Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 28: Major Update for the Beta 0.1 Version of the Public Test Server!

6:30 pm.

Wang Zixu had just finished class and was humming a little tune as he walked towards the cafeteria.

The edited game video went viral, and I'm in a really good mood right now.

Previously, the highest number of video views was only 10+.

This video has garnered over 500,000 views, and the number of likes and coins has also reached new highs.

He received over 300 yuan in creative incentives from Bilibili, which was more than the gifts he received during his live streams.

From a penniless student whose pockets were emptier than his face, to earning 500 yuan a day, Wang Zixu felt a little lightheaded.

I walked straight into the cafeteria and looked at the dazzling array of dishes displayed at the window.

In the past, you had to think long and hard before ordering a meat dish.

Today, I generously ordered three meat dishes.

"Auntie, one serving of braised pork, and also sweet and sour pork and spicy chicken!"

His roommate next to him stared wide-eyed and nudged him with his elbow:
"Old Wang, you've struck it rich? You're living such a lavish lifestyle!"

Wang Zixu, holding a mountain of plates, gestured for them to be kept low-key: "Keep it down, keep it down!"

I found a seat nearby and sat down, then addressed my three dumbfounded roommates:

"Order whatever you want, dinner's on me tonight!"

"Brother Wang is so generous!" *3
While eating, Wang Zixu was scanning the electronic pickled vegetable app, occasionally letting out a silly chuckle.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

I took a look and realized that the group chat of the "Persuade to Spend Money Club" had exploded.

New player: "Holy crap! Guys, let's check out the official website!"

Three times a day: "What's wrong with the official website? What are they up to now?"

Ready to quit the game: "Major update for the Beta 0.1 version of the public test server!!"

Account deleted: "Holy crap? Last time I checked it was Alpha 0.1, and it skipped 0.2 and went straight to Beta? (Cow, beer!)"

The Lecherous Demon King: "A big update so soon? Are you planning to cash in and run away? (Shocked)"

"..."

Wang Zixu didn't even bother to eat; he immediately left the group chat and opened the game's official website.

The announcement window popped up as soon as the page loaded.

[Beta 0.1 Update Announcement for "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors" Public Beta Server]

2. Added several park maps.

3. Enhance the interactivity of NPCs.

5.……】

Good guy!
Wang Zixu was stunned. So many things were updated at once, and it even skipped a major version.

He'd played so many games, but he'd never seen a virtual game update so frequently.

Two words: Awesome!
Looking at these updates, Wang Zixu felt a surge of excitement and couldn't wait to jump into the game and experience it for himself.

After quickly finishing the remaining food on my plate, I said goodbye to my roommate and dashed out of the cafeteria like a gust of wind.

The three roommates were left looking at each other, completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with Lao Wang lately? He's acting like he's been injected with chicken blood."

"You don't know? This kid has been obsessed with playing 'Bloody Golden Triangle' lately. As soon as get out of class is over, he goes straight to his dorm, puts on his helmet, and lies on his bed all day long."

“Something’s not right. During lunch, he told me that the number of viewers in his live stream had exceeded 10,000 and he had received nearly 300 gifts.”

"Hiss! I feel it's true. Otherwise, why would Old Wang, that tightwad, be so generous as to treat us to dinner today?"

"Speaking of which, the first-clear event for 'Bloody Golden Triangle' has a million-dollar prize. How about we buy the game and give it a try?"

"A thousand yuan! That's too expensive! Besides, how many game events are real these days? If they say there's a million-yuan prize, nine times out of ten it's a scam!"

"It's definitely a shady deal! Besides, I need to start my internship and look for a job soon, so I don't have the energy to play games."

"I read in the game description that it's a dream game that you can play while you're sleeping at night and it won't interfere with your normal work during the day."

"Is it really that amazing? That's just false advertising, isn't it?"

"..."

the other side.

Wang Zixu returned to his dorm room, lay down on his bed, and put on his virtual reality headset. [Welcome to Wang Zixu, player. Enjoy the game!]

Instead of immediately entering the game, he logged into Bilibili and started a live stream.

As soon as the live stream started, more than 500 people flooded in, and the number continues to rise.

[Wow, you're up early today!]

[Hey bro, I'm here! Will I be selected by the park today? (Merit +1)]

[Checking in! Sunflower seeds, drinks, and bottled water for sale in the front row!]

[I heard the game's been updated, come watch Freebie Bro's live stream for the first time!]

[Fast forward to the part where Piao Ge gets beaten up! (drooling over the screen)]

Wang Zixu gave a brief greeting to the audience and then started the game.

The screen flashed.

He reappeared in that dimly lit room.

The air was damp and musty, and all around was deathly silent.

Please read the Player Handbook carefully.

A notification light screen popped up in front of me.

Wang Zixu had a sudden thought and clicked on the light screen to check.

[Reminder: Players must ensure that their actions comply with regulations.]

The following behaviors are all violations and will be severely punished upon discovery:

1. Prostitution.

Depending on the severity of the offense, the account will be banned for 5-30 days, and a penalty of 500 game points will be imposed.

2. Drugs. (Including all related activities such as drug use, production, and transportation)
Depending on the severity of the offense, the penalty will be a 50-year or permanent account ban, and a fine of 50000 game points.

3. Intentionally ruining the gaming experience of other players.

Depending on the severity of the offense, the account will be banned for 5-30 days, and a penalty of 200 game points will be imposed.

[…(Click to expand the remaining 97 violations)]

Repeated violations will result in harsher penalties, including permanent ban on login access.

[Supplementary Clause: Players may not disclose the existence of 'player' or 'game' to any NPC in any way.]

[Special Note: If your game score falls below -100, your account will be temporarily banned until your score returns to positive.]

[Seal Studio reserves the right to the final interpretation of all definitions of violations.]

'The rules are really strict.'

Wang Zixu felt somewhat ashamed as he looked at the densely packed list of over 100 violations.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

If a game is too open, it's inevitable that some players with malicious intentions will come in. Having rules to suppress them will always make them behave more.

He noted that in addition to banning the account, players would also be penalized with game points for violating the rules.

The so-called game points are the forum contribution points.

The currently known way to obtain points is by checking in daily to receive 1 point, and accumulating check-ins will grant additional point rewards.

Then comes posting. If a post is featured, you'll earn more points.

I wonder if these points will be able to be traded or have other uses added later.

No matter what happens in the future, it's always good to stock up.

"This update also added a live stream chat feature; I didn't expect the developers to be so quick."

Wang Zixu tried enabling the bullet screen feature.

The chat is currently engaged in a heated debate about the player's manual.

Holy crap, these rules are pretty strict! Is this a game or reality?

[Hey upstairs, shut up! The game's background is so dark, if there were no rules, what would happen?]

[Exactly, without rules, there can be no order. If players are allowed to do whatever they want in the game, it will definitely have extremely negative consequences.]

In my opinion, this game is becoming increasingly realistic; they've even included legal provisions.

Wang Zixu was engrossed in watching.

"crunch-"

The tightly closed iron gate was suddenly pulled open from the outside.

Wang Zixu felt a chill run down his spine, quickly turned off the live comments, and looked up abruptly.

Light streamed in, and several figures blocked the doorway.

The one leading the group was none other than the curly-haired man he hated so much.
