Chapter 37: Log In to the Game (1/2)
Bai Liu was scanning the forum using the game manager while walking around in order to learn about the internal structure of the game. The game hall was composed of three areas: the live TV area, the game login area and the game logout area.
Players could choose to login to a game in the game login area. After logging in, the game process would be shown on the various small TVs in the live TV area. Players who successfully passed the game would appear in the game logout area and players who failed would be trapped in the game forever, be completely alienated into monsters or die directly.
Among the three areas, the most complex one was the live TV area.
The structure of this area was almost like a maze. The decoration styles of the different areas varied and they were inlaid together in violation of each other. Bai Liu was almost dazzled. There were all types of zones with promotion places and tens of millions of small TVs were playing the game process of different players.
Bai Liu’s small TV had been to the newcomer zone, death comedy zone and the single player game zone. Those were just three of the thousands of live streaming small TV zones and the types of promotional places were even more diverse. There were almost dozens of different types of promotion positions in a zone.
However, there were still high and low promotion positions.
Among all the zone promotion positions, the most difficult one to board and the one with the highest gold content was the ‘central hall king promotion position’. Only the top 10 players on the comprehensive rankings could board it and it became the place where only the great gods could reside.
Bai Liu saw on the forum that it had been a long time since a newcomer got this promotion and the first and second places were even more set. As long as Spades and Queen of Hearts entered the game, their small TVs would be first and second on the ‘king promotion position’.
For newcomers, the top promotion position was ‘nightmare rising star promotion position in the central hall’. Mu Sicheng ranked fourth in this promotion position all year round.
The ‘central hall core promotion position’ that Bai Liu got last time was indeed good but among all the promotion positions, it could only be regarded as an advanced position. It was considered a promotion position with more paying users and was still one level behind the ‘top promotion position’ that almost all players paid attention to and would spend points to see.
Mu Sicheng said it was difficult for him to enter the central hall core promotion position because he played too unstably. If Mu Sicheng played well then most of the time, he skipped this promotion position and went straight to the nightmare new star promotion position. If his performance wasn’t good then Mu Sicheng really couldn’t touch the core promotion position.
In addition to the best promotion positions and the highest zones, there were naturally the poor promotion positions and the worst zones.
Bai Liu’s footsteps stopped at the entrance of a deserted area that looked like a garbage station. The walls of this area were pure white and the small TVs weren’t well arranged. Rather, they were crookedly piled up into a hill. The small TVs on the hill showed the pitiful appearance of many players struggling to survive.
Most of the TV screens were noisy. It seemed like the quality of the small TVs weren’t good and some small TVs simply had the static screen. It wasn’t known if the players inside were dead or alive.
This ‘TV hill’ was very long and was like a train with no end in sight. It started from Bai Liu standing at the entrance all the way into empty, white space.
The voices of countless players distorted and filled this pure and messy area. It was very similar to the place of abandoned futuristic electronic equipment that Bai Liu saw on TV. The signboard at the entrance of this area seemed like it would fall at any time and it had the words ‘Nameless Land’ in big letters.
This game was really cruel. A player in the highest level was a king while a player in the lowest level didn’t even deserve a name.
This was the only area without a promotion position. Of course, it was because there was no need to distinguish anyone. If there was a small TV live broadcast in this area, the promotion effect would be the same because this place didn’t have an audience. Players who fell here had almost no possibility of overturning things. This was equivalent to the prison of the game. Only players who were completely exiled and abandoned would fall here.
Bai Liu stood in this deserted and lonely no man’s land and thought about some issues. Meanwhile, the forum was full of a heated discussion.
[The seven day countdown of player Bai Liu who entered the VIP library with his first game is coming. Bet on what game he will choose next!]
1L: He is really good at playing. I replayed his last game video of Siren Town three times and gained a new experience every time. I really want to watch him play a new game!
2L: Me too! I want to see him play a multiplayer game! The revenue and rewards for single player games are far less than multiplayer games. Multiplayer games are also more competitive and interesting. I want to see Bai Liu and the bigshots fighting each other!
