Chapter 1037: Legend of Mir’s Public Beta

Chapter 1041 – Legend of Mir’s Public Beta

“Eh, why are you all running in that direction?” A spectacled student stopped someone running past him.

“Stop pulling me. There is an Internet café there having a promotion for a game’s public beta. They are letting us play the game for free, and whoever discover any bugs in the game, the game company will give up to 100,000 USD as a reward!”

The spectacled student had wanted to go to the library to prepare for his exams. But after he heard from this fellow student, he changed his mind.

Damn! Revision can wait, and even if I fail, I can retake the exams. How can I miss out on playing games for free at the internet café?

Furthermore, if I happen to discover any bugs, I will get 100,000 USD! Who cares about graduation with so much money? I can return home and enjoy my life!

Oh… what is a bug?

In this era, internet café is a new trend, and it was formerly known as the Computer Services Center.

Most university students are willing to spend and accept new things.

That’s why most of the internet cafes in China at this time are located near the universities. Some internet café bosses even open up near high schools.

Some high school students have more spending money than university students.

Feng Yu stood in front of an internet café in Beijing, looking at the crowd. The majority of the crowd are university students, followed by high school students and some office workers. These are all his potential customers. But why are there a few middle-aged women mixed in the crowd? Did they think the internet café is giving out free eggs?

The students are all eager to log into the game. This internet café is having a promotion. The players who reached level 7 in the game will get Lehaha beverages for free. What happens if those students knocked into the middle-aged women?

The internet café boss managed to ask those middle-aged women to leave. He still wants to sell beverages in his café. Someone is paying him for letting the students play online games for free, but he will still get profits from selling drinks.

This café has 30 PCs, and the boss can hardly manage the sudden crowd!

Feng Yu looks at this internet café. In this era, 30 PCs can be considered a big internet café. Still, compared to the internet café with a few hundred PCs in his previous life, it is nothing.

Currently, there is no internet café operating system. The boss of the café must register the time his customer enters and calculate the charges when the customer leaves.

This might be the reason why internet cafes only have less than 50 PCs. It might also because of the internet speed at this time. If someone is using one of the PC to download something, everyone else in the café cannot play online games.

Feng Yu remembered the time when he was playing Legend of Mir at an internet café in his previous life. His character lagged suddenly, and someone in the café will shout. “Hey Boss is someone downloading something?! We cannot play!”

The boss will make his rounds in the café and ask the person who is downloading to stop. The internet café has allocated hours for customers to download stuff from the internet. But other than those hours, no one can download anything.

If any of the customers download anything, it will use up the internet bandwidth and also use up all the storage in the PC. The PCs in internet cafes are mainly using 40G hard disk. 80G hard disk is considered high-end PCs, and it is impossible to find a PC with 160G there. The PCs with 160G are mostly bought by individuals at high prices.

Many internet cafes in major cities are booked out by Feng Yu for the day and are open to the public for free. After that, the café staff will inform their customers that they can win soft drinks, cigarettes, and up to 100,000 USD if they play Legend of Mir!

Of course. This is only a marketing gimmick. The 100,000 USD will be given out eventually, but the one who will win it will be one of Feng Yu’s staff.

But if anyone can find a bug which the programmers cannot find or Feng Yu did not know, Feng Yu will not mind giving this person 100,000 USD. This person must either be very lucky or is an expert in programming!

Nevertheless, this marketing gimmick had made everyone who plays PC games to notice Legend of Mir. Even the ones who don’t play games will join in.

……

“Welcome. Our internet café is having a promotion today, and all our PCs are open to the public. We also have some ongoing contests. The fastest player to level up in Legend of Mir, or find a specific in-game item, will get prizes like soft drinks, cigarettes, etc. If you discover an in-game bug, let me know. If it is verified to be a bug, there will be attractive cash prizes. The highest cash prize is 100,000 USD!”

The ones standing outside of the internet cafes promoting Legend of Mir are female university students. They are paid 50 RMB for the day, and food is provided. All of them are pretty, and many people went to the cafes for them.

Feng Yu saw all the PCs are taken up and he sat at the PC he reserved earlier. He clicked on the Legend of Mir and registered a Taoist Priest.

In China and Southeast Asia, Taoist Priest had been enhanced and is more powerful.

Also, Taoist Priest is more suitable for solo play and has easy controls. Magicians and warriors are harder to play and can’t solo the bosses in the game.

The quests start from killing chickens to killing deer, scarecrows, cats, etc.

At the start, there are not many players, and Feng Yu can easily kill a chicken or deer. But after an hour, more players logged on, and the starting town is full of players.

“Boss, boss, I found a black wood sword!” Someone shouted.

A pretty female staff walks over and looks at that player’s monitor. She shouted. “Congratulations to PC 13 player for finding a black wood sword. He won a packet of Hong Ta Shan cigarette!”

The player stood up and waved to the rest of the players proudly.

Feng Yu, who was sitting beside that player, had found the black wood sword a long time ago. These people do not even know how to accept quests or make in-game currency, and Feng Yu had overtaken them easily.

Someone moved closer. “Hey, where did you find the black wood sword?”

“Why should I tell you? This is a secret.”

“Here, this bottle of green tea is for you. Tell me… I will not tell others.”

The PC 13 player took a few sips of the green tea and said. “I got it from killing those scarecrows.”

This player immediately returns to his seat and starts chasing after the scarecrows. Blackwood sword has better specs than the beginner sword he is using.

For this open beta, the drop rates had been increased. If not, the black wood sword will never drop from the low-level scarecrows. Players must kill orcs or man-eating flowers for that item to drop.

This black wood sword is the best weapon for beginners and can be used up to level ten. This weapon is very rare, and people will envy you if you found one.

But the in-game store still has a more powerful dagger, but no one can afford it yet.

Another player shouted. “I am level seven!”

Everyone in the café looks at that player jealously, and Feng Yu logged out from his account. Playing games is really a good pastime.

Seeing the rest of the players have no intention of logging off, Feng Yu believes that his Legend of Mir will be successful despite being launch much earlier! It might be more successful than in his previous life!
