Chapter 1334: 435. Justify oneself

“Cucumber Slice, you should know that the operation of the game helmet is related to brainwaves,” Noland Lee said.

“Yes, I know,” Cucumber Slice pondered for a moment, his thoughts racing:

“Are you suggesting that the virus I contracted could interfere with my brainwaves through the game helmet? On one hand, it could make me forget to take off the helmet, and on the other hand, it could also force me online?”

Noland was pleased with Cucumber Slice’s quick thinking and smiled:

“Exactly, you’re very close to the truth. So, you can imagine how nasty this virus is. It’s very likely that human brainwaves are the medium for its transmission.”

“Human brainwaves as the medium…” Cucumber Slice’s expression changed dramatically.

In that instant, numerous pessimistic thoughts surged in his mind!

What would happen if a virus could spread through human brainwaves?

Two players, connected indirectly through their brainwaves by the game helmet, could consequently transmit the virus from one to the other.

If such a transmission occurred within the game, it would manifest as…

It would manifest as in-game player interaction behaviors like “Friend Requests”!

Cucumber Slice’s eyes widened as he pulled up his friend request list and looked at the “Invalid” friend request messages.

“So that’s it, that’s it… No wonder I received those inexplicable friend requests, and then contracted the virus right after…”

Noland followed Cucumber Slice’s gaze toward the other’s game interface.

Initially, only the player themselves could see this interface.

But after signing what was called a “Data Tracking Agreement”, Noland could now see Cucumber Slice’s game interface.

Subsequently, Noland also noticed the friend request message.

Noland pondered for a moment, then continued along the lines of Cucumber Slice’s train of thought:

“The essence of interactions within the game is the connection of players’ brainwaves. Through investigation, we have discovered that the primary route of this virus’s transmission is the interactive activities within the game among the players.”

Cucumber Slice steeled his mind and then asked in a thoughtful manner:

“With the player activity levels in Starry Sea, wouldn’t the virus spread incredibly quickly?”

Noland shook his head slightly:

“No, the situation isn’t as bleak as that. It’s true that the virus can spread through brainwaves, but not everyone’s brainwaves can receive it. According to our statistics, only about 1% of players meet the criteria for virus reception. You are among them.”

“What exactly are the criteria for receiving the virus?” Cucumber Slice asked.

Noland didn’t intend to conceal anything in this regard and answered directly:
