Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 51 Netizens are restless
Wang Yue, who no longer has his life threatened, has his first holiday. Tomorrow is the time when the internal test will start, and he can take this opportunity to see how the Penguin Company’s promotion is going.

"Agoose, let me see if you are doing your job well."

Although he is in the gaming world, Wang Yue is able to learn about the latest developments through websites and forums. This time he first opened the traditional gaming website 1573, hoping to find reports on his own game.

"That shouldn't be the case. Don't they like to pretend that insiders revealed the information, but in fact it was their own people who took the initiative to release the news?"

Wang Yue glanced at the testing section, which displayed news about major internal and public beta games. Although most of the news was proactively written by game companies, there were still a small number of editors who wrote test experiences.

"Oh, I found it."

In the second half of the section, Wang Yue finally saw the news report about "Heart of Noel".

"The grave of the next MMORPG, the new work of the black-hearted producer Wang Yue"

Even with such a catchy title, the news was still ranked at the end, which only means one thing - Penguin Company did not pay enough.

It’s not that others are stingy, but the games at the top of the list are all sequels to deadly games, or they are news-making games that have been delayed for a long time and then caused some unexpected problems.

“Heart of Nohr uses the latest Unreal Engine 5, which provides a high degree of freedom within the game and is compatible with the latest holographic system, allowing players to truly experience adventures in another world.”

Apart from the title, the news is quite standard. There is no sensational money-making or funny BUG screenshots. Such boring news must have been written by an intern at a cost of no more than 5 cents.

“Written by: Pickle. I remember your name.”

Although the article is boring, it still objectively evaluates the technical strength of "Heart of Nohr".

In the article, Paocai focused on the compatibility processing of the holographic system. The game optimized about 200 touch peripheral points, allowing players to control their characters more delicately.

At the same time, the game can also support desktop machines and mobile controller devices of the previous era. At the lowest picture quality, players only need to have a 3060 graphics card.

"How does this Kimchi know so much? Could he be the young master who has never appeared?"

In the six-person internal evaluation of Penguin, Wang Yue only saw five people from the Fat Cat team.

Although Wang Yue had heard that the sixth person was a relative of the other party, she couldn't think of anyone else who could write such a detailed experience report except him.

"Oh no, it could be other testers watching, or it could be a third party who saw the leaked video. Who cares? They only wrote good things, so I have no reason to complain to the website and cancel this news."

After spending some time reading the news from his peers, Wang Yue contentedly exited the website, then logged into his favorite AGN forum to see if the “Uncle Party” had started any activities in the community.

I haven't logged in for a few days, and a post with thousands of replies was pushed to the top.

[I suspect that Wang Yue outsourced this game]

"You're the one who outsourced it. This quality of picture and this smart AI cannot be done by cheap outsourcing."

But after thinking about it, Wang Yue just smiled. He felt that the post might have been posted by someone inside Penguin Company, and even half of the replies were from insiders.

However, he knew clearly that it was "Xiao Nuo" himself who had been optimizing the game content in recent years. If AI was taken into consideration, he could only be considered half a producer now.

【Chaoyang District Textile Machine: PS is already the 40th version these days, how difficult is it to simulate game scenes with one click?】

[Northeastern Sword Immortal: It's not that everyone doesn't trust you, but Wang Yue has done so many evil things that there is no trust left.]

[Romantic Türkiye: One person in the front row, invite a cute 42 to try the poison together. ]

If it was just an ordinary fishing rod, no matter how the insider used sweet words, it would be useless. But if it could attract thousands of people to watch, it must be "pictures and truth".

"That's not right. It's written in the Penguin contract that no one, including investors, can leak the test information. Who posted the picture online?"

Wang Yue clicked on the link attached to the post, and the post immediately jumped to another post that could no longer be replied to.

It looked familiar to him at first glance, and then he took another look and discovered the disgusting name of the poster: [Pink Skull].

"Oh, it turns out that I am the traitor."

When taking the butler trial, Wang Yue posted a message online for help because she was not good at solving puzzles. Unexpectedly, her message was dug out by someone and posted in the Heart of Norn community.

Although the help post was locked using the name of Penguin, the pictures and texts in the post were still retained.

Fortunately, it was just a screenshot. Most netizens who had been deceived by photoshopped images for years did not buy it. They argued fiercely with some "insiders", which led to the high-rise post with thousands of replies.

[Dongguan 2077: The scene in the screenshot is exactly the same as the promotional video. Why don't you want to believe him for once? He just made the same mistake that all planners would make.]

[Bohemian Bucktooth: Everyone, come and have a look. The trumpet in the post above has appeared. The water army has arrived. ]

[Sasuke's Rasengan: I am a rational person, a neutral player. The original post did not include the name of the game, you are just trying to trick me. ]

As the saying goes, the real and the fake, the true and the false.

For a moment, Wang Yue couldn't tell who were the traitors within Penguin Company and who were simple and honest netizens.

However, thanks to his own amazing actions, the forum has now noticed the "Heart of Norn" which is currently undergoing internal testing.

Those who are truly qualified for the test have already received the update key and are counting down to logging into the game to experience it.

……

"Haha, I finally found you, Wang Yue."

The dim room was in a mess, clothes and snacks were thrown on the floor, leftover takeout was placed in the corner, and the room was filled with a bad smell.

The water in the fish tank had not been changed for a long time. The dead bodies of the goldfish were floating on the water, and the scrapped data cables were sunk to the bottom of the fish tank.

The notebook on the desk had been disassembled and its parts were scattered around the room, and rusty second-hand tools were placed beside the bed.

The exposed wires were connected to the person on the bed. The helmet she wore was also a defective product bought from the wholesale market. The scrapped mining cards were lined up in a row, and the graphics card used its last bit of strength to support its owner to enter the game.

"I will dig up your virtual address, find your location, and imprison you by my side forever."

The woman bent her legs slightly, the old wooden bed made a harsh sound, her untrimmed fingers grabbed the bed board, and the frequent breathing sounds could be faintly heard.

Looking upwards along the light, except for the window, the room was filled with posters and photos of Wang Yue.

There are even photos of Wang Yue when she was still in school. Each picture is covered with densely packed text, all of which are cheesy words that cannot be seen in public.

The closed beta finally arrived, and the dim room was illuminated by the running hardware.
