Chapter 24: a02 Update! Death Penalty!

Luo Yan didn't expect that, despite the rat tails all over the ground that could be picked up, and even spiders in the first floor of the underground labyrinth that were full and sleeping, there would be guys who couldn't think straight and set their eyes on those few worthless magic crystals, and even wanted to hoard some.

Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? He originally planned to open the death penalty after more players arrived, but now it seems he has to advance it.

Watching a certain ID that made him lose his appetite walk away, Luo Yan said helplessly.

"Hearing You You, can you screen the qualifications of closed beta players a little bit? I'm not saying that if you're not a high-end player you don't deserve to play the game, but can we shield the kind that are too heaven-defying? At least let them wait until the game is perfected before coming in?"

Hearing You You hesitated, and said after a moment.

"This... can't be done. Although I can withdraw the closed beta qualification, I can't issue it to designated players."

Fine.

It seems that the closed beta qualification is randomly distributed, and this part belongs to the "bottom-level code" that the Catastrophe system cannot change.

Luo Yan could only think optimistically, just treat these heaven-defying players as helping him catch bugs...

On the other side, with the release of the a02 version update, the atmosphere on the "Catastrophe OL" official website forum was as lively as a festival.

In fact, as early as the previous monster siege, there were already idle players who took advantage of the resurrection gap to go offline and update the group battle live post on the forum.

Swarms of rat tides! BOSS as high as a small mountain!

And cool spellcasting effects... although it was NPC spellcasting, rounding it up also equals part of the game experience! In just one day, they verified two things!

The first thing is that the server of this game is even more awesome than they imagined, capable of seamlessly loading so many events and scenes, and also comes with scene destruction effects and a physics engine that is realistic enough to be fake! The second thing is that the actual content of this game is definitely not just monotonous grinding and mining!

Just the density of events encountered in the novice village, the development team of this game is already quite conscientious!

For other games, wouldn't this have to be released as a separate expansion pack?

Watching the closed beta players having fun, the cloud players were also envious, wishing they could rush into the game immediately and kill in all directions with a Dragon-Slaying Sword.

"Strongly request the development team to update the screenshot recording function!"

"Strongly request the development team to delete the file and open the beta immediately!"

"Ahhhhh!!! Without Catastrophe OL I'm going to die!"

"Holy crap?! Updated again!"

"!! Surprised! This speed!!"

"Good news, brothers!!! New closed beta qualifications released!"

"Bad news, there are only four hundred new lucky ones. (Funny)"

"The second bad news, the number of appointments has exceeded ten thousand. (Funny)"

"@%#$!"

"I want to kill you all! (Angry)"

Looking at the messages swiping the screen on the forum, Zhao Jinyan, sitting in front of the computer, was dumbfounded.

The reason he was dumbfounded wasn't because the quality of the abstract netizens shocked him, but...

"Good guy."

He actually drew it?!

The game demo program had been downloaded long ago; he suppressed his heart that was jumping wildly, quickly put on his glasses, and entered the account and password on the startup page.

After waiting for five or six minutes, he suddenly heard a strange noise in his anxiety.

"Beep—"

The opening animation described by netizens didn't appear, replaced by a full screen of snowflakes.

"Grass!"

Experience Brother took off his glasses fiercely and threw them on the bed in anger.

The second-hand VR he spent dozens of yuan of huge money to buy actually crashed! What kind of spicy chicken game is this!?

Just when Experience Brother was busy fighting with the black-hearted merchant, on the "Catastrophe OL" forum, players finally seriously discussed the content of this a02 update.

Village Entrance Grandpa: "The content of this update seems to be a lot, actually very much! Besides the death penalty, it actually updated the social module and the in-game shop!"

Gou Shi: "Grandpa said a lot just now, actually also said very much! (Funny)"

Village Entrance Grandpa: "Damn you!!! Isn't this to prevent newbies from not understanding? Just refine the update content!"

Gou Shi: "Okay, stop explaining, the more you explain, the more awkward it is. (Funny)"

Village Entrance Grandpa: "@#%$!"

Gai Shi Ying Xiong: "Anyway, Nether Coins finally have a place to spend, congratulations!"

Knowledge Explodes: "But what the hell is this recruiting shop assistant? Wages are paid in Nether Coins?"

Ye Zhiqiu: "If not Nether Coins, are they paid in real money? Think about it carefully, is this possible? (Squinting)"

Knowledge Explodes: "Strategy Brother is here!"

Flower Monk Lin Daiyu: "Strategy Brother! Analyze it! So much content updated, is the public beta coming soon?!"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Don't know, I'm not an internal staff member. And although the content of this update is a lot, it's actually expected stuff; think about it carefully, which game doesn't have death penalty, social system, and in-game shop?"

Don't Wash Pants: "Holy crap?! It really is!"

Don't Wash Face: "So dangerous! Almost cheated by the dog planner!"

Goblin Chieftain: "Fake update!!! Refund!"

Bull-Headed Warrior: "Brother! Your ID is quite interesting, why not make an appointment to play together?"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Cough, saying it like that is also excessive; although other games have these systems, Catastrophe OL is after all an open-world adventure game with epoch-making significance developed by an unknown developer... In short, I'm going to start blowing, dog planner don't rush to beat me first." Ye Zhiqiu: "Although the content of this update is not much, it is not difficult to see the ambition of the development team from some details. For example, this death penalty mechanism specifically mentions that depending on the role played by the player, the contribution points deducted for death will also be different. Reasonable analysis, this should be paving the way for the introduction of different races in the future."

Pig-Headed Knight: "Succubus! Succubus!!! (Scream)"

Ye Zhiqiu: "That's right, take the succubus you mentioned as an example; I speculate that there should be some mechanism updated in the future, allowing players to upgrade the character from skeleton to succubus... or pig-headed man by consuming contribution points."

Gulping a Septic Tank: "Why is it contribution points?! What about Nether Coins? And magic crystals!"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Magic crystals? What is that? In short, explaining from the setting, the death penalty deducts contribution points, and the reincarnation consumption is also contribution points, which will be more reasonable. And explaining from a practical perspective, Nether Coins have already inflated like this just after the server opened; if I were a planner, I would definitely not link important systems to it."

"On the contrary, I can clearly feel that the planner is very carefully controlling the contribution point income curve, which means that this parameter will greatly affect the game balance. The only way I can think of to affect game balance is the future job transfer system... After all, high-level demons and low-level cannon fodder are placed together, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the former will be stronger."

Gou Shi: "Awesome! I'm convinced!"

Knowledge Explodes: "You damn still say you are not an internal staff member! I think you are a mop! (Angry)"

Ye Zhiqiu: "..."

Goblin Chieftain: "Brother, give me a closed beta qualification! When I become a succubus, I'll let you play. QAQ"

Ye Zhiqiu: "Roll!"

Village Entrance Grandpa: "Hahahaha damn!"

"..."

On the other side, at the inn at the entrance of the Beifeng Mine, Luo Yan, sitting under the abandoned stable, was peeking at the forum chat on the official website through a mirror while roasting rat tail skewers in front of the campfire.

Although he was a bit resistant to eating rat-man meat, the rat tail seemed to be a traditional Chinese medicine? In short, he planned to put aside the meat jerky that could be preserved for a long time, and deal with it with the tributes handed in by the players these few days.

"Good guy... this brother has something."

Imagining the skewer in his hand as roast duck, Luo Yan bit the bullet and smeared it, but unexpectedly it wasn't unpalatable; chewing it carefully twice really felt like duck meat.

It's a pity.

Without cumin and MSG, eating too much still felt a bit fishy.

At this time, he suddenly thought that Lei Ming City was near the sea, and walking south should be able to touch the coastline.

If he could get some kelp back, maybe he could train out monosodium glutamate.

Although he didn't know how to extract this thing specifically, he had players! Luo Yan felt more and more reliable the more he thought about it, and also wondered why a certain transmigrator predecessor didn't think of this.

"It seems that the power of one person ultimately has a limit, even a god is nothing more than that, a hundred secrets will have a loss..."

Hearing You You: "Lord Demon King?"

"Nothing, I'm just sighing... it's really nice to have a group of like-minded little partners, hahahaha."

Looking at the comments of the sand sculpture netizens, Luo Yan looked up and laughed out loud, just like a real Demon King.

"Speaking of which, Hearing You You, just watching me eat alone, do you want to have a bite too."

Hearing You You in the mirror took two steps back in fear.

"Uh, this, better not... and I can't eat in this state anyway."

"Is that so?"

While saying this, the hand holding the skewer smeared on his mouth again, "That's really a pity... actually it's quite delicious."

Just at this moment, "Bond," who was sitting on the side with his head drooping, suddenly opened his pale eyes, and a hissing low growl came from his mouth.

"What's wrong Bond, shocked by this King's culinary skills? Or... smelled the scent of a living person?"

Luo Yan laughed heartily, but his eyes gradually turned cold, and his hand pressed on the magic wand.

The cargo delivery time he agreed with Jie Ke was tomorrow evening when the sun went down.

This is not two hours early, but a whole day early.

"Lord Demon King... what happened?"

"Not clear, maybe it's an assassin."

The aura on that person was very weak, should be a master of hiding aura.

Not only that, that person's agility was also very high, actually successfully avoiding the early warning magic array he deployed around the inn!

If it weren't for the zombie he summoned smelling the scent of a living person, he might not have discovered it until now! Sure enough.

Living outside has always been too risky.

Luo Yan got up without changing his expression, made a look of urgency, flashed to the corner, and at the same time ordered Bond to restrain his aura and wait for the target to appear before making a move.

After doing these things, he held a lens in his hand, signaling Hearing You You to stand outside and feed back the situation he saw.

Maybe he couldn't wait.

Not long after he left, the figure hiding in the dark rushed out and went straight to the campfire he raised.

Is it planning to poison the food?

Hehe, good plan.

But it's a pity, he still has a backup plan.

Just when Luo Yan was thinking this, the swift figure snatched the rat tail skewer stuck next to the campfire, stuffed it into his mouth indiscriminately, and "Aowu Aowu" dazzled it.

Looking at the cat ears shaking in the lens and the wooden sign chewed out of a creaking sound, Luo Yan was stunned on the spot.

This is...

Demon Man?! This guy is also from Hell?! - (Damn masked torture, tricked me into opening the book. If it weren't for the new book, I would have asked for leave. T. T)
