Chapter 69 Internal Test (IV)

Four days passed in "Erezegai", hundreds of people wandered around the city of Batto, contracted various tasks in the city, and summarized various precautions.

For example, how to move bricks with the least effort, how to cut corners when building a house, how to climb a tree to find the cat of the Tiefling girl, and even how to steal vegetables from the market without being discovered.

The feeling that "Erezagai" gives to players is - extreme freedom and extreme reality.

You will be chased and beaten by your boss for stealing, you will be legally shot dead by the male owner for breaking into someone else's house and rummaging through the cabinets, and you will even be arrested by the Tiefling Guards for painting a beard on the statue in the center of the square.
What is even more surprising to players is that various physical and chemical reactions in reality will also be presented in the form of magic in this world - there is even a civil engineer with the id "Run away with the bucket" who has become the supervisor of the wall of Batto with his superb plastering skills and ancient cement refining method.

In four days, most players have reached level one, including Mantou.

There are twelve basic professional branches in "Erezagai" for players to choose from, namely: Warrior, Barbarian, Bard, Priest, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Warlock, Contract Sorcerer, and Mage.

These professions each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they also make many people feel that they are suffering from choice difficulties.

After careful consideration, Mantou chose the warrior profession as he preferred battles with swords and sabers.

However, most of them were forced to log off due to the 24-hour time limit of the game cabin - except for a few hard-working people who modified the game cabin system just to stay far ahead of everyone else.

"Phew, time has passed so quickly."

"I didn't even feel it. Four days had passed."

Mantou took down the game cabin and felt lost.

But he didn't have time to feel sentimental, because he had to work hard to release the video as soon as possible.

"Ah, another update is coming up. It really makes me feel bald."

Mantou touched the back of his head, which was a little sparse, and turned on the computer to start editing the video.

In Mantou's opinion, after this internal test, the quality of "Erezaiga" will definitely go viral. He must seize the opportunity to get this first wave of traffic and become a pioneer among a group of game enthusiasts.

A few hours later, the video was finally released.

"Mantou Live: Erezega, it creates a real world"

Mantou can be considered a relatively well-known gaming blogger, with tens of thousands of fans on a certain website. As soon as the video is released, many people click on it.

"The return of the missing!"

“Front Row”

"I am the first"

"You're not going to charge for such an exaggerated title, are you?"

"Hello everyone, I'm Mantou, and the game I'm bringing to you today is Erezega."

"I believe many people have never heard of its name, but you will soon know it. I discovered this treasure game by chance at the beginning. Now I have been playing it for a day and a night. I am in good spirits. If there is no time limit, I feel I can play it for a year."

"Okay, without further ado, let's move on to our live game session."

“Classic bullshit opening.”

"Don't talk nonsense and you won't die series."

There were already a lot of comments before the game started, and the show effect was already there when it came to the selection stage, especially when the charm was given to 9.

"The king of heaven and the tiger of earth, the charm of steamed buns 9"

"Hahahaha, sorry I laughed out loud"

"Mantou: No ancient god body? I am the ancient god body myself!"

“It’s so fun.”

"Now I know why Mantou's online dating failed in person."

Not to mention the scene later where "Brother Holy Light" took off his clothes in pursuit of freedom, only to find himself socially dead, and the scene where White Tiao in the Waves visited the resurrection point three times but was blocked by NPCs. The show effect was completely maximized.

"Hahahahahaha, the slut finally got his comeuppance!"

"Holy crap, is this AI so advanced?"

"It's a bit scary." "It makes me want to go in and play too."

The following part focuses on showing Mantou's various experiences of moving bricks, earning experience and money in the city of Batol - including the time when he was chased and beaten by an ogre because of his rude words and almost contributed his precious first blood.

"Chase, chase for me!"

"Ogres eat steamed buns, happy."

"I feel like you've become a black slave!"

"Today's live game is over. I'm going to take a short break. I'll continue to work in Erezega World tomorrow. See you later."

“In the future, I will produce and release a series of videos titled “The Adventures of Mantou’s Erezega”, which will be serialized simultaneously on the player forum and a certain website. Please stay tuned.”

Once this video was released, it quickly caused a sensation among the immersive game player community, with millions of clicks, directly topping the hot list of the game area that day, and also attracted more players to pay attention to "Erezaiga".

……

The posts on the Cassius Browser Player Forum are varied and diverse.

A newbie asked:
"How come I can't get any spells as a first-level wizard? What's going on when they say I need to learn scrolls?"

"I want a Wild Warlock gameplay guide. What should I do if my teammates are burned to death?"

Teammates recruited:
"Tracking the orcs who are rebelling against the tribe, looking for a barbarian teammate to take the damage in the front row."

"Hire a bard, I want to hear some ditty."

"Recruiting people to complete the quest of hunting the owlbear. No mages, and certainly no wild warlocks."

There was also a protest from someone:
"Hundreds of millions of people signed this letter in blood! We protest against the official intentional targeting of excellent players, squatting at the resurrection point and disrupting normal gameplay, and demand that the player be compensated with 1000 gold coins."

However, most of the replies below were mocking, "There are still many official ones," "Are you so lazy?", "I'll compensate you with 1000 deaths."

At this time, Cassius accidentally found a strategy post.

"Teach you how to get started with Erezegei in five minutes!"

He was very familiar with the nickname of the author of that post, Singo. In his previous life, he was called S Da, and his nickname was Xin Gou. He was a veteran immersive game player and a professional lone wolf player.

Not only is he a top-notch player, he is also good at making strategies. He is an eternal beacon in the hearts of many single-player novice players.

The main content of his guide is to summarize the ways for novices to complete tasks and the cost-effectiveness of the choices. However, he emphasized the four truths for accepting tasks:

"If you have money, choose money; if you don't have money, choose equipment."

"Contribution to the camp? Not even a dog."

Cassius narrowed his eyes and exhaled a breath of hot, sulfurous air.

"That's not okay."

"You all want money, so how can I get something for nothing? We must stop this unhealthy trend!"

In fact, from the player's perspective, Singo's strategy is absolutely correct.

Compared to physical objects such as gold coins and equipment, which are inherently valuable and can be circulated everywhere, the camp contribution provided by Cassius is more like a credit currency issued by the camp.

Faction contributions have an inherent disadvantage - they have no value in themselves and only have value when circulated.

You have to buy things with it, right?
If you can’t buy anything, the value of your faction contribution will be reduced to zero, and players currently have no way to use their faction contribution.

If Cassius wants to do a business with no capital and reap the benefits from players, he must make players have enough expectations for the special currency "faction contribution" and actively think that it is valuable.

Cassius smiled slightly at the thought.

"Transfiguration!"

Tiny flashes of magical power appeared, the huge red dragon disappeared, and a noble young man with black hair, golden eyes and a red robe appeared in the cave.

"I still have to get in touch with the players in person..."
