Chapter 633: Patch
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shi Yangyu did not quite understand why it took half an hour to load the ga for the first ti.
Still, in this half an hour, he got a grasp on the rules of the ga.
To put it simply, the designer of this ga seed to have extre perfectionism. All the details in the ga functioned 100% according to reality. For example, in the ga, one needed to eat and drink, take baths, wash up, and even use the restroom.
Not only that, but players also had to sleep and rest, and needed to recover if they got injured.
He could still understand these restrictions, but the main thing was that players could not just go offline anyti and anywhere? This was a little strange.
According to the Ga Rules, to go offline, a player had to return to their dedicated room to do so. If they did not, they would have to bear the consequences.
Moreover, if the character was seriously injured, their mobility would be greatly reduced, and they might even die due to wound infection. This was unlike ordinary gas where one could still leap around actively as long as there was a trace of life left.
If the player’s character died, the player had two choices — either rebuild the character or choose to respawn. However, when respawning, they needed to wait for half an hour, and all their equipnt and previous physical attributes they had trained would be lost. The respawn point would be at the beginning location.
To put it simply, this ga was completely designed based on reality. Whether in terms of its physics engine or chemistry engine, it was the sa as reality.
Finally, the right to final explanation of the ga belonged to Blacklight Biotechnology.
After reading these rules, Shi Yangyu could not help feeling a little speechless. He did not know how fun the ga could be if it was designed like this, but was this not the world’s first ga with all five senses incorporated? Since the players had no other choices, this ga would probably be sought after by a considerable number of people anyway.
However, fortunately, at the bottom of the ga rules, there was an option to leave a comnt. Seeing this, Shi Yangyu imdiately left a ssage: “Although I haven’t entered the ga yet, according to the Ga Rules, I hope to make the following suggestions:
“1. Can you cancel the setting that players can’t just go offline anywhere? After all, the ga is just a pasti. Although it claims to be 100% faithful to reality, there’s no need to be too rigid.
“2. Can the death penalty be reduced? The penalty of clearing out the player’s account after death is too harsh. I personally recomnd that the physical attributes of the player be retained, otherwise, this setting will discourage a considerable number of casual players.
“3. The setting of pooping and peeing must be removed, it’s disgusting!
“4. I wonder if there’s a function to do ‘that’? I strongly request ‘that’ be added in! Please make it happen, boss!”
After writing this carefully, Shi Yangyu felt that his suggestions were fairly pertinent. He glanced at the progress bar and it had reached the end. Seeing this, he imdiately clicked the send button and submitted his suggestion.
Then, Shi Yangyu’s vision went black again.
“Ugh...”
An indescribable sensation washed over him. Shi Yangyu only felt that he had regained his sense of the body, but his entire body was limp. His nerves felt weak and powerless, making it difficult for him to even open his eyes.
“Wake up, wake up!”
There was a female chirping voice in his ears. Shi Yangyu tried his best to open his eyes, but only saw a blur in front of him. He could only see the light on the top of his head and there was a figure sitting in front of his bed. After he had opened his eyes, the figure stood up excitedly and kept nagging him.
“Juyang Jushi, you’re finally awake!”
He only heard the female voice saying, “You fainted in front of my pub two days ago and had a very serious fever. I thought you wouldn’t survive, but to think that you’ve stubbornly made it through. How delightful! ”
Shi Yangyu opened his mouth, but he felt a burning dryness in his throat, and he could not even say a word.
“Goodness, look at chattering on. Have so water first...”
The figure quickly walked off and when she ca back again, she had already brought a bowl of water. She helped Shi Yangyu up and he gulped down the whole bowl of water.
“Phew...”
Shi Yangyu heaved a sigh of relief, but his body still felt extrely weak. This incomparably real sensation even caused him a little panic because it was too real. Whether it was his limp body or the bowl of water he drank, it was just like reality!
At this mont, he even wondered if he had transmigrated to another life.
He slowly opened his hands and placed them in front of him, looking at them with a sowhat blurred vision, only to see that they were a pair of pale, slim hands, with thin fingers, slender joints, and fair skin. This was not a man’s palms at all...
What shocked him the most was that these hands were full of minuscule details. Whether it was their fingerprints or palm prints or the hairs on the back, so thin they were almost invisible, they were all very lifelike. He tried to clench his fists and his hands correspondingly produced the sa tactile sensation...
“This, this, this....”
Shi Yangyu looked at all this in a blank daze. The astonishnt in his heart was beyond words.
Was this a ga? This was not reality? Could it be that he had transmigrated?
“Alright, you’re a little weak now. I’ll bring you a bowl of food.”
The woman next to the bed continued. “When you can get out of bed, you can be a dancer where I work. After all, you have amnesia. You have no support in Blacklight City, which you aren’t familiar with. If you leave, with your appearance, in less than two days, you’ll be seized by human traffickers and sold to the rich...”
With that, the woman turned and left.
Shi Yangyu listened to all this silently. His vision beca clearer and gradually, he could see everything around him. At the sa ti, there was a “ding” notification sound in his mind and there appeared a translucent interface in front of him that only he could see. There was a prompt on it:
[Task notification: This task is a novice task. Player “Juyang Jushi” can choose to temporarily stay in “Madam Mi’s Pub” as a dancer and gradually beco familiar with Blacklight City or choose to leave at any ti and give up the novice task.]
[However, please note that any action will have a chain reaction. After choosing to leave “Madam Mi’s Pub”, “Madam Mi’s Pub” will no longer be a shelter for the player “Juyang Jushi”.]
Seeing these two prompts before him, Shi Yangyu could not help frowning and murmured, “This is the novice task of the legend? And my life experience is reduced to an unidentified mory loss? I’m currently being adopted by the proprietress of a pub?”
However, after saying this, Shi Yangyu got a fright because he realized that although his voice was a little hoarse, it still sounded a little lodious. It was a woman’s voice...
Thinking of this, Shi Yangyu imdiately moved out of the bed. He braced his sowhat sore and feeble body and ca to the mirror, and suddenly saw the figure of a beautiful blonde girl!
“My gosh...”
Shi Yangyu’s mouth suddenly twitched and a sense of absurdity seized him. Although he did take the initiative to build this female character, he never expected that the sense of imrsion in this ga was this godlike. Everything that this body conveyed was almost no different from reality!
No wonder the ga stated that this ga would be the player’s second life...
Shi Yangyu’s mouth kept twitching and the “her” in the mirror was doing the sa. As the character was too gorgeous, even this kind of absent-minded expression was fascinating.
“Wait!”
A deranged idea suddenly flashed across his mind. Once it occurred to him, it could not be suppressed, growing like mushrooms after rain. His breathing beca more and more rapid, and at the sa ti, he raised his hands tremblingly, and with a tentative gesture, slowly reached out to his chest...
“Ah~”
...
Five days later, the ga Ancient Civilization did not beco less of a hot topic just because there were only 100,000 closed beta players. On the contrary, the popularity of Ancient Civilization was through the roof and all of this was thanks to the 100,000 closed beta players who were madly bragging giving feedback on the Internet.
At the sa ti, many closed beta players also keenly sniffed out the possibility of business opportunities. They made the gaplay into videos and sent them to major video websites in the world, which also attracted an astounding wave of response from the world —
The ultimate degree of freedom, the ga graphics that were as real as reality, the incredible imrsion, and even the feedback from the NPC were like that from a real person...
Countless advantages piled together to form a strong wave, intensifying the storm of hype surrounding Ancient Civilization.
At this ti, Chen Chen was sitting at the desk, listening to Little X’s report.
“At present, 100,000 closed beta players have entered the ga.”
Little X reported, “The average online ti of each player is 14 hours per day, accounting for 58% of the ti each day.
“The probability of players entering the ga in the closed beta is 100% for the first ti, 95% for the second ti, 93% for the third ti, 92% for the fourth ti, and as for the fifth ti, which is today, the number of players entering the ga is 91,300, which is 91.3%. The player retention rate exceeds 90%.”
“That’s not a bad figure.”
Chen Chen nodded, sowhat satisfied.
“The main reason many players did not enter the ga again, in addition to factors such as having to work, is that the ga is too close to reality and the death penalty is too high.”
Little X said, “At present, we’ve received more than 330,000 suggestions for improvent from the closed beta players. The most ntioned suggestion is regarding the death penalty for players. Everyone thinks that the death penalty is too serious and doesn’t conform to the rules of a ga.
“And their second most ntioned suggestion is the problem of going offline. Many players think that they’ll occasionally have an ergency and they can’t possibly return to their hideout to go offline every ti.”
“Indeed, if it were , I wouldn’t like these inhuman rules either.”
Chen Chen said thoughtfully, “For real players, it’s a ga after all and it’s a ga full of fighting and killing elents. If this is the case, it’s difficult to avoid death. No one wants to start from scratch again each ti they die.”
“So, what should we do?”
Little X asked curiously.
“We can record the physical fitness of each player after they’ve trained.”
Chen Chen thought for a while and suggested, “When the player dies and we print a new body, we’ll directly print them out at their peak physical fitness. In this case, even if they die, their hard-won physical fitness would not be lost.”
“That’s a good idea!”
Little X’s eyes lit up instantly and she reminded. “In this way, we can also open the bank of Blacklight City to the players. All player characters can deposit their money and valuables in the bank, so the death penalty can be further reduced.”
“At the sa ti, the problem of logging off can be solved.”
Chen Chen continued. “After all, their bodies in the end dinsion have God chips, so when they go offline, we can take the initiative to control their bodies to locate the nearest hiding point so that the ga’s character won’t die just because there’s no one controlling them after the player has logged off.”
“Uh-huh!”
Little X nodded and then reported again, “The third suggestion ntioned by them is that the physical functions of their bodies in the ga are too realistic. Many players are doing the novice tasks that we’ve arranged. These players haven’t co into contact with any combat. However, there’s still a small number of players who aren’t satisfied with this. They felt that all this was a ga, so they did whatever they wanted in Blacklight City.
“After several fights with gangsters, many of these players have died, but there are still so players who haven’t died but have lost their arms and legs. These people find that their injuries are too difficult to heal, so they asked us to change the body’s physical system to allow injuries to heal quickly.”
“This is indeed a serious problem.”
Chen Chen could not help thinking about it. If this problem was not solved, the gaplay would be greatly reduced.
“It’s not just that.”
Little X suddenly complained, “These players also pose a serious insidious threat to the safety of the city. It’s just an increase of 100,000 people now, but the burden on Blacklight City is already significant. When those players arrive, they also account for a lot of the cri rate. The cri rate in Blacklight City has soared in the past few days and there’s panic in the city.
“At the sa ti, the thousands of android NPCs and hiding places used for novice missions are almost running out. At most, we can only take in 100,000 players at the sa ti. Any more would be impossible to bear. When the ga is opened up to the world in the future, I’m afraid the entire Blacklight City is going to be completely ssed up...”
“After all, humanity is the ‘fourth natural disaster’. Of course, I understand.”
Chen Chen thought for a while and said after so deliberation, “I’ve planned to launch 5,000 low-orbit communication satellites in the end dinsion in the near future, covering the entire world without any blind spots, so that the ga characters can run around the world. At that point, they can go wherever they want, it’s all up to them. This way, the pressure on Blacklight City will be alleviated indirectly.”
“But if so, the dical treatnt system also needs to keep up with them...”
Chen Chen added. “We can transport several fully-automated dical platforms to the end dinsion and set up several rapid treatnt centers within the Joint Resistance Army. Injured players can quickly heal the character’s injuries by spending money. This will solve the player’s injury problem.
“At the sa ti, for the next step, I’ll cooperate with the other four Joint Resistance Army forces in the end dinsion and open a 3D printing factory on their side, which will also draw away so of the players. Still, all this will co later... ”
At this point, Chen Chen could not help but smile and joke, “Perhaps soon, we might be able to take back the end dinsion with an army of billions of players...”
