As the first test concluded and the last player exited the game, the official forum was instantly flooded with posts, and the live streams of several Streamers, led by Ye Feng, were immediately overwhelmed...
"Damn it! I told you! Any game with 'dinosaur' and 'Jurassic' in the title is bound to have a meteor, but you wouldn't believe me! Now you're dead!"
"If you people don't know how to play, then don't! You always lead us astray. The early Ape-men were only so smart, and not only did you not teach them magic, you made them farm?"
"Yeah, it's the Ice Age now, and only a few of them know magic. There's no sun, so what's the point of farming?"
"We should have taught them magic first, then focused on productivity, you idiots! You dragged me down with you to die under that meteor!"
...Over 200 players who died in the meteor impact flooded into Ye Feng's live stream, spewing profanities and obscenities across the screen.
Though there were only a little over 200 people, they cursed with the intensity of two million, and their momentum continued to build, now even targeting Ye Feng's grandfather.
"What the hell? What does that have to do with me? This is a world of swords and magic, who knew there'd be a meteor causing a mass extinction event?!"
Ye Feng slammed his helmet on the table, feeling a surge of anger, and spat angrily to his side.
He twisted his neck, propped himself up with his hands on the keyboard, and thrust his face close to the camera: "Weren't you all immersed in finding magic relics, having a blast? How much did you actually care about the Ape-men?!"
"Uh... sss..."
He yawned, then grimaced as he began to stretch his neck. 140 years had passed in the game world, and 28 hours had passed in reality... A long-lost drowsiness washed over him, and Ye Feng's face was filled with weariness, but seeing the barrage of comments, a surge of anger immediately burned within him.
"Now you have the nerve to come here and curse at me with a straight face?! What? You were wiped out by a meteor, why don't you look for your own problems?!"
The more he cursed, the more energized he became. He suddenly raised his voice, angrily pounding the camera: "Damn it! A bunch of pig-headed idiots messing things up, why don't you look for your own problems?! Huh? Pig teammates playing their own games, why don't you look for your own problems?
Ape-men can't learn magic, you don't look for your own problems! Why the hell is everything about looking for your own problems?!"
Seeing that some people were already writing reviews on the forum, Ye Feng took a few deep breaths and then slumped back onto his recliner: "Damn it, I'm speechless, too lazy to waste words with you, I'm going to write a review on the forum first!"
"You bunch of useless people, I'll laugh my head off if you don't get a spot in the second test!" After muting each person who cursed, Ye Fengquickly opened the game's official website forum... GG Explodes: How many people for the second test? Please, give me a spot! Don't make it so I can only watch and not play! (I'll never mess around again! .jpg)
Father of Ultra: The time flow is different, you can go in and enjoy life! Please, whoever gets a spot for the second test, I'll buy one for 100,000!
Superman Getting Stronger: Where do I apply for a second test spot? Or is it that as long as I leave a message on the forum, everyone has a chance? (Anticipating .jpg)
Rorschach: Ye Feng, damn you! You just wait! In the second test, I'll be the first to kill you! You dog! (Sweating emoji)
Confused Old Man: @Rorschach, (Break it open for me! .jpg)
Mosquitoes Are Meat Too: @Rorschach, don't you like to mess around? Choose one of these two whips! Hahaha! Feeling good? (I'll never mess around again! .jpg)
...Ye Feng saw that many people had already left messages on the forum, so he quickly began to regulate his breathing and calm his mind.
After a lengthy and eloquent expression of his feelings, he wrote a 1000-word game review and then clicked to apply for a spot in the second test.
"That's all for the stream today... It's been almost 30 hours, I'm exhausted! I won't be checking my DMs these next few days, I can tell who they are just by thinking about it!"
Yawning deeply, Ye Feng squinted and ended the live stream, scratching the back of his head as he walked towards the bedroom.
Erestia —
Ice Age —
20 years have passed since the meteor impact, and all species suffered devastating blows in that catastrophe... The already nascent magic once again experienced a discontinuity, and various other organisms began to gradually evolve to adapt to the almost insurmountable winter...
[Settling event points for Host...]
[Event 1: "Agricultural Age"]
[Event 2: "Magic Sages"]
[Event 3: "There are Gods in this world! Sacrifice Ceremony!"]
[Total of three major events, 78,000 event points, now issued!]
[If you need to modify world rules, corresponding event points will be consumed! For example, setting power tiers, racial characteristics, magic attributes...]
"Then there's a lot to change, after all... even code games have bugs, let alone a world where rules can be changed?"
Dongfang Qing rubbed her hands in surprise, carefully examining the hard-earned event points.
Summoning the apocalypse at will, Dongfang Qing prepared to open the channels to two worlds again: "Speaking of which, it's time to prepare for the second test. Let 10,000 people come in first to try the new rules. If it doesn't work, I'll have to change them again."
As her words fell, Dongfang Qing also posted the game's update content on the forum.
First, the game's name was changed directly from "Don't Starve: Jurassic Era" to "Erestia."
I. Seven Great Sapient Races, Magical Beasts and Exotic Beasts
After hundreds of millions of years, intelligent beings survived the mass extinction — Humans, Beastfolk, Monsterfolk, Elf Race, Dwarf Race, Demon Race, Merfolk.
This world is dangerous! Tens of thousands of magical beasts and exotic beasts have evolved in the ecosystem! They can simply use magic for attack and self-defense!
II. Continental Drift Theory
Continental drift is complete, the original Erestia continent has split, and the gap between the two major continents provides a home for the Merfolk — Atlantis.
Is it time to embark on a grand seafaring adventure? Discover new continents? Who will be Columbus?! Wash my shipyard with treasure?
III. Ten Major Magic Attributes, Professions, and Level Divisions
The game contains 3000 professions, which players can discover on their own. Each profession corresponds to a special cultivation system.
Attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Dark, Wind, Thunder, Void.
Beginner Mage
Intermediate Mage
High-Tier Magician
Mage
Mage
Archmage
Magic King
IV. Player Identity
Player identity can be freely chosen from the seven known races. The corresponding identity will trigger corresponding hidden quests. Players are encouraged to try boldly!
V. Optimized Memory Experience Content
Memories experienced by players within the game will fade 10 minutes after exiting the game to prevent them from affecting the player's real life.
VI. Magic Codex
The rigid inherited magic has been removed. Each player has their own circuit codex for exploring and refining their own magic.
VII. Time Adjustment
The time ratio between the game and reality has been adjusted to 100 years in the game for one hour in the real world.
The update content is as above. The second test is about to begin. Players who have obtained test qualifications, please prepare...
The official forum once again erupted. Those who got spots were cheering, while many more were cursing and complaining about not getting spots...
Dongfang Qing once again accelerated the time flow of this world, and hundreds of millions of years quickly passed.
When the time flow returned to normal, everything in Erestia had changed dramatically.
The original Erestia continent had completed its continental drift, and some races had moved away with the drifting continents. The world thus entered a new pattern...
"Genesis Chronicle:"
"Caesar Year 1, Caesar I ascended to the throne, and humanity welcomed its first kingdom in tens of millions of years. After a thousand years of civil war, humanity finally unified."
"A thousand years of civil war consumed a large amount of national power, making it difficult for humanity to deal with the Demon Race entrenched in the north moving south..."
"Caesar Year 230, Caesar III personally led an expedition, fully confronting the Demon Race's southward advance, and with the full strength of the nation, blocked the Demon Race at the Scarlet Bay Mountains..."
"Caesar Year 490, Caesar IV was severely wounded, the Demon Race broke through the Scarlet Bay Mountains, advanced into the Yaka Plains, and pressed directly towards humanity's heartland — the Rock Bay Basin."
Her fingertips moved nimbly through the apocalypse, and hundreds of millions of years of species evolution and continental separation were edited by Dongfang Qing into a 5-minute promotional video.
She unhesitatingly posted the promotional video on the official website, and at the same time randomly distributed 10,000 test qualifications, setting the time for 24:00 the day after tomorrow.
Everyone in this world possesses their own magic corridor, and the corridors of each race differ, with the attributes they can accommodate also affected by innate factors.
Among all professions, except for Mage, other professions cannot perfectly accommodate 10 attributes.
Therefore, a large majority still chose Mage, but choosing Mage meant consuming a lot of magic for defense, and coupled with the fact that everyone's corridors are different...
This led to defensive magic being unable to be mutually referenced, and each Mage had to research their own defensive magic.
The greatest advantage of a Mage is that their attack power at the same stage far exceeds other professions, and their attack range will rapidly increase with level.
Compared to Mages, natives or players who certified other professions can strengthen their bodies through magic, greatly enhancing the power of their physical techniques
