Chapter 7: The Game is Fully Revealed!
The first thing Chen Ye did upon waking up was to log into the game to check the situation, but he was astonished as soon as he entered the game.
"What is this?"
Looking around, Chen Ye saw several huts made of mud and sticks that suddenly appeared on the empty plain.
There was a fire burning around the huts, with some grass fish being roasted beside it.
But that was not all.
What really puzzled Chen Ye were the small mud kilns on the ground emitting thick smoke.
"Is this burning... charcoal?"
What are these players up to?
Chen Ye saw and sensed the movements of ten players directly.
Some players were fishing by the lake, while others were picking branches and wild vegetables in the woods...
Plus tree cutting?
Cutting trees?
Hmm?
Looking around, Chen Ye saw almost all players in the forest were using rocks to cut down trees!
They sharpened the rocks to make them sharp, without tying anything they directly dug at trees!
The key is they kept getting more enthusiastic the more they cut?
"You bunch of closed beta players aren't progressing in the game, but are busy with construction here?"
Chen Ye felt helpless, as he underestimated the enthusiasm of local players for infrastructure development.
If he had known earlier, he would have just made a survival-building game!
However, it's not too late now.
Why not just demolish Tower of Seals to give players more land?
"No, if it's just a survival-building game, it won't make much impact, right?"
"Maybe we should weaken the monsters now, reduce the game difficulty, and enhance the gaming combat experience."
"Or we could increase rewards for killing monsters, to stimulate players' desire to fight."
"Or, shamelessly, why not do both strategies?"
"Or else this will truly become a survival-building game."
"No, as a planner, how can I make trouble for myself over a little thing? Let's start from the simple and practical aspects."
"Got it!"
"Since you all like farming so much, I'll sell land."
"100 copper coins for 1 square meter of land, with a height limit of 50 meters above and below the plot. That's the temporary decision for now."
"Items inside the land are private for the players and cannot be taken by others. Other people are not allowed to enter the land without the player's permission."
"Let's add the friend and team functions..."
"Done."
"But we can't let players buy land randomly. Let's think about the future players and also promote player battles by adding a title system."
"A regular adventurer can only buy up to 10 square meters of land, while a bronze adventurer can buy 50 square meters of land."
"The silver adventurer can buy land of 100 square meters, for now let's just focus on these three levels."
"As for how to advance..."
"To advance from a normal adventurer to bronze level, you need 1000 copper coins, plus 1000 reputation points."
"A bronze adventurer needs 5000 copper coins and 5000 reputation points to advance to silver class."
"And as for how to earn copper coins and reputation points, of course, you have to defeat monsters!"
。。。
Five days later.
Ten alpha testers were still deeply immersed in the joy of farming and developing the land.
Not a single person chose to enter the Tower of Seals.
They even deliberately searched online for a lot of information, and even consulted professionals!
This includes how to make clay bricks, how to set up fish traps, how to build a simple shelter in the wild, and so on.
After three days of fermentation, some players started promoting this game to the public.
Fang Ze is one of them. He personally wrote a post and even recorded the actual gameplay!
Whether in videos or posts, he repeatedly emphasized that this is real, he's not crazy!
Because when most netizens heard about a game that is 100% real, their first reaction was disbelief.
This is normal, as Fang Ze's first reaction at the time was also disbelief.
He ignored those who privately messaged him saying he's crazy or a fraud.
He just quietly started a live stream.
But some people still say that Fang Ze and his friends just set up a scene in the wild!
But when they saw the Tower of Seals, all the rumors were instantly debunked!
The Tower of Seals is not something made by humans, let alone a special effect!
Besides, Fang Ze also started a live broadcast in real life, logging into the game in front of everyone!
Everyone fell silent.
The next day, posts flooded the headlines and forums!
What a shock! A certain blogger accepted an invitation, only to unexpectedly enter...
Is the game of the future finally here?
The Sealed Land, a game of revolutionary nature!
Humans have entered the era of virtual reality!
Is the brain in the tank no longer a warning?
One hundred percent real!
Fully immersive holographic games!
Virtual reality is no longer a dream!
Seeing these posts and news, almost the entire world is experiencing an unprecedented riot at the same time!
"I don't care, I don't believe it, unless you let me play it!"
"As long as I haven't played the game, then this game is fake!"
"Isn't this just staged, stop using reality to deceive me!"
"Does anyone influential know what kind of reality show this is?"
"Reality show my foot, didn't you see that the blogger had two cameras in the video, one showing his real-life situation and the other showing his in-game situation!"
"But the blogger has moved in real life, right?"
"Because this game involves entering with consciousness, not needing the body to control."
"My guess is that the principle is similar to dreaming."
"How can there be such an honest person, funny."
"Unreasonable!"
"With this kind of technology, why make this kind of game, shouldn't it be making r18 games instead!"
"The person above, you understand games."
"Ahem, could the brothers upstairs come down for a chat?"
"Do you want to hear what you are talking about?"
"By the way, can we create female characters in this game?"
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
(Oh no! x99+)
"9！"
"The person on the 6th floor has turned over."
"Vulgar, noticed, dog head jpg."
。。。
And as the news of The Sealed Land spread, some domestic and foreign companies were instantly excited!
"Check, quickly find out which company made the game, invest, my company must invest, price is not a problem!"
"This kind of technology, impossible, absolutely impossible, the technology that we cannot achieve, how could they achieve it?!"
"Find out where their server base station is!"
"This kind of technology must have been developed by my beautiful country, I want to obtain all the information from the other party within five minutes!"
。。。
The internet was abuzz with activity, but Chen Ye completely ignored it.
Let these people investigate, no matter how hard they try, they won't be able to find Chen Ye.
Chen Ye purposely added the function to connect the game to the internet.
The main reason is to be able to communicate with the outside world using an IP address that cannot be traced within the game.
Chen Ye used this method to contact Fang Ze before.
"It's time to announce the game update."
