"Haha! Sure enough, I have always been concerned about "World of Abyss" and taught myself various teachings. It is effective. My dears, I was selected!" As the quota for the closed beta of "World of Abyss" began to be distributed, each one was selected. Players with quotas started various shows.
Previously, there were only 3,000 places for the first batch of closed beta tests, and more than 1,000 of them were Star Cup players. Many of the rest were given to various anchors and affiliates by World Corporation, and there were really only a few who could be drawn.
But this time, the quota of 600,000 people has been increased by two hundred times, and the number of people participating in various shows has undoubtedly increased.
But soon everyone discovered that the 600,000 quota seemed to be a lot, and there were exam questions and tests to ensure that the selected players had a certain foundation in the game, but the competition was still unexpectedly fierce!
"What? Are there usually so many players paying attention? I also studied by myself for a while, why didn't I?"
"I made a special effort to study for it unexpectedly, but I didn't get it."
"No, many games have a monthly income of less than 600,000 yuan. Why are there so few places for 600,000 yuan in closed beta testing here?"
"Global robbery. Under the high welfare promotion of recruitment by major Internet companies, it is normal for more than one billion to be looted."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. In other words, it's more difficult than being the top grader in middle school."
"..." As the number of places became less and less, qualified beta players appeared one after another, and the battle to grab people became more and more intense.
The first is the 'Abyss Mineral Company' which has established a foothold in the abyss. As the founding trio, Okita, Qin Dashao, and Daboluo started multiple rounds of financing. And because Abyss World is a game developed entirely with unique technology, there is no need to use other Internet platforms, and there is no need to give too much. The face you have is to see how much money you spend and how much effort you put into it!
Penguin, Ahri, Kangaroo, Ferry, Weibo, all well-known domestic Internet companies, in addition to World Corporation, have invested in the Abyss Minerals Company.
Although the influx of investment led to the continuous dilution of equity, relying on the agreement framework signed at the beginning, the company was still firmly in the hands of the three founders.
And with this huge capital injection, we can be more relaxed when it comes to recruiting people. This is like a snowball. Originally, 'Abyss Mineral Company' had taken the lead, but now that it has absorbed the power of capital without making any mistakes, it will only snowball faster.
It is precisely because of this alliance between major domestic Internet companies that the 'Abyss Mineral Company' is currently considered the only force in the game.
In fact, I originally wanted to rope in the World Company. A global company that owns TT, with the help of this platform, its influence and financial resources are beyond words.
But "Abyss World" was also jointly developed by world companies. They were already the ones making the rules, so naturally they were too lazy to join in.
It’s not that World Corporation doesn’t care about money at all, but it’s easy to get blown away by investing in it as a producer, so there’s no need for it.
As each closed beta player was selected, World Corporation and Umbrella also released an update notice for the new version.
"The new internal beta version will add a new map, and at the same time make some adjustments based on the suggestions collected from players, optimize the water texture and tactile effects, optimize the weather effects, and develop taste experience effects to facilitate players to eat in the game ..." There are a lot of them, some are fictitious optimizations, and some are targeted 'patches' for the Sophie world.
This is followed by some background information on the new version.
"...Abyss Lord Enzuo and other nearby lords discovered that this area is anchored by a magical world. In order to explore more magical knowledge and magic resources, Enzuo came to the Abyss Magic Crystal and prepared to use it in the Hall of Valor. Help open the door to another world.
"In order to test the strength of the magical world, the heroic spirits in the Hall of Heroes will rely on their immortal bodies to become the advance team to enter the investigation. First, we must establish a station in the World of Warcraft that can accommodate the heroic spirits..." Then came the world of Sephie. In some of the model lake introductions, all countries stand side by side and two gods rule the world.
However, as the two gods disappeared from public view for longer and longer, new chaos and war began to break out in the originally peaceful countries.
The introduction to the world was completely added on by Wang Yi at the last moment. The big boss behind the scenes is working overtime to write articles, which is really inspiring.
Just write a rough description of Mohu. It’s just the background anyway. Wang Yi himself doesn’t know the more details. If I write too much, it would be embarrassing if some wrong information appears because this town is too remote.
"Abyss World" has started 24-hour downtime maintenance, and has a list of dozens of updates.
However, one thing to note is that in order to hide the identities of the Heroic Spirits in the early stage, you must spend money to "modify their appearance" when traveling to the magical world.
The modification fee is not expensive. If the basic standards are met, it only costs 100 credits. However, it will be very ugly. If you want it to be beautiful, you will have to spend more money.
It looks like an extra dLC pack for a free game, with new features having to be paid for. If it were a normal game, some people might scold you, but "Abyss World" rewards credits every day, so no one would say anything.
After all, this will make it more realistic and not blind the game!
"Did you see that when you go to Sephi Realm, the concentration of magic power is not as good as that of the Abyss, so after the station is established, a hunger level option will be added in the future. You need to eat."
"The player's taste system has also been added. Good guy, are you planning to sell delicious food in the game?"
"Didn't I say that we would establish a stronghold in the Warcraft Forest in the early stage? Where would delicious food be without seasonings?"
"Too……"
"But I won't starve to death anyway, my attributes will just be reduced, it doesn't matter."
"No, it turns out that NPCs will have more options for selling seasonings, as well as artificial food and compressed food. It means they are shipped from the earth."
"Hey guys, it's another place to recycle credits."
"Laughing, Umbrella even made this excuse just to remember the credits she gave out. It's better to transport more modern weapons than to transport seasonings. The magical world will be destroyed directly."
"The game should pay attention to the gradual progression..."
"..." The game is down for maintenance, and I can't watch the live broadcast. I can only watch some previous recordings and videos, and most of them hold together to discuss some changes after the game update.
It is truly unique that a game touches on such a hot topic and remains popular for a long time.
Although the previous Resident Evil, Abyss Invasion, Spaceship Launch and Zerg can still retain their popularity, they are just mixed in the game.
To put it bluntly, it’s useless for ordinary people to worry about bugs, and it’s useless for them to worry about this thing.
Moreover, external pressure will make many people want to enter the game and live in a dream. With the end of the maintenance period, most of the closed beta players who had received the helmets and the first batch of closed beta players also chose to enter the game immediately... Chapter 752: Abyss, Enzuo Ling.
During the 24 hours since the player disappeared, all the NPCs were in a state of panic. A large portal in the middle is located on Silver Square.
In addition, there are also two connected auxiliary portals in the other two gathering places that have been connected.
The 600,000 players are completely different from the previous 3,000. Putting them all in the initial territory would seem crowded, so they are spread equally among three different gathering places, which is equivalent to three small counties gathering players.
However, the resurrection points are still concentrated in the initial Silver Castle, so when players go offline, they have to carry a large number of new players' bodies to the other two gathering places to complete the split.
Although there are many slaves in the Jaya people, 24 hours to complete these transfers and some scene changes is still a bit tight.
Fortunately, with the help of magic, I barely met the requirements.
"Hurry up! Players will be online soon!"
"Functional NPCs all return to their workstations, hurry up."
"Have the construction materials not been processed yet?"
"Quick, throw it into the lava."
"Hurry up and drag these seasoning bags into the store."
"Start striking, strike!"
"Come on, come on, players are starting to come online, shut up."
"..." As the players started to come online, the initial NPC's irritability disappeared in the shortest possible time.
After training for so long before, their reactions are still quite good.
"Oh, it feels like the gathering place has expanded a bit."
"No, 600,000 players share the same screen, tsk tsk~ The server is awesome."
"Do you understand artificial intelligence? Do you understand supercomputing?"
"It seems to be scattered in three villages, but there are also 200,000 people in each village, which is more than the people in our town. Look, that is the portal. Go and find out quickly. I don't know if there are any prerequisite tasks."
"Where's the newbie? Why are you old guys here again?"
"Haha, you were able to react so quickly when you first went online?"
"Hey, I'll go back and take a photo of their funny looks to make it a black history..."
"..." The first ones to come out were naturally the veteran beta testers who were already quite familiar with the game. The new players selected this time are all cloud players who have had offline learning and already have an advanced understanding and knowledge of the game.
But when they went online, they were still filled with a sense of shock. Because of the addition of the taste system, the sense of smell is naturally also added.
Even with the shielding adjustment, the smell of sulfur in the air still shocked the newbies as soon as they came online.
"I originally thought that "Starry Sky World" was already the limit, and no matter how good it was, it wouldn't exceed it by too much. I didn't expect it to be a big mistake."
"I don't know what "Starry Sky World" is. Just say a few words. I'm afraid "Abyss World" will misunderstand you."
"This touch, this degree of simulation, I am so young!"
"This soil can be eaten! Bah, bah, it tastes bad." Mengxin crawled out of the grave one by one. At this time, many people were looking around.
Some people touched themselves all over, while others lay on the floor and smelled the fragrance of the soil. It's almost like a mental hospital scene.
Even players who have been screened and answered questions can be considered the elite among cloud players. But it still shows the characteristics of the player itself.
"How energetic are you all? Have any of you been selected into the mage class?"
"There are 600,000 people this time. There should be quite a few with mage talents."
"I'm just afraid that the threshold will be raised."
"Damn! It's 11 o'clock, I'm so angry."
"Don't look at it, most of them can't reach 12 o'clock, and it was because there were not enough people in the last period, so if you have fast 12 o'clock mental power, you can pay for it at your own expense. It's a big pineapple."
"I guess the normal level is 15 mental power or above. It seems that the birth room is different from ours..."
"It doesn't matter. I get dizzy when I look at mathematics."
"I just prefer the feeling of punching to the flesh..."
"..." Don't say the sarcastic words of ordinary players in the recovery room. This time, more than 400,000 of the 600,000 players entered the game for the first time!
There are more than a thousand players whose mental power has reached 15 points, and they all wake up in special rooms in the Silver Fortress.
Compared to the chaotic dancing of demons in ordinary rooms, the people who wake up here are relatively calm.
"The style is different."
"They should be special talents who can enter the magic class."
"Okay, okay, I was a little worried."
"It's not in vain that I have taught myself magic for so long."
"It's actually good to be interested in magic theory, but math and magic are a headache."
"..." Many players who woke up here immediately noticed the difference here and made judgments. Those who did not react immediately could also complete the determination after hearing the conversations of other players next to them.
Although innate mental strength does not necessarily mean high achievements, acquired learning is also very important.
But since they all came in after completing the questions, they must have studied the game seriously.
"Waiting for someone to pick you up?"
"According to the number of people, it should be quite a lot. I didn't know there were so many magic classes."
"It should be enough. Although the number of mages shown in the video is not large, it is still enough to divide them into classes with fifty people in each class."
"Oh? You are a teacher by profession, right?"
"Haha, class teacher." However, although most of the players selected for the first batch of closed beta tests are full of enthusiasm and love for the game, and more than two-thirds went online immediately, there are still some people who chose to complete the reality first Some matters in life... In the Magic City, in a high-end villa area with beautiful environment and neatly trimmed green belts, a 14 or 15-year-old boy who looked a little skinny was holding a golden retriever in the community. Walking around.
A security guard trotted behind, ready to dispose of the dog's excrement. However, this golden retriever was trained very well and didn't cause any trouble along the way.
Just when they arrived at the entrance of the underground parking lot, the golden retriever suddenly started to make a frightened sound of "woohoo~".
The boy who was holding him behind him, who looked a little malnourished and skinny, stepped forward and patted the dog's head, scratched its neck, and then walked around the entrance in another direction.
I glanced back at the entrance of the parking lot, and saw a translucent spirit body wandering there. Its empty eyes stared out in the shadows, which looked very penetrating.
He looks somewhat similar to the head of household here who suffered a heart attack in his car a few days ago. Chen Youyou continued walking while holding the dog, her expression seemed a little numb.
I have been seeing these things since I was a child, but my parents are both university professors and I have always thought that I have some kind of mental illness.
He even thought for a time that he was sick. However, I often find that the appearance of those spirits is similar to that of the deceased nearby. I have never even heard of their death, and I can only ask about the circumstances of their death later.
He was also sure that he was not sick... but his parents, as university professors, did not consider this situation at all and took him everywhere for treatment. He dropped out of school and stayed at home since middle school.
He was not sick at first, but he suffered from insomnia. Coupled with the influence of being able to see spirits, he had been malnourished since he was a child.
It was only after he settled down in health in recent years that his predicament was greatly alleviated and the dark circles under his eyes that had been hanging around were eliminated.
His parents were worried that he would be too lonely at home, so they took him to a pet store to pick out this golden retriever. He fell in love with this dog at first glance and hid in the corner while shivering at the spirit next to him, and he has kept it till now.
It can also sense those things... Chapter 753: The Price After running around and returning to his villa, Chen Youyou squatted down and scratched the golden retriever's neck.
"I'll go eat later. My game has arrived. I'll go in and have a look." This golden retriever was very smart. It hummed and humped its owner before trotting away with a basin in its mouth.
There is enough dog food in the automatic feeding machine. After entering the house, the robot took the initiative to take out the shoes, flashed the signal light and made a sound.
"Little Master, "Abyss World" has started testing. I have installed the helmet for you and put it on the bed. It is best to take Ankangding before entering the game."
"I understand, thank you." After returning to the room and taking Ankangding with water, Chen Youyou belatedly entered the game.
It was his first time to experience an immersive virtual game, which brought him a sense of surprise and considerable excitement.
But because of the adaptability brought by seeing ghosts since childhood, he recovered faster than others. Ah Piao has seen it all, and it doesn't seem like it's a big deal... Because the online process is much slower than other players, by the time Chen Youyou entered the game, there were not many people in the recovery room.
"There's another newcomer here. Just in time, let's go. We are all mage seedlings and can go to magic classes. If other attributes are not up to standard and still want to become mage, we can only learn by ourselves and follow the video..." A voice came from came from next to Chen Youyou, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Because of the ghost relationship and the fact that he has now dropped out of school, he has always had a bit of social fear. Now after hearing these slightly proud words, he just nodded silently.
"By the way, how much mental strength do you have? I'm seventeen, it's a pity, hey~" The guy who opened his mouth to gather the new players in the recovery room asked again, and at the same time said it without leaving any trace. own mental number.
Most of the people who can appear here have a mental threshold of 15 points, about 30% have 16 points, and less than 10% can have 17 initial mental points!
So if it looks 'unsatisfactory', it's most likely just a show off. 'How do you know that my spiritual power is seventeen points?
Chen You glanced at his own humorously. Mental strength, blackjack. Wouldn't it be better not to say it...
"By the way, we will all be classmates in the same period from now on. Can we all be friends? Maybe we can organize a wizards guild or something, and we can help each other and discuss things on weekdays. Discussions among ourselves are definitely better than those with Muggles. Efficient." The 17-point player who had gathered several people at the scene started to speak again.
"Let me introduce myself first. My ID is Fireball Master, the webmaster of the Magic Station of the Virtual Game Department of Kangaroo Company. Have you signed the agreement? If not, you can consider us Kangaroo. Our company's benefits are among the first-class in all recruitments. As long as you sign the contract, you will get a lot of subsidies..." Among the other three people present except the Fireball Master, one of them was obviously a little excited when he heard the benefits, but the other one except Chen Youyou used a He spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Kangaroo? What a fate. I was your full-time delivery boy before."
"Oh? That's really fate. As long as you join, you don't have to run takeout anymore. Moreover, the support and subsidies for mage embryos will be higher, and the income will be at least several times that of your takeout."
"I haven't run away since I broke my leg in a car accident while delivering food. You say it's the other driver's full responsibility, and the other driver's insurance will pay for it. But the driver who caused the accident only has compulsory traffic insurance, and he can't afford to pay for it because of his debt. I, All the money I’ve saved over the year has been put in. I don’t know what the insurance premiums you deducted every day were. You even deducted my meal damage and asked me to ask the insurance company to compensate for it, haha..." This former takeaway boy player He said it with a smile, which directly filled the Fireball Master with a sense of embarrassment.
When it comes to responsibility in this matter, the driver who caused the accident must be more responsible. According to regulations and liability, it is indeed the driver who caused the accident who compensated.
However, when the driver who caused the accident could not afford to pay compensation, the Kangaroo platform did not care at all and even deducted the damage to the meal. This made the delivery boy, as a full-time rider, pay insurance every day and even abide by the traffic rules. Naturally, my heart was filled with resentment.
No matter how he got into a car accident while delivering food to a kangaroo, the insurance he paid would not pay for it because he was not responsible?
Was it in vain? Is this inciting the younger brother to take the initiative to violate the rules? With this kind of resentment, it was natural for the younger brother to speak in a bad temper.
"Oh, by the way, my ID is Kangaroo's father. Please give me your advice in the future." As he spoke, he showed a very penetrating expression.
After saying that, he turned back to the player who was a little moved and Chen Youyou.
"You have also seen the virtues of kangaroos. In addition to what happened to me personally, when they started, they also subsidized various actions. After they were rolled out, they began to cancel the subsidies. Instead, there were various fines for merchants and takeaways. Brother, consumers eat three things, with a purely capitalist appearance. It is much smaller than the TT takeout pattern. Since the game can make me survive, I will not join them..." These words made Chen Youyou next to her expression a little. Weird, when he saw the friend request from 'Kangaroo's father', he felt a little excited and agreed.
"'Good and taciturn Youyuko'? Why is your ID so long?"
"Just call me Youyuko."
"Oh, then you can call me daddy." ...Sophie Realm, Darnic Town. It was obviously dawn, but the early morning sunlight could not penetrate the clouds, and it just felt like a dark sky.
It was still drizzling, and it never stopped. Wang Yi leaned against the window and looked at the dim street scene outside. At this time, there were already people coming out to make a living, wearing raincoats and starting today's work.
People don't have to eat because it rains, so people who need to run for three meals a day still need to continue their work.
Dongdong~ There was a knock on the door, it was the Catwoman waiter bringing breakfast.
"Hmm~, is it daylight yet~" A lazy voice with a hint of sticky sound came from the bedside. The exquisite figure covered by the blanket moved slowly, and when he stood up, the blanket slipped off, revealing an indescribable scene.
It was none other than Shalltear, the proprietress. Well, a few days have passed, and Wang Yi has become a little familiar with him in the town.
It seems normal for a bard who wanders around the world to be a little bit scumbag with a lot of knowledge and wealth. The boss lady is well-informed, which is also a sacrifice that must be made in order to have in-depth communication and know more about the world.
"Really, I didn't know how to go and get it myself. Don't you feel bad for being seen by others? Damn it." Shalltear yelled and tied a knot on her bulging chest with a blanket, revealing her smooth and clean face. With her rounded shoulders and collarbones, she slipped to the door on silent cat steps.
After opening the door, before Lu Lu could react, he stretched out his smooth forearms to carry the breakfast back, and then closed the door heavily.
Wang Yi, on the other hand, sat at the window and admired Shalltear's dexterous movements. As expected of Catwoman, her body is flexible. Although her little tiger teeth are a bit sharp, fortunately her skin is quite tough, and she has a unique flavor when grabbing her tail.
When Lu Lu at the door saw the closed door and the empty dinner plate, he couldn't help but froze, and then sniffed.
Why does it feel like the smell of the boss lady, but there is also a strange smell, it must be an illusion...————
