"Which game do you think is more fun, Wuthering Waves or Genshin Impact?"
Looking at the question on the questionnaire, Lu Xun froze for a moment.
The person who could ask such a question surely carried a level of sin no less than that of Hitler.
He didn't know what had possessed him to actually fill out such a bizarre questionnaire.
A few minutes ago, a mysterious link had suddenly popped up on Lu Xun's computer. His hand slipped and he accidentally clicked it, only to find a survey about games.
"In order to better listen to players' opinions and feedback, and to create world-renowned national games, our company is honored to invite you to participate in this survey."
"Upon completion and submission, we will send you a token of our appreciation (Reward: 20 yuan cashback) as a thank you."
Originally, Lu Xun hadn't wanted to bother with such an anonymous questionnaire—what if it contained a virus?
But there was no helping it.
It offered 20 yuan cashback.
20 yuan cashback!!!
So, without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xun clicked open the survey.
However, what made him lose his composure was that the questions in this survey were truly... hard to stomach.
"Which game do you think is more fun, Wuthering Waves or Genshin Impact?"
"Has the popularity of Mini World already crushed Minecraft?"
"Do you believe League of Legends plagiarized Honor of Kings?"
...
Dammit, was there even one serious question in here?!
Which eccentric genius designed this survey? Was he trying to start World War III right here?!
Fortunately, ten minutes ago, his internet had cut out, and his livestream had automatically disconnected.
Otherwise, if the viewers in his livestream saw this questionnaire, he'd likely have a hard time for the rest of his life.
The final question:
"Are you willing to become a tester for our company's new game, identify severe bugs, and provide constructive suggestions for improvement?"
Lu Xun was slightly taken aback after reading it.
A new game? A tester?
Shouldn't they find professionals for this kind of thing?
Why would it fall onto the head of a small-time streamer with only a few hundred followers?
No, there was something fishy!
Lu Xun sensed something was wrong at a glance. When things are too good to be true, there's usually a catch!
"Wait, there's more text below?"
Lu Xun scrolled down and saw a line of text at the bottom of the page, specifically highlighted in red.
"During the playtesting process, our company will deposit a 1,000 yuan bonus into your account every month."
"Hmm..." Lu Xun pondered for a moment.
Then, without any hesitation, he chose 'Yes'.
There was no helping it; money talks.
Even if the other party was a scammer, he'd accept it, because he was truly strapped for cash right now.
He was so poor he could barely afford to eat.
After he finished filling out all the options, the webpage suddenly redirected to another interface, with a very prominent download link at the top.
He clicked download.
Three seconds later, a row of game directories appeared on his hard drive.
"Wait, brother, you're lightning fast! How did it download so quickly!"
Lu Xun was almost dumbfounded. He truly couldn't understand how this game managed to finish downloading in three seconds.
Whatever, this wasn't bad news, and it wasn't something he needed to worry about.
Lu Xun launched the game. The first step upon opening was to bind his account.
Lu Xun didn't hesitate and immediately chose to bind it.
Don't ask why; a man with nothing to lose has nothing to fear.
The moment the binding was complete, a cold electronic female voice immediately came from his phone.
"Alipay deposit, 20 yuan."
"Alipay deposit, 1,000 yuan."
"Holy crap, that was fast!" Lu Xun was shocked by the speed of the payment. Seeing the balance in his phone suddenly jump from a cold zero to 1,020, Lu Xun realized this wasn't a dream.
"Which game company is this generous!"
While Lu Xun was pleasantly surprised, he didn't forget to look at the name of the sender.
"666 Network Technology Co., Ltd.? Is there such a company in our country?" Lu Xun scratched his head. Driven by curiosity, he immediately opened his browser to search, only to find absolutely no information about this company domestically.
He couldn't figure it out.
But since the other party was so decisive with the payment and he happened to need the money, why not?
The main interface of this game was extremely crude.
On a pitch-black background, there were only two options: 【Start Game】 and 【Exit Game】.
It was so basic it was appalling. Even if it were made by a few university students working for the love of the craft, they wouldn't have made a login interface like this!
Lu Xun seriously doubted the technical standards of this company's game development.
But whatever, since he had taken the money, he certainly couldn't speak ill of his benefactor. He'd just remember to include this point when he wrote his suggestions later.
He clicked 【Start Game】.
The screen went black.
Then it lit up!
"Argh, my eyes!" Lu Xun let out a miserable cry.
The piercing white light nearly blinded him, suddenly reminding him of the painful experience of being flashed at Long A in Dust 2 without turning away.
Entering the game, there was no opening cinematic, no tutorial guidance, and not even any map modeling.
There was only a gacha system so simple it couldn't get any simpler.
Dammit!
This game was actually a gacha anime-style game!
And it forced a gacha pull right at the start, essentially carving the words "I'm here to take your money" directly onto its forehead.
You're not allowed to play our game without pulling!
Yes, that's right, it was just that overbearing!
Hmm?
Wait, what did he see?
A free ten-pull for beginners?
A guaranteed purple-named character!
Sigh, he knew it; it must have all been a misunderstanding. What kind of game would teach players to spend money right from the start?
Right, Legends of the Three Kingdoms?
To ensure good luck during the pull, Lu Xun hurried into the bathroom and specifically scrubbed his hands repeatedly with body wash before slowly sitting back in his chair.
"Come on, let me see what kind of good stuff I can pull!"
Click on the ten-pull!
There were no flashy animations, only a very simple and plain list of cards.
【Basic Experience Potion】, 【Basic Mana Potion】, 【Basic Experience Potion】, 【Basic Health Potion】, 【Training Wooden Sword】, 【Training Greatsword】, 【Basic Experience Potion】, 【Basic Health Potion】, 【Basic Experience Potion】, 【Peerless Fencer】.
Well, something dropped.
As expected of the guarantee; he wasn't surprised at all.
Out of the entire ten-pull, nine were white-quality items, and there was only one purple-named character card.
On the card was a young girl wearing a green academy uniform. Her snow-white hair fell to her waist, and she had the pure face of a girl next door. Her hands were behind her back, her head slightly lowered, shyly avoiding eye contact.
Lu Xun's eyes lit up.
This game looked so shabby, yet the character art was actually this beautiful!
As expected, even game developers knew that no matter how much they skimped on the game, they couldn't skimp on the character art.
Lu Xun was delighted and hurriedly looked at the character description.
【Peerless Fencer: Grinya Loran (lv1)】
【Human · Female · 18 years old】
【Weapon Type: One-handed Sword】
【Natural Talent: 65】
【Illuminated Life Stars: None】
【Inherent Talent · Peerless: When the character enters a 1v1 battle, all attributes increase by 10% (changes with character breakthrough)】
【Background: A descendant of a fallen noble family from the Norton Kingdom, hailing from Loranka Town. Her goal is to pass the entrance exam for the Yiertaya Royal Academy and restore her family's glory.】
Lu Xun was slowly admiring the girl's stunning face when a system message suddenly popped up.
【Choose this character to enter the game?】
Looking at this question, Lu Xun just wanted to ask one thing.
Did he even have a choice?
...
Yiertaya Royal Academy, training hall.
The young girl, dressed in a simple cloth shirt, stood before a weapon rack. She took a deep breath and silently took down a wooden sword.
"Good luck, Grinya, you can do this!"
The girl secretly cheered herself on.
"Next, Grinya Loran and Buze Kritov!"
The examiner standing in the middle of the training hall glanced at the list in his hand and shouted loudly.
Rate on N.U.
