Chapter 285 Preview
In a room filled with game was sitting in front of the computer, eating a box lunch and flipping through a game platform out of boredom.
“Flashback 12, The Walking Dead: Destiny, The Order of the Dwarves.”
"What the hell is this? It's enough for me to make another garbage appreciation video. Can you pay me some work injury compensation?"
Mantou took a bite of the chicken leg and couldn't help but say:
"When will Erezega be officially launched? I've been so idle lately. Oh, I don't know how Noodles is doing lately. I miss the days of riding on the back of a dragon."
While chewing the chicken, a piece of game information popped up in his "Special Attention" list, which turned out to be released by the mysterious "Erezaiga" official.
"Erezaiga" will be officially launched in three days! Version [Northern Storm] is about to be launched!
"Hey, it's finally here!"
Mantou rubbed his hands, wiped the oil on his mouth, and ordered it without hesitation.
As soon as I clicked on the video, the screen was still dark. The video hadn't even loaded yet, but countless comments had already occupied the screen.
"Urgent, urgent, urgent!"
"Wuhu~"
"I've been waiting for you so long!"
"Do you know how I've been doing this past year?"
"Old beta players are in tears. I grew up playing Erezega."
"Get out of here, Ougou! I still haven't gotten a spot!"
"Shit, it turns out I'm not the only African."
A total of 50,000 places were available for the public beta test of "Erezaiga", but in just less than three hours, all of them were swept up by enthusiastic players. If this game was not identity-bound, I'm afraid even the public beta qualification alone would have been sold at a sky-high price.
A player who didn’t get a spot said something like this on the forum: “Europeans are just the threshold to enter the game.”
Mantou looked at the comments that were complaining and begging the authorities to release more quotas, and couldn't help but smile gloatingly: "Hehe, fortunately I took decisive action during the internal testing stage. This is real strength."
His ugly face is not concealed at all.
As the soothing and lively music prelude sounded, the picture suddenly brightened. First, a little deer grazing on wild grass appeared in the center of the picture, and then the camera suddenly zoomed out.
There are running wolves, hunting goblins and even wandering hill giants on the ground. Dense jungles, desolate snow-covered wastelands and even rolling mountains appear in the field of vision one after another, and the music gradually becomes more grand.
"Big production!"
"What a big deal!"
"Isn't this Storm Heights?"
"The newcomer killed the hill giant, and the old players cried again."
"Hill Giant: Do you like my big stick? Eat one!"
“Oh my god, is this a real game screen?”
"Old players promise, 100% true!"
The narrator’s voice also appears at the right time: “This is the Great Wasteland of Anzeta, located in the northwest of the Elzegesi continent, surrounded by the majestic Anstika Mountains. It is known as the ‘Land without Spring’ because of its cold climate all year round.
"Orcs, giants, goblins, and even dragons, countless creatures coexist in this vast, desolate land."
Mantou picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with relish, and said with a mouthful of oil: "It goes really well with rice!"
The narrator's tone suddenly paused.
"Like any other place, this land also hides countless darkness and endless sins."
"oppression."
The camera turned to show a skinny serf shivering in the cold wind, being mercilessly whipped by his master's whip, and finally falling in the snow.
"Fuck, is this so realistic?"
"What a poor NPC"
"It's time for players to liberate them!"
"Resist the tyranny of the North. Anzeta belongs to the Kingdom!"
The barrage of comments continued, and the narration continued in a low voice. "Killing."
The picture flashed again. In the dark castle, several naked derivatives were tied to stone pillars and chanted strange songs. The crazy vampire duke showed a hideous smile. He summoned a monstrous blood mist and sucked countless humans dry.
"This boss is a bit annoying."
"Hahahaha, isn't this the old pervert who molested the beasts?"
"Details of obscenity."
"I'm so excited. I actually saw myself in the promotional video. I'm the most handsome guy."
"What can you tell about her appearance if her skin is wrinkled?"
The frenzy of barrage continued, and the background music became heavier.
"plunder."
The camera turned, and a white ice and snow storm arose on the wasteland. Hundreds of frost giants moved southward with howling wind and snow, and even the earth was shaking.
"chaos."
The scene suddenly went dark. In the deep, dark cave, there were dirty blood and broken body parts everywhere. Those strange-looking demons gradually emerged from the darkness, making manic and disorderly roars.
And in the deepest part of the cave, on the stone throne covered with distorted human faces, the fallen giant was smiling strangely.
"Is this the new boss trailer?"
"Damn, I guess we're going to have to fight the Abyss Demons."
"Finally some new information has come out. Old players are in tears."
"Demon from the Abyss?"
Mantou mixed the pickles with rice and gobbled them up greedily, while still staring at the screen.
Suddenly, the picture went black again, and the scene suddenly became exciting.
The narrator's voice became sonorous and powerful.
"But a completely new force is rising, and a new era is about to come."
The screen lit up again, and I saw dragon knights soaring in the sky. They were rapidly chasing a group of giant eagle knights, and a fierce air battle was going on.
Mantou's eyes widened immediately, and he didn't even care about eating: "Isn't this me? The authorities really have a keen eye for talent!"
“You will change the world.”
Players either unleash dazzling spells, shoot sharp arrows, or transform into brown bears to deal with a variety of enemies, including human armies, vampire spawn, and dragon-like monsters.
Factories are rising from the ground, steam locomotives are emitting white smoke, mechas are moving across the land, and cannons are drawing graceful arcs in the sky - these are all changes that players have brought to the world.
"Or destroy the world."
Suddenly, a long roar was heard in the distance, and the music became extremely grand.
A gigantic red dragon flapped its wings and slowly came over carrying endless flames, dyeing the entire horizon red. There were countless charred debris on the ground and ashes flying in the air - that was the scene of the "natural disaster" in which Cassius destroyed tens of thousands of coalition forces in the Battle of Trier.
"Erezegai - Storm in the North."
Finally, the picture froze on the flame of the red dragon's breath, with the large gold-plated words "Erezegai" appearing in the center, and the barrage of comments also set off a new round of frenzy.
“What a grand occasion!”
"This dragon is quite handsome, is it the final boss?"
"Whose barbecue restaurant?"
"Brother Kai is so impressive, he appears at the end of the promotional video!"
"Long live the Burning Kingdom! Eradicate the tyranny of the North, and Anzeta will belong to the Kingdom!"
"Hehehe, Lord Cassius, I want to..."
He ate the last bite of rice with steamed bun and pickles, swallowing it down in one gulp. He knew that he would have to get busy.
