At 4 p.m. on August 18, Shangdi Oriental Industrial Park, Haidian District, Beijing, was 41 hours away from the official opening of the first WCG finals......

Tester Lu Ze shook his somewhat sore wrist, moved his somewhat stiff neck again, looked away from the monitor that had been staring at him for almost three hours, and casually looked at the green plants in the room. Since eating lunch, in order to test whether a small bug has been fixed, he has repeated the task eighty-nine times, in order to avoid the impact of accidents, he has not used teleportation, teleportation and other auxiliary functions, and has run between several task NPCs and mission locations with his feet, and has repeatedly hit the task monster one hundred and seventy-eight times in the middle, and clicked the mouse more than two thousand five hundred and twenty times. If he was a player, I'm afraid he would have wanted to vomit a long time ago, but unfortunately he was an unlucky tester, in the words of the boss Xu Wenming, "Spit and vomit, and you will get used to it slowly", so he could only grit his teeth and hold on, and continue to repeat boringly.

After completing the same task for the ninetieth time, Lu Ze quit the game, logged in to the enterprise management system with his account, filled in the test results in a work email and replied back, and then opened the next email, ready to continue the test. As he moved his mouse, he swiped over the time in the lower right corner, and he noticed that it was August 18th, and the day after tomorrow was the day after WCG's opening.

Before Lu Ze became a game tester, he also participated in the WCG domestic divisional competition, when he was named in the Beijing division, the game of the game was "Three Kingdoms 3" version 1.08, but unfortunately he failed to reach the top 12 in the qualifying round, and failed to seize the opportunity to grab the last four qualifying places in the repechage match, and finally had to be helplessly blocked out of the top 16 of the Beijing division, and lost the opportunity to participate in the national finals.

Although he lost the opportunity to enter the finals, Lu Ze did not give up his attention to WCG, and he also specially applied for a game tester in the creative workshop, so that he could stay in Beijing and watch the WCG World Finals up close. Unfortunately, before entering this circle, Lu Ze thought that game tester was a peerless job with a salary to play games every day, but when he actually did the game testing job, he found that this was perhaps the most boring job in the game company.

That's right, the game has to be played almost every day, but in addition to playing the game, there are endless documents to fill in, such as test plans, test cases, test feedback reports, etc., which makes Lu Ze's head bigger. What's even more terrifying is that he likes real-time strategy games, but since joining the workshop, he has tested a few role-playing games, and the rest are casual games, and it's not a day or two to play, the same game sometimes plays for months, and even needs to repeat a certain part several times in order to check for bugs.

What's even more terrifying is that when testing the dialogue script of the role-playing game, Lu Ze needs to find all the NPCs in his area, even if it is a dog or a tree, and constantly talk to them in order to check whether there are any errors in the dialogue script. In the first two months, when he came home from a computer game, he didn't even want to touch the keyboard of the calculator.

However, according to the boss Xu Wenming, this is not the most painful, they were even worse when they first entered the industry, a group of old men tested children's games, every day on the screen are innocent pictures and childish dialogues, the first few weeks are barely persevering, but as time goes by, they feel more and more unbearable, as soon as they see the picture of children's games, they will have a feeling of pain, for them it is even more terrible than killing them. To this day, Xu Wenming occasionally has a shudder when he thinks about it, and he doesn't even know how he persevered in the first place.

Lu Ze can understand this feeling very well, just like the "Gourd Baby" he liked to watch when he was a child, if he wants to watch it now, it would be interesting to revisit it once or twice, but if you want to lock him in a hut and let him watch "Gourd Baby" from beginning to end ninety-nine eighty-one times, then in the end, it is estimated that his head will look at wood.

After a few months of game testing, Lu Ze is gradually getting used to it now, anyway, his education is not high, he does what he does, and now he is considered an office white-collar worker. It's just that I didn't expect that a test task for the "Legend" game was arranged recently, and they needed to check whether the bugs found in the beta test had been corrected, and whether there were any new bugs, this task was much more important than usual, and it was said that because "Legend" was going to be open on August 31, that is, it officially began to receive players, so before that, their group had to complete the test as quickly as possible.

In the words of the boss Xu Wenming, "What is overtime, this time you must have the consciousness of peeling the skin!"

So since the beginning of August, every day has been a non-stop test, map area check, dialogue script review, task flow check, item skill review, in short, in addition to eating and sleeping, Xu Wenming's group of game testers almost sat in front of the computer and clicked the mouse for the rest of the time. Seeing that it is getting closer and closer to August 20th, the hope in Lu Ze's heart is getting slimmer and slimmer, today is already the afternoon of the 18th, and it is obvious that it is impossible to complete the test task before the day after tomorrow, which means that his expectation of watching the game on the spot has been completely shattered.

Sighing in frustration, Luzer took a sip from his teacup, then put it down and began a new round of testing......

At 8:40 on August 19, there were 24 hours and 20 minutes before the official opening of the first WCG Finals, located outside the Beijing West Railway Station on Lianhuachi East Road, Fengtai District......

Ma Tianyuan, who had just arrived from Wuhan, looked at the slightly unfamiliar city outside the station, and there was a kind of expectation in his heart, and he couldn't wait to be able to show his skills in tomorrow's arena. It's not the first time he's been to Beijing, but he came back in a hurry last time, and after participating in the competition, he immediately set out on his way home because of something at home, and he didn't have time to get to know the city.

When he returned to Beijing this time, Ma Tianyuan's feeling was very different from the last time, and that time he was full of how to win a good ranking, and he didn't even have a taste until he left Beijing. But this time, his identity is different, in the past he was fighting on behalf of the individual, and today he has become a member of the WCG China team, just like the sports athletes who went to Sydney some time ago, his heart is full of pride.

Scanning his eyes on the square in front of the station, Ma Tianyuan noticed a WCG sign, which read: "Players participating in the WCG finals, please come here", and there was a big arrow pointing to the other side of the square. Following the direction pointed by the arrow, and passing through two street signs in the middle, Ma Tianyuan found a bus with an eye-catching WCG logo painted on its body.

There was a long-haired beauty wearing a professional skirt standing next to the bus, and when she saw Ma Tianyuan coming over, she immediately greeted her and asked, "Sir, are you participating in this WCG finals?"

The faint aroma and bright face made Ma Tianyuan's heartbeat speed up a little, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses: "Ah, I'm here to participate in WCG." ”

"Sir, please show your entry card!" the long-haired beauty smiled and held out her hand.

"Oh......" Ma Tianyuan's heartbeat sped up a few points, and a trace of blush appeared on his face, he quickly took a few deep breaths, and then took out his participation card from his backpack and handed it over.

The long-haired beauty took the participation card and looked at it, then returned the participation card to Ma Tianyuan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, you are welcome to participate in the WCG finals, please come with me." ”

Under the guidance of the long-haired beauty, Ma Tianyuan put away the luggage in a daze, and got on the bus in a daze, and when he remembered that he hadn't asked the other party's name, the long-haired beauty had already left the bus, he shook his head helplessly, and let out a long breath. At this time, a young voice came from the side: "Hello!"

Ma Tianyuan turned his head to look, it turned out to be a young man with a headset listening to music greeting him, looking a little familiar, so he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Ma Tianyuan, from Wuhan." ”

The young man took off the earphones, also stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "My name is Guo Bin and I am from Chongqing. ”

Everyone was the same age, and the two quickly chatted, and Ma Tianyuan knew that the player next to him, who was also a player in the "StarCraft" competition, no wonder he felt like he had seen it. According to Guo Bin, the train he took arrived earlier, almost 40 minutes ago, and there were only two people on the bus except for the WCG staff.

After two sentences of gossip, Guo Bin enthusiastically introduced the other people in the same car: "The two people sitting in the front are playing "FIFA2000", one is surnamed Yan, Yan of Hades, and the other is surnamed Lin, Shuangmulin, I heard that they came back from abroad...... The person sitting behind them is named Chen Di, and I heard that he is also a contestant of "FIFA2000...... The one surnamed Mo on the other side of the aisle is a player in "Three Kingdoms 3" and a real-time strategy game...... There is also the one surnamed Xu in front, he and the people next to him are on the same team, and they are playing "Special Warfare Heroes...... By the way, there's another StarCraft player behind us, would you like to say hi?"

Hearing that there were peers, Ma Tianyuan nodded, got up and looked behind, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance, Zhang Lei, a young man born in Chengdu.

"Master!" Ma Tianyuan exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect you to come too, but why didn't I see your ID on the leaderboard?"

"Pony," Zhang Lei smiled and nodded: "I didn't use Jeeps at that time, and I changed to an ID that I didn't use often, so you didn't notice." ”

"Oh, so that's ......" Ma Tianyuan said with a suddenly realized expression.

Because everyone is playing "StarCraft", the common hobby and similar age made the three quickly find a common language, and chatted enthusiastically, Zhang Lei talked about how the latest version 1.07 uses the characteristics of the Zerg to carry out fast attack, and Ma Tianyuan and Guo Bin exchanged how to play the weakened Terran more reasonably. The same is true for the other passengers on the bus, except for a few people, most of them gather together in twos and threes to chat.

When everyone was talking lively, the long-haired beauty came to the car again, stood next to the driver, silently counted the number of people, and then picked up a microphone and said in a sweet voice: "Hello everyone, welcome to Beijing to participate in the WCG finals, I am a staff member of the conference, called Ji Meilin." Do you have any friends who didn't get on the bus?"

Ji Meilin said while searching in the car with her eyes, waited for two minutes, and saw that everyone didn't say anything, she picked up the microphone again, smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go now." ”

After speaking, Ji Meilin turned her head and whispered to the driver, the driver nodded, quickly started the car, and drove outside. Ji Meilin held the metal pole in the car with one hand, held the microphone with the other, and continued to say in her sweet voice: "Let me introduce to you the arrangements for this WCG finals......"

The beautiful face, long flowing hair, and soft and sweet voice immediately attracted most of the eyes of everyone in the car, and they all showed concentrated expressions, but it is not easy to say how much of this is to listen to the arrangements for the WCG finals to be introduced by the beauties, anyway, at this time, many people only have Ji Meilin's figure left in their eyes.

Two hours later, many trains entered the Beijing West Railway Station, a young man from Harbin, Hong Zhefu, hurriedly walked out of the passenger exit, followed the signs on the square in front of the station, came to the other side of the square, and got on another bus with the WCG logo, there were also many people sitting on the bus, and there was also a long-haired beauty dressed the same as Ji Meilin standing next to the bus......

At about the same moment, at the Capital International Airport, a Korean Air flight from Seoul slowly landed on the runway, Park Taemin and the team members who came with them walked into the passenger passage with their respective luggage, and not far away, they saw two female receptionists wearing WCG overalls. Seeing the Korean team wearing uniform walking out of the passenger passage, two female receptionists immediately greeted them and greeted them in Korean, "Gentlemen, are you here for the WCG finals?"

Park Taemin smiled and nodded, and took the lead in handing over the badge hanging on his chest, and the other team members followed suit and handed over their badges.

After checking all the entry cards, the two female receptionists smiled and made an invitation gesture, and then one of them said: "Gentlemen, our competition organizing committee has arranged transportation to the hotel, please come with us to ......"

After the Korean delegation and the receptionists left, two other receptionists in WCG overalls walked over and stood in the same positions as the previous two, ready to wait for the next wave of visitors.

With the arrival of domestic participants and participants from all over the world, the Oriental Garden Hotel contracted by the WCG Organizing Committee has become lively, and the renovation work of the game museum and the square in front of the museum not far from the museum has also completed the finishing work, and the preparations are ready, just waiting for the moment when the WCG curtain officially opens tomorrow......
