Chapter 7: The Open Beta Begins
"Why are you looking at me like this, what are the results of your investigation for a long time?" Zhou Kexin was furious by what she saw, and hurriedly pulled out the topic to divert his attention. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's a strange thing, and I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't brought it up. I inquired about the case two years ago with friends in the hacker circle at home and abroad, and asked them to help collect relevant information, and found that the matter was indeed not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Not only have various countries reported this seemingly ordinary 'pyramid scheme', but the level of secrecy of the relevant documents is quite high. Some hackers obtained this part of the documents of some countries through special means, but the above language is vague and there is no direct conclusion, but it is only roughly said that a few so-called 'consciousness testers' of that organization at that time were confiscated by various countries. It has been studied that it has a high level of technology, and some of them have even surpassed the level of contemporary technology, but there is no relevant report on whether it can test the so-called consciousness. Also, it is difficult to verify that the logo of the organization Li Yufan said is the same as that of Tianwai, because when that organization appeared, it did not put out the icon of their organization anywhere on the scene, and I don't know how he came to this conclusion. Shen Qiutong didn't sell it, and told Zhou Kexin the truth about his investigation.
Does that prove that there is no connection between the two? Is the so-called 'consciousness immersive virtual reality' just a lie? Zhou Kexin listened a little confused, and asked directly.
"I can't say that entirely, I checked this company by the way, this is a low-key company that almost no one knows, and the game "Beyond Unreal" has not been promoted in any way, but its strength is really not to be underestimated. I asked a friend abroad to check it and found that there are also corresponding sales points abroad, and like in China, they only sell a virtual helmet and a virtual game warehouse, and the price is expensive. In other words, this little-known game may be launched simultaneously in multiple countries or even around the world, and if that is the case, it would be terrible, and there may be some unknown insiders hidden in it. Shen Qiutong guessed.
"So what do you say we should do, if Beyond Unreal is real, it will definitely have a strong impact on people's perceptions, and then the traditional visual immersion game will definitely plummet, but if it is fake, we will definitely lose all our money when we invest in it, which is really a dilemma." After listening to Shen Qiutong's analysis, Zhou Kexin became more and more undecided.
"Don't worry, we still have a few days, but if we decide to move into Beyond Unreal, will we have enough money?" Shen Qiutong calmly analyzed.
"We still have about 500,000 yuan in finance, which is just enough to buy seven helmets worth 66,000, and we have to sell the current equipment to get enough initial start-up capital. And if we need to set aside time to prepare, we'll have to make up our minds the day after tomorrow at the latest. Zhou Kexin replied thoughtfully.
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself too much, it's getting late, it's not too late to think about it tomorrow, and if you don't sleep again, you'll have dark circles under your eyes." Shen Qiutong comforted.
Tonight will be a sleepless night for many people.
Time flies, and September 10 arrived as promised in the expectation of many people.
Li Yufan moved into Villa No. 6 two days ago, and when he left, he gained tons of envy and hatred from Jiang Fei. In the past two days, there have been all kinds of troubles and embarrassments with the girls, and it seems that it will take a while to get along happily.
Zhou Kexin and Shen Qiutong discussed for a few days, and finally decided to take a gamble, sold the equipment and materials of several "Martial Arts World" in their hands, and urgently purchased the game equipment of "Beyond Unreal". During the purchase process, Tianwai Company's strict identity verification of the purchasers gave them some comfort and confidence, whether it was online shopping or going to physical stores, they were strictly reviewed, and because of the limited quantity, Tianwai Company also stipulated that it would not accept more than 10 group orders. Whether they showed them or really followed the rules, in short, it eased the hearts of the girls a little.
When Zhou Kexin and the others first proposed this plan, everyone was startled, and they didn't understand the eldest sister's mind at all, but there was no way, the studio was decided by the eldest sister and the think tank Shen Qiutong, so they had to pinch their noses and follow. But everyone's mood is the same at this time, nervous, very nervous. Especially Zhou Kexin, as the eldest sister and the person in charge, if she makes a wrong bet this time, not only will all the investment be wasted, but her prestige among the sisters will also be seriously frustrated, so she is even more nervous.
The game's open beta time is two o'clock in the afternoon, and after lunch, everyone gathers in the work hall with their equipment, which is a room dedicated to work, with a lot of sofa loungers and single beds, and a lot of space. Everyone chose a comfortable position and sat down, silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Zhou Kexin clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Okay, I know everyone is worried, but it's useless for us to worry about it now." You have to think on the bright side, if we bet right, it is a lot of people who are ahead of the curve all of a sudden, and we will be the first group of people to take advantage of the opportunity. Let's get ready, the time is coming soon, I don't know what will happen in the game, everyone try to choose a safe position. ”
At the same time, Li Yufan was already lying on the big bed in the room, staring at the clock tightly. When the clock was pointing to two o'clock, he gently pressed the button on the bracer, and the countdown number "3,2,1,0" appeared on the bracer screen, Li Yufan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then an electronic synthesized sound sounded in his ears.
"When an organism is detected entering the game for the first time, the individual will be scanned to generate data."
"This scan will take 15 minutes, please be patient and the scan will start"
。。。。。。
"After the scanning, the game characters will be generated based on the scan data, and they will be randomly generated with the same appearance to protect privacy."
"It takes 15 minutes to generate the game's characters, so please be patient"
。。。。。。
"The game character is generated, and consciousness will be released, 5,4,3,2,1"
Li Yufan only felt that a white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he found that he was already in a small room, the room was only less than ten square meters, empty, there was a strange small vending machine-like machine in the corner, and two side-by-side door-shaped lights and shadows on one wall flashed with white light, one door said "Enter the game", and the other said "Exit the game".
Li Yufan didn't bother to come forward to check, but first carefully checked his body. He raised his hands in front of his eyes and looked at it over and over, touched and touched, it was completely the texture of flesh and blood, soft, warm, pinched hard, the pain was clear and real. He tried to swing his fist a few times, full of power, and jumped a few more times, but he didn't feel any lag or incongruity, which was exactly the same feeling as in reality, making people not feel like he was in a game at all.
Li Yufan tried to close his eyes and sense, and found that there were some more game options in his mind: attributes, skills, backpacks, equipment, titles, and so on.
He tried to call out the property options, and a projection frame appeared in front of him.
[Character Name: TBD]

[EXP: 0/500]

[Spirit: 20 (+10)]
[Resistance: Fire Resistance 1, Freezing Resistance 1, Lightning Resistance 1, Poison Resistance 1, Spirit Resistance 3, Radiation Resistance 1, Other Resistance 1]
Li Yufan thought for a while, clicked on the character name column, and silently recited a few words, and the word "undecided" turned into "Yuhua Chengfan", which was also the name he used in one of the few other games he played.
He tried to call out the two options for the skill backpack, and it was empty, nothing. He tried to pull out his gear again, and a projection frame of a classic game character appeared, mostly empty, except for a wrist guard and a wooden stick on his right hand.
He looked at his left wrist, and the wrist ornament in reality appeared out of nothing, he clicked curiously, and the attributes of the wrist ornament jumped out.
[Name: Broken Storage Bracer (Sealed)]
[Space: 1 cubic meter]
[Grade: None]
[Characteristic: Indestructible]
[Evaluation: You can't find any other words to describe it except incredible]
As for the broken wooden stick in his right hand, as soon as his heart moved, he appeared in his hand, and after looking at the attributes, he couldn't look at it directly.
[Name: Worn-out wooden stick]
[Grade: Gray]
[Attack: 1-2]
[Durability: 10/10]
Li Yufan looked up and down again, and found that there was nothing else, so he walked to the strange machine in the corner.
No matter how you look at this machine, it's a vending machine.,It's just that there's a variety of things in it.,It's weird.,It's obviously too big to fit in it.,And the currency needed is not the currency in real circulation.,It should be game currency.。 Li Yufan didn't have a dime on hand, and he could only get by.
In addition, there was nothing else in the room, Li Yufan decided to go to a more exciting game world as soon as possible to find out, I don't know what kind of world is waiting for him to explore?
With excitement and apprehension and inexplicable excitement, his figure gradually disappeared into the light gate.
And at this moment, the girls in the villa also have some problems.
