Chapter 125: What Have We Missed!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Galaxy was in the research and developnt stage, the ga had received wide attention with minimal marketing. Only basic information was provided on the official website. Even so, its popularity was continuously rising. Due to the many groundless rumors, Galaxy was shrouded with an air of mystery, fueling the players’ anticipation and curiosity.
On the day of public beta, the enthusiasm of the players was exploding like the eruption of a volcano. Although the number of VR capsules in the first batch was limited and there was also a restriction on the number of purchases, the ga was sold out in half an hour. Those who did not manage to grab hold of the ga were utterly disappointed, whereas those who did get it could not wait to enter the ga.
...
The day that the ga was released, enthusiastic players rushed into the ga. In Galaxy, there were dozens of players who ca from different birthplaces, and this ford the first batch of players.
In the evening, more and more public beta players who had created their characters appeared out of thin air in the forest outside the settlent of Big Horn Village, looking around curiously.
“It feels so real!” exclaid a player as he jumped around with ease.
“Quick! Look at the sky, there is actually more than one moon!” a player shouted out in excitent as he admired the scenery.
“Woah, can I take off my pants?” asked a muddle-headed player.
“Is there no novice village in this ga?” Another player scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
As more and more players appeared, a huge crowd began to form. With more than a thousand people gathered, one could hardly see an end to the mass of players. There were thousands of players who had gathered. After so confusion, so observant players spotted the lights in the distance from Big Horn Village. Thinking that it was the novice village, the players rushed over en masse.
The guards at the settlent of Big Horn Village were shocked to see the group of ragged n and imdiately blew the whistle to inform the rest of the population to lock their doors and stop this huge group of foreigners from entering their settlent.
The players were all stopped at the gate, and they started shouting out against the guards.
“What is going on? Why isn’t the novice village open?”
“My hunger level is dropping; I will die if I don’t eat sothing.”
“The expressions of these NPCs are so lively.”
Within the settlent of Big Horn Village, all the residents walked out of their house holding torches and weapons, and stood guarding the main door solemnly, preventing the mass of people from attacking the place. The village chief, Xander, gathered the few key personnel urgently.
“Where did this group of people co from? It’s almost 10,000 people!” Xander exclaid.
“Is it a group of migratory vagrants?”
“Let’s just ask directly.”
Xander climbed to the watchtower and asked loudly as he looked down at the huge crowd of players, “Friends from afar, why have you co to us?”
The players looked at one another with confused faces, not knowing how to respond.
Xander then shook his head. “If you all do not state where you are from, I cannot let you enter the settlent.”
The public beta players were baffled. They were all new players who could not even understand the map. How would they be able to tell him their origin? Was that a joke?
Inside the settlent, the closed beta players found the whole situation amusing. It was like a show for them as they watched the situation unfold from the side. They had landed directly inside the settlent when they first arrived and did not have to go through the trouble that the public beta players who had landed outside the settlent had to face now.
Just then, they received a notification. It was a mission where they had to convince Xander to allow the public beta players to enter the settlent, and the prize was rather significant. There was a note that specified they had to make sure that their use of words would match the current ga context.
“Interesting, there are no other gas like this.”
The players inside the settlent were surprised by the creativity in this ga. They could actually use their convincing skills to influence the NPC in this ga. That was new to them.
After a few discussions, the closed beta players went up to Xander to start a discussion.
After what seed like a long ti, Xander finally understood. “Do you all know the group of people outside?”
One of the closed beta players answered with a straight face. “Yes, we used to be residents in the sa settlent, called Earth Village. There was a disaster, and we lost all contact. This group of people outside are all as hardworking as us. Chief Xander, please accept them.”
“Earth Village? Why haven’t I heard of this settlent?” After so thought, Xander seed slightly convinced. “There are too many of them. It is impossible to accept all of them.”
“That is simple. All they need is a job, so food, and basic supplies. You can think of them as cheap labor, and it is also an opportunity to expand the settlent.”
The closed beta players snickered, as they could not wait for the public players to be scamd.
Xander’s eyes lit up. “You are right.”
Soon enough, Xander explained the situation to the public beta players, and they all received a task each.

With guidance, the public beta players started their tasks. Residents of Big Horn Village settlent eagerly provided different job opportunities, and the rchants also opened up their stores to the players, allowing them to use their own money to buy so food.
With a clear goal to work toward, the public beta players started to have a good impression of Big Horn Village. The public beta players ford a ring of tents on the boundary of the settlent, adding on to the construction of the settlent.
The sa scene was happening for the newcors at other settlents on Planet Aquamarine.
On the first day of the public beta, all the players were very excited, and they soon found out that there were cara and video functions, which added on to their excitent. The number of posts on social dia exploded with players posting about the most miniscule of events. The following were so of the posts.
“Poor review! How can there be no excretion function!” The owner of this post obvious had ulterior motives, and he was obviously not really complaining about excretion.
“Taking on an alien body is so fun.” Another post showed a picture of a Taurus male player shaking his tail.
“Almost got killed by a wild boar. It’s so fun!” The post showed a picture of a female player making a peace sign with a wild boar chasing right behind her.
...
On the first day of the launch of the public beta, millions of players joined the ga, and they were assigned to different planets, with at least around 100,000 players on each planet. As the news spread, the numbers rose at a rapid rate. With the next half a year, the numbers would likely snowball into tens of millions.
The public beta players were overjoyed with the ga while so of the closed beta players were not having it so well.
...
In Dark Crow Valley, Jupiter and the other mbers of the guild looked at their surrounding forests with a blank look.
All around them, the woods were green, the evening wind lightly caressed their skin, and the calm atmosphere was like a gentle palm, warming their hearts and making everything seem so harmonious.
The view was amazing and pleasing to the eye.
But where did the base go‽
Jupiter hesitated before he asked, “The place we are going to... should be the base, right?”
Everyone nodded in unison.
“There is no longer a connection with the camp!” Poseidon exclaid.
Everyone then checked their interface and realized that their original [Dark Crow Valley Base Connection] was gone! Everyone was flabbergasted.
What is this situation‽
“Quick! Check the tasks!”
Waking up from the trance, Jupiter checked his interface imdiately, before heaving a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, the mission is still there. Oh sh*t!”
In the next mont, everyone was shocked.

The level of difficulty had changed from B to A!
The task instructions had also changed; the location of Zero was no longer required as it was like finding a needle in a haystack. The Guild of Gods had made a lot of preparations, and the results of the discussion could fill up an entire blackboard. This change had caused all the preparation in the past few days to go to waste.
“What have we missed‽”
Jupiter then thought of the official introduction of Galaxy and lost his voice.
“Don’t tell Zero is the main character on this planet!”
