Chapter 6: Chapter 6. The first batch of beta testers

"I'm an NPC," After saying this to the mirror, Lucius took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and tried to make his image look majestic enough.

And expressionless.

Three days have passed since that day. In a few minutes, it will be time for players to log in to the game. As for the blue coat on his body, it was the one he wore when he first traveled to this world a long time ago. Old Charlie, of Beit Street, had told him that it seemed to be worn by all the inhabitants coming out of the shelters.

"I'm an NPC," Lucius practiced again facing the mirror he picked up from outside.

The nature of this 'New Job' is completely different from the sales job he was in before. The spring-like smile and polite attitude should never appear on a manager anyway. After all, this is a wasteland that obeys the law of the jungle. To survive in this wasteland, his image does not necessarily have to be a tough guy, but at least he must give people enough confidence and a sense of security.

Touching the line of his cheek, Lucius thought in his heart, should he get a scar on his forehead? Or just get your hair done into a punk mohawk? After all, this is a wasteland that obeys the law of the jungle.

So handsome. It will probably affect the sense of substitution.

"Master."

Lucius, who was looking at the mirror button, lifted his chin expressionlessly.

"What's wrong?"

Popo said in a low voice.

"According to the information I have checked, NPCs in games usually don't call themselves NPCs."

The expression on his face froze slightly, Lucius coughed lightly and said.

"Of course, I know……"

Facing the mirror, he muttered again, "...I am the manager of Shelter No.404."

It's almost time for the appointment, Lucius thought.

Three hours ago, the cultivation cabin had already completed the synthesis of clones. He also made an appointment on Penguin with the four 'Lucky Guys' who had qualified for the beta test. Put on the helmet before 9:00 p.m. find a comfortable position to lie down and Log in to the game on time.

Just when Lucius was thinking about what kind of posture he should take to appear in front of the players, a 'Ding' suddenly sounded in his mind.

Immediately afterward, a line of text appeared in front of him.

【 Mission Completed! 】

Lucius's heart tightened slightly.

coming!

...

"Hastily! Absolutely!"

In the living area next to the resident hall, in an unremarkable room, four training cabins were unlocked at the same time, and the translucent hatch doors were opened.

Sitting up from the open training cabin, Johnny was dumbfounded, looking around, his face was full of surprise, even dull.

"This...Is it the game world?!"

Up until a minute ago, he was wondering if this could have been an elaborate prank. However, just as he was lying flat on the bed wearing a fully charged helmet and was about to fall asleep, a ray of light pierced through the darkness and shot at him. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a strange room.

I was wet. It was as if it had just been fished out of the pool. The wind blowing from the air outlet above the head fell on the shoulders, and it was obvious that the liquid was being evaporated little by little, taking away the heat from the body. There is also a faintly unpleasant smell in it.

Johnny was startled suddenly, his eyes widened.

vision!

smell!

Tactile!

Taste!

hearing!

All five senses!

Awesome! !!

This immersive physical sensation made his eyes fill with tears. I didn't expect to see fully immersive virtual reality technology in my lifetime! This can no longer be described in words!

It's not just him.

The other three players who sat up from the training cabin also showed the same shock on their faces.

"F*ck...I thought it was a joke."

"Oh my god! You're so f*cking completely immersed!"

"Is the technology so advanced now? Why have I never seen it on the news??!"

"Hiss...there's so much pain." A player pinched himself and said with an excited expression.

"Who are you? NPC?"

"Damn NPC, your mother is NPC I'm Badass Bunny! Who are you?"

"F*ck? Boss?! I'm a Gale! 8th Level Gale! Why do you look like this? Hahahaha, you really look quite funny."

"F*ck off! Call me boss again, I will let you know what a rough guy is... By the way, this game is interesting, and the appearance has been set? I don't know if the public beta version can pinch people."

Badass Bunny pinched himself, although he grinned in pain, but his face was full of joy.

Excited!

Dreams come true!

Johnny, who was in the next bed, stared at both eyes, motionless, trying to digest the shock in his heart. Besides him, there was another guy sitting still, who should be Tomorrow Seeker. I saw that this guy was staring at the space between his legs in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"The character is set as a male character by default? By the way can we create a female account??"

"Ohoho, look someone is so coquettish! You must be Night Walker."

"I am Tomorrow Seeker..."

"F*ck?! Tomorrow Seeker?! Good brother I always thought that you are gentleman type man but...you understand what I mean, right?"

"Get out, I'm just talking casually. The brother next to me is Night Walker, right... Are you all here?"

Seeing the three of them looking at him, Johnny finally came to his senses.

Realizing that he was still naked, he quickly picked up the uniform hanging beside the training cabin and put it on his head, and said casually, "Well, I just arrived... So we play this game? Is there no tutorial for beginners?"

"I don't know, we just came here."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the room opened.

A man in a blue coat came in from outside. Behind him is a robot in the shape of a wastebasket. The tube-like body looks a bit naive, but the streamlined shell and polished silver paint are full of sci-fi. The eyes of the four players all looked straight.

"NPC!"

"Exactly like a real person!"

"Is this really a game world? This is just too real!"

"Quiet," interrupted the twittering, Lucius glanced at the four players in the room, and said slowly, "Welcome to Shelter No.404."

"I'm the manager here."

"Code name—Dawn."

The air was silent for a moment. The four players were unexpectedly honest, staring at him with bated breath, afraid of missing any details of the plot. It seems that his aura has successfully controlled the field.

Lucius breathed a sigh of relief and continued speaking according to the prepared script, "First of all, I have to tell you a piece of good news. The war is over. But the bad news is that our world has changed beyond recognition. If you expect to go home to find your mother immediately with your luggage, it is obviously impossible."

"Now is the 200th year after the apocalypse. Fortunately, we have successfully survived the most difficult years. You are luckier than 12 billion people to be able to stand here, and now I need you to realize as soon as possible The status quo, and then fulfill my declaration under the banner of the People's Federation - rebuild our homeland!"

"The one next to me is my assistant. Its name is Popo an artificial intelligence. You can ask it if you have any questions about the shelter or if you don't understand."

The above is the opening remarks. The next batch of players is coming, Lucius will say it again. After all, it was finally compiled.

On Popo's side, Lucius had already informed him of what he could say and what he couldn't say, so he didn't have to worry about leaking his words. In fact, it’s okay even if you slip up. Any place that cannot be explained can be prevaricated with the sentence 'This is a game setting'. There is no perfect setting these days. If you have to be serious, you can find bugs in the news broadcast.

Seeing that Lucius finally finished speaking, the player whose registered nickname was Get Up Ten Times A Night hurriedly asked.

"Where is Brother Light? I mean, the game planner who gave us the helmet."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Lucius replied expressionlessly.

"How to log out of the game?" Badass Bunny continued.

"Go back to the training cabin and lie down, you can log out normally."

In fact, there is another method. Abnormal states such as coma, sleep, and death will also cause the connection to be interrupted, but Lucius does not want them to try it at will. Lying in the training cabin is more energy-efficient, and it will be troublesome to deal with corpses lying anywhere.

"What about the level? Where is the interface of the player system? Why can't I find it?"

As soon as 8th Level Gale asked this sentence, before Lucius could answer, Tomorrow Seeker next to him interrupted and asked.

"What about the pinching system? Is the role setting unchangeable? And the gender of the character—"

"Enough, you can ask these questions... Cough, it's not your turn to ask questions yet," Interrupting these people's endless questions with black lines all over his face, Lucius threw the four booklets into their hands with a straight face and a businesslike attitude.

"I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here, and at the same time tell you what you need to pay attention to. Especially what can be done, don't even think about anything."
