Chapter 24 a02 Update! Death Penalty!

Luo Yan had never expected that, even though there were rat tails all over the ground for him to pick up, and there were even some full and sleepy spiders on the first level of the underground maze for him to escape into, there was still some desperate guy who set his eyes on those worthless magic crystals and wanted to hoard some of them.

This is nothing more than taking off your pants to fart. He originally planned to wait until there were more players before introducing the death penalty, but now it seems that he has to do it earlier.

Watching a certain ID that made him lose his appetite walk away, Luo Yan said helplessly.

"Youyou, can you screen the qualifications of the closed beta players? I'm not saying that those who are not high-level players are not worthy of playing the game, but can we block those who are too outrageous? At least let them wait until the game is perfect before coming in?"

Youyou hesitated and spoke after a moment.

"That... is not possible. Although I can take back the closed beta qualification, I cannot give it to specific players."

All right.

It seems that the closed beta qualification is issued randomly, and this part belongs to the "underlying code" of the natural disaster system that cannot be changed.

Luo Yan could only think optimistically, and think that these incredible players were here to help him find bugs...

…

On the other hand, with the release of the a02 version update, the atmosphere on the official forum of "Scary OL" was as lively as a festival.

In fact, as early as when the monsters attacked the city, some players who couldn't sit still had taken the opportunity to log off and update the team battle status on the forum during the resurrection period.

A horde of rats! A boss as tall as a hill!

There are also cool spell-casting effects... Although it is NPCs casting spells, it is roughly equivalent to part of the game experience! In just one day, they verified two things!

First, the game's server was even more powerful than they thought, able to load so many events and scenes seamlessly, with scene destruction effects and a realistic physics engine! Second, the actual content of the game was definitely not just about spawning monsters and mining!

Judging from the density of events encountered in the Novice Village alone, the development team of this game is already quite conscientious!

If it were any other game, wouldn't this require a separate expansion pack?

Seeing the closed beta players having so much fun, the cloud players were envious and wanted to rush into the game immediately to grab the dragon-slaying sword and kill everyone.

“Strongly request the development team to update the screenshot and video recording function!”

“Strongly request the development team to delete the files for the public beta immediately!”

"Ahhhhh!!! I'm going to die without Natural Disaster OL!"

"What the hell?! Another update!"

"!! I'm shocked! This speed!!"

"Good news, guys!!! New closed beta qualifications have been released!"

"Bad news, there are only 400 new lucky winners. (Funny)"

"The second bad news is that the number of reservations has exceeded 10,000. (Funny)"

"@%#$!"

"I'm going to kill you all! (Angry)"

Looking at the news flooding the forum, Zhao Jinyan, who was sitting in front of the computer, was confused.

The reason why he was confused was not because he was shocked by the quality of the abstract netizens, but...

"Good fellow."

He actually got the prize?!

The game demo program had been downloaded long ago. He suppressed his pounding heart, quickly put on his glasses, and entered his account and password on the startup page.

After waiting for five or six minutes, he suddenly heard a strange noise in his anxiety.

“Beep——”

The opening animation described by netizens did not appear, and was replaced by a screen full of snowflakes.

"Grass!"

The experienced guy suddenly took off his glasses and threw them on the bed in frustration.

He spent dozens of dollars to buy a second-hand VR, but it f*cking crashed! What a crappy game! ?

…

Just when the experienced guy was busy fighting against the unscrupulous merchants, players on the "Disaster OL" forum finally started to seriously discuss the content of the A02 update.

The old man at the entrance of the village: "This update seems to have a lot of content, but it actually has a lot! In addition to the death penalty, it also updates the social module and the in-game store!"

Gou Shi: "It seems that the old man said a lot this time, but in fact he said a lot! (funny)"

The old man at the entrance of the village: "Fuck you!!! I'm just worried that the newbies won't understand it, so I just summarized the updated content!"

Gou Shi: "Okay, stop explaining. The more you explain, the more awkward it gets. (Funny)"

The old man at the entrance of the village: “@#%$!”

Gai Shi Ying Xiong: "Anyway, the ghost money finally has a place to spend, which is cause for celebration!"

Knowledge Explosion: "But what the hell is this recruitment for shop assistants? And the salary is paid in ghost money?"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Instead of giving ghost money, give real money? Think about it, is this possible? (squinting)"

Knowledge Explosion: "Strategy guy is here!"

Flower Monk Lin Daiyu: "Strategy brother! Analyze it! There are so many contents updated this time, is the public beta coming soon?!"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "I don't know, I'm not an insider. And although there are a lot of contents in this update, they are all expected. Think about it carefully, which game doesn't have death penalties, social systems, and in-game stores?"

Don’t wash your pants: “What the hell?! It’s true!”

No face washing: "That was a close call! I was almost tricked by that dog planner!"

Goblin Chieftain: "Fake update!!! Give me your money back!"

Tauren Warrior: "Brother! Your ID is quite interesting. How about making an appointment to play together?"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Well, that's an exaggeration. Although other games have these systems, "Catastrophe Online" is, after all, an epoch-making open-world adventure game developed by an unknown developer... Anyway, I'm going to brag, so don't rush to beat me up, you idiot planner."

Yiyezhiqiu: "Although the content of this update is not much, it is not difficult to see the ambition of the development team from some details. For example, the death penalty mechanism specifically mentions that the contribution value deducted by death will be different depending on the role played by the player. Reasonable analysis shows that this should be paving the way for the launch of different races in the future."

Pig-Headed Knight: "Succubus! Succubus!!! (screaming)"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "That's right. Take the succubus you mentioned as an example. I guess there will be some kind of mechanism updated in the future that allows players to upgrade their characters from skeletons to succubus... or pig-headed people by consuming contribution points."

He swallowed the septic tank in one gulp: "Why is it contribution points?! What about ghost money? And magic crystals!"

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Magic crystal? What is that? Anyway, from the perspective of the setting, it is more reasonable to say that the death penalty deducts contribution points, and reincarnation consumes contribution points. From a practical point of view, the inflation of ghost money has become so high just after the server was launched. If I were the planner, I would definitely not link important systems with it."

"On the contrary, I can clearly feel that the planners are carefully controlling the contribution value curve, which means that this parameter will greatly affect the balance of the game. The only way I can think of to affect the balance of the game is the future job transfer system... After all, when high-level demons and low-level cannon fodder are placed together, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the former will be stronger."

Gou Shi: "Awesome! I'm convinced!"

Knowledge Explosion: "You still say you are not an insider! I think you are just a mop! (Angry)"

A Leaf Knows Autumn: "..."

Goblin Chieftain: "Brother, please give me a closed beta test qualification! I'll let you play when I become a succubus. QAQ"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Get lost!"

The old man at the entrance of the village: “Hahahaha fuck!”

“…”

On the other side, in the hotel at the entrance of Beifeng Mine, Luo Yan, sitting under an abandoned stable, was spying on the chat on the official website through a mirror while roasting rat tail skewers in front of a fire.

Although he was somewhat reluctant to eat rat meat, rat tail seemed to be a traditional Chinese medicine? In short, he planned to put aside the long-lasting dried meat for the time being, and use the tributes handed in by the players to deal with it in the next few days.

"Wow... this guy has something."

Imagining the skewer in his hand as roast duck, Luo Yan gritted his teeth and rubbed a handful of it. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad at all, and after chewing it carefully a few times, it really tasted like duck meat.

What a pity.

Without cumin and MSG, it will still taste a bit fishy if you eat too much.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Leiming City was close to the sea, and if he walked south he should be able to touch the coastline.

If we can get some kelp, maybe we can produce monosodium glutamate.

Although he didn't know how to extract this thing, he had a player! The more Luo Yan thought about it, the more reliable it seemed. At the same time, he was also wondering why a senior time traveler hadn't thought of this.

"It seems that a person's power has its limits after all. Even gods are limited to this. There is always a loophole in a hundred precautions..."

Youyou: "Master Demon King?"

"Nothing, I'm just expressing my feelings... It's really nice to have a group of like-minded friends, hahaha."

Looking at the stupid comments from netizens, Luo Yan threw his head back and laughed out loud, like a real devil.

"Speaking of which, Youyou, just watching me eat alone, do you want to have a bite too?"

Youyou in the mirror took two steps back in fear.

"Uh, let's not eat this... and I can't eat it in this state."

"Yeah?"

As he spoke, Luo Yan held the skewers in his hand and wiped some on his mouth, "That's a pity...it's actually quite delicious."

At this moment, "Bond", who was sitting beside him with his head drooped, suddenly opened his pale eyes and let out a hissing growl.

"What's wrong, Bond? Are you shocked by my cooking skills? Or... did you smell a living person?"

Luo Yan smiled brightly, but his eyes gradually turned cold, and his hand was on the wand.

He and Jack agreed on the delivery of the goods at sunset tomorrow evening.

This is not just two hours earlier, but a whole day earlier.

"Master Demon...what happened?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe it's an assassin."

The man's aura was very weak, he must be a master at hiding his aura.

Not only that, that person was also very agile and actually managed to avoid the warning magic circle he had set up around the hotel!

If the zombies he summoned hadn't smelled the breath of living people, he might not have noticed it until now!

Living outside all the time is still too risky.

Luo Yan stood up calmly, pretended to be in a hurry to pee, and ran to the corner. At the same time, he ordered Bond to restrain his breath and wait until the target showed up before taking action.

After finishing these things, he held a lens in his hand and motioned Youyou to stand outside and report back what he saw.

Maybe I can't wait.

Not long after he left, the figure hiding in the dark suddenly emerged and ran straight towards the fire he had built.

Are you planning to poison the food?

Haha, nice plan.

But unfortunately, he still has a backup plan.

Just as Luo Yan was thinking this, the swift figure snatched the string of rat tails that was stuck next to the fire, stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, and started making "Awooo Awooo" sounds.

Looking at the cat ears swaying in the lens and the wooden sticks making squeaking sounds from being chewed, Luo Yan was stunned.

This is……

Demon?! This guy is from hell too?! - (Damn masked torture, tricked me into reading. If it wasn’t a new book, I would have asked for leave. TT)
