Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
Regardless of whether the players have an internal test account or not, after searching everywhere on the live broadcast system, they did not see any live broadcast room related to "Taohuayuan".
They flocked to ch's homepage to see what was going on.
As a result, when I clicked on it, I saw an unexpected announcement.
[ch: There are fifteen days left in the internal beta test of "Taohuayuan". After fifteen days, the internal beta version of "Taohuayuan" will be closed, and after twenty days, "Taohuayuan" will be open to all players.
To ensure the best experience for players when the game is officially launched, the live broadcast function of "Taohuayuan" will no longer be available during the next 15 days of internal testing. Please understand.
All beta testers will receive a redemption code at the end of the beta test. After the official release, enter the redemption code in the game to receive a beta test reward.
The players who didn't get into the internal test and originally just wanted to ask why the live broadcast permission was shut down, immediately forgot everything when they saw this news and were extremely happy.
[Am I seeing this right?]
【! !finally! ! ! 】
[This is great! I thought there would be two, three, and even multiple tests after the closed beta test, but now we can go straight to the public beta test! I love you! !]
Thank you, thank you. I can sleep well tonight.
[Oh my god! What day is it today? Such great news suddenly came!]
Players who didn't get a spot in the beta test were celebrating, while a few remaining beta testers stared at the line that said, "To ensure the player experience when the official release begins," silently wondering—what experience? A heartbreaking experience for travelers?
I don't believe you, you stinky bitch!
Players who came from the beta player chat channel deeply suspected that CH had a small account in their channel, so it was such a coincidence that this happened just when they were planning to make a traveler collection.
However, because the news about the public beta of "Taohuayuan" was too bombastic, many people did not notice that after scrolling down, there was a notice about the new activities of "Shanhailu" this month.
——Yes, that’s right. The producer once again set the opening time of “Taohuayuan” firmly after the activity time of “Shanhailu”, not missing any traffic.
"The Lich War expansion is launched...?" someone read out the content of the announcement and continued reading.
This time, "Shan Hai Lu" did not release the event announcement ten days in advance, but only five days in advance.
The announcement related to "Shan Hai Lu" said that the first phase of the [Lich War] expansion pack activities will be launched in five days, as well as new partners and new probability increases. The new partners this time are two of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Dijiang and Ju Mang.
At the same time, many new R-level and SR partners of the witch and monster tribes have been added, and some new maps have been opened.
Well, let’s just think of it as CH sympathizing with the players for not having live broadcasts to watch, and organize an event to give them something to do to get them engaged.
All in all, the rewards for this "Shan Hai Lu" event seem pretty good. There is a Twelve Ancestral Witches exchange fragment. Collecting five exchange fragments can be exchanged for one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. However, this event only gives one exchange fragment. If you want to collect all of them, you will probably have to complete the next five events and wait until all the Twelve Ancestral Witches are available before you can exchange them.
Those who don’t have the beta account for “Taohuayuan” have gone back to play “Shanhailu” with great anticipation.
After reading the notice, the beta testers of "Taohuayuan" returned to the beta tester chat channel to discuss the producer's intention in shutting down the live broadcast permission for the remaining beta test period.
[This time is too coincidental]
[Should we continue with what we agreed on?]
[Shutting down the live stream won't affect what we agreed on before, right? We can still communicate privately.]
[But the producers did this because they didn't want to leak the plot before the public beta? ]
I think it's hahahaha
Should we share this information with people who haven't played the game yet? It shouldn't have any impact, and the producers haven't said we can't share it.
【……】
"Actually, I think it's fine if the travelers' stories are happy, but if they're not, like Li Bai and Du Fu, then it's fine. During the discussion in the chat, someone said, "What we're doing now is like testing poison. If they get hurt before they do, then by the time we summarize it, new players will know it, and they won't be able to experience the same feeling as us. It's kind of unbalanced, isn't it?"
What does "刀" mean?
[Ah, this.] Xu Piao, who was watching their discussion with a straight face and occasionally quietly following the rhythm, found that he had accidentally used a habitual expression. When faced with questions, he sat up straight and explained nonchalantly, [I forgot where I saw this, but it probably meant that the plot was too cruel and painful, like a knife stabbing in the heart.]
[…This description is quite vivid.]
【really】
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Why did you pre-order that 'knife' thing in advance?!"
Many players who already knew Li Bai, Du Fu, and some other travelers with less fortunate fates thought about it and silently agreed with what Xu Piao's trumpet said at the beginning.
[Let’s not spoil the plot, just trick them in and kill them together]
【Spoilers are meaningless】
What do you say if others ask you?
The beta testers were silent for a moment when they saw this last question, and then tacitly said in the chat channel:
【Everyone has a bright future and a happy ending! 】
Some players who hadn't even been stabbed yet and were still getting along well with their fellow travelers felt a little panicked when they saw these flag-like words, and quickly said, "Don't say things like they don't have a good future!"
Hewlett watched and chatted for a while, and said that no matter when he finished the traveler collection, he would release it after "Taohuayuan" was officially released.
He didn't have to wait long, and soon someone came to find him.
"Boss," the player who came to see him said hesitantly, "I'm not sure if this information of mine will be of any use to you."
Hewlett said, "It's okay. Just tell me. I'll figure it out."
The player started talking, "Well, a traveler came to my Peach Blossom Spring yesterday. His name is Wei Shun, and he's a jailer, responsible for guarding criminals. He told me a story about a general..."
Hewlett paused slightly as he was recording, listened quietly to the story retold by the player, and recorded it truthfully.
Then many other players came to him to summarize the information.
"Big Boss, actually, I've met Su Shi before. But the Su Shi I met was probably older than the one who appeared in the Little White Cabbage live broadcast during the Green and Yellow Shortage period. When he came here, he seemed to be on his way to a place called 'Danzhou'..."
"Boss Hewlett, do you have any information about a traveler named Han Xin? If not, I've already unlocked four of his background stories..."
"A traveler I met before told me that the traveler named Huo Qubing died at the age of 24. Hey, I'm also following the live broadcast of the Dark Knight Soul Grandpa, but I haven't had the heart to tell him. In fact, I'm not sure if this is the same person..."
"I have..."
"Wang Zhaojun..."
"Li Yu..."
"Sun Wu..."
“…”
One by one, the names fell on the light computer notebook, becoming lines of cold text.
Countless information converges here in Hewlett.
He was like a small boat stuck deep in the ocean, about to be submerged by the water. He was shocked to find that the depth of the background was much wider and more sad than he had imagined, making him feel as if he was drowning and having difficulty breathing.
But at least he finally recovered bravely and recorded all the biographical information word by word. Because he was afraid of missing any information, he also specially called the smart housekeeper to help process and classify the information.
When he remembered that he was mentally exhausted, he saw that among the messages sent to him, there was a message that was a little different from those sent to other players.
If there is any information that you are missing or unsure about, please ask me.
It was the player in the chat channel who said the word "knife" - the word "knife" always made him feel that it had a vivid image that was of the same origin as the words "European and African liver".
Hewlett asked, "What information do you have?"
The other party replied after a while, saying only two words:
【a lot of. 】
After all, in this interstellar world, Xu Piao is the only one who knows that history.
She guided Hewlett to discover those things everywhere, hoping that someone would explore, discover and connect them.
Since Hewlett was planning to make a collection of travelers, she certainly hoped that he could do a good job.
The author has something to say:
Note: Wei Shun was the jailer who collected Yue Fei's body
