The third day after the holiday, the game's beta test began.
Qiu Xi and Shen Yan, along with Song Daiyao, decided to stay in their dorm instead of going to Nan Hua's base.
"Daiyao, is your download finished?"
She and Shen Yan were now just waiting for the server to go live.
"It's done! I'm here!"
Packing their things had taken a little time, but luckily they made it.
Zhao Huasheng had helped them download the game beforehand, so all they had to do was wait.
"Hurry and come sit, it's about to start!" Shen Yan was still very excited.
After rushing Ni Xue, she was now rushing Song Daiyao, her mouth having been non-stop since they started preparing.
"Coming, coming~"
Not long after Song Daiyao sat down, the 9 AM server start time arrived.
"It's starting!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shen Yan placed her hands on the keyboard and entered the account Qiu Xi had given her.
"Let me see, how is our story, and the scenes and characters Qiu Xi drew."
"They'll definitely be very good!" Song Daiyao said as a matter of course.
In her eyes, her sisters' work could never go wrong.
Even though she hadn't seen what was written or drawn before.
"Alright, we're in!"
The account logged in quickly.
"This... why is the novice village chief so unusual?"
A handsome young male village chief?
Song Daiyao's gaze shifted to Qiu Xi as she spoke.
"Qiu Xi, is this also your work?" Song Daiyao asked uncertainly.
Qiu Xi nodded, smiling quite happily, "Yes, do you like it?"
This was specifically conceived by her after seeing Shen Yan and the others' work, and it was indeed unusual!
"It's beautiful... just a bit improper..."
Look at this opening...
"Oh~"
"Little girl from afar, you are truly exquisite..."
Is this the village chief?
Why does he seem like a small rogue?
Just... a slightly handsome small rogue.
"Ahem... Qiu Xi, what would he say if he encountered a male player?"
"It depends on the character. He's a looker."
Song Daiyao turned her head. "..."
So he's attracted to both genders? He just likes good-looking people?
"Yan Yan, you guys are amazing too!"
"I never thought you'd have this kind of idea~"
"I didn't..." Shen Yan said a little wronged.
Everyone has a love for beauty, right? She wasn't being excessive.
She just genuinely preferred beautiful people~
Besides, this was the village chief's preference, not Shen Yan's hobby~
So, what did the village chief's matters have to do with her?
"..."
If you weren't smiling, it might have been a little believable...
But smiling like a silly drunkard after two jin of alcohol, who would believe what you said?
She certainly didn't...
"Alright, alright, enough talk, let's play the game!" Shen Yan quickly stopped the topic, seeing Song Daiyao's suspicious gaze.
If they continued, even she wouldn't believe it.
"It's just that the drawing is good..." Otherwise, she would have died laughing!
Muttering, Song Daiyao continued with the novice quests.
Her brother used to play games when he was in school, so she wasn't unfamiliar with playing.
Games, after all...
They were all online games like this, and her adaptability was quite strong.
"Is this starting a side quest?"
The novice village main quest wasn't even complete, and after leveling up, Song Daiyao found something unusual.
She was still in the novice village weeding when the village chief approached her...
"No, we're still continuing..."
"No?" Song Daiyao was confused, "Then what is this?"
Qiu Xi and Shen Yan turned their heads to look.
After staring for a while, they shook their heads, "Don't understand..."
"Go ask Zhao Huasheng, he should know..."
They only understood the general storyline. As for specific game design, rewards, titles, hidden dungeons, achievements, and the like, they knew nothing about it.
"Hmm... I'll go ask."
Saying that, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Zhao Huasheng.
Then her gaze returned to the computer as she continued playing.
"Beep~ Beep~"
"What the heck!"
"This person says I'm boring! Have nothing to do!" Song Daiyao concluded after reading the message.
"What?" Qiu Xi and the other two were curious.
After all, Song Daiyao's progression was different from theirs.
Song Daiyao directly handed her phone over, "Look."
After a while-
"Daiyao, he's not wrong..."
Indeed!
The trigger condition was that the game didn't accept the task at the beginning, and she ran to the fields.
Who would do nothing at the start and spend so long digging and planting in the village fields!
"You are indeed a bit boring, but it's quite good. Your laziness indirectly triggered the ranching quest!"
"..."
She just expressed her thoughts about the village chief character...
"Mm, Qiu Xi is right, it's quite good!"
"If we're short on vegetables later, we'll come find you... Hahahaha~"
As they were talking, Shen Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"..."
Maybe she wouldn't play later!
"Enough talk, I'm going to go plant vegetables!"
What's wrong with planting vegetables?
Self-sufficiency, abundance!
She just liked planting vegetables!
She couldn't grow anything at home, but she couldn't do it in the game?
Saying this, she ignored the other two and buried her head in planting vegetables.
As for Qiu Xi and Shen Yan, Qiu Xi was there to admire the scenery and characters, and to catch bugs for them.
Shen Yan, on the other hand, was purely there to see the story and the graphics, after all, it wasn't easy for their "child" to be born!
They played until lunchtime.
"I say, playing games is really addictive!"
No wonder everyone loved playing so much!
"Mm, it's indeed quite addictive." Qiu Xi deeply understood this.
Shen Yan sighed, "But we've also gained a lot."
"That's true." Qiu Xi nodded.
After a morning of playing, they had already proposed quite a few optimization suggestions.
"Alright, enough talk, let's go eat first."
They would discuss it with Nan Hua and the others in the afternoon.
"Mm, eat!"
"Good thing we ate breakfast, otherwise our stomachs would have been rumbling long ago."
Saying that, the three of them put away the computers on the table and went out to eat.
...
They didn't have much time afterward, so in the afternoon, Qiu Xi informed Xu Xuanming and Nan Hua about the situation and began to prepare for their trip abroad.
This time, going to Country Y, she could visit Tang Siran.
Thinking of this, Qiu Xi also sent messages to Ni Xue and Hua Linglong, informing them of the matter.
Ni Xue didn't have time, but Hua Linglong's school courses had already ended, and she finally told Qiu Xi that she wanted to go with her.
Qiu Xi naturally had no objections. Having a companion was a good thing!
It's just that the arrangements were a bit troublesome, she still had to discuss it with Teacher Yang Yue.
It wasn't that she wanted to trouble the teacher to help, but she wanted to join them during her free time.
"Linglong, you prepare first. I'll discuss it with the teacher, and I'll let you know when I have news."
"Okay~ Then you go ahead."
"Mm, bye~"
