From star abyss

Closed beta is about to start.

As soon as this statement came out, there was a carnival like a tsunami in the live broadcast room. As for how many players among them will actually purchase gaming equipment, it is unknown.

Li Aozi took a look at the forum and realized that Brother Youdong had already estimated that all the 5,000 people with qualifications for the closed beta test had been snatched up immediately. Except for the clubs of established professional players, most of them had been taken away by some public institutions and state-owned enterprises.

In fact, according to Li Ozi's memory, there were at least 200 professional soldiers among the first batch of closed beta players. Later, when the civil war started in version 9.0, the number increased to 15,000.

These military players have unified training, confidential tasks, orders and prohibitions, and are very strict when going out to level up. Compared with soldiers, professional players can only have better marksmanship, body skills, and thinking. If they really fight, professional players will follow the soldiers. Brother, there is no comparison.

But military players will not be Li Ozi's main customers. War requires logistical support, weapons and equipment are durable, and jewelry equipment will not be purchased in large quantities.

The purpose of professional players is to win games and gain popularity, and clubs and sponsors are behind the money.

So Li Aozi logged into the forum and took a look at the four large clubs that had officially announced that they had obtained the quota for internal testing: Jiangcheng Yanyu, Braised Beef Noodles, Xiangxiang Chicken and Lao Ganye.

"It's still a competition between these four dishes." Li Aozi said regretfully.

In the previous life, the first season of Yanxia District did not play well. After all, Azure Star is a civilization on the technological side. In the early stage, it fought with various magical and mysterious civilizations. It was not familiar with the opponent's situation, and the players were not very adaptable. It is understandable - but these four clubs Among them, there are three teams whose sponsors sell food. They have not made it to the top 16 in two seasons. They have been criticized and ridiculed that "the players in the hot summer area are just garnishes for meals."

The reform of the Yanxia District was after version 3.0. After entering the universe, professional players experienced the fighting styles of major civilizations in the universe, and this was the first time they reached the top eight.

Just when Li Aozi started thinking about how to open up the market of internal beta players, suddenly, another post appeared on the forum, and the popularity quickly increased.

[Breaking news: The veteran e-sports team ‘Qiongyu’ has obtained two places for internal testing! Expected to be assigned to former World of Prey championship teams. 】

"oh?"

Li Ozi became interested:

"The Qiongyu Club in the previous life did not get a place in the closed beta, and its subsequent focus was not on the field of "Star Abyss". The official establishment of the branch will be after 10.0."

Closed beta means entering the game earlier and faster than others, and being able to reach the upper limit of the closed beta level first.

From this point of view, Li Ozi's estimation that he entered the game two years ahead of the players is not very rigorous. According to the time flow rate, the arrival of the closed beta players will have to be three months later, which is April 221 of Azure Star. moon.

Although it seems that players came into contact with the game a year earlier than in previous lives, it is almost the same without the cooldown period of death and trial and error.

The official public beta is still 226 years away. For Li Aozi, it is almost five years from now.

"Five years is not enough time, but it is enough to overturn an era."

The current host was giving a speech that was long, stinking, and made people sleepy. Li Aozi didn't even bother to listen. He chose to watch the users in the forum talking about it.

"Star Abyss" has been particularly discussed.

They are full of expectations for the plot and gameplay of the game. The popular game "World of Prey" currently on the market focuses on competitive confrontation. This kind of game actually has limited appeal to most entertainment players, but "Star Abyss" has a unique positioning. It was originally aimed at 'electronic immigration', and many players have begun to discuss whether real-life economic theory and technology can be applied to it.

During this exchange, in the live broadcast room, the chatty host finally finished speaking about the scene and marketing plan. Executive Director Luo Ming stepped aside and opened the big screen and explained:

"Next, please enjoy the promotional PV of the closed beta version produced by our company. Special thanks to the players of Yanxia Kingdom who have provided strong support for the planning of "Star Abyss". We will set up an independent novice area - Azure Star, as a server and map. Provide play for players.”

coming.

Li Ozi's reaction was similar to that of the barrage: he suddenly cut to the screen, zoomed in to full screen, and watched the promotional video with all his concentration.

————————

In the frosty sky, a lightless sky shrouds the earth.

The drone quickly lifted up and flew over the freezing snowfield.

Horrifying deformed evil beasts are rampant, and the red-black sky is filled with restless fetal breath.

"Welcome to the Blue Star! A planet without sunshine, but never short of ice, frost and snow."

The emotionless mechanical synthesized sound is mixed with rustling sounds, like a lonely radio broadcasting in the apocalypse.

"As you can see, the red and black clouds called 'Esha' have enveloped the sky and completely blocked the entire planet. Human beings have lost the ability and qualification to go to the universe."

Frozen statues collapsed randomly on the roadside, passing through the seabed frozen into icebergs. The killer whales and dolphins that jumped out of the water were frozen in the ice, frozen forever.

The astronaut and his spaceship crashed into the snow, and the arrogant and deformed monsters trampled the heroes of the old era under their feet. Human civilization looked ridiculous in front of nature.

Snowflakes mixed with sandstorm gravel, accompanied by the thunder of red and black clouds, exaggerate the atmosphere of despair and indifference to the extreme.

"Losing oil, losing industry, losing sunshine, losing everything."

The perspective flies quickly, heading towards the long night, as if darkness is the final destination.

"Yet in this frozen land, humans still exist."

Sudden——

A raging fire ignited the night, and the nuclear fusion reactor supplied energy, erecting a barrier against the blizzard. The mortals fighting against nature put on exoskeleton armor, electronic prosthetic eyes moved dexterously, picked up the Kalashnikov rifle, and aimed Kill the deformed and powerful beast and pull the trigger.

boom!

The fire splashed, and the flying bullet turned into a scarlet arrow, piercing a stack of thick unequal treaties and penetrating the enemy's capital territory. The marshal in red and black military uniforms turned his head indifferently, revealing his arrogance and fierceness. look.

"In the old days, that gentle and kind country that was invaded and ceded territory to pay compensation has been reborn. She abandoned all the goodness in the past, put on an iron-blooded crown, and turned it into a red arrow that shot into the heart of the enemy. All the shackles of inequality of the past are torn to pieces.”

The mechanized steel frenzy swept across the world, and exquisite mobile armor was dropped from high altitudes to the ground. It immediately became invisible and disappeared, and then tore apart ferocious lines of fire across the mountains and plains.

The aloof king behind the scenes raised his fingertips - the cold outside world was immediately lit up by the flames and light of the hydrogen bomb.

"The Red Arrow Empire - it is the new overlord that launches revenge on the old world. Those countries that brought injustice and oppression to the Red Arrow in the past will eventually be trampled by the torrent of steel under the leadership of the emperor."

On the desolate battlefield, a male 'mechanic' wearing a military coat and with a large number of cold data chains wrapped around his body slowly walked into the battlefield. The destroyed armored vehicles and drones seemed to be undead. In an instant, They were all awakened, and they struggled. Under the infusion of data flow, the scrapped engine restarted and assembled a mechanical army on its own, closely following his footsteps.

"Steel, aluminum alloy, tungsten steel, machinery, data links - the accumulation and development of the Red Arrow Empire through hard work and hard work have allowed these resources to nurture the weak [Mechanic], and the full war potential can be released - as an [Armourer], Control the weapons of war and regain for the empire the territory that was once ceded by the incompetent. For the empire, there will be endless mechanical slaves!"

Just as the [Armourer] was going on a killing spree, the screen suddenly turned to a crying and screaming soldier on the ground. His legs were blown off by a bomb, and his left eye was blinded by shrapnel. The cold trench was filled with condensation. Seeing the corpses of his comrades, he shouted for help, but he was answered by a group of enemy soldiers slowly approaching.

call out--

The nano silk thread instantly raised a large net, and the entire team was wiped out in an instant. Before the Red Arrow soldier fell to the ground, he was surprised, and a big hand covered with thick white armor pressed down on his shoulder.

The soldier raised his head. A nano-infusion tube pierced his vein. A large amount of life force was continuously injected into his body. The wound healed. A small drone dragged him up and flew towards a safe position. He He raised his head excitedly, wanting to thank the other party, but all he saw was a figure wearing a white cloak running towards the battlefield - the cloak was held up by the wind, like outstretched wings.

"If there is no god in the world, then I will save you on behalf of the angels - become a [healer], put on indestructible armor and rush to the front line, and use your strong vitality to save the children of each family. You You gave up your firearms, but the nano tentacles you used to heal others were also the protective blades you used to take away the butcher’s life.”

The picture turned again, flashing past the technologically-rich Red Arrow Street and the city center, the prosperous empire and the busy backs of the people. Even in the city, high-rise buildings were rising from the ground, and more and more young people were tired at work. The more it goes on, it seems that this is not only praising the good times, but also laying some shadows.

"If you are more eager for the essence of gunpowder and martial arts, Tianhuan Kingdom - this is the place closest to your dream."

The shadow was torn apart by the slender katana, and the cherry blossoms slowly fell, floating in the water, and flowed into the abyss of no return together with the corpses and armored debris floating down from the upper reaches.

The samurai in suits sat on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, drinking sake, while the civilians kneeling on the ground and shivering like lambs showed off the sharpness of their swords.

laugh--

Blood flowed and splashed on the screen wall, and then dyed a gorgeous ukiyo-e.

"The Tianhuan Kingdom retains the most exquisite martial arts skills. This country has explored the power of cold weapons and the human body to a new level. The killers named [Samurai] enjoy the excellent privileges, but they are still not satisfied. They keep saying He talks about doing it for the country, but the sword in his hand never seems to hesitate to cut off the necks of mortals."

Speaking of which, you don’t need to look for the prototype of Red Arrow.

It's Crimson. I'm too good at it. I operate randomly. I used the German method to cede territory and give the compensation to the big brothers around me. Then I turned on the modifier in a rage.

This was the inspiration for the Red Arrow Empire.
