Volume 2 Amber Chapter 68 Internal Beta?!
" Internal test !?"
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 "Mysterious Age", it was already the public beta 1.0 version, so I don’t have much impression of the internal beta.
Now that I think about it, there was indeed a three-day internal test.
For players, the time flow rate between "reality" and "game" is inconsistent, reaching a ratio of 1:5. The official explanation is that it is to make full use of sleep time and extend human life in this unconventional way.
Three days of internal testing is equivalent to two weeks in this world.
Chen Lun found a chair and sat down, starting to think.
As he recalled, he remembered more and more things. There seemed to be tens of thousands of places for the internal test, and these places were extremely valuable, and even sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Because except for a very small number of places that are randomly selected from the public, most of the rest have already been selected by major guilds, high-level players and anchors.
Internal testing is a first-mover advantage, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the game world in advance and win at the starting line. As the world's first holographic online game at the time, "Mysterious Age" contained endless business opportunities and wealth, and major financial groups could not miss such an opportunity.
"Will the first batch of internal test players arrive tomorrow morning..."
Chen Lun pondered.
"But Amber City cannot be used as a 'novice village'. If I want to contact them, I need to travel a long distance... ...In this case, I don't have time to do so."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Lun gave up the idea of looking for them.
Tens of thousands of beta test players may seem like a lot, but they are distributed across the entire Sun Continent, like a drop of water falling into the sea, without splashing any waves.
Instead of going to great lengths to look for it in a remote town, it is better to just sit back and wait.
He planned to use the Iron Fist Gang's intelligence advantage in the outer city to place spies for him so that if they saw any suspected players, they could report to him in time.
…
Early the next morning.
Eight o'clock sharp.
Gem State Fossil City, Emerald Town.
Dozens of figures appeared out of thin air outside the fence of a farm in the suburbs.
"The game has begun?!"
"Have I entered the game world?"
"Zhao! Isn't this too damn realistic?!"
They were all wearing ordinary linen robes, dressed like lower-class civilians. Almost everyone had an expression of shock and curiosity on their faces, and several players even threw themselves on the ground to play with weeds and dirt.
"My goodness! Not only does soil smell like soil, grass smells like grass... How come this cow dung smells so authentic?! Ugh!"
A male player held a bunch of ingredients for Lao Ba's recipe in his hand, vomited a few times, but looked excited.
The players in the corner were a little calmer. Although they were also very curious about the new environment, they did not perform any shocking performance art.
A young man with the game ID "Polaris" stood quietly in place. He glanced at the descendant of Lao Ba and those players who were dancing with joy, then climbed over the fence and walked towards the farm.
"Hello, hello! Nice to meet you, my name is Su Keying!"
A female player who had dyed her long hair burgundy ran over and called out to him.
Polaris paused and glanced above her head.
"You use your real name for your game ID?"
"Ah...hahaha, yes, I struggled for a long time when I queued up for the game, but in the end I just used my own name."
Su Keying smiled.
Polaris turned around and continued walking inside, not intending to chat with this woman. But Su Keying followed him, acting like a familiar person.
"What can I do for 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 the first batch of beta testers after all, so we should 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 joined the Eighth Family and were vomiting on the spot. But they seemed to be enjoying it, and even jumped into the farm and rolled on the ground.
She chuckled and turned back.
"I think you're more reliable."
Su Keying patted her plain and continued:
"I'm a full-time anchor. I also run my own video channel. I like to record some game plot-oriented works...
I finally got a spot in the internal test this time, and I plan to release some materials first."
"That's great, I'll go watch your video then."
Polaris said lightly.
"Hey, let's cooperate... We can help each other if we encounter any troubles. I can give you my resources first, how about that?"
Su Keying said.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Polaris jumped from a haystack into the farm, followed closely by Su Keying.
“You bastard…”
She didn't give up and chased after him with gritted teeth .
After walking for a while, they saw a farmer wearing a straw hat working in the stable .
"Hello? How can I help you?"
Polaris walked over and asked tentatively.
The farmer turned around and looked at the two of them when he heard the voice, and his face was immediately startled.
How come two strangers suddenly broke into my farm? !
He was about to open his mouth to scold and question, but he was suddenly stunned, and then he showed a look of surprise. Pointing to the other two warehouses, he casually said:
"There are tools there. You can help me cut the grass in the field, collect and pack it... You can also feed the livestock and fetch some water."
The farmer pondered for a moment and patted his head.
"Yes, the roof of one of the rooms is broken, and it would be great if you could help me fix it.
Don't worry, I will reward you."
The next second, both Polaris and Su Keying received task reminders.
They looked at each other and accepted the task tacitly.
Polaris glanced at his panel, then tentatively used the "detection" function on the farmer.
Name: Tom
Race: Human (Eastern Continent)
Level: 4
Life: 50/50
Occupation: [Farmer LV4]
Attributes:--
Skills: Strength of a fork LVMAX,——
Power: 5
[Dangerous level: medium]
[Favorability: Cold]
[Evaluation: Even if you are a weakling, I can still stab you to death with a pitchfork! ]
Polaris didn't like to attack NPCs for no reason, so he planned to try to do the task first. Su Keying had the same plan as him, but she didn't follow Polaris to the warehouse to get the tools right away, but went over to chat with the farmer.
Perhaps it was because the character Su Keying created for herself was good-looking, and with the added bonus of her gender, the farmer's attitude towards her was obviously better than that of Polaris.
After talking for a while, Su Keying found that other players were slowly coming in.
She politely excused herself and left.
The players behind saw their actions and guessed that they could receive the task from the farmer, so they rushed over.
Su Keying went straight to the warehouse, and Polaris had already walked out carrying two sickles.
“Yes.”
Polaris handed over a handful, Su Keying took it and chuckled.
"Hehe, since you're so proactive, I'll tell you the information I just got..."
Polaris raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.
Su Keying lowered her voice and said mysteriously:
"As long as you earn enough 5 coppers for the ticket, you can enter Emerald Town.
There are definitely more opportunities there than in this wilderness. Also, I heard that the Red Apple Church in town is being rebuilt. Perhaps we can join them and maybe take the opportunity to gain extraordinary powers!"
