now, the question is why the Bermuda? This isn't also just in the USA, it's in most places around the world.}

Silas was greatly interested by this new piece of information that Luna gave him. If things are as she said, then it adds another layer of complexity to the whole situation but this only made things more interesting for Silas.

"Luna, keep investigating those mysterious places around the world and keep me updated on any progress you make."

Silas was very curious to know the next surprising thing he would hear.

*****

Tucson, Arizona.

Kingsley was just getting off his game with his friends when he saw a notification pop on his phone.

He clicked on it and saw that it's an from a n email from the same company that did the gacha game just downloaded.

He didn't give it much though as he clicked on the message and opened it, and started reading the mail.

A few minutes later, he was done reading the email and was now staring at his phone in disbelief.

"Wait. Wait. Wait. The fuck?!"

He completely has no idea if what he read was real or it was just an prank. He thought about the two possibilities and felt that it was impossible for it to be a prank since it's an email sent using the real email address of the company but it's also beyond impossible for it real either.

"A full dive VR game and Pod?! No way bro! They must be trolling! Like the fuck are they on ....and this images? This video? Ayo, like what the fuck?"

Kingsley's reaction at this point was just ignore the email but curiosity got the better of him as he clicked on the link that was attached to it.

After clicking on the link, he was taken to a website and he was shocked by what he saw.

He didn't know how to react when he saw the videos and images that was being put up on the site.

"Wait, is this for real? Like bro...." He quickly left the site and went to of his social media app, and went to the trending section of the app.

Just as he was expecting, he saw what he was looking for. He knew that if the email is real, then he won't be only one that it would be sent to and that is why he went to check social media to confirm.

"I see I'm not the only one that received the email... So it might be real?"

****

Not just Kingsley, but all the beta testing candidates were in complete shock and disbelief when they got the message.

Some immediately posted it on social media in an attempt to mock the company. But just as they say, no matter what type of publicity it is, all publicity are good publicity.

The internet was now on fire from the news that a company that's less than a year old is about to full dive VR game and Pod, and they are choosing beta testers for it.

Humans as inherently unbelieving as they are, called it bullshit. They started calling out the company, telling it to come and defend their claim and if what they said is true.

They also want to know just how safe this " full dive VR pod and game" is. Just as always, there were people who tried to benefit from the whole situation.

Silas smiled when he saw all the noise that was being made. It was just what he wanted.

It didn't take long before the advertising of the Pod came out and everyone was silenced before an uproar erupted on the internet.

While all these was happening, dark current was also surging underneath.
