Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 5 Beta Testers and Players
"What's wrong, Uncle John?"

Lyle Cremona's voice came from the room, which made John, who was holding a sword outside the door, feel a little relieved.

"Lyle, I heard some noise from your end. Is something wrong?"

John asked in a low voice. There was no response in the room. A moment later, the door was opened and Lyle Cremona showed his feet wrapped in cloth with a wry smile on his face.

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I accidentally scratched my foot."

Lyle Cremona gestured for John to enter the room. John came in with a sword in his hand, very cautiously, as if he was worried that there was someone in the room.

However, it was basically possible to tell at a glance whether there was anyone in this simply decorated room. After taking a look at the bloodstains on the ground, John sheathed his sword and shook his head.

Young people are young people after all. They try hard to appear mature and steady outside, but when they come home and stay behind closed doors, they still get excited.

"Is everything alright?"

John asked. Now was a critical moment for the expansion of the settlement. If the injury was serious, it would indeed cause some delays. His eldest brother was just about to give his youngest son more responsibilities.

"It's not a big deal, I'll get treatment later."

Lyle Cremona smiled and replied in a relaxed tone that this kind of injury could be healed quickly with treatment from a priest.

Karen, transformed into a bat, was on the rafters, watching the two of them and listening to their chatter. He was not afraid that the tester would betray him.

These people are not very strong. If a fight really breaks out, it is only a matter of time before he kills everyone in the settlement. Otherwise, he would not have flown in so blatantly.

The two men below chatted for a few more words, and the middle-aged man retreated. Lyle Cremona closed the door and turned around. Karen had reappeared and sat directly on the table.

"Now you have two choices."

Karen spoke slowly, his tone cold.

Lyle Cremona swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely nervous. Before the system was activated, he always considered himself the protagonist and the only traveler.

The system was activated and could summon players only seven days ago. Before that, his system was actually a useless piece of junk.

This made Karen feel a little more balanced. It turned out that everyone else was the same, and he was the only one who had the first-mover advantage.

"Obey me and you will live, disobey me and you will die."

Karen raised his right hand, and blood lingered in his hand, as if carrying a special magic that made Lyle Cremona unable to take his eyes off it.

Karen's words were easy to understand, and Lyle had almost no hesitation.

"My Lord, what do you need from me?"

Lyle Cremona knelt directly in front of Karen. Although the tester in front of him was weird in every way, in the face of absolute power, none of this mattered.

The most important thing is that he has no choice now. The closed beta testers can kill each other and plunder the closed beta test quota from each other. The other party can kill him and get away. Instead of being killed casually, it is better to be a dog honestly.

Karen did consider killing Lyle, but the reality of the language barrier forced him to give up the idea. He didn't know when he would meet the next tester, and Lyle still had irreplaceable value.

First, of course, he would learn the Empire's common language. Since they could communicate in Chinese, learning would naturally be easier. Secondly, he could use Lyle to secretly control this human settlement. Given the current situation, he certainly couldn't directly raise the banner of rebellion. Karen understood that he could only lie low and take things step by step.

Karen was not surprised that Lyle Cremona surrendered so quickly. Although this guy was sixteen years old now, it was not certain how old he was before he traveled through time. It was completely understandable that he could bend and stretch a little.

"Buzz!"

A ball of blood and energy shot into Lyle Cremona's body, and Karen put a hunting mark on this guy. With this mark, Karen would be able to find him even if he ran to the ends of the earth.

"puff!"

Karen opened his mouth and spat out [half an orange in one bite]. Swallowing a living person was just a simple trick, but he could only swallow one, and it would not fit more.

"Tell me about the players in detail."

Karen pointed at Banju and said to Lyle Cremona that these players would probably have to be faced frequently in the future.

Lyle Cremona naturally knew everything and told them all the experiences he had summarized from summoning players.

In fact, Lyle Cremona only summoned one player, [Half an Orange in One Bite]. The reason was of course that he was worried about the uncontrollability of the player. I believe that all the closed beta testers are the same. Now everyone is probably still in the experimental stage.

Although the closed tester and the players summoned by him do not speak the same language, they can understand some simple instructions. For example, if the closed tester orders the player to cut down a tree, the player will understand what it means. It is a bit similar to a task system.

Closed beta testers can adjust the resurrection time of internal beta test players, with the shortest being two days and the longest being five days. This can greatly increase the trial and error cost of players and reduce the chances of them messing up.

Of course, the most powerful weapon in the hands of the closed beta tester is to deprive the player of the internal beta test qualification. Lyle Cremona has already learned that the players he summoned have never experienced this kind of "game" and they cherish this internal beta test qualification very much.

In the official settings known to the beta testers, their identities are summoned heroes from another world, and the beta testers are the summoners who summoned them. In essence, they are equivalent to summoned creatures and must have a good relationship with the summoner, otherwise they may be abandoned by the summoner and never summoned again.

"This initial setting is consistent with the authority, and it can be said to minimize the possibility of players getting sick."

Karen nodded, but after taking a look at the half orange lying on the ground, he felt that the effect didn't seem to be very good.

Lyle Cremona was obviously in a similar mood. These players could always give you some unexpected "surprises".

"Ah!!! Finally connected again!"

Karen and Lyle Cremona were talking when Banju, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up and let out a scream of surprise.

"Forehead"

However, after seeing Karen and Lyle Cremona, Banju fell into a brief daze, seeming a little surprised.

Lyle Cremona hesitated to speak. He really wanted to scold this player and even wanted to deprive her of her internal test qualification.

However, it's useless to scold him, as this guy doesn't understand at all. As for depriving him of his qualifications, it probably won't count even if he says so now.

"Hahaha, are you chatting?"

Banju laughed awkwardly twice. She never expected that the vampire she dug out could actually find her resurrection point directly!

This is over! If the summoner is killed, will she immediately lose her qualification for the internal beta test?! I don't want this to happen!
