Tang Mingyue was lying on the massage bed, enjoying the massage service from Miss Dongmei.

Except for the sexy clothes Miss Fuyumi wears and the ambiguous massage environment, the massage itself is completely formal.

But for Tang Mingyue, he felt the pressure of two hands on his back, one on the left and one on the right. One was the soft palm of a human woman, and the other was a cold and hard metal palm.

One is cold, one is hot, one is soft, one is hard. This perfect contrast brought about by the combination of flesh and machinery brings him great satisfaction, even making him happier than the massage itself.

One word to describe——

So cool!

It's not in vain that he spent so much effort to find this young lady with a metal left arm.

Every time he thought about this, he wanted to complain——

Ever since the Yunmeng development team left Chang'an, Lin You never heard back from him, as if he had forgotten what he promised him.

But Tang Mingyue didn't know anything about virtual reality game development. He didn't know how much time it would take to develop a young lady and put it into the game, and it was hard to rush.

I waited like this for a long, long, long time before I finally received feedback.

Lin You sent him a message: "The beauty you want is ready."

Tang Mingyue asked excitedly: "Where?"

Lin You: "What do you think?"

Tang Mingyue: "?"

Tang Mingyue: "???"

Tang Mingyue: "???"

Tang Mingyue: "Give me some clues!"

Tang Mingyue: "Where are the people?"

Tang Mingyue: "Boss Lin? Boss Lin? Are you still there?"

…

Tang Mingyue: "Are you kidding me?!"

…

…

Just like that, Lin You only left a "guess" and disappeared without a trace.

Tang Mingyue had to go through special stores throughout Night City to search for a girl who used metal prostheses.

Considering Lin You's bad taste, just in case, he even went into stores that catered specifically to female customers and gay customers.

I spent all my spare time searching for it for a whole week before finally finding it in a hot stone therapy shop.

Various service options such as [General Massage], [Therapeutic Massage], [Hot Stone Massage], [Essential Oil Massage] and [Multiple Massage] are available here.

Tang Mingyue immediately comforted himself with a "five-consecutive massage package".

Since then, he has become a loyal customer here, and his heart beats only for Miss Fuyumi!

In just half a month, he spent money on two (modified) cars on this robot-arm lady, so that the results in the last two death racing competitions were very unsatisfactory.

——The "John Wick" development team is developing "John Wick 2" slowly while constantly enriching Night City.

Modified cars and racing cars have always been the focus of maintenance, and various modified components are always updated.

Many components require players to reach a certain level of [racing reputation] before they are eligible to purchase them.

[Racing Reputation] is not only available to the top three, all participating players will have a guaranteed reputation reward, and will also receive another reputation based on the range in which the player ranks.

Tang Mingyue has not updated his car for two weeks.

But he had no regrets, and when he summoned the dragon, he made a wish without hesitation that Miss Fuyumi would go home with him.

Probably because he was too flattering, and normal people other than him would rather be massaged by an ordinary clerk with fleshy hands than being massaged by an iron lump, so Fuyumi was not very popular.

In contrast, the intimacy between him and Miss Fuyumi grew rapidly, and in the end he really succeeded in hugging the beauty back.

The first time he applied synthetic motor oil to Fuyumi's metal arm for maintenance in his own house, Tang Mingyue was so excited that he trembled slightly from the tips of his hair to his toes.

That feeling can only be described in one sentence——

This life...is worth it!

But he's not at home now.

During the day, Fuyumi had to go to work, so he went to the massage parlor to take care of business.

While he was lying comfortably, Fuyumi suddenly patted his shoulder gently and said, "There is something shining in your pocket."

"?" Tang Mingyue, who was unconscious after being pressed, raised his head, looked at the coat hanging on the shelf, and found that the pocket was indeed glowing slightly.

"Can you help me take it out?"

"Okay." Dongmei walked over in small steps, took out the glowing invitation and handed it to Tang Mingyue.

Tang Mingyue took it in his hand, and he was still a little dazed. After a moment, he realized what had happened. He quickly opened the panel and searched for keywords, and immediately saw the latest updates released by Lin You.

"Closed beta?"

"Are you kidding me?"

He quickly got up from the massage bed, said goodbye to Miss Fuyumi in a panic, and returned to his house to activate the invitation.

Two mahogany doors appeared in front of him. The doors were carved with traditional cloud patterns using hollow craftsmanship. The door frames were also carved with exquisite dragon patterns and entangled branches, which looked delicate and elegant.

But Tang Mingyue couldn't care less about admiring the details of the door. Without stopping for a second, he quickly opened the door and walked into the light.

*

After the light dissipated, Tang Mingyue stood on a lively, busy and crowded street.

——Shirtless and wearing massage oil.

This unique look instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

Whether it was the indigenous NPC or other players who also entered the game for the first time, they all looked at him with wide eyes.

"???" Tang Mingyue was also stunned.

Not because I realized I was shirtless, but—

"Where's the novice guide?"

"Who am I? Where should I go? What do I need to do?"

No one can answer these three questions for him.

Because this is the price of voting for [Option 1]. I would rather the game is not complete enough and play it in advance.

The cooperation between Lin You and Xiao Meng is like a wishing machine, which can speed up game development like a rocket. During the recent period, the staff of the "Chang'an" development team have deeply realized this.

But even so, it is impossible to prepare for testing with more than 1 million players within 2 hours.

Because many systems, even the combat system, are still being improved and debugged.

So, how did Lin You manage to be ready for players to come in and experience it in just 2 hours?

The answer is also very simple - don't give it to the system.

Whether it's the combat system, the skill system, the mission system, the planting system, the in-depth interactive system...

None of it is given to players!

Give nothing!

Without the assistance of these things, players instantly transformed from the "destined children" of the game world to ordinary "passers-by".

Enter Chang'an City completely as an ordinary person.

In this way, the player's ability to cause damage is greatly limited.

After all, there is no extraordinary body or force, and there is no way to improve the force. Even if you want to do bad things, you don't have the ability.

Don’t forget, there are several armies maintaining public order in Chang’an!

Even if there is a player with super martial arts skills, it will be difficult to fight against them, let alone a completely ordinary player.

In Lin You's plan, when players come in at this stage, they can basically only travel, see the excitement, and feel the atmosphere of Tang Dynasty's market life in advance.

After that, as time goes by, game functions will be opened to players in stages, which is basically foolproof.

Players have played the game in advance, and the development team has enough room to improve the game.

Win-win.

But he didn't expect that after he started the [closed beta] in just two hours and gave the players a surprise, the players also gave him a surprise in just one and a half hours:

Chang'an City, the prison is full!

Xingbu Prison, Jinwu Prison, Jingzhaofu Prison, County Prison, Tufang...

All prisons, every one of them, are overcrowded!
Chapter completed!
