Infinite Mask Game.

Chapter 394 Perpetual Right

Wei Miao sat on the single sofa, staring intently at the system window in front of her.

[Note: The player community has been pre-implemented after the game update and is currently in the testing phase. Congratulations on obtaining testing access!]

The rules for this trial are as follows: The system will open the community portal to players who have obtained test qualifications. The test will end next Monday at 00:00 (Federal Time).

[This is a non-confidential closed beta test. All actions players take within the community will not be retained when the community officially launches, including the consumption and acquisition of community currency and community items, and any resulting impact.]

[During this test, players will receive a limited-time item called "Community Pass." This item will be removed after the test ends.]

[Community Pass: Holders will have access to all community facilities and can use it to purchase unlimited amounts of Community Coins.]

During the test, players can provide feedback through the system if they encounter any problems.

[The following will explain matters related to the player community.]

The community entrance is located in the newly added community section of the terminal panel. Upon entering the community, you will be teleported to a random location.

[The community section includes features such as a community map and community items; players are encouraged to explore them on their own.]

Players will engage in activities within the community using their current character avatar, possessing all realistic sensory experiences and full power.

Please refer to the "Community Code of Conduct" for other rules and regulations. Violations will be punished according to the severity of the offense.

We wish all testers a pleasant experience!

The azure system border gradually dissipated into scattered starlight.

The system prompts explained the nature, time, rules, and basic operations of this test.

Some games will open closed beta testing to players when they are close to the public beta, while other games will set up test servers and distribute additional game packages after the game is launched.

However, there are very few instances like Masquerade that insert test content into the current official game environment.

Wei Miao has been playing games for quite some time and is used to testing.

She opened the terminal panel and saw that a "Community" section had been added to the top bar.

The first thing you see is a 2D square map, with various buildings marked by dots and streets represented by lines.

However, the map only shows the area in the upper left corner, while the rest of the area is shrouded in fog and marked "not open".

Like many games, the map can be stretched.

Once a certain magnification is achieved, it can be transformed from 2D to 3D, becoming a low-altitude overhead view, using simplified virtual modeling to depict the shape of each building.

Wei Miao observed for a while.

It is clear that the currently open area is divided into four major zones by the cross street.

Each area contains several main buildings, each labeled with a name.

In addition to the map, there are also community item inventory and community rules.

Out of habit, Wei Miao read through the community rules.

In summary, the key is to avoid causing trouble.

Fighting, marching, and other acts that disrupt public order are prohibited within the community; those who commit serious offenses may be permanently expelled from the community.

Interestingly, one of the regulations concerns "reporting".

The target of the report is the existence of the community. The so-called existence of the community is defined as "the existence of a living being that carries out any mental or material activity within the community".

Players are naturally included.

However, the conditions for reporting are described as follows.

"When a community improperly interferes with the game progress of any player through illegal means, it constitutes a violation. Illegal means include, but are not limited to, threats, inducements, assimilation, and bribery; when a community provides assistance to any player beyond the scope of permission in exchange for unequal exchange, it constitutes a violation; when a community fails to provide services truthfully, it constitutes a violation..."

Therefore, it is highly likely that there are some "NPCs" within the community who can provide services to players.

Wei Miao focused her gaze on the teleportation button and made a thought.

[Do you want to confirm delivery to the community (beta)?]

"confirm."

[Note: The following features are part of the community testing phase. Player choices will be reverted when the community officially launches. Please feel free to make your choices.]

The azure notification faded after five seconds, and a new system window popped up, displaying a vibrant blood-red color.

[Note: Your skill level has been detected as "Makeup". Before entering the community, you must make a crucial decision. Please think carefully and choose wisely!]

The issue is as follows: When players reach the makeup rank, they have the right to choose whether to remain permanently in the masquerade ball! This is the "permanent residency right"!

[If you accept the permanent residency option, the terms are as follows: Your mental state can completely detach from your physical body in the real world and exist within this game from then on. The gameplay and rules of the instance will not change.]

The player's physical body in the real world will be taken over by AI, which will then act on the player's behalf.

This AI is a player model built by the system through observation and calculations since the server opened. Each player has a specially customized private model, achieving a thought convergence rate of over 98%, almost perfectly simulating the player's various decisions in the real world.

[Special Reminder: Because perfect simulation requires player memories to complete the knowledge base, accepting "perpetual access" implies that the player agrees to authorize the memory to a private model.]

[Special Reminder: Due to the uncertainty of fate, players may encounter various accidents in real life, leading to physical injury or even death.]

Players cannot freely travel between the game and reality. To return to the real world, players need to obtain the necessary access through ranked matches or certain special events.

The privilege to descend has a limited duration and can be accumulated for later use.

If a player's physical body dies in the real world, they cannot return to their original body. In this case, the system will provide some additional options, searching the player's social network and offering non-player candidates, such as relatives and friends.

Players can use the power of possession to possess additional individuals, gaining the possessed person's perception, but cannot interfere with the possessed person's behavior.

If this occurs, the arrival time will be doubled.

[Time flows at the same rate as in the real world. Players exist as digitized bodies, retaining all senses, and can maintain activity without eating.]

Players will receive a permanent buff: 100% increased acquisition rate of community resources!

This includes, but is not limited to, community coins and the duration of community items.

[If the player does not accept the right to permanent residency, the following terms apply: The player will maintain the status quo, but will have all memories related to the "right to permanent residency" erased.]

[WARNING: Players are prohibited from implying the existence of "permanent residency rights" to unsuspecting individuals in any way. Upon discovery, the system reserves the right to revoke a player's permanent residency rights and trigger penalty provisions.]

[WARNING: Test players are prohibited from disclosing the existence of permanent access rights to outsiders; this is a confidentiality clause.]

[Note: You have 72 hours to consider your choice after it is triggered. You will be banned from entering the community and dungeons until you make your choice.]

Please choose carefully! Your choice cannot be reversed!
