Build a game empire from scratch

Tang Mingyue was lying on the massage table, enjoying Miss Dongmei's massage service.

Aside from the fact that Ms. Fuyumi's clothes are more sexy and the massage environment is more ambiguous, the massage itself is completely formal.

But for Tang Mingyue, he felt the pressure of two hands on his back, one on the left and one on the right. One was the soft palm of a human woman, and the other was a cold and hard metal palm.

One cold and one hot, one soft and one hard, the perfect contrast brought about by the combination of flesh and machinery brought him great satisfaction, even making him happier than the massage itself.

One word to describe——

So cool!

It was not in vain that he spent so much effort to find this young lady with a metal left arm.

Every time he thinks of this, he wants to complain——

Ever since the Yunmeng development team left Chang'an, Lin You never heard back, as if he forgot to promise him.

But Tang Mingyue didn't know anything about the development of virtual reality games, and he didn't know how long it would take to develop a young lady into the game, so it was hard to rush.

After waiting for a long, long, long time, I finally received feedback.

Lin You sent him a message: "The beauty you want is ready."

Tang Mingyue asked excitedly, "Where is it?"

Lin You: "You guess?"

Tang Mingyue: "?"

Tang Mingyue: "??"

Tang Mingyue: "???"

Tang Mingyue: "Give me some clues!"

Tang Mingyue: "Where are people?"

Tang Mingyue: "Boss Lin? Boss Lin? Are you still there?"

...

Tang Mingyue: "Are you kidding me?!"

...

...

Just like that, Lin You only left a sentence of "Guess", and disappeared without a trace.

Tang Mingyue had to scour all the special stores in Night City, looking for a girl with a metal prosthesis.

Considering Lin You's vicious taste, just in case, he even went into the store that catered to female customers and gay customers.

After sacrificing all my spare time looking for it for a whole week, I finally found it at a hot stone spa.

Various service options such as [General Massage], [Therapeutic Massage], [Hot Stone Massage], [Essential Oil Massage] and [Multiple Massage] can be provided here.

Tang Mingyue immediately came to comfort himself with a "five massage packages".

Since then, he has become a loyal customer here, and his loyalty only beats for Miss Dongmei!

In just half a month, he spent money on two (modified) cars on this young lady with mechanical arms, so that the results of the last two death racing competitions were not satisfactory.

——The "John Wick" development team is developing "John Wick 2" at a leisurely pace, while constantly enriching Night City.

Modified cars and racing cars have always been the focus of maintenance, and various modified components have been updated.

Many components require players to reach a certain level of [racing prestige] before they are eligible to purchase.

[Racing reputation] is not limited to the top three. All participating players will have a guaranteed reputation reward, and then they will get another reputation according to the range of the player's ranking.

Tang Mingyue hasn't updated the car for two weeks.

But he has no complaints or regrets, and when he summoned the dragon, he made a wish for Miss Dongmei to go home with him without hesitation.

Probably because he is too flattering, and normal people other than him prefer to be massaged by ordinary shop assistants with fleshy hands rather than being massaged by an iron lump, so that Dongmei is not very popular.

In contrast to the two, the intimacy between him and Ms. Dongmei grew rapidly, and in the end they really succeeded in embracing the beauty.

Tang Mingyue was so excited that he trembled slightly from the tips of his hair to his toes when he rubbed synthetic motor oil on Dongmei's metal arms for maintenance in his own house for the first time.

The feeling can only be described in one sentence——

This life... worth it!

But now he is not at home.

During the day, Dongmei had to go to work, so he went to a massage parlor to take care of business.

He was lying comfortably, but Fuyumi suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "There is something glowing in your pocket."

"?" Tang Mingyue, whose consciousness was blurred after being pressed, raised his head, looked at the coat hanging on the rack, and found that the pocket was indeed glowing slightly.

"Help me take it out?"

"Okay." Dongmei walked over in small steps, took out the glowing invitation letter and handed it to Tang Mingyue.

Tang Mingyue took it in his hand, still a little dazed, and took a moment to realize what happened. He quickly opened the panel and searched for keywords, and immediately saw the latest news released by Lin You.

"Closed test?"

"Are you kidding me?"

He hurriedly got up from the massage table, bid farewell to Miss Dongmei in a panic, and returned to his house to activate the invitation letter.

Two doors made of mahogany appeared in front of his eyes. The doors were hollowed out with traditional cloud patterns, and the door frames were also carved with exquisite dragon patterns and branch patterns, which looked exquisite and elegant.

But Tang Mingyue couldn't care less about admiring the details of the door, he didn't stop for a second, he pushed the door open swiftly, and walked into the light.

*

The light dissipated, and Tang Mingyue stood on a bustling, busy street full of people.

——Shirtless, with a posture of massage essential oil.

This maverick shape instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

Whether it was the native NPC or other players who also entered the game for the first time, they all stared at him with wide eyes.

"???" Tang Mingyue was also stunned.

Not because he realized he was shirtless, but—

"What about the novice guide?"

"Who am I? Where should I go? What do I need to do?"

No one could answer these three questions.

Because this is the price of voting for [Option 1], I would rather play the game in advance if the game is not complete enough.

The cooperation between Lin You and Xiaomeng is almost equivalent to a wishing machine, which can make the game development speed advance like a rocket. Recently, the staff of the "Chang'an" development team have deeply realized this.

But even so, it is impossible to prepare for the test with more than 1 million players within 2 hours.

Because many systems, even the combat system, are still being perfected and debugged.

So, how did Lin You get ready for players to come in and experience it in only 2 hours?

The answer is also very simple - not to the system.

Whether it's a combat system, a skill system, or a mission system, a planting system, an in-depth interactive system...

None for the player!

Give nothing!

Without the assistance of these things, the players instantly changed from "Children of Destiny" in the game world to ordinary "Passerby".

Enter Chang'an City completely as an ordinary person.

In this way, the player's ability to destroy is greatly limited.

After all, there is no extraordinary body and force, and there is no channel to improve force. Even if you want to do bad things, you don't have that ability.

Don't forget, Chang'an has several armies maintaining law and order!

Even with superb martial arts skills, it is difficult to fight against, let alone a completely ordinary player.

In Lin You's plan, when players come in at this stage, they can basically only travel, watch the excitement, and experience the market life atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty in advance.

After that, as time goes by, the game functions will be opened to players in stages, which is basically safe.

Players played the game ahead of time, and the development team had enough leeway to perfect the game.

Win-win.

It's just that he didn't expect that after he opened the [closed test] in only two hours and gave the players a surprise, the players only took one and a half hours to return him a surprise:

Chang'an City, the prison is full!

Criminal Ministry Prison, Jinwu Prison, Jingzhao Mansion Prison, County Prison, Tufang...

All prisons, one counts as one, all are overcrowded!
