Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Players’ Forum

[Shocking! A certain game company said this to attract players!]

[Can someone awesome explain what "Mystical Mechanism" is like?]

[High-price acquisition of "Mystical Mechanism" beta accounts, just a small goal!]

[Qingcheng Guild is recruiting! The president and vice president are all single rich women~]

[Those who relish game meat, is your precious mother still around?]

········

Looking at one post after another, Liang Yi nodded contentedly.

This has that certain flavor!

But it seems he only has browsing privileges, with no ability to post comments.

"Did that damn admin mute me? And permanently?" was Liang Yi’s first thought, but he immediately dismissed it.

The administration of the gamer’s forums is said to report directly to the game company, and apart from issuing update announcements, the game company is virtually inactive, like playing dead every day. Sometimes the forums could be up in arms, and nobody would care.

"Lots of old acquaintances!" Liang Yi excitedly clicked through each post, spotting many familiar IDs among the multitude of posters.

Take, for instance, the Qingcheng Guild; both the president and vice president claimed to be single rich women, but were just a couple of rich second-generation boys.

Their favorite pastime in the game was to play female characters and pretend to be girls, swindling countless people around, all the while justifying it by saying, "Men not playing female characters would what, play men instead?"

They certainly were rich, that was true, having requested Liang Yi’s help to open the Secret Realm numerous times. He really didn’t understand the hobbies of the wealthy.

But "Mystical Mechanism" stipulated: Players can only create characters of their own gender.

This effectively preempted the existence of gender-bending characters at the root.

It was only after the beta test started that Qingcheng Guild realized that the two big shots who had been sending out benefits with sweet voices in the group chat every day were actually men.

Some members who were close to them expressed:

"Ah, you were actually a boy! Then let’s not keep in touch anymore!"

Of course, there were also special cases:

"Oh? Boys? Isn’t that even better?"

This turned into a medium-sized hot topic in the forums during the beta, which Liang Yi also heard about at the time.

As for other familiar IDs, there were professional gamers, game streamers, presidents of super guilds, and even masters who had competed with Liang Yi. Seeing these names brought back memories of his past interactions with them, making Liang Yi quite sentimental.

Most players still wanted to know the specifics of the game; the official website only introduced the general concept of a fantasy world without disclosing any specific gameplay. The bit of information released by the officials was almost as good as none.

Initially, Liang Yi also came to the forums hoping to find some game strategies to have a focused development in the game but ended up leaving disappointed.

There were game strategies, yes, but they were made up by the players themselves.

Only a minority are currently posting on the forum, real growth will come after the public beta. Once public beta starts, the number of gamers will begin to multiply by leaps and bounds.

Liang Yi casually clicked into the top-ranked, most popular post.

[Shocking! A gaming company made such a statement to attract players!]

"I believe everyone has seen the promotional footage of Mystical Mechanism, and for those who haven’t, I’ve pasted the link at the end, help yourselves. As Tower Master, when I watched it, I was like ’Wow, this light! Ah! This water’ in amazement the entire time."

"As a professional game reviewer, and not to toot my own horn, but just talking about graphics quality, Mystical Mechanism could knock 99.99% of virtual games on the market out of the water, the remaining 0.01% is just Mystical Mechanism itself."

"Moreover, this game boasts a 100% realism, where previously the highest virtual fidelity in games was only about 80%. If the gaming company isn’t just blowing smoke, then this game could be a groundbreaking masterpiece, and we, the players, would be the explorers of a new era!"

"There’s also the marketing rep from the game company who made such bold claims during a program investigation, stating outright that if players find anything in the game that doesn’t match a true immortal fantasy world, they’ll be rewarded with not one but ten ’small goals’!"

"To be honest, Tower Master came here for those ten ’small goals’, who knew I, Sang someone, would also have a day where I get to be a nitpicker."

...

Sang someone’s self-praise that followed did not interest Liang Yi, so he directly skipped to the comments.

Casanova: "Real talk, who here isn’t here for those ten ’small goals’?"

Jiangting Evening Colors: "That guy with the smile that’s not printed on money has allure, what tactics does the gaming company think they’re employing?!"

Porridge Porridge: "+1."

Black Blade Hound: "Ah, who would’ve thought Sang someone, the lofty and proud, would also have their soul corrupted by capitalism. Let’s go find it together, shall we? You bring the manpower, you bring the effort; if we get the prize money, we’ll do a ninety-ten split—I’ll take ninety, you get ten."

Sang someone: "You damned dog, you put my name up on the bounty board for everyone to kill me every day, and you expect me to help you make a fortune? Go fart dream!"

Peak of the Mountain, I am the Summit: "Get ready~ to sing, if this isn’t love then..."

Liang Yi remembered both Sang someone and Black Blade Hound, who were well-known archenemies in the gaming circle. Sang someone often played the roles of game reviewer and Intelligence Dealer in many games, while Black Blade Hound was considered a top player.

In some game, Black Blade Hound got seriously screwed over by Sang someone’s false intelligence and suffered huge losses, so he pinned the blame squarely on Sang someone.

Ever since then, whenever Black Blade Hound saw Sang someone, he would go straight up and slash, not caring if it was in the main city area or not—eat his sword first then talk.

Later, Black Blade Hound felt that killing him alone was not satisfying enough. So, in any game that allowed bounties, Sang someone’s name was perpetually on the list, no need to ask who placed it.

Being constantly hunted down through several games really wore Sang someone out. He tried explaining to Black Blade Hound, resisted, even attempted reconciliation, but the other completely ignored him, just kill on sight, if he can’t find you then hire others to do it.

What can you do with such a stubborn temperament? Sang someone could only retaliate with another bounty. You list me, I list you, both names side by side on the bounty board; you die once, I die once, we meet again at the resurrection spot.

After several games, the entire gaming circle knew about these two archenemies, and netizens commented, "Tell me this isn’t love, then what is?"

Might as well have Sang someone change his name to Black Hound directly, since he gets slashed everyday anyhow. Black Blade Hound and Black Hound, such a fitting pair of couple names.

In Liang Yi’s past life, he had taken up bounty tasks from both sides, playing both ends against the middle was what he enjoyed. Up until the time he transmigrated, the two of them were still at each other’s throats.

When Mystical Mechanism first came out, the promotion was really everywhere. You go to the bathroom, and even the toilet paper was printed with its promotional slogans. How tempting those ten ’small goals’ were goes without saying, just for that 100% realism, the gimmick of a ’second world’ alone had countless people wanting to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the thousand beta testing slots were distributed randomly, and when Liang Yi first got his hands on one, he also considered whether to sell it and make a big profit.

Later he thought about it; he wasn’t in dire need of money, and there really was no need to sell it, so he decided to keep it for his own use.
