Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 15 Everything is ready, just waiting to set off!
Jingzhou University.

Student dormitory.

After taking off the virtual reality headset, Wang Zixu rubbed the bridge of his nose, reached around the pillow, and turned off the noisy alarm clock.

The next class will be a guidance session on entrepreneurship and employment.

This class is completely useless, yet the teacher takes attendance every time and records it in the final grade.

Upon arriving at the classroom,

After taking attendance,
Wang Zixu then lowered his head and started swiping on his phone.

He was organizing the game's storyline and updating his gameplay experience for the day.

If all goes well, this post will also be featured.

He has two featured posts so far, both of which are the most popular on the site, and he has earned a total of 50 points.

Although the points redemption function is not yet available.
But he was well aware that this was a crucial stage for initial capital accumulation.

Once the game truly becomes popular and turns into a chaotic battleground, it will be virtually impossible for a casual post to become a trending and highly recommended thread.

Unless you can stay ahead of all the other players at every step.

That's too difficult.

……

……

"The first thing I do every morning is give myself a pep talk: 'Today's report is due, my boss is pressuring me for the PowerPoint presentation,' so I turn on my computer and take a deep breath!"

"A new message popped up on WeChat, my colleague was urging me to hurry up with the progress, I said I'd be right there, don't rush..."

Chen Jiajun hummed an off-key tune to amuse himself, his fingers tapping the keyboard idly, but his eyes never left the rendering progress bar on the screen.

As soon as Shen Yingying's two million arrived in his account last night, he immediately put the project files into the rendering queue.

With the support of money,
Efficiency and quality have improved by more than one level.

What would normally have required several all-nighters was now completed with high quality and quantity.

I opened the final generated game cutscene and quickly went through it.

The visuals are smooth, the details are exquisite, and the atmosphere is captivating.

"It's done."

Chen Jiajun smiled and casually saved the file.

Now we're just waiting for Shen Yingying to personally inspect it.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

"System, can you be a little more proactive? I don't have to remind you every time."

"Ding--"

【mission completed! 】

[Rewards: Five days of lifespan, 500 reputation points, and a random item.]

[Item drawing in progress...]

[Obtained: Grade F Physical Enhancement Needle.]

Fitness enhancement injections?
Chen Jiajun's gaze sharpened; this thing seemed to be able to improve health.

Upon opening the warehouse interface, a syringe gleaming coldly lies quietly in a warehouse compartment.

【F-grade physical enhancement injection (consumable): Produced by Future Group, after injection it can slightly repair damaged cells, improve metabolism, and enhance immunity.

P.S.: Study papers, work papers, don't worry, a shot of energy booster will ensure you don't die young.

Uh……

The functions seem pretty good; it repairs cells and enhances immunity.

There seemed to be no problem, but for some reason, Chen Jiajun had a feeling that he had been tricked.

Well, at least it can improve my physical condition.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

With a slight thought, a syringe suddenly appeared in Chen Jiajun's hand.

There were no instructions or any warnings.

He stared at the cold-gleaming needle tip, hesitating whether to give the injection.

He had personally experienced the system's amazing capabilities.

Thinking of this,

Without further hesitation, I steeled myself and plunged the needle into my arm, slowly pushing all the liquid in.

There was no pain or discomfort.

I felt a cool liquid flow into my body, followed by an indescribable feeling of comfort, as if my whole body had been cleansed.

I felt much lighter, and even my breathing became easier.

Chen Jiajun's eyes flashed, and he brought up the information panel.

[Host: Chen Jiajun] [Age: 23]

Lifespan: one month and ten days

[Health Value: 23 (Prone to sudden death, excessive sleepiness!)]

Warehouse: None

[Reputation value: 906]

[Exchange Shop: Not yet unlocked (can be unlocked upon reaching 1 million reputation points)]

Although the health value only increased by a mere 6 points,
However, Chen Jiajun felt that the physical enhancement injection must also come with a time-limited buff.

He felt particularly energetic, with an unusual surge of vitality coursing through his body.

This state... feels like my body has returned to what it was seven or eight years ago, where I could easily stay up for ten consecutive all-nighters.

Of course, this is just his own feeling.

at this time,

The task panel suddenly unfolded in front of me, with blue text appearing line by line.

The closed beta testing has concluded, and the opening cinematic has been rendered. Everything is now ready; we await departure.

[Task: Launch the game on the TIG tournament website, enter the open beta phase, and achieve a peak concurrent player count of 1000.]

[Time Limit: 15 days (Automatic settlement after 15 days; if the task is completed ahead of schedule, you can submit it manually)]

[Rewards: Lifespan, reputation, and random items will be awarded based on the completion of the mission (the more players online, the higher the probability of obtaining rare items)]

The public beta test was completed within fifteen days, which wasn't too difficult for Chen Jiajun.

After all, a basic requirement for participating in the TIG tournament is that the game must be in the public beta stage.

With only a few days left before the start of the competition, Chen Jiajun originally planned to make some changes in the next couple of days.

Achieving a thousand simultaneous online users is a bit too much of a challenge.

The virtual helmets were a gift from the newbie pack. There were only 100 in total, and I received 11. I used one myself, so I only have 88 left.

Players who have pre-ordered the game on the official website haven't received their orders yet.

First, I'm too busy with work; second, I'm too poor to afford the shipping costs.

Currently, 60 players have made reservations, excluding the 11 who have already received their reservations.

(There's no bug here. Eight helmets were initially sent, but three members didn't reply, so they were sent again.)
More than forty helmets were shipped at once, including some to remote areas, which required additional payment.

The total shipping cost was equivalent to his monthly food expenses.

In addition, they've been working on game CG all along.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun temporarily suspended the shipment.

but now,
The task actually requires a maximum of one thousand players to be online at the same time.

Nima!

I don't even have a thousand virtual reality headsets in my hand.

To acquire more virtual helmets, you can only exchange them using reputation points.

One hundred reputation points can be exchanged for a virtual helmet.

Chen Jiajun did a quick mental calculation and realized that to reach a thousand people online at the same time, he would need to change at least nine hundred and one more helmets.

Converted to reputation points, that's 90,100 reputation points.

I can't even think about it.

I worked hard for a month, staying up all night every day to complete the tasks, and only managed to accumulate a little over nine hundred reputation points.

Now you need to spend 90,000.

How dare you! !
The most troublesome thing is that the task requires "simultaneous online presence," not cumulative online presence.

This means that these 1,000 players must log in to the game at the same time.

How can this be?

Not everyone has the same biological clock.

It's obvious that players will log into the game at different times.

If we try to experience it during off-peak hours, it's uncertain whether the peak number of online users will even reach 800.

This damn system's task is practically killing him!

Chen Jiajun's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He remained silent for a long time, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, before suddenly stopping.

His tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

"Oh...I understand..."

He had an idea; this task was not actually unsolvable.
