Chapter 744: 600,000 Internal Beta Test Quotas
In the president's office of New World Company, Li Qing swung his robotic arm, exercising the muscles in the area associated with the robotic arm while constantly performing some deformations with the robotic arm.
The robotic arm equipped with a hydraulic impact system looks much more sturdy than the traditional robotic arm, and there is a bulge at the back that serves as a force unloading area.
While practicing shirtless in the office, he also kept his breathing in line with the Knight's Breathing Method.
Although his exercise movements were slow, he was already sweating profusely, and oil was sliding down his granite-like muscles.
"Huh~, ah shit~ It's been a really eventful time recently, with the biochemical crisis, the Abyss invasion, and now even the Zerg are coming. When can we live a peaceful life?"
After finishing the set of movements, Li Qing started wiping with a towel while complaining.
Jin Junliang, who is now in charge of the secular industries of New World Company, sighed as he sat behind his desk.
“This is not something we can consider…”
Now, South Korea, like Japan, has fully surrendered to Umbrella and has driven away its garrison.
Instead, Umbrella has a drone security team responsible for maintaining law and order, as well as a trauma team for first aid.
For the people of South Korea, they have always lived under the rule of chaebols, so there is nothing strange about it now.
Moreover, he was almost strangled to death before, but now he has a bone to chew on, which means he is alive.
Jin Junliang, who is also somewhat idealistic, also finds that what he can achieve now is already the limit.
At least Umbrella is much better than Daewoo. The profits are obviously squeezing you, but they will leave you a break. Everything is clearly priced out, and the salary and income you deserve will not be reduced by a penny.
At least for the lower class, life has gotten better.
Although this also affected Jin Junliang's income and interests, he didn't care much about these. He thought that this company was something he had picked up, and he was already very satisfied with it.
"But Umbrella is the same. They actually let Xiao Ri manage us. It would be good to build a new company here."
After wiping the sweat off his face, Li Qing started to complain again.
Umbrella took over Neon and South Korea. In addition to the early arrangements for the security drone team and the trauma team, various important areas were connected to Umbrella's artificial intelligence assistance.
Afterwards, all the factories and production lines were reorganized and incorporated into the Arasaka Group for easier management.
Although the South Korea branch is still mainly staffed by South Korea's own people, it is subject to the supervision of Umbrella's artificial intelligence.
But after all, the nominal parent company is still Japan's Arasaka Group, which makes Li Qing curse all the time.
"It's just a group with a Neon-like name. In essence, it's a branch of Umbrella Corporation, isn't it?"
Jin Junliang didn't care about this. Neon itself was a dog tied by Umbrella. Umbrella owned 70% of the shares of this company!
The remaining 30% was given to Japan and South Korea to give them some hope.
The people who are mainly responsible and responsible for execution are all native people from Japan and South Korea. Umbrella only placed them in a few key positions and artificial intelligence internal links.
But with the power of Umbrella's artificial intelligence, combined with their people in several key positions, it is enough to firmly grasp the general direction and key points of the Arasaka Group.
Other trivial chores and daily management are handled diligently by people from Japan and South Korea .
"After all, we work for Umbrella. In fact, life is better now than before."
"Well, you are right."
After wiping the sweat off his face, Li Qing drank some sports drink to replenish his electrolytes.
Then he said to Jin Junliang with a smile
"Look, I found a new trick."
As he finished speaking, he raised his mechanical arm, and with a thought, the arm immediately began to transform itself, splitting into several small arms, which held towels and began to automatically wipe his entire body.
"From now on, I can take a shower with one hand."
This silly look made Jin Junliang roll his eyes, and then he thought of something and said
"You've been practicing the Knight Breathing Technique for a while, right? How's it going? Have you read Umbrella's last notice? If you don't practice well, you might develop a chronic disease. You're really reckless..."
Unlike others, although Li Qing did not apply for a place in the closed beta test, after discovering that meditation was useful, he began to teach himself the knight's breathing method and began to stick to it.
In reality, apart from the people from Umbrella, he should be the one who has practiced the Knight Breathing Technique for the longest time.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. In fact, I have always followed the teaching standards. I used to be very hungry after training, but I didn't choose to go on a diet. I supplemented a lot of high-protein food. Although there are some discrepancies with the nutrition table provided by Umbrella, it is not a big difference. Now I have adjusted it back."
Li Qing smiled proudly, and then performed some powerful moves with the robotic arm.
Then he put away his joking expression and said with a little seriousness:
"But this breathing method is really useful. I thought it was just an illusion for the first half of the month, but recently I haven't even taken Ankangding, and my sleep quality is also great. I feel like my whole body has been trained from the inside out. I feel like this thing can even train my internal organs..."
As he spoke, he grabbed an apple on Jin Junliang's desk with his intact arm .
Then his arm muscles bulged, and with a whoosh, a perfect apple was crushed by him.
"After sticking to it for a month, I saw this kind of effect. I was scared just by looking at it."
This made Jin Junliang's pupils shrink slightly. Li Qing was good at fighting and had a good physical foundation, but he was still far from being able to crush an apple with bare hands.
One month is like this?
"Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Umbrella instructors are so powerful."
"Well, they must have practiced this, and even all of Umbrella's operatives should have practiced it. It's just that they also have corresponding biological enhancement technology. Maybe they have the same physique as the players in the game, or even better."
Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"I'll find a chance and go to Penglai to see the world."
Just as they were chatting here, the phone in Jin Junliang's office suddenly rang.
As the president, he would not have bothered him rashly if the internal call was not for something he needed to decide. Li Qing immediately shut up and watched Jin Junliang pick up the phone.
"Hey~, are the internal beta test quotas ready to be opened? Okay, I understand. Organize all employees of the company to participate. Those who can grab a place in the internal beta test will have their salary doubled! Training will also be increased. People who practice the Knight Breathing Method will have to keep up with the nutrition. The company will reimburse..."
After Jin Junliang received the call, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he issued corresponding instructions.
After he finished speaking, he looked up and said to Li Qing with a smile:
"Very good. The closed beta test of Abyss World is finally open. There are 600,000 spots available worldwide this time. Some of them will be allocated by Umbrella based on specific circumstances, and the other half will be selected by lottery based on answering questions."
Li Qing had guessed most of what Jin Junliang said on the phone before, and now he laughed after knowing that there were 600,000 places.
"There are 600,000 places, so I should have a chance. The last time, 3,000 places were really hard to get."
"Don't worry, the company will get you a spot in the internal beta test. After all, we are now working for Umbrella Corporation, so we can get a spot in the internal beta test. You are very active, so you will have to lead the team when the time comes."
Jin Junliang smiled and opened a back door for his good brother.
"Of course that's no problem. I've been practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique for so long, and now it's time for me to show off my skills!"
Although South Korea managed to survive by catching the bone thrown by Umbrella, some of its factories were replaced by Umbrella, and almost the entire country was packaged under the Arasaka Group.
However, Umbrella will certainly not be a good guy and help resolve various potential internal crises and conflicts, so South Korea still has a lot of internal problems.
However, in this case, representatives of the South Korean chaebols in the Umbrella era, such as Kim Jun-ryong, also found the virtual world of "Abyss World" as a new strategic channel.
Put the excess funds and resources into it, seize opportunities and trends, and avoid loss.
Jin Junliang had already established the "Game Development Department" in New World Company, which was specifically aimed at the "Abyss World", a virtual world known as the second world!
It’s just that I didn’t get many closed beta test players before, but now that the internal beta test has started, I can grab some!
After all, the company has trained various talents, and even has magicians. He believes that he can make a career out of it...
…
"Six hundred thousand internal beta test spots for Abyss World will be released soon, and a new version and exploration map will be updated at the same time..."
The new announcement jointly issued by World Corporation and Umbrella Corporation immediately caused an uproar, and a large number of cloud players cheered.
Six hundred thousand internal beta test spots seems like a lot!
Many companies and groups like New World Corporation that have specifically shifted their focus are also gearing up for the move.
A large number of recruitment notices were sent out before the places were released.
Well-known domestic and foreign companies, including Moshu, Motech, SX Company, Penguin, Ali, and Kangaroo, have all started recruiting announcements, and the various welfare benefits are really dazzling.
It can be said that as long as you are selected for the internal test, you don’t have to start earning credit points on a daily basis. If you are willing to go to these companies, you can get a basic salary directly.
But even so, there are still many people on the Internet who say they have no interest.
"I went there to play games, but I don't want to work in the game."
"That's right. Just playing around in the game, completing daily tasks and selling things is enough to make a living. I don't want to work for others in the game..."
When basic living is guaranteed and spiritual life begins to be fulfilled, individuals will undoubtedly have more room for choice.
Just like the choice between working 996 and earning a million yuan a year and doing nothing and earning 100,000 yuan a year, many people would still choose the latter...
