April 7.

Zhong Shenxiu finally set up a player forum on the official website, exclusively for player comments.

As for beta sign-ups?

He had directly closed them.

Then, in less than half an hour, players began to post:

"I swear, this game is so realistic, the development team really has conscience!"

"Got scared by the realism, it's just like the real world… I'm rich and I strongly demand the activation of the recharge function… What fun is there in a game if you can't spend money?"

"Has no one noticed that the beta sign-ups are closed? Plus, it seems that the device is bound after one use and can't be used to show off to others… I'm offering a high price to buy a device that hasn't been used!"

All the comments were positive, making Zhong Shenxiu nod slightly, feeling that he had foresight.

Then, he saw another post:

"A player's bitter complaint!"

Upon opening it, he found it was a lengthy account of a player's game experience:

"This is 'Old Man Just Gray-Haired,' first off, thanks to the game company for such a high-quality game, it really has integrity, and being free is too good, but, but, but... the planning is just awful! It makes one want to burn them and offer them to the heavens!"

"First to explain, 'Game Different World' is indeed highly realistic, making one almost believe they've time-traveled, and it can adjust the pain levels, definitely a conscientious production…"

"And, the promotional title on the official website isn't false at all!"

"Super high freedom, but it's like three days can't even get you out of the newbie village map in the wilderness area!"

"Terrifying death penalty, can't play the game for a whole day!"

"But the most crucial thing is… After trekking for three days and with enough luck, I finally met a humanoid NPC! Then I just knelt down!"

"What the NPC said, I couldn't understand a word, but I must say, his IQ was definitely online, he even tried to use sign language with me after we couldn't understand each other! Sign language! And damn it, I actually understood a bit, he was a woodcutter!"

"Also, after making him repeat his words many times, I think... this game might have designed a complete otherworld language, with unique characters and grammar, that could totally pass as a foreign language in the real world, I just knelt down on the spot!"

...

Towards the end, Old Man Just Gray-Haired's article got a bit erratic, clearly his spirit was collapsing.

Below, there was a string of replies.

"Wan Donglin: I'm not well-read, don't trick me (sobbing)"

"Chen Tianxin: Kneeling, kneeling, didn't expect that you needed to learn a foreign language before playing the game, am I still in time to register? (dog head)"

"Xie Wu: Hahaha, you guys have no idea about the terror of the world, this is a truly hardcore game, if you can't play, then don't play (scorn)"

"Hammy: Actually, I think everyone is too naive, not able to communicate is nothing, we should thank the crappy planner for making NPCs human-shaped instead of skeletons, orcs, dinosaurs, or other weird things… (a long string of candles)"

"Lingling the foodie: Somehow I feel the setting above sounds exhilarating, just want to play a non-human character (big laugh)"

...

Zhong Shenxiu looked again, most of the replies were complaints about the lack of main quest cues and the harsh death penalty.

He clicked his mouse lightly, unable to help but laugh: "They don't know how blessed they are, if I had set it as the Main God Space, one death and you'd be gone… in the real world you'd become a vegetative state."

As for the death penalty, it was just something he came up with on the fly to make these players more serious.

If he wanted, he could let players resurrect instantly in full state.

After all, whether it's Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power or a restart, both are quite sharp resurrection techniques.

"Hmm, I could consider making this instantaneous no-penalty resurrection a reward in the future, maybe call it 'Perfect Resurrection'... I have a feeling if I could charge money, selling these resurrection counts would make me a fortune, too bad, money is just a number to me now."

Zhong Shenxiu pursed his lips, beginning to ponder whether he needed to set tasks for the players.

After all, what he needed was the concept of players traveling through and leveling up in the game, nothing else.

But undoubtedly, establishing main quests would greatly enhance the players' initiative.

Getting them to act, to show off, to level up, to stir up trouble... all of these were related to the effects of subsequent ceremonies.

"Xuanming Sky... Oh, I haven't even explored much yet, how can I design the main quests? Let's leave it for now!"

Zhong Shenxiu could feel that after the first round of internal testing had started, his connection with the heart key had become a bit tighter.

Although he hadn't started to accelerate digestion, it was a good sign.

This was worth continuing the game for.

He scrolled further and saw a post:

[Thank you to the gaming company for giving me a new life!]

After clicking on it, he found it was posted by a player named 'Broken-winged Angel.'

[Broken-winged Angel: Thank you to the gaming company. I lost my legs in an accident, but after entering the game, I experienced the feeling of running again...]

[After the injury, I made some new friends, and I want them to also have access to gaming devices, seeking VR headsets, will pay a high price!]

Apparently afraid that others might not believe it, there was also a photo in the post showing a girl in a white dress sitting in a wheelchair, holding a no-brand VR headset, smiling like an angel.

...

"Wuu wuu wuu! So touching!"

Zhang Xuanyi clutched Xu Ran's arm beside her, shaking it vigorously, "Ranran, help them, help them!"

"Stop, you're nearly strangling me."

Xu Ran rolled his eyes, dodged Zhang Xuanyi's demon palm, and then sighed, "Our devices are already bound, the gaming company surely won't make exceptions. We can only look for unused gaming devices or wait for the second round of internal testing or the official release."

"Why wouldn't the gaming company make an exception?"

Zhang Xuanyi asked curiously.

"Because, this could be alien black tech, think about it, using sleep time for gaming, a world almost entirely true-to-life... After playing for eight hours, waking up feels the same as having slept, can modern technology do that?"

Xu Ran rolled his eyes: "And would aliens have human empathy?"

"What should we do then? Report it?"

Zhang Xuanyi jumped.

Then she was stared at by Xu Ran as if she were a fool for a long time, "What are you going to report, that it's scamming your money or that it sold you out? Saying it's alien? Who would believe that? And if you need to prove it, how would you prove it? Wear the glasses and pretend to be asleep?"

Zhang Xuanyi suddenly felt foolish, realizing they, as players, had no way to prove they played such a fun game, because game videos and pictures simply couldn't be released!

"Ah, this is so frustrating!"

She hugged a giant plush nearby, wanting to roll back and forth on the floor...

"Moreover, a company capable of making such a game must be very powerful, whoever is behind it; are you sure you want to provoke their hostility?"

Xu Ran asked again.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Xuanyi asked fearfully.

"If you're afraid, don't play. If you want to play, just keep quiet and "get rich silently," play the game as if you're sleeping, it's like having twice the lifespan... Of course, I was just saying it might be alien technology, it could also be those huge tech conglomerates quietly carrying out human testing..."

"Actually, I think most of the rational players won't speak out," Xu Ran said. "If it causes any trouble, the game could shut down, and we'd be the biggest losers, having nothing to play..."
