Chapter 893: Chapter 373: Ning Zheng: It’s Started? Recording, Open Beta!
Capital City.
"It came too quickly, and with this mysterious Night Emperor, the Sacrificial Era is going to be completely advanced."
Xin Xichen felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart and whispered, "He’s so bold, directly forcing that one out! The entire Chronicles of Time in his hands... historical heroes are all going to appear."
They seemed to have sensed the presence of the painter.
Yet they only knew the tip of the iceberg.
They guessed he painted historical heroes but couldn’t imagine how terrifying he was, having long since begun painting Immortals, with a group of Immortals under him.
"Many strategies are not yet fully complete, but the Immortal Weapons on all sides have been forged, it’s almost time."
"The world is ready on both sides for the final battle...this isn’t a fiction novel, in reality, combat is unpredictable, a decisive battle can happen at any time, let’s hope we win."
Jiu Shui looked towards the sky, expressionless.
...
...
Ning Zheng looked at the sky, and a faint smile slowly appeared:
"The Night Emperor is so arrogant, here he comes, just in time for your entrance, I’ll take pictures and paint you from the side."
No one knew the painter’s true foundation; he could paint Immortals, and even had a group of Immortals already.
Ning Zheng didn’t know either, just taking the Night Emperor to probe this mysterious figure.
Ning Zheng put on a white robe in a proper manner, picked up a paintbrush, crafted a painting frame, and dipped it in ink,
"In the past, I acted twice, and you painted me twice in the shadows, and it was entertaining to watch."
"Today it’s your turn to battle, I’ll paint you while recording the soon-to-launch cinematic animation."
He held a watching posture, a smile appearing on his face.
He contacted the manor’s AI assistant, Ai, "In the name of the official, start a live recording to stream this battle on the forum."
"After the live stream, we’ll start the public test and let people in."
Ai still seemed a bit dazed, "Huh?"
Ning Zheng was speechless.
Come to think of it, this Ai hasn’t been checked for a long time, always so dazed isn’t good.
It should get an upgrade version.
Speaking of which, my server hasn’t fused various divine artifacts, Immortal Artifacts for a while, now that I’m in a good mood today, let’s update the server.
[Ai’s AI Update: Fusing the Immortal Artifacts of Sword Casting Manor—the Nine Chapters, Eye of Identification, and mutating evolution, 3 billion.]
Ning Zheng frowned, even my Celestial Spirit Root’s limit is only 3 billion.
But the big server update, along with the Eye of Identification, Zhuangling’s Nine Chapters, doesn’t seem too much?
He thought for a moment and decisively added some points.
[-3 billion.]
With a rumble, the server Ai fused with the manor’s Nine Chapters.
Everyone on Sword Casting Mountain felt a huge tremor.
The direction of the tremor came from their core hub, the manor’s Immortal Artifact Nine Chapters, the supercomputer Immortal Artifact aiding the blacksmith workshop and Spirit Farmer planting.
When they arrived in front of the core of the Nine Chapters Immortal Artifact, they discovered it seemed like nothing had happened?
"Strange?"
"Strange?"
They were puzzled.
But as the leading biologist Immortal Aunt, responsible for managing this Nine Chapters server, tentatively manipulated the Nine Chapters, she froze.
[Server Backend]
An interface popped up on the glass screen of the Nine Chapters.
"Is this the game’s backend code?" Immortal Aunt was shocked, "How did our Sword Casting Manor’s game server backend end up here in our blacksmith’s Zhuangling Nine Chapters?"
Immediately, she opened a page full of management options.
[Blacksmith Login Race Function]: Can create and manage the blacksmith’s login page, design the login interface, sculpt the face, choose gender, race, birthplace...
"Wow!!"
Immortal Aunt and several blacksmiths beside her were shocked.
They knew the planner was not talkative, but now silently updated some features?
We can design the game’s login page.
Background music, background animation, and design the button style of the login page.
As for race, various eggs from the Yin Yang Creation Furnace can be placed into the server for players to log in.
"Good."
In an instant, Immortal Aunt had many ideas, "This is a method to make money, we can put a bunch of synthesized eggs into this server space, sell them to newly logged-in blacksmiths, and use these eggs to enter the game."
"Depending on the egg’s race, we can charge different race fees, charging right on the login page to allow them to loan a race."
Instantly, Immortal Aunt thought of many gameplay ideas, making it easier for blacksmiths to log in, and easier for them to sell pet race eggs.
The pet shop they previously built for players to buy races can be scrapped now.
This is more convenient.
"However, this makes us game studio workers directly? Designing games online?"
Immortal Aunt’s face was strange, "It doesn’t pay us, asking us to be his game studio staff, managing the game backend, designing various game features..."
The planner only needs to lie down, while we players not only need to act as Newbie Village NPCs but also manage the game backend as GMs and update game features...we have a lot to think about.
[Sword Casting Manor Forum Management]: Can manage the game forum.
Immortal Aunt was very satisfied with this feature.
Although in the future, the manor committee will definitely manage the forum together.
The next feature.
[Player Login Count Management]
Seeing this feature, Immortal Aunt’s eyes burst with brilliance, "Public test!! They’ve given us full authority over the public testing permission?"
"We can open any number of player slots, so we open as many slots as we want?"
Currently, the closed beta is fixed at a thousand blacksmiths, previously 100, 200 slots were rewarded to them.
Now? It’s free, they can set the login count as they wish.
They can always post announcements to start the public test and recruit new players.
This is great!
This game indeed has high freedom.
We play NPCs, but we can also be game managers, having control over the game backend and running Sword Casting Manor.
Indeed, all game functions are created by our own hands.
But she quickly noticed a line of text, that increasing the number of game players requires Qi Fortune Value.
"Every 100 new public test players cost us 1 billion Qi Fortune Value?"
"This price..."
"Hmm, too cheap!"
Immortal Aunt’s eyes lit up.
Now they earn more than 1 billion a day from the Celestial Destiny World’s rebate, meaning they can instantly open 100 players every day.
Sword Casting Manor server console is so delightful.
[Game Announcement Publishing]: Can publish game announcements.
[Game Video Streaming]: Can stream game scenes.
She saw each feature, knowing the planner had given them some authority.
Immortal Aunt got excited, called Jiucai Rong and others to discuss over this console.
"Hahaha! Public test, now is exactly the time for public testing!"
"Yes, a battle is breaking out outside, after the battle ends, someone will become Immortal, the Sacrificial Era will open, and a biological explosion will occur!"
"Now is the node for a public test, we must start streaming this battle now and then immediately start the public test when it’s over."
They discussed back and forth.
Finally, Jiucai Rong, proficient in publishing announcements, directly used the backend to post a game announcement: [Trailer, Public Test Begins!]
The live stream content was the battle outside between the Night Emperor and the emperors of Nine-State history.
Ning Zheng watched the blacksmiths’ understanding, showing a smile, "100 slots for a billion, is a way to recover Qi Fortune, after all, leaving so much in their hands is useless."
His thoughts went back, dressed in white, holding a paintbrush, starting to watch:
"Today, I am the painter, it’s my turn to stream your battle, and incidentally start a public test."
