Chapter 254: A Real Game
At 8 p.m. on the 23rd, beta players around the world got their devices as early as the afternoon of the same day.
One percent of the beta testers are professional gamers selected by the Angel Group, and those who have stood out in other major games.
The beta numbers of these professional players are given away directly, and the equipment is also free to collect.
As for other players, they have to buy equipment honestly, because Angel Group integrates eight major game companies, and the channel is extremely wide, even in remote areas, you can quickly get equipment.
The number of registered users on the official website forum has reached more than 700,000, and the number of users in just two days is mainly due to the word-of-mouth of the eight major game companies.
More people said in the forum that this game is better than VR games at most, and it is definitely not the kind of holographic that everyone imagines.
After many internal testers got the equipment, they began to dry the equipment and complain about the equipment.
Because the equipment they bought for $500 was too far from what they imagined.
"Oh my God, this device is rudimentary, isn't it? An account password lock, an alarm clock setting...... Before the Apocalypse game started, it was an MP3! ”
"I suddenly don't have much hope for this game, there are no external joysticks, no consoles, you read this manual...... Lie flat on the bed with an eye patch on, and enter the world of Apocalypse when the game starts......"
"Haha! I feel like all of you who bought the equipment have been cheated! How do you play while lying in bed? Rolling? ”
The manual also says that after entering the game, the human body will be asleep, so be sure to keep the environment safe to avoid accidents. Laughing at me, this is a game in a dream? Won't I have to sleep anymore? Working during the day and playing games at night? ”
"It's a good thing I didn't buy it.,I heard that the game can be recorded.,It's going to start in a few minutes.,You beta testers remember to record a first-hand trial! We're all waiting in the forums! ”
“OK! I'll go in and record it for a few minutes, and then I'll exit and send it to you! ”
The forums are noisy, and among most of the players, the betalists have apparently become a kind of guinea pig, specially designed to test the poison for them.
Seeing that it was eight o'clock in two minutes, the beta testers in the forum disappeared immediately, and everyone knew that they must have gone to bed.
Nani is a Portuguese, temporarily residing in the United States, and a top streamer on YouTube.
He often reviews major games, trials or strategies, because of his exquisite operation and brain holes, he is very popular, and he can always play some unique tricks in some games with a high degree of freedom.
This time I was invited to be an internal tester.,The equipment is distributed for free.,He got a device of 10,000 dollars.,Unlike the cheaper.,It's a high-level device and it's said that there is also an early warning system.,It will alert the player after the player's reality is disturbed.,And you can recharge money in the game.。
Yes, top up money. However, this game recharge is not of great use, it is just about resurrection.
It was announced as early as the official website that even if it is an internal test, death in the game will not automatically resurrect, and there will be a five-minute state to be resurrected, and then choose whether to quit the game or spend money to buy a life.
The official explanation for this is that there is only one human life, and the resurrection will cost money to rebuild a role.
This setting is also a point that the forum is crazy about, thinking that it is a big way for game companies to make money, and it looks too ugly!
And there is another point, that is, after the resurrection, the previous characters are gone, and they basically have to start from scratch! Because the game setting is that earthlings use clones to fight in another world, and resurrection after the death of a body is equivalent to repossessing a new clone.
Unless you can find what you left before, or if you have stored the left things in the base before you die, then you know that you can still get the password back, except for the skill that disappears with death, the item item can still inherit the previous character.
Nani just smiled at this, and he was confident that he would be able to familiarize himself with the game and be the first to release the demo video when the time came.
Wearing an eye patch, not to mention, the $10,000 eye patch was very comfortable to wear on his face, and he was very relaxed lying on the big bed.
The device has been bound to an account, and there is a simple login screen in front of you.
Seeing the login screen, Nani felt a sigh of relief.
It's too simple, the resolution of the picture is average, and it's just ordinary.
"Isn't it just a little game that you wear on your face and operate with your eyes? Look at the background, it's quite Hongda......"
Nani pursed her lips and said with some disappointment, "Enter the game......"
It is clearly written on the instructions that the entry interface on the blindfold can be voice-controlled.
There are three major functions, enter the game, set the alarm clock, listen to the song......
It feels like an old game from the last century, and it makes people feel unnerved.
At eight o'clock, at the moment when Nani chose to enter the game, the nanomachine qì man moved, and he suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness and fell asleep peacefully.
His consciousness was still there, as if he was bungee jumping, and he sank suddenly, and a sense of weightlessness brought him to a small space.
"Where is this?" Nani was startled, and the surroundings were dim.
Suddenly, the sound of machinery running, and his eyes lit up, and he saw the outside world.
It turned out that he was in a small freezer, with a corridor outside.
The steel corridor was filled with freezers, and one person after another walked out of the warehouse, crowding the corridor.
"Am I amnesia?"
"I was still home just now! Where is this? ”
"I'm locked up?"
They were a little frightened by the sudden change in the unfamiliar environment, one second they were still lying in bed, and the next second they were locked in an iron house, which was terrifying.
Nani panicked for a moment, then suddenly calmed down.
Because he found the recording device, there is a small device embedded in his temple, which is the real-time recording device of the game introduced on the official website, and it only takes one click to start recording.
Nani, as a top anchor, immediately chose to start recording.
At the same time, someone in the panicked crowd reacted and shouted: "Everyone has a recording device on their heads, we are in a game!" ”
"Really! Is this the game? ”
"That's too true, isn't it?"
The crowd gradually calmed down, and when they knew that it was a game, they became less panicked and began to marvel at the realism of the game.
"The touch is real...... I can even feel my own heartbeat......"
"Let's get out of here! This corridor is so oppressive! ”
Many people couldn't stand the feeling of being crowded in the steel corridor and ran towards the gate at the end of the corridor.
Nani sneered and said, "This is really a bad taste of the system, it scares us at the beginning, and the design of this place is really depressing." ”
He explained softly, after all, he was used to the video.
A large crowd of about two hundred, pushed open the door at the end of the corridor and ran out one after another.
Outside, men and women dressed like them stood in an open field, and many doors were opened on all sides, and waves of people gathered here.
Towering steel buildings, fresh air, and bright sunshine.
The white clouds fluttered in the sky, floating naturally.
Countless people stupidly felt the reality of the game, and some people touched the earth, as if they didn't believe it, and suddenly began to dig with their hands, and they had already dug two feet deep.
Others are feeling all kinds of things with their tongues, tasting plants or licking steel, sniffing clothes like a pervert.
Nani also couldn't believe it, and kept describing her feelings, real! It's frighteningly real.
"The senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound are perfect...... Is this really a game? People sighed.
Suddenly, Nani noticed that a young man was even crying, crying and screaming excitedly, running around, bouncing and jumping like a madman.
Nani laughed, "yes, yes, we're excited, the perfect holographic reality game is amazing, but you're not going crazy, are you?" ”
The young man heard Nani's words and said excitedly, "What do you know? I...... My legs are healed! ”
"What?" Nani didn't know why, but after listening to the explanation, she understood, and then froze.
In reality, the young man was paralyzed in both legs and stayed at home every day to play games, but now in the game "Apocalypse", he has a healthy body again!
This is the North American exploration base, and all the people present are registered as players in the North American region, a total of 20,000.
Because of the realism of the game and the lack of any assistance system, they were very noisy for a while.
Until a man in a handsome combat uniform, armed with a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, pushed open the door of a closed building and walked out.
"Everyone! Welcome to the North American Discovery Base, the World of the Apocalypse. You, as explorers sent from Earth, will be here to explore on behalf of your respective nations. I am your base chief, Feige, and it is my duty to guide you...... It's a dangerous world, and ...... here"
This is an NPC, and when they hear him talking, everyone quiets down and listens attentively to his introduction.
Feige is a blood clan, in his dream he has the strength of three generations of blood in reality, and at the same time, he also has the vast majority of the authority of the base, and is the NPC with the highest authority in the North American base.
In other words, he is the head of the novice village......
Fig gave them an overview of the world, which is also available on the official website. However, he also elaborated on the terrain and monster divisions near the base, which are extremely dangerous.
“…… Your duty is to open up a larger living space for future earthlings, and contribute food, intelligence, and materials to the base...... And so on you can get merit, no matter what status you have on earth, here, I only look at merit! If you want to have it, you have to pay, there are many dangers outside, once you step out of the gate of the base, life and death are all up to you. ”
"Go ahead, there are equipment for you in the weapons warehouse, and they will help you stay alive."
With that, Feige returned to the central building, but the door was still open, as if he could enter at any moment.
The players in the square looked at each other, and there were smart pro gamers who had realized that this was a mission! They rushed to the weapons warehouse to collect their equipment.
Nani naturally understood, in short, this is a game with a high degree of freedom, allowing players to explore outside the base, and the qiē obtained from exploration can be contributed to the base, in exchange for living materials and better weapons, and even skills.
Outside is an infinitely vast other world, full of infinite dangers, stepping out of the gate of the base, life and death are rich and noble!
