Chapter 66 Internal Test (I)

[Internal testing is about to start, data is being obtained...]
[Data acquisition completed, internal testing time: 365 days]
[Countdown to the start of internal testing: 3 days]
"Internal test."

"It's finally here."

Cassius stared at the information on his panel and breathed out flames in anticipation.

He vaguely remembered that there had been an internal testing activity in his previous life, but he was not sure about the exact time because he was not one of the lucky ones who got the internal testing account.

Moreover, "Erezegay" was completely unknown at the beginning, and the official did not carry out any commercial promotion. It only uploaded the purchase link of the game cabinet on the official website. Later, it was because of the high quality of the game that it was able to go viral and eventually became a global hit.

This beta version is also called [Starfall Origin], with only one thousand places available. Players are born in a Tiefling refugee camp and do not have any main quests. They can freely choose their camp, help the Tieflings, join the Rackman, or go to other countries in the North.

The final ending is that the player uncovers Duke Blood's conspiracy, and the tieflings return to North Wind Hold under the leadership of Medoraash.

And this is why Cassius deliberately took in the tieflings.

In Cassius's opinion, Medorash was a thorough pragmatist, which suited Cassius's taste. After the player appeared in his previous life, he quickly realized the strength of this emerging force and took advantage of it, using it to expand his own strength and confront the Rackman family, which was in its heyday.

But Cassius clearly remembered that within a few months after the end of this internal test, the public beta of "Erezegai" was launched, which was not the time written on his NPC panel at all.

"Erezegai's time and the Earth are not equal."

"Only when players enter will the two sides proceed synchronously, and the time flow rate in Erezegei is four times faster than that on Earth."

"Players returned after the first major update in the previous life, and more than ten years have passed since Erezega."

Cassius thought to himself.

But it's better this way. He can't sleep as a dragon for decades, and when he wakes up, the players have already become legendary and are waiting to slay the dragon in divine armor. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for him?
[Acquiring data. Completed acquiring data.]
[Unlocks player interaction templates.]
Obviously, this is a template that can communicate and interact with players. Although players have not yet arrived and the functions cannot be reflected, Cassius should be able to issue tasks to players, sell goods, teach skills, grant professions, and even adjust his favorability towards players.

Cassius understood this well.

In the previous life, when facing those moody NPCs, it was normal for them to have a good impression of you one second, and then instantly lose their favor to you after hearing a wrong word from you the next second, or even draw their swords against you.

[Unlocks faction template.]
[Unlocks the Player Forum.]
“Is this thing open to me too?”

Kaixiu was a little surprised. The player forum was used by players for communication and entertainment in their previous lives.

When waiting for resurrection, players often choose to go to forums to chat and say nonsense like "being killed by a stone doesn't count as death" and "what does it mean to be killed instantly? I call it resistance to damage" or they seriously discuss career construction and equipment selection.

In the forum, you can either watch the fun or choose to step up and become part of the fun. There are even clown posts that confess their love in the game, which attract a lot of laughter from onlookers.

Cassius clicked into the forum and found it was empty, with nothing in it.

"Sure enough, we have to wait for the players to enter."

"But before that, I have to talk to them first."

Thinking of this, the red dragon walked out of the cave, ready to instruct his followers and teach them some techniques on how to tame players.

The main point is "lure with benefits and threaten with power"

Commonly known as the carrot and stick tactic.

As for “explain with reason and move with emotion”?
Don't even think about it, it's impossible to do, and it will only arouse some players' rebellious psychology. The first time a player enters, there will definitely be a lot of unpleasant things. Cassius knows this group of lawless guys too well. After all, he was like this in his previous life, stabbing here and slashing there, and unknowingly filled up the hatred.

Afterwards, he put on an innocent attitude and asked questions on the forum, saying "I didn't do anything, why are all the NPCs in this town chasing me?" It's really hateful and infuriating.

[Nickname: I Eat a Bun]
Mantou is a game zone up-host, and the content of his videos mainly focuses on the live experience of new games.

He is considered a second-generation rich man, with no worries about food and accommodation. He has more than a dozen latest game pods at home. His daily job is to search for new games online to try, such as My Virtual Girlfriend, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, King Kong vs Qin Qiong, and Garbage Pickup Simulator.
Don’t worry about the quality of the game, as long as the traffic is full.

"Alas, this is an age of material desire."

In this era of fully immersive games, all kinds of games emerge in an endless stream, but Mantou already feels that he is a little electronic.

Even if an interactive beauty is placed in front of him, he remains indifferent and can no longer find the pleasure he felt when he rubbed his phone as a child.

By chance, he saw a promotional video of "Erezaigai", or a live game. There was not a single unnecessary line in it, but it clearly showed a real world of swords and magic: "Giant dragons soared in the sky, and knights held up their swords."

This reminded Mantou of his original intention of playing games - fantasy.

Everyone wants to be a hero who saves the world.

So he placed the order without hesitation and received a brand new gaming cabin and an account balance of -8000.

"Hey, can't you pinch your face?"

"It turns out that it uses a face scanning mechanism, which will discourage many players who like to tweak their faces."

"There may be some players who like to use transsexual accounts to play online dating. Um... don't ask me how I know this."

In this age of fully immersive gaming, the waters of online dating are simply too deep.

Mantou has a deep understanding of the fact that it is impossible to distinguish between men and women by their actions, voices, and appearance. He couldn't help but recall an unknown and tragic experience of his own.

"Since this is a face-swiping game, we can't create the body of an ancient god."

“Although I appreciate your affirmation of my wisdom.”

"But why is my charm only 9——"

Mantou in the game cabin burst into tears again, recalling the experience of being blocked after leaking photos of an online relationship. Maybe the game cabin was not wrong, and he was the one who was wrong.

“The sense of immersion is gone now.”

Mantou complained conscientiously.

[Confirming your birthplace. Confirmation completed!]
[The initial location of the internal test, coordinates 17834.4524.455, Batto City.]
[Preparing for birth]
[Hello, welcome to Erezega! ]
　The player finally appeared, and I referred to the basic leak master.
