Game of the World Tree

"Haha! I won!"

Blue Star, Celestial Dynasty, Second Ring of Imperial Capital, in an ordinary residential building.

A boy who looked seventeen or eighteen looked excitedly at the text messages on his mobile phone, and his brows were beaming.

The boy's name is Ji Dong, a high school graduating dog who has just completed the college entrance examination and is waiting for college admission, and is currently staying at home.

After the college entrance examination, he was given the most popular sneak pod by his father and mother as a reward for being admitted to the Great Emperor.

Now, this person is addicted to virtual games, unable to extricate himself...

I saw him hugging his smartphone, overjoyed, and happily rolling around on the bed.

The content of the mobile phone message is very simple:

"Congratulations! You have been selected to become the third batch of internal beta players of "Even Kingdom"! The invitation code is: 130-114-504."

The third batch of closed beta players of "Elf Kingdom"!

He couldn't help but be surprised.

"Even Kingdom" is a cross-generational virtual online game that has suddenly become popular in the past few months, and it has become popular in the entire Chinese Internet.

This virtual mmorpg, which uses a lot of black technology, has already relied on its unique thinking acceleration technology, game modeling and physics engine, anthropomorphic NPC system, crazy-fine settings and game details, and ultra-high The degree of freedom and participation, while leaving similar games far behind, has become a topic of discussion in the game industry...

In the industry, some people even joked that this is simply a game that travels through another world, an alien conspiracy.

As early as before the college entrance examination was over, Ji Dong saw a video about this game from the bullet screen video online, and was very interested in "Elf Kingdom".

Unfortunately, he was preparing for the test when he signed up for the first test.

However, even if he did not prepare for the test in the first test, it would be difficult for him to become the first batch of internal test players.

Without him, this game, which has been praised by many anchors and professional players as a masterpiece in the industry, has too few places in the closed beta.

For example, in the first internal test, a total of 300 players were recruited, and nearly 800,000 people signed up!

It's really a one-in-a-million choice, and almost all the people who can be selected are the European emperors.

The second closed beta expanded the scale of players, recruiting a total of 900 people.

And Ji Dong, who had just finished the college entrance examination at that time, also chose to apply for the first time.

It's just that the number of applicants for the second test is even more exaggerated. Although the number of people recruited has increased to 900, the number of people who signed up for the second test is actually 3 million!

As a result, the probability of being drawn is even smaller...

Ji Dong also naturally lost the election.

After another period of time, the official finally announced the third closed beta.

This time, "Even Kingdom" directly released 9,000 places!

This can make many people excited. These days, many netizens get up early every day and the first thing they do is to refresh the official website forum of "Elf Kingdom".

And Ji Dong, who was overjoyed, also chose to sign up again!

However, when he saw the sentence "You are the 14th, 346th, 755th player who signed up for "Even Kingdom", thank you for your participation" after signing up, his heart went cold...

There are more places, but more people are signing up!

What the hell is the 14 million sign ups? !

It's too creepy, isn't it?

Although the invention of the stealth pod and the advent of the virtual network era opened a new door in the game industry, the highest number of online players in virtual network games broke the record of 10 million a year ago...

But the virtual reality game that can reach tens of millions of applicants in the first test stage... is really unprecedented!

And you must know that when Ji Dong signed up, it was not the last day to sign up...

When the deadline for registration was reached, the total number of registrations for the three tests of "The Kingdom of the Elf" had already exceeded 20 million!

It is said that there are even many foreign netizens here...

After watching the game videos posted by Chinese netizens to show off on the Internet, they specially tried their best to get over the wall and sign up in China.

Good games are popular everywhere.

Not to mention the Celestial Dynasty, which was the first to develop a sneak pod and entered the virtual era, the quality of the game videos of "Elf Kingdom" has completely crushed those virtual online games abroad!

And the magic theme is more popular with foreign gamers, and naturally it has been their strong curiosity and enthusiastic pursuit...

There are even many foreign game gods who strongly demand that "Elf Kingdom" open the international test server.

It's just a pity that the always low-key "Elf Kingdom" official never made a reply to this.

In the end, the number of applicants for the third test of "Even Kingdom" reached a terrifying 22 million!

Although proportionally speaking, the chances are more than the second test, but it is still very scary!

Not to mention one in ten thousand miles, one in thousands...

However, this time, Ji Dong is about to turn around.

Just when he felt that he had no hope, he actually received a text message that he was selected and became one of the 9,000 lucky ones!

...

July 25, 12 noon.

Ji Dong, who has already smashed all kinds of strategy posts on the official forum and has done his homework, finally ushered in the third internal test of "Elf Kingdom" in the eager wait!

He looked at the time, couldn't wait to enter the game cabin, and opened the "Elf Kingdom" that he had already ordered.

"Activate... the kingdom of elves!"

...

Resurrection coins? Exchange system? Red name mechanism? Pinch your face?

Ji Dong was slightly taken aback.

These things sounded familiar to him because he had done some homework in advance.

But because he was a novice again, he felt a little unfamiliar...

However, he didn't care too much.

Along with the melodious music, Ji Dong's eyes darkened and then brightened.

He felt a sudden trance of consciousness, the sense of gravity suddenly changed, and then came to the character creation interface.

"Come in!"

Ji Dong was overjoyed.

The only races that can be selected in "Even Kingdom" are elves, but the appearance can be set by yourself.

It's just that Ji Dong doesn't understand why he still needs to score when he pinch his face, and even if the score is low, he doesn't allow him to create characters...

"Is it to prevent someone from making their faces too ugly? Is the official too obsessive? Ugly is ugly, what's the matter..."

Ji Dong complained.

Of course, he will definitely pinch his face well.

After all, playing a game, who doesn't like the characters to be more handsome, it's like raising a daughter and raising a son.

Except for some weird players.

After spending half an hour pinching a handsome face that made him very satisfied, and being scored 65 points by the system, Ji Dong chose to confirm.

And his game nickname is called "Transformation Ji Gang"!

When the screen went dark, Ji Dong officially entered the game!

With a sudden sway of consciousness, an indescribable sense of weightlessness poured into Ji Dong's heart, and a cutscene of the kingdom of elves began to play in his field of vision.

This cutscene Ji Dong has seen countless times on the bullet screen video online, so he subconsciously plans to skip it.

It's just a ghost, and he finally suppressed his impatient mood and decided to watch it again...

Accompanied by the familiar and pleasant music, picturesque scenes appeared in front of Ji Dong's eyes.

The majestic world tree, the beautiful elf city, the glorious silver civilization, and... the pitiful battle of the gods.

Ji Dong, who has seen this plot countless times, is already familiar with it.

However, Ji Dong noticed that the plot seemed to have been edited a lot more than what was circulated on the Internet, making it shorter.

"Cutscenes cut?"

Ji Dong was a little curious.

However, at the end of the war of the gods, the world tree withered, and he also thought that the opening plot was about to end...

The style of the entire cutscene has suddenly changed!

The plot doesn't end.

The background music gradually became exciting and majestic, and the animation of the plot showed an unprecedented picture——

The prayer of the Holy Maiden, the light on the majestic world tree is shining!

For a time, three hundred Heavenly Chosen came one after another!

They shuttled through the forest and fought with monsters; they explored the ruins and fought with goblins; they defeated the incarnation of the gods and recovered the holy city of emeralds; city!

Then... the 900 Heavenly Chosen came for the second time!

They defeated the hunting party of the orcs and rescued the returning elves; they fought side by side with the subdued black dragon and fought the orcs...

The forest of elves is restored, the incarnation of the goddess comes, the world tree is revived, and all things worship...

The footsteps of the Chosen began to step out of the forest!

They explore Rivendell and conquer the Queen of Crypt Spiders...

They go deep into the underworld and befriend the dark dwarves...

Looking at the splendid pictures and plots, and listening to the exciting background music, Ji Dong opened his mouth in shock.

As a game fan who often browses the game videos of "The Kingdom of the Elf", Ji Dong naturally knows that these clips... these animations...

It is the game plot experienced by the first and second batch of internal beta players!

The official of "Nation of the Elf" actually made the players' game clips into the cutscenes of the third closed beta!

Not only that, these clips are in harmony with the previous cutscenes, and the connection is just right, as if it really is an epic legend!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a story drawn by players and a magical movie starring players!

For a time, Ji Dong felt a heavy sense of epic and participation rushing towards him...

At the end of the picture, his vision suddenly darkened.

A line of golden characters came into his eyes:

"The Chosen One, are you ready?"

At that moment, Ji Dong felt his blood boil.
