Chapter 1130: Half a Month Later, Jianghu Beta Test

Time swiftly passed half a month.

Soon, the new year would arrive.

In this half month, it was quiet. Nothing happened, not even Tianqing, who Xu Shaochen had been wary of, caused any trouble.

Perhaps Tianqing was waiting for the right moment to act.

However, what Tianqing didn’t know was that after the new year, Xu Shaochen would announce the Genetic Serum was created by Xu Corporation.

So after the new year, if Tianqing didn’t act, this game would become even more difficult.

The headquarters of Xu Corporation on Paradise Island was completed. Jenny returned to America a week ago to prepare for the headquarters’ relocation.

Relocating the headquarters of such a large company like Xu Corporation isn’t as simple as moving a house.

Surely, the American government would cause trouble, not allowing such a giant to leave easily.

Fortunately, Xu Shaochen built “strong” friendships with the Kellen and Nick families, and since the relocation was to Paradise Island and not back to Dragon Country, the American government allowed it.

With the most advanced technology and burning money, the epoch-making game ‘Jianghu’ was finally ready for beta testing.

This news was released early on.

The beta test invited some game streamers to test it and released a small number of invites to the public.

Online, the topic of ‘Jianghu’ stirred up a storm.

After all, the game had been controversial from its inception.

Supporters believed in Xu Shaochen’s resources and Xu Corporation’s reputable background.

Skeptics thought current technology couldn’t achieve what Xu Shaochen claimed, suspecting false advertising.

“So unlucky, didn’t get a Jianghu beta test spot. I stayed up all night, didn’t even blink, and it was gone before I clicked.”

“Yeah, these people must have godly hand speed, single for thousands of years to train this speed.”

“Trash game, I never had any hope for it. See, ad visuals are just references; reality is what matters.”

“Right, aren’t some streamers in the beta? Watch their streams to see. I can already imagine how lousy this so-called perfect VR game is.”

Yun Sheng, a game streamer at Shark Live, had worked in the streaming industry for years, gaining a large fan base.

Every evening at 8, he streamed punctually.

Tonight, Yun Sheng started the stream as usual: “Welcome, new friends. Thanks to Brother Hero for the rocket. Okay, everyone knows I’m streaming a highly anticipated new game tonight. I’ve been looking forward to it.”

The chat instantly filled with the words “selling out.”

Everyone knew Xu Shaochen acquired Shark Live, so Xu Shaochen was Yun Sheng’s boss.

“Wow, humble streamer selling out live.”

“Yun, aren’t you afraid lightning will strike for these lies?”

“Current tech can’t achieve Xu Corporation’s advertised effects.”

“Cough, cough, what do you mean lying? Everyone knows I’m known for speaking my mind.” Yun Sheng coughed and changed the topic: “Alright, less talking, let’s start today’s main event.”

He wasn’t too hopeful about ‘Jianghu.’

As someone in the chat mentioned, current technology couldn’t achieve Tianyu Game Company’s advertised effects.

But he needed the paycheck, so he wouldn’t voice his doubts.

“Alright, see this box? This is Tianyu Game’s first-gen VR headset. I’ll open it for everyone.”

Yun Sheng pointed to a box, took scissors, and cut the tape.

“Yun, have you turned from game streamer to unboxer?”

“Sexy Yun unboxing live.”

“How much does this cost?”

While unboxing, Yun Sheng noticed the chat, casually saying: “A friend just asked how much the first-gen headset costs. I’ll say it; it’s not less than four digits.”

The chat exploded.

“Boss, 9999 is four digits, and so is 1000.”

“Right, can’t you give a specific number?”

“Strongly demand the price be announced. I need to see if my wallet allows me to game.”

Yun Sheng ignored these comments since the headset’s price wasn’t publicly announced. Though he knew some details, he couldn’t openly say.

Quickly, the box opened, Yun Sheng took out a black headset.

“Look, this is the headset. There are three colors: black, white, and red.”

“Whatever the game, the headset looks cool. I want to wear it while driving my Chariot 4 to flirt.”

“Tianyu is probably selling headsets, right?”

“The headset has a built-in camera for live streaming. Let’s put it on and start the game client.”

Saying this, Yun Sheng put on the headset, grabbed the virtual control handles, and entered the game.

Suddenly, he felt like he had entered another world, finding himself in a magnificent hall.

Several options appeared: game name setup, character creation, and class choice.

“Wow.”

Yun Sheng couldn’t help swearing. If he hadn’t worn the headset himself, he’d doubt whether he stood in this hall.

The chat exploded.

“Whoa, did Tianyu get alien technology? They truly achieved VR gaming.”

“This hall alone makes 9999 for the game feel worth it. So real.”

“Yun, stop wasting time customizing. Start the game, show us real gameplay.”

“Those waiting for Tianyu’s game to fail are probably shocked. The owner is the world’s richest man; he’s not spouting nonsense.”

Yun Sheng recovered from his shock, quickly creating a character and entering the game.

In the game, Yun Sheng repeatedly exclaimed. Besides “wow,” he couldn’t find words to express his feelings.

With a beta test broadcast, ‘Jianghu’ was back in the spotlight.

This time, it wasn’t the game itself, but the technology by Tianyu was simply stunning.
