While the players were enjoying their fulfilling gaming experience, Ed finally finished explaining to Seraphina what over-issuance of currency and bank runs meant.

The Red Dragon girl lowered her head as if deep in thought. Ed felt as if he had opened a door to a new world for her, but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, even if the two sides are not friends, they have at least signed a "non-aggression pact." If Seraphina doesn't try to circumvent the rules, she will be safe for at least the next hundred years.

I just wonder which unlucky person might actually learn some dangerous techniques from my teaching...

After seeing off this big shot, Ed finally had time to go online.

As one of the effects of the ability [ Otherworldly Half ], Ed can still browse and edit internet content from another world in his mind, as long as he is willing. This is how his game's official website came about.

After checking the backend, Ed was pleasantly surprised to find that the total number of page views on the official website of " World of Disorder " had exceeded 300,000, the number of registered users had exceeded 30,000, and there were more than 8,000 questionnaires for the internal beta test qualification lottery backlog in the backend.

Ed was finding the workload too much to handle, so he had to temporarily delegate some authority to Little Green, letting this not-so-intelligent sapling help him process these things.

After spending some time together, Ed realized that there were differences in his and Little Green's ways of thinking.

The seedling's thought process is somewhat similar to the ever-extending and diverging roots of a tree, capable of handling multiple uncomplicated matters simultaneously.

Many troublesome tasks can be delegated to it; as for yourself, as long as you maintain control over the overall development direction, there shouldn't be any problems.

Having received the order, Little Green began working. Ed had set some criteria for screening players beforehand, such as not accepting those who filled out questionnaires randomly, not accepting those who liked to kill everyone they saw in the game, not accepting those who were super traitors who were always thinking of turning against their former allies, and most importantly, not accepting those who were under the age of eighteen.

After several rounds of filtering, more than 3,000 of the more than 8,000 questionnaires were still qualified.

"Are all of these okay?"

Ed asked in his mind, and Little Green answered very easily:

"At least they filled it out very seriously."

"Let's begin the extraction."

"Okay, how many should we draw?"

Ed thought for a moment and said:

"Let's round it up first, draw four, and if there are no problems, we'll continue drawing."

Although Ed's current capacity is 32 people, he also cares about the players' gaming experience. If all the slots are filled directly, there might be a large group of people running around with nothing to do.

To avoid negative reviews, Ed has always chosen to proceed cautiously. Now that there are ordinary NPCs in three villages and two special NPCs, he can finally relax a little.

After an animation, scraped from some unknown website, finished playing, the IDs of four lucky winners appeared in front of Ed:

[ Dawn Ah ], [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ], [ The Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ], [ The Dark Archmage ].

Looking at the somewhat abstract IDs, Ed was already looking forward to seeing what kind of antics these people would come up with.

" Little Green, send out the notification and schedule their test for tomorrow."

At Ed's command, the information in his mind crossed the invisible barrier between the two worlds and was transformed into a notification on the network, which was sent to the terminals of the four players.

A chat group in a world that has not yet fallen into chaos.

[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ]: "[Image] Hey, good, I won!"

A college student enjoying a parasitic summer vacation sent a picture of the pop-up window that appeared to grant him the qualification to enter a chat group, and the group immediately fell silent.

This is quite unusual. Recently, this game, " World of Disorder," has been generating a lot of discussion in his gaming group, all thanks to that puzzle video. When asked, people say they've all seen it, and if you ask again, they say you're not qualified.

As a result, the group argued for a long time about some settings on the official website, and in the end, it turned out that everyone was just a casual player.

The young man felt very strange—as the first person in the group to qualify, he had only shown it off briefly; why were people so angry?

He tentatively typed a "?" in the dialog box and sent it, then saw a bright red "!" appear in the center of the screen:

[You have been banned by the administrator]

At this moment, a new message popped up in the group:

"I've already banned him, everyone go ahead and hurl insults."

As soon as he said that, the chat group became as lively as boiling water. Some people were envious, some were jealous, and some asked him where he lived so they could send him some local specialties.

Unfortunately, their questions will remain unanswered, as the only lucky person has been muted, and the ban won't be lifted until 8 PM tomorrow.

In other words, he wouldn't be able to send another message in the group before participating in the closed beta...

"That face is just too much to bear..."

The young man checked his status in the group chat several times, then casually tossed his phone aside, lay down on his bed, and began to stare blankly.

Is this game... really as fun as people say online?

"Ding~"

A new message notification appeared. The young man picked up his phone and saw that it was a push notification from a video website. Just as he was about to swipe away, he suddenly noticed the name of the video creator—" Great Wei Boxing Champion Cui Moumou!"

That puzzle-solving master has updated again!

Inside a dessert shop, three high school graduates with nothing to do are gathered together drinking sweet drinks.

One of them suddenly asked:

"Hey, have you guys heard of the game ' World of Disorder '?"

The friends standing nearby all shook their heads, and another girl asked in return:

"Don't you not play games? Why are you asking about this?"

"Sigh, I don't play, but my brother has been talking about it to me over and over again these past two days. He even wants to fill out another questionnaire using my identity to increase his chances of winning!"

"Huh? Is it that outrageous?"

"I find it strange too. I watched that puzzle video, and it was... good, but just good. It didn't even show any game content, so how could it be so captivating? Besides, that video had millions of views. I wonder how many test slots were drawn, and what kind of luck it takes to win one..."

"Cough cough."

The girl, who had been silent until now, suddenly joined their conversation, turning her phone screen with a smile:

Is it possible... I'm the lucky one?
