"Haha! I got it! "
Bluestar, China, Imperial Capital's Second Ring Road. In an ordinary residential building.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy looked at the message on his phone excitedly.
The boy's name was Ji Dong. He was a high school graduate who had just finished his college entrance examination and was waiting to enter university. He was currently staying at home.
After his college entrance examination, he got into Imperial Capital University. As a reward, his father and mother gave him the most popular stealth cabin.
Now, he was addicted to virtual games and could not stop himself …
Hugging his smartphone, he was so happy that he rolled around on the bed.
The content of the message was very simple.
"Congratulations! You have been selected to be the third batch of closed beta players for 'Elven Nation'! The invitation code is: 130-114-504. "
The third batch of closed beta players for 'Elven Nation'!
He could not help but be surprised.
'Elven Nation' was a virtual online game that had suddenly become popular in the past few months. It had become a hot topic on China's internet.
This virtual MMORPG, which used a lot of advanced technology, had already left similar games in the dust with its unique accelerated thinking technology, its realistic game modeling and physics engine, its anthropomorphic NPC system, its insanely detailed settings and game details, and its high degree of freedom and participation. It had become a hot topic in the gaming world …
In the industry, some people even joked that this was a game that transmigrated to another world and was a plot by aliens.
Before the college entrance examination ended, Ji Dong had seen videos about this game on the bullet screen. He was very interested in 'Elven Nation'.
Unfortunately, when he signed up for the beta tester, he was preparing for the exam.
However, even if he had not prepared for the exam, it would have been difficult for him to become one of the first batch of closed beta players.
This was because this game was praised by many live streamers and professional players as a masterpiece in the industry. However, there were too few players for the closed beta.
For example, during the first closed beta, only three hundred players were recruited. However, there were nearly eight hundred thousand players who signed up!
It was truly one in a million. Those who were chosen were almost all European Emperors.
During the second closed beta, the number of players increased. A total of nine hundred people were recruited.
Ji Dong, who had just finished his college entrance examination, also signed up immediately.
However, the number of people who signed up for the second test was even more exaggerated. Although the number of people recruited increased to nine hundred, the number of people who signed up for the second test was three million!
In the end, the probability of being selected was even lower …
Naturally, Ji Dong wasn't chosen.
After a period of time, the officials finally announced the third closed beta test.
This time, "Elven Nation" directly released 9,000 slots!
This made many people very excited. These days, the first thing many netizens did when they woke up every morning was to refresh the official forum of "Elven Nation". It could be said that they had been waiting for the stars and the moon, and finally, the new closed beta test was about to begin!
Overjoyed, Ji Dong also chose to sign up again!
However, when he saw the words "You are the 14,346,755 player to sign up for Elven Nation, thank you for your participation", his heart sank …
There were more spots, but there were also more people signing up!
What the hell was 14 million people who signed up?!
Wasn't this too horrifying?
Although the invention of the stealth cabin and the advent of the virtual world had opened a new door in the gaming world, and the highest number of online players in the virtual world had broken the record of ten million a year ago …
However, a virtual reality game that had tens of millions of users in the Beta Testing phase … was unprecedented!
Moreover, when Ji Dong signed up, it wasn't even the last day of registration …
When the registration deadline arrived, the total number of people who signed up for the third beta test of "Elven Nation" had already exceeded twenty million!
It was said that there were even many foreign netizens among them …
After watching the game videos that Chinese netizens posted on the internet to show off, they specifically thought of ways to sign up in China.
Good games were popular everywhere.
Not to mention China, which was the first to develop the stealth cabin and enter the virtual world, the quality of the game videos of "Elven Nation" completely crushed the virtual reality online games overseas!
On the other hand, fantasy themes were more popular with foreign gamers. Naturally, they were highly curious and sought after …
There were even many foreign gaming gods who strongly requested for "Elven Nation" to open up an international beta test server.
Unfortunately, "Elven Nation", which had always been low-key, never responded to these requests.
In the end, the number of people who signed up for the third beta test of "Elven Nation" reached a shocking twenty-two million!
Although there were more chances in the third beta test compared to the second beta test, it was still terrifying!
Even if it wasn't one in ten thousand, it was one in a few thousand …
However, Ji Dong's luck had changed this time.
When he felt that there was no hope for him, he received a text message that he had been selected and became one of the nine thousand lucky people!
… …
July 25th, noon.
Ji Dong, who had already read all kinds of strategy guides on the official forum and had done her homework, finally welcomed the third closed beta test of Elven Nation while eagerly waiting!
He looked at the time and impatiently entered the game cabin, opening the already downloaded "Elven Nation".
"Activate ….. Elven Nation!"
[Ding — —]
[Game successfully connected … …]
[Discovered a new version, "Elven Nation" 1.3]
[Version updating … …]
[Ding, update successful]
[Update log v1: Optimize the game resurrection function. Cancel the "perfect resurrection count" and change it to a resurrection coin system. A perfect resurrection will consume resurrection coins. Resurrection coins can be exchanged at the contribution store. The higher the player's level, the more resurrection coins will be consumed for a perfect resurrection.]
[Update log v2: Optimize the exchange and Job Change system. Set the "World Tree" as the new exchange point. Players can directly pray to the World Tree in the City of Heaven's Chosen and enter the exchange store and Job Change interface. There is no need to enter the Nature Temple to find the goddess statue.]
[Update log v3: Optimize the red name punishment mechanism. The red name punishment is related to the player's level. The higher the level, the more serious the red name punishment.]
[Update log v4: Optimize the face pinching mechanism. When creating a character, the appearance of the character will be scored. The system's basic character score is 60 points. If the score is lower than 50 points, the character cannot be created.]
… …
Resurrection coin? Exchange system? Red name mechanism? Face pinching?
Ji Dong was a bit surprised.
Because he had done some homework, these things sounded familiar to him.
But because he was a newbie, he felt it was a bit unfamiliar … …
However, he didn't care too much.
With the melodious music, Ji Dong's eyes darkened and then lit up.
He felt his consciousness suddenly fade as the gravity changed and he arrived at the character creation interface.
"I'm in!"
Ji Dong's heart was filled with joy.
The only race that could be chosen in "Elven Nation" was the elves. However, the appearance could be set by oneself.
However, Ji Dong didn't understand why there was a score for the face pinching, and why the character creation was not allowed if the score was low … …
"Is it to prevent people from pinching too ugly a face? The officials are too obsessive, aren't they? It's okay if it's ugly, what's the big deal … … "
Ji Dong complained.
Of course, he would definitely pinch his own face properly.
After all, who wouldn't want a handsome character in a game? It was like raising a daughter or a son.
Except for some weird players.
After spending half an hour to pinch a handsome face that he was very satisfied with and was scored 65 points by the system, Ji Dong chose to confirm.
And his game nickname was — "Shape-Shifter Ji Gang"!
The screen darkened and Ji Dong officially entered the game!
His consciousness shook violently and an indescribable sense of weightlessness rushed into Ji Dong's heart. In his vision, the cutscene animation of Elven Nation began to play.
Ji Dong had seen this cutscene animation countless times on the bullet screen video network, so he subconsciously wanted to skip it.
But for some reason, he finally suppressed his impatient mood and decided to watch it again … …
Accompanied by familiar and pleasant music, a magnificent scene appeared in front of Ji Dong's eyes.
The towering World Tree, the beautiful Elven City, the glorious Silver Civilization, and … … the regrettable battle of the gods.
Ji Dong, who had seen this plot countless times, already knew it by heart.
However, Ji Dong noticed that this plot seemed to have been edited a lot compared to the one circulating on the Internet, and it was shorter.
"The cutscene animation has been cut?"
Ji Dong was curious.
However, just as the battle of the gods ended, the World Tree withered, and he thought the opening plot was about to end … …
The style of the entire cutscene animation suddenly changed!
The plot was not over.
The background music gradually became passionate and majestic, and the plot animation showed an unprecedented scene — —
The Saint's prayer, the towering World Tree shone brightly!
In an instant, 300 Chosen Ones descended!
They shuttled through the forest and battled with Magical Beasts. They explored the ruins and fought with the goblins. They defeated the incarnations of the gods and revived the Holy City, Fei Lengcui. Brick by brick, they built their own City of Heaven's Chosen!
Then … 900 Chosen Ones descended for the second time!
They defeated the Orc hunting team and rescued the returning Elves; they subdued the Black Dragon and fought with the Orcs …
The Elven Forest was recovered, the incarnation of the Goddess descended, the World Tree was revived, and all creatures worshipped …
The Chosen Ones' footsteps started to step out of the forest!
They explored Rivendell and subdued the Crypt Spider Queen …
They went deep into the Underworld and befriended the Dark Dwarves …
Looking at the wonderful scenes and scenes and listening to the stirring background music, Ji Dong was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
As a game fan who often watched "Elven Nation" videos, Ji Dong naturally knew that these scenes … these animations …
These were the game plots experienced by the first and second batch of beta testers!
The official "Elven Nation" actually turned the gamers' game scenes into the cutscene animation of the third beta tester!
Not only that, these edited scenes were not inconsistent with the earlier cutscene animation and were connected perfectly, as if it was really an epic legend!
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a fantasy movie written by the gamers and starring the gamers!
In an instant, Ji Dong felt a strong sense of epic and participation in the movie …
At the end of the scene, his vision suddenly turned dark.
A line of golden words appeared in front of his eyes:
"Chosen One, are you ready?"
At that moment, Ji Dong felt his blood boiling.
