Take it easy, I'm a serious game

Chapter 5 This promotional video is definitely at the movie level
Qin Chuan sat in front of the computer in the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the imperial capital, quietly watching the video played on the screen.

A line of subtitles emerged first from the darkness.

"There is no autumn in the red land."

"After September, this planet seemed to have been kicked out of the universe, and the inclination of its rotation was instantly magnified to an extremely exaggerated level."

"Overnight, the stars changed positions, the temperature suddenly dropped from a high temperature close to 40 degrees to the edge of zero degrees, and even the river water had faint signs of freezing."

"And in this post-apocalyptic world, changes in the rotation inclination mean that a large-scale ice tide that only occurs once in more than ten years is coming."

With the narration subtitles flashing, in the picture, a huge moon rises from the horizon. It has long lost its rounded shape, and its surface is covered with gaps that look like it has been bitten.

The camera gradually zoomed in, and the incomplete moon gradually occupied the entire frame, and the large-scale fleet dragged out a light blue wake, falling towards the moon one after another.

The dust splashed like a flowering water, accompanied by the dazzling blue light emitted by the explosion of the fusion reactor.

For the first time, a heroic vitality burst out on this dead planet.

"This is the last battle of mankind. The catastrophe of the end destroys almost everything."

"The moon, the satellite on which humans depend, has lost 12% of its mass."

"What followed was a huge change in tidal forces."

"The earth's rotation speeds up, and the inclination becomes unstable. The bursting hurricane and tsunami almost destroyed everything, and the fleet originally used for interstellar pioneering was forced to undertake tasks they never imagined."

"They are like moths to the flames, carrying meteorites and dust captured from the vast sea of ​​stars and falling into the abyss of the moon to make up for the 1% that determines the fate of mankind."

"Fortunately, they accomplished their mission."

"Humans survived, but only survived."

Immediately afterwards, the screen suddenly zoomed out.

The crippled moon disappears into the shot, replaced by a land of red, white and white.

With the equator as the dividing line, the upper half of the planet is almost completely covered in ice and snow, while the lower half is fiery red.

The aerial photography cuts in, and as the translucent numbers in the middle of the screen flicker, the remains of the former human civilization disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Skyscrapers weathered and collapsed, leaving only twisted and corroded steel skeletons; the giant ship was washed ashore by the tsunami, and the hundreds of meters high hull stood up as a new tower.

Those proud cultural landmarks disappeared, and low buildings began to appear. Ant-like humans crawled out of the deep underground fortresses, and began to try to revive their civilization.

But soon, a hurricane swept across the world, and those humans who managed to survive were lost.

"We live in this dire and scorching red land. Red tides and ice tides appear alternately, almost completely obliterating the once powerful race of human beings."

"Thankfully, we have learned to come to terms with our environment and have gradually mastered the knack of survival."

"But alas, civilization is still dying inevitably."

Immediately afterwards, the camera began to zoom in and locked on to a huge radar dish.

The antenna radiated high-energy microwaves invisible to the naked eye, and turned the falling snowflakes into white mist.

Under the antenna, hundreds of ragged people are offering bloody sacrifices to the antenna.

The camera crosses the crowd and drifts along the narrow path to the snow field outside.

There, there was a figure in a rough fur coat walking alone.

"The civilization on this land is inevitably falling into the abyss, and the short-lived prosperity is just a flashback."

"Perhaps, the people here will still rise again, and they are still trying to use the knowledge that has been faulted to restore the former glory brick by brick."

"But it's a pity that Chidi won't give them more time."

"We need assistance."

"we need you."

The subtitle of the narration fades away, and the camera flies to the back of that figure, straddling his shoulders, on the endless snow field, a cluster of lonely bonfires are burning
"Fuck, this opening animation is too fucking awesome!"

Looking at the tall figure on the computer, Qin Chuan couldn't help bursting out in awe.

He is a researcher and a game player, but this is the first time he has seen such a promotional animation in so many years.

Cinematic quality - no, this isn't even a short film.

From the macro to the individual, the pattern of the whole world is undoubtedly revealed in front of him.

The broken moon, the fleet brazenly rushing to their final mission, the people struggling to survive, and the cluster of bonfires on the snowfield.
Especially the last line, "We need you".

He felt that something in his blood was stirred.

This game has a lot of stuff!
At least its publicity department has something to offer!

When he first received the package, he thought it was another pheasant manufacturer who wanted to use his traffic to bring goods to the game, but after watching the promotional video, his opinion has changed drastically.

Although he still doesn't know who the game manufacturer who invited him to experience is, he is sure that this is definitely a trumpet!

Moreover, this is definitely a closed test before the release of a certain game, as can be seen from the dozens of pages of non-disclosure clause documents included in the package.

They wanted to do something big, and it just so happened that the person in charge took a fancy to his ability.

Yes, as an Any% speedrunner, finding bugs in the game is definitely what I do best.

In an instant, another sense of mission surged up again.
-
Not just to save the world in the game, but to save the game.

If the real performance can reach half of the promotional video, then I must spare no effort to help the manufacturer improve and optimize this game.

Because, it shouldn't be buried.
-
but.

The game's equipment seems a bit too childish.

An AR goggle?

And it doesn't even have a brand, so it doesn't look very high-end.

can this work?Will the steps be too big?
You have to talk to a planner.

He joined the so-called "Chidi Exchange Group" according to the contact information attached to the package, and the administrator approved his application in seconds. However, after entering, he found that there were only two people in this group except the administrator.

"Hello, is the planner here? I want to ask where to download this game? How to log in"

On the other side, Chen Jiu sat up straight from the chair in a jerk, and immediately typed and replied:

"Hello, after logging into the account on the official website, just connect the VR device to the computer."

"We have integrated the game into the VR device, but the device still needs to borrow the computer network."

"However, the closed beta has not yet started. We need to wait for the confirmation of the other two players before we can officially enter the game."

While typing, a satisfied smile appeared on Chen Jiu's face.

The first fish is hooked, can the other two be far behind?
