The developers still haven't forgiven the players.

No matter what kind of game it is, the initial stage of getting into it is definitely the most addictive.

Peng Zhi is currently in this stage.

Even though he couldn't play games while sitting in the classroom, he spent most of the morning glued to his phone, switching back and forth between game groups and the official website.

Unfortunately, the players who obtained the test qualifications were obviously having a great time in the game, the group chat was very quiet, and the official website did not update any new information.

After finally getting through get out of class, Peng Zhi was in no mood to go to the cafeteria. He left a message saying, "Just bring me something to eat," and then grabbed his textbooks and ran back to his dormitory.

The remaining three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Duan Jianhui was puzzled: "This guy's in an online relationship?"

"Who knows?"

Zheng Wen adjusted his glasses: "Let's go eat, the three of us."

Peng Zhi, who should have disappeared in a flash, was still caught up by the three leisurely people.

There was nothing he could do. There were many classrooms for classes today, and it was right after class, so the stairwell was quite crowded. No matter how anxious Peng Zhi was, his speed downstairs was still the same.

"What's the rush? Anyway, it's close to Cafeteria No. 3, let's go eat together first."

Duan Jianhui put his hand on Peng Zhi's shoulder: "Tell me honestly, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Peng Zhi looked at the crowd of people jostling shoulder to shoulder and sighed helplessly.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

……

bang~

Peng Zhi devoured the food in a flash, emptying his plate in no time.

He put down his chopsticks and urged, "Eat faster."

"Wait, what's wrong with you today? You didn't actually fall in love online, did you?" Duan Jianhui was a little stunned.

"Go back to the dorm and play games, didn't I tell you?"

"Wait, that game you mentioned, it can't be real, right?"

"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out for yourselves once you play it. The package should have arrived at the dorm building by now."

There should be limits to pranks.

Zheng Wen swallowed his rice and added, "We can play along if you're joking, but it gets boring if we keep doing this."

To be honest, none of my three roommates believed that such a game existed from the very beginning.

However, Peng Zhi's condition inevitably made them somewhat uneasy.

"Anyway, you'll find out when you enter the game." Peng Zhi had no other choice but to repeat the same old lines over and over.

Zheng Wen curled his lip: "To put it bluntly, that kind of game is simply impossible to achieve with current technology. Even if it existed, the testing qualifications wouldn't fall into our laps. No matter how well you pretend, it's useless. Do you think we're so easily fooled?"

……

"Godfather, is this alright?"

Zheng Wen put on his helmet, lay flat on the bed, and asked cautiously.

Not only him, but Wang Zihan and Duan Jianhui were also wearing helmets and lying on their respective beds.

It's no wonder these three guys were initially arrogant but later became obsequious. When they opened the package and took out the gaming helmet, it was hard for them to remain skeptical.

If Peng Zhi wanted to play a prank on them, wasn't he going to go to great lengths?

What's more, they discovered that after putting on the gaming helmet, they could actually see the countdown to entering the game.

Faced with the facts, the three roommates had no choice but to believe it.

"I'm logging on now. Once you're in the game, wait for me in the open area of ​​the starting village."

Peng Zhi is now eager to log in and catch up. He was once ranked number one, after all, and he can't afford to fall too far behind.

He silently entered the game, and even with his eyes closed, he still saw a beam of light piercing through the darkness.

In an instant, the scent of grass and trees filled his nostrils, and a powerful force once again filled his limbs and bones.

While I am generally healthy in real life, I can't compare to the superhuman physique I have in the game.

"What a pity, no matter how powerful I am in the game, it's all fake."

Reminding himself that this was just a game, Peng Zhi then sat up from the wooden board.

He could feel that his clothes were a little sticky, probably because they had been soaked through by the moisture overnight.

"Luckily, I'm physically strong, otherwise I would have caught a bad cold. Hmm... I don't understand why this game has a disease module."

He muttered to himself as he walked out of the drafty wooden hut.

He glanced around and saw that there were still some players training in the open space, but not as many as he had expected.

Peng Zhi walked straight to Old Kuai, who was still doing push-ups, and joked, "Still practicing, huh?"

When Lao Kuai looked up and saw Peng Zhi, he was surprised to realize that it was already noon.

"You're online."

Old Kuai responded weakly, then turned and lay down on the ground in a slump.

Players can't see each other's levels, but I imagine if Old Kuai leveled up, he definitely wouldn't continue doing push-ups here.

Peng Zhi carefully considered his words before comforting him, "Why are you so downcast? It's just that you haven't leveled up yet."

"I can recite the entire circulation path of the Tiger Fiend Technique by heart, but I just can't seem to generate any blood energy. If it weren't for the fact that it takes twelve hours to revive, I would have started over."

Old Kuai stared blankly at the sky, his expression wooden.

Incidentally, because of Peng Zhi's example, everyone knows that it's best not to make mistakes when circulating blood and qi for the first time.

To ensure that the initial blood energy is not wasted, players will occasionally use the "Tiger Fiend Technique" while training.

"Actually, I think you don't need to rush. This might be a good thing."

Noticing that Lao Kuai's gaze had shifted to him, Peng Zhi patiently explained.

"This is just my speculation, it may not be correct. There was indeed a problem when I leveled up, but the difference in experience points between me and Keyun shouldn't be that big. If there is a difference, it's that I developed blood qi first, and he developed it a little later than me."

What he meant was that the longer the time it takes to develop blood and qi, the more blood and qi might be initially generated.

Old Kuai perked up slightly: "But... that's just your guess, isn't it?"

"Aren't you the best person to verify this hypothesis?"

Peng Zhi didn't offer any further comfort. He said that was enough; they were all buddies, no need for such sentimentality.

He glanced at the open space and casually changed the subject: "Why are there so few people? Where are the other players?"

"Oh, you didn't know..."

Old Kuai never logged off; he knew everything that was happening in the tribe.

When Peng Zhi asked, he immediately recounted how human warriors had arrived that morning and how Dog Brother had led a large force out to hunt monsters.

After listening quietly to Lao Kuai's story, Peng Zhi slapped his forehead in regret.

"Damn, I missed a crucial part of the plot. I should have skipped class this morning."

"It shouldn't be anything too crucial to the plot, right?"

"Haven't you played World of Warcraft? This kind of new faction update is definitely a major event in an RPG game. Whether it's an enemy faction or a friendly faction, from what you've said, those people seem to be able to communicate, which means that there is still a diplomatic gameplay element in this game. Once the enemy faction is released, the game will probably move from closed beta to open beta."

Peng Zhi sighed, "I can't believe I wasn't online when this milestone event happened. Damn it! This game can't be recorded, so I don't even know where to watch the replay."

Is this matter that serious?

As a player who always presses "skip" in games, Lao Kuai completely doesn't understand what Peng Zhi is regretting.

Just then, a player ran back from outside the tribe, panting and shouting.

"Brothers who have already leveled up, come with me right now, Dog Bro has found a monster spawn point."
