Chapter 953 Public Beta Test Incident
"The global simultaneous public beta of "Abyss World" will be launched at 19:00 UT0. Due to the large number of people online at the same time, the server may be stuck and queues are expected. New players who log in to the game are requested to leave the birth point as soon as possible after entering the game..."
"Added the Abyss map 'Succubus Territory', the Sefi Realm maps 'Calais Federation' and 'Ister Plains', optimized some light textures, enhanced some clarity and visual effects, optimized some bugs that may cause freezing, and optimized the forum UI..."
With the official announcement of the public beta of "Abyss World", it has also aroused a lot of expectations among players.
The map update for the Calais Federation was revealed long in advance.
In fact, considering the current Enzo Territory map which is as big as Australia, it is no problem to cram 100 million players in it.
It can even be said that the land is vast and the population is sparse!
So in the eyes of normal players, perhaps the only new map that will appear in the public beta is the Calais Federation.
But I didn’t expect that in addition to Calais, a new abyss map ‘Succubus Territory’ and the entire East Plains were also opened!
This immediately sparked a heated discussion.
"I've already arrived in the Principality of Nott, preparing to head to the Calais Federation as soon as possible after the new map is released, but you told me that the 'Succubus Territory' has been opened? Are you asking me to go back to my death?!"
"Wake up, the announcement later stated that only female players are eligible to choose the 'Succubus Territory', which is the place of birth."
"But you can get there through the teleportation array!"
"Haha, didn't you see the fee for using the teleportation array?"
"A bunch of LSPs, they don't know how to ask the anchor to help with the live broadcast, they are really stupid."
"I'm in the capital of Kedun, so I can go to the Kingdom of Idai to see the effects of our previous Treaty of Idai."
"Let's go together!"
"The Great Power is actually me!"
“…”
It was in this atmosphere that the newly laid out 100 million helmets were sold out!
Even though the 100 million helmets were released in batches over several time periods, there were still a large number of players waiting there, all relying on hand speed.
In fact, hunger sales are no secret, and many electronic products like to adopt this method.
This was even the case for many car models in the past, and price increases were commonplace.
But it is impossible for those hungry salesmen to produce too many products. They just use the scarcity of the products to highlight their quality.
However, now 100 million helmets are released in one go, and each batch is sold out in seconds!
This is not just hunger marketing, they are really working at full capacity, the goods are really in high demand and their production capacity is limited!
However, this somewhat unbelievable thing seems to be natural when applied to Umbrella's products!
Almost every product sold by Umbrella can achieve this effect. Even some cutting-edge technologies that are not directly aimed at consumers are also in great demand.
Therefore, for some people who are serious about the game, they will almost put down everything they are doing to grab a spot!
Work?
If I got the spot, I would definitely resign on the spot!
I can support myself by playing games on a daily basis, and I can easily sign cooperation agreements with some big companies. Why do I have to go to work?
Most jobs are about to be replaced by robots!
During the time that "Abyss World" was running, changes in reality have never stopped.
Whether it is the busy Nantianmen or the subsequent Tianting, or the silver asteroid that is in transit.
The earth's industrial capacity is moving forward at full speed.
Robots making robots can improve production efficiency in an incomprehensible way.
Nowadays, you can often see vending robots and garbage cleaning robots on the streets.
We can often see household robots being used to buy groceries, take the bus, and ride the subway.
If those players who are obsessed with the game and spend all their time in "Abyss World" except for three meals a day suddenly come out, they will probably feel a sense of time and space confusion.
Because of this, more and more people are able to spend time on games...
No matter how popular "Abyss World" was in the past, there were only 600,000 participants. It was more like a group of celebrities and internet celebrities providing entertainment materials and videos for everyone to watch.
Most people still act as cloud players through live broadcasts and short videos.
However, this time, the increase of 100 million places has led to a significant increase in the number of players.
A classmate, a colleague at the company, a neighbor in the community.
This makes people realize that the game that was originally very popular on the Internet seems to have come to our side.
Suddenly someone I know started playing...
…
"Haha, I got a gaming helmet, but it's too expensive. Fortunately, I can pay in installments, and then I can earn it back in the game while I sleep. The public beta will be launched tonight. Oh, I still have to work after work. My life is so hard~"
Gangzi sat at his workstation and said with a Versailles expression on his face.
They run a travel agency, and with the current wave of robots and AI, their travel agency business has become even more booming.
Because more and more people have free time, and they can get money from other channels of Umbrella.
"Wow, I heard that there are 30 credit points guaranteed every day, that's really good. Oh, suddenly I feel like I'm old and can't keep up with the times."
A middle-aged man's face was filled with envy when he heard this.
"Brother Gangzi is really awesome. You have to take me with you when I get the helmet."
A girl with freckles all over said enviously.
Only Bai Bing at the workstation said something out of the blue.
"I remember that you used to hate Umbrella, thinking that they had tarnished the beacon of civilization in your mind."
In the past, Gangzi was a typical boaster. Not only did he boast that the moon was rounder, but he also constantly belittled the country and was full of hostility towards Umbrella.
It’s just obvious that as Umbrella reached the top and became indispensable to every aspect of his life, his personal will was of little use.
Now that it was brought up by Bai Bing, Gangzi looked embarrassed.
"Isn't this someone who was deceived by Da Piaoliang before? It was all because of that group of hateful agents. My cousin was deceived by them two years ago. He was washing dishes and smoked. He was overstrained and had a lumbar disc herniation. He went to the emergency room and talked for 15 minutes and was touched. He spent more than 5,000 US dollars without any treatment. It was simply robbery."
Gangzi did not hesitate to smash the white moonlight in his heart on the ground and stomped on it hard.
"Two years ago? Wow, that's a long time ago."
Bai Bing had never heard Gangzi talk about this before, but after hearing it now, she couldn't help but smack her lips in amazement.
This is really unlucky. It was just like this when he joined the Bald in 1948...
"Yes, I have to thank Umbrella. My original plan was to make enough money here and then find an opportunity to join my cousin."
Gangzi patted his chest in fear at this time.
Fortunately, Umbrella defeated Da Piaoliang in time, allowing himself to "wake up", otherwise all his savings would have to be spent, and he would have to go to labor reform at his own expense.
In fact, he was ready to start selling off his property and then take out small loans. He would borrow all he could and then get a few million more with his savings and the sold properties, hoping to become a rich man.
If Umbrella was slower for a few days, I would have suffered a lot. I would not have been able to get the money I borrowed back, and it would have been almost impossible for me to recover. Now, when I compare myself with my cousin, it seems that my life is pretty good now.
He then quickly changed the subject and said
"This game will be popular among the public sooner or later. It's like gaining one-third of your life. I'll go in and explore the way first, and then I'll help you guys level up."
Gangzi said with great responsibility.
When Bai Bing heard this, he laughed.
"Actually, I got a spot in the internal test."
Bai Bing's words made Gangzi stunned.
"No way? The internal test only has 600,000 points, and there's also an exam. I tried it, and I couldn't pass it at all!"
After saying this, Gangzi said with a strange look on his face
"I remember you didn't like games?"
When "Abyss World" was in closed beta, Gangzi actually paid attention to it and even praised it a lot in the office at that time, but he was just doing it for fun and did not study it in depth. As a result, he was not selected for the internal beta test.
I remember that Bai Bing was not interested in this game at that time. She was always holding her Umbrella skin care products and fighting for robots and so on.
"I don't like games, but Umbrella's products can make money, so I will definitely try my best to learn more about them."
Bai Bing rolled her eyes. From the previous blood-drawing quota to the robot quota, which new product of Umbrella could not provide a stable income without doing anything?
She's not interested in games, but she's interested in money!
"Huh? You can get by with this mentality?"
"Maybe I have talent. My initial mental strength is 18 points. Actually, I just do my daily work and go to class every day. I have never left the territory."
Bai Bing said with an indifferent expression.
She is a true Buddhist player. Apart from taking magic classes and meditating to relax, she spends the rest of her time reading novels and some game gossip on the forum.
As a law student, she seldom does any experiments. She meditates because it is comfortable and can make her mental state better.
However, with her excellent talent of 18 points of mental power, she has also worked her way up to the level of a high-level apprentice, and has mastered several spells that she can outline out of thin air.
If you look at it alone, it's the speed of a T2 player. If you take into account the bonus of being a magic player, it's definitely a T1 elite player...
