Chapter 7 Mission accomplished! Rave reviews?
The formal appointment letter will be sent the next day.
After the graduation ceremony, Luo Yan returned to the dormitory and happened to see a messenger bat landing next to the window, its wings beating rapidly against the glass window.
Throwing away his shoes and walking to the window, Luo Yan opened the window and took out the copper pipe hanging from the bat's leg, and took out the letter stuffed inside.
As expected, the letter was sent by Priest Jeffrey.
While expressing care and greetings, there is also a string of bank card numbers and passwords at the end of the letter.
"...You are an independent child. I believe that choosing to become a demon king is a choice you made after careful consideration, and I am proud of your choice."
"As for living expenses, your father whom you have never met actually left you a sum of money, and now there is still some money left. Now that you have grown up and graduated, I think it is time to give it to you and let you decide how to use it."
"——Priest Jeffrey."
Luo Yan read the letter to the end and accepted the bank account and password with gratitude.
Although I don’t know how much the money is, I think it will be no problem to survive this month.
From next month, he will be a salaried person.
But then again, does the Demon King he is about to take office really have room to spend money on?
Luo Yan remains skeptical about this.
Luo Yan carefully wrote a reply letter with gratitude. Luo Yan rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the copper tube tied to the bat's leg.
Finally finished everything, he sat down on the edge of the bed, ready to concentrate on studying the "natural disaster" system left to him by a certain senior time traveler.
br/> EXP: (30W/30W)
HP: (800/800)
MP: (2600/2600)
Constitution: 8
Strength: 8
Agility: 8
Intelligence: 25
Spirit: 26
Hence, although the system does not provide specific formulas for the calculation standards of these attributes, it does provide instructions for each item.
For example, physique affects vitality, recovery and physical resistance, strength affects weight bearing and melee damage, agility affects speed and dexterity, intelligence affects memory, spatial imagination, spell casting efficiency and spell power, and spirit affects mana value.
In Lint Isaac's era, the attribute panel of an imperial youth soldier with average strength was 5/5/5/5/5. It is unclear now.
As for the experience value, it is the quantification of the growth process.
As for the soul level, it determines the upper limit of the level.
But generally speaking, most people are unable to see their own soul level, which belongs to the dimension of gods.
The natural disaster system not only marks the soul level, but also uses the "LV" value to quantify the abstract concept of "strength".
For example, the upper limit of black iron level is LV10, the upper limit of bronze level is LV30, the upper limit of fine steel level is LV50, the upper limit of silver level is LV70... and so on.
At the same time, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to upgrade, and the more attribute points you gain at each level.
As for "race", it determines the initial attributes and talents.
For example, the initial attributes of human beings are 3~5, and the talents are relatively useless "balanced development" - that is, the "growth efficiency" of the lowest attributes is increased by 50%.
Taking Luo Yan himself as an example, the lowest five-dimensional attributes are physique and strength, so when exercising these two attributes, you will get an experience bonus.
By the way, attribute growth is not improved by adding points after upgrading, but occurs at the same time as upgrading.
If he mainly exercises his mental strength by fighting against the temptation of succubi at level 19, then when he completes the accumulation of quantitative changes to qualitative changes - when the level is raised to level 20, the attribute of growth will most likely be mental, and he will not inexplicably gain growth in strength and physical attributes.
It can be said to be unexpectedly true.
However, it is precisely because of this that the talent of "balanced development" seems quite useless.
After all, in most cases, mages do not need high physical fitness and strength.
In addition, most people have a "level upper limit" and can only obtain so many attribute points in a lifetime.
Even if you gain an additional 50% experience points by engaging in manual labor, the attribute points gained by upgrading will be added to your strength and physique which are of little significance, which is equivalent to a waste of valuable growth space, and the gain outweighs the gain.
"...According to the theory of the "God of Machinery", would it be counterproductive for a mage to exercise his strength?" Luo Yan stared at the attribute panel and fell into deep thought.
Although he has not deliberately exercised physical fitness, he still has attribute points allocated to strength and physique.
Obviously this is the cumulative result of living in hell for the past eighteen years in every sense of the word.
In addition, looking at his experience bar that was about to overflow, Luo Yan finally figured out why he was stuck on bronze.
It's unfortunate.
His soul level is only bronze.
If the upper limit of talent is not changed, he will not be able to break through the final bottleneck even if he meditates until old age and death... I think Lint Isaac also encountered a similar problem.
If you want to improve your soul level without side effects, "faith value" is the key!
I remember that in the morning, the faith value on the attribute panel was still 0, but it had become 113 in one morning.
Looking at this number alone, Luo Yan couldn't figure out any rules.
This value may be contributed by a player in another world, or it may be provided by a little fangirl or fanboy in the academy who admires him.
In short, further observation remains.
By the way, upgrading a bronze-level soul to a refined steel-level soul requires 10,000 faith points. A three-digit increase is only a drop in the bucket.
After studying his attributes, Luo Yan then turned his attention to the task bar.
Currently he has only one unlocked mission.
"Shoot a game promotion pv and upload it...I did, but how should I upload this thing?"
You, the God of Machinery, didn’t even create computers in this world?
Taken out the camera crystal that was previously used to shoot the promotional PV from his arms, Luo Yan held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but after waiting for a long time, the button to upload the video did not appear.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the remnants of the magic circle on the floor that had not been completely wiped clean, and his heart suddenly moved slightly.
"Is this the thing?"
A video crystal is worth 2,000 Keira, which is equivalent to one month's living expenses for him.
Luo Yan had been using this thing to record classes before, and when he thought that this magic circle might swallow the crystal ball, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But it was a pain in the flesh, and considering the long-term development, Luo Yan took out the magic crystal chalk and redrawn the magic circle, and then placed the crystal ball in the center of the magic circle.
Just as he expected.
The moment he tried to pour energy into the magic array, a dark green light instantly lit up, enveloping the clear and transparent crystal ball.
However, unlike last time, this time Luo Yan did not faint from being drained of his magic power, but stayed awake until the end.
It’s more than that.
The crystal ball also remained intact in the center of the magic circle. The smooth shell was intact, just like new!
"You didn't eat the crystal ball?" Luo Yan felt happy in his heart.
very good!
Save 2000 Keira!
At the same time, there was no wave of sound in his ears.
"The task of "shooting promotional PV" has been completed! The voting post has been opened automatically, please wait patiently for the review results..."
Voting post?
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, and soon realized something. He immediately sat down to meditate, sinking his consciousness into the depths of the sea of consciousness, and entered the official website of "Calamity OL".
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the forum, he found the video he had just uploaded through the sacrificial ceremony!
The 360-degree panoramic image with no blind spots was stretched into an extra-long 2D horizontal screen. The majestic underground world and the majestic and eerie castle directly shocked his eyes.
Little demons with fluttering wings passed over his head at low altitude, as well as the domineering and powerful fear demons, balrogs, and all kinds of demons and undead.
This, this is where I usually go to school? !
Luo Yan was stunned when he saw the video. He had studied here for three years and almost didn’t recognize it for a moment.
"...This filter is a bit awesome."
Just when he was surprised, the comment area below the post exploded.
· The starlight at night: "Holy shit!"
· The two-wheeled car: "This is a real-life demonstration?!"
· The Pig-headed Knight: "It's fake! How can the promotional PV use in-game materials? It must be an outsourced animation!"
The Great Bear: "The animation is awesome!"
The Tauren Warrior: "Succubus!!! I want to be a succubus!!! Ahhhh!!!"
The Tanghulu: "Speaking of which...the magician with the crystal ball is kind of handsome."
The Kebab Kebab: " +10086"
· Xiao Wan is not full: "Because he is the only one around who looks more like a human?"
· Excited netizens: "Is it the developer's test account? Or an NPC?"
· The crowd: "Strongly request the development team to launch a DEMO version!!!"
Hunted driver: "Strongly request the development team to launch an adult version!!!"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "Good guy, is there really a succubus in the village this time?! (Shocked)"
"..."
Looking at the replies that were being refreshed every second, Luo Yan couldn't help but froze in place. He wanted to post something to say but didn't have the function.
Just below the video is the voting page, with a perfect score of 10 and a score of 0 as the lowest. Currently, more than 500 people have participated, and the average score has basically stabilized around the number 9.8.
This is too exaggerated!
Luo Yan's heart was beating hard. He didn't expect that the video he shot casually and posted it on the forum would be a huge success! ?
Although the concerns of these troll netizens are somewhat different from his concerns, more than half of the comments on the post are clamoring about succubi. Those who want to keep a succubus as pets are just that. What the hell do you want to be a succubus? !
Soon, the number of voters exceeded one thousand, and the average score of the voting posts was firmly locked at 9.9.
【Mission accomplished! 】
· 【Rating: S】
· 【Reward: 100 closed beta qualifications】
· A three-line pop-up window flashed in front of Luo Yan's eyes.
At the same time, a new pinned post was refreshed on the homepage of the official forum——
【"Calamity OL" is open for pre-order! 】
【To thank the majority of players for their support, the development team of "Calamity OL" hereby releases 100 test accounts and download links for the DEMO program! Use any VR device and bind it to the official website account to apply for reservation test qualifications and download the DEMO program! 】
【Note: This game implements a one-person-one-number policy. Qualifications for closed beta testing are randomly issued, can be canceled, and cannot be transferred in a targeted manner. Illegal gaming behavior and long-term AFK during the test period will result in the withdrawal of test qualifications. Clicking the reservation button is deemed to agree to this rule. 】
I have to say that the timing of this post is just right.
Just when the entire forum was discussing the eye-catching promotional PV, the development team directly announced the launch of the DEMO version.
Looking at the rising number of reservations, Luo Yan was happy but also a little uneasy, worried about whether this so-called DEMO version would have any impact on him.
What should I do if a player causes trouble in the Magic City and ends up implicating me?
These guys just slapped their butts and left, but he still has to live in this world.
At least Lint never said that he could travel back to Earth.
However, Luo Yan immediately felt at ease when he thought that he was about to take up the post of Demon King.
His Demon King's Territory is still quite far away from the Demon City. I heard that it would take a month or two to walk in the underground world without using the portal.
Since there are only 100 closed beta qualifications in total, even if there are risks, the overall risks should be controllable.
Closed beta qualifications will be distributed soon.
Those who did not win the prize are clamoring about the shady story, while those who won the prize are showing off.
There are also conspiracy theories by some people. The so-called closed beta test is just a scam, and the people who won the lottery are all robots.
However, these remarks are in the minority after all.
After watching the promotional PV, most people are still looking forward to the DEMO demonstration of "Calamity OL"!
These days, there are not many conscientious manufacturers who dare to conduct online trials before the game is officially launched. How many cheating games offer paid testing and are unwilling to give people a hot bite.
Let’s try it.
It doesn’t cost any money to try it anyway.
If most people didn’t buy VR glasses at home, I’m afraid there would be more people making appointments for testing, far more than the current mere thousand.
Luo Yan wandered around the forum to see what happened to the players who had qualified for the closed beta test after they went online, but suddenly found that the number of people logged in had changed from 0 to 99.
Hand so on——
Hhi Have these people already started playing? !
Just when Luo Yan was confused, there were already complaints in the forum.
Xiao Wan was not full to eat: "What's going on???"
Geshi Yingxiong: "Why is there no interface to create a character?"
Pig head knight: "Gan! Why can't I move."
Tauren warrior: "Is there a BUG?"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "Everyone, please be patient! I just got off the line. This perspective seems to be immovable, but it actually contains a mystery!"
Roast mutton skewers: "???" : "What's the mystery here? Isn't it obvious? The DEMO player is playing the role of the crystal ball in the hand of the mage. The mage is sitting next to him. Anyone who has seen the promotional PV can guess it!"
Luo Yan was shocked when he saw this.
Have these guys traveled through time into their own crystal balls? !
Posts are continuing to be refreshed.
Ichiaki: "Who do you blame for your slow typing... But this kind of thing doesn't matter. What's more shocking to me is the way this game is opened. I don't know if you have noticed that the game screen is not actually presented through the built-in screen of VR glasses. ! ”
Kebab: “Hiss... I really feel that way when you say that!”
Sugar-coated haws: “+1, my neck turned 360°, I was stunned for a moment, I thought I was hallucinating.”
· Years Without Traces: "Well, the picture quality is also ridiculously high-definition. It can no longer be described as 4K or 8K. The texture is just like... real? Think about it carefully, my second-hand VR glasses bought for 800 yuan should not be able to achieve such high-definition. (wry smile)"
The old man at the entrance of the village: "What's the situation? From what you said... I feel a chill on my back. (Nervous)"
One leaf Zhiqiu: "One hypothesis is that this game may use some special technology that is still in the experimental stage, such as remote hypnosis."
Xiao Wan is not full: "Hypnosis???"
Ichinoichi Aki: "Well, you thought you saw the game screen with your eyes, but in fact you were asleep during the period after entering the game. What you hear and see in the game are all generated in real time in the 'GPU' of your brain... This feels like a dream, and it is a lucid dream."
Ichiba Zhiqiu: "By the way, just in case I want to say anything more, I checked online and I haven't heard of this kind of technology on the market, so the security of this technology is also a mystery. Considering that the website itself is full of suspicious elements, it is not ruled out that we may have become the guinea pigs of some mysterious organization. If you have personal safety concerns, I suggest not to try it casually. ”
Defiant Dragon Emperor: "Tear a few eggs! How can such a technology be possible!"
Jieao Yisheng: "That's right! Unless you give me a pair of glasses!"
The idea of "One Leaf Knows Autumn" quickly aroused heated discussion among everyone.
Many players who complained on the official website without playing it carefully put on their VR glasses again and returned to the game to try, and they discovered something unusual.
Leaving aside the realistic picture, the immersive feeling is indeed not something that brick-like VR glasses can provide.
It’s more than that!
越来越多的封测玩家开始发现，他们在游戏里能进行各种匪夷所思的操作，比如360度旋转视角，颠倒上下等等——
而等他们退出游戏之后，现实中的身体却还保持着他们进入游戏时的姿势，压根儿就没动过！
This is amazing!
Just as [One Leaf Zhiqiu] said, they seem to have fallen asleep in reality, and only their consciousness has entered the game world.
As for how this is achieved through simple VR equipment and a mere DEMO program, it is unknown.
Not only did the players find it outrageous, but Luo Yan, who was secretly peeking at the screen, also felt that this system was outrageous enough that he actually put players on Earth into his video crystal!
With his current knowledge, he cannot understand how Linte Isaac did it.
That might also be the realm of gods!
He could only guess based on intuition that the consciousness stored in the crystal ball might be some kind of man-made "soul mirror".
Players trigger a certain ritual after putting on VR glasses, establishing a connection with the soul mirror in another world through a special medium.
This medium is probably the stone tablet in his sea of consciousness.
In addition, this "soul mirror" is very weak, just like a ghost like "Lady Susan", which only has pure consciousness and cannot even move freely, and can only reside in a specific vessel.
However, unlike Mrs. Susan, Luo Yan saw room for growth from the soul mirrors controlled by players.
Although they are very weak, they are all complete!
Created a non-existent soul out of thin air...
This is incredible!
"...If the video crystal is replaced by a skeleton, will the player be able to have a freely moving body?"
At the same time that Luo Yan was thinking this, new words appeared on the stone tablet standing deep in the sea of his consciousness.
ulatingdiedie ininging a soul from bronze (II) to refined steel (III) requires exactly 10,000 faith points. It is difficult not to doubt that this reward is tailor-made for him.
"It's not that difficult to just summon a few skeleton soldiers."
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to wait until you get to the Demon King's Territory to do this task...
…
After finishing his meditation, Luo Yan got up from the floor of the dormitory and walked to the side of the magic circle. He reached out and picked up the crystal ball located in the center of the circle.
I saw that the originally clear and transparent crystal ball had become turbid, as if it was filled with dirty fog.
Obviously, its internal magic program has been rewritten and its original function has been completely lost.
Putting his face closer, Luo Yan could even hear the whispers in the crystal ball.
『He’s looking at me! ! 』(Screaming)
investments Closer! 』
It’s so realistic! 』
zone I even saw the NPC’s nose hair! 』
‘Let me out! I want to go out! ! ! 』(Screaming)
『Male NPC, get out of here! Get another succubus! I want the one at the end of the promo! ! ! 』(Screaming)
……
Even without movable bodies, these players still had a great time playing, and seemed to have used this crystal ball as a chat room.
"The 2,000 kelas are still lost after all."
Thinking that this crystal ball had accompanied him during his three years in college, Luo Yan felt a slight pain in his heart, and he wrapped it in clothes and threw it into the suitcase.
Although he can knock all players offline through the Sea of Consciousness, there seems to be no need to do so at the moment.
Luo Yan opened the closet, changed into regular clothes in front of the mirror, and then stuffed the letter sent to him by Priest Jeffrey into his pocket.
His living expenses have bottomed out.
It's time to go to His Majesty the Demon God's bank to get some.

(Thanks to the leader of "Cloud Pigeon" for the reward!!!)
