Lu Zhixing opened his eyes again and found himself on a moving subway.
People kept popping into existence around him, appearing in the subway car or on the seats, giving the scene a vibe reminiscent of a massively multiplayer online game.
Clearly, the subway and bus systems had been designed as entry points for players logging into the Virtual City, similar to the approach taken by "Ordinary Life".
Inevitably, there were instances of players appearing and disappearing out of thin air, which was slightly immersion-breaking, but unavoidable.
After all, if a player suddenly decided to quit and took off their gaming helmet, they would simply vanish from the virtual world.
However, these minor flaws didn't detract from the overall experience, as the authenticity of the Virtual City was already high. If anything, the unrealistic elements helped players mentally affirm that the world was virtual, allowing them to enjoy everything more freely and without psychological burden.
