In the video.
Two gangs were brawling, with a fat man swinging a copper hammer, the scene was excessively bloody, resembling a god of slaughter descending upon the earth.
Then, a figure burst forward with the speed of lightning and caught up with the fleeing killer. Her long legs suddenly wrapped around him, each move and posture as if they were tempered through a thousand hammers, revealing the most terrifying killing techniques.
In the end, the fat man collapsed with a thunderous fall.
The video on the official website of "Game Otherworld" quickly went viral across the web.
In a certain forum, a series of subtitles popped up.
[Such legs! The Year of Legs series!]
[Why the mosaic? The original is even more bloody and thrilling!]
[I suggest everyone check out the video on the official website of "Game Otherworld," that's real unbridled action!]
[Shocked, is this game promotional material? I thought it was a cut from a blockbuster movie!]
[I'm going to watch it right now!]
[I'm in, let's go together!]
[I thought this was the limit, but when I saw that female warrior charging alone and slaughtering those idiotic players, I was floored!]
...
Countless barrage comments flew by, propelling the video directly to the top of the trending search list.
In front of his computer, a sleazy fat man with glasses was staring dumbfounded at the scene, especially the figure that singlehandedly took down Zhang Aniu, and suddenly felt the urge to cry: "I'm so stupid! Really… so stupid!"
He recognized that woman, she was the one who bought the gaming equipment from him!
And now, after the official website released the video, the price for brand new equipment on Pine Fish soared to one million!
Even the knockoff VR glasses factory ordered by Zhong Shenxiu received a bunch of orders, all for fakes and collectibles to satisfy the craving...
This left those who had won the equipment in the first and second betas and then sold it feeling like crying with no tears...
...
Zhou Xiaofu walked out of the real estate company, his face beaming with a happy smile.
As a ticket scalper, he had made a hefty profit by flipping two game devices, and then resolutely quit the trade to return home and prepare to buy a house and get married.
The house prices in his hometown were not cheap either, breaking ten thousand per square meter. His savings were just enough for the down payment, saddling him with a thirty-year mortgage of bliss.
After walking out of the company, he was about to hail a taxi, but then he thought better of it and withdrew his hand.
After all, with a mortgage to consider, he should save where he could!
He made his way to the bus stop and began waiting for the bus.
At that moment, several students nearby were excitedly discussing a video: "Is this 'Game Otherworld'? It looks amazing..."
"I want to play, where can I buy it?"
"You can't, one device is already over a million... and on the official website now, two hundred thousand people are competing for a thousand spots!"
"I heard that some tycoons have started to pre-order, two million for one third-beta device!"
...
Zhou Xiaofu's ears perked up as if he'd heard something incredible.
"Game Otherworld"?
He knew this game! Wasn't it the last big deal he made? Two new devices...
Two million?
He quickly took out his phone, starting to search for relevant information.
Moments later, Zhou Xiaofu put down his phone and suddenly felt that the property deed—he didn't find it appealing anymore!
...
Inside the dormitory at Luo City International University.
Zeng Weiping was browsing the official website of "Game Otherworld," a look of shock appearing on his face: "Can Da Xia really produce a game of this level? Impossible..."
He quickly registered himself, then a smug smile spread across his face.
As a university student, he had another hidden identity: a spy!
Don't think that spies, like in the movies, mostly have to infiltrate secret bases, detonate bombs, or steal information.
In fact, most spies are ordinary people with very ordinary jobs who could be tourists or students.
Then, by taking advantage of being in a foreign country and using tools that the general public can also use, they gather some information and periodically sell it to the shadowy figures behind the scenes to gain certain benefits.
Like... surfing the internet!
Zeng Weiping was exactly this type of spy. As an exchange student, he had not attempted to steal from any military bases or high-tech labs.
He merely collected information that any regular person could gather and passed it on to his handler.
His handler would then compile this information and submit it to the intelligence think tanks of the Star Ring Alliance for consolidation and analysis.
As such a spy, he actually had a certain amount of work to accomplish each month, or say, mission targets.
And the feeling of not completing the mission by the end of the month was just as dismal and tough as the life of an overworked white-collar worker.
Zeng Weiping had tried making up some news or even directly using plotlines from novels as filler, and surprisingly, he wasn't discovered that often.
"Mmm... I won't need to do any of that this time, an unplanned game is sure to attract attention!"
Although it was just a game, the technological strength it represented was astonishing—if the game in the video was real, even if only 90% accurate, it indicated that the Da Xia Empire had overtaken all other countries in virtual reality technology.
Zeng Weiping quickly wrote a report, logged into a secret mailbox, and sent it to his handler.
Then, he logged into several other mailboxes and began the operation of sending group emails.
Indeed... Zeng Weiping was also a multi-agent spy; after all, money is a good thing, and since he was a bit extravagant with his spending, he had to look for multiple sources of income...
Unexpectedly, he originally thought that once the report was sent, there would be a quick response or even the activation of some covert investigations into the game company.
But in reality... the following days were unexpectedly tranquil, nothing happened at all!
As long as the 'meme' released by Zhong Shenxiu wasn't lifted, no matter how hard people like Xie Biqi and Zeng Weiping worked or how many reports they filed, they still couldn't draw the slightest attention from those above!
This was a kind of overwhelming superiority!
Ordinary people were completely powerless against it!
On the contrary, Zhong Shenxiu had noticed Zeng Weiping.
Several days later.
"Zeng Weiping, there's a package for you!"
Zeng Weiping returned to his dormitory building and heard the dorm manager's voice.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Zeng Weiping picked up the package, returned to his dormitory, tore it open, and saw a pair of VR glasses that had been hyped up on the internet.
"This is worth 2 million, no, 2.5 million!"
"I actually won the drawing, is my luck really that good? This isn't just any trial phase..."
Holding the glasses and fantasizing about holding over two million in his hands, Zeng Weiping felt an unrealistic sensation.
"These glasses..."
Caught between the option of selling them or sending them to his handler for research, Zeng Weiping finally chose—to play by himself!
After all, he was a student and he had his gaming addiction.
With such a game before him, how could he pass up the opportunity?
Soon, the time arrived on November 11th, and the third test officially began!
Xuanming Sky, Newbie Valley.
Above Resurrection Square, streaks of white light continually flashed, and various people emerged from within.
"OMG! This game is incredible!"
Zeng Weiping gazed up at the clear azure sky and deeply admired it, then he suddenly heard an exclamation nearby: "What the heck! There's a white person here?!"
