Since the beginning of its development, "Xinghai" has received widespread attention. There is almost no publicity. There are only some basic information given by the official website, but the popularity has continued to rise. Due to various rumors, "Xinghai" has cast a mysterious veil. , which makes players look forward to and be more curious.
Until the day of the public beta, the enthusiasm of the players who had been waiting for a long time was like a volcanic eruption. The number of the first batch of game cabins was limited, and purchase restrictions were implemented. Even so, they were all sold out within half an hour, and those who did not grab the game cabin. Beating his chest, the players who bought the game cabin couldn't wait to enter the game.
…
On the first day of the public beta, the first batch of thirsty beta players poured into the game. In the vast universe, batches of the earliest players were born in different birthplaces of more than a dozen novice planets.
That evening, in the forest outside the Dajiao Mountain settlement, one after another beta players who had created characters appeared out of thin air, looking around curiously.
"It feels so real." Someone controlled the body to jump around.
"Look at the sky, there are actually a few moons!" Someone admired the scenery.
"Tsk, can't you take off your pants?" Someone didn't know what they were doing.
"Is there no novice village in this game?" Someone looked around blankly.
More and more players appeared, and the crowd was crowded. As the saying goes, the number of players is over a thousand, and there are no boundaries. There are at least thousands of players who have come here. After the initial period of confusion, some sharp-eyed players soon discovered the lights of the Dajiaoshan settlement in the distance.
The lookout in the Dajiaoshan settlement found this group of ragged people and was shocked. He hurriedly blew his whistle and called his companions to quickly close the door, daring not to let so many strangers into the settlement.
The players were blocked and complained.
"What are you doing, why isn't the Novice Village open?"
"My hunger and thirst points are going down. If I don't eat anything, I will die."
"The expressions of these NPCs are so vivid."
Inside the Dajiaoshan settlement, all residents walked out of the house, holding torches and weapons, and guarding the gate with a serious look, preventing the huge crowd from impacting the settlement. The village chief, Sandre, summoned several important figures from the settlement to meet urgently.
"Where did this group of people come from? It's almost 10,000 people!" Sandrey said in surprise.
"Is it a group of migratory wanderers?"
"Just ask directly."
Sandrey came to the observation deck, looked down at the crowded players, and asked loudly, "Friends from afar, where did you come from?"
Players looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, whispering, crowd commotion.
Seeing this, Sandre shook his head and said, "If you don't report your calendar, I can't let you enter the settlement."
The public beta players are confused, they are all new, and they don't even understand the map. How can they answer the origin? Are you joking.
Inside the settlement, the internal beta players felt very fresh. While watching the play, they came directly to the settlement and did not experience this link. At this time, they suddenly received a prompt from the panel that a new task was triggered, and the content of the task was impressive. There are still a lot of rewards for persuading Sandre to accept the public beta players, and there are also hints, the words should be in line with the current world background.
"Interesting, there is no one in this sense of substitution."
The internal beta players were surprised and felt very diverse. They could use their own eloquence to influence the choice of NPCs, and their interest was even stronger.
After discussing a few words with each other, the internal beta players approached Shan Delie and began to explain.
After listening for a long time, Shan Delie finally understood, and said in surprise, "Do you know those people outside?"
An internal beta player didn't blushed or was out of breath, he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, we used to be residents of a settlement called the global village, and then we encountered a disaster, the settlement was destroyed, we were separated, those people outside We are just as industrious, Village Chief Sandrey, and I hope you will accept them."
"Global Village? Why haven't I heard of this large settlement?"
Sandrey muttered, a little moved, and hesitantly said: "But there are too many people to put in all of them."
"This is simple. They only need job opportunities and a little food and supplies. You can use them as cheap labor. This is just the opportunity to develop settlements."
The internal beta players snickered for a while, and they wished that the public beta players would be trapped.
Sandrey's eyes lit up, "You're right."
Soon, Sandrey explained the situation to the public beta players outside, and the public beta players received a mission one after another.
"[First job]: You'd better earn some money through labor, don't let yourself starve to death, and try to elevate the relationship between the Dajiaoshan settlement to neutral, so that you can be trusted and accepted."
With the guidance, the beta players began to do tasks with great enthusiasm. Across the fence, the residents of the Dajiaoshan settlement offered various job opportunities, and the merchants were also open to the players, and they could buy some food with their own money.
Once the beta players had goals, they began to brush up on the favorability of Dajiaoshan. The residents of Dajiaoshan provided simple tents, and the beta players formed a new camp outside the settlement, contributing to the socialist construction of Dajiaoshan.
The same scene also happened where the other newbies of Seablue Star came.
On the first day of the public beta, all players were very enthusiastic and excited. They soon discovered the photo and video functions, and they became more interested. Any trivial matter should be posted in the forum. , the following are a few representative posts filtered:
"Poor review, there is no excretion function!" The owner of this post obviously has ulterior motives, not for excretion at all.
"Being an alien has a special sense of body control." Another post, with a picture of a Tauren male player from a magical planet, is flicking his tail.
"I'm going to be killed by a wild boar, so happy." The accompanying picture shows a female player posing cutely with a V-shaped hand to the camera, with a wild boar running behind her.
On the first day of the open beta test, millions of players poured in, and they were distributed to each novice planet, with about 100,000 players per planet. As the influence ferments, this number will increase at a rapid rate. Within half a year of the game time, this number will climb to tens of millions, growing like a snowball.
The public beta players are very happy, but some closed beta players are like falling into an ice cellar.
…
Dark Crow Valley.
Jupiter and a group of members of the Protoss Guild looked at the surrounding mountains and forests blankly.
Looking around, the woods at the foot of the mountain are green, and the evening wind blows Lin Tao. The natural atmosphere is like a soft palm, stroking people's hearts, making everything seem natural and harmonious, and the lights of Crow Forest Town are faintly lit in the woods.
The scenery is beautiful, it is pleasing to the eye...
But where did the base go? !
Jupiter asked hesitantly, "Where we got off the assembly line... it should be in the base."
Everyone nodded in unison, and the movements were exactly the same.
"The faction relationship is gone!" Poseidon exclaimed.
Everyone hurriedly checked the panel, and the original "Dark Crow Valley Base Favorability" actually disappeared! Everyone froze in place, dumbfounded.
What kind of situation is this? !
"Look at the mission now!"
Jupiter woke up like a dream, hurriedly looked at the panel, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, okay, the task is still... damn!"
The next moment, everyone exploded at the same time, stunned.
"[Search for No. 0 (A-level)]: No. 0, a mysterious Germination traitor, he set off a turbulent situation and caused huge losses to the organization. The whereabouts of Number 0 are a mystery, find him and you will become the Germination Organization friend."
The difficulty has changed from B level to A level!
The quest prompt has also changed. The location of No. 0 is no longer Xidu. They want them to find a needle in a haystack on a planet! The Protoss Guild has made a lot of preparations for this task. The results of the discussions and the main points of the task can be written on a blackboard. It even plans to mobilize many peripheral members to go to Xidu to find the task target as soon as they enter the game. The preparation was all in vain.
"What did we miss?!"
Jupiter suddenly thought of the official introduction of "Xinghai" and lost his voice: "Isn't that No. 0 the protagonist of this planet?!"
