The public was in an uproar over Blacklight Biotechnology's actions while the continents of the Earth Federation were dumbfounded.
This was because they knew about the existence of the Consciousness Stealer. Although they did not know what happened back then, they were a little confused by Blacklight Biotechnology's actions.
Why did they include the Consciousness Stealer in the game? What was Blacklight Biotechnology's purpose?
Did they run out of ideas? Of all the game themes, why did they have to use this thing?
This game was 18 +, right? The promotional video looked a little too bloody. If they wanted to get the game version number, they would probably have to edit it...
These were the thoughts of the officials of various countries.
The next day, under the watchful eyes of the public, Blacklight Biotechnology finally opened the game's closed beta registration entrance. Hundreds of millions of people poured in to sign up at once, almost causing the website's server to crash.
The content to be filled in was very simple, mainly personal information and contact information. However, what was strange was that in addition to asking about the average daily login time of the player, the resume also asked whether the applicant had military experience, whether they had practiced mixed martial arts, received military training, and so on.
Soon, in just three days, Blacklight Biotechnology officially announced the list of 100,000 closed beta testers. The only thing that was surprising was that the number of well-known professional gamers accounted for not many of these 100,000 slots. After all, during the closed beta of a game, the quota was usually given to the world-famous professional gamers because these players were the mainstay of the game during the closed beta.
The quota issued by Blacklight Biotechnology was more to some veterans with military experience or retired instructors of the special forces. On the contrary, there were not many spots for professional gamers.
In addition, Blacklight Biotechnology also asked these people to take DNA samples, so these closed beta testers on the list would send their DNA samples to the local Blacklight Biotechnology branch. To the public, it was announced that DNA would be used to bind the identity of the player.
Although the need for DNA sampling caused a small number of people to be dissatisfied, most people did not have any objections. Under the envious and jealous gazes of many people, the DNA samples were shipped out after they were obtained. With Blacklight Biotechnology informing the world, the clearance rate was extremely high. In less than seven days, all the game chambers had been sent to the hands of the closed beta testers around the world.
Moreover, Blacklight Biotechnology had long thought of the problem of scalping. When determining the number of closed beta testers, it had been indicated that the game chamber had a special DNA authentication system that only allowed the closed beta players to use. Even if it was resold or sold in other ways, others could not use it.
This allowed the game chamber to be accurately distributed to the hands of each designated target without being resold or used for other purposes.

Shi Yangyu was a young man in his fifties.
Well, in terms of physical fitness, he was indeed still considered a young man.
Born in 1994, he served the country as a volunteer soldier in Mainland China. After being discharged from the army, he settled down in his hometown and became an armed police instructor with a monthly salary of five thousand.
However, when he was young, with the rising housing prices and the frequent occurrence of strange incidents in the capital and entertainment circles, things like "daily salary of 2.04 million", "selling OEM liquor for a living"... The general consciousness of netizens began to awaken, understanding that they were just a pile of leeks waiting to be butchered. Therefore, gradually, the idea of unmarriage and sterility began to become popular in the Mainland.
Shi Yangyu was one of the people who pursued this principle, so although he was now fifty years old, he was still single and enjoyed it.
In recent years, with the strong rise of Blacklight Biotechnology, technology to extend life and delay aging continued to be innovated and reduced in price. Today, except for the citizens of some remote and poor countries who still could not afford these costs, the entire Earth Federation was basically popularized with Blacklight Biotechnology technology. There were no longer any real elderly people in the world. At the very least, they were middle-aged people in their fifties.
Shi Yangyu had undergone an age-reversal treatment five years ago, so although he was now 50 years old, his appearance and physical functions were still that of a 30-year-old, and this state could be maintained for about 15 years. In other words, when he was 65 years old, he could continue to undergo this treatment and continue to prolong his life.
Therefore, he was still working at the Armed Police Detachment. Although he did not have a wife or children, he enjoyed it. Because in the 2D world, he also had a lot of wives.
Shi Yangyu's usual hobbies were reading comics, watching TV dramas, and occasionally watching a few adult novels. At the same time, he was also a noble standalone game player. He had played GTA 8, Girl Scrolls 8, Wild 4, and Cyberpunk 2099.
Although he was not a professional gamer, his skills were not inferior to those of other professions. This was because he was proficient in combat and firearms, and in today's mainstream games that relied on brainwave manipulation, his profession gave him a great advantage.
Therefore, when he learned that Blacklight Biotechnology's new closed beta game, Ancient Civilization, a week ago, he signed up for the closed beta online with the idea that he would give it a try without getting pregnant.
What he did not expect was that he actually won the bid!
When he learned of this news, he was overjoyed. Every day, he counted with his fingers to estimate the date of the arrival of the game chamber. Today, when he was at work, he finally received a call from the courier.
He asked his android to receive the express delivery, then simply asked his leader for half a day off and returned home excitedly.
By the time he got home, the delivery man, who was also a part-time installer, had already installed the gaming chamber in his bedroom. It was a streamlined gaming chamber that looked like a carrot. The head was round, and the tail was a little pointed. The upper half was covered with a black, translucent plexiglass cover that faintly revealed the interior.
Beside the gaming cabin, it was a lot more exaggerated. There was an item that was as tall as a person and looked like a mainframe chassis. Moreover, the chassis was completely sealed, and there were small words on it that indicated various things to take note of.
"Master."
A charming android with big breasts and a perky butt came over. She smiled and said, "Just now, the courier said that whether it's the game chamber or the supporting mainframe, it's not allowed to be disassembled. Once it's disassembled, it'll immediately become invalid. Blacklight Biotechnology won't repair it and will cut off the right to log in to the game."
"Oh."
Shi Yangyu just kept observing the game chamber in front of him and just nodded absent-mindedly at the android's words. He circled the game chamber several times, then seemed to think of something and quickly ordered, "Quick, Tsunade, go down and feed me. I'll enter the game when I'm full!"
"Yes, Master."
The android bowed slightly, turned, and walked out of the room.
Shi Yangyu could not help rubbing his hands excitedly. He walked to the cover of the game chamber and pressed a red button on it. Suddenly, the cover opened directly to both sides, revealing the black mattress made of waterproof material inside the game chamber.
"It's not bad inside. It looks quite luxurious."
Shi Yangyu nodded in satisfaction. He simply took off his slippers, lay down directly, and then pressed the close button inside. Suddenly, the cover of the game chamber closed again, locking him inside.
"Beep..."
"User entry detected, beginning identity detection..."
"Identity confirmed, the user's brain waves match..."
"High temperature detected, do you want to turn on the thermostat?"
A pleasant female voice slowly rang out from the game chamber.
"Not for the time being."
Shi Yangyu did not enter the game immediately because he was still waiting to eat his fill first and then take a break so that he could enter the game in a complete state. After all, he had waited for so many days, so a little longer would not make a difference.
Thinking of this, he asked again, "Game chamber, what's your name? Besides being able to enter the game Ancient Civilization, what other functions do you have? "
"Mr. User, I'm a smart game chamber X1118 produced by Blacklight Biotechnology. My property number is xxxxx. I don't have a name at the moment, you can name me.
"At the same time, my function is limited to entering the game Ancient Civilization. Apart from this function, I have no other functions for the time being."
The voice said immediately.
"What?"
Shi Yangyu was a little taken aback. "You mean you're an exclusive game console? That's too extravagant. Don't you even have the function to play other games? "
"I'm sorry, yes."
The voice continued to explain, "The reason for this is that Blacklight Biotechnology has adopted the most advanced consciousness immersion technology at present, abandoning the traditional VR technology of retinal imaging. Instead, it directly transmits vision, hearing, smell, touch, and so on into the player's brain. Except for Ancient Civilization, other games don't support this technology."
"So that's how it is..."
Shi Yangyu was a little disappointed. He had wanted to use this game chamber to shop in GTA 8 in a high-heeled shoe store...
"In that case, I'll call you... Lili from now on."
"Yes, Lili greets Master..."
As Shi Yangyu communicated with the intelligence of the game chamber, he gradually learned more about the characteristics of the game. In particular, this game chamber could actually allow people to feel not only their vision and hearing, but also their sense of touch and smell, which made him feel even more shocked.
After all, for so many years, the so-called game sense of touch was just a gimmick. Most game companies used "tactile suit", an electrode technology, to wrap the whole body and use electricity to stimulate people's nerves to produce corresponding feelings. In fact, this feeling was too repetitive and could not be compared with the original feeling of humans.
And now, this technology could finally be realized through brainwaves...
Blacklight Biotechnology was really holding back for a big move...
Shi Yangyu could not help sighing.
Soon, the android Tsunade made a bowl of egg noodles. Shi Yangyu quickly left the game chamber and finished the noodles in one gulp. He then went to the bathroom to wash up before returning to the game chamber again and lying comfortably inside.
"Lili, start the game. My sword has long been hungry and thirsty!"
"Understood, starting to enter the game — loading... Starting consciousness link... Three, two, one!"
"Whoosh!"
Following Lili's words, Shi Yangyu only felt his vision suddenly go black. His consciousness seemed to pass through a narrow and dark tunnel. When he regained consciousness again, he found himself standing in an illusory space surrounded by white light.
"Huh? What's going on? "
Shi Yangyu said, but then he found that he could not feel his own body. It was as if he had become a ghost and could only drift in an empty world.
"Master, don't worry, you're now in the game entry interface."
To his relief, Lili's voice came at the same time and then an illusory figure appeared in front of him. It was the appearance of a person without facial features.
"This is?"
"This is the character you created. Now it's the character creation segment. After entering the game, you'll move in this image in the game."
Lili reminded. Following Lili's words, Shi Yangyu only saw a character creation panel appear out of thin air in front of him. On it were options such as facial features, figure, hairstyle, skin color, and so on.
Seeing this familiar segment, Shi Yangyu's originally flustered mood because he could not feel his body completely relaxed. He grinned and a bold idea gradually emerged in his mind...
Three hours later...
A beautiful blonde girl with silky soft hair and a high nose appeared in front of Shi Yangyu. This girl was about 1.7 meters tall and looked like a Persian cat. Although her face was expressionless, her whole person exuded an amazing charm, especially her eyes, which were even more seductive.
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! My King is so beautiful! "
Shi Yangyu exclaimed in admiration. He looked at the naked blonde girl in front of him with an intoxicated look in his eyes. "Of course, you have to play as a female character when playing games. The name of this character shall be Saber."
"Sorry, this nickname is already in use."
Lili immediately reminded, "Master, please change it."
“？？？”
Shi Yangyu's eyes widened and he said with some distress, "It's over, I actually forgot about this... In that case, call her King..."
"Sorry, this nickname is already in use..."
"Then call her King Arthur!"
"Sorry, this nickname..."
"Call Saber King Arthur!"
"Sorry..."
"..."
After some testing, Shi Yangyu finally gave up and gave himself the conventional name of "Juyang Jushi" before the character was successfully created.
Immediately after, a character attribute card appeared in front of Shi Yangyu.
"Name: Juyang Jushi."
"Gender: Female."
"Age: 18."
"Race: Human."
"Attributes: Strength 8, Constitution 10, Figure 9, Agility 11, Charm 14, Intelligence? Perception? "
"Profession: None."
"Profession Skills: None."
"Special Skills: None."
Looking at these data, Shi Yangyu suddenly asked curiously, "How did these attributes come about? Did I roll a die?"
"No, this is automatically judged based on the character you created."
Lili replied, "After the attributes of each created character are digitized, they are about 10 points. This is an average value. The character you created is female and thin, so her strength is slightly weaker than the average. However, there are gains and losses. Your Agility is slightly higher than the average, and according to the system's judgment, your appearance is extremely good-looking, so it is judged to be 14 points after digitization."
"As for Intelligence and Perception attributes, because they depend on the player themselves, they cannot be determined for the time being."
"In other words, if I set the character as a three-meter-tall man, my strength can be further increased?"
Shi Yangyu suddenly understood and seemed to understand something.
"Of course, but the system limits the maximum height of the created character to no more than 230 centimeters, so your Strength can reach up to 15 points, but your Agility will also be correspondingly reduced."
"So how do I improve my attributes? Upgrade? "
"All the physical rules of this game refer to reality, so there is no upgrade system."
Lili replied, "But all attributes can be enhanced through training, that's for sure."
Hearing Lili's words, Shi Yangyu could not help but feel a little disappointed. Although this game was fun, according to the explanation of the intelligent AI, it was a little too hardcore...
Thinking of this, Shi Yangyu no longer cared about this. He immediately chose to enter the game.
Immediately, a progress bar that was half an hour long began to load...
