Chapter 248: Chapter 246: John Sinclair: I Got Cheated On, "Holographic Era" Officially Launches
Staring at the delicate face in front of him, Isabella Xyler’s previously full-anger face suddenly had a hint of red, her lips lightly pressed together, and the corners of her eyes showed a bit of embarrassment.
Seeing this.
John Sinclair’s eyebrows twitched fiercely as he stepped forward, and he spoke without restraint.
"Claire, I’m still here, and you’re already flirting with my wife."
Originally, Bella had a special liking for Claire, and now that Claire occasionally flirted, he felt his position was threatened.
Claire Green was momentarily startled, then let out a delighted low laugh.
What on earth was this guy thinking all day?
But it didn’t end there, as John continued spouting nonsense seriously, "They say you shouldn’t flirt with your friend’s wife, but you’ve already directly touched her, suggesting that Claire has secretly been digging under my fence for a long time."
At this point, even the whole Class Six couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
The previously gloomy atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Isabella secretly pinched him, the shyness on her face long gone.
"Who’s your wife," she retorted, glancing at him with annoyance, then turned back to the girl with a smile, "Olivia, don’t mind him, this guy probably left his brain at home today."
Upon hearing this.
John pouted, tugging at her clothes a bit aggrievedly, "Bella."
Seeing him look like this, Sebastian Winn only felt goosebumps rising all over, feeling deeply creeped out.
John was really becoming more and more shameless, just look at him, and listen to that tone, how does he still resemble the once mighty school bully.
Claire Green’s eyes held a smile as she gazed at him leisurely, suddenly curving her lips and calmly speaking, "Bella."
Though they were both calling her name, Isabella’s attitude was worlds apart.
Her almond-shaped eyes curved as she couldn’t help but let her lips curl up, "I’m here."
Even before the words fell.
John clutched his chest, pretending to be heartbroken, "I need to play a game to console myself."
Saying this, he quickly opened the game, showing no sign of real sorrow.
Seeing this.
Isabella’s lips slightly twitched, with a fake smile, she stared at him, "Need consolation, do you? I’ll give you some."
The next moment.
Everyone saw her slender fingers land on John’s ear, and then she slowly pulled up.
Hiss.
Everyone took a breath and also silently mourned for him.
Seeing how red his ear was, it was clear Isabella really put some force into it.
John grunted, quickly begging for mercy, "Bella, I was wrong, please let go."
If she pulled any further, he didn’t doubt that this ear wouldn’t be able to escape the clutches of fate.
"What was wrong."
John: "Everything was wrong."
Isabella snorted coldly, and seeing his already reddened ear, she couldn’t bear it in the end, and slowly withdrew her hand.
In a moment, she softly spoke, "Does it hurt?"
She should have known better than to lay a hand.
John squeezed the back of her hand, his eyes showing a hint of tender affection, "It doesn’t hurt."
After watching the two for a while, Claire Green’s lips barely imperceptibly curled up, as she lazily went back to her seat.
Supporting her chin with cold, white hands, she watched the whispering pair with interest, and suddenly a mischievous gleam passed through her eyes.
Looking at the freshly snapped photo on her phone, a smirk appeared with a hint of roguishness.
Sebastian Winn leaned over for a look, and softly asked, "Claire, what are you doing with the photo?"
"Of course, to let someone’s brother-in-law have a look."
Upon hearing this, Sebastian sympathetically glanced at John, fearing he was going to be dragged into another sparring session.
...
The small interlude was soon forgotten by everyone.
Each day, they listened attentively to the girl teaching them topics and highlighting key points, living a very fulfilling life.
However, on this day, since the last time the promotional video was released, there had been no activity from Thomas Skin Group until they suddenly updated their Weibo.
[Thomas Skin Group: Thank you all for waiting, "Holographic Era" will be globally launched at noon. Considering some friends couldn’t grab a game pod, we have set up experience centers in every city, so fans, don’t forget to check them out.]
Shortly after it was posted, it quickly trended.
[Finally, it’s here.]
[I didn’t snag a game pod, gearing up now to head to the experience center.]
[Giving birth wasn’t as drawn out as this; the promotional video came out before the new year, and now the game is finally launching.]
[I can finally tell my grandma that the game she was waiting for back in the day is finally released.]
[Wow, your grandma lived really long.]
[I can’t handle it; the comments section is filled with strange remarks.]
Beneath the Weibo post, it was bustling with excitement, and netizens who had long pre-ordered the game pods were gearing up to log into the game.
Experience centers around the globe were also gradually welcoming guests.
When the time arrived, "Holographic Era" launched right on schedule.
Netizens rapidly logged into the game, feeling astounded by the scene in front of them.
Even though it was just a game, they could feel the breeze brushing their faces, carrying a scent of fruits and flowers.
Before they could finish being amazed, an NPC, who had been waiting for a long time, appeared. As soon as she spoke, everyone noticed the natural expressions on her face.
Holy crap, can games really reach this level now?
With the NPC’s beginner’s guide, players who initially just wanted to try it out began taking it seriously.
For no other reason than the fact that the combat actually hurt.
As people got immersed in the game, different attitudes gradually emerged online.
[Holographic Era? It’s just a facade to deceive people.]
[Even with J’s involvement in the development, who would actually believe he possesses such skills?]
[Is it possible? It’s the 21st century, and people are still dreaming unrealistically about holograms.]
[These companies will stoop to anything for money; the term ’holographic’ is almost worn out. Please, just let it go.]
At this moment.
The first wave of players who entered the game finally started to speak up.
[Damn, I just played the game a bit, and the comment section is already a mess.]
[It’s obvious these are sponsored trolls, but some will be disappointed this time. Having just come out of the game, I can responsibly say that "Holographic Era" is a game that truly breaks tradition because it is genuinely holographic.]
[I agree with the comment above. I’ve played so many games claiming to be holographic, but this is the only one that lives up to its name.]
[Every scene is incredibly realistic, especially in the Wuxia template I chose, which has intense combat scenes, and the pain feels incredibly real.]
[Yes, everything in there feels like a real world now. I finally understand why Thomas Skin Group confidently named it "Holographic Era."]
Some netizens who were just there to watch the drama saw these genuine comments and instantly had their curiosity piqued.
Could it really be as good as they say?
Seeing is believing.
They decided to experience it themselves before making judgments.
Subsequently, more and more people gathered at the experience centers, even forming long queues.
After the experience ended, many immediately reserved game pods on the official website, not for any other reason than the fact it left them wanting more.
At the headquarters of Thomas Skin Group in M Country, the operations manager watched the backend order quantities rising continuously, smiling broadly until his eyes nearly formed a line.
He picked up the file on the desk and walked briskly towards the office.
"President, the data is out."
