In the quiet room, two big boys each held a mobile phone, looking at something seriously.

After a while, Jiang Shang put down his phone, frowned slightly, and looked at his friend:

"Akai."

"What for?"

"Have you ever heard of an open beta that opens up to 100,000 registrations?"

"It's the first time I'll see you, and I still have to sign up for a random selection."

“……”

Jiang Shang took a deep breath, and couldn't bear not to burst out of the foul language, but in the end he complained unhappily:

"The official has a hole in his brain, right? 100,000 people? That's it? What about the water? What's the difference between it and the closed beta?! ”

"Is that how the closed beta is done?"

"yes......"

“……”

Silent.

"Do you still sign up? I see that the netizens on the official website forum have torn up, and the officials have been scolded miserably......"

"Report! Why didn't you report it? You look at the number of instant registrations. ”

"I'll take it, it's 100,000? It's only been a few minutes since this announcement was made, right? Hiss...... It's going up so fast...... Is this the true fragrance of the legend? ”

Akai looked amazed.

And Jiang Shang sighed:

"The quality of the game is high, so you can do whatever you want...... Maybe it's because of the quality of the game that the number of people is limited......"

"You call this brainless blowing."

"No, I call it self-hypnosis."

Jiang Shang chatted with his friends while registering for the fifth time.

And after the two signed up, they continued to look at the public beta announcements on the forum.

"But then again, I think this fee model is a bit mysterious, membership? Redeem 20% discount on the mall? And the price of a one-month membership is not low...... It's not a forced purchase, but will anyone really buy it? ”

Akai looked at the charging instructions in the open beta and said strangely.

"How not? Akai, if you knew where the best popular gear and best popular items in the game came from, you wouldn't be able to say that. ”

Jiang Shang shook his head and explained.

"How?"

Akai was curious.

Jiang Shang pondered for a moment and said:

"In the elven realm, although some specific bosses will drop extremely rare items, for most players, the equipment used and the skills learned are still mainly from the mall, and everything in the mall is to be purchased with contributions."

"In the game, the contribution is the hard currency between players, and the discount is 20% off...... It's already attractive. ”

Listening to Jiang Shang's words, Akai was slightly surprised:

"I see."

However, after thinking for a while, he shook his head:

"Still, I think it's too arbitrary, right? With hundreds of thousands of players, can they get back to their roots? And...... I read that there are players who complain under the comments and say that this game seems to be able to brush the price of the mall to 25% by itself. ”

"That's based on personal prestige evaluation and goddess favorability."

Jiang Shang said.

"Personal reputation evaluation is very difficult to improve, and it has to do with NPC favorability. As far as I know...... Among the more than 60,000 people in this game, there are no more than 100 people with a score of 70 or more on the personal reputation list, and there are only two or three full scores, which is still the kind of ...... that licks NPCs every day."

"As for the favorability of the goddess, hehe, it's even more difficult to brush, and it seems that the highest is only 1 point now, and it's still a task."

"I've seen the relevant statistics, it seems that Li Mu has the highest discount in the mall now, and his discount seems to be almost five percent off, but most players who have a good relationship with NPCs are still stuck at seven or eight percent off."

"So...... The mall is still very attractive to everyone. ”

"Of course, that's not the most critical thing."

"You see, it is also mentioned here that the exchange of some special items will open more quotas to members, No, it is this resurrection coin, ordinary players can exchange up to 10 pieces a day, but members can exchange 15 pieces!"

"Akai, you don't know, in this game, the most serious punishment is the resurrection punishment, and the resurrection coins will be deducted."

"And that's not all. As the level increases, more and more resurrection coins will be deducted for each death, and if there are not enough resurrection coins, you will even be downgraded! In the case of silver, it can be said that it will be doubled in the future, which can be said to be quite severe. ”

"All resurrection coins are hard-won, either liver or krypton, and they have to be accumulated every day in case of emergency. So...... This alone can be exchanged for an additional 5 pieces per day, which is enough to make many people rush to it......"

"That's ......"

Akai nodded as if he didn't understand.

And Jiang Shang continued:

"As for the earnings...... I don't think it will be possible to return to the cost in the short term, but you must know that this game has only just started the open beta. ”

As he spoke, he pushed his glasses:

"The price of this membership is not low, but those who can afford the stealth cabin are not poor at home. Think about it, if the number of people in the game exceeds 10 million...... Then the income will definitely be different. ”

Akai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement:

"Makes sense."

"But ......"

Jiang Shang's words changed:

"I'd love to complain about the resurrection system...... Although it seems that buying a member can reduce the resurrection penalty, in my opinion, there is no difference between 10 resurrection coins and 15 resurrection coins. ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Akai wondered.

Jiang Shang sighed and said:

"What if, just what if...... You're playing a game, and if you resurrect it once, you have to spend 300 dollars, will you pay attention to saving your life? ”

"That's not nonsense! Isn't it fragrant for me to have a big meal for 300 yuan! ”

"And what if the resurrection cost is now two hundred pieces?"

"Wipe ...... Although it's a hundred yuan cheaper, it's still distressing to think about it, and I must save my life......"

"That's it......"

Jiang Shang sighed:

"The current resurrection mechanism of "Elf Country", players can't afford it, but who wants to lose so much for no reason, and even if the members have discounts, they still haven't jumped out of the category that makes people feel heartache, it can only be said that the official is toxic, as if the players were deliberately asked not to die......"

"Of course...... Even if you know that there is not much difference, many people will definitely buy it. ”

Listening to his friend's words, Akai raised his eyebrows:

"If it were you, would you be a member?"

Jiang Shang nodded and said seriously:

"Of course it will, although I really want to complain about this fee system and the public beta quota of the cheat father, but if I win, I will definitely support it, after all...... Such a great game, you can't chill the heart of the maker, you should know how the original single-player games of the Celestial Empire declined in the past...... It's not easy to be an original. ”

Akai thought so.

"But ......"

Jiang Shangfeng turned around again and pointed to a certain article in the announcement:

"What I'm more curious about is this new addition to the event, the addition of a new weekly leaderboard. In the second week, additional rewards will be distributed based on the player's weekly ranking in the game in the previous week, and the rewards will even include cash ......"

As he spoke, Jiang Shang sighed slightly:

"How dare the official...... The money hasn't been made yet, so I'm thinking about how to give back to the players, and the money is directly ...... It's also not good. I can almost foresee that "Elven Country" is about to explode with a large number of liver emperors and professional players again......"

"Again? Did you have it during the closed beta? ”

"Yes, the contribution degree can be traded, and during the internal test, there were many people who made extra money by selling the contribution degree, but now that the official shot, players are estimated to be absolutely boiling."

"In that case, the world tree black technology company is quite conscientious."

"yes...... I really like the company now. ”

"The conscience is even a little brainless."

“……”

Jiang Shang glared at someone.

And someone whistled and looked away.

The two chatted without saying a word, while continuing to browse the open beta announcement.

Of course, as potential tool people, they naturally don't know about this very weird-looking fee and reward system, but a certain true god is turning his left hand into his right hand, blocking the mouth of public opinion in disguise and attracting the little leeks......

There is a lot of content in the announcement, and there are some others besides the fee, such as the opening of a new map and the preview of a new plot, etc., and the accompanying pictures are elves and orcs at war.

Ah Kai saw these things in a fog, but Jiang Shang was relishing.

"It seems...... The next plot is finally going to do it to the orcs.,I don't know if I'll have a chance to join it.。 ”

His expression was full of anticipation.

"Plot?"

"Well, the plot, I've been following the plot of "Elf Country", you look at this opening animation released in advance...... See? One of the elves that appear here is one, but they are actually all players! Ay...... Before you know it, everyone has developed such a big force in the game, and every time I look at the opening animation of each version from the beginning, I feel embarrassed......"

"So six? Isn't that a sense of participation? ”

"So...... Why do you think there have been so many 'World Tree players' online since last year? It's the sense of participation that makes everyone condense into a rope. ”

"Agreed, there is even a trend of blackening, devaluing other games to worthless."

“……”

Jiang Shang glared at someone again.

And someone was whistling again, looking away.

A happy day for a pair of friends passed quickly.

Although the two are not high school students, they are also freshmen dogs with full courses, and they have not yet degenerated into old fritters, and they are okay on weekends, and they will still go to class honestly the next day......

However, when they went back to the forum the next day, they found that the number of open beta registrations had broken five million like a rocket, and it was still soaring.

There is no objection that with the announcement of the open beta of "Elf Country", this virtual game, which is regarded as a cross-era masterpiece by many game enthusiasts, has once again become a hot search and headline.

It can be said that for everyone who knows about virtual games, almost no one is unaware of it.

Even people outside the circle have more or less heard its name.

Even in the slightly silent book world recently, the number of searches for a certain model worker has faintly increased because of this......

Ahem.

It is foreseeable that with the open beta, the number of registrations this time will definitely not be less than the last internal test.

And this also made Jiang Shang, who originally thought that there were 100,000 places in the open beta and that he might have a better chance, felt more and more depressed.

No way, he knew that his luck had never been good.

The more people who sign up, the smaller his chances.

Although as a fan of Elven Realm, he was happy to see that the game was loved by everyone, but ...... You'll have to let yourself go in first, right?

However, the ordeal did not last long.

This time, he was finally chosen.
