Lord of Plenty

"Ding! The game "Lord of Harvest" you reserved will officially start internal testing at 8 o'clock tonight in Kyoto time. Please log in to the game in time and conduct testing work..."

Xu Zhiyuan, who had just come back from the bathroom and wiped his head with a towel, looked at the text message that suddenly popped up on his phone and was stunned for a second. When did he reserve the game?

Oh, I remember that someone suddenly did a game promotion outside Haicheng University a few days ago, saying that as long as you help the game studio test the game for 30 hours, you will get the latest VR glasses.

As a junior high school student at Haicheng University, Xu Zhiyuan would never participate in such an obviously deceptive activity, but who made the guy who did the promotion look so miserable that people couldn't bear to refuse.

Pale face, skinny, bald head that couldn't be covered by a hat, a miserable look of dying, and having to promote those unscrupulous game manufacturers in the cold wind, Xu Zhiyuan softened his heart and left his personal information while being excited.

Of course, he was careful and only filled in the address of Haicheng University.

But it seems that he was cheated. The game itself is 198, which is not too expensive, but the company that produced it is unknown, some kind of Paradise Game Studio.

And the VR glasses that were promised to be given away have not been seen for a long time. If he bought the game, but couldn't play the game because he didn't have the matching VR glasses, or didn't complete the test task, would he be blackmailed by the other party?

These days, the most unacceptable thing is to be a good person and do good things.

Shaking his head, Xu Zhiyuan threw the phone back on the bed and turned around to forget about it.

Until the afternoon, he suddenly received a message from the courier that the valuable electronic products needed to be signed in person.

"It's still cash on delivery. Is this game studio so stingy?"

Xu Zhiyuan hurried back to the guard to sign for the express delivery with an embarrassed look on his face. He looked at the item and found it was a VR glasses of unknown brand. It could be turned on normally. There was a logo that looked like a feather or a tree on the edge of the glasses, and the words "Le Tu Game" were engraved below. It was probably worth about a thousand yuan.

If the machine was really given away for free, and it was enough to buy a game and test it for 30 hours, then this game studio was quite generous.

But what kind of operation is this?

VR glasses were given away, but it was cash on delivery.

A rich man ordered two cups of soy milk in the morning, and he drank one cup and poured one cup, right?

I always feel that the boss of this game studio is the kind of guy who spends money on the handle of a knife. Can such a person really make a good game?

After returning to the dormitory with the express delivery, his roommate immediately sent a game team invitation for a popular online game. After thinking about it, Xu Zhiyuan still rejected this tempting proposal.

He is the type of person who either does it or does it the best. Since he has received a gift from someone, he should also do a good job of testing the game.

Put on VR glasses, log in to the game website, find the corresponding game icon, click to buy, pay, download, all in one go.

"I don't know if the game is big in China, but don't download it for 24 hours with the Internet speed in the dormitory?"

As a result, 24 hours is obviously not enough. The game body was downloaded in just two minutes. The speed was so fast that Xu Zhiyuan once thought he was dazzled.

"What the hell, is this game so small?"

In an era where mobile games often take an hour to download, and large online games take seven or eight hours to download, it is normal. There are games that only take two minutes to download?

A feeling of being fooled arises spontaneously.

Xu Zhiyuan quickly logged into other games he bought on the game website, those games that can be played on normal computers and VR glasses, and found that these games can run normally.

"It's really strange. It turns out that they didn't use fake VR glasses to trick people into buying games. But what the hell is this game with a size of only 300MB? Are the download packages full of game textures?"

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Zhiyuan watched and downloaded some movies in the VR glasses. Don't say, this small brand of VR glasses is quite useful.

After watching the movie, the takeaway arrived. After eating hurriedly, Xu Zhiyuan lay on the bed and played the game. He accidentally played past the time. It was already 8:30.

In fact, according to the guy who promoted the game at that time, it only took one month to complete the test game, but Xu Zhiyuan, who was a little curious about the game, started the game as soon as possible.

The screen in front of him suddenly went black, and in the picture, a hand slowly stretched out from the darkness. The palm loosened, and a shriveled seed fell with it. The seed that fell into the soil germinated instantly.

"It seems to be the opening CG of the game."

The next scene is a bird's-eye view of the sky. On one side is a lush ancient forest, and on the other side is a scorched land of death. In the middle of the two is a vast plain, which seems to have traces of human habitation.

Then the perspective quickly falls and converges. Green, golden, dark red, and colorful farmlands are neatly arranged on both sides of the river valley. Farmers with headscarves wrapped around their heads and old men are catching insects and watering the fields.

On the other side of the river valley, there are strong workers with tanned faces swinging their axes high and cutting down those old fir trees.

There are also workers, carrying or using simple roller tools along a flat road to transport the wood cut down by the lumberjacks.

The scene changed to a beautiful town still under construction. Everyone was doing their own work, building, boiling water, forging iron, preparing medicine, making clothes...

It presented a busy and lively scene. At the end of the town, a not-too-high black castle could be vaguely seen.

The scene changed again, this time it was a scene of an ancient forest, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, beasts and rare birds, and then the scene darkened, the perspective lifted, and a winged monster with a body that blocked the sky and covered with scales all over the body flapped its wings, and a glimpse of it in the sky.

Then there were the cute little people living in this terrible forest, building their own homes on a tree, mysterious and fantastic.

The end of the game opening animation was a sacred giant tree growing in a foggy space, with golden apples on the tree and a rainbow-colored pool under the tree, like a holy scene on earth.

The next second, the space darkened, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes were hidden in the mist, like a demon peeping at the world in secret.

Since then, the game opening CG has officially ended.

Xu Zhiyuan was somewhat shocked by the realism of the game opening CG, as if it was shot with a high-definition camera against his face. It was hard to believe that an unknown game studio could produce such a sophisticated game CG.

"Even if the game is not fun, it's okay to switch to CG."

After saying that, Xu Zhiyuan himself was also happy.

It was also difficult for the game manufacturer to compress such a high-definition game opening CG into a size of several hundred megabytes. As for the game, he no longer had any expectations for it.

"Please enter the game nickname."

"Xu Niangniang."

This is his nickname, but it is not because he behaves like a woman, but because he always plays female characters in games. In the game, his friends nicknamed him "Niangniang". He simply named his game characters this name after that.

"Please select the character race."

Three options for the initial race appeared in front of Xu Zhiyuan, human, elf, and dwarf.

"This character map is quite unique, let's go with the elf."

Xu Zhiyuan, who is a bit obsessed with appearance, made his choice without hesitation.

"Please select gender."

"Female."

"Please create an appearance for your character."

"Wafu, not only the face, but also the height, even the measurements can be set by yourself? Is this game really a serious game?"

Xu Zhiyuan spent a whole hour with great interest to create a perfect appearance for his character.

"Please select your basic talent attributes."

There are only four talent attributes for game characters, spirit, physique, magic, and fighting spirit, and Xu Zhiyuan can freely allocate only 30 points.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhiyuan invested 12 points in spirit and magic talents respectively, and the remaining 6 points in physique.

"Are you sure to create the character? (Note: After the character is created, the original parameters cannot be changed unless the file is deleted)"

"OK."

The character in front of him slowly dissipated like sand, and then a golden magic circle appeared in front of Xu Zhiyuan. The magic circle rotated, and a golden line came from the void. The next second, Xu Zhiyuan, who was lying on the bed, fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the most basic biological instinct, breathing.

The eyes went dark, and a sense of weightlessness came over him, as if his consciousness was falling down, falling down, and then there was a strong feeling of suffocation.

"Help, help, I can't swim!"

Xu Zhiyuan, who felt his body again, struggled desperately in the shallow pool. After struggling to climb ashore, he turned around and found that the pool was only a shallow layer, which was even shallower than the children's swimming pool.

He just fell face down and choked on the water, so he didn't notice it at the first time.

Two red clouds appeared on his beautiful face. Before he realized that he seemed to have come to some strange place, Xu Zhiyuan found that not far away, there was a handsome foreign guy, staring at him with a smile, and then threw him a linen dress.

It turned out to be women's clothing!

"Hey, no men's clothes? Do you have any weird habits? Hey, my voice?"

Xu Zhiyuan covered his mouth tightly. It was a very pleasant female voice. Xu Zhiyuan looked down in disbelief. The proud figure, the smooth skin like mutton-fat jade, the round and cute toes...

Everything was perfect. This was a beautiful body that could make any man crazy and all women jealous.

It was just nonsense.

"..."

What the hell?

Xu Zhiyuan, who had been petrified beside the reincarnation pool, felt that he was about to break apart.
