249 Starting in Three Days
Although the 100000 slots for Ready Player One’s beta test were only a drop in the ocean compared to the total number of gamers, it was already a very large group.
After all, even at the peak of many games, there might only be a few hundred thousand concurrent players.
Now, although the game wasn’t officially released, there were already millions—or even tens of millions of people fighting for the slots to participate in the beta test.
At least half of the 100000 people were gathered in Angelica’s live stream room, and even though they might not like to send comments to interact with the live streamer…
However, now that they had obtained the qualification to participate in the beta test, they couldn’t hide the joy in their hearts. They would comment in the comment section to show off.
Therefore, the comment section in Angelica’s live stream room had become a battlefield. Players who had been selected to take part in the beta test were expressing their happiness in the comment section.
The players who were not qualified to take part in the beta test made a wish to shut up the lucky ones.
Since Angelica was the host, although she would maintain the order of the live stream room from time to time, she wouldn’t deliberately interfere in most cases.
It wasn’t until very late that the discussions about the qualifications finally calmed down a little.
At this moment, most of the slots had been distributed. The remaining people who hadn’t obtained the qualifications already knew in their hearts that they weren’t the lucky ones.
They naturally had a lot of regrets about it, but fortunately, they still had Angelica. They quickly decided to join her live stream room to watch the game content when the beta test officially started.
Even if they couldn’t play the game, they had to understand the game as soon as possible!
At the end of today’s live stream, Angelica smiled and said to everyone.
“Then today’s live stream is about to end. I have to say goodbye to everyone.”
“I believe that tonight will be an unforgettable night for many of you. However, regardless of whether you are qualified to participate in the beta test or not, please calm down.”
“After all, games aren’t everything in life. We still have to face the real world and normal life.”
“Therefore, for those who have obtained the qualification to take part in the beta test, I hope that you can take your good luck seriously.”
“As for those who can’t take part in the beta test, it will be officially opened soon. When the time comes, please join my live stream room to support me!”
“Alright, that’s it for today. I’ll post the details of the beta test on my social media account after asking Su Ping. Please stay tune on my social media account.”
After saying it, Angelica turned off her live stream. She was also very curious and concerned about when the beta test would start.
After all, according to the date Su Ping had given, the beta test would officially begin in the next few days.
The game would be officially released in less than three weeks. If the beta test started too late, there would be no point in testing. At that time, it would be better to officially release the game without starting a beta test.
After ending the live stream, Angelica sent a message to Su Ping.
“Are you free? You can tell me when the beta test will start, right?”
Angelica had asked Su Ping the question before, but he had always fooled her.
Of course, the actual reason was that the game development company didn’t give a specific answer.
When Su Ping brought the game that he had almost completed to the game development company for negotiation, the volume of Ready Player One shocked the entire management of Steam.
Since Su Ping’s games were no longer sold exclusively on Steam, the other game development companies soon got the news too.
One could say that it shocked the top brass in the international gaming industry. No one expected Su Ping to come up with such a bombshell after a month of silence!
No one would doubt the success of Ready Player One. Everyone would only guess what the world would be like after the game was officially released.
That’s right, everyone agreed that the game Ready Player One would likely affect the entire world!
It wasn’t just affecting the entire gaming industry, but the entire world!
It was also because of this that the preparations for Ready Player One encountered many problems.
The game’s volume was too huge, and there were too many players. It made the server work excessively. Nobody knew how long they would need to optimize the server. Hence, the game development companies hadn’t given Su Ping an accurate answer.
It was even a question of whether the game could be officially released in a month.
Today, when Su Ping had finished his work for the day, he suddenly saw a message from Angelica. He smiled and said.
“Don’t worry. The game development company has already given me an exact date. The beta test will officially start in three days!”
“The news will be officially announced by the major game development companies around noon tomorrow. Of course, if you want, you can use your account to announce the news tonight.”
“I believe that if the news isn’t released today, at least 100000 people around the world will get insomnia because of this, right?”
Hearing it, Angelica couldn’t help but smile and say, “You’re such a smug. Your game isn’t a beautiful woman, alright? Why will there be so many people who can’t sleep and are thinking about it?”
Su Ping retorted, “You don’t understand. For people who like to play games, games are more attractive than a beautiful woman!”
“Wait, aren’t you a gamer? Oh! I get it. Since you’re already a beautiful woman, you can’t understand what I mean, right?”
Su Ping didn’t think much of it when he said it, but Angelica didn’t know it.
Su Ping’s remarks delighted Angelica. She couldn’t help but wonder if Su Ping had said that on purpose.
Afterward, Angelica and Su Ping talked about the beta test. When it was morning, the two finally ended their conversation.
At this moment, when everyone was getting ready to go to bed…
An update on Angelica’s social media account made countless people lose their composure and shout.
“The beta test will start in three days!”
