Chapter 56 I Won the Prize
200 places may not sound like a small number, but the number of applicants this time has skyrocketed to more than eight million.
If the registration qualification was not bound to the ID card, I'm afraid that all the major game studios would have been rushing to register! After all, in this update announcement, it is said that the live broadcast function will also be opened! This means that with the current popularity of "Ten Continents", its own gameplay and freedom, you can make a lot of money by live broadcasting anything!
Bai Chenxue is also one of the more than 8 million people who have registered. As a college student majoring in literature, although her name sounds poetic, she is actually an out-and-out internet addict.
At this moment, Bai Chenxue was praying with her eyes closed in front of the little figure of Fang Xianyu that she had carefully drawn, which no one could recognize except herself: "Please, Master! Let me be your dog! I will swear to die and shed my last drop of blood for the Taiyin Sect. Please let me play, I'm so greedy!"
As time passed, the countdown for the activation code began. Soon, when the number in front of her eyes jumped to 0, it seemed that the entire game platform interface was stuck. Then, a clear and pleasant reminder sounded, and a female voice came into Bai Chenxue's ears, like the sound of nature:
"Dear Ms. Bai Chenxue, the qualification for the pre-order internal test of the game "Ten Continents" that you signed up for has been successfully selected by lottery. Please check the qualification code as soon as possible. Due to the regulations of the game company, if it is not activated within 48 hours, it will be regarded as giving up the qualification. Please activate it as soon as possible."
“Aaaaaaaa——”
Bai Chenxue was so excited that she almost burst into tears. She excitedly posted screenshots in various gaming groups she had been hanging out in for years, boasting loudly: "I won! I got the qualification! Ahhhhh!"
Almost everyone who has been playing virtual reality games for many years has paid attention to "Ten Continents" and has signed up, but only a few are qualified to draw a lottery. As soon as Bai Chenxue posted the screenshot, many jealous voices were heard in the group.
"Ah, go to hell, Emperor Europe!"
"Draw your sword! Emperor Europe and I cannot coexist!"
"Beluga sturgeon? Steamed, spicy, sweet and sour, or grilled? Pick one!"
…
However, Bai Chenxue only sent a screenshot and didn't even read the sour comments from her group friends - she almost immediately couldn't wait to activate her qualifications and enter the game.
Compared to most people who habitually skip the game opening animation, Bai Chenxue prefers to appreciate it immersively. After all, some games may not be very well made, but the animation is really good... Well, of course, this is mainly Bai Chenxue's own personal preference.
Unlike the one that was previously uploaded to the game forum, this opening animation has been updated!
At the beginning, there was a bright and clear moon, and then, looking downward, a village decorated with lights appeared.
Bai Chenxue recognized the village in the picture. It was the first village blessed by the Taiyin Sect where the players were - Shenyou Village!
However, the Shenyou Village might not have been discovered yet at this time, because although there were bonfires and candles in the village, the villagers all looked worried.
Then, a woman who was dressed better than ordinary villagers was surrounded and walked to the entrance of the village.
The old village chief in the crowd sighed and said, "Liu family, you go ahead. I will be the boss of your kid from now on. Just rest assured!"
The woman looked desperate yet calm. She knelt down in front of a middle-aged man with gray hair in the crowd and kowtowed heavily: "Grandpa, I can't fulfill my filial duty. You must live well!"
The man was hunched over, tears already streaming down his face. He could no longer hold on and staggered over, hugging his daughter and crying loudly, shouting at everyone, "The old man's neck is already in the ground, why can't I take her place! Why can't I!?"
At the end, her tone turned into begging: "The child cannot be without a mother. My daughter is only twenty years old! She is only twenty! You all have children! I beg you! Let me go! Don't let the child go!"
Many villagers in the crowd also sobbed, but this scene happened almost every year, and sympathy could not change it. "Liu Da, it's not that I don't want to, but how can you set a precedent here? Besides, there are only two of you in your family. If you go, who will take care of the medicinal fields? Everyone has children, and no one wants to go, but the lottery has been drawn. Alas, alas! It's fate! People! You have to accept your fate!"
"No! No! She is not the Goddess of Water! I think she is evil——"
"Shut up!" The village chief was furious. Someone in the crowd was quick-witted and rushed over to cover the man's mouth. The village chief hurriedly said, "Pull him back! Pull him back! Liu Da is too happy! He's hysterical! He'll be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Dad! My daughter is gone!"
The woman also burst into tears, but she had already accepted her fate. She said something final and turned to leave the village.
The scene changed, and the woman came alone to the cold pond at the entrance of the valley. The low temperature made her shiver, and the black mist gradually enveloped her.
Soon, there was a shrill scream, and the woman disappeared in the black fog. When the black fog dissipated, only a piece of remaining floral cloth was left by the cold pond - that was the color of the woman's skirt.
Just as Bai Chenxue clenched her fists, the screen flashed again, and the woman's father appeared alone by the cold pond. He was wearing simple wooden armor, holding an axe for chopping wood in his hand. He had a resolute look on his face, and his eyes were burning with hatred.
However, just as he approached the cold pond, a huge black "animal" jumped out of the water.
"ah!"
Bai Chenxue screamed subconsciously. This was a kind of Nine Nether Demon she had seen in the "Ten Continents Illustrated Book" on the game forum, called "盻魔"! The long tail of the盻魔 flapped on the water, and the countless orange-yellow eyes on its belly stared at the villagers, looking very scary.
The villager was also terrified, his legs even trembled uncontrollably, but for some reason, he gripped the axe even tighter, seemed to shout something, and chopped at the demon.
The eyes in the belly of the demon were full of mockery. He quietly watched the arrogant little insect buzzing towards him, and then swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.
"You... give my daughter back..."
Faintly, Bai Chenxue seemed to hear his last cry of sorrow.
Bai Chenxue could hardly control her tears, but the game screen was still jumping. This time, it was a few players wearing only shorts or shorts and tube tops, surrounding the cold pond. Under the command of Wang Ergou's signature voice, they used thunder talismans on the cold pond.
Several huge thunderbolts descended from the sky and struck the dark cold pond fiercely. The splashing water rose more than ten meters high. The whole scene looked like it cost a lot of special effects money.
More importantly, the damn demon was finally killed by the players, and God's Blessed Village finally had hope.
She saw the villagers running wildly in the fields and sitting on the ground in front of and behind their houses. They were hugging each other, crying and laughing, and they even looked a little crazy.
And more and more people gradually gathered at the graves in the corners of the village.
On that small piece of land, there were hundreds of tombstones neatly arranged.
That is hundreds of years of hatred and tears.
