Tm with you. Let’s just wait and see. Right now, it’s probably only rich people who can afford to try it. Once regular folks get in, we’ll hear whether it’s actually any good. That’s when we’ll know if getting a pod is worth it. Still, even if I do buy one, I’d want to try it first and read a few reviews. It’s not exactly cheap”
“I just want to dive in and fight. Remember when Kendrick was streaming! He said you can adjust how much pain you feel. That’s got to be way more intense than just button–mashing on a PC. Once I level up and become a top–tier player, no one’s going to touch me.”
“Come on, dream on. What game doesn’t make you spend money? Rich players will always dominate. Even if we scrape enough together to buy a pod, we’ll still be stuck doing grunt work. But hey, maybe we’ll earn some of that money back in- game. Who knows?”
“Guess you didn’t catch the whole stream. Kendrick mentioned the game’s locked to your ID. One person can only create three characters, and even then, you only get four hours a day to play. That limit doesn’t increase if)
fyou make more characters. Plus, there’s a cap on trades. No matter how hard you grind, you’re only going to make a little pocket money. It’s not enough to matter.”
“What? So the game’s just for fun?”
“Pretty much. But honestly, that’s a good thing. It stops people from breaking the game balance. At best, rich players can strut around in flashy outfits, but if they suck at playing, that’s that. It keeps things fair–and that’s what makes a game fun.”
“When you put it like that, yeah, it does make sense. Most online games these days go downhill because of pay–to–win systems and unfair gameplay. But if this one avoids that, then as long as everything else is solid, it could really last. If the pod holds up for ten years, that’s a great deal. And if the developers really get the details right, it might last even longer.”
“If the pod could connect to other games from RealitySplit Group in the future, that’d be perfect. But who knows if they’ll make that happen
“Man, you’re dreaming, What, you think the company’s just going to sell you one pod and then give up on making money? And full–dive VR? Not exactly something you throw together overnight.”
“Hey, you can’t blame me for dreaming. It’s not like I’ve got the cash right now anyway. Maybe once we wrap up filming. I’ll have enough saved up.”
“Didn’t you say you were saving up for a down payment on a house? Now you’ve got cash for a game pod?”
“I’ll just put down a little less. I was going to pay fifty percent; now I’ll do forty. As long as I’ve got a place to live, it’s fine. Worst case, I just pay a bit more every month. I mean, if I kick the bucket someday, I’m not taking the house with gaming? That joy is mine. Even if I die, those memories stick with me. The fun stays.”
But
“Wow, you really thought that through. No wonder you didn’t even get mad when the director tore into you the other day.”
“What’s there to be mad about? If I messed up, that’s on me. Can’t blame anyone else. As long as I’m getting paid, the rest doesn’t matter to me. I couldn’t care less.”
Their conversation drifted all over the place, but Freya couldn’t help feeling even more confident in Louis’s comeback. Even regular folks were already planning to buy the pod–of course the rich would too.
Everyone wants to try something once considered impossible–who wouldn’t want to step into a world that blurs the line between real and virtual? So there was no doubt Louis was about to make a fortune. With this first wave of cash, he finally had a stable foundation–money he could rely on. He’d never have to go through another downfall just because he ran out of funds.
That was the thing about Louis. When he failed, it wasn’t really failure–it was all part of the plan. He was building a strategy. setting things up for something much bigger. And when he succeeded, it wasn’t some fleeting glory–it was sustainable. Long–term. Stable. The kind of success that gave every future move a rock–solid foundation.
Freya knew she couldn’t match that kind of vision or skill, not even if she lived another twenty years. That kind of mindset, that perspective–it was on another level. She was just an ordinary person. It wasn’t even something she dared dream about.
Well, maybe that’s not quite right. It’s more like she never had that kind of desire. All those fancy clothes and gourmet meals didn’t tempt her the way she thought they would.

45 Free Coins
Call it growing up with less, call it simple taste–either way, she just couldn’t see the difference between something that cost ten grand and something that cost a few hundred. A giant mansion didn’t feel as warm as a cozy apartment. And instead of partying in a designer dress, she’d much rather be on her balcony, gently swaying in a hammock with a book in her hands.
That’s just how she grew up, and she wasn’t about to change now.
Sure, the rich life looked glamorous. But if you asked Freya, she’d say that having a million or two was more than enough to live comfortably–and actually enjoy it.
