I took a piece of the same metal Rood had used from the pile and placed it in the hot furnace. Waiting until the metal heated up to yellow, even orange, I took it out and began to hammer it into the shape of a sword, repeating after Rood. This is very difficult, with my 3 points of power.

During this process, I realized that I was talking to an NPC (Non-Player Character) the whole time. It's amazing! His behavior is not different from a real person! I didn't dive deeply into the technical information of the VR capsule and the game itself, but as far as I know, there is an artificial intelligence working on one "mind" of the NPC, in which several multidirectional neural networks are connected, and every second this artificial intelligence learns to imitate the behavior of people. Although, of course, artificial intelligence does not have real emotions - it is just a simulation.

The company developing WoUC is Star Games Future. The only game they have developed is WoUC. It is a subsidiary of the creators of the VR capsule - "Neural technologies of future", the richest company in the world. Their abbreviations are "SGF" and "NTF". These are both Ukrainian companies.

Therefore, only WoUC can be played in this VR capsule. The world of this game was generated by artificial intelligence, so even the developers do not know its secrets. Before the launch of public servers, the WoUC universe lived its life, of almost 7 billion years in accelerated mode, in real-time it was about 2 years.

In this game, you can become anyone, from a warrior to an emperor. Of course, becoming a king or emperor is very difficult. For 7 years, only 2 players were able to become king. These are the 2nd and 7th places in the top players.

The developers do not reveal all the features of the game and VR capsule to the public. Some people say that this is alien technology that is hundreds or thousands of years ahead of Earth technology. Of course, no one listens to such people. But the strangest thing is that when they just started selling VR capsules, they began to disassemble them. But they failed because, under the beautiful carbon shell, there were only places for batteries and hard material that cannot be pierced. A few months later, NTF agreed with the authorities of the countries where VR capsules are available that a fine is imposed for deliberate disassembly, and for the second time, the person is blacklisted. If a person from the blacklist somehow manages to get a VR capsule, then that person goes to jail for 5 years.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Of course, the popularity of WoUC also partly depends on the currency of this game. More precisely, the fact that buying 1 gold coin = $37.14, and selling - $37.05.

Many brands and companies have created or transferred their brands to WoUC.

If people want to exchange unstable currency, they exchange for WoUC gold coins. Many people play this game only to earn money, for some WoUC is a life or just entertainment in their free time.

During the process, I plunged into my thoughts and did not notice how I finished banging the hammer.

After forging the sword, I immersed it in water and repeated after the blacksmith - I sharpened, polished, and lubricated it with a substance similar to grease.

[...]

I don't know how much time had passed since the beginning, but I was very tired and could barely stand up. And I didn't notice a new message from the system.

- I'm done.

- Finally! You spent almost 5 hours on a simple sword. Even beginners who are just starting, cope with this task in 3 hours! Well, what can I expect from such a weakling, show me?

Staggering, I approached Rood and handed him the sword. He took it in his hands and bugged his eyes out!

- Wow!

I was confused why he didn't say anything else, so I couldn't resist asking.

- What's so bad?

My question snapped Red out of his prostration.

- Huh. Are you so tired you don't even notice what you did?

After those words, he handed me the sword. I said an appraisal in my mind.

- Wow! Does that mean you're going to teach me?

- Well, it turns out that I will.

- Yay!!!

- But first, give the sword a name, it will become stronger.

I was very tired, but I tried to think of a cool name.

- From now on, your name will be...
