Greatest Streamer System

July 22nd.

After the usual morning exercise, Max received a call from StoneSword.

"Can you go to New Eden City right now? I need you to test something."

"Is it done?" Max asked with a hint of excitement. He wiped his sweat with the towel he brought from home.

"The prototype is." StoneSword answered with a nod, "We just need to have a final testing. Maybe we will finish it in a week, right before the Streamer Wars if there is nothing wrong with the system. We have developed it for a long time so I am sure it will work perfectly."

"Awesome." Max grinned. "Anything I need to bring?"

"Bring Lily with you too. I want to see her compatibility with the new VR Capsule. After all, we developed it for her."

"That goes without saying. I will be there in the afternoon.

"Okay. Just stay in the Biozone Hotel. I have already made a reservation with my name."

"Sure, see you there."

Max hung up the call and smiled broadly. He returned to his apartment to get ready, explaining briefly to Lily that they had to go to New Eden City.

Half an hour later, they went to Sky Rail station and departed. Lily liked using the Sky Rail to travel. All this time, she would always use a private jet and that became boring.

The moving scenery, the clear sky, and the beautiful greenery underneath their eyes felt surreal to her. It was something she had never experienced before until she started traveling with Max.

Unfortunately, that trip ended pretty soon. New Eden City was in sight already.

They stepped out of the station and went to the Biozone Hotel immediately. Max was already used to it. He had filled Lily with what he heard from her brother, StoneSword.

"Soon, you will be able to play just like how you used to be."

"Un. I am looking forward to it." She smiled brightly at him.

Entering the hotel, Max was about to go to the receptionist to check in.

"Lily!"

However, a voice made them stop on their track. Looking toward the source of the voice, a woman whose blonde hair was making an amazing drill waved her hand. She took off her sunglasses and smiled at them.

"Sister Rebecca?" Lily gasped in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Rebecca beckoned them to come over and they did as she was told. Max also knew Rebecca since his company's relationship with StoneSword was pretty deep, after all.

"Peter can't come so I am the one greeting you today. We will go to the lab together." She said and explained what she was doing.

As a reporter and StoneSword's fiance, she was given an exclusive right to interview him regarding the newly developed VR Capsule. It had only been a few years since the latest one was released and now, Spencer company has already released the next model.

If the news was spread, it would become big news. Developing a new VR machine wasn't as easy as it sounded. Only by spending a lot of resources and time would they be able to do it.

"Then, please check in first. I will call my driver to pick us up. Fufufu, this is an opportunity for me to get exclusive news for this project." She said excitedly while chuckling lightly.

They checked into the hotel and went up to the room where they left their stuff and freshened up before going out. Once they arrived at the Lobby, the car called by Rebecca had arrived and they entered. Max naturally took the seat beside the driver, letting Lily to talk with Rebecca, her sister-in-law, easier.

He was an understanding boyfriend. He knew Lily wanted to ask about her brother's condition and how he was doing lately.

"Your brother is fine, though a bit tired. He has been moving here and there every day in order to obtain approval and sponsorship. Other than that? He's the same as ever."

"I see." Lily nodded with a smile as she gazed down with a bit of embarrassment in her voice. "I hope he doesn't force himself."

Seeing Lily's cute expression, Rebecca immediately hugged and patted her head with a wide grin on her face. Her hand rubbed Lily's hair gently. "So cute!"

"P-Please release me, sister Rebecca." She stuttered while being assaulted by Rebecca's hand.

Max smiled wryly when he saw them before averting his attention toward the window, watching the city scenery through his eyes. The building here was magnificent, looking futuristic yet beautiful at the same time.

The hover car drove down the street and they eventually arrived at a large building located on the other side of the city. The gate opened to welcome them inside where many other staff in a suit were walking around and entered the buildings.

"Welcome, Miss Ludger. And welcome Miss Spencer and Mr. Charles. The CEO is waiting in his office."

One of the staff came to greet them and escorted them into the elevator which Rebecca operated by herself. The office was located on the highest floor of the building, taking up half of the whole building size itself.

When they stepped out of the elevator, a black-haired man with a cold face was waiting for them, standing beside the large transparent glass door leading to the office.

He looked at the incoming trio and his expression melted immediately. A soft smile was formed on his lips as he called out to Lily.

"Lily."

"Brother." She nodded slowly, showing her guilt.

Max also felt a pang of guilt for being unable to help with the capsule's development. Right now, StoneSword's face didn't look really good. Not fitting for the number 1 streamer in the most handsome ranking.

While he tried his best to use makeup to hide it, the panda eyes couldn't be erased that easily. His skin was also dry. It was clear he hadn't slept for a few days, even though he was strong enough to not fall asleep during the day.

"Good to see you." Rebecca smiled. "Still no sleep?"

"Yes." He sighed out as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "We finally finished this morning. There are still things that need to be worked out but we will just leave it for later after testing."

StoneSword looked at Max and nodded.

"Anyway, let's get straight into it. We have prepared everything on the lower floor. We will begin right now."

Without any further words, they followed StoneSword to the basement of the building. To be more precise, they went down to the underground basement level -21.

'Wow... Isn't this really secretive? It's like we're going to a secret lab' Max thought amusingly as they walked down the dimly lit corridor with many large steel doors on the side.

The security was tight. Considering they developed something that could change the world and gained a massive profit.

And if this VR Capsule was better than before, even if it was just 2 to 4 percent better, it would sell like a hot cake.

"It's here." StoneSword said as he stopped in front of a large steel door on the left side of the corridor. He scanned his thumbprint and pressed his right eye against the scanner on the door and typed a code into the keyboard that appeared from the wall.

A mechanical sound could be heard from behind the door, followed by a green light that flashed around it once.

Click!

The door automatically opened, revealing a large underground lab full of many complex machines with several engineers who were working inside them. Some were monitoring the experiment, while some were writing down notes for later use.

They also noticed Max and Lily's presence. Upon seeing StoneSword's face, they began to set up the machine.

"How is the condition?"

Walking into the lab, StoneSword immediately checked and questioned the researchers inside.

"We are done preparing everything, sir."

"Can we begin testing now?"

StoneSword nodded after hearing the report from the researchers. He beckoned Max and Lily to follow him to one of the stations where many hologram panels were installed in a circular formation.

"We can do it right now. This is the control panel that will monitor your body condition and brainwave during the test. First of all, we will do a test with Breeze alone as we need to configure the setting. After that, we will test Lily's compatibility with the new machine."

"Is there something I need to do or prepare?" Max asked while observing the control panel.

A complicated look could be seen on StoneSword's face as he stared at Max, "That's... There is no preparation you need to do. However..." He looked hesitant to continue.

"However?"

"Be prepared for a slight pain. We created a VR Machine that could administer Nutritional Supplement and nutrients through the skin via direct contact using a patch, but it needs to connect directly to your bloodstream. A substance necessary to keep a body at peak condition. It could increase your energy, improve brain activity, and lower stress levels."

"In short?"

"By theory, people could stay inside virtual reality for a week without a problem using this machine. However, I don't recommend it. First, it's unknown if the body could take it without deteriorating."

StoneSword explained with a sigh. "Another issue is the effect on your skin. The patch contains the nutrition and substances needed for the human body but it could make your skin pale if you use it too often. But with this, theoretically-"

"I understand what you're trying to say, but... Is it safe?"

Max interrupted him before he could say anything more.

Realizing that he was about to go off-topic, StoneSword nodded and continued with a calm expression.

"Yes, of course. This is completely safe. After all, I wouldn't do anything dangerous to my own sister. I created this machine for her."

"That's all that I want to hear." Max nodded in satisfaction and grinned. "Well then, let's test this immediately. Lily, are you okay with it?"

"I am fine." She smiled softly before nodding her head in approval. "Let's try it, brother."

"Okay."

Nodding, StoneSword ordered all the researchers in the room to prepare the machine. He made sure everything was good before taking Max to where the new capsule was.

"Here it is."

The capsule looked different from the one that Max used. It was bigger and bulkier due to all the new components and items installed on top of it. That being said, it still retained its normal size that looked like it could contain Max's body.

Without hesitation, Max entered the capsule and wore the helmet. He placed his trust toward StoneSword, not a single doubt in his heart about this new virtual reality machine. After all, it was designed and developed for Lily's use by a siscon. So he didn't expect it to have any flaws in it.

"Alright. Whenever you're ready."

"Do it."

Max heard a voice through his headset before feeling the sensation of falling into darkness.

A few seconds later, he found himself inside an empty white space that resembled the Synchronization Test.
