It can be considered that this complex task has been completed. After running a long way, the black cat chooses to change back into a human form, and enjoy the night scene in the mountains and forests along the way.

Many creatures in the game are fantasy species, just like the wood-bone dragon, often with a strange beauty. In the woods, there is a small group of mushroom villains gathered together, exuding a faint blue light, when something passes by, they shrink back into the ground, leaving only a small umbrella outside, and the mycelium drifts in the wind. . Some trees with thick trunks and the longest years have slowly grown human-like shapes, and some have even opened their eyes to see things and opened their mouths to make sounds. There are also tentacle-like things overflowing from the roots of the trees, stacked on top of each other, and like the fleshy tails of insects, they keep flapping outwards.

It looks weird, but after watching it for a long time, it is still a little cute, and there is a feeling of fantasy being satisfied.

The mage walking through was dressed in black, as if he wanted to blend in with the night. While admiring the scenery along the way, he said to Lin Ling, "Your game is really good for people to lose their sanity."

"But you seem very excited." Lin Ling can see all the character data in the background, "I have to say that your character's excitement value has been slowly rising."

"Hey, it seems that something has been revealed." Yu Yuan chatted casually, "I used to want to make a game of your style, but unfortunately, I managed to make a half-finished product and there is no text."

"Fantasy Journey" is now a popular game released worldwide. Fantasy elements seem to be the eternal pursuit of human beings. Many players will find all kinds of dreams come true here.

Although he has no chance to work in the industry related to making games for the time being, but after thinking about accepting the job of a tester, being a temporary worker in a fantasy world seems to be an option, and it can also be regarded as a way to accumulate more experience. After all, there is still a lot to learn in this era.

Lin Ling just wanted to say "Will you come to apply for a job tomorrow and we will be colleagues?", but at this moment, both inside and outside the game heard wolf howling not far away, and the distance from Yu Yuan seemed to be getting closer. come closer.

Although they couldn't tell the difference between the calls of different wolves, both of them had an inexplicable intuition - this was the black wolf catching up.

"Would you like to go offline directly?"

Yu Yuan glanced back, and it was estimated that Hurt's words failed to persuade the black wolf, but after thinking about it, he did not answer Lin Ling's suggestion, only said: "It's fine, it doesn't matter."

The black wolf has never seen the appearance of a black cat turning into a human, just like Prince Lister. Unless it shows some flaws, normal people will definitely not connect cats and people at first sight.

The mage continued to walk down the mountain, as if he was just an ordinary passerby, not worried about being hit by the black wolf, and even asked Lin Ling: "Have the wood-bone dragon boss been beaten? Is there still time for me to go in a group? ?"

When reporting the coordinates yesterday, if it wasn't for an emergency, he would definitely choose to sell the coordinates. Pumpkin gave him the science and was willing to pay a lot of money for the world boss coordinates.

"...It's over at twelve o'clock."

"It's a pity." Yu Yuan said to himself, "Then wait for the next time."

He now slowly understands one thing, the feasibility of making money in the game is higher than he thought - after all, he has the talent of the European Emperor, and the drop rate is astonishingly high. Brushing the dungeon once is equivalent to brushing the entire studio for half a year. .

The sound of the wolf running is getting closer and closer, and not far away, a human figure has entered its line of sight.

The black wolf quickly chased after him. Under the moonlight, the man in front turned his head. It was a human mage, holding a staff in his hand. A pair of red and blue eyes looked at each other for a brief moment.

The black wolf quickly turned back into a human form to show that he had no intention of attacking, and said straight to the point: "Hello, have you ever seen a black cat? It didn't take too long to descend from the top of the mountain. direction."

It was originally very confident that cats would not be faster than wolves, but the black cat that appeared before the flying dragon overturned its cognition; it was also confident that it could follow the smell of cats to find black cats, but the smell of cats has long been broken. I don't know where, and all kinds of strange species in the primeval forest are also interfering with judgment.

If he didn't really suspect that he might have been unable to find it by himself, he would not choose to ask a human mage who appeared here.

Yu Yuan's eyes were very sincere, and he comforted the other party in turn, "Mr. werewolf? Don't worry, first describe what the cat you are talking about looks like, I'm the Great Magister, maybe I can help you."

In reality, Lin Ling watched him talk nonsense in a serious manner, and laughed until he nearly broke the table. He could already foresee the result of Yu Yuan's next nonsense to deceive the black wolf into other directions.

"It's about this size, with black all over the body and dark blue eyes." Crofts drew a size, "runs very fast, much faster than the average cat."

He added a little embarrassedly, "I don't know why, but the wolves may not be able to outrun it."

Yu Yuan showed a kind smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't see it, are you sure you're not looking in the wrong direction? Could it be just hiding somewhere on the top of the mountain, after all, it looks very small."

"No, it must go in this direction." Crofts took out something from his body and showed it to the mage in front of him. "If you are a mage, can you use the cat's thing to help me divination? I can give you a lot. remuneration."

He didn't expect to see this familiar cloth black wolf, Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, which means that when he threw such a thing down and signaled the black wolf to stop chasing it, the black wolf picked up the pendant and took it all the way. Come on top of the mountain.

He tried his best to keep his expression as natural as possible, just as he was about to refuse to say that he was just an elemental mage and did not know astrology, but at this moment, Fu Zhi had a new idea, took the cloth black wolf, and said, "I will help you. Divination."

He put the small pendant in his palm, closed his eyes slightly, muttered words in his mouth, and said to Lin Ling in his mind, "Help me make some special effects."

Elemental Mage and Astrologer are two professions in the Mage branch, and there is a big gap. Lin Ling put an astrologer's most basic special effect of star spell formation in his palm, and it still looked like that.

After a while, the light disappeared.

Yu Yuan opened his eyes slowly, as if he was an inscrutable mage, and said, "I can sense where the cat you are talking about is."

"Did he say goodbye to anyone before he left? In fact, I can sense that the cat you're talking about doesn't seem to want to be found. It's really fast and has come a long way now."

Hearing this, Crofts was silent, and the wolf ears on the top of his head seemed to droop.

This scene made Yu Yuan feel a little itchy. After pretending to be a cat, he was slapped around in a fancy way. He liked dogs more than cats. I wanted to grab one, but I had never done it before because of the reserved cats. The cat was also caught sneaking the tip of its tail. It really missed the opportunity to **** the wolf.

There is a height difference between the two, especially the heel height of Crofts, Yu Yuan needs to raise his head slightly to meet each other's eyes. As if afraid that the other party would not believe it, he added: "It is on its way home now, and it will live with other cats in the future, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Mr. Werewolf." The mage emphasized again: "The difference between races is difficult to bridge, especially if it is just a cat. Just like your werewolf has a family, it also has its own companions."

Crofts had searched all the way before he came here, especially the smell of the cat was cut off halfway. He even wondered if the black cat would accidentally fall off the cliff for a moment, and he was worried all the way. But now, the human mage he met, at least told him that the black cat was okay with the results of divination.

As a complete outsider, Lin Ling, who had watched all this, felt that Yu Yuan was very suitable for preaching to the God of Light, and he was absolutely right.

The sky is full of stars, and as the night gradually fades, it seems that it is almost dawn.

Yu Yuan stretched out his hand, wanting to return the black wolf pendant, maybe he left something related to the black cat for Crofts.

"Thank you." Crofts reached for it.

But at this moment, he glanced at the top of the mage's head and seemed to see something, a little surprised, "There seems to be something under your hat?"

"Huh?" Yu Yuan subconsciously touched the pointed mage hat with his words, the hat tilted a little, revealing more hair, and...

Crofts' eyes widened suddenly, and the light in them was almost as bright as the moonlight reflected on the earrings, full of incredible meaning.

"You...really human?"

"Yu Yuan, off the assembly line!" Lin Ling also saw the thing above his head, and immediately said: "There is a problem with the data ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, the cat ears are exposed! Run away!"

Not only the cat ears hidden under the hat, but the cat tail is also under the robe!

At this moment, the mage was like Cinderella who left the stage at the midnight dance. He accidentally left a pair of crystal slippers, and he had a broken ear inexplicably. The moment he touched the werewolf's fingertips, he didn't even return the pendant, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Before getting off the assembly line, the black-clothed mage, who was so frightened that the cat's ears stood up, left only one sentence, "Don't ask me who I am, be the patriarch well, and be worthy of your cat!"

Don't let the cat's efforts down, brother.

Crofts was left alone, still stunned.

In the jungle, the clear and cold moonlight covered him with a layer of cold light. He looked down at his fingers, and there seemed to be residual warmth left after just touching them.

The black cat, the human mage, appears here...

"......It's you."

The person just now is his own cat.

He said cats would return to their own clan, to their companions, and to have their own lives.

He took the small pendant with him.

Crofts stood here for a long time, as if there was still a smell here. Until the sky broke, until the sun rose from the east, the sun fell from the clouds, and the warm light almost melted the cold gem at the tip of the wolf's ear.

He turned his head, preparing to go back to the mountain, where there were also a group of werewolves waiting for him.

He will definitely find his cat again.

——

Before he could see what the quest reward was, he had to go offline completely. After getting out of the holographic cabin, Yu Yuan sent a message to Lin Ling using the terminal, saying that he would be here first today, and that he would also appear in the game company tomorrow.

Dinner is solved with nutrient solution again. The deep red nutrient solution with chili flavor is made into a shape like jelly. Scoop it up one by one, it tastes like a minimalist version of Mapo tofu. After eating, he pulled out a drawing book in his room and sat at the table to draw a picture.

The pencil rustled, and the picture gradually took shape.

What he painted is a wolf, or a werewolf of another style. The artist can only be regarded as average, and he can only see a general shape. It is the type with the body shape of a man but the head is a wolf, which is more similar to the word "wolfman". The presence.

Perhaps the occupational disease 70 years ago was still committed, and whenever he had inspiration, he couldn't help but jot it down. At that time, his occupation was related to games. He first learned programming to develop games. Later, he became more and more in this industry and began to like creative planning. He even quit his own job and wanted to make new games.

However, in his memory, the game he wanted to develop independently was just a prototype, and he had to choose to freeze because of the disease. When he woke up in this era and was in the Thawing Center, he tried to search for the game of his year. Sure enough, there was no follow-up, just a seed of failure.

But this did not prevent him from maintaining his previous habits and trying to find a career related to game production.

The picture in the pen ends at a werewolf wearing a suit with flowers on his chest, like a gentleman in a suit, or a werewolf godfather. I don't know how many creatives have used such a design from before to now.

After thinking about it, he tapped the tip of the pen on the screen, and Yu Yuan added a pair of small glasses to the wolf's eyes. He took out another red pen from the drawer and tapped the tip of the wolf's ear a few times.

That little crimson, like a red earring.

The next day, Yu Yuan went downstairs to the game company early in the morning.

Lu Mingyuan's game company is called "Abyss Technology". In addition to "Fantasy Journey", there are also many other game products, mainly terminal games and holographic stand-alone games, which are all small projects. Only "Fantasy Journey", a holographic online game, has become A phenomenal hit around the world.

When Yu Yuan first researched game companies, he submitted a lot of resumes, but he never submitted to Abyss Technology. After all, the recruitment standards of such large companies are already terrifyingly high, especially for positions related to development. Crash is about to join as a game tester here.

Ying Tao, who had a relationship last time, came down to pick up someone, smiled at Yu Yuan, and took him upstairs to the conference room last time. All the issues that should have been dealt with have been communicated, and the compensation agreement Yu Yuan has been signed directly.

The standard nine-to-five work, the salary is far higher than the various jobs Yu Yuan tried to apply for, and the housing allowance is provided for living far away... All in all, it is a job with almost no flaws.

The only thing that made him have the last bit of hesitation was the fact that if this kind of work was so well paid, why would there be a shortage of people, and he would be recruited to the outside world. Thinking of this, Yu Yuan asked directly.

"Every company that makes games will recruit game testers, and there are generally age restrictions for people in this position." Ying Tao explained: "And about holographic games, some places may not be as simple as you think, such as If you are trapped in the game for seven days, some people will indeed have a lot of negative emotions, even despair."

Ying Tao didn't say these words last time, maybe it was because Yu Yuan was about to become a member of their company, so he made it clear.

"Not everyone has this ability of yours, Mr. Yu."

She has already introduced Yu Yuan to this job. Another situation is that the psychological state of testers needs to be checked frequently for a long time, especially for distinguishing between virtual and reality. below the average of the crowd, indicating that he can distinguish reality from the game very well.

Yu Yuan nodded, signed the contract, Ying Tao took it and stood up, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and smiled with his eyes bent, "Mr. Yu, welcome to 'Abyss Technology', I hope your love for the game will remain the same. ."

The door of the conference room was opened, and the man leaning against the door coughed lightly, as if someone had said what he was supposed to say, and said to the people in the room, "I'll take him to the holographic equipment room."

It was Lu Mingyuan who appeared.

Yu Yuan stood up to say hello, Lu Mingyuan waved his hand, "Come with me."

Yu Yuan followed him into the elevator. Today was his first day at work. In the elevator, the two of them were silent, as if they had not thought about what to say.

Ying Tao had previously told him that Mr. Lu was called directly in the company, so Yu Yuan asked tentatively, "Mr. Lu, will I be fixed in the game group "Fantasy Journey" from now on?"

The testers are recruited uniformly, and they will be assigned to teams in various games in the future. Occasionally, there will be teams that act as temporary workers. Ying Tao just didn't say which team he is in.

"Yes, a new gameplay has just been launched recently, and it is currently in the testing phase."

There was a slight height difference between the two, Yu Yuan tilted his head slightly and noticed that Lu Mingyuan's ears had pierced ears. He is still wearing glasses today, his suit is dark, and his attire is more serious, but his expression is light.

Seeing the other party's meticulous care of his hair, Yu Yuan couldn't help but think about whether he had to consider straightening and repairing his slightly curly black hair.

Soft, curly hair that might give the impression of being a little casual?

After the elevator door opened, Lu Mingyuan took him all the way inside. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor on this floor, and there was no one outside. When I got to a room that was farther back, I swiped my card to enter, and there was a huge holographic cabin inside.

This holographic capsule was bigger than the one Yu Yuan had replaced, and it seemed to be fixed to the ground. It was not a model released on the market, but a special instrument for internal testing.

Lu Mingyuan introduced: "This will be exclusively for you in the future. You can check in here before 9:00 a.m. every day, and the technician who connects with you will communicate with you about the specific process in the game."

"There's nothing wrong with the rest, you can log in directly now." He signaled that Yu Yuan could go in.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Yu Yuan walked up, activated the holographic cabin, and sat in the seat inside.

Lu Mingyuan smiled at him, helped him close the hatch, and left a sentence "I wish you a smooth first day of work" before the hatch slowly descended.

The hatch was closed, and he stood here silently for a while, staring at the white dome-like device, the metal surface glowing with icy light. After that, he turned around and opened the door.

In the darkness, a familiar voice sounded.

"Hi, friend, I'm your technician Lin Ling." Lin Ling's voice was very energetic.

"Or you?" Yu Yuan was a little surprised.

"Yeah, after all, it's a technician. A technician is like a brick. Where do you need to move it?" Lin Ling complained a little, and then said, "I'll first introduce you to today's work, or the next period of work. content."

"good."

A virtual projection appeared in the darkness in front of him, an introduction to the game.

"You just happened to be here. The production team of "Fantasy Journey" has recently launched a new mode. Now it is in the internal testing stage. Yu Yuan, do you play a lot of RPG games?"

RPGs, or role-playing games, have many branches within this broad category. Yu Yuan played this type of game in the era before he woke up, and naturally liked it very much.

"It's a lot of fun, but it's the older kind." He smiled.

The games of his era have become antiques today, but there are still real nostalgic players who will recall them.

"That's easy. The new series recently made by the Fantastic Team is a few RPGs, which are ready to be added to the game as the main event in the next stage." Lin Ling said: "This is the information of today's small game, Look at me and explain to you."

A background introduction appeared in front of Yu Yuan, as well as an introduction to characters and gameplay.

Wells Durrell, the old king of the Duchy of Sutton, died suddenly of a sudden illness. His brother, Duke Fernando, took the opportunity to launch a mutiny to seize the power of the country and became the new king who usurped the throne. However, many ministers and nobles were dissatisfied with the new king, who was rumored to be violent, and privately spread that he was a 'pseudo-king', and chose to support the suppressed former king's eldest son, the younger crown prince Durand Durrell . At the same time, other forces are secretly competing, and a power struggle and contest between the royal families has begun...

"The main content is a power struggle, with a bit of suspense, and some places require players to reason, which is difficult. You can just play the game normally. It takes a lot of time to play the game. Now this stage is mainly to test different plot lines. Fluency and cohesion are guaranteed to be free of bugs.”

During the internal test, the testers tried thousands of times without any problem. If the impact of the potential choices can be passed through, it means that the game is ready to be officially opened to players. Holographic games are not like the stand-alone RPGs of Yu Yuan’s era, which only had a single option, and had a very high degree of freedom. A word that was right or wrong could lead to various things, so a lot of testing was needed to eliminate potential problems.

"Who is my character?" Yu Yuan guessed that he was a courtier of the two parties, or someone else in an important position.

"The identity library is random, different characters have different difficulty levels, and start skills and values ​​are also different. Players' own equipment cannot be used." Lin Ling briefly explained, "Currently, the identities include Knight Commander, Minister of Finance, and King's younger brother Noel. Dukes, close officials of the crown prince, etc., the corresponding forces are different, and the true endings are also different."

This kind of game often leads to different branches due to specific choices, and finally leads to different endings. The ending is good or bad, and it is even possible for the protagonist to die halfway. Yu Yuan asked again, "Is there a chance to read the archive?"

"What are you thinking, we are a holographic game, and NPC memory is not easy to modify. Kiss, there is only one life option, please protect yourself and don't die. I will accompany you to get acquainted with you at the beginning of the game, starting in the afternoon. It's all up to you, I have to be responsible for writing other things, and I can hear if you encounter any problems."

"OK, then I'll go straight."

Read the internal information: No. A10080, Yu Yuan.

Select to enter "Fantasy Journey".

Enter the test server and select the test copy "Haze of the Kingdom".

starting.

Start generating player data, generating characters.

Random identity selection...

Lin Ling was still speaking there, "Among the characters with the lowest random probability, the bishop of the kingdom is the easiest. This character is basically immortal. If you can..."

Seeing the random result, he stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

Yu Yuan was also silent.

"...this game is gender neutral?"

I saw a row of text displayed in front of me:

Your identity: Queen Edith Matilda.

"It may be that the gender information has not been read. The identity database of male and female characters is different. It all depends on which gender the player chooses. If you want to manually set the gender again, change the character, or if you don't mind, the queen's identity is also It's very rare, and the random probability is very low."

He also explained: "The rarer the character, the more at the center of the storm in the plot, the more exciting the game experience will be."

Yu Yuan still wanted to refuse, "I'd better change it."

"No, no, listen to me first." Lin Ling hurriedly said: "The queen has a hidden identity that is a witch, that is, a mage. If you can unlock the mage restrictions after completing the task, the queen's combat power will be particularly strong."

"Different characters have different starting talents and skills, and the content that can be unlocked later is also different. Some characters like the Chancellor of the Exchequer have no attack power at all. It is estimated that you can only play as a suspense dungeon and a micro-infrastructure dungeon. Think carefully, the queen is here. In the middle and late stages, as long as you can unlock the status of a mage, the combat power is only lower than that of the knight leader, and the difficulty of the game will also be reduced."

The strength party mage player Yu Mou was shamefully moved, hesitated for a while, and finally clicked OK.

"The queen is the queen, as long as you can pass the customs."

OK to enter the game.

Kingdom Haze is loading.

Happy gaming.

...Dear Her Royal Highness the Queen.
