Chapter 7: Open Beta, Yangzhou

After checking out, seeing that Xia Xin had swiped the card and spent 6,800 yuan without even blinking an eyelid, Lin Ran suddenly felt that Xia Xin's nickname as a rich woman was really well deserved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the meal, the atmosphere was quite good, and Han Yiyi had been changing his tricks to test some of his situation during the banquet.

Lin Ran knew that for a roommate who had only known each other for a day, these girls were still a little uneasy, hoping to know more about themselves, this meal was not only a welcome newcomer, but also a kind of temptation and understanding of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran can also understand their concerns, and he will answer all questions, so he almost told them about his bedwetting in junior high school.

There was no wine at the meal, and when the meal was full, several people went home together.

In fact, Lin Ran felt that the food in the so-called five-star hotel was not particularly delicious, and the only effect of this meal was to make him familiar with these girls.

When Lin Ran was moving things for these Xia Xin, he knew that they had already purchased game helmets, and now they were waiting for the 10th game to start the public beta.

I remember that Lin Ran had been living here for the previous year, although occasionally the landlord would come to collect the rent, which brought a little ripple to his peaceful life. However, his life has always been as calm and leisurely as a lake.

Suddenly, a girl also appeared in this house, this living room, in his life.

Then, a group of girls followed.

Lin Ran doesn't believe in fate, but sometimes he sighs at the wonder and incredibleness of fate.

Before Lin Ran got up in the morning, he heard the sound of chattering and laughter in the living room, and when he walked out of the room, Xia Xin warmly beckoned him to come over for breakfast.

Busy figures kept flashing in the kitchen, Lin Ran took a closer look, it was Zhao Ying who was cooking, put his mind at ease, and began to eat the eggs and bread on the table.

"It's delicious." Lin Ran originally thought that Xue Min's roommate's cooking skills should not be much better than her, but he didn't expect that this breakfast tasted surprisingly delicious.

Han Yiyi said with a smile: "Of course, our classmate Zhao Ying is a decathlon master, astronomy and geography, I Ching gossip, food and tourism, all of them are all proficient." ”

Zhao Ying happened to come over with a plate of steamed buns, put a plate of steamed buns in front of Han Yiyi, stuffed the steamed buns into Han Yiyi's mouth with a smile, and said, "Early in the morning, my mouth is very sweet, come, I will reward you with a steamed bun." ”

Xue Min just got up, his hair was still a little unkempt, so he brushed it with his hand casually, picked up a glass of milk on the table and drank it all.

"The day after tomorrow, the open beta of "Journey to the Empire" will begin." After Xue Min and the others finished breakfast, they went straight to the topic.

"As the first game we've been making since the studio was founded, we've got to make a difference. It's also a big opportunity for our studio. Now for a meeting, let's discuss how we should proceed. Xue Min said impassionedly.

"Before the Open Beta, it was important to have more knowledge of the game's content and secrets. However, we don't know much about the game right now, and we don't know what it looks like. This time, Huanyu did a very good job of secrecy, and I failed to invade twice in a row. Now the only information we have in our hands is the promotional video on its official website. Zhao Ying pushed the eyes on the bridge of her nose, and Zhao Ying, who became serious, was particularly eye-catching.

Only then did Lin Ran know that this beautiful and well-behaved girl was not only a top student majoring in computer science at Xihang University, but also a well-known hacker master on the Internet.

Xue Min thought for a moment and said, "Since even Yingying and you can't successfully invade, then I believe that others are no better." In this way, everyone is on the same starting line, and whether they can develop or not depends on their own ability. ”

"I think when we get into the game, we should get together and that adds a lot of advantages." Zhao Ying said.

"In China, as a result of the online referendum, China chose the Three Kingdoms era, where the country was divided into thirteen states, and any one state could be born. We can choose to be born in the same state so that we can unite later. ”

In "Imperial Expedition", the historical background of each country is voted by netizens from all countries, and in China, the first place in the number of votes is the Three Kingdoms era, which is full of heroes.

"OK, what do you think is the better state?" Xue Min asked.

"Luoyang is prosperous and wealthy, and there are many famous historical generals." Han Yiyi said.

Zhao Ying retorted: "Luoyang is indeed rich, but it is also chaotic, when Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the court, it was enough for us to eat a pot, not to mention that there are eighteen princes to attack Dong in the back, it is too unsafe." ”

"Xiliang, the people are fierce, the soldiers are brave, and they can form a powerful cavalry unit."

Xia Xin's proposal was also rejected, and although Xiliang had many warriors, it was difficult to develop a large-scale army.

"Yangzhou." Lin Ran said: "Yangzhou's land is fertile, which is conducive to development and recruitment. The early game is also particularly safe, with only a small group of Yellow Turbans attacking. Moreover, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and it can also develop shipping and warships. ”

Several people discussed for a while, and finally decided to be born in Yangzhou.

Xue Min finally said: "Okay, let's finally talk about one more question, the first few days of the game are the most important time, we have to prepare for the war, try not to go out, and don't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries!" ”

This is the first time Lin Ran has seen this studio so professional in the past few days, and he is very skilled and detailed in assigning tasks and everything, it seems that he really underestimated this group of girls before.

Limited to the fact that he has too little information about the game, Xue Min can only make these arrangements, and the rest is to slowly wait for the day of the game's open beta to show his edge.

The two days passed quickly, eating, drinking, and playing, and on the afternoon of the 10th, Xue Min hugged everyone and shouted cheers. Of course, Lin Ran didn't have the treatment of hugging, and only got Xue Min a snort look.

Somewhat excitedly debugged the computer, put on the game helmet, and Lin Ran entered the game interface of "Journey to the Empire".

At this point, the game interface is blank, and there is only one line of numbers in the center, which is the countdown to the start of the game's open beta.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

......

Zero.

The game interface was full of light, and a burst of dazzling white light made Lin Ran subconsciously turn his head to dodge.

"Hello, dear players, please choose your name for the journey of Empire."

A melodious and pleasant female voice sounded in Lin Ran's ears, and Lin Ran looked up, only to see that there was a void around him, and the fog was rising.

"Childe Xiaobai."

Lin Ran said casually.

"Please select your birth state."

A huge map suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ran, which contained the territory of the Great Han Dynasty in the thirteen states.

Lin Ran chose Yangzhou without hesitation.

"Pupil locked."

"Genetic analysis was successful."

"Character creation."

"The character has been created."

With the prompts of the female voice, the surrounding void became dazzling again, Lin Ran closed his eyes, and after a while, a solid feeling came from under his feet.

This was Lin Ran's first feeling when he stepped into this new world.
