Chapter 6: Dream Demon City Chapter 11 The Calamity Begins
"It was a little late yesterday. Don't ask for this chapter, well, it's a crowd of people, early in the morning.
The sales manager, who was leaning back on the sofa and dozing off, was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. He immediately sat up straight, quickly tidied up the tie that he had accidentally messed up before, sat upright, and calmly cast his gaze out of the door.
With a loud bang, the door was pushed open. The head of the development section, whose hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot, didn't say hello and just barged in. While walking in a hurry, he waved a thick stack of printing paper in his hand.
"Look! Look!! The head of the development section glared at the sales section manager who was sitting behind the desk seriously, and roared viciously: "We dispatched seven analysts, and it took ten hours to re-proofread all the monster numbers, and now the conclusion is out!" See for yourself! All the numbers are normal and there is no problem at all!! â
As I expected,
The scheming sales section manager secretly sighed, and his originally stern and unsmiling face was changed to a warm smile, and he hurriedly stood up and walked forward quickly to grab this rectal colleague, and said affectionately: "Hard work, hard work!" Are the members who worked overnight still there? Come on, go get a drink, I'm in for a treat."
In this way, the two section chiefs who were relieved and took their subordinates who worked overtime until the early hours of the morning to the izakaya near the company, which was open all night, and began to drink hazest. Because it was determined that there was no arsenic leakage in the so-called "Japanese-style monster" in the product, the two section leaders also relaxed and called on their subordinates to bond together.
It wasn't until 8 a.m. that the phone of the sales section manager rang.
"Section leader, the car arranged for you has arrived downstairs in the company, do you want to continue to wait for you or how to deal with it?" A cautious female voice.
The sales section manager was a little drunk, and his tongue was a lot bigger. The boss said unhappily: "Who! What is the arrangement of the car? â
The female voice of the "section leader" replied cautiously: "Didn't you make an appointment to arrange personnel to go to the product testing venue to check the specific matters yesterday?" The entourage is already in place, are you receiving customers? Then should we arrange for the entourage to go first?"
The head of the sales department then remembered that this file had indeed been arranged yesterday, and it was just in case the product was found to have an arsenic leak, and he would confirm it in time at the poison scene, which was equivalent to a double insurance at the existing stage. However, after getting confirmation from the head of the development section this morning, he put this matter behind him after the big stone in his heart landed.
"Oooh! I know, then you guys go on your own, I'll forget it" Ah, no, wait! â
The head of the sales department was about to casually refuse, but then he thought about it, since it had been arranged, it was better to go to the site and see the situation at the test site with his own eyes. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to kick out these malicious commercial spies out of the venue!
So, the two section chiefs called two basins of hot water, hurriedly washed their faces, sent a group of programmer subordinates who were also drunk back to sleep, and then went to the company to get a morning card for work, and followed the company dispatch truck that had been waiting for a long time to go to the nearest "Final Fantasy Old" test venue.
When they arrived at the venue, it was already about 9 o'clock in the morning.
Counting up, today is the fifth day of the Final Fantasy Old alpha test. According to the established test time, nine o'clock is when the test is officially launched. The two presidents thought that this test venue must be full of test machines, and the players were playing there with solemn faces.
But they were wrong.
The time was close to half past nine in the morning, but the three hundred players on the scene only arrived at less than two-thirds, and they were sparsely seated in the venue. The venue was a little sparse.
"Hey! What's going on? The head of the sales department was very unhappy, and casually greeted a few staff members who were sorting out the number of tables not far away, and said, "Why are there so few players today?" â
"Chief, I'm very sorry, it seems that yesterday's test situation made the players feel very unhappy, the players who came to the venue early in the morning a few days ago, and today they didn't come until nine o'clock," an on-site staff member hurriedly ran to the front and explained to the two class leaders. The head of the sales section was moved, and secretly said that he didn't leak the news last night, which made these commercial spies receive the news, so they didn't dare to come again today?
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw a player angrily push away the keyboard and stand up violently.
"No more playing! There's no way to play like this! What the hell are you doing? Is this Final Fantasy or a Hyakki's nocturnal walk!? â
The player got up, and the service lady in charge of the area on the side immediately rushed forward and comforted the player with a professional smile.
However, the player did not give up, broke free from the service lady, grabbed his backpack, and prepared to leave directly.
Seeing that the two section leaders showed puzzled looks, the on-site staff member who was in charge of accompanying them before hurriedly looked at the information roster in his hand, and then explained in a low voice: "Maeda Yongfu is a well-known player of the Final Fantasy series, and the final fantasy sites he established have several sites with an average of more than 10,000 visitors per day, and often publish relevant review articles on the Internet,"
"Has this guy also become a spy for the other party?" The sales section manager interrupted him impatiently, and then said, "Don't pay attention to him, let him leave if he wants to leave!" â
The on-site staff in charge of accompanying him showed a strange expression, and asked in confusion: "I'm sorry, "What do you mean by spy?" â
The sales section manager pointed to the player who had already shaken off the dissuasion and walked away directly, saying: "This guy is a Japanese-style monster when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth.,What is this game not Final Fantasy" In fact, everyone knows that there is no such thing as a Japanese-style monster in our game! Is he not a commercial spy sent by a competitor or what? â
The staff member was a little stunned, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"Do you have anything to say?" The head of the sales section asked with a frown.
"Ah, yes," the staff member hesitated and replied, "This" and "Japanese-style monster has appeared since the day before yesterday, and it's not something that doesn't exist in zĂ i."
"What?!"
The two section leaders exclaimed at the same time, looked at each other quickly, and did not wait for the staff to speak. Put him away. Qi Qi grabbed the well, and left angrily, and his heart was not on the seat.
The player left his seat angrily, picked up his backpack and left, just because he was in a hurry to leave, so his computer monitor was not turned off, and he didn't even have time to log out of his account. The player's character is still in the game world, but because no one controls it, the game character is still standing still in the game.
This player's character is an armored warrior, and the level is relatively high in this test. It has reached the appearance of a downgrade. I saw that this low-level armored warrior was standing still in a wilderness, and there were more than a dozen strange-shaped monsters standing densely around him.
These monsters are dressed in shabby cotton and linen Japanese-style long-sleeved robes, and the style of the clothes is similar to the style of the Heian period in ancient Japan.
Why does the poison make people intuitively think that these monsters are what they looked like in the ancient Heian period? That's because in the records of the ancient chronicles, the Heian period in Japan was a time when all kinds of demons were mixed in the world. It was the time when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital of Japan from Nara to Heiankyo, and because of the recent relocation of the capital, the foundation of all kinds of temples was not strong, and at the same time, it is said that a rejuvenating incense was left in Heiankyo, Japan, from the ancient Western Regions Otsuki clan, resulting in a chaotic period of coexistence of humans, ghosts and demons.
At this time, it was also the era when Japan's hundred ghosts and ten thousand demons were rampant and infested the world, and the hundred ghosts and demons lived together with humans, wantonly hunting humans as blood food, and the spiritual abilities of the human beings had to form a huge onmyoji to fight against it.
The hundred ghosts and demons of this period are in an absolutely strong place, so the characteristics are obvious. There are also great demons and humans who breed the descendants of half-humans and half-demons.
And most of the monsters surrounding the armored warriors in the game in front of me are the ones described in the mixed time of the Heian period, or hideous, or demonic. or fornication.
These youkai gathered around the armored warrior, seemingly extremely excited, bouncing and hopping. And the armored warrior just stood still because the player was gone, and let the group of monsters circle around him.
"This," what is this!!' The sales section manager pointed to the screen dumbfounded, turned his head to stare at the development section manager, who was also dumbfounded, and roared.
"I don't know! Where did these monsters come from!! The head of the development department was also about to collapse, he threw himself on the seat, grabbed the mouse, and quickly clicked on the monsters, recognizing the names of the monsters one by one.
"The roof collapsed, the smoke and smoke" Chiyan Guard, the head of the development section of the Dawn Proposal Office muttered the names of these strange monsters while the sweat on his forehead trickled down. "Bastard!! Didn't you say you didn't include these Japanese monsters in the game? What are these things!! The marketing section chief viciously grabbed the colleague who was still being led as a brother by himself just now, and shook desperately.
Before the head of the development department could answer him, another strange thing happened.
I saw the armored warriors who were surrounded by a group of Japanese-style monsters on the screen, because the head of the development section had grabbed the mouse and controlled it a few times before, and he also moved a few steps left and right when he was standing still on the spot.
It's better not to move, this move, something went wrong.
The group of Japanese-style monsters who had just been shuttling back and forth around the armored warriors just now, seeing that this opponent who had been standing still before began to move, they suddenly pounced on them as if they had been doping!
The head of the development section thought that the monsters had started to take the initiative to attack, and he didn't take it seriously, but who knew that after a closer look, he found that these monsters didn't attack the player character in the game at all, and their target was the equipment on the player character!
More than a dozen monsters swarmed up and pushed the armored warrior to the ground, and the monsters screamed excitedly, tearing at the armor warrior's bright light armor. The monster named Yatai Collapse has the appearance of a me. With white hair and a thick wooden stake in both hands, he saw its vicious blow slam on the back of the armored warrior's heart, and immediately took a bright picture of the armor warrior's back heart. The roof collapsed as if he had found a treasure, and the stake was gone, and he got out of the monster group with the goggles in his hands and fled.
The other monster named Akayan Guard was a red-faced monster with a huge head, which was about the same size as his body, and he was wearing a sauce-colored Japanese robe, but this guy seemed to be particularly interested in the Mithril helmet that the armored warrior in front of him was wearing. The Red Face Guard roared excitedly, relying on his huge red face, squeezed away the monsters around him, and a head hammer slammed into the face of the armored warrior, and immediately knocked the Mithril helmet on the armored warrior's head into the air.
I didn't know that the helmet was still flying in the air, and it was swept by a strange human-faced bird in the sky. The long beak thrust into his mouth, and quickly grabbed the helmet in the air, and his big wings flapped, and with a beautiful whirl, he flew into the distance.
The red-faced guard jumped like thunder, and took a step straight in the direction where the human-faced strange bird flew away.
And so, after a while, when the monsters were contented to disperse, only the armored warrior who had been recorded as only underwear was left on the ground, staring weakly at the sky.
"This" What the hell is going on!! The head of the development section was also on the verge of going violent, he broke free from the hand of the head of the sales section, turned around and grabbed the staff member standing aside, shook the other party desperately and shouted: "Sue me!" Where did these damn Heian period yokai come from! How can they still rob players of their gear?! â
"Section Chief! I,,I don't know, the staff was also frightened, but under the authority of the boss, he could only murmur in response: "The first two days were quite normal, and since the third day, players have reported that there are Japanese-style monsters around the city, and at first we thought it was something that was updated from the game version,"
"Yaga! Update?! The server for this test was set up on a local area network at the venue. We don't have any connection to the company's network, how can there be updates! The head of the development section was furious.
"Later,We didn't take it seriously.,Just appease the player to continue testing.,As a result, these Japanese-style monsters turned out to be more and more.,By yesterday afternoon,And the monsters began to slaughter the city's comparison.,And even began to take the initiative to besiege the player.,Like this, more than a dozen monsters are grouped together.,Surround the player.,If the player doesn't move, it's okay.,As long as you move,,All the equipment will be recorded,"
Hearing this, the head of the development section couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes went black, and he almost fainted.
