Chapter 19 Internal Beta Begins
On the other side, with the Duke's handwritten note, Anvis withdrew some Void Silver from the warehouse and asked Leonard to help make a book chain.
Void Silver is a metal that has the color of dim stars and exudes an indescribable aura. It matches the style of the old secret scriptures very well.
Of course, it’s priced to match, too.
Void Silver is a metal-like magical material with spatial properties. It is an extremely rare magical metal that is only produced in powder form in some special unstable spatial areas, with an annual output of only a few grams.
This metal is usually used to make high-level space-attribute magic equipment and construct space-based rule runes. It is an essential material for cross-continental teleportation arrays.
Even in the warehouse of Yuelin Castle, this metal is considered to be an absolutely top-grade material, and the stock is only a few hundred grams.
Avis spent dozens of grams to make this book chain, which was enough to make a high-level space ornament.
For this reason, Leonard originally hoped that Avis would reconsider.
But when Anvis particularly emphasized the "Duke's instructions" and the "high-level magic book", the butler still helped him refine this book chain.
"Then again, maybe we should change the look of it a bit."
Avis gently stroked the dark green cover. A familiar strange touch came from his fingertips. Based on the sense of touch alone, he even suspected that what he was stroking was not a book, but the tentacle of some unknown creature.
Magic tricks -
A ray of magical light flashed between his fingers, and the dark green book suddenly turned into a brilliant silver-white, as if it was cast in silver.
….….While Anvis was rejoicing over obtaining the ancient secret scriptures, in another world, the scene he had been looking forward to for a long time before crossing over was happening.
Blue Star, a surface city, the scene of the "Mysterious Era" game trailer launch conference.
“…This is the world’s first fully immersive virtual online game, set in medieval sword and magic, providing players with a 98.25% immersive experience…”
"…This game uses the independently developed Fantasy II engine and the supercomputing core - Eternity, striving to present a real magical world to the majority of players…"
"…Equipped with a unique mind acceleration system, the time ratio between the game and reality is 12.5:1…"
"...Then, we will randomly select 250 lucky warriors from all those who have registered to participate in the deleted file beta test..."
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
"Ding——your system has been credited~~"
Noticing his text message alert tone, Jiang Heng took out his cell phone and glanced at it.
The next moment, although he was in a noisy conference hall, he felt that the whole world had become quiet.
Hey, I won! The "Mystic Era" internal beta test quota of only 250 individual players in the whole continent has been applied for! As a former professional player who has left the club, he didn't have much hope at first, but he never expected that luck would suddenly hit him!
You know, it's a completely immersive game! It requires sci-fi equipment like game cabins and nutrient solution!
There is even accelerated thinking, which is almost equivalent to a 12.5 times increase in lifespan! In comparison, all those slutty VR games should be thrown into the trash! As one of the 250 lucky ones who stood out from 658,436 warriors, Jiang Heng left the venue with a reckless pace and went to the official store to order a dedicated game cabin.
Of course, such good news cannot be enjoyed alone. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone.
In the store, Jiang Heng took a selfie with his back against his own exclusive numbered gaming cabin, turned on the fifth-level beauty filter, attached a screenshot of his qualification certificate, and sent it to all his friends.
"I just casually applied for the internal test qualification. The probability is really high—"
Three seconds later, replies from friends flooded in.
"Fuck! Dogecoin!!! Convex"
"Please be a human being--"
"I'm a Buddha. Humans can't be compared to dogs."
"European thieves can never be killed, and African tears can never be shed!"
…
After receiving the heartfelt blessings from his friends, Jiang Heng closed the social software with a refreshed mind. It seemed as if his energy and spirit were sublimated in an instant.
Of course, when Jiang Heng sent the group message, he avoided those friends who were still active players in the club.
As one of the largest e-sports clubs in the country, it is not difficult to get a few internal testing spots reserved for the club.
In other words, he wouldn't get the desired effect even if he sent it, so he simply didn't tell them.
Among all professional players, Jiang Heng is considered a rare gem.
Because he disliked the training being too tiring, he simply rejected a lucrative contract extension two and a half years after becoming captain and instead applied for retirement.
After signing an agreement promising never to join other clubs, Jiang Heng peacefully terminated his contract with his old club. He then lazily stayed at home with the tens of millions of savings he had accumulated over the years, leading a typical lazy life.
Oh, and he's still single.
After the game cabin and half a year's supply of nutrient solution were delivered to his home by the staff, Jiang Heng happily took a shower, then lay down in the game cabin and put the built-in sealed sensor on his head.
A slight "beep" sounded, and two lights, one red and one blue, lit up in the cabin, slowly sweeping across his body. The slightly cool nutrient solution was injected into the cabin, and the chill from his skin made Jiang Heng shiver.
The nutrient solution seemed to have a slight hypnotic effect. He felt sleepy almost immediately and the world fell into darkness.
The next moment, the darkness was dispelled by the sudden light.
Jiang Heng looked around curiously and found that he was in a void space emitting white light.
There is a vague human figure in the center of the space, with no reference objects around it.
“Dear warrior, please start building your identity.”
A voice came from nowhere and echoed in his ears. It was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but Jiang Heng instinctively felt that the voice was extremely pleasant.
As the voice fell, a crystal-like panel appeared in front of Jiang Heng. On it was a blank ID input box and corresponding letter keys, followed by a line of words: Please enter the player's nickname . He raised his hand to enter the nickname he had in mind. After pressing a few letters, a familiar text selection box appeared in front of him.
Oh, I'm still using the smart search Q pinyin input method! Jiang Heng felt a little annoyed, but he still pressed enter silently.
"Last Dragonborn, this nickname is available for use. It cannot be modified after registration. Are you sure?"
"confirm."
This nickname comes from an old but classic game. What Jiang Heng finds very regrettable is that even though holographic virtual games have been released, this game still has no sequel.
After the nickname is confirmed, the panel expands and displays a series of race options. Each race has a corresponding background introduction, racial talents and attribute corrections.
Human, elf, half-elf, half-orc, dwarf, random (note: rare races may appear with a small probability). After browsing the attribute descriptions of all optional races, Jiang Heng finally chose the elf.
The other options instantly shrunk to the corner of the panel. The icon representing the elves enlarged, and two detailed racial divisions appeared below.
Elf (Nature) and Elf (Dark) After carefully comparing the differences in their talents, Jiang Heng chose the Nature Elf.
Although they do not have the innate tricks of the dark elves, the charm adjustment of the nature elves is 5, the highest among all optional races, which is 2 higher than that of the dark elves.
The figure in the center of the space suddenly began to change shape. His body became thinner, his skin became whiter and more delicate, and his ears became longer and more pointed.
The shadow of Jiang Heng can be vaguely seen in his handsome facial features, but his eyes are a light green, like clear pool water.
The hair color also changed to light green and became slightly longer, adding a touch of elegance.
