Chapter 100: The Impact of Large-scale Closed Beta
In the third year, Mu You began to try to abandon those thoughts of quick success, and really put his mind on the study of potions, reopened the first notebook, and started from the beginning.
This time, he no longer pursues progress, no more useless time calculations, no longer binds himself to a seven-year time frame.
He figured out that what he really needed was to learn Potions, not to complete the homework that Vivien had assigned, so what about more than seven years? Anyway, he has an infinite amount of time, and when he finishes learning, he can finish.
Mu You no longer tortures himself, when he wants to rest, he closes his eyes and rests, and when he rests enough, he gets up and continues to read.
And when he no longer regarded reading as a task, but wanted to learn from the bottom of his heart, he finally began to gradually feel the joy of potions, slowly immersed in it, and even couldn't extricate himself for a while.
Since then, he has maintained this intellectual mentality, and it is only now, in the seventeenth year, that he has finally finished reading the first seven notes.
Mu You stroked the seven notebooks, exhaled, stood up, and the enchantment was automatically lifted.
He chose to stop, of course, not because he had completed the task and didn't want to continue, but because he knew that seventeen years had passed, and his mental fatigue had accumulated to an extreme, and if he continued, his efficiency would only decrease sharply, and there was no need to deliberately torture himself.
Reaching out to take the flying playing cards, put them away, Mu You turned his head to look at the canary on the grass on the side.
"You seem to have changed a lot." Vivien glanced up at him.
At this time, Mu You's appearance has not changed much compared to seventeen years ago, but his eyes have become calm as water, and his temperament is much more restrained.
Mu You smiled and didn't answer.
Yes, he has changed, his mind has become calm, his heart has become resolute, and he has exercised full patience.
But more importantly, his vision has changed! He no longer sits in a well and watches the sky, no longer sees himself as a small person, he knows what he really needs to pursue, and he also understands the scenery that Vivien's top potions masters see, and he will reach the same height as her, or even surpass it, sooner or later.
He looked forward to that day, but he didn't rush for quick success.
In the past 17 years, the growth of mentality may be more important than the knowledge gained.
"Not bad."
Vivian looked at his eyes and gave a rare compliment, which made Mu You a little stunned.
You must know that in the past seventeen years, Vivian has never praised him, but has all kinds of poisonous tongues and ridicules every day, and the few words that Mu You hears the most are 'stupid', 'too stupid', 'learning XXX is so slow', 'It's not a shame', 'I've never seen such a stupid student as you', 'Don't tell others that you are my apprentice when you go out in the future' and so on.
Mu Youting's ears were about to become calloused, and he was quite hit at first, but later he had been tempered to complete immunity, and his left ear went in and out of his right ear.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the schoolwork, Vivien did not have any poisonous words about his 'it took seventeen years to read seven books', but praised him, and there seemed to be a kind of ...... in his tone Gratified?
"Today's schoolwork is done, and you can rest." Vivien changed the subject.
"Rest?"
Mu You was a little funny and a little ashamed.
To be honest, he is not tired at all now, because in the enchantment, he has enough sleep time, and nearly half of the seventeen years he has spent in laziness and sloppiness, otherwise it would not have taken seventeen years so long.
On the contrary, Vivien, because she was not affected by time rewinding, accompanied him through the complete seventeen years, during which she had been silently helping him time, and when the time came, she used magic to help him press the pocket watch outside the enchantment, and she was the one who never rested from beginning to end.
After the schoolwork was completed, Mu You lay down on the grass, and there was nothing else to do for a while, so he simply took out his mobile phone, and "The Fool" was launched.
The game is online, and it is still in the home of the old man who is farming.
At this time, it was only five o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet time for breakfast.
After going online, Mu You first took out the three new secret cards he had just obtained from the meeting: Dark Teleportation, Light of Veto, and Summoning Zombies.
They were engraved in crystals one after another, replacing the original three secret techniques.
He then decisively used a dark teleportation in the grass.
[You have set up the dark teleportation array, and after arranging the same formation in other areas of the same plane, you can establish a connection and teleport to each other. Currently has a teleportation node: Grass House at the foot of the Misty Mountain. 】
Mu You paid attention to the crystal, the consumption of this formation was very small, and one-tenth of the natural magic power was not used.
This will be easy to do, he plans to go back and set up a teleportation array on the dwarven blacksmith's side, as well as in the cabin in Anning Village, so that it will be much easier to return later.
After building the magic circle, Mu You didn't leave in a hurry, but clicked on the grandmother's text and typed 'wine barrel' in the input box.
[You said you needed a barrel, and the old farmer asked you to look for it in the basement, where there were a lot of discarded empty barrels. 】
[You go to the basement and find a large empty wooden barrel with some deterioration of distiller's grains left. 】
[You take the barrel to the well in the courtyard of the cottage, clean it, and fill it with water. 】
[You have obtained a 'Barrel Full of Well Water'. 】
After some manipulation, Mu You clicked on the barrel text.
A fat wooden barrel more than one meter high appeared in front of him, and Mu You opened the wooden stopper on the top of the barrel to see that it was indeed full of well water.
This barrel was specially prepared for the drunken blacksmith, because he needed to find a blacksmith to help him build a backpack and weapons.
However, the wine on the earth cannot be stored directly in the game, so you can only rely on well water mixed with wine to get stuck bugs.
Mu You immediately went out, ran to a nearby supermarket, found an import counter, and bought a box of vodka with a degree of up to 96 degrees, known as 'water of life'.
Later, he returned home and began to exchange wine.
Half a bucket of well water + a small half bucket of vodka = well water mixed with an unknown liquid.
The wine was so strong that even after dilution, it was forty or fifty degrees, and after the blending was completed, Mu You scooped a spoonful and tasted it.
“emmm……”
It can only be said that the taste is very strange, anyway, Mu You didn't taste the aroma of the wine, but felt spicy and choking, with a bitter taste of water, and I don't know if the drunkard dwarf will like this tune......
"No matter, try it and talk about ......"
Mu You sealed the barrel and sent it into the game.
[You have obtained 'a bucket of well water mixed with an unknown liquid'. 】
"You ride on a donkey and set off to the foot of the South Mountain. On the way, it is expected to arrive at the ...... in half an hour]
As usual, it was another half-hour waiting time, Mu You planned to take the opportunity to go out and buy some breakfast, but before he could walk away, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the screen.
[You were on your way when a 'nameless person' suddenly jumped out of the side of the road and launched a sneak attack on you! 】
[You easily counter-killed the nameless person (level 1), lifespan +1, experience points +1, and the remaining lifespan is 132 years.] 】
Well???
Mu You was stunned, since he left Anning Village, he hadn't been attacked for a long time.
Nobody? Level?
This can't be a new player who hasn't gotten a skin yet......
Mu You thought about it, too, today is the day of the game's large-scale internal beta, 10 million new players have poured in, and there must be many more players near him, but he didn't expect to meet it in the game so soon.
Mu You didn't care, he was now level seven, and in the past few days, he had taken the ten free attributes from his grandmother's rice porridge, plus the three points that had been left free before, and he was able to allocate two rounds of attributes.
His current attributes are: 10 points of strength, 20 points of agility, 30 points of intelligence, 7 points of constitution, and 1 point of freedom remaining.
This kind of panel, for these newcomers whose surrounding attributes are still hovering at 1 point, belongs to a gap that can be crushed to death with one finger.
So Mu You didn't care about it after looking at it, and continued to hurry.
As a result, within ten minutes, two prompts popped up one after another.
[A 'nameless person' has launched a sneak attack on you!] 】
[You easily killed the nameless person (level 1), lifespan +1, experience points +1, and the remaining lifespan is 133 years.] 】
……
[You meet another 'nameless man' on the side of the road, and he attacks you with a knife! 】
[You easily killed the nameless person (level 1), lifespan +1, experience value +1, and the remaining lifespan is 134 years.] 】
……
"No, these newcomers are so tigers?"
The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched, and he said in his heart that these newcomers should not see him riding a donkey, and treat him as an NPC who can be bullied casually, right? One by one, they jumped out and sent them to death.
At this time, Mu You really felt the impact of the large-scale closed beta: the player did obviously become dense, just said that he had been gone for a while and encountered three in a row, and more importantly, he didn't encounter a single herb or a wild monster in the middle!
It can be seen that the competition for resources is also rapidly becoming fierce.
Having said that, this is still an internal beta, and it has only increased by 10 million players, and the feeling is already so obvious, and when it really comes to the open beta, billions of people will pour in together, and the opposite star spirit realm must not be crowded on the spot?
