I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 142 Divine Revelation Game Server Launch!

October 7th.

Hua Country, Sky City.

Liu Tai got up early in the morning, finished washing up, and started to check the supplies he had prepared in advance, including mineral water, instant food, and so on.

I haven’t felt this excited for a game in so long!

Liu Tai sighed to himself. To ensure he wouldn’t oversleep today, he had even set ten alarms, just so he could enter the “Divine Revelation” game on time.

In this period, as the game’s promotion rolled out, the popularity of the “Divine Revelation” game had been climbing by leaps and bounds, or should I say, exploded.

This was the first time a game with such high simulation and realism has appeared. Almost all gamers wanted to experience this epoch-making game, so the first batch of game helmets released were quickly snapped up.

Now, on the player forums, there are countless posts seeking to purchase the “Divine Revelation” game helmet, with the most exaggerated asking price having reached thirty thousand, though there are very few willing to sell.

Liu Tai was quite relieved that he managed to purchase a game helmet so early and didn’t have to wait anxiously for the subsequent release of helmets, thinking back, he was indeed very prescient.

As nine o’clock approached, Liu Tai got ready, put on his helmet, and lay on the bed.

Under the guidance of the game helmet, his consciousness entered the waiting dimension, and watching the countdown floating in mid-air, Liu Tai started scrolling through the game forum.

Players could directly enter the player forum in the game, and seeing the rapidly refreshing posts, numerous players were anxiously waiting for the game’s start, some planning to live stream the game’s opening, and there were even those still desperately seeking to purchase a game helmet at a high price.

As the countdown in mid-air reached zero, Liu Tai’s expression sharpened.

It’s coming!

[ “Divine Revelation” game officially launched! ]

[ Retrieving player data….Player data retrieved! ]

[ “Divine Revelation” game version 1.0 launched, please get ready! ]

…

Because Liu Tai had previously set up his player information, including his name, gender, Profession Talent, and other details, even going through the character creation phase numerous times, he could enter the game immediately.

A dazzling light flashed on, and when Liu Tai opened his eyes, he found himself on a street with a medieval European charm.

Surrounding him were crowds of people in simple clothing, all looking around with faces full of curiosity, seemingly filled with anticipation for this brand-new game world.

“So we’ve entered the game?”

“Holy shit, it feels just like real life, this sky! This water! This air! It’s so damn realistic!”

“Brothers, it’s indeed just like the trial playthrough, I’m gonna grind my heart out!”

“Anybody want to team up for quests? Let’s form a group!”

At this moment, Liu Tai was also curiously looking around. This was much better than the small trial area; he could even see the magnificent and grand Royal Palace in the distance.

However, it seemed like the game intentionally had them spawn in an uninhabited alley, unnoticed by any natives. Compared to the large number of natives in Bright City, there were relatively few players.

But just because they weren’t noticed upon arrival, didn’t mean their foolish actions would be ignored.

The players couldn’t suppress their true natures any longer!

Someone was pressing against the wall, trying to see if they could have the Skill to climb walls, jumping up and down continually.

Somebody called out to friends and started a full-blown brawl on the spot, wanting to test the game’s combat sensations. Not satisfied with just that, two bruised and battered players picked up a brick, trying to experience the thrill of Death.

Someone searched their body for a while and in the end, could only strip off their outer garment, pounding on their chest and stomping their feet in frustration, shouting, “Damn game company, with all this technology, why won’t you let me take off my pants!”

There we go! Another person who didn’t read the player notice; it’s already been stated that nudity isn’t allowed.

Liu Tai watched the person kneeling on the ground speechlessly when he suddenly noticed a pretty female player walked up to the man.

“It’s okay, you can create a new account.”

“Hmm?”

“Although you can’t take off your pants, you can touch, just like me. Build a female character and you’re good to go.”

“Big brother!”

“Second brother!”

Seeing two like-minded people clasp hands tightly together, Liu Tai hastily returned his gaze.

Although he used to play a female character in games, he found playing his own gender in this fully immersive simulation game to be more comfortable.

“Isn’t there a quest for beginners?”

At that moment, someone opened the system panel with a puzzled look.

“It should not have started yet. The server announcement said the main quest would start three days after the server launch, so are these three days our time to explore?”

“So where do we go?”

“The announcement suggested going to the Mercenary Guild to accept quests and change professions. Should we give it a try?”

“Good idea, but… where is the Mercenary Guild?”

On hearing this, Liu Tai realized that it was indeed the case and quickly opened the map.

Sure enough, the map only showed that he was in Bright City, but the surroundings were pitch-black, indicating that players need to explore and mark the areas themselves.

After thinking it over, Liu Tai felt that there was no point in forming a team with these bumbling players, so he left the alley alone and walked outward, with many people, like Liu Tai, beginning to explore this world.

…

Bearing the puzzled looks of the natives, Liu Tai, who had asked for directions along the way, finally arrived at the Mercenary Guild on Gedo Street.

Although stared at like an idiot, Liu Tai was quite happy.

No other reason, this world was just too awesome!

The bustling crowd, the dazzling array of goods, the comings and goings of the transport carriages, even the smell from the old horse pulling the cart was so real, Liu Tai felt as if he was truly in another world.

This made him look forward to what was to come even more! What would it feel like to formally advance to a Professional and master Extraordinary Abilities?

Liu Tai had chosen the warrior profession. It wasn’t that he particularly liked warriors, but rather he thought that other professions might have a high level of difficulty in operation, and for a gaming newbie like him, a no-brainer berserking warrior seemed more suitable.

Thinking this, Liu Tai entered Gedo Street and suddenly heard a loud shout.

“White Dove Chamber of Commerce, now hiring on a large scale!”

“Healthy individuals with potential preferred!”

“Room and board included, generous remuneration!”

“In-house courses for profession advancement, first come first served!”

…

Hearing this, Liu Tai felt tempted. The Mercenary Guild would definitely be packed with players by now, so why not try out this recruitment by White Dove Chamber of Commerce? After all, he wasn’t short on time.

After a while, a frustrated Liu Tai squeezed out from the crowd gathered in front of the White Dove store.

What the heck!

Why not me!

Liu Tai felt he had dressed quite normally, answering the recruiter’s questions as if he were a native, only to be informed that he lacked potential and was rejected!

Is finding a job in the game world this difficult too?

Just as Liu Tai was contemplating whether to try his luck at the Mercenary Guild after all, someone gently patted his shoulder.
