A clay figurine represents a little incense.
Lin Xiang only had 14 incense points left, but in order to get help from the players, he had to expand the number of internal testers.
Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, so the worst that can happen is to exploit these players more and squeeze them to the fullest!
He opened the gaming forum out of curiosity, wanting to see what was going on with these people.
[Giant of Light]: Can this garbage website really realize virtual reality technology?
[Gray avatar]: I seriously suspect that this is a photo or video scammer!
[We are the cutest]: I really want to play this game, choose me, choose me!
[No one loves you if you just stare blankly]: Let's be frank, this NPC looks so elegant from behind, I want to see his face, and quickly release all his information.
[Tai Er Zhenren]: Official dad, pick me! I'm fluent in eight dialects, a master of dozens of games, and have plenty of time at home. I'm willing to grind and spend money, and I'll definitely report any game bugs on time. Pick me!
[I am a fishing expert]: I don’t mean anything else, I just want to enter the game to help the official find loopholes.
In fact, many of these players are indifferent or even skeptical.
They are now full of expectations, but also afraid that their expectations will be dashed. The timing of the release of this game video is very strange, and such an epoch-making work was launched quietly.
Lin Xiang could empathize with the players from their perspective. He did not waste time browsing the official forum which had become lively again. Instead, he carefully screened the nearly two thousand applicants.
When players registered, they just clicked a button and did not fill in any personal information.
However, the previous gaming records of these players can be seen on the gaming system, which is of great reference value.
"Xie Longtao, the first one to sign up, must be chosen. He might even be the first one to help spread the news."
"This Tai Er Zhenren seems very active. The game needs such active and hardworking players."
Lin Xiang muttered to himself, and finally selected a total of 5 players, namely Xie Longtao, Han Mu, Tai Er Zhenren, Yu Xiaoqi, and Bingxue Piaopiao.
Among these five players, the first three are male and the last two are female, and they have different areas of expertise.
Bingxuepiaopiao is good at farming games, Yu Xiaoqi is good at real-time combat games, Han Mu likes to specialize in various game playing methods, and Tai Er Zhenren has a live broadcast room with 80,000 fans.
In comparison, Xie Longtao is more ordinary, he is just a pure player.
He plays all kinds of games and can play a little bit of all kinds of characters, but he is not particularly good at any of them, which is closer to the perspective of an ordinary person.
After Lin Xiang finished selecting, he decided on these people.
[Confirm the five beta tester player profiles? Once confirmed, they cannot be changed. The players will enter the game world in 24 hours. Please prepare five clay figurines in advance.]
Fortunately, there was 24 hours of preparation time, so Lin Xiang immediately chose to confirm.
He didn't want to give the villagers a surprise in the middle of the night, so he would see if he could delay it for a while so that the players could show up in the morning.
…
Lin Xiang had just made his choice when the official website of "Ascension" immediately announced the nicknames of the five selected players.
"The list is out, and I'm not on it!"
“There weren’t many people who signed up just now, so it’s not even my turn.”
"Hahahahahaha, I'm selected!"
"Hey guys, let me help you verify whether this game is overhyped. You can go to T station and follow my live broadcast room. I will broadcast the game content to you later. Just search for my ID Tai Er Zhenren."
"You're really a bit of a fool. This isn't a computer game, nor a mobile game. Are you broadcasting it to us using your brainwaves?"
"Don't be too happy. What if this is just a prank? You don't even have the gaming equipment."
"That's true."
"I hope you can help clear the mines."
Bingxuepiaopiao is a fan of heavy farming and simulation business games. She doesn't like fighting or competition, but just enjoys the feeling of becoming stronger and richer, from nothing to something, from little to more.
For her, life goes on and farming continues!
There are actually many fairy-tale and cultivation-themed games on the market, but the gameplay and style of those games are not to her liking.
A long time ago, I happened to see the promotional materials for the game "Ascension". I was attracted by the farming and cultivation gameplay in the world of cultivation at first sight, and have been paying attention to it until now.
She originally thought that the game company had run away, and she just visited the official website out of habit, but she didn't expect that there would be a video and internal test screening.
She hadn't even considered the issue of virtual reality games; she just wanted to go back to the ancient setting and try farming.
"I was actually selected!" Even though Bingxuepiaopiao has a calm personality, she couldn't help but feel happy now.
"Since it's set in ancient times, I'll have to brush up on some relevant knowledge. I won't be expected to dig the ground myself by swinging a hoe, will I?"
The thought flashed through her mind.
As a person who grew up in the city, Bingxuepiaopiao has basically never done farm work. In the game, she can plow the land, sow seeds, fertilize, harvest, process and build by just moving her fingers or mouse.
She is full of anticipation and curiosity about the game "Ascension".
Xie Longtao, on the other hand, excitedly celebrated in his group of friends: "Hahahahaha, I have good news for you all. I've been selected for the beta test of 'Ascension'. Just wait for me and Old Han to return triumphantly. Then we'll show off and take you flying!"
"Damn, you're so lucky."
"You two go explore the area first. If it's really fun, we can come back after the public beta."
"When you become rich and powerful, please don't forget us. When you all ascend to heaven, please remember to send us some skills, treasures, and the like."
Compared to Xie Longtao's excitement, Han Mu was much calmer: "Let's quickly collect some information about the game and see what information and gameplay it reveals, so that we won't be completely clueless later."
"Don't be afraid, Old Han. I've been reading novels about cultivating immortals since high school. I know how to survive in the world of cultivating immortals. We can just play the pig and eat the tiger," Xie Longtao said shamelessly. "I hope this game doesn't let me down. Then we can shine in the world of cultivation together."
But Han Mu refused.
"No, no, no, you can shine on your own. I want to explore that world."
After he finished speaking, he began to search on the official website of "Ascension", trying to find some useful information.
At the same time, the video and screenshots produced by Lin Xiang were still circulating wildly on the Internet, attracting more and more people's attention.
…
Dongshan Village was peaceful throughout the night, and no evil spirits invaded.
This is the benefit of having the sacrificial spirit in charge.
Sometimes you don't even need to fight, just sitting there can create deterrence.
When the sky turned pale, the big rooster flew onto the top of the wall and crowed at the sun.
The originally quiet mountain village immediately became lively and bustling.
The hardworking villagers got up one after another to wash, light the fire and cook, and start a new day.
At the land temple, Lin Xiang was flying in the air, breathing in and out towards the rising sun in the east. Strands of the sun's essence along with spiritual energy were absorbed into his body, transforming into trickles of spiritual power flowing through his meridians.
[Absorbing the purple energy from the east, skill proficiency +1, spiritual power +5.]
Previously, Lin Xiang felt that the players were practicing the techniques a bit slowly, but now he discovered that Chunyang Jue could gain a bonus to proficiency and spiritual power when absorbing the first ray of purple energy every day.
As long as you persist, you should be able to save a lot of time and increase the total amount of spiritual power.
After completing one cycle of circulation, he picked up a long, straight branch from the ground and used it as a sword, and began to practice the Nine Pure Yang Swords in the land temple.
The first move, Rising Sun, is very simple. It simulates the state of the rising sun and at the same time infuses the spiritual power in the body into the sword, which instantly increases the damage a lot.
In the spacious courtyard of the land temple, Lin Xiang, who had never learned martial arts, was actually waving a tree branch with great force, and the only thing he needed to do was to find a few evil spirits to practice on.
Performing sword techniques consumes spiritual energy, and if you don't meditate, the recovery speed will be very slow.
Offensive skills like this also have proficiency requirements. The higher the proficiency, the higher the skill damage and the less consumption.
There is a huge gap between the damage done by beginners in swordsmanship and the damage done by those who have mastered it. The damage done by beginners is only half of the latter.
There are many ups and downs on the road to becoming an immortal. In addition to improving your level and skills, this kind of protection against enemies is essential.
Lin Xiang performed the remaining moves one by one. He was just copying others and performing them mechanically. He was not able to use them as flexibly as the masters.
Just when he wanted to continue practicing his skills, clan elder Wang Xiuyuan and village chief Wang Minghai brought a group of people to the land temple.
These hunting team members carried longbows and short spears on their backs, and had broadswords slung around their waists. They all looked tough and ready to go.
Wang Xiuyuan distributed a stick of incense to each person, took the lead in lighting it, inserted it into the incense burner, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Lord of the Land, may this hunting trip go smoothly..."
These incense sticks were just made of ordinary materials, but perhaps because of their sincere prayers and worship, they actually provided Lin Xiang with 1 incense point!
It just so happened that he was in urgent need of incense points to make clay figures for the beta test players, and now it finally came in handy.
Then the village chief and the rest of the team members knelt down beside him, praying for a safe return and a good harvest.
"Taxes are due soon. Hopefully, we can get more prey this time and sell them for a good price in town."
"Lord of the Land, bless you with a good harvest and I will offer you a good sacrifice."
They offered a total of 9 incense points, which, including the previous 14 points, made a total of 23 points.
Lin Xiang was very satisfied with this. It just so happened that he also wanted to go outside Dongshan Village to take a look, so he placed the clay figurine he had made earlier on the tribute table.
"Take this clay figurine with you on your hunting trip. It will protect you when you encounter danger."
Wang Minghai and others already knew about the existence of the new sacrificial spirit yesterday. Now, after hearing this mysterious voice, they were not afraid at all, but very happy instead.
In the past, every time they went hunting in the mountains, they would come to the temple to burn incense, but the spirits never gave them any response or help.
Now with the help of Lord Ji Ling, even if we encounter danger, we can escape it!
The author has something to say:
I just like playing simulation management games, from the Farm and Ranch series when I was a kid, SimCity, to later games like My Time at Portia and Don't Starve, I've played them all.
This "Ascension" game is actually the kind of virtual reality game that the author himself wants to play.
I wonder if you readers like similar games~
