MTL - Returning from the Low-Magic World, I Created My Own Artificial Intelligence-Chapter 518 Open the price
Chapter 518 Opened - The Price
"Haha! Sure enough, I have been concerned about "Abyss World" and taught myself various teachings, which are effective. Boys, I have been selected!"
As the "Abyss World" closed beta quotas began to be released, players who had won the quotas started various shows.
Before, there were only 3,000 places in the first batch of closed betas, more than 1,000 of which were Star Cup players, and many of the rest were distributed to various anchors and affiliated accounts by the World Company, and those who could be drawn out were really few.
But this time, the quota of 600,000 is a full two hundred times increase, and the number of people in various shows will undoubtedly increase.
It was only soon that everyone found out that the 600,000 quota seems to be a lot, and there are exam questions and tests in order to let the selected players have a certain game foundation, but the competition is still unexpectedly fierce!
"What? Are there so many players paying attention? I have also taught myself for a while, why didn't I?"
"I specially took a surprise tutoring session, but I didn't get it."
"No way, many games don't reach 600,000 monthly active users, so the number of 600,000 internal betas here is so small?"
"Global robbing, under the high welfare propaganda recruited by Internet giants, it is normal for more than one billion robbing."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. In other words, it's even more difficult than being number one in middle school."
"..."
As the number of places dwindled and qualified internal beta players appeared one by one, the battle for talent grabbing became more and more intense.
First of all, it is the 'Abyss Mineral Company' that has established a firm foothold in the abyss.
As the founding trio, Chong Tian, Qin Dashao, and Big Pineapple started multiple rounds of financing, and because Abyss World is a game developed entirely with unique technology, there is no need to use other Internet platforms at all, and there is no need to give too much money. Face, is to see how much money and how much effort!
Penguin, Ari, Kangaroo, Ferry, Weibo, well-known Internet companies in China, except for the world company, have actually invested in the "Abyss Mineral Company".
Although the influx of investment has led to the continuous dilution of equity, but relying on the framework of the agreement signed at the beginning, the company is still firmly in the hands of the three founders.
And with this huge capital injection, it can be more liberal in recruiting people.
This is like a snowball. Originally, the 'Abyss Mineral Company' seized the opportunity, but now that it has absorbed the power of capital without making mistakes, it will only roll faster.
It is precisely because of this alliance of major domestic Internet companies that the 'Abyss Mineral Company' is currently the only force in the game.
In fact, I originally wanted to recruit the World Company.
For a world company that owns TT, with the help of this platform, it has nothing to say about its influence and financial resources.
But "Abyss World" is also jointly developed by the world company, and it is already the person who makes the rules, so naturally it is too lazy to join it.
It’s not that the world company doesn’t care about money at all, but that it’s easy to get pulled over as a producer investment, and it’s not necessary.
As a beta player was selected, World Company and Umbrella also released an update notice for the new version.
"The new internal beta version will add a new map, and at the same time make some adjustments based on the suggestions collected from players, optimize the water surface texture and tactile effect, optimize the weather effect, and develop a taste experience effect, which is convenient for players to eat in the game ..."
There are a lot of eloquence, some of which are non-existent optimizations, and some are targeted 'patches' for the Sophie world.
Followed by some background introduction of the new version.
"...Abyss Lord Enzo and other nearby lords discovered that this area is anchored by a magical world. In order to explore more magical knowledge and resources, Enzo is going to come to the Abyss Magic Crystal and prepare to use the help of the Hall of Valor Open the door to another world.
"In order to test the strength of the magical world, the heroic spirits of the Hall of Valor will rely on their immortal bodies to become the advance team to enter the investigation. First, we will establish a resident in the Warcraft Forest that can accommodate the heroic spirits..."
Then there are some vague introductions to the world of Sophie, all countries stand side by side, and two gods rule the world.
However, as the two gods disappeared from public view for longer and longer, new chaos and wars began to break out in the originally peaceful countries.
The introduction to the world was completely added by Wang Yi at the last minute.
The big boss behind the scenes works overtime here to write copywriting, which is really inspirational.
It’s enough to write something vague. Anyway, it’s just the background. Wang Yi himself doesn’t know the details. If he writes too much, if there is some wrong information because the town is too remote, it will be embarrassing.
"Abyss World" has started a 24-hour downtime maintenance, listing a list of dozens of updates.
But what needs to be noted is that in order to hide the identities of the heroic spirits in the early stage, it is necessary to spend money on "appearance modification" when going to the magic world.
The modification fee is not expensive. If the basic standard is met, it only needs 100 credits, but it will be ugly. If you want to be beautiful, you have to pay more.
Looks like an extra DLC pack for a free game, with new features you have to pay for.
If it were an ordinary game, some people might curse, but "Abyss World" rewards credit points every day, so no one would say anything more.
After all, this is more realistic, so don’t be blind to this game!
"Did you see that the concentration of magic power is not as good as that of the abyss when you go to the Sephire Realm, so after the establishment of the station is completed, there will be a new hunger option in the future, and you need to eat."
"The player's taste system has also been added. Good guy, is this game going to sell food?"
"Didn't I say that in the early stage, we wanted to establish a stronghold in the World of Warcraft Forest. How can there be delicious food without seasoning."
"Too…"
"However, I won't die from starvation anyway, but the attribute will be reduced, it doesn't matter."
"No, in reality, the NPC will have more options for selling seasonings, as well as options for selling artificial food and compressed food, which means it is transported from the earth."
"Dude, another place to recycle credits."
"Laughs, Umbrella even found this kind of excuse in order to miss the credit points sent out. It is better to carry more modern weapons than transporting seasonings. What kind of magical world, just flatten it."
"The game should pay attention to the gradual progress..."
"..."
The game is down for maintenance, and I can’t watch the live broadcast. I can only watch some previous video recordings. Most of them are hugging together to discuss some changes after the game update.
A game that involves such a hot topic can last for a long time, which is really unique.
Resident Evil, Abyss Invasion, Spaceship Launch, and Zerg, although they still retain their enthusiasm, they are all mixed in the game.
To put it bluntly, it is useless for ordinary people to care about bugs, and it is useless for them to worry about this thing.
And the external pressure will actually make many people want to enter the game and dream about it.
With the end of the maintenance period, most of the closed beta players who have received the helmets and the first batch of closed beta players also chose to enter the game at the first time...
Chapter 752
Abyss, Enzo leads.
At this time, during the 24 hours when the player disappeared, all the NPCs were in a panic.
A large portal in the middle is located on the Silver Square.
In addition to this, there are also two connected subsidiary portals in the other two connected gathering places.
The 600,000 players are completely different from the previous 3,000. It would be crowded if all of them are placed in the initial territory, so they are all divided into three different gathering places, which is equivalent to three small counties gathering players together.
It's just that the resurrection points are still concentrated in the original Silver Castle, so when the players go offline, they have to carry a large number of new players' bodies to the other two gathering places to complete the split.
Although there are many slaves of the Yaya people, it still seems a bit tense to complete these transfers and some scene changes in 24 hours.
Fortunately, there is also magic assistance, which barely meets the requirements.
"Hurry up! Players will be online soon!"
"Functional NPCs all go back to their workstations, hurry up."
"Have the construction materials not been processed yet?"
"Quick, throw it into the magma."
"Drag these seasoning bags into the store quickly."
"Start striking the iron, strike the iron!"
"Come on, come on, players are starting to log in, shut up."
"..."
As the players started to go online, the frizz of the NPC disappeared in the shortest time.
After training for so long before, their reactions are quite good.
"Hey, it feels like the gathering place has expanded a bit."
"That's right, 600,000 players are on the same screen, tsk tsk~ the server is awesome."
"Do you understand artificial intelligence? Do you understand supercomputing?"
"It seems to be scattered in three villages, but each village has 200,000 people, more people than our town. Look, that is a portal. Go and find out quickly. I don't know if there are any pre-requisite tasks."
"Where is Mengxin? Why are you old guys again?"
"Hehe, can you react so quickly when you first went online?"
"Hey, I'll go back and take a picture of their funny looks, when black history..."
"..."
The first ones to come out are naturally the old beta players who are already quite familiar with the game.
Even if the new players selected this time are all cloud players who have studied offline, they already have an advanced understanding and cognition of the game.
But when they went online, they were still full of a sense of shock.
Because of the addition of the taste system, the sense of smell is naturally added.
Even though the shielding has been adjusted, the smell of sulfur in the air still shocks the newcomers as soon as they go online.
"At first I thought that "Starry Sky World" was already the limit, no matter how good it was, it wouldn't exceed too much. I didn't expect it to be a big mistake."
"I don't know what "Starry World" is. If I say a few words, I am afraid that "Abyss World" will be misunderstood."
"This sense of touch, this degree of simulation, I am so excited!"
"This soil can also be eaten! Bah bah~ it's unpalatable."
Mengxin climbed out of the grave one by one. At this time, many people were fumbling here and there.
Someone touched themselves all over, and someone lay on the floor and sniffed the fragrance of the soil.
It's like a mental hospital scene.
Even the players who have been screened and answered the questions can be regarded as the elite among cloud players.
But it still shows the characteristics of the player itself.
"How energetic are you all? Has anyone been selected into the mage class?"
"There are 600,000 people this time, there should be quite a few with mage talent."
"I'm just afraid that the threshold will be raised."
"Damn! 11 o'clock, I'm so mad."
"Don't look at it, most of them can't reach 12 o'clock, and the last issue was because there were not enough people, so if you have a fast hand speed at 12 o'clock, you can pay for it at your own expense, which is cheaper."
"I guess it's normal to have more than 15 mental power. It seems that the birth room is different from ours..."
"It doesn't matter, I would get dizzy looking at mathematics."
"I just prefer the feeling of punching to the flesh..."
"..."
Don't speak the sour words of ordinary players in the ordinary recovery room.
This time, more than 400,000 of the 600,000 players entered the game for the first time!
There are more than a thousand players with 15 points of mental power, and they all wake up in the special room of the Silver Fortress.
Compared to the demons dancing in the ordinary room, the people who wake up here are relatively calmer.
"The style is different."
"It should be a special talent who can enter the magic class."
"It's okay, okay, I was a little worried."
"It's not in vain that I have taught myself magic for so long."
"It's good to be interested in magic theory, but mathematics and magic mathematics are a headache."
"..."
Many players who woke up here immediately noticed the difference and made a judgment. Those who didn't react immediately could also complete the confirmation after hearing the conversations of other players next to them.
Although innate mental strength does not necessarily mean high achievement, acquired learning is also very important.
But since they all came in after answering the questions, they must have seriously studied the game.
"Waiting for someone to pick you up?"
"According to the number of people, there should be quite a few. I didn't know there were so many magic classes."
"It should be enough. Although the number of mages shown in the video is not many, it is still enough for a class of fifty people to complete the division."
"Oh? Your job is a teacher, right?"
"Haha, class teacher."
However, although most of the players selected in the first batch of internal testing are full of enthusiasm and love for the game, more than two-thirds of them went online immediately, but there are still some people who choose to complete some things in real life first...
…
Modu, a high-end villa area with a beautiful environment and neatly manicured green belts, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who looks a little thin is walking around the community with a golden retriever.
A security guard trotted behind, ready to dispose of the dog's excrement at any time.
But this golden retriever has been trained very well, and there was no trouble along the way.
Just when it came to the entrance of the underground parking lot, suddenly the golden retriever started to make a sound of fear.
The boy who looked a little malnourished and thin was holding him behind him, and he stepped forward to pat the dog's head, scratched its neck, and then walked around the entrance and walked in another direction.
Glanced back at the entrance of the parking lot, a translucent spirit body was hovering there, with empty eyes staring out in the shadows, looking very penetrating.
The appearance is somewhat similar to the head of the household who suffered a heart attack in the car a few days ago.
Chen Youyou continued to walk the dog while walking, her expression also seemed a little numb.
I can see these things since I was a child, but my parents are university professors, and I always think that I have some kind of mental illness.
Even he himself once wondered if he was sick.
However, it is often found that the appearance of those spirit bodies is similar to that of the deceased nearby, and they have not even heard of their death, so they can only ask about the situation later.
He can also be sure that he should be fine...
As the parents of university professors, they didn't consider this situation at all, and took themselves everywhere for treatment, and dropped out of middle school to stay at home.
He was not sick at first, but he developed insomnia. Coupled with the influence of being able to see spirit bodies, he was malnourished since childhood.
It was only after Ankang was established in recent years that his predicament was greatly alleviated, and the dark circles that had been hanging around his eyes disappeared.
His parents worried that he would be too lonely at home, so they took him to a pet store to pick out this golden retriever. He immediately fell in love with this dog, which was shivering and hiding in the corner, and has kept it until now.
It can also sense those things...
Chapter 753 The price
After running around and returning to his villa, Chen Youyou squatted down and stretched out his hands to scratch the golden retriever's neck
"Go to eat later, my game is here, I'll go in and have a look."
This golden retriever is full of spirituality. After whining and hooting at its owner, it trotted away with a basin in its mouth.
There is enough dog food in the automatic feeding machine.
After entering the house, the robot came over and took out the shoes, and flashed the signal light and made a sound
"Little master, "Abyss World" has started testing. I have installed the helmet for you and put it on the bed. It is best to take Ankangding before entering the game."
"I see, thanks."
After returning to the room and taking Ankangding with water, Chen Youyou entered the game belatedly.
It was the first time to experience an immersive virtual game, although it brought him a sense of surprise and considerable excitement.
But because of the adaptability brought by childhood, the recovery is faster than others.
Ah Piao has seen it all before, and these seem to be no big deal...
Because the login was much slower than other players, when Chen Youyou entered the game, there were not many people in the recovery room.
"There is a newcomer here, just in time, let's go, we are all mage seedlings, we can go to the magic class, if the other attributes are not up to the standard and want to become a mage, we have to follow the video to learn..."
A voice came from beside Chen Youyou, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Because of the **** relationship and dropping out of school now, he has always been a little socially phobic.
Hearing these slightly proud words now, he just nodded silently.
"By the way, how much mental power do you have? I'm seventeen, it's a pity, hey~"
The guy who opened his mouth to gather the new players in the recovery room, opened his mouth and asked again, and at the same time "unobtrusively" said his mental number.
Most of the people who can appear here have a threshold of 15 points of spirit, about 30% have 16 points, and less than 10% can have 17 points of initial spirit!
So if this looks 'dissatisfied', there is a high probability that it is just showing off.
‘How do you know that I have seventeen spiritual points? '
Chen Humorously glanced at himself.
Psychic power, 21 points.
Wouldn’t it be better not to say it…
"By the way, we will all be classmates at the same time in the future. Let's all add friends? Maybe we can organize a mage guild or something, and we can help each other discuss on weekdays. Discussions between us must be better than those Muggles. Efficient."
The player at 17 o'clock who gathered several people on the scene before started to speak again
"Let me introduce myself first. My ID is Fireball Master, the head of the Magic Station of the Kangaroo Company's virtual game department. Have you signed the agreement? If you haven't signed it, you can consider our Kangaroo. Our company benefits are top-notch in all recruitments. As long as the contract is signed, there will be a lot of subsidies..."
Among the other three people at the scene except Master Fireball, one of them was obviously a little moved when he heard the benefits, but the other one except Chen Youyou said in a sarcastic tone
"Kangaroo? That's really fate. I was your full-time delivery boy before."
"Oh? That's really fate. As long as you join in, you don't have to take out food delivery anymore, and the support and subsidies for mage embryos are higher, and the income is at least several times that of your takeaway delivery."
"Ever since I broke my leg in a car accident when I was delivering food, I haven't run away. You said that the other driver is fully responsible and should be paid by the other driver's insurance, but the driver who caused the accident has only compulsory insurance, and I can't afford it. All the money I’ve saved over the years has been posted in, and I don’t know what the insurance premiums deducted by you every day are, and I even deducted my meal damage, so I asked the opposite insurance company to pay for it, hehe…”
The former takeaway player said with a half-hearted smile, which directly filled the fireball master with a kind of embarrassment.
If we talk about responsibility in this matter, the driver who caused the accident must be more responsible. According to regulations and responsibilities, the driver who caused the accident is indeed compensated.
However, when the driver who caused the accident couldn't afford the compensation, the kangaroo platform didn't care about it at all, and even deducted the meal damage. This made the takeaway boy who, as a full-time rider, paid insurance every day and even obeyed the traffic rules himself The heart is naturally full of resentment.
No matter what, he was involved in a car accident while delivering food for the kangaroo, and because he was not responsible, the insurance he paid would not pay for it? Pay for nothing? Is this instigating my brother to take the initiative to violate the rules?
Under this kind of resentment, it is natural for the little brother to lose his temper when speaking.
"Oh, by the way, my ID is Kangaroo's father. In the future, please give me your advice."
While talking, he also showed a very penetrating expression.
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the excited player and Chen Youyou
"You have seen the virtues of kangaroos. Except for what happened to me personally, when they first started, they used various subsidies and various actions. After they spread out, they began to cancel the subsidies. Instead, there were various fines. Merchants, takeaways Little brother, consumer three eats, pure capitalist face, much smaller than TT takeaway, since games can keep me alive, I won't join them..."
These words made Chen Youyou next to him feel a little weird. When he saw the friend request from 'Kangaroo's father', he felt a little excited and agreed.
"'Good and taciturn Yuyuko'? Why is the ID so long?"
"Just call me Yuyuko."
"Oh, then you can also call me his father."
…
Surfy World, the small town of Danik.
It’s already dawn, but the morning sun can’t penetrate the clouds, it just feels like the sky is getting brighter.
It was still drizzle, and it never stopped.
Wang Yi leaned on the window and looked at the dim street scene outside. At this time, some people who had come out to beg for a living wore coir raincoats and started today's work.
People will not stop eating because of the rain, so people who need to run around for three meals a day still need to continue their work.
Boom~
There was a knock on the door, and it was the breakfast delivered by Lulu, the catwoman waiter.
"Hmm~, is it dawn~"
A lazily and slightly sticky voice came from the bedside.
The exquisite figure covered by the blanket moved slowly, and when she got up, the blanket slid down to reveal an indescribable picture.
It is the proprietress Shalltear.
Uh, a few days have passed, and Wang Yi is still a little familiar in the small town.
Wandering around the world, a well-informed and wealthy bard, it seems normal to be a little scum.
The proprietress is well-informed, and this is also a sacrifice that must be made in order to communicate in depth and learn more about the world.
"Really, I don't know how to get it myself, don't you feel bad if someone sees it~, dead ghost."
Shalltear muttered, and directly tied a blanket on her bulging chest, revealing her round shoulders and collarbone, and slipped to the door on silent catwalks.
Opening the door, before Lulu could react, she stretched out her clean forearm to carry the breakfast back, and then closed the door heavily.
Wang Yi sat at the window admiring Shalltear's dexterous movements.
As expected of a catwoman, her body is flexible. Although the little tiger teeth are a bit sharp, fortunately, her skin is quite tough, and she has a special flavor when she grabs her tail.
And Lulu at the door was stunned when she saw the closed door and the empty dinner plate, and then sniffed her nose.
It feels like the smell of the proprietress, but there is still a strange smell, it should be an illusion...
——
Update completed~
The player's game name appears in the form of 'translation' and 'transliteration' in the different world. The name may seem a bit strange, but it can be regarded as a unique name style of an ethnic group, and it will not be played out because of the meaning of the name.
But also because it is a real world, so players do not necessarily need to use the game ID when communicating with each other, and they can also choose some more suitable names. The ID is mainly used by players to communicate with each other, which is convenient for emails and forums. After all, you don’t know how to use your real name to communicate online, do you?
