# Chapter 794: Forget It, Let's Just Buy It!

After watching this promotional video, everyone had the same feeling.

Awesome!

If this promotional video were posted online alone, everyone would probably think it was a concept video for some tech product, or a scene from some sci-fi movie.

So-called concept videos mean that this thing currently only exists as a concept, hasn't actually been made yet, and everything in the video has special effects added.

But since this video had already been posted on Lehui's official website, and the Matrix Glasses had officially gone on sale, that meant all the operations shown in the video could be replicated in reality!

Players didn't know whether the real Matrix Glasses could actually achieve the effects shown in the promotional video, or whether buying them would turn a "seller's showcase" into a "buyer's reality," but just the content promoted in this video was already incredibly tempting.

"Holy crap, this pair of glasses is loaded with a ton of black tech!"

"It can scan items within the player's field of view, accurately locate outlines, and identify item attributes?"

"It can select items based on where the player's gaze focuses and conduct in-depth analysis?"

"It can automatically take over all your smart devices, including smart TVs, robot vacuums, and presumably air conditioners, washing machines, and other home appliances?"

"It can identify the price tags of famous-brand clothes in shopping malls and even search for prices online?"

"This holographic projection navigation is so cool, it feels like something you'd only see in games before! Navigation info is displayed directly on the road surface through MR technology, no need to look at a mini-map!"

"This new MR game looks so fun! And it seems to be a Chinese-style game? They even specially developed a board game?"

"This thing can run the Thunder Game Platform!"

"Full mind control! No hand gestures or voice commands needed. Wow, it's incredibly cool. You'll never be mistaken for a crazy person by passersby again for randomly waving your hands or talking to yourself!"

"The battery life seems really long. This girl used it all day, just needed to charge it at night before sleeping."

"Feels a bit fake?"

"Upstairs, it's actually not fake at all. Our technology could already achieve most of these functions a long time ago. We just didn't have a micro-consciousness reading device, and no manufacturer had really tried to bundle all this black tech together."

This video basically introduced all the main functions of the Matrix Glasses and successfully ignited the players' enthusiasm. Next came some specific parameters.

The pricing was divided into three tiers: 2988 for the Youth Edition, 4988 for the Standard Edition, and 7988 for the High-End Edition.

The battery life for these three tiers was similar: 6 hours of continuous use with high-power-consumption programs, 12 hours of normal use, and 18 hours or more in low-power mode.

The main differences between the three tiers of Matrix Glasses were in configuration, including memory, processor, etc. The Youth Edition basically had most of the real-world service functions, but could only play simple MR games like chess/cards or Jump Jump. The Standard and High-End Editions offered users a smoother experience and would, in the future, support MR games with larger capacity, better special effects, and more complex gameplay.

Moreover, because the Standard and High-End Editions used better technology and materials, they would be more comfortable and lighter to wear than the Youth Edition. Wealthy players would undoubtedly snap up the High-End Edition without hesitation, since it had the strongest future expandability. It would be awkward if high-configuration MR games came out later and the Youth Edition couldn't run them.

Although the price wasn't exactly affordable for everyone, it was still reasonable enough. 2988 was just the price of a mid-range phone, but how could a phone be as cool as this?

The more players looked at the specific parameters, the more satisfied they felt. This was a truly conscientious smart glasses product. What were all those other smart glasses that came before? A bunch of rotten melons and cracked dates?

This Matrix Glasses had a clear positioning, complete craftsmanship, and most importantly, it was made by Chen Mo and Lehui, so the quality was relatively guaranteed. The promotional page also stated that these glasses would be the only smart glasses to carry the Thunder Game Platform, and in the future, a large number of designers would develop various specialized MR games and applications for them.

Just this one point alone was enough to make many people unable to refuse...

Many players immediately declared, "I'm buying the hell out of this!"

Then they looked at the page: Pre-order in progress...

The first batch of Matrix Glasses had 200,000 units in stock, first come, first served.

Everyone: "..."

Damn it, anything associated with Lehui inevitably involves hunger marketing. Zhou Jiangping, you bastard!

But honestly, you couldn't put all the blame on Zhou Jiangping. After all, these glasses had just been developed, and mass production takes time. Having 200,000 units in the first batch was already quite risky. This wasn't like a phone; it was a completely new smart device. Who knew if consumers would buy it?

Other smart glasses didn't even have this much stock, but players hadn't felt a shortage. It was mainly because the Matrix Glasses' quality was clearly a tier above other products, which gave players this feeling of supply not meeting demand.

Forget it, let's just buy it!

Within just three days, the number of pre-orders for the first batch of Matrix Glasses had reached 200,000. In Chen Mo's view, this pace was actually a bit slow. But after all, this was just a pre-sale. These players had never even used similar smart devices before, yet they bought based solely on Chen Mo and Lehui's reputation. That was quite touching.

But buying didn't mean immediate delivery. It was estimated that this batch of glasses would be shipped nationwide within a week. In other words, by the time players got their hands on them, it would basically be during the Spring Festival.

...

The Matrix Glasses sparked a pre-order frenzy, leaving many people bewildered.

"You tech geeks, when you saw other glasses before, you said you wanted to wait and observe. But as soon as Lehui's smart glasses came out, you bought them without a second thought?! Are you Lehui shills or what?"

"Lehui cult! They just opened pre-orders and you're already this frantic? There are plenty of products from big hardware manufacturers that haven't come out yet!"

There were quite a few people waiting to see a joke. Many had a certain resistance to this first generation of smart devices. After all, technology is constantly being updated and iterated, and the first batch of products would definitely have plenty of room for optimization. But those who bought said, "Buy early, enjoy early. Besides, these are Chen Mo's signature glasses. If you can't trust Lehui, at least trust Chen Mo!"

Regardless, the vast majority of people were very much looking forward to the Matrix Glasses. This should be the most reliable among the whole pile of wearable smart devices that had come out so far.

However, whether this thing was actually good or not would only be known after getting it and doing an unboxing review.
