Mission: Destroy the Jackalmen Tribe

Before going to sleep, Lin Feng checked the number of reservations.

Twenty-seven people!

Clearly, they had all signed up after hearing about the game from the veteran players.

But the current player cap was thirty, and he could only choose twelve from these twenty-seven.

The rest would have to wait.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng randomly selected twelve of the twenty-seven reserved players, filling all thirty player slots.

Then, he updated the official website with a Developer Log.

Hello, everyone. I'm game designer "A Feng." Thank you for supporting the game.

The game is still in its closed beta stage, and there are currently only thirty slots, all of which have been distributed. Players who reserved the game but have not received a closed beta slot, please wait patiently.

The game would undergo some updates today.

A new NPC, "Ying Yi," had been added. He would handle beginner guidance for the Gathering System and issue quests. Players who enjoyed gathering, hurry up and bother him!

A Contribution Points system had been added. Completing quests would earn a certain number of Contribution Points. They would be very useful in future versions!

After posting the Developer Log on the official website, Lin Feng went to sleep.

In his dream, he wore a suit of futuristic armor and stood atop a towering cliff.

Below the cliff, a group of green-skinned humanoids marched forward in a crooked, disorderly line.

Every now and then, someone looked up at his figure on the cliff, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Blue Star.

"Brother Qing, the closed beta slots for this game are already full!"

"Can you contact the game company's designer and have them release a few more slots for us? @Da Qing."

"There are only thirty closed beta slots. That's way too few!"

In the gaming group, people kept tagging Da Qing and asking about closed beta slots.

After several of his closest friends received slots and entered the game, Da Qing recommended it in the gaming group where they usually played together.

There were over a hundred people in the group, all people he had met through various games.

When he promoted a virtual game with one hundred percent realism in the group, most people did not believe him.

Even if they did not believe it, they still trusted Da Qing's taste in games. If Da Qing strongly recommended it, then even if the one hundred percent realism was merely a marketing gimmick, it should still be fun.

Quite a few people in the group clicked into the official website and began reserving slots.

"The slots are full? Let me take a look."

Da Qing logged into the official website and happened to see the Developer Log Lin Feng had just posted.

His guess had indeed been right. The slots released during closed beta were extremely precious.

There were only thirty!

Fortunately, he had asked Ranger and the others to reserve slots a day in advance, and they had successfully obtained closed beta access. If they had tried to reserve today, they probably would not have gotten in.

As for the people in the group asking him to contact the game designer and get them a few slots?

How would he know any game designer?

This game's official website did not even have customer service!

"Everyone, just wait a little longer. They should release some more slots later."

He replied in the group.

Then, he left a comment beneath the Developer Log.

Da Qing: "Dear Designer, when will you release more slots? A lot of my friends are waiting to play!"

A little after five in the morning, Lin Feng woke up on schedule.

He first checked the game's official website. The number of reservations had already reached thirty-nine.

It seemed his players were working hard to promote the game for him.

Unfortunately, all thirty slots had already been used up.

At the same time, he saw Da Qing's comment beneath the Developer Log.

After some thought, he edited a reply.

A Feng: "Closed beta slots are distributed based on the scale of the Starry Tribe. At the current scale of the Starry Tribe, thirty players are sufficient.

Once the tribe develops and grows stronger, and more players are needed, we will release additional closed beta slots. Please keep an eye on the official website for updates."

After replying to Da Qing, Lin Feng exited the website and entered the system.

A new quest had appeared on the system's quest panel.

If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Quest Name: Destroy the Jackalmen Tribe.

Quest Content: Destroy the Jackalmen Tribe active in the eastern part of the island.

Quest Reward: 1,000 EXP, unlock instance "Jackalmen Tribe."

Looking at the quest rewards, Lin Feng's eyes burned with desire.

One thousand EXP was enough to raise his level straight to level six, perhaps even level seven.

The EXP reward was secondary. The most important reward was unlocking the instance "Jackalmen Tribe."

Lin Feng looked over the introduction for instances. Once an instance was activated, players could form parties and enter it for training.

After clearing an instance, they could receive EXP and equipment rewards.

"What good stuff!"

Lin Feng could not help feeling excited.

The appearance of instances could effectively accelerate the players' growth.

The stronger the players became, the stronger the tribe would become.

However, the Jackalmen Tribe was not weak. Relying only on him and thirty level-zero and level-one players to wipe out the Jackalmen Tribe was unrealistic.

They would need to develop for a few more days, until the players' levels rose.

At six in the morning, players began logging in one after another.

The twelve new players were inevitably stunned by the game's realism, letting out cries of amazement.

At the same time, they were glad they had reserved early enough to seize the final twelve closed beta slots.

Otherwise, for such an insanely awesome game, who knew how long they would have had to wait before getting to play it!

The veteran players watched the loudly exclaiming newcomers with smiles, feeling a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.

Look at you all, acting like you've never seen the world!

Look how calm we veteran players are!

Lin Feng issued quests to the players. Some went out to hunt, some stayed in the valley to chop trees, and some followed Ying Yi to pick wild fruit.

Only Da Qing's group of five stood off to one side without doing anything.

Lin Feng looked at them curiously.

Why were these people not accepting quests? What were they dawdling around for?

Da Qing's group of five huddled together and whispered among themselves.

Da Qing: "Ranger, do you think what you said will work?"

Ranger: "I don't know either. Let's try it! Based on the level of AI the chief has shown, the chances of success are high!"

Shooting A Bit Like Kobe: "It'll be awful if it doesn't work. All the good quests will be taken by others, and we'll only be able to chop trees."

Super Invincible Pili Pala Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Chopping trees isn't bad either. The EXP is pretty good."

As they spoke, the players around Lin Feng had accepted their quests and all dispersed.

Da Qing's group of five exchanged glances, then approached Lin Feng together.

"Greetings, respected Chief!"

Da Qing took the initiative to greet Lin Feng.

"Hello, Skyfallers."

Lin Feng did not know what they wanted, so he watched them with a smile.

"Chief, those Jackalmen from yesterday are our enemies, right? I remember you saying that the tribe relocated to this valley only after being attacked by the Jackalmen."

Da Qing asked.

"Of course. Those hateful Jackalmen are our mortal enemies and the greatest threat to the tribe!"

Lin Feng said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, Da Qing and the other four's eyes all lit up.

This could work!

"Chief, traces of the Jackalmen have appeared near the valley. I believe they will sooner or later discover the valley and find our tribe."

"And we know nothing about the Jackalmen."

"For the tribe's safety, the five of us request permission to investigate the Jackalmen Tribe!"

Da Qing volunteered.

Lin Feng's eyes also lit up when he heard that.

These players understood me too well!

After receiving the quest to destroy the Jackalmen Tribe, he had already planned to find a few reliable players to investigate the Jackalmen Tribe. At the very least, he needed to know how many of them there were.

Only by knowing both himself and the enemy could he determine what level the players needed to reach before the tribe had the ability to eliminate the Jackalmen.

Now that the players had proposed investigating the Jackalmen Tribe themselves, it could not have been better.
