Since the beginning of its development, Galaxy had received a lot of attention. There was almost no publicity, only some basic information provided by the official website. However, its popularity continued to increase. Due to various groundless rumors, Galaxy was shrouded in a mysterious veil, which made the players look forward to it even more.
Until the day of the open beta, the enthusiasm of the players who had been waiting for a long time erupted like a volcano. The first batch of game cabins was limited, and there was a limited purchase. Even so, all of them were sold out within half an hour. Those who did not manage to get a game cabin were frustrated, while those who managed to get one could not wait to enter the game.
…
On the first day of the open beta, the first batch of players rushed into the game. In the vast universe, the first batch of players were born at different spawn points on more than a dozen beginner planets.
In the evening, in the forest outside Big Horn Village settlement, one by one, the players who had completed their character creation appeared out of thin air and looked around curiously.
"It feels so real," someone said while jumping around.
"Look at the sky, there are a few moons!" someone said while admiring the scenery.
"Tsk, can't I take off my pants?" someone said.
"Is there no beginner village in this game?" someone said while looking around.
More and more players appeared. As the saying went, if there were more than a thousand players, there would be no end to it. There were at least a few thousand players here. After the initial confusion, some of the sharp-eyed players noticed the lights in Big Horn Village settlement in the distance. They thought that it was the beginner village and rushed over.
The lookout at Big Horn Village settlement was shocked when he saw the group of people in ragged clothes. He quickly blew the whistle and asked his companions to quickly close the gate, not daring to let so many strangers into the settlement.
The players were all blocked outside, and complaints could be heard everywhere.
"What is going on? Why is the beginner village not open?"
"My hunger and thirst are dropping. I'm going to die if I don't eat something."
"The expressions of these NPCs are so vivid."
Inside Big Horn Village settlement, all the residents walked out of their houses with torches and weapons. They guarded the gate with a serious look on their faces to prevent the huge crowd from rushing into the settlement. The village chief, Andre, gathered a few important people in the settlement for an emergency meeting.
"Where did this group of people come from? There are almost ten thousand of them! "Andre was surprised.
"Could it be a group of migrating wanderers?"
"Why don't we just ask directly?"
Xander came to the observation deck and looked down at the players. He asked loudly, "Friends from afar, where did you come from?"
The players looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They whispered to each other, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Seeing this, Andre shook his head. "If you don't tell me where you came from, I can't let you enter the settlement."
The public beta players were dumbfounded. They were all newbies and did not even understand the map. How could they answer the question? Are you kidding me?
Inside the settlement, the closed beta players found it very interesting and watched the show from the side. When they first arrived in the settlement, they did not have to go through this part. At this time, they suddenly received a notification from the interface. A new mission had been triggered. The mission content was to persuade Xander to accept the open beta players. The reward was quite generous, and there was a hint that the choice of words had to be appropriate to the current world.
"Interesting. There's no one else who is as immersive as you."
The closed beta players were amazed. They felt that it was very diverse. They could actually use their own eloquence to influence the choices of NPCs. Their interest was piqued.
After a short discussion, the beta testers found Andre and began to explain.
After listening for a while, Andre finally understood. He was surprised. "Do you know the group of people outside?"
"Yes, we used to be residents of a settlement called Earth Village. Later on, there was a disaster and the settlement was destroyed. We were separated. The people outside are as hardworking as us. Chief Andre, I hope you can accept them."
"Earth Village? Why haven't I heard of such a large settlement? "
Andre mumbled. He was a little moved. He hesitated. "But there are too many of them. I can't let all of them in."
"That's simple. They only need a job and some food and supplies. You can treat them as cheap labor. This is a good opportunity to expand the settlement."
The closed beta players snickered. They could not wait for the public beta players to be tricked.
Andre's eyes lit up. "You're right."
Very soon, Andre explained the situation to the public beta players outside. They all received a mission.
[First Job]: You'd better earn some money through labor. Don't let yourself starve to death. Try to raise the relationship with Big Horn Village to neutral. Only then can you be trusted and accepted. "
With guidance, the public beta players began to do the mission excitedly. Across the fence, the residents of Big Horn Village offered various job opportunities. The merchants were also open to the players. They could use their own money to buy some food.
With a goal in mind, the public beta players started to gain favorability with the residents of Big Horn Village. The residents of Big Horn Village provided simple tents while the public beta players formed a new encampment outside the settlement. They were contributing to the construction of Big Horn Village's socialism.
The same scene was happening at the other Planet Aquamarine's Landing Grounds.
On the first day of the public beta, all the players were very enthusiastic. They soon discovered the camera and video functions and became even more excited. They posted all kinds of trivial things on the forum. The number of posts exploded, and it seemed like it was going to become a social media site. Below were a few representative posts.
"Bad, there's no excretion function!" The poster of this post obviously had an ulterior motive. It was not for excretion at all.
"The feeling of controlling the body of an alien is so special." Another post had a picture of a male Tauren player from a magical planet wagging his tail.
"I'm going to be trampled to death by a wild boar. So happy." The picture was of a female player making a "V" gesture to the camera. Behind her was a wild boar running wildly.
On the first day of the public beta, there were more than a million players. They were divided among the various novice planets, and each planet had about 100,000 players. As the influence spread, the number of players would increase rapidly. Within half a year of the game, the number would reach tens of millions.
The public beta players were very happy, but some of the closed beta players felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar.
…
Dark Crow Valley.
Jupiter and the members of the Guild of Gods looked at the surrounding forest blankly.
Looking around, the forest at the foot of the mountain was verdant, and the night breeze was blowing through the trees. The natural atmosphere was like a gentle hand, gently caressing their hearts, making everything seem natural and harmonious. The lights of Crow Forest Town were faintly lit in the forest.
The scenery was beautiful and pleasing to the eyes.
But where did the base go?
Jupiter asked hesitantly. "The place where we went offline … should be in the base, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and their actions were exactly the same.
"The faction relationship is gone!" Poseidon exclaimed.
Everyone hurriedly checked the interface, and the original [Dark Crow Valley Base Favorability] had disappeared. Everyone stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
"Hurry up and look at the mission!"
As if waking up from a dream, Jupiter hurriedly looked at the interface and was immediately relieved.
"Thank goodness, the mission is still there … F * ck!"
In the next moment, everyone burst into vulgarities at the same time, dumbfounded.
[Search for Zero (Grade A)]: Zero is a mysterious traitor of the Germinal Organization. He has caused great turmoil and caused great losses to the organization. Zero's whereabouts are a mystery. Find him and you will become a friend of the Germinal Organization.
The difficulty had increased from Grade B to Grade A!
The mission notification had also changed. Zero's location was no longer in the Western Capital. They were looking for a needle in a haystack on a planet. The Guild of Gods had done a lot of preparation for this mission. The results of the discussion and the mission points could fill up an entire blackboard. They had even prepared to mobilize many of their peripheral members to search for the mission target in the Western Capital. This change had wasted all their discussions and preparations.
"What did we miss?"
