Chapter 704: 703. Closed Test_1
In a dostic MMORPG-oriented ga forum, Shi Ming scrolled through the testing recruitnt announced by the operation team, which amassed hundreds of replies in just a few minutes.
“Wow, Lu Ban is about to release a new ga, is it an online ga this ti?”
“Open world? Director Lu, I don’t play many gas, don’t trick . Doesn’t ‘Night of Summoning Spirits’ count as open world?”
“Is it the kind of open world I’m thinking of? The kind where you can run around freely and pick apples?”
“You’re still thinking about picking apples in virtual reality? Haven’t you picked enough on the Hailaru Continent? In an open world, of course, you’d want to do so more exciting stuff!”
“Pick , pick ! Director Lu, hurry and pick !”
“I really want to be Director Lu Ban’s dog, but Director Lu Ban said he likes cats. It doesn’t matter though, because I’m just a rat.”
“I knew it, how could this gaming equipnt not have a major title to guard it? I wonder what the Lu Ban’s ga will have, and the thought of experiencing those scary scenes in person excites
no end!”
“I probably won’t get picked, I’ll wait for a strear to broadcast it. Uh, or I could settle for ga experiences.”
“They’re only recruiting three hundred testers this ti, it’s going to be a fight to the death.”
Anticipating Lu Ban’s new ga, everyone is eager to be part of the denominator, hoping to be chosen. No matter the quality, “Morning Star”‘s first major ga is bound to make history.
Besides, participating in the test is a total win. You can’t possibly be unable to log out once you’re in the ga and have to clear the ga to leave, right?
anwhile, so strears who had previously cooperated in promotions also received invitations.
Old Eggplant was among them.
Without going through the tedious selection process, he got the download code straight away and began downloading the ga in his equipnt.
However, the na of the ga made him feel sowhat intrigued.
[Cage]
Judging by the na alone, the ga’s the is a mystery.
Since it’s an open-world, there must be a large map, right?
But it’s a test, so the map might not be very large?
Once the download was complete, Old Eggplant imdiately put on his helt and entered that Sea of Stars.
He saw that, next to the completed ‘The Conjuring’, there was a new door.
The door looked to be of an equally ancient design but even older and more Western in style than ‘The Conjuring’, like the entrance to so castle or fortress.
Through the crack, so dark green leaves peeked out.
Old Eggplant reached out, trying to push the door open.
But the door was as if frozen in place, immovable no matter what he tried.
After trying for a while, Old Eggplant even circled around to take a look at the back of the door.
Of course, the back of the door was still a door.
He exited the equipnt and went online to search for [Cage].
As expected, so who had already received their testing qualifications had leaked the ga’s na early, and the internet was abuzz with discussions about it.
So speculated that it was an escape room ga, where players might solve mysteries and escape from a vast space or participate in a survival ga like a battle royale.
Others thought it could still be a spooky thriller ga in Lu Ban’s usual style, possibly involving players trapped inside coffin boards, looking for ways to escape.
Still, others delved into it, saying that the architectural style of the door only matched the Night Country in Lu Ban’s diverse universes, suggesting the new ga might be related to the Night Country.
Old Eggplant felt the last theory made a lot of sense.
He imagined a ga like that, not sure if players would ride horses through the forests and towns of the Night Country, solving commoners’ demonic beast and crisis issues, or if they would enter the Gray Tower of the Night Country and learn magic in a school setting.
Either option sounded thrilling.
Moreover, according to the recruitnt post, it was an online ga, a massively multiplayer online ga.
Old Eggplant had played open-world gas before, most of which were single-player. It was hard for online open-world gas to match the freedom of current open-world gas. But under virtual reality equipnt, the traditional open-world gas with invisible walls and limited actions simply wouldn’t work.
Being blocked by invisible walls with a keyboard and mouse is completely different from being blocked by invisible walls using “Morning Star”.
This was also one of the reasons virtual reality gas were challenging to develop. If you couldn’t achieve total imrsion, player movent would be greatly restricted.
Old Eggplant soon saw the UP Master group for his ga zone light up, with ssages quickly exceeding 99 .
[Old C]: Did you get your testing slots for [Cage]?
[Leisure Ronin]: Got it, downloading now, very crucial and urgent.
[Fear of Heat Drink Herbal Tea]: No way, no way, surely nobody missed out on getting a test slot?
[Old C]: Just asking, I’ve already downloaded the ga and I’m waiting for the servers to open.
[Mr. A]: I want to say upfront that I’m a really nice guy, so don’t ss with
when we get in. Let’s put aside our differences and conquer this together.
[Spicy Stead Bun]: Who’s playing Werewolf with you? I think this Night Country-thed ga might offer more freedom than we can imagine. Look, in previous gas, you were just in a house, and anyone who tried to leave kicked the bucket. But Night Country is so vast; you’ll probably need to run for a while to get anywhere on the map.
Old Eggplant felt the sa way.
In the previous Soul Summoning Night, so had tried to see if they could just leave by taking the mountain roads, and even experts in wilderness survival had given it a shot, but they all failed miserably.
How big was the map in this ga?
Apart from the ga strears and review teams that had been directly invited, the remaining three hundred quickly confird they were mostly veteran players, and nearly all had cleared Night of Summoning Spirits before.
The next evening at six o’clock, the closed beta test for [Cage] began.
Old Eggplant had eaten early, taken care of personal physiological needs, put on his helt, and entered the virtual world.
That door was now slightly ajar, and Old Eggplant pushed it open.
Creak—
Accompanied by a noise, Old Eggplant felt engulfed by darkness.
Before he could get his bearings, he felt a chill.
It was as if sothing had covered his body, like water.
But that substance emitted a foul stench, making Old Eggplant subconsciously hold his breath. He soon realized he was in sewage.
No, it was muddy water; he was in a mud pit!
By the ti Old Eggplant beca aware, an invisible force grasped him and in an instant, he was pulled up from the water.
He gasped for air, the scent of slight decay and earth filling his nostrils.
Old Eggplant lay on the ground, enveloped by a sense of narrow escape.
It wasn’t until he heard a voice nearby that he snapped back to reality, propped himself up, and looked forward.
He saw many ragged individuals around him, looking at each other, including a few familiar ga strears.
Standing in front of them was a Knight in red Armor, mounted on a horse, looking imposing.
“Get up, you lot of trash. This is no ti to rest.”
The Knight’s voice reached Old Eggplant’s ears, and that’s when he realized he had entered the ga.
The surroundings were vast and deep forests, and in front of him appeared to be an NPC guide.
Old Eggplant pinched his still muddy face, feeling the pain.
“This ga is too realistic.”
He couldn’t help but marvel.
