Whose world-class drama are they criticizing?

Start with the most broken hoe, then upgrade to a better bronze hoe, followed by an iron hoe, and finally a precious silver hoe.

The same applies to showerheads, sickles, and other similar items.

Seeds also need to be purchased by players with real money.

The more Ryan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed; he really was a conscientious farmer.

"...Since the Dark Ones have to find the materials for all the tools themselves," the old blacksmith stared at Ryan expressionlessly, "then why are you asking me to forge any farm implements?"

“A whip,” Ryan said matter-of-factly.

...

Time slowly passed as Lane built tools to improve agricultural efficiency.

In the blink of an eye, it was 5:59 PM.

This is the timeline for internal testing and development.

The game login area was already crowded with lucky players eager to log in.

As Ryan expected, they were all battle maniacs.

They couldn't wait to rush in and kill the monsters.

The leader of the milk powder group, a masochist: "Ahhh, I was chosen! Laibao, come and scold me!"

The amazing old man said: "I am sixty-two years old this year. I played Dark Souls when I was ten years old. I can play Sixteen Wolves and Elden Ring without any problem. I am proficient in all kinds of martial arts. But I never expected that there would be a master in my old age. I am old but not old. My blood is still hot. I will come out of the mountains."

Katana Master: "Damn it, that means the Super Katana Hero is finally about to make his debut!"

All sorts of expert players are watching the countdown to the opening.

Ten, nine, eight... one.

Second closed beta test open!

Fifty lightless beings descend!

[Guidance Task]

Complete the tutorial for new players.

[Reward Amount: 50 Azure Silver Seeds]

The closed beta test was about to begin, and Ryan received another guidance mission from Cang Yin.

His 'high-tech agricultural tools for increasing rice production efficiency' were also ready.

The evening breeze is gentle, and the daytime earthy energy has dissipated. The fields of Daohua Town ripple in the wind, and the golden rice flowers are like clumps of waves.

"Wow, this scene is so realistic."

"I really can't tell the difference between virtual and reality anymore."

"Wow, the wind effect! Wow, the ripples on the grass!"

New players are immediately awestruck by the scenery before them when they enter the game.

Even the most discerning players must admit that Eden's attention to detail is ahead of its time.

Seeing the new players' bewildered, rural-turned-city-adventure appearance, the legendary investigator and other veteran players instantly felt a surge of superiority.

"Cough cough."

As a veteran investigator, it's essential for the naive newbies to learn some beginner tips for Eden. "Don't be fooled by Eden's great art style; its difficulty is truly formidable. To survive, remember these rules."

He cleared his throat, and the new players immediately listened intently.

"Rule number one, remember, a door can only ever be opened from the other side."

"Rule number two: when you find that the door can be opened, immediately back up and be ready to run away at any time."

"Rule number three: Do not talk to the melancholy sister in the Shadow Tower, and do not attack her."

"Rule number four: the blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop is a good man, but don't have your blacksmith's work done there."

"Rule number five: if you encounter a bear or shrimp, run away immediately and do not look back."

"Rule number six: the bridge exists, and the water is soluble."

"Rule number seven: You may ask Lord Ryan for help when you are in danger, but he may sometimes ask you to commit suicide. Please do not kill yourself."

There are seven rules in total, each one stained with blood, and every single one is a lesson learned by players with their lives.

"Kid, this is all old news."

The player with the ID 'Amazing Old Man' disagreed.

He sculpted himself into a round, chubby figure, dressed in dark, grimy armor, and reminisced about the past.

"Kid, back in the day when I was playing games, I killed more people than you know online."

Do you know the origin of Hakimi? Do you know the tragedy of the famous sword? Do you know that 'Minecraft' plagiarized 'Mini World'? Do you know about 'Spring and Autumn Cicadas Sing, Youth Returns'?

His opening remarks were breathtaking, quoting extensively from classical texts and demonstrating a broad range of knowledge.

His words were so profound and unfathomable that none of the people present could decipher their mystery.

The legendary investigator's brow furrowed, sensing something amiss. He realized these players were indeed extraordinary.

It turns out he's a true veteran.

That makes sense. Players who watched the streamer's suffering livestream still had the courage to sign up for the second closed beta test, so they must each have their own unique skills.

He quickly asked the veteran how old he was, and the answer was 'born after 00'.

It turns out she's a member of the legendary post-00s generation.

The entire audience was shocked; they were almost in tears.

"Grandpa, I heard you lived in a cave back then?"

Have you ever worked on repairing the Great Wall?

"So what exactly did Hakimi mean? Wasn't it Doraemon?"

Did the internet exist in your time?

Even legendary investigators wanted to offer the amazing old man a cigarette. This was a legendary Gen Z, a living fossil of the information age, and a veteran with the same seniority as dinosaurs.

"I can't stand it anymore! Quickly send me a katana, I need to go hunting."

A furious shout came from the crowd.

A player with the ID 'Tai Dao Tian Zun' was having a fit of hysteria; he'd been eagerly watching livestreams online for half a month. Finally getting into the game, he was practically bursting with anticipation, drooling and muttering:

"People who play with katana for a long time usually have clear eyes, are extremely confident, and their IQ increases year by year, eventually becoming complete geniuses."

After marveling at the graphics, all the new players were itching to try it. What did high difficulty matter? They were all there for the high difficulty.

Ryan observed the restless players from afar and thought to himself, "That's exactly right."

All the new players are masochists; the harder the game, the happier they are, especially the one who uses a katana.

It's just a religious weapon.

This time, Ryan wasn't going to make their journey difficult, but rather boring.

“The Lightless.”

The boy's voice attracted the players' attention, and they hurriedly looked into the distance, only to see a person walking out from the depths of the rice field. The noble boy had golden hair that trailed down his back and eyes that were as white as snow. Upon seeing this appearance, the players knew that he was the legendary Ryan Lumin.

It is said that the IP is worth one billion US dollars.

"Quiet down, everyone," the legendary investigator said quickly, his expression serious. "Ten J-10Cs are coming."

Ten fighter jets were indeed terrifying, and the players in the prison quickly fell silent.

"This is ridiculous. The IPs next door are all about aircraft carriers, but I'm still reading doujinshi. Hey, do you guys even count as ship girls?"

"He's just a little boy."

"Laibao, I love you! Let's take a picture together, Laibao!"

The new player wasn't afraid of Ryan; like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, he only had ten fighter jets.

At the same time, I was also very excited.

With the opening of this second closed beta test, what exciting newbie quests will Ryan, as the 'Azure Silver Apostle', arrange for them?

Should we kill the bear, clear out the back mountain, or charge up the Shadow Tower?

Or perhaps, to deliver a powerful and inspiring speech?

Ryan walked up to the players, and under fifty expectant eyes, he smiled gently and delivered a truly inspiring speech: "Go work."

Go work?

Go to work?

The players were somewhat bewildered. They looked at each other, and all of them saw confusion in each other's eyes.

[Azure Silver Apostle, Ryan Lumin, issues you a beginner's quest.]

[New Player Mission: Log in to receive 100 free draws]

[Reward: 100 draws]

Oh, the players saw the quest and blinked, wondering if they were seeing things.

Surprisingly, there's a lucky draw with prizes to be won.

Is Ryan finally going to become a human this time?

Eden really listened to advice. Players in the second closed beta couldn't help but sigh. In the first closed beta, they complained that the difficulty was too high and the drop rate was too low, but in the second closed beta, they directly capped the drop rate and gave away freebies.

He was still afraid of Bao Si, as expected.

The players in the second test were bored. They glanced disdainfully at the players in the first test. With this level of difficulty, how could it be called a death game?

Regardless, you should still claim the benefits you are entitled to.

These 100 draws are probably for drawing beginner weapons from the blacksmith shop.

"I want to enter the lottery."

"I want to sign up too!"

.....

Players in the second closed beta test lined up in droves, while those who had been stuck in the first closed beta test silently took a step back, as they had a bad feeling about it.

Back when they received their first beginner mission, Ryan had a similar smile on his face.

The name of that beginner quest is "Suicide and Return to Heaven".

"I'll go first."

"Give me a full 10-pull right now! By the way, does this game have a pity system?"

Katana Master rubbed his hands together and was the first to step forward, hoping to draw the katana directly.

He spread his hands and said to Ryan, "Give it to me."

The next instant, Taika Tenshin felt dizzy.

The world turned upside down before him, with golden wheat fields above as the sky and rosy twilight below as the earth. He immediately realized he was spinning, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds.

No one could see what it was; it moved so fast that it left behind layers of afterimages.

The Great Sword Master was so startled by the sight that he felt dizzy and disoriented, his vision blurring with multiple images. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's a long, narrow katana!"

What is a long, narrow katana...?

The players were initially confused, but then they realized that it was a whip!

Ryan swung his sword with tremendous force, and the Great Sword Master spun like a top, his smile growing ever more gentle:

"Go work."
