Naturally, the people were in an uproar about what Blacklight Technology was doing, but all continents in the Earth Federation were confused.
Because they knew about the existence of consciousness stealers, although they didn't know what happened back then, they were a little confused about what Blacklight Technology was doing.
Why are mind stealers included in the game? What is the purpose of Blackwatch Corporation
Out of inspiration? What could be a bad theme for a game, but why would you choose this thing
Is this game banned under 18? The promotional video looks a bit too bloody. If you want to get the game version number, you may have to harmonize it...
These are the official thoughts of various countries.
The next day, under the spotlight, Blacklight Technology finally opened the registration portal for the game's internal beta. Hundreds of millions of people came to sign up immediately, almost causing the website's server to crash.
The content that needs to be filled in for registration is very simple, mainly personal information and contact information. However, what is strange is that in addition to asking the player's average daily login time, the resume also asks whether the applicant has experience in the military and whether he has practiced comprehensive skills. Fighting and military training, etc.
Soon, in just three days, Blacklight Technology officially announced the list of 100,000 internal testers. What is surprising is that among the 100,000 places, not many well-known professional gamers occupy them. I know that during the internal testing of a game, priority will be given to those world-renowned professional players, because these players are the mainstay of the game during the internal testing.
The quotas issued by Blacklight Technology are mostly given to veterans with experience in the military or instructors who have retired from the special forces. On the contrary, there are not many quotas for professional game players.
In addition, Blacklight Technology also asked the internal testers on the list to send their DNA samples to the local Blacklight Technology branch, and announced to the outside world that DNA would be used to bind players. identity.
Although the need for DNA sampling caused dissatisfaction among a few people, most people still had no objections. In the eyes of many people with envy and hatred, they started shipping the DNA samples after getting them, and they greeted the world at Blacklight Technology. Under the circumstances, the customs clearance efficiency is extremely high, and within seven days all game warehouses have been sent to the hands of closed beta players around the world.
Moreover, Blacklight Technology has long considered the problem of scalpers. When determining the quota for internal testing, it reminded that the game warehouse has a special DNA authentication system, which can only be used by internal testing players themselves. Even if it is resold or sold in other ways, others cannot use it. of.
This allows the game warehouse to be accurately distributed to the hands of each designated target without being resold or used for other purposes.

Shi Yangyu is a fifty-year-old young man.
Well, in terms of physical fitness, he is indeed still considered a young man.
Born in 1994, he had served the country and served as a volunteer in Zhongzhou District. After retiring from the army, he found a job in his hometown and became an armed police instructor with a monthly salary of 5,000.
However, when he was young, as housing prices became higher and higher, and strange things happened frequently in the capital and entertainment circles, such as "a daily salary of 2.04 million" and "making a lot of money selling brand-name wine"... the consciousness of netizens generally began to awaken. Realizing that they were just piles of leeks waiting to be raped, gradually non-marriage and sterility became popular in Zhongzhou District.
Shi Yangyu is one of the people who pursue this doctrine, so although he is fifty years old now, he is still single and enjoying it.
With the strong rise of black light technology in recent years, technologies for extending lifespan and delaying aging have been continuously innovated and reduced in price. Now, except for the citizens of some remote and poor small countries who cannot afford these costs, black light technology has basically been popularized in the entire Earth Federation. With the technology, there are no real elderly people in the world anymore, at least they are middle-aged people whose physical fitness is around fifty years old.
Shi Yangyu had an aging reversal treatment five years ago. Therefore, although he is fifty years old now, his appearance and physical functions are still at the level of a thirty-year-old, and this state can last for about fifteen years. , which means that when he is sixty-five years old, he can continue this treatment and continue to extend his life.
Therefore, he is still working in the Armed Police Detachment. Although he does not have a wife or children, he enjoys it because in the second dimension, he also has a wife.
Shi Yangyu's usual hobbies are to read comics, catch up on TV series, and occasionally watch a few movies. At the same time, he is also a noble stand-alone game player, such as "GTA8", "Girls' Scroll 8", and "The Wilderness 4" , "Cyberpunk 2099", he has played them all.
Although he is not a professional player, his skills are not inferior to those of those professions at all, because he is proficient in fighting and firearms, and in today's mainstream games that rely on brain wave manipulation, his profession can give him a great advantage .
Therefore, when he learned about Blacklight Technology's new closed beta game "Old Civilization" a week ago, he signed up for the closed beta online with the idea of giving it a try without getting pregnant.
What he didn't expect was that he actually won the bid!
When he learned the news, he was extremely happy. He counted his fingers every day to estimate the arrival date of the game warehouse. Today, he finally received a call from the courier while at work.
He asked his android to receive the express delivery, then simply asked for a half-day leave from his boss, and happily returned to his home.
When he got home, the courier guy who was a part-time installer had already installed the game warehouse in his bedroom. It was a streamlined game warehouse, shaped like a carrot, with a round head and a round tail. It is slightly pointed, and the upper part is covered with a black translucent plexiglass cover that can vaguely see the inside.
Next to the game warehouse, it is much more exaggerated. There is a thing that is as tall as a person and looks like a host chassis. Moreover, the chassis is completely sealed, and there are fine small characters on it, marking various information. Class Notes.
"Owner."
A charming-looking android with big breasts and a perky butt came over. She smiled and said, "The courier just said that neither the game cabinet nor the accompanying console are allowed to be disassembled. Once disassembled, they will be immediately invalid. Blacklight Technology will not repair it and will cut off the Game Store’s ability to log in to the game.”
"oh."
Shi Yangyu just kept observing the game warehouse in front of him, and nodded absently to the android's words. He walked around the game warehouse several times, and then seemed to think of something, and quickly ordered, "Quick, Tsunade, go quickly. Let me eat below, I’ll go into the game when I’m full!”
"Yes, Master."
The android bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the room.
Shi Yangyu couldn't help but rubbed his hands in excitement. He walked to the cover of the game compartment and pressed a red button on it. Suddenly, the cover opened directly to both sides, revealing the black waterproof material inside the game compartment. bedding.
"It's pretty good inside, it looks quite luxurious."
Shi Yangyu nodded with satisfaction. He simply took off his slippers, lay down directly in it, and then pressed the door closing button inside. Immediately, the lid of the game room closed again, locking him inside.
"Drip..."
"Detected user entry, started to detect identity..."
"Identity confirmed, user's brain waves match..."
"The temperature is detected to be too high. Do you want to turn on the thermostat?"
A pleasant female voice slowly sounded from the game room.
"Not open for now."
Shi Yangyu did not enter the game immediately, because he was still waiting to eat a full meal first, and then drink some water so that he could enter the game in a complete state. After all, he had been waiting for so many days, and it would not take more than a short while.
Thinking of this, he asked again, "Game warehouse, what is your name? In addition to being able to enter the game "Old Civilization", what other functions do you have?"
"Mr. User, I am the smart game warehouse model X1118 produced by Blacklight Technology. My property number is xxxxxxxx. I currently do not have a name. You can name me."
"At the same time, my function is limited to entering the game "Old Civilization". Apart from this function, I have no other functions for the time being."
The voice said immediately.
"What?"
Shi Yangyu was suddenly a little stunned, "You mean you have an exclusive game console? This is too luxurious. Don't you even have the function of playing other games?"
"I'm sorry, yes."
The voice continued to explain, "The reason for this is that Blacklight Technology uses the most advanced consciousness immersion technology at present, abandoning the traditional retinal imaging VR technology, and instead directly transmits vision, hearing, smell, touch, etc. to the player. In the brain, other games except "The Old Civilization" do not support this technology."
"So this is ah… "
Shi Yangyu was immediately disappointed. He was still thinking about using this game console to visit a high-heeled shoe store in "GTA8"...
"In this case, then I will call you... Lili."
"Yes, Lili has met her master..."
As Shi Yangyu communicated with the intelligence of the game warehouse, he gradually learned more about the characteristics of the game. In particular, this game warehouse can allow people to experience not only sight and hearing, but also touch and smell. , which made him feel even more shocked.
After all, for so many years, the so-called haptic touch in games has been just a gimmick. Most game companies use electrode technology such as "haptic suits" to wrap the whole body and use electricity to stimulate human nerves to produce corresponding feelings. In fact, this feeling It's too uniform and cannot be compared with the original feeling of human beings.
Now, this technology can finally be realized through brain waves...
Blacklight Technology is really holding back its ultimate move...
Shi Yangyu couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, the android Tsunade made a bowl of egg noodles, and Shi Yangyu quickly left the game room and ate the noodles in one gulp, then went to the bathroom to wash up, and then returned to the game room and lay down comfortably. inside.
"Lili, start the game, my sword is already thirsty!"
"Understood, start entering the game - loading... Start consciousness link... Three, two, one!"
Wow!
Following Lili's words, Shi Yangyu felt that his eyes suddenly went dark, and his consciousness seemed to have passed through a narrow and dark tunnel. When he regained consciousness again, he found that he was standing in an illusory space surrounded by white light.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Shi Yangyu said, but then he found that he couldn't feel his body, as if he had become a ghost and could only float in the empty world.
"Master, don't worry, you are now at the game entry interface."
What reassured him was that Lili's voice came at the same time, and then an illusory figure appeared in front of him. It was the appearance of a person without facial features.
"This is?"
"This is the character you created. Now it's the pinching link. After entering the game, you will move around in the game with this image."
Lili reminded, following Lili's words, Shi Yangyu only saw a pinching panel appearing out of thin air in front of him, with options such as facial features, body shape, hairstyle, skin color, etc.
Seeing this familiar link, Shi Yangyu, who was originally panicked because he couldn't feel his body, completely relaxed. He smiled crookedly, and a bold idea gradually emerged in his mind...
Three hours later…
A beautiful blond girl with silky hair and a high nose appeared in front of Shi Yangyu. This girl was about 1.7 meters tall and looked like a Persian cat. Although her face was expressionless, her whole person exuded an amazing aura. The charm, especially those eyes, is even more captivating.
"Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! My king is so beautiful!"
Shi Yangyu clicked his tongue in admiration. He looked at the naked blond girl in front of him with a look of intoxication in his eyes. "Of course you have to play a female role when playing games. The name of this character is Saber."
"Sorry, this nickname is already taken."
Lili immediately reminded, "Master, please change it."
"???"
Shi Yangyu's eyes widened, and he said with some sadness, "It's over, I forgot about this... In this case, just call me the king..."
"Sorry, this nickname is already taken..."
"Then call him King Arthur!"
"Sorry, this nickname..."
"Call Saber King Arthur!"
"Feel sorry… "
“…”
After some trial and error, Shi Yangyu finally gave up. He gave himself the regular name of "Ju Yang Jushi", and then successfully created the character.
Immediately, a character attribute card appeared in front of Shi Yangyu.
"Name: Juyang layman."
"Gender: Female."
"Age: 18."
"Race: Human race."
"Attributes: Strength 8, Constitution 10, Size 9, Agility 11, Charisma 14, Intelligence? Perception?"
"Occupation: None."
"Professional Skills: None"
"Special Skills: None."
Looking at these data, Shi Yangyu suddenly asked curiously, "Where did this attribute come from? Did you roll a dice?"
"No, this is automatically judged based on the character you created."
Lili replied, "After the attributes of each created character are digitized, they are around 10 points. This is an average value. The character you created is female and has a thin body, so the strength is slightly weaker than the average. However, Every loss has a gain, your agility is slightly higher than the average, and your appearance is judged by the system to be extremely good-looking, so it is judged to be 14 points after digitization."
"As for intelligence and perception attributes, it depends on the player himself, so it cannot be determined for the time being."
"In other words, if I set the character to be a big man three meters tall, can my power be further enhanced?"
Shi Yangyu suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Of course, but the system limits the maximum height of the characters created to no more than 230 centimeters, so your strength can reach up to 15 points, but your agility will also be reduced accordingly."
"So how to improve attributes? Upgrade?"
"All the physical rules of this game are based on reality, so there is no upgrade system."
Lili replied, "But all attributes can be enhanced through exercise, that's for sure."
Hearing Lili's words, Shi Yangyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although this game is fun, according to the explanation of the intelligent AI, it is a bit too hardcore...
Thinking of this, Shi Yangyu no longer struggled with this, and he immediately chose to enter the game.
Immediately, a half-hour-long progress bar began to load...
