"Squeak...puff..."

The bus door opened, and Wu Haitao walked out of the car with his luggage bag on his back.

After taking the high-speed train for six hours and transferring two more cars, he finally arrived in this strange city.

This is an ordinary small town that he has ever lived in and rarely heard of. It is located in the mainland of China.

This is Awen's hometown.

Wu Haitao looked around and began to identify the direction.

He could see that this was an underdeveloped city, with old buildings, twisted streets, rusty street signs, and not many private cars on the road. It looked a little old, which was nothing like a big city like Pengcheng.

"Sister, please ask, is Xingfu Community going here?" There are many forks around and there are no clear signs. It is not friendly to Wu Haitao, who is a little blind, so he had to stop and ask people.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law was very enthusiastic and pointed out the detailed direction for him.

After a while, he arrived at an old-fashioned community.

This community has obviously been built for many years, with large creepers on the walls, and weeds growing in the gaps in the concrete floor.

After moving forward for a while, Wu Haitao stopped in front of a six-story residential building, hesitated for a while, and walked in.

Because it is old-fashioned, there is no elevator in the residential building. Wu Haitao came to the fourth floor along the somewhat damaged steps.

Building 22, 403, should be here!

I wanted to knock in front of the door but didn't dare to knock. After hesitating for a while, Wu Haitao gritted his teeth and knocked on the door a few times.

"Dong", "Dong", "Dong"

The waiting time is particularly long, particularly anxious and nervous.

"Here you come." A female voice sounded inside, and then the door was opened.

It was a middle-aged woman with a thin appearance, with a thick look on her face and a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you?"

"Hello Auntie, is this Zhang Haowen's house?" Wu Haitao tried every means to suppress the tension in his heart and said calmly: "I am his college classmate."

"Oh, oh, yes." The middle-aged woman opened the door and made way for the passage: "Please come in quickly, no... don't change your shoes."

Then, he excitedly said to the house: "Wenwen, some classmates are coming to see you!"

But there was no sound in the house.

A Wen's mother showed a hint of embarrassment on her face: "You should know that Wenwen has a bad temper now and doesn't like talking to people... I'll pour you a glass of water."

"No, no, aunt." Wu Haitao waved his hand quickly and asked, "Can I go and see him?"

"This..." Awen's mother hesitated for a while and said, "Okay."

The door opened and walked into the inner room. Wu Haitao once again met his only friend in four years in college.

Compared with his original appearance, Awen looked a lot thinner, with a sigh of wretched beard, and his whole body looked haggard, with a dazed expression and a numb look.

He was half lying on the bed, with several pillow cushions behind him, and a big butt TV in front of him, and a show was playing on the TV.

On the bedside table next to it are some cut fruits, peeled sugar, a kettle and a tea cup.

Wu Haitao's eyes quickly fell on Awen's arm.

Sure enough, as the rumored one, his hands were gone from below his wrist, with a bare front piece and some bandages wrapped around.

Seeing Wu Haitao appear, Awen showed a hint of surprise in his numb eyes. While unconsciously retracting his arm back into the quilt, he asked in a trembling voice: "Haitao, why are you here?"

After swallowing, Wu Haitao said, "I'll take a look at you. After all, I have my responsibility for the original matter. If I hadn't asked you to help me write a game guide, maybe things..."

"No...no...no." Awen shook his head, his voice with bitterness: "It's my bad life, I don't blame you, it's all my fault. I shouldn't be addicted to games, I shouldn't always go out to surf the Internet. It has nothing to do with you...it doesn't matter..."

At some point, Awen's mother retreated and left the room for the two of them.

Wu Haitao put down his travel bag on his back and sat down on a chair beside the bed. He looked at Awen with a sharp look and said seriously: "Awen, I want to help you..."

"No need!" Awen's rejection was very direct: "I don't need help! I'm an industrial injury! The factory paid a lot of money. When I get better, I have a free job. I have no difficulties and don't need help!"

"I didn't say I wanted to give you money!" Wu Haitao denied Awen's guess and asked back: "What I mean... do you know the Tianang company I work for?"

"I know, it's a game developed by our family, and the games we made are very fun." Awen's eyes were a little dim: "It's a pity... I won't be able to play it in the future."

"Our company has a new helmet..." Wu Haitao asked again: "Hongxing brand good dream helmet, have you heard of it?"

"Red Star Brand Good Dream Helmet?" A Wenyu was puzzled and thought about it for a while, then suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered it. I have watched its advertisements on TV. It seems to be a treatment for insomnia? Is this also the one produced by your company? Isn't your company a game developer? Why did you change careers?"

"No! No change in career!" Wu Haitao explained: "Our Red Star Brand Good Dream Helmet is not actually an auxiliary sleep device. Although it can make people fall asleep quickly, it is actually a virtual reality helmet!"

"Virtual reality helmet?" Awen said he didn't understand.

"It's the kind of helmet in online game novels that the protagonist can play virtual reality games with him!" Wu Haitao explained.

"How is this possible?" Awen didn't believe it: "With our current scientific and technological level, how can we make that kind of helmet? And you didn't say it in the advertisement, just said it was a helmet for treating insomnia."

"I don't know what the boss above thinks, but I have confirmed that this is indeed a virtual reality helmet!" Wu Haitao said, then opened his luggage bag and took out a silver-white helmet from it.

"That's it?" Awen expressed his confusion: "It doesn't look special."

"It does look nothing special." Wu Haitao introduced: "But just press the fingerprint switch twice to turn the five-pointed star into blue. After taking it to sleep, you will enter the virtual reality world!"

Although he still didn't believe it, Awen asked: "Then do you mean to give me a try?"

"No, no, no!" Wu Haitao said quickly: "The helmet is bound by himself, so I can only use it by myself. What I mean is, I will take you to your provincial capital to buy one for you!"

"I think there is no need for this, right?" Awen's eyes were bitter: "You said just now, using fingerprint switches, I'm like this..."

"No! It's necessary!" Wu Haitao said firmly: "There are many ways to unlock the helmet, not just fingerprints, but also voiceprint recognition versions, but this is not the point! The point is that after entering the virtual reality world, my myopia will be fine! I think it will definitely work for your arms!"

"Really...really?" Awen's voice trembled.

"It must be true!" Wu Haitao said: "Our boss is now holding an event with Pengcheng Disabled Persons Association, saying that he will donate hundreds of helmets! Since he dares to do this, the helmet will definitely work for you! At least in the virtual reality world, you will be restored to a normal person!"

The news was a little astonishing. Awen's lips were trembling, as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the door opened and a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman walked in.

The middle-aged man was tall and strong, wearing dark blue work clothes, with some greasy stains on it. His voice was rough and hoarse, but full of excitement: "What are you saying? Can our Wenwen really recover and become a normal person?"

"Really! I promise!" Wu Haitao's voice was decisive.
