The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 543: Mist Continent, The Second Beta Test Begins!

Chapter 543: Mist Continent, The Second Beta Test Begins!

Wang Shouyi yawned while swiping his phone in boredom on the evening subway.
Despite his name, he did not sell spices.
[TN: Wang Shouyi is a brand for spices in real life.]
Occasionally, he would also feel that benevolence was invincible.
—Kindness was indeed more important than righteousness.
For example, the name of his twin brother, Wang Shouren, would often incite the awe of others subconsciously. Conversely, the name Wang Shouyi would only make people who hear it smile in bewilderment.
As the host of a game’s talk show, Wang Shouyi had finished all recordings for this week. The remaining work would be the responsibility of post-production.
What he had to face after returning home was a two-day vacation.
He was generally not too busy at work.
Before the scriptwriters completed this week’s manuscript, he was so free that he played VR games like the lightsaber rhythm game [1] in the company.
When he got home, it was nothing more than a different place to play games.
Except that the machine configuration and save feature were not shared, the only difference might be that he could play games at home without wearing shoes.
There were still many young ladies in the company.
Wang Shouyi was not thick-faced enough to take off his shoes and play games in public. Probably when he was ten years older, he would have the thick face to do so. However, at that time, it would be uncertain whether he would still love games as much as he does now.
“There were too many masterpieces released last month, Halo, Detroit: Become Human, DQ, and Hades. This month has become a bit boring.
“Only the Paranormal HK gets more attention.”
It could be an illusion.
Recently, Wang Shouyi felt that the streamers on the main website seemed to have something on their minds. They were always absent-minded during the live broadcast. But, he had never heard of Fighting Cat Streaming Platform having wage arrears issues lately.
They could have provided more entertainment value in the horror game: Paranormal HK. It was as if they had suddenly become more courageous. Come on! Be more natural in your acting.
On the other hand, those female streamers have improved their acting skills. They are not as rigid recently—could it be that the Fighting Cat Streaming Platform has been giving lessons to streamers lately?
“Speaking of which, Rusty Lake’s new work is not bad. But it’s too unpopular to talk about.”
After scrolling through the latest game industry information, Wang Shouyi muttered in a low voice, “As for the games that will be released soon…”
After glancing at the preview, Wang Shouyi became a little more energetic, “Dragon Ball Z, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14… Oh, these two games are not bad! SELF [2]… this may become a niche product. Utawarerumono has launched its PC release. Ah, I can mention this on the talk show. Warcraft 3 reboot version. Oh my God, what year is it now? Can this really be treated as a reboot version?”
Um?
What’s this?
Wang Shouyi scrolled to the bottom and saw a game he had never seen when going through the release list a few days ago.
It was a wide-screen picture of a silver-scaled dragon soaring under the frosty sky.
Hey, this poster is pretty nice.
“It’s released today?”
Seeing this exquisite promotional screen, Wang Shouyi couldn’t help but click on it.
However, it appeared that the network quality was quite poor on the subway. Wang Shouyi clicked several times, but the screen turned black with a loading circle spinning when he entered the application.
However, he was even more curious because of this.
Just at this moment, the subway arrived at the station.
Forget it. I’m almost home.
I should check it out when I get home and save money for internet data usage.
The house Wang Shouyi rented was near the exit of the subway station. After leaving Metro Line 3, he returned home quickly.
The first thing to do when he got home was to turn on the air conditioner to warm up his body.
He rubbed his face and turned on the computer before changing clothes.
Before taking a bath, it is better to have a happy hunt first.
Seeing the phone he had left on the bed, Wang Shouyi reacted.
“Oh yes, I wanted to watch the promotional video.”
After delaying for a while, he did not desire to read on. However, he worked in the game industry after all. No matter if the game was good or bad, it could be used as a topic.
When he sat on the bed and clicked on the promotional CG, there was no delay this time.
Is my home network really that fast?
A thought flashed through Wang Shouyi’s mind.
But soon, the black screen began to move.
A sphinx logo with two wings emerged. Unlike ordinary sphinxes, this statue was supposed to be a person’s ” face, ” but it was nothing but darkness.
Wang Shouyi was sure he had never seen this logo before.
“What is this? Is it an indie game from a new studio?”
He muttered, sitting in front of the computer with his mobile phone in his arms and turning the volume to the maximum.
Then, he heard the complicated, unknown language ringing from all around.
Just hearing this voice gave him a chill down his spine.
It was like wearing a thin sweater and rushing outside for a walk on a windy winter night.
Wang Shouyi was inexplicably frightened. He adjusted the air conditioner’s temperature, raising it three more degrees.
The next moment, the whisper came again.
The sound of something massive roaring past from a low altitude seemed to sound behind Wang Shouyi.
He was slightly startled.
It was as if the sound was coming from behind him.
This is like a blockbuster movie. The sound effect is incredible! How do you get stereo sound on your phone?
The next moment, an “angel” with six wings of light appeared on the phone.
It stood under the dark sky.
It was impossible to discern gender through the body and appearance. The silver vertical pupils reminded Wang Shouyi of the previous dragon. Dazzling light emitted from the ends of its long silver-white hair, fluttering in the void like tentacles formed by light beams. Its body had countless star-like pupils that blinked.
It levitated in the sky, looking down at the camera.
It spoke in an ethereal voice, “Bernardino, do you want to escape your fate?”
The next moment, the pouring freezing rain crashed down!
It overwhelmingly flooded the entire screen!
Then, the screen went black again.
“My fate…”
Bernardino’s chuckle sounded from the other side of the viewer.
Wang Shouyi was taken aback.
He turned around following the sound and found that the screen on the phone was projected onto the computer screen for some reason.
“Fate is like a spider web. The more you struggle, the tighter it is.”
A young voice sounded, and the ice-blue pupils lit up on the pitch-black computer screen.
“Fate is the Wheel of Divine Transporter, leaving traces after it has passed.”
A rich and deep voice came from his phone.
“This is fate, and I’ve missed it.” Bernardino’s voice blared on his TV.
“I want to ascend beyond all.”
A voice sounded.
“I want to overcome failure.”
Another voice sounded.
“I want to rise higher like the stars.”
“I want to change the past.”
“I want immortality.”
“I want a happier life.”
“I want……”
“I want—”
Countless voices stacked together.
Not only his mobile phone, computer, and TV, but also his oven, his refrigerator, his alarm clock—even the nine squares of glass on his windows. Wherever there was a place that looked like a screen, it was covered by dense eyes crowded together.
A strange light lit up in his room.
He could not see the light source, but the room gradually became brighter and brighter—he was overwhelmed by the more brilliant light, and his surroundings changed from pitch black to pure white.
“I want…”
Wang Shouyi heard it suddenly, and his voice sounded in the CG.
The average person might not be familiar with their voice. After all, the sound you hear would be distorted.
However, Wang Shouyi often heard his voice because of his job. That was why he was able to notice it immediately.
His voice echoed in the white space:
“What do I want?”
The next moment, strange words appeared in his mind:
[Trying to establish a connection with the Mist World…]
[Connection has been established.]
—Faceless Deity Studio wishes you a happy game.
