Chapter 25: The Coming Sugar Daddies
[To all players, the game will undergo its first closed beta server update in twenty minutes. The update details have been published on the official website. We appreciate your understanding.]
Players will be logged off within 20 minutes. Players who do not log off within the specified time will be forcibly logged off.
Ice and fire will meet players in an even more perfect form tomorrow night.
Players who were actively trading were caught off guard when they received the announcement.
Many people took the opportunity to grab the equipment without leaving any in-game currency as a deposit and then disappeared into the crowd, causing a wave of curses.
Even more extreme, some players started offering free purchases directly to other guilds' stalls. Players from the guilds that owned the stalls were enraged and drew their swords. In an instant, the players were ready to fight each other at the slightest provocation.
The players from the smaller guilds, on the other hand, were eager to watch the drama unfold, standing by excitedly fanning the flames.
"Go for it! Don't embarrass yourself!"
"What are you afraid of? Chop him up!"
"Go!"
The chaotic scene didn't calm down until Viserys, with a dark expression, led the Unsullied squad in with their spears. Only then did the players calm down, cautiously picking up their equipment and returning to their lodgings.
"Damn it, if I wasn't worried about my gear being stolen in the chaos, I would have fought them to the death today!"
"I've disliked them for a long time. Just because they follow a rich and powerful boss doesn't mean they're anything special. A bunch of lackeys!"
"Stop being a sour grapes!"
"Keep swearing!"
"Sigh, whether you're strong or weak, you're still a player."
Viserys, observing everything, couldn't help but sigh at the players who resembled a rabble.
Viserys shook his head in disappointment, but fortunately, he hadn't initially intended to turn the player legion into a disciplined and ruthless army.
On the contrary, it is precisely this willingness to fight at the slightest disagreement, to do whatever one pleases, to be reckless and defiant, that makes player legions dare to charge even if their health bar is exposed – this is the style a player legion should have.
"System, increase the registration limit on the official website to three thousand. I have a feeling that after these players log off, the number of people registering will be huge."
Retracting his attention from the players, Viserys instructed the operations officer, Little Fireman.
"Host, the game's popularity is about to reach a new level. Do you intend to change the official website's character model?"
Upon hearing the little fireman try to sell him the official website model that would cost him a thousand kingdom coins, Viserys quickly waved his hand and refused.
When the game wasn't popular, he was asked to spend money to change the game's official website model. Now that the game is popular, he's asked to spend money to update the official website model again. Doesn't that mean his game's popularity was for nothing?
Blue Star.
Just as Viserys had predicted, most players started telling their friends and family about this groundbreaking game, A Song of Ice and Fire, almost as soon as they logged off.
The number of veteran players in the group that was renamed "Ice and Fire Vanguard" by Viserys has skyrocketed, and as offline players post pictures in the group, the discussion is extremely heated.
I eat goji berries like they're my main meal: I'm anxiously waiting for my helmet while I'm registering.
Mantou Xianren: Hey, didn't the person upstairs firmly believe that everyone in the group was a scammer helping the game's official team deceive people? How come they've already pre-ordered the helmet?
Loves Pineapple Pizza: Exactly, take my advice, if you can't handle this game, then let us scammers get hooked.
I eat goji berries as my main meal: Did I really say that? I don't remember doing that.
Ghostfire Boy: You've completely forgotten your roots! Have you forgotten our initial goal of exposing this scam? Gala Goji Berry, you're not like this!
I eat goji berries like they're my main food: You should return the virtual reality headset first.
Ghostfire Boy: I advise you not to talk nonsense! I never registered on this game's official website, it's a complete scam!
Try it all: Everyone, check out the latest update on the official website!
Screenshot:
The first update introduces the mercenary system, allowing all guilds in the game to become publicly known mercenaries of Pentos City under His Majesty's introduction, while secretly waiting for the right opportunity to conquer Pentos City for His Majesty.
Update 2: The number of beta test slots for the game has been increased to 3,000.
Update 3: Silver Chests added. Guilds completing the Pentos City mercenary quest have a chance to obtain Silver Chests. Note: Silver Chests contain the Valyrian Steel Sword, a unicorn foal, and a griffin egg.
Update 4: Fixed some bugs.
FBI Director: Holy crap, are silver chests really that amazing? If I could get a silver chest and open it and get a griffin egg, wouldn't I instantly become a top player in the game?
Calling a mouse a duck: If you can get the silver treasure chest, you can become a superior person in real life, I'm telling you this first, including the brothers in the guild.
Our Flagless Brotherhood is determined to get the Silver Treasure Chest. If any brother manages to get it first, we can discuss the price offline!
Fengyun Xiongba: Hello brothers in the group. I'm a straightforward person. In real life, I'm from the Lin family of Jianghuai. My father is Lin Tian. Those who know, know. I'm the biggest spender when it comes to games.
I'll be starting a guild tomorrow. If any brothers are interested in joining, come join me. Each person will receive a 20,000 RMB red envelope, and there will be a monthly salary of 3,000 RMB per person. I only need 30 people. Casual players are not welcome.
Minister of Revenue Non-stick Pan: Boss, you're awesome! Do you want a Fire Mage?
Mu Fazhi said: "President, what are you doing? Don't you want us anymore?"
The appearance of a big shot named Fengyun Xiongba, who claimed to be the young master of the Lin family in Jianghuai, immediately increased the discussion surrounding the game.
Storm Nebula Rift: @StormHero, recruiting isn't just about talking, Lao Lin.
【Red envelope】
Before the group members could recover from the Lin family's young master's extravagant recruitment, a sudden shower of more than a dozen red envelopes bombarded the online group members with stars.
Sister-in-law, I'm coming out: Wow, that's a huge sum, five hundred! This is definitely the biggest red envelope I've ever received!
Mantou Fairy: @Storm Nebula Rift, are you also going to create a guild? My profession is blacksmith, and I was one of the first players to get into Ice and Fire. Do you want to recruit me?
Storm Nebula Rift: Brother upstairs, come find me directly after you log in tomorrow. I am from the Ming family of Jianghuai. The Lin family member is giving out 20,000 red envelopes. I will give each new member a 25,000 red envelope, and the monthly salary is 3,500.
In Jianghuai, Lin Yan, the third young master of the villa, put down his phone with a cold face, not taking the behavior of the second son of the Ming family to heart at all. He then went to the computer desk and began to carefully read the introduction on the game's official website.
For Lin San Gongzi, who was tired of playing or spending enough money on almost all the popular games currently on the market, a 100% realistic virtual game was just what he wanted.
The Zhao family.
Zhao Xiaotian looked at his father, Zhao Hongtian, and placed his hands on the other's desk:
"Dad, you've seen the photos. This game is already a hit. The young masters from the Jiang and Lin families have already started spending money to recruit players!"
"Right now they just see it as a new game, but once they log in, given their vision, they will definitely think about securing a place in the game and the future benefits in the real world."
After all, I dare say that within the next thirty years, absolutely no game will reach the level of *A Song of Ice and Fire*.
"Third brother?" Zhao Hongtian looked at the newcomer.
