In an old and dilapidated building, the thirty-seven-year-old Zhuo Qiang, with a stubbly face and a decadent look, threw away a cigarette butt in his hand and looked at various information on the Internet.
I was looking at a game that has caused a lot of commotion on the Internet recently, "Ghost of the Underworld".
[Twelve major international chaebols join forces to create the second human world across the ages!]
[Well-known international entrepreneurs claim: This is the Yuanverse, a purely online virtual interactive space. Real estate, currency, and property will all be linked to reality... Is it a cutting-edge method for the new generation of speculating on virtual currencies, or is it high-tech? 】
[Breaking through the 26% realism of traditional VR games to 80% realism, and the time flow rate is different, is it true or false? 】
[According to gossip, this game has been secretly building momentum a few months ago. According to the detailed content of the first epic world view expansion pack "Cultivating Immortality to Cultivation, the Ruins of the Great Leiyin Temple", it is suspected to be similar to the previously popular White Feather Chicken text time travel game.

...
Zhuo Qiang lit another cigarette and clicked on one of the most popular posts.
"Holy shit! The world view of this game is too exquisite. It turns out that the previous word game: broilers on the farm on the earth, claiming to post, entering the world of Kyushu... and then we gave them choices along the way, Jingzhou martial arts, all for this game
Is the content there being operated in advance to build momentum?”
"Indeed, there is even a sense of epic participation! Our previous words can change the historical trend of this game for more than ten years before the public beta!"
"Don't tell me, according to the rumors, after entering the closed beta, we will enter the most mysterious sect in Kyushu - Huangquan Sect, and there will probably be White Feather Chicken as our force!"
"Oh my god! Was this the benefit before the server was launched? If we had tried harder to help White Feather Chicken and the martial arts competition had developed better, wouldn't our benefits have been better before the server was launched?"
"Miscalculation! It turned out to be a welfare easter egg for the launch of the server! Give us a chance to change the birth environment!"
"To be honest, I am a network operator. Now that I see this wave of text building momentum to drive players' sense of interaction, and then public beta testing of the game, I think it is amazing! Is this a genius idea run by some international big shot? It must be uploaded
Into the operational history.”
...
However, during the closed beta test of the game "Ghosts" starting from the breeding farm, after getting a strong sense of immersion, the floors gradually became crooked.
"I read the background history of the game. The emperor of Jingzhou opened a fairy gate for mortals. Jingzhou performed martial arts and killed twenty-one emperors. He guarded the country alone. It was so exciting!"
"The Emperor of Jingzhou, the person I love, has paved the way for freedom and enabled mortals to strengthen themselves. How can there be such a kind and majestic living saint in this world?"
"I entered the game and wanted to find the other party for an autograph! It is said that the degree of freedom is completely free! I wonder if I can marry an NPC? If so, I have plenty of money to pay! Find a group of people and help me find a way to get close to him and get him!
"
A group of people started pretending to be the chickens from before and talking dirty words.
"No mole, I am also a chicken tyrant! The coordinate is at the breeding farm in Yunhai City, everyone, come quickly, the offline chicken sword agu!"
"Stupid human being, how did we do in Jingzhou's martial arts performance before?"
"Help, Gu Gu Gu! I will serve this to the table soon! Gu! This chicken is a Nascent Soul monk from Kyushu, located at Daming Mountain XXX.XXX. Who will save this chicken? After entering the game, this chicken dominates
Give him the secret knowledge of Yuanying passed down from inside, and accept him as a closed disciple!"
"My chicken bank account number is xxx...., a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, a chicken farm in trouble, only 30 yuan, please come and pay me to redeem yourself, I will give you a great opportunity after you are rescued!"
"You guys are a bunch of humans and machines!"
...
At this time, no one could tell whether the person sitting opposite the computer was a real chicken or a fake chicken.
And this white-feathered chicken pretending to be a farm seems to have become a trend on the Internet recently, and everyone is very excited.
Zhuo Qiang looked at the time next to him.
11:52
There is still some time before I can log in.
He never expected that he would log onto the official website, pass some inexplicable tests, and become the first test player.
You know, one quota has been sold for more than 4 million. It can only be said that those local tycoons are really rich. But just think about it, there are so many internationally renowned companies and their golden brands are very scary.
If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be resold, Zhuo Qiang would have wanted to sell it directly so that he would have no worries about food and clothing.
call!
He took a deep breath, gulped nervously, and actually finished another cigarette in just over thirty seconds.
As a senior bricklayer, the fate of my whole family has been changed by myself this time. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous. There are only 100 places for the opportunity, and tens of millions of people participate in the closed beta test at the same time. This is already the same as winning the lottery.
about there.
"Zhuo Qiang, you have to work hard!" He rubbed his temples, put on the exquisite and mysterious helmet, and slowly lay on the bed, only to see the depth in front of him.
Boom!
A wonderful and vast magnificent scene, the opening CG of the game appears in front of you.
"It's the opening animation."
Zhuo Qiang relaxed his mind and began to appreciate it slightly. At first glance, it felt very epic: "It is indeed well done, but I hope you don't use your heart to make CG and use your feet to make games."
Where did this opening animation come from?
Entering Kyushu, you have to pass through the transfer station, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fragments on this side of the earth. He set up a projection spell here and collected the white-feathered chickens' war correspondent photography to use as the entrance CG.
It can be said that it is to pretend to be a game, and as the only operator, it lures these players to come to Huangquan Sect to serve and work. It is well-intentioned and exhausts countless brain cells.
after all...
It's not easy to be a gangster and pretend to be cool.
Only he himself knows how poor he is now and how destitute he is.
Wow!
The scroll keeps moving forward.
It's a bird's-eye view, cruising across the land.
The people of the city were fleeing during the disaster.
Ruined dead cities scattered across the black land.
Below the Buddhist temple is a mountain of corpses strewn with bones.
A monk flying and fighting above the mountains and forests.
A compassionate Buddhist monk shed tears.
...
"It's so beautiful, so magnificent. Is this really a game? Is it true that it took tens of thousands of years of history to demonstrate using a super quantum computer?"
The entire endless land has fallen into disaster, as if it is telling the mythical era of the destruction of Buddhism.
The perfect switching and rotation of perspectives, the picture can be called a large-scale production, and every frame is a cost. If it is really as advertised and this exquisite CG is a real-machine demonstration, it will be really incredible.
And next.
The shots from high places, as if from the perspective of a drone, continued to penetrate deeper into the enemy camp, showing everyone the largest central battlefield where war broke out in Kyushu - the Buddhist Ruin restricted area.
And the perspectives eventually changed, and they landed on a young man under a tree in the forest.
The young monk looked delicate and gentle, but gave people a timid and timid temperament. He looked at the sky, stretched out his palm and said: "Can you give this to the Emperor of Jingzhou? This is the hope of the entire Leiyin Temple!"
Click!
The picture scroll turned completely dark.
A row of text appeared:
[The puppet Buddha of Daleiyin Temple will march westward to the border to seek help from the emperor. He will seriously affect the war situation of Daleiyin Temple. Where will it go in the future? 】
Click!
The lens was instantly wiped out.
He pondered. "Is that so? That young man is the protagonist of this closed beta expansion pack? Our main mission may be to escort him to find the Emperor of Jingzhou?"
After all, anyone who has played the game knows the main storyline, which mostly assists a certain heroic protagonist to change the times.
This information is quite useful to him.
When he opened his eyes again, Zhuo Qiang found himself on the Huangquan Road.
The whole road is winding with no end in sight.
There are a hundred players scattered around the queue.
There are more white-feathered chickens as far as the eye can see, cooing and squawking, but occasionally you can see some terrifying behemoths that are several stories high, lining up along the long queue.
Is that a giant squid?
Zhuo Qiang blinked and started communicating with everyone.
I don’t dare to talk about actual information. I mostly talk about my guesses and experiences.
Most of the people present are avid game fans. Even if they are not game fans, they will be shocked by this kind of traveling through a "different world". They will instantly become curious and ignite their interest in exploring the new vast world.
Soon, they came to the Three Life Stone and began to roll their birth talents with Po Meng.
There were ten players who seemed to be related households. Each of them had 5,000 contribution points. They rolled the dice five times.
But Zhuo Qiang was very poor, so he just did it all at once. He didn't really care about the two fates of one doctor and one person alone.
It's a closed beta test.
What's more important is to provide all kinds of information, move bricks, and position yourself very clearly. Provide materials and various cultivation resources for the big guys, and then exchange them for RMB.
After skipping talent selection, walking through the Huangquan Road and entering the sect, and becoming a registered disciple, they saw a beautiful girl looking at them with a smile.
"Read this manual." Xing Hanhan smiled and left.
She squatted cautiously in the dark, with bright eyes, as if she was seeing a group of leeks, observing them secretly.
Junior brother, did you really lie to me? Will they really work for their sect every month, and then be willing to pay money for their sect every month, just to stay in the sect and work?
They work for us and they pay us back?
"There can't be such a person. Isn't it my junior brother who is making fun of me?" Xing Hanhan secretly hesitated. Even though he was a master at cutting waists and loved to exploit and squeeze, he still didn't believe that humans in other worlds were so weird.
But when he saw those more than a hundred players, looking at the [Sect Rules] on the spot, with such a harsh treaty on the surface, they actually smiled.
"I'll go! Isn't this too conscientious?"
"It's true! It's so conscientious and careless! It beats all the games on the market! Can they get their money back??"
Xing Hanhan was at a loss.
Doesn’t this mean you can’t get your money back?
We earn with our blood.
"Yes, this sect's daily tasks are so conscientious that they don't care at all! It's not compulsory to complete, but completed by choice. If you don't complete it, nothing will happen. What kind of game operation policy is this from the ancient times?"
Which of the games on the market doesn’t have boring daily tasks, and there are more than a dozen daily tasks that need to be logged in every day to complete them. Those operations are just to increase the players’ online indicators, and are all kinds of crazy?
And what about here?
It is not compulsory to complete it at all, you can even choose to complete it, and you can complete it according to your own preferences... And here it is also hinted to you that it is more cost-effective to do not do the daily tasks of the sect, and it is more cost-effective to explore outside.
“It’s so conscientious.”
They shouted.
Xing Hanhan blinked, with knots in his heart, and secretly thought: Do they, creatures from another world, live such a miserable life? With such boring and heavy daily tasks, they get very few contribution points, and they are all reduced by their junior disciples to only ten points for ordinary disciples.
Even though one of them has made a contribution, do they still feel conscience? Are they excited and eager to try?
What happened to their world?
Is it a very cruel one?
Xing Hanhan secretly thought in his heart, but they feel relaxed about the daily tasks of working for the sect, and their conscience is just that. When they see the next sect rule, they will definitely be furious, right?
Disciples have to do daily work tasks, but at the end of the month they are not paid the sect’s basic welfare salary, or are they paid the sect’s basic welfare?
You are working part-time, and you are also paying your boss a salary every month. No one can bear it, right?
Xing Hanhan watched their reactions silently.
"It's really shameless!"
"Forget about being conscientious about Daily Liver's game missions, how about your contribution points?"
"According to the increasing level of cultivation, the higher the level, the more we pay each month. Now in the Qi refining period, we only need to pay 100 contribution points every month! It doesn't cost any money at all!"
"Great! This game is obviously a [time-based charging system], and I am very conscientious. I still charge 100 points per month!"
“And we can also use the ‘monthly point card’ in the game without having to pay at all, okay?”
A player next to him took a look and quickly calculated the contribution points for the above tasks, "Every month, even if we only do the basic tasks for the sect, we only need to move bricks for about 20 days to contribute to every task submitted by the sect.
Monthly contribution points! If you go out and fight monsters to make money, it should be faster!"
"It's not just that! When we earn contribution points, we can not only pay for the game's time points, but we can also trade the excess contribution points to the big guys!"
"Don't be anxious, everyone. The internal beta is more conscientious. Maybe in the future, the monthly contribution points will be doubled."
"I also feel that it is too conscientious. It is normal to double the number of credit cards every month. That is already very conscientious."
...
Xing Hanhan looked in the dark and was confused. They actually disliked the fact that he paid less every month!
What happened to the people in their world?
Can they still get better?
What kind of miserable life did they live before!!?
Moreover, according to their words, they seem to have done a lot of similar things. Are other sects more vicious than our No. 1 Demon Sect of the Huangquan Sect? We charge by the hour and by the month as a matter of conscience, and others pay it to us.
How many times, and even sometimes, do some people lose their fortune?
"Their world feels a bit unknown and terrifying." Xing Hanhan murmured in the dark, simply not daring to imagine what the human beings in this world have experienced.
