Chapter 670: Chapter 388 Willful King_2

Such as using dreamscape games to help disabled individuals experience normal life, and to treat people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder...

Since it’s for communal use and testing, these forty thousand pieces are almost temporarily sufficient.

Because it can’t cure the root cause, not all patients are keen on this special dreamscape game.

Then the remaining forty thousand pieces.

According to the King’s instruction, half were given to top-ranked gamers worldwide.

Regardless if it’s FPS or MOBA, whether it’s single-player or online games, whether it’s mobile or PC games...

As long as one has a unique understanding of the definition of games.

They have a chance, after research and confirmation, to receive an invitation for the dreamscape game’s closed beta.

As for the remaining half.

It was given to all citizens.

With Chen Yun’s presence, it guaranteed that this half was truly randomly selected.

Whether one could be drawn was entirely a matter of luck.

There couldn’t possibly be any black box operations.

After all, no one dared to fool the King.

This rule of random selection was set by the King, and anyone attempting foul play was courting death.

This wasn’t just talk.

The "saint king who proves his way by killing" really purged a lot of officials who dared to be two-faced in this era.

They also cleansed related personnel behind the scenes without any sympathy or so-called concerns.

Having committed the crime of deceiving the King.

The outcome was predetermined.

So no one dared to seek out the lucky ones selected and attempt to buy slots from them.

For many mid-to-upper-level officers who survived the purge, rather than risk challenging the King’s bottom line and bloodthirstiness, it was better to wait patiently for the open beta.

This is just a closed beta; not getting drawn is normal.

There’s still a chance to wait for the open beta.

At this moment, the whole world.

After warming up for a few days, everyone was drawn to the related advertisements.

Since it wasn’t for sale but distributed, it didn’t cause a crowd to surround exclusive shops.

However, because the dreamscape game’s terminal could record footage, countless people gathered on the official testing day to await news from those who had a beta qualification.

··························

On the morning of June 15.

The sky was a clear blue, vast and pure.

The sunlight, like golden threads, evenly scattered over every corner of half the Earth, draping the land in a warm glow.

Both bustling cities and quiet villages, vast oceans and endless mountains were all bathed in this bright sunlight.

This vitality made everything appear vibrant, and people’s moods lifted with the beautiful weather.

Renowned game streamer Lu Zhigao, after receiving a phone call, excitedly went to collect a special delivery that required a personal signature.

Two days ago, he had received a notification.

Saying that he had been drawn for the dreamscape game’s closed beta slot.

At first, he thought it was a scam.

He believed that the dreamscape game introduced over the phone didn’t exist in this world.

Basically unemployed due to various effects of the era, Lu Zhigao was initially a hundred percent skeptical about this call.

If it weren’t for the Human Federation’s massive unemployment subsidies, he’d probably have gone mad by now.

Faced with such a scam call, he would have begun shouting directly.

But the related dreamscape game news broadcast on TV that same day immediately changed his mind.

No one dared to talk nonsense about scams on the media in this era.

Especially during the Dome Council’s special endorsement of royal decrees, no one would risk losing their head by making a fuss.

After all, messing around at this time would not just cost a hat.

So.

He immediately became cordial and began to look forward to it.

That’s how it was until today.

The package arrived.

When he brought it home, he was trembling uncontrollably.

These days.

The promotion of the dreamscape game had not stopped.

Complete realism, different time flow...

Descriptions like these only appear in novels.

Yet they truly appeared in reality.

He held immense expectations for such a transcendent game.

At the same time.

He vaguely realized that he might have a chance to resume his old profession.

With these complicated thoughts.

Lu Zhigao began unwrapping the package.

At the same time, he also opened the live stream he hadn’t started in a while, now titled "Dreamscape Game Closed Beta Experience"!

Although he didn’t choose a flashy name.

The name itself was a strong pull.

Complete realism and differing time rates, coupled with the King and Dome Council ensuring authenticity, made countless people eagerly anticipate this game.

People should know that the forty thousand pieces distributed for the public closed beta seemed like a lot, yet in reality, they were just a drop in the bucket.

Besides the twenty thousand for famous gamers.

The remaining twenty thousand were for the entire world to randomly select from.

It’s a one in four hundred thousand chance.

It’s barely better than winning a lottery jackpot, and the King’s presence guaranteed no black box operation.

But even so.

The demand greatly exceeded supply.

Watching live broadcasts became an alternative anticipation.

Lu Zhigao, among the first to start streaming from the unboxing, immediately attracted many viewers to his stream.

Everyone watched excitedly as Lu Zhigao unboxed in front of the camera.

[Hurry up!!!!]

[Even though I’ve seen other streamers, I still can’t help but watch this streamer’s unboxing.]

[No choice. Due to the time flow and some technical limitations, it seems like you can only rely on the gifted equipment for game recording now; real-time broadcasting with the real world isn’t possible.]

[Yeah, otherwise who would repeatedly watch other streamers unbox for fun.]

[Ah, why didn’t I get selected!]

[Boohoo, all shills! They are all shills!]

[Agree with the one above!]

[Unfortunately, I’ve heard that with Supervisor Wang overseeing the real-name system, you can’t even buy a beta slot now with money.]

Everyone in the chat was extremely excited, feeling fresh even after seeing many people unbox.

Clearly, this dreamscape game really had everyone hooked.

With the platform assists verifying that each streamer truly has a beta qualification and isn’t just stirring up trouble, everyone felt some novelty watching each streamer unbox.

This was not only because of each streamer’s performance.

But also because of the collective excitement with nowhere to vent.

Seeing everyone’s excitement in the chat, Lu Zhigao earnestly continued unboxing.

Opening the package.

Besides several layers of foam for shock absorption and inner protection.

There was a small palm-sized white Jade Token and a special mechanical piece of equipment resembling a hairband.

According to the manual.

This seemingly cultural and peripheral Jade Token was actually the terminal enabling entry into the dreamscape game.

It had to be held while sleeping.

The somewhat high-tech hairband-like mechanical Equipment was the instrument to record his dreamscape game content, and it needed to be worn while sleeping.

After studying for a while.

Lu Zhigao didn’t interact much with the viewers in the livestream, but was eager to start trying.

However...

The most common phase arrived.

He couldn’t fall asleep.

Or rather, couldn’t fall asleep for the moment.

With many in the comments having watched other livestreams, everyone knew what was happening.

[Sleeping in such an excited state, hahaha! So hard!]

[If it were me, I’d be this excited too; I’d probably need sleeping pills to fall asleep quickly.]

[It’s a regular part of the program.]

[Indeed, today’s sleep streams are especially numerous.]

[Considering this marvelous epoch-defying creation, being able to sleep in such an excited state would make one a god!]

[Feels like the dreamscape game terminal should come with some auxiliary sleep aids without side effects.]

Yes.

Dreamscape games, as the name suggests, require dreaming.

Dreaming requires sleeping.

So one must sleep to enter the dreamscape game using the terminal.

But in such circumstances.

Who could just sleep on command?

Luckily, after being notified, Lu Zhigao hadn’t slept well out of anticipation these days.

Compared to others.

He only didn’t fall asleep for a while.

Soon, he fell asleep.

And a voice echoed in his mind:

[Welcome to the dreamscape game!]
