"The sea is smiling, the tide is rolling across the Taiwan Strait..."
Everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Even though they are not drinking, the more than 100 people in the player's apartment seem to be drunk.
Everyone took off their shirts and formed several rows of human wolves with their shirts off. Some people beat time with bowls and chopsticks and sang "Swordsman" loudly. A few girls were also bold and unconstrained, stripping down to their suspenders.
, was catching a thin player pouring drinks. On the ground, the table was in a mess, with ten
A dining venue with several long tables occupies the property hall on the first floor, and the property manager is reduced to a waiter. The property manager looks at these dissolute players with a smile, and is indifferent to the cakes, bowls, chopsticks and damaged public items scattered everywhere.
Turning a blind eye, the fat face looks like a Maitreya Buddha.
The game video of the fourth test is being played on the TV, and no one is listening to what the guest above is talking about. Everyone is talking and arguing, laughing wildly, making fun of themselves and others.
.
"At that time, the distance between the mouthparts of the demonized giant mosquito and my eyebrows was only 0.01 centimeters. Within 0.01 seconds, I figured it out. This time, it's either you or me who will die. At that time, my brother roared, which scared the devil.
The giant mosquito hesitated for 0.01 seconds,
In this 0.01 second, buddy, I raised my stick and dropped it, -15, and dealt a critical hit damage. Before the other rookies could react, they heard a bang, and there was a big explosion on the spot.
The white ones, the green ones, the blue ones, the purple ones..."
"Stop it, stop it, it's getting more and more outrageous. It's green, it's blue, it's the giant demonized mosquito that explodes these high-end products?"
"You don't understand this. Probability, do you understand probability? Officials haven't said anything about what monsters can only explode. After all, it's a matter of probability. No matter how small the probability is, it's still a probability..."
"Okay, please stop bragging. I was there at the time, and this guy peed his pants on the spot. Fortunately, there was a buddy behind me who had a double-sensitivity product. He demonized the giant mosquito first and saved his life.
Otherwise, hum!"
"Another braggart was caught and he was forced to pay taxes. He was fined with alcohol, fined with alcohol!"
The so-called wine is a drink. Although there is no alcohol, you can't help but drink it with your belly open like this. Many people have vomited several times after drinking it, and they were even caught pouring it into their mouths.
You can also vomit after drinking this drink, which shows how excited these people are.
"Wow, I have good poems, but it's a pity that I don't have wine. What a pity!"
"Then drink some?"
"You can't drink. You have to queue up to get online after the meeting!"
"That's right, we can't delay the business."
Only Li Yan is a bit forced to smile. He is pretending to be something. His game experience is different from others. Others are sunny and lively, while he deals with skeletons, rotting corpses and ghosts. It is eerie and lonely.
unmanned.
Someone asked him about his experience in the game, and he hesitated to talk about it. He heard things that everyone knew, but he was confused. Fortunately, everyone was immersed in the excitement and longing after the first game.
He didn't pay much attention to his strange behavior.
The commotion continued until almost 12 o'clock.
As soon as 12 o'clock passes, it's a brand new day. The game time is refreshed, and everyone has to start queuing up nervously to get online. Among the more than 100 people, there are many unlucky ones who didn't get in line from the first round to the last round.
No one dares to be careless on this point.
At the end of the song, everyone met to help each other in the game and became brothers for life. They were shirtless and beat their chests loudly. When it was time to check out the hotel, Li Yan realized that this meal was made by AA, and this lobster
, he didn’t know how much abalone he had eaten and how much was wasted. When the figures were calculated and evenly distributed on everyone’s head, his eyelids jumped.
"Why, it's not convenient at hand!?"
The little fat man who brought him down for dinner was extremely grand. He swiped a large pen on the bill handed over by the hotel manager and paid for him, with numbers in the thousands as if sprinkled with water.
"Uh... there's no income in the game!"
"You haven't accepted any endorsements, advertising or other small contracts?"
"Endorsement advertising?"
"You, you... leave this matter to me. When will you be free tomorrow?"
"I...if I can get on the line..."
"Come on, I'll ask them to come in the morning. Let's meet them whenever you are free."
The next day, all four rounds of Li Yan's half-day tour in the morning were missed, and he was not scheduled to be online. He could only endure the anxiety and look for useful information and information on the Internet.
The official forum is unavailable, crashes frequently, and there are less and less useful messages. Instead, there are some niche ones, such as VX groups initiated by players, fan groups of short video cloud game anchors, etc. There is a lot of useful information.
Li Yan has joined several similar communication groups and has been diving to read the game information shared by others, but he still hasn't found anyone who has experienced a similar experience to his own.
This made him even more uneasy.
At this time, a phone call came in, saying that some winery was here to discuss business cooperation.
What experience does a student who has never graduated from high school have in this area?
The property company thoughtfully called a lawyer and met with the business representative of ‘Gu Cigong Wine’ in his apartment.
The other party provided two ways of cooperation. One is offline endorsement, which is to authorize Li Yan's image, videos, and pictures in the game to be used as one of the image brand promotion images for their promotion.
One is online endorsement, which requires Li Yan to follow the script provided by them in the game, say some lines, interact with other spokespersons, and then record the video.
Both methods are the simplest business cooperation. Although Li Yan is a player, he is not well-known online or offline. The offline endorsement fee is only 50,000 yuan a year, and the online endorsement fee is more expensive, not exceeding 100,000 yuan.
"There are more players now, but the price was not this before."
The lawyer hired by the real estate agent was very knowledgeable and said, "No problem, they are all standard contracts. I guess most players have one or two, so sign them!"
After signing the contract, after excluding attorney fees, I received 82,000 soft girl coins before tax. This was something that my parents couldn’t save even after a year of hard work. How could I get it so easily?
"Keep these documents away, and remember to declare your game income truthfully. There are rumors that the tax bureau is going to catch some bad examples recently, but don't get caught in the crossfire."
Before leaving, the lawyer saw that he was young and inexperienced, so he kindly reminded him not to evade taxes.
After sending the lawyer away, he remembered that his current game image could not be exposed, it was the first one in the world.
What can we do?
The contract is signed!
If other players know about it, they should not start a fight. What if Canaan Company is under pressure and says that its hidden race is just a BUG and needs to be fixed?
The 17-year-old boy fell into a huge entanglement, and the 'big money' he just received became extremely hot, and he was not as happy as before.
Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly remembered that there was still a task called 'Devil's Disguise' that I hadn't completed yet.
Not bad, not bad...
After completing this task, you will be able to obtain the second 'talent skill', and the problem will be solved.
Don't be so reckless next time.
Li Yan reminded himself that he waited until 12 o'clock at noon and had four byes in the morning. He was ranked very high in the queue and was very lucky to log in to the game.
"Xiao Ai, how many people are online at the peak?"
“Just exceeded 20,000 people”
It was not until this time that the crisis of 'full opening' was over, the power consumption curve of the system background began to slow down, and the profit began to transition in a better direction after repeated seesaws.
The server had just opened with 15,000 people, and within two days (Canaan) it had already crossed the threshold of 20,000 people. From this point of view, the construction of the fourth level of the magic network was successful, and no major problems occurred.
loopholes.
While Bei Gaoyang was proud of his design skills, he also checked the operation of various parts of the magic network.
"Most of the updated content hasn't been released yet, right?"
"No player has met the requirements yet."
Old players are still stuck in reaching level 20, and new players are still noisily adapting to the rhythm of the game. I'm afraid it will take a while before the changes in this test can be reflected in the updated content.
The most obvious ones are the equipment prop rating and player combat effectiveness rating systems. Since no level 21 players have appeared yet, the related functions are still in a sealed state and can only be activated after this condition is met.
When to open which functions and content is strictly calculated. Opening it too early will waste resources and cause system burden. This is not necessary.
On the other hand, the early activation of the mount and familiar system surprised him.
Bei Gaoyang was very hesitant about how this system would appear to players.
Of course there are mounts and pets in Canaan, but there are no mounts and pets in the game. How do you understand it? That is to say, these things are actually similar to the earth. Some people raise dogs and some cats, but no one has ever raised dogs to catch prey.
Cats are kept to catch mice for a living.
There are mount pets, but they are not that important, nor are they as convenient or as versatile as in the game.
Whether to push it out or not, after repeated consideration, Bei Gaoyang decided it was better to push it out.
First, it strengthens the attributes of Canaan as a game.
Bang, clank, summoned a powerful mount, clang, and put it into the system backpack. Who can say that this is a real other world?
Second, as the game map becomes larger and there are more players, relying on teleportation is like a country relying solely on air transportation. It is impossible and unrealistic.
In the next step, Bei Gaoyang will gradually increase the cost of transmission and will not provide large subsidies in this regard.
Then players can only rely on the four legs of their mounts to travel through the increasingly vast game map.
Compared with the cost of launching a mount system, the cost of teleportation is higher. The same is true for magic pets. It can enrich the functions and gameplay of the game and increase the player's combat effectiveness. If it can be achieved, why should we be stingy?
"It's still the surplus from the third test..." Xiao Ai explained.
He cares more about the system's surplus than Bei Gaoyang, and finds it hard to tolerate any waste of resources. He is still bitter about the "spending money" behavior in Chapters 1 and 2 of the expansion pack, and will pick out and stab a few people whenever he gets the chance.
sentence.
Bei Gaoyang smiled, ignored this, and continued to read the report.
Punk City also ran very smoothly, and many interesting little scenes occurred during the interaction between the system's natives and the players.
Most of them were things he hadn't thought of beforehand. Watching the players come up with their imaginations and try every possible means to find loopholes in the system and opportunities in the game. They even had a bloody encounter with the aborigines without any regrets. It was really
It's both a joke and a joke.
A nearly real game ecosystem is taking shape in Punk City, which is what he cares about the most.
When the operation stabilizes and the magic network reaches the theoretical perfect value, players with tourist status can log in.
When they appear, what kind of sparks will they create with the residents of Punk City?
Bei Gaoyang is really looking forward to it.
But he will not forget the purpose of doing so.
The nearly real game ecology is a means rather than an end. He, Xiao Ai and Magic Network have only one purpose, and that is the value of faith.
“How is the surplus of faith value?”
Because of the existence of Punk City, the faith value has also been continuously consumed. There is no way to create a non-existent city out of thin air and a large number of non-existent aboriginal people. Faith value is indispensable.
Phenomenons that cannot be explained by magic and problems that cannot be solved by magic theory are all solved by the value of faith.
This already has a bit of a "creation out of thin air" flavor. As we all know, in their respective fields, only the gods have similar power.
Faith is actually about "gathering the will of all living beings" to change reality and rules. Bei Gaoyang suspects that the Book of Canaan also has this flavor, pointing to the mysterious basic rules.
The magic network that can generate and utilize faith value cannot be characterized by a simple fourth magic level.
From now on, it is a veritable 'miracle creation', with a bit of an artifact flavor.
"433, about a profit of 2 points per minute"
"……not bad?"
Without a reference, Bei Gaoyang didn't know whether it was more or less, but the creation of Punk City out of thin air cost less than 300 faith points in total. The server had only been launched this time, and not only had the cost been recovered, but it had also started to make a profit.
“Not bad!”
Xiao Ai was afraid that he would go out again, so she deliberately spoke vaguely, and quickly threw out another piece of good news in an attempt to divert his attention.
"The soul power has just exceeded 1 million points."
"1 million!?"
Bei Gaoyang was indeed fooled, so he shifted his attention, mentally calculated how many times the 1 million soul power would be enough for him to cast a fourth-ring spell, and laughed with satisfaction.
"Now you remind me of the idiom 'the poor suddenly become rich'!"
"I just thought you were complimenting me, haha..."
It's not without reason that Bei Gaoyang is so happy.
One million soul power is a number that the Magic Network has never accumulated. The battle on the Alpha plane consumed less than half of this number in total. Moreover, the fourth level of the Magic Network has more reserved plug-ins and is more advanced.
, the spells that can be stored and cast are more powerful, and the fourth-level and fourth-level spells can be cast almost infinitely.
The fourth ring is already at the middle level. The fourth ring spell can hurt even the natural magic races such as high demons and giant dragons. Now even if a team of giant dragons come to attack his territory, he can also use the resource consumption to attack his territory.
These big lizards are exhausted.
As for the church.
No matter how many troops with low-end military force come, it will be in vain.
In other words, he is safe now and does not have to worry about a chosen one, a demigod or a four-winged angel suddenly breaking in that day and taking care of him.
Even if his identity is exposed and his current location is known to the Twilight Conference, he can still deal with it and even protect himself.
Being safe and worry-free means that the sword of Damos hanging above your head has a strong shield to resist it. How can you not be happy?
