Chapter 68 Internal beta? !
"Internal beta!?"
Chen Lun was shocked.
He suddenly realized that he had missed this information.
Because in my previous life, when I first came into contact with "The Age of Secrets", it was already in the public beta version 1.0, so I had no impression of the private beta.
Now that I think about it, there was indeed a three-day closed beta.
For players, the time flow rate between "reality" and "game" is inconsistent, reaching a ratio of 1:5. The official explanation is to make full use of sleep time and extend human life in such a new way.
Three days of internal testing, converted to time in this world, is equivalent to two weeks.
Chen Lun found a chair and sat down, and began to meditate.
As he recalled, he remembered more and more things. There seemed to be tens of thousands of places for internal testing at the beginning. These places were extremely valuable and even fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Because except for a very small number of places, which are randomly selected from the public, most of the rest have been reserved by major guilds, high-level players and anchors.
Internal testing is an advantage. You can familiarize yourself with the game world in advance and win at the starting line. As the world's first holographic online game at the time, "The Age of Secrets" contained endless business opportunities and wealth, and it was impossible for major financial groups to let go of such an opportunity.
"Will the first batch of closed beta players arrive tomorrow morning..."
Chen Lun pondered.
"But Amber City cannot be used as a 'novice village'. If you want to contact them, you need to travel a long distance... In this way, my time does not allow it."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lun gave up the idea of looking for them.
Tens of thousands of internal beta players may seem like a lot, but they are spread across the entire Sun Continent, like a drop of water falling into the sea, unable to make any waves.
Instead of going to a remote town to find it, it's better to just wait and see.
He plans to use the Iron Fist Gang's intelligence advantage in the outer city to place an informant for him. If he sees the existence of a suspected player, he can report it to him in time.
……
Early the next morning.
Eight o'clock sharp.
Gem State Fossil City, Emerald Town.
Outside the fence of a farm in the countryside, dozens of figures appeared out of thin air.
"The game has started?!"
"Have I entered the game world?"
"Zhuo! Isn't this too realistic?!"
They all wore ordinary linen robes and looked like lower-class civilians. Almost everyone had shock and curiosity on their faces, and a few players even threw themselves on the ground and played with weeds and dirt.
"Good guy! Not only does the soil smell like soil, but grass also smells like grass... How come this cow dung still tastes so authentic?! Ugh!"
A male player held a ball of Laoba recipe ingredients in his hand and vomited a few mouthfuls, but his face showed excitement.
Several players in the corner were slightly calmer. Although they were also very curious about the new environment, they did not perform any shocking performance art.
A young man with the "Polaris" game ID stood quietly. He glanced at the descendants of Laoba and the dancing players, then climbed over the fence and walked towards the farm.
"Hello, hello! Let me meet you, my name is Su Keying!"
A female player with her long hair dyed burgundy ran over and shouted to him.
Polaris stopped and looked up at the top of her head.
"Do you use your real name for your game ID?"
"Ah...haha, yes, I struggled with it for a long time when I queued up for the game, and finally decided to use my own name."
Su Keying smiled.
Polaris turned around and continued walking inside, not intending to chat with this woman. But Su Keying followed her, looking familiar.
"What's the matter with you?"
Polaris glanced at her.
Su Keying curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him.
"Can you please stop being so cold... We are also the first batch of closed beta players, so we can help each other."
"Then why don't you go find those people?"
Polaris pointed behind him without looking back.
Su Keying looked back and saw that several guys had already joined the Laoba family and were vomiting on the spot. But they seemed to enjoy it, even jumping into the farm and rolling around in the fields.
She chuckled and turned back.
"I think you are more reliable."
Su Keying patted her own plain and continued:
"I am a full-time anchor, and I also run my own video channel. I like to record some game plot-oriented works...
This time I finally got a spot for the closed beta, and I plan to make a preliminary release of materials. ”
"That's good. I will watch your video then."
Polaris said calmly.
"Hey, let's cooperate... If we encounter any trouble, we can help each other. I can give you my resources first, how about that?"
Su Keying said.
"Let's talk about it then."
Polaris jumped from a haystack into the farm, followed closely by Su Keying.
"You guy..."
She refused to give up and chased after him with gritted teeth.
The two walked for a while and saw a farmer wearing a straw hat working in a stable.
"Hello? How can I help you?"
Polaris walked over and asked tentatively.
When the farmer heard the sound, he turned his head and looked at the two of them, his expression suddenly startled.
Why did two strangers suddenly break into his farm? !
He was about to scold and question him, but he was suddenly startled and immediately showed a look of astonishment. Pointing to the other two warehouses, he said casually:
"There are tools there. You can help me cut the grass in the field, collect it and pack it... You can also feed the livestock and get some water."
The farmer pondered for a moment and patted his head.
"Yes, the roof of one room is also broken. It would be better if you could help me patch it up.
Don't worry, I will reward you. ”
The next second, both Polar Star and Su Keying received task prompts.
They looked at each other and accepted the task tacitly.
Polaris glanced at his own panel, and then tentatively released the "exploration" function towards the farmer.
Name: Tom
Race: Human (Eastern Continent)
Level: 4
Life: 50/50
Occupation: [Farmer LV4]
Properties:——
Skills: Strive for LVMAX,——
Combat strength: 5
【Danger: Moderate】
[Favorability: Cold]
[Evaluation: Even if you fight against the fifth scum, I can stab you to death with a pitchfork! 】
Polaris didn't like to attack NPCs for no reason, so he planned to try doing tasks first. Su Keying had the same plan as him, but she didn't immediately follow Beixing to the warehouse to get tools. Instead, she went over to talk to the farmer.
Perhaps the character Su Keying created for herself was good-looking, and with the blessing of gender, the farmer's attitude towards her was obviously better than that of Polaris.
After chatting for a while, Su Keying discovered that other players had slowly followed in.
She politely excused herself and left.
The players behind saw their actions and guessed that they could receive a task from the farmer, so they rushed over in a swarm.
Su Keying went straight to the warehouse, where Polar Star had already walked out carrying two sickles.
"Here."
Polar Star handed over a handful, and Su Keying took it and chuckled.
"Hey, since you are so proactive, I will tell you the information I just found out..."
Polaris raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.
Su Keying lowered her volume and said mysteriously:
“As long as you earn enough ticket money of 5 copper coins, you can enter Emerald Town.
There are definitely more opportunities there than here in the wilderness. Moreover, I heard that the Red Apple Church in the town is being rebuilt. Maybe we can join them and maybe we can take the opportunity to gain extraordinary power! ” Thank you to the beautiful lady - book friend 20220207121341940 for the 500-point reward!
Thank you ()
