WTYTIAAN Chapter 115

Chapter 115

Yan Yunqing casually refreshed the forum, and a new post popped up, floating at the top, followed by a “new” symbol, indicating it was a newly released post.

However, the title of the post attracted all of Yan Yunqing’s attention.

[Breaking News—Internal Beta Time Changed! Check the Official Website! It’s Earlier!!!]

Yan Yunqing was shocked and subconsciously looked at the countdown timer at the top of the panel. Because this countdown was calculated in hours, Yan Yunqing didn’t notice anything wrong when he first came in.

After all, with a time as high as four digits, it’s hard for anyone to tell at a glance how many days that time represents.

2352:34:26

Yan Yunqing converted it and found that the time was indeed earlier.

According to the initial calculation of over seven thousand hours, the internal beta should have been in August, which meant there should have been at least three thousand eight hundred hours left. But now there were only two thousand three hundred hours left, roughly only 98 days.

Yan Yunqing: ???

Doesn’t that mean there are only three months left?

Yan Yunqing felt a tingling scalp for a moment, not knowing what the people behind this game company wanted to do, and why they wanted to bring the internal beta time forward.

Could it be that something he didn’t know about had happened, leading to the earlier internal beta time?

Yan Yunqing pressed his temples, a little confused.

He clicked on the post. In just a few minutes, the post had already reached dozens of replies.

[Breaking News—Internal Beta Time Changed! Check the Official Website! It’s Earlier!!!]

Main Post: [Screenshot of the Time Before the Change] [Screenshot of the Time After the Change]

1L: Someone’s spreading fake news again. Have you ever seen a game being released earlier than scheduled? I’ve only ever seen delays, never early releases.

2L: Um, wait a minute?!

3L: I clicked in wanting to curse, but after seeing the main post, I was stunned. I rushed to the official website to check, and the time really has been changed!

4L: !!!! Oh my god, I just posted a thread asking Guitu Company to serve me the poop so I could taste how salty it is, and Guitu is really planning to serve it up??

5L: Okay, please call the person above the only prophet on the entire forum.

6L: It really is earlier?? It’s about two months earlier, what’s going on? Is Guitu Company finally unable to resist and preparing for an early release?

7L: No, they haven’t even announced the way to obtain internal beta access, yet they’ve already moved the time forward? Guitu, are you really just a makeshift team?

8L: No, haven’t you guys realized that Guitu is a makeshift team? From the beginning, there was no publicity, and it all relied on the players themselves to pull it together and promote it. That’s how Guitu got promoted. Have you forgotten how simple the official website was before the first gameplay recording came out?

9L: So, does anyone know how to get internal beta access? There are only three months left until the internal beta opens, and I still don’t know how to get it, I’m anxious, I’m the Anxious King.

10L: Don’t worry, as far as I know, there is no publicly available way to obtain internal beta access yet, and there’s no news of guaranteed access either. At least the famous content creators haven’t received internal beta invitations.

11L: So, in three months, I’ll be able to see my Joker master, right?

12L: 11th floor, people can’t, at least they shouldn’t…

13L: I don’t want to, I just want to be Joker’s dog, sob sob sob sob.

14L: I’m different. I think Xavier in the new gameplay recording is so handsome, especially when he reaches out and uncovers the Ace of Hearts and says “You concede,” I feel like hearts are popping out of my eyes!

15L: I don’t care about anyone, I only care if the game is really like it is in the gameplay recording? Ahhhhhhh I’m going crazy wanting to play the game, please let me get internal beta access and log in immediately!

16L: What’s wrong with Guitu Company? Suddenly bringing the game’s internal beta time forward? Combining it with the new gameplay recording, I have reason to suspect that this game hasn’t secretly become a [redacted] game with a foreign IP, right? Don’t let me be looking forward to it for three years, only for it to be a scam in the end!

17L: Heh, does this even need to be asked if it’s a scam? There are only three months left until the internal beta. Have you seen any news claiming a breakthrough in brain-computer interface technology? The basic equipment for a full-dive game hasn’t even been made, where are you going to get a full-dive game to play?

18L: That’s true. This point can’t be criticized. Without the equipment, where are you going to play a full-dive game? Could it be that they’re saying it’s full-dive, but actually serving up a low-quality VR game? Or maybe it’s just an animated game… relying entirely on post-production video editing, and the only thing you can experience is constantly tapping and going through story animations?

…

34L: Don’t quarrel, actually my uncle is someone from above. He told me that after this game comes out, it’s best not to play it first. Wait and see.

35L: Got it, the “uncle party” that everyone’s been asking for on the forum has also appeared. But how come this “uncle party” isn’t from Guitu Company? Above? Which above? Are you saying that Guitu is very likely a brain stem microwave oven? That if you die in the game, the brain in reality also gets microwaved to a crisp?

36L: Really? Don’t scare me,ah？

37L: 36, don’t be afraid. These kinds of “uncle parties” have been popping up endlessly for the past three years. They’re all bad-mouthing the game. It’s obvious that competitors are making trouble. Don’t pay attention to them. I ignore these kinds of “uncle parties” completely. I only listen to the news released by official media, I don’t listen to rumors, I don’t believe rumors, and I don’t spread rumors.

38L: hhhh here we go again, the theory that competitors are suppressing them. Guitu has been around for more than three years, hasn’t released a single game, and doesn’t even have any publicity. Are there really competitors who would fear this kind of company, this kind of game?

39L: It’s true that there are quite a few people on the forum who are muddling the waters and belittling Guitu. We don’t know, and we don’t dare to ask! Maybe it’s because Guitu hasn’t launched anything for three years but still has so many players looking forward to it, they’re jealous.

40L: Same as 34th floor, someone in my family is also in “above,” and they did vaguely reveal this news to us a while ago. As for full-dive games and whatnot, the current technology is definitely not mature. It’s really better to wait and see.

41L: Ah? A second “uncle party” has appeared, what’s going on? Is it really a brain stem microwave oven?

…

The replies that followed covered everything, discussing why the internal beta time was brought forward, and there were also discussions about the new gameplay recording. Yan Yunqing went to take a look. Not only did they release the scene of Joker sneaking into the Mantipelle prison and bombing everywhere, and rescuing people along the way, but also the part where he, as Xavier, bet against Ino was selected and released.

[The black-haired, red-eyed youth lazily sat on a leather chair, his back against the backrest, his fingers caressing a playing card, looking at his opponent with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.]

[He reached out, his fair fingertips touching the back of the golden card, pushing the card to the center of the betting table.]

[The camera focused on the corner of his mouth, and the thin lips slightly turned upwards, lightly spitting out two words]

[——“You concede.”]

[His fingertips flipped the playing card over, and an Ace of Hearts appeared in front of everyone.]

[The black-haired, red-eyed youth turned around, grabbed a handful of chips and raised them high, the golden chips falling like rain, sounding the start of a new round of revelry.]

——[“This is an underground kingdom full of money, desire, resentment, and sin.”]

——[“And I will become the only king here.”]

Two lines of subtitles appeared below the video. Yan Yunqing couldn’t hear the sound. Everyone discussing the new gameplay recording thought that these two sentences were said by the newly appearing Xavier, and that he must be the ultimate boss of the casino.

Yan Yunqing: ???

Slander, this is slander!!! He never said these words, okay! This must be what that Morgan pseudo-god said, the damned Guitu Company, putting this subtitle together with his victorious scene, isn’t that implying that he was the one who said these words?

This is complete and utter slander!

The person behind Guitu Company has ulterior motives!!!

Yan Yunqing gnashed his teeth and did a set of meow-meow fists at the air, imagining that there was a culprit in front of him being beaten up. His mood didn’t improve much, but instead became even more frustrated.

So angry, wanting to hit but unable to hit, this feeling is so frustrating!

Yan Yunqing took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, barely calming down his emotions.

“Don’t let me find you!”

Yan Yunqing snorted coldly, closed the new gameplay analysis post. Out of sight, out of mind. Just looking at those comments guessing whether he was the mastermind behind the casino made Yan Yunqing angry. He wasn’t Morgan that black-hearted ghost!

Tsk, he also experienced malicious editing for once.

Returning to the first post that discovered the early internal beta time, Yan Yunqing fell into deep thought.

The internal beta time being brought forward must mean that something happened, but Yan Yunqing didn’t know what that thing was for now.

However, the replies in the post that vaguely said that the higher-ups were paying attention to this game caught Yan Yunqing’s attention. Perhaps other netizens didn’t care about such “uncle parties” and thought they were fake.

But Yan Yunqing felt that these “uncle parties” were most likely real.

Everyone else regarded this game as a pie in the sky that hadn’t been realized yet, but only Yan Yunqing knew that behind this game was indeed a real world.

A game connecting two worlds. Yan Yunqing didn’t believe that on the Blue Star side, this game wouldn’t have abnormal manifestations. Just advertising the world’s first full-dive game would be noticed by the hat-wearing uncles.

Yan Yunqing didn’t believe that this company could have any regular establishment procedures, so once it was noticed by the hat-wearing uncles, it meant that the strange things behind it would definitely be known to the people above in the country.

As for whether the national daddy would pay attention to it, Yan Yunqing didn’t know. But looking at these replies, Yan Yunqing guessed that national daddy seemed to already be taking action?

Yan Yunqing rubbed his chin, in the future, when the game officially entered internal beta, wouldn’t he even meet people from national daddy?

“Chief! The internal beta time has changed!” A thin man with glasses exclaimed, “It’s nearly two months earlier!”

“What?!” The middle-aged man who heard this bad news strode over, leaning on the back of the glasses man’s chair, leaning over to look at his screen.

“Look, the original time was three thousand eight hundred hours, and now there are only two thousand three left. It’s two months earlier!”

The middle-aged man took a closer look, frowned, and slammed his fist on the table. He stood up and ordered, “Notify the person in charge of the vanguard team, tell them the time has changed, the internal beta is two months earlier. They don’t have much time left, tell them to prepare as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”
