Chapter 1045 – Public Beta ended

The public beta for Legend of Mir had ended, and the game will be undergoing three days of maintenance before going live. During these three days, internet cafes noticed a significant drop in business. Some internet café bosses even close their shops for three days.

Some of the internet cafés used this window to expand their operations, while some renovated and clean up their shops. Some cafes eve put up posters of Legend of Mir characters as decorations without getting paid by Wind and Rain Games. They hope they can attract more customers with posters.

It is not easy to get a license to operate an internet café. Some businessmen want to set up internet cafes but could not get the license. So, they rented a less conspicuous storefront and operate without a license. They will get their friends to get customers, and their charges are cheaper than those licensed internet cafes by 50 cents per hour!

It might only be 50 cents cheaper, but it will be 5 RMB for ten hours. These shops attracted lots of students as the money they saved can be used to buy Game Time Cards. All the players knew after the Legend of Mir is officially live, there will be charges. Some internet cafes had already thought of packages for their customers. They come up with overnight packages for their customers at a package price, as they have fewer customers at night. This way, they can still make some profits.

The internet café bosses used all their tricks to attract customers.

Along the streets, one can often overhear young men discussing Legend of Mir. “Eh, is that Wind Ring any good?”

“Of course. I heard it is a set with Wind Necklace, and your attack speed will increase tremendously. You can hit the enemy three times, and they can only hit you twice!”

“Ah… It’s so powerful? But I think my skills bar is moving too slowly. How can I make it faster?”

“Stupid. Didn’t you hear of an item called Skills Necklace? If you wear that while training, your skills will level up fast.” Someone said.

“Ah… you are an expert. How did you know about all these?”

“Hmph! Do you know about the newsstand outside my house?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

“There is a new magazine <Wind and Rain – Game Strategy> on sale today! The magazine explains strategies for various games, and their main focus is Legend of Mir! The magazine also discusses the skills for Diablo. If the newsstand is not located outside my house, I might not even get one copy. This is a monthly magazine.”

“Ah? You bought such a wonderful book, and you didn’t share it with me? I was still wondering why you become an expert suddenly? Let’s go to your place now. I want to read that magazine.”

“I can lend it to you, but you must buy me a can of Lehaha’s Cola!”

“Fine… fine… fine… Let’s go now.”

……

“Eh,  what is the game company doing? They are just doing some upgrading and patching to their systems. Why do they need three days? What am I supposed to do for these three days?”

“Be content. If some players know about the loopholes or bugs of this game and not you, do you think it is fair? Three days will be over very fast. Furthermore, this shows that this game company is very concerned about the balance of the game. How about we go and play Starcraft?”

“Starcraft is so boring. Never mind… since we got nothing to play now. Let’s find more people to play together. Legend of Mir is more interesting, as we can kill other players for fun. I got to know a girl from Hang Zhou, and when the servers open, I will use the same name, and she will join my party to play together. Hahaha…”

“F**k! You can get to know girls in the game?! How come I didn’t get to know any? My character is also at a high level.”

“My warrior is very powerful and is tanking the monsters in front. That girl is playing magician, and she fires lightning at the back. You are also a magician. How are you going to tank those monsters?”

“Damn! When the servers are opened, I will switch to a warrior. No… I will switch to Priest. This way, I can bring a dog with me and let my dog tank those monsters while I chat with the girls. Hahaha…”

……

Feng Yu is currently in Wen Dongjun’s house, and Wen Dongjun is questioning him.

“Is that Legend of Mir yours? Wind and Rain Games. Don’t tell me it is not your company.”

“It’s my company. What’s wrong?” Feng Yu asked.

“What’s wrong?! After the servers are online, get your game administrator to raise my level to the max, and I want the best in-game items! I want to be the best player in the game!” Wen Dongjun clenched his fist.

“Stop dreaming! I can raise your level by making some adjustments to the program, but it will disrupt the balance of the game, and who will want to play such games?” Feng Yu rolled his eyes. If this is the private servers in his previous life, Wen Dongjun will be the type of player who pays to buy leveling and items!

“Then give me an in-game currency. I will not tell anyone.”

“No. If other players found out that you have more gold than them, how are you going to answer? I know you too well. You will be bragging to other players that you know the Game Masters of the game!”

“Skill books. You can give me the skill books, right? During the beta, the Summon Beast skill book had not dropped! Other priests have dogs, and I can only bring a small skeleton!”

“The drop rates and experience during the beta had been increased, and the highest level is only 35. When the official server is open, the drop rate and experience will be adjusted. Players might not even get to level 30 within a month, let alone level 35. Also, after the drop rate is adjusted, all high-level skill books will be rare, and priests with the skeleton are considered very powerful. Let me tell you a secret. When skeletons reach level 7, they will be as powerful as dogs!”

“Are you still, my brother?! All I am asking is a small favor, and you don’t want to help! Fine. I know you won’t have time to play. Give me your account, and I will help you play.” Wen Dongjun said.

“My account is not special, and who says I don’t have time to play? Alright. I will tell you some insider information like the best leveling area for your level, the possible items that will drop from individual monsters, strategies for leveling up fast, how to do the quests, etc. Yes. I will teach you one more strategy. You can use RMB to buy items from other players.”

“Spend money to buy those items? But those are in-game items.”

“Do you want to be the best player in the game? Do you want all the best skills when you level up? Do you want better equipment? Do you want to set up a guild? I will tell you another secret. The Guild leader will get additional benefits in the future.”

“Yes! I want!” Wen Dongjun replied.

“That’s right. You don’t lack money and don’t need to surrender your salary, right? With your bonus and rewards, it is more than enough for you to spend on this game. Furthermore, you don’t need to work. The rental from your apartments and stores is enough to let you retire now.”

“Hahaha… you are right. But you must keep this a secret from Zhang Han. If you don’t keep this secret for me, I will tell Li Na that you have a woman outside!”

Feng Yu was stunned. Damn! How did Wen Dongjun find out about his women?!
