[Internal testing is detected, data is being acquired... Data acquisition completed, internal testing time: 12 days]

【This message is forwarded by the system】

"Hmm...internal test..."

Gu Meng began to study the information the system gave him. This should be a rare case of Han Xiao having forgotten the game information but he still remembered it.

Because the internal test time was very short, Han Xiao only remembered it when he received the notification from the game panel that the internal test had started, and he did not prepare anything in advance.

Correspondingly, in order to establish his image as a big boss when he first comes into contact with the players, Gu Meng has made a lot of preparations during this period of time.

When Gu Meng read the novel, he skipped the plot from arriving at Star Dragon to the start of the internal test. Moreover, the novel did not madly throw out the setting of Star Dragon Country. It only described the things around Han Xiao, that is, the things in the Thirteenth Bureau. There was not much description of the forces within the Western Capital.

But it’s not a big problem. Even if he doesn’t have the ability of foresight, Gu Mengquan has built a huge foundation from scratch relying on his spirituality and bug-level magic.

The Dark Lord has become a character that everyone in the inner world of Xidu fears. The bigwigs in Xidu can no longer regard the inner world as pure scum, but as an object that needs to be taken seriously.

Without mentioning the mysterious background, in fact, the magic potion business developed by them also has a tendency to go ashore and launder. Of course, the powerful combat capability, increasingly strict organization and discipline have made Leihuo Sword emerge as a dark horse and become a potential important force in Xidu.

The intelligence collected by the rigid Xidu leaders is always one-sided, and this intelligence is only the part that Gu Meng is willing to reveal. They are now divided into several factions internally. Some want to recruit Gu Meng, while some of the more evil ones have been secretly dealt with by Gu Meng.

Since Gu Meng rarely shows up, it is always the cadres who take the lead. The Thunder Fire Sword is well organized, and Gu Meng has various means to reduce his presence and hide himself. Most people do not realize that the Dark Lord is X and X is the Dark Lord. Some people speculate that the Dark Lord and X may have an unusual relationship, but there is no real evidence.

These messy things took up a lot of Gu Meng's energy, and he was a little tired of it. Gu Meng could do these things, but there was no need. Players were more important now.

This internal test is a two-day internal test activity, and the ratio of game time to real time is 6:1, which is equivalent to twelve days in the game.

The number of places is limited, with a total of 30,000 places... For a normal game, 30,000 people in the internal beta test is already a lot, but for a super blockbuster like "Star Ocean" that is superficially set in the future world, it is of course just a small matter, and basically all the places are taken by large guilds and professional clubs.

The remaining places were drawn by lottery from millions of applicants. Han Xiao didn’t get a place in the internal test that year, so he had forgotten about it.

In fact, after the exchange to reality, the internal test took place one week before the public beta. Converted to game time, it should be only more than a month, but it is not calculated that way. The game world is still more than four months away from the public beta, because when there are no players, the real time and the game time have nothing to do with each other.

Otherwise, each version update will only take two or three days in reality. If it takes longer, the players will be very anxious. However, in Star Ocean, it is impossible to update all major events in only a dozen days. The time span for some version updates in the Star Ocean world is calculated in years.

[NPC template... Functionality partially unlocked!]

[Player Forum Unlocked!]

After Gu Meng studied the various notes forwarded by the system, he waited for a while and two new prompts finally appeared.

Han Xiao next door should have complete NPC functions now. When Gu Meng saw the prompt, it didn't exist at first, and he thought he had completely lost it. Unexpectedly, it still existed in the end, but it was only part of it, and he still needed to study it.

Mumbling… Never mind. Having it is better than having nothing. Besides, Han Xiao doesn’t even have Deep Blue yet. It’s a good deal for me to get an extra template that is not very useful. It’s like I have two sets. And Deep Blue is definitely more simple and crude. In a word, win.

The NPC function that Gu Meng obtained was transferred by Deep Blue, and there was no introduction at all.

Gu Meng studied for a long time and finally opened a new panel. It was the same as the Deep Blue one, with only a lonely panel prompt floating in front of him. It seemed that he had to figure it out on his own.

You should have some of the functions of an NPC for players, such as issuing quests, selling goods, imparting skills, etc.

It can be tried in this internal test. Gu Meng’s task is to guide the players. He has already prepared for the worst. He has thought about the possibility of simply using interests and wisdom to guide the situation as a wise man. Now with the NPC function and forum function, it’s even better!

This time, the 30,000 beta test players are divided into a dozen novice planets, with each planet having about one thousand to two thousand people. The strength of the novice players, one or two thousand people, will not have any impact on the overall situation. This should just be an experiment.

The internal beta test is just an appetizer. The public beta test that will be attended by a large number of players in the future will be the source of chaos.

However, for Gu Meng, the internal test is a good opportunity to verify his hypothesis. As long as he contacts the players, he can test the specific usefulness of the NPC function.

Another tip: [Player Forum], this is the built-in official forum. When players die and wait for resurrection, they will check the forum for entertainment.

On this project, Han Xiao does not have full permissions and cannot speak, so he can only peek at the screen. Gu Meng may have more complete permissions and can speak.

"I didn't expect that I'm stronger in the forum, Han Xiao... It doesn't make sense. These two permissions should be synchronized. I should be less... I understand, is it because my communication magic position has also been integrated and strengthened?"

"But it's not that great. There's a big gap between the starry sky and 'reality'. I'm missing a key. Only when the players come and the real time is connected with the game time, can I open the forum. That's why the forum is unlocked now."

The entrance to the forum is in the corner of the panel. After clicking on it, the common forum interface on the Internet appears in front of you. At this time, there are no posts and it is empty.

Gu Meng looked at the account in the upper right corner. It showed visitor and the registration option was grayed out.

Click [Register] normally, and the prompt that appears is [Detecting the game cabin neural link... No player detected, unable to register.]

But it doesn't matter. Gu Mengsi sneaked in, and a large amount of data and information poured out. With the help of the player forum permissions he was given, some things naturally changed slightly...

When I opened my eyes again, the registration option in the upper right corner had indeed turned green.

Well, from the perspective of the so-called "real world", the official forum stipulates that only players who enter the game cabin can register and post. Visitors can only browse to prevent water armies from polluting the forum environment. If you want to post and reply, you must buy a game cabin, but Gu Meng's hands are dirty now, which is equivalent to a pirated player stealing an empty account and successfully registering it.

"If I can go to the Earth in this world in the future, should I buy a copy of the Star Ocean game? Haha." Gu Meng thought casually.

……

Actually, a lot of things happened during the period before the closed beta test. For example, after Han Xiao joined Bureau 13, he provided intelligence to prompt Star Dragon to accurately attack the Germinal base, and did logistics and gained experience. Then he joined the special agent team, and fought against some scumbags in Bureau 13. He also accepted several assassination attempts by Germinal, including one by Hela.

But every time the team sent by Sprout was just able to be suppressed by Han Xiao or escape, it was just giving away experience. There was nothing much to say, the child of destiny.

As for the fact that Han Xiao escaped from the Sprout's force in the original world line by himself, this time Han Xiao escaped with the alien Gu Meng, and Sprout did not send a stronger force. Sprout also has something to say. Zero is now a member of Bureau 13, and it is difficult to deal with him. Of course, they have to send just the right amount of force.

Moreover, with Gu Meng standing in front this time, both Bureau 13 and Mengya felt that the information Han Xiao revealed must be related to Gu Meng. Han Xiao was just a lubricant between the mysterious X and the Star Dragon officials, which was equivalent to diverting firepower. Mengya also had to focus more on X, and killing Zero was just a side job.

Han Xiao only had to fight against the people in Star Dragon in the Thirteenth Division, but Gu Meng had to consider a lot of things in the rear. It was very hard to develop power and hide at the same time. Brainwashing others would be condemned by conscience, which was very stressful.

Oh, those who brainwash others are bad people, that’s fine.

However, Gu Meng was indeed not idle. The summoned characters had been upgraded to a level close to D-level. There were more and more robots, among which the elite robots were becoming stronger and stronger, and the Thunder and Fire Sword was also making great progress.

Although they didn't produce high-end things like magic towers or temples, they did make a lot of magic workshops and positions. This behavior was actually deeply influenced by the mysterious Gu Mengzhen.

In the later period, the mysterious Gu Meng rarely revealed his true form, and his clones were used to cause trouble, while the mechanical Gu Meng rarely went out, and he remotely summoned creatures and machines, and he had three burrows.

Some anti-divination and anti-fate abilities based on basic settings might be built into the system, which showed that Shenlan also agreed with him to hide.

Without such ability, Weird Gu Meng would be contaminated as soon as he landed. Mechanical Gu Meng guessed that he should have it as well, or he might have been activated after being marked by the mysterious boss Gu Meng.

He remembered that Sprout seemed to have some trump card that could kill people remotely. He had been on guard for a long time, but there was no reaction. He was not the type like Han Xiao who would reveal his threats step by step. He believed that Sprout leader might have used his trump card when he found that he could not chase him for the time being. It seemed to be ineffective. Sprout leader: "Damn aliens, how many abilities do they have that I don't know about!"

The sprouts are real, it was just a false alarm.

"Anyway, since the player has shown up as expected, of course we have to find an opportunity to contact him."

In the darkness, a red light flashed in Gu Meng's eyes, and the black snake slid quietly.

……

The Big Horn Mountain settlement is one of the starting points for novices on Planet Aquamarine.

Kuang Dao Nu Jian's vision blurred, and he was already in a square, with yellow earth under his feet, and the air filled with a rough smell rushed into his nostrils, which was so real that he could even feel the warmth of the sun. He lowered his head and pinched his arm, and the touch of the muscle was almost exactly the same as the real one, which amazed him.

What a high level of technical skills!

Xinghai, awesome!

Next-generation game, Monkey God! Start!

This is a small square with hundreds of players standing around, looking at each other curiously, and you can see the player nicknames above each other's heads.

There were many wooden and stone camps built around. NPCs wearing simple animal skins were roaming around in groups of three or four in the distance, pointing in this direction and seeming to be whispering.

According to the novice guidance when creating a new character, Furious Blade and Furious Sword called up the panel to check the attributes of their own level 1 character. Just like the official website information, a novice three-piece set is given at the beginning of the game, which includes cloth clothes, pants and boots that never drop and have no attributes other than covering their modesty.

Kuang Dao Nu Jian is a little-known professional player who has just entered the professional circle and is still a newbie. When he heard that the International Gaming Alliance had already started preparing for the professional league before "Star Ocean" was released, he paid close attention to it. When the much-anticipated internal test was opened, Kuang Dao Nu Jian asked the club's top management to get him a precious spot in the internal test.

If you are one step ahead of others during the pioneering period, you can be ahead at every step, with your rageful sword and mad sword full of ambition.

Suddenly, he noticed that a guy next to him was trying to take off his pants. He tried for a long time but it was in vain. He looked regretful and said, "I can't ***, bad review!"

Ah, that's what players are like.

The robots that Gu Meng had sent to this settlement in advance could not understand the behavior of these creatures, but they didn't care much either.

The players in the square were talking about it.

“It’s so real.”

"What to do now?"

"Any hints?"

At this time, a "person" who was covered in black, taller than an ordinary person, about 1.9 meters tall, and with somewhat stiff movements, came in front of everyone and said loudly:

"You outsiders, if you want to have enough to eat, then find me a job. We don't welcome idlers in our settlement. Well, the crops in the fields need people to harvest, and the tailor shop and weapon shop in the south also need skilled workers. A batch of goods has just been delivered to the entrance of the settlement, and we need people to load and unload them. In short, as long as you are diligent, you will not starve to death."

Crazy Blade and Furious Sword threw a detection to this "person".

[Based on your level, you get the following information]

[No. 10086/Thunderfire Sword Standard Robot Type 2——Temporary Village Chief of Dajiaoshan Settlement]

[grade:? ]

[Attributes:?]

[You can treat him as the chief of the Novice Village]

[Danger Level: High]

Players have a detection function and can see the name and information of NPCs, but if the level gap is too large, information will be missing.

The color of the NPC's name represents the camp relationship, green is friendly, yellow is neutral, and red is hostile. The danger level is the difference in strength between the player and the target. Current players are all level 1 novices and cannot see the specific attributes of the village chief.

"The weapon shop sells guns, ammunition and melee weapons. There are many people selling food and water in the market. You can rent packhorses at the animal farm to the west. If you want to leave, there is a public transfer train station a few kilometers to the north. If you want to learn various life skills, the blacksmith shop and tailor shop are both good choices..."

Based on the description of the temporary village chief, everyone roughly understood the situation. The settlement could only transfer to a few life secondary occupations and one [Junior Hunter] combat occupation, and they had to spend money to find someone to train them.

In short, these are all very common settings. The only strange setting is... why is the chief of the novice village... a robot?

Whether they are advanced players or ordinary players, an idea came to their minds... there is Mi Mi!
