[Current Number of applications: 113 people]
My goodness.
After refreshing the page once, there were two more applications.
At this moment, Chu Guang was sitting in the residential hall of the shelter, staring at the back end of the official website on the computer screen and thinking in his heart.
"Where did these people come from?"
There weren’t this many active people in the group...
Alt account?
Impossible.
No one could open an alt account on the official website of Wasteland Online.
Not to mention changing the IP, it was useless to even change the head. The access permission was the same as the helmet, as it was bound to a person, not a computer.
Chu Guang opened the forum and took a look. There were many familiar IDs, but there were also some that he only saw for the first time.
Quit_smoking: [Why suddenly there are so many people on the forum? ? ? Where did you all come from! ]
Kakarot_from_the_future: [From Honor of Kings premade player group? I saw the link sent by others. ]
Irene: [It’s different for me, I’m from (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) group]
Good_names_are_taken_by_dogs: [Brother, check your PM. ]
That_touch_of_longing: [(Eat_popcorn.jpg)]
Teng_teng: [What kind of game is this? Is it real? ]
The_great_demon_king_tian_tian: [+1 the same question. ]
Quit_smoking: [It’s not real! It’s all fake! All those people above are shills. Please, don't apply! It’s fake, fake fake, fake! (Frustration)]
Teng_teng: [≡ω≡]
The_great_demon_king_tian_tian: [Okay then, goodbye. ]
Chu Guang: ...
Was there something wrong with this Quit_smoking guy? ? ?
The official website forum finally gained some popularity, but this guy tried to make people leave?
Chu Guang was speechless for a while, but he didn't take it too seriously.
He was not a petty-minded person.
After lurking around in the forum, Chu Guang could roughly understand why there was suddenly a surge of new users.
It turned out that some group members took the screenshot of the Bull and Horse Club group chat and the game official website and forwarded them to other game groups.
Then, this Wasteland Online, which only had the official website, settings, and "empty promises", became inexplicably popular in the gaming circle.
Many new users followed the trend from other game groups, most of them were asking strange questions such as "What kind of game is this game?", "When will the game be in open beta?", and "Can I take off my pants in the game?" accompanying that, "Would a mosaic show in the game?".
Not many people discussed the content of the game seriously.
Chu Guang couldn't help wondering whether he should appoint a few moderators to help manage the forum?
He switched to the desktop and logged in to the Penguin chat software. Chu Guang opened the "Bull and Horse Club" game group. At the moment, the group was very lively.
The topic of beta qualification seemed to have been discussed before, but now the topics in the group have completely focused on the alpha 0.2 update and the "Winter is Coming" expansion.
An expansion pack was released for a game that was still in the closed beta stage?
This was too ridiculous!
Garbage_pickup_level_99: [Are you serious? Wouldn’t those who are not qualified for the beta test miss it? ]
No_one_understands_love: [This is outrageous! ]
Quit_smoking: [Can someone @ the stupid game desginer? Give us access! I can give money! ]
Garbage_pickup_level_99: [@Light, someone called you stupid. ]
Quit_smoking: [Shit! ]
("Quit_smoking" recalled a message)
Chu Guang: "..."
Why was it this guy again?
Just when Chu Guang wondered if he should send some messages, he suddenly found that There_will_be_ample_time had sent a private chat message to him.
[Brother Light, are you there? (Smiling)]
Curious about what this old brother was going to say, Chu Guang typed back.
[Just finished my work. What's the matter? ]
There_will_be_ample_time: [There is one thing I have been confused about, and I wanted to ask you... About the NPC called administrator. Is it an employee of your company or is it an AI?]
Worried that it would not be convenient for this old brother to answer this question, he immediately followed up with another statement after typing this sentence.
[I’m just curious. If it involves corporate secrets or something, you don’t have to answer me. ]
Guang: [It's okay, this is not a secret. Besides, if it is really a secret, it is not something a small game designer like me will be able to access. ]
Ample Time was thrilled and hurriedly typed.
[Mhm mhm! Then please tell me! ]
Chu Guang thought for a while, then typed on the keyboard shamelessly.
[In short, its existence is very special. ]
‘Special!’
‘Good heavens.’
‘As I expected, this is not an ordinary NPC.’
There_will_be_ample_time felt excited after noticing the important keyword, his thumbs typing quickly on the phone screen.
[Can you be more specific? ]
Guang: [He is the first generation of fully artificial intelligence developed by our company. ]
[Fully artificial intelligence? ? ]
Ample Time was dumbfounded.
This was beyond his scope of knowledge.
But--
It seemed incredible!
Sitting in front of the computer, Ample Time's eyes glistened, wishing the "insider" to reveal more.
And this Brother Light did not disappoint him, and continued to type words on the screen.
Guang: [Yes, it is artificial intelligence that is completely close to humans! ]
Guang: [He has his own personality, memory, thinking mode, as well as value orientation and behavior motivation, so we give him the power to restrain players and the responsibility to guide players into the game. ]
‘Sure enough!’
‘I was right!’
Ample Time was so excited that he almost dropped his phone, and his trembling thumb continued to type words.
There_will_be_ample_time: [I get it! No wonder his decision can affect your test progress! In fact, I have discovered that the content of this game itself has been developed quite well, and with how immersive this game is, it almost feels like the real world! It is not an exaggeration to say that even a picky person like me can't find an obvious bug! ]
There_will_be_ample_time: [If I have to talk about flaws, there are too few NPCs! So, I was thinking that maybe what you are testing is not the game, but the AI of the game. Even the expansion of the alpha 0.2 version update "Winter is Coming" is also for this purpose... Am I right? ]
He hit the nail on the head!
This was There_will_be_ample_time's evaluation of his reply.
Combining all kinds of clues, he felt that he had a complete insight into the game developer's intentions.
The group of friends were discussing why Wasteland Online released the "Winter is Coming" expansion during the closed beta stage. The scattered conclusions and speculations drawn by them were all superficial things in his opinion.
At most, they had only scratched the surface, while some couldn't even see it.
Only he understood the true intention of the developers.
To the outside, the mysterious enterprise that developed Wasteland Online was testing the game, when it was, in fact, testing the "complete artificial intelligence" based on the game framework!
And this expansion called "Winter is Coming" was exactly what this mysterious company’s tests were for "the first generation of complete artificial intelligence"!
The silence lasted for a while.
Seeing that this old brother named Light didn't speak, Ample Time had a premonition in his heart, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
‘I really am a genius!’
Guang: [You are very smart. ]
Guang: [It is like you said, the "Winter is Coming" expansion is really to test the performance of the first generation of full artificial intelligence, and is also a necessary procedure to start the next round of testing. ]
While typing out these words, Chu Guang silently deleted the information he had just edited in the document.
Because he felt that this old brother's nonsense sounded more convincing.
This guy was indeed a genius.
In terms of imagination that is...
There_will_be_ample_time: [I think I understand what you mean now, so the progress of the test is really affected by the progress of the game plot, right? ]
Light: [Yes. ]
There_will_be_ample_time: [And at this stage, only the administrator of the shelter 404 is able to advance the plot, right? ]
Light: [Yes. ]
There_will_be_ample_time: [Thank you! I understand it now! I have troubled you to reveal so much inside information to me. But rest assured, I will keep the secret! (Smile)]
Guang: [Actually, this is not inside information. It doesn't matter if you don't want to keep it secret. ]
There_will_be_ample_time: [No, no, I will keep it secret, you can rest assured! Anyone who knows me knows that I am super reliable! (Smile) (Smile)]
Chu Guang: "..."
