In the forum, many players also began typing replies.

Perhaps it was because they had just experienced a real battle and the mission quickly entered the second phase, so the players wanted to brag after having some fun.

When playing games, what matters is the inner joy. It's fun to challenge the difficulty, it's fun to grind, it's fun to get equipment, and it's fun to brag to others.

Especially for the hundreds of players who were part of the first closed beta test, that was a status that players all over the world dreamed of.

If you don't act cool, you'll be at a loss.

Lao Qiezi saw some posts in the forum that were obviously posted by real players.

[[Cage] is really awesome. I just experienced my first monster attack. I feel good.]

[The first time a monster attacked Dusk Town, how did I resist?]

[You have no idea what it feels like to actually face those monsters]

Lao Qiezi clicked on the last post.

It seems that the poster of the post has not gone with Old Eggplant to fight the monsters in the flowers before. He is a production player who focuses on farming and making some small tools.

[…Those bugs looked terrifying, like spiders that were magnified several times. Imagine an eight-legged spider as big as a dog crawling towards you, with its head full of eyes. There were hundreds of these spiders. I guarantee that people who are usually scared of southern cockroaches would faint immediately after seeing this scene!]

The poster described the scene of the monster attack he had just seen so vividly that it made people wonder whether the poster's real job was an online writer or a self-media operator.

Of course, many people disagree with his description.

Many people are complaining about him below.

[Isn't it just a bug? You sound like you've never seen one before. When I was catching grasshoppers in the field, I didn't even know where the OP was.]

[What's so scary about cockroaches in the south? When I lived in a bungalow, I killed several every day.]

[What's there to be afraid of? If one comes, I'll kill it. If a group comes, I'll kill them all.]

[In the movies, I saw that they fought against bugs one by one. Can you closed beta players do that? If not, let those of us who know how to play it do it.]

[Go learn some magic, get some equipment, once you know magic, killing monsters is easy, after a set of combos, the rest is just mowing down the monsters]

[Why do you closed beta players seem to be working so hard? You've been playing for several days, but you haven't leveled up yet? ]

Only some players helped to explain that the development curve of this game is very long, and a few days is just a matter of adapting to this world.

Some games used to use realism as a selling point. For example, in other games, horse riding is a matter of pressing a button, but this game is divided into several steps for players to operate. However, facts have also proved that this kind of excessive simulation does not work well on traditional platforms. After all, players come to play games, not to experience life.

But in virtual reality, it's completely different.

For example, Old Eggplant, he feels that his reaction speed in reality has improved a lot, and his endurance for physical activities has also become much stronger. In simple terms, although his body has not received corresponding exercise, his spirit has grown.

His mind became stronger.

Especially after facing the torrent of those bugs.

Old Eggplant felt that even if a car hit him head-on, he would not be too panicked, and he would even have time to react and dodge.

This sense of growth is like some action games that focus more on skills than equipment. The character's growth is minimal, but the player's growth is real. Although the feedback comes a little slower, the sense of accomplishment is stronger.

Those cloud players think that the closed beta players have poor skills and are bad, but Lao Qiezi makes fun of these people, saying that they have no idea what the game [Cage] is all about.

Lao Qiezi didn't rush to play games. He opened a few basic architectural teaching videos to see if there was anything he could learn. However, after a few minutes, he turned off the videos.

What is shear force? What is strain? What is statically determinate structure?

Isn’t building a house just a matter of putting one brick on top of another?

He began to feel that Lu Ban was right to recruit talents.

If we don’t have some players with real skills, it will be really difficult to build the Gray Tower and those fortresses.

Old Eggplant suddenly felt a little regretful at this time.

When I was in college, I was so addicted to games that I almost forgot what I was studying.

Although he is now a full-time UP host and earns much more money than those classmates who are still working as laborers in the unit every day, now, Lao Qiezi is actually a little envious of them.

The only skill I have left is playing games, and in the [Cage], this skill is completely useless.

After all, in the game, every player is a top-notch player, and Old Eggplant looks mediocre.

He felt like he needed to recharge.

Therefore, Old Eggplant opened the shopping website and quickly bought a few books on his major, deciding to pick up that knowledge and at least make some contribution to helping the Kingdom of Night build the Gray Tower.

After placing the order, Old Eggplant felt satisfied, as if he had completed his studies. He tidied up for a while and put on his helmet again.

…

The second batch of test players was quickly recruited.

This time, most of the players participating in the test are not professional players who have too much time, but many of them are elites from all walks of life.

There are technical backbones from a large communications group, engineers from a construction group, elite talents in fields including materials, mechanical manufacturing, power electronics, etc., as well as some young biological, medical and scientific research personnel participating.

Biochemistry, environmental materials, mechanical and civil engineering, and ox and horse majors really shined at this moment.

It can be said that just by gathering these people, Lu Ban could establish an expedition team to explore new areas and build a complete system in terms of infrastructure, communications, and scientific research.

Of course, these people did not come here for nothing.

All industries are now eyeing Morningstar.

Because the technical level demonstrated by this equipment is really amazing.

It's a waste to use it only for gaming.

All companies wanted to know the secrets of Morningstar, but their disassembly efforts yielded nothing, and they couldn't even figure out the basic circuit logic.

And "The Cage", this virtual reality open world game, makes people feel that Lu Ban's equipment is at least fifty years ahead of the times.

Anyone who is interested in these fields wants to know more.

However, Luban is not open to cooperation and does not even provide a software interface.

These people can only experience it themselves and find out.

On the night when the second batch of test players were confirmed, these players put on their helmets one after another and entered the Kingdom of Night.
