Because “Machine Warfare” scans the human body to calculate a player’s physical and mental strength, this game broke the rules and destroyed some people’s bad impression of games.

After all, staying in a game cabin for too long can lead to physical problems. The settings of “Machine Warfare”, however, made players pay more attention to physical fitness, forcing them to pursue a healthy body for a better gaming experience.

Qiu Zhenyang knew that this might seem cumbersome in the eyes of many players, but he wasn’t concerned people would leave because of it.

Because, this is an addictive game that you can’t stop playing!

Originally, according to Ling Mu’s idea, he planned to practice until dinner time in the evening, but he couldn’t play for more than three hours. A game lasted for almost an hour, and he only played four games in total, and when he came out of the game cabin, he was still not satisfied.

“Don’t be discouraged, we can do more exercise together to strengthen physical strength, and the game time can be extended.” Qiu Zhenyang comforted Ling Mu and walked downstairs to the living room with him, thinking about what to do in the evening.

As a result, Ling Mu directly grabbed his arm on the stairs, stood on the steps one step higher than Qiu Zhenyang, and looked at him reluctantly.”Why don’t you look tired at all?”

Qiu Zhenyang was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t help smiling: “Because I’m an alpha, an alpha has much better physical strength than an omega.”

Ling Mu was very dissatisfied with this statement: “My physical strength is also very good.”

Crawling and rolling, if it wasn’t for his physical strength and running fast, don’t know how many times he would have been beaten to death by those alphas who were looking for trouble.

Qiu Zhenyang didn’t expect this, but after thinking through it, he nodded in agreement. “Yes, my wife’s physical strength is really good. Thinking about how you survived that week, I still think it’s incredible. What!”

Qiu Zhenyang, the king of flirting, made Ling Mu’s ears red with a single sentence. The latter used the ostrich strategy to pretend not to hear, and ran downstairs, and quickly escaped.

Having been immersed in the game just now, they didn’t realize they were hungry and missed lunch, and finally felt it now.

Qiu Zhenyang made some simple meals with the fastest speed. Ling Mu is not a picky eater. As long as Qiu Zhenyang cooks it, he has never disliked it.

After lunch, they lay down on the two sofas in the living room to relax.

The weather is getting colder, the air conditioner was turned off, so they opened the windows to led in the natural breeze.

The overly comfortable environment made both Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu drowsy. The temperature belonging to the sun was brought in sporadically by the soft wind. The hair on Qiu Zhenyang’s forehead was swayed, and the corners of Ling Mu’s shirt fluttered gently. It was quiet and beautiful.

——–

There is less than a week before the day of the closed beta. As long as they had free time, Qiu Zhenyang would almost always bring Ling Mu into the game. Ling Mu does have talent in driving mecha. After a week, he’s almost able to keep up with Qiu Zhenyang’s pace, and can even lead an offensive mecha team by himself to face the local adjutant.

Qiu Zhenyang also let Ling Mu play the role of the marshal a few times, and found that his overall situational thinking and strategy are in place, and he is a good leader.

It’s just that it’s always boring to play just the two of them, so they’ve been looking forward to the closed beta at 8:00 on Saturday morning.

After finally waiting until the night before the start of the service, the two of them set an alarm clock to avoid accidentally oversleeping.

Ring ring ring-

When the alarm clock rang, Ling Mu flicked in Qiu Zhenyang’s arms and opened his eyes instantly.

“Qiu Zhenyang, get up…” He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his sour body movements a little stiff.

The other party didn’t want to open his eyes, frowning as he hugged the waist of the person in his arms. Then he pulled them back, and hugged his soft wife and rubbed hard.

Ling Mu was thinking about the beta, and pushed Qiu Zhenyang’s face indiscriminately, trying to pull himself out of his sturdy arms. “Get up quickly, it’s half past seven. Get something to eat and go to the game, the internal test will be launched today. There should be a lot of people.”

Last night, Qiu Zhenyang pestered him to do it for a long time. If it wasn’t for Ling Mu’s insistence that he could only do it once, Qiu Zhenyang might have tossed him until the morning!

But even so, this time was extremely unbearable, and Ling Mu deeply regretted that he actually agreed to Qiu Zhenyang’s conditions.

“If you don’t get up again, next week’s chance will be nulled!” After finally getting up from the bed, Ling Mu yelled at Qiu Zhenyang before returning to his room to wash and dress, which immediately woke Qiu Zhenyang up. Yawning, he sat up, casually grabbed the shirt at the head of the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

He moved quickly, so when Ling Mu went downstairs, Qiu Zhenyang was already preparing breakfast.

“This is the sandwich I prepared last night. It’s already hot. I’ll heat the milk.”

Because he was worried that he would not be able to get up this morning, Qiu Zhenyang prepared breakfast last night.

Ling Mu also entered the kitchen, took two fruits from the refrigerator, and peeled them. Because Ling Mu had the experience of cutting his finger before, Qiu Zhenyang bought very safe kitchen utensils for Ling Mu to use when he wanted to do it. For example, a fruit-cutting knife with complete protection measures, so even a novice who knows nothing will not be hurt.

The two prepared breakfast together, then brought it to the living room and finished it together.

“Okay, it’s almost eight o’clock, let’s play.” The two of them didn’t eat slowly, so it was almost launch time when they finished.

They each went back to their rooms, entered the game cabin, and waited for the game to start.

At the same time, tens of thousands of players entered their game cabins and waited in various places in the capital star where the internal test of “Machine Warfare” was launched.

At eight o’clock, the game officially opens!

“Welcome all players to the game world of “Machine Warfare”. Please perform real-name authentication first, choose basic player information, and choose your game settings.”

Everyone filled in their information, picked their in-game name, and then set up their appearance. Changes were made, with most opting not to reveal their true looks or gender.

“Dear players, please choose a random room or select one after entering the door. There will be a preliminary instructional video when entering the room later.”

According to the command of the system, everyone chose the random option. After all It’s the first time playing, and they don’t have the awareness of making a team.

Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu entered the same room as before. There was also a live broadcast setup in the room. Qiu Zhenyang operated the live broadcast and started to broadcast to his own platform. Because this broadcast is equivalent to marketing publicity so everyone can gain a preliminary understanding, Qiu Zhenyang chose the official account of “Machine Wars”. He planned to set up a separate account for Ling Mu in the future.

Because Qiu Zhenyang made a high-profile announcement during the live stream, many people poured in to watch the launch of the internal test.

Considering that everyone was probably watching the instructional video, they waited a bit before queuing. But despite this, they had to wait nearly 10 minutes to be matched.

After finally being matched, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were stunned, and eagerly waited to enter.

After the game started, Qiu Zhenyang was about to open the voice to discuss with everyone about his role as the marshal, but before he could start, the marshal had already been chosen by another player in seconds.

He raised his eyebrows, there is no marshal so take the adjutant.

As soon as the idea came out, the adjutant was chosen.

Qiu Zhenyang: “…”

In short, when Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu were silent, the marshal, adjutant, and assault soldiers were all selected. There were two fixed scout positions left, and no guards.

“There are no guards to shield the mothership, are you going to use your body to build a city wall? Didn’t you study the instructions?” Ling Mu was angry, and immediately exploded.

As soon as he opened his mouth, someone immediately retorted: “What kind of guards do you want? You haven’t played any other games, brother. With me as a marshal, you can’t lose.”

Another commando player sneered: “This game is really disgusting, you still choose your own characters, is it interesting to fight those rookies without strength?”

“Who are you calling a rookie? I’ll let you see the strength of 8 years of experience in “Spark” later!”

Even the adjutant mixed in: “A group of idiots, talking big.”

In short, before the game started, everyone started to mock each other…

This situation appeared in the live broadcast, and barrages appeared in an instant:

[Why is this game like this? Such a strange pattern.]

[Go away, trash game.]

[I feel this is very interesting!]

[These people are really ugly, they mock others for a few pounds and a few taels!]

Qiu Zhenyang couldn’t see the situation in the live broadcast room, but he was speechless in the face of such a situation. He knew that this situation didn’t only happen to him, it should’ve appeared in most of the first games. After all, everyone is used to a system assigning characters randomly, so such changes will definitely bring discomfort and conflict.

But there is no need to change anything, and things will definitely change over time.

The game started with everyone’s ridicule. Because Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu took on the role of scouts, their attack and defense power were very low, but their speed was fast enough. The two chose two different routes, and at the same time turned on the room voice to exchange information.

Each game of “Machine Warfare” is based on a small planet, but because the speed of the mecha is extremely fast, it basically only takes three or four minutes to walk the entire map.

In the process of scouting, Qiu Zhenyang cleaned up all the alien beasts along the way, and bought equipment with his pocket full of virtual coins. Although these players have read the instructions, they obviously do not agree with it. They are limited to their previous game cognition and played in their own way.

Qiu Zhenyang was actually too lazy to talk, but remembered that he was currently broadcasting live and had to attract players. After thinking about it, he should still be a commentator.

“In the map, these alien beasts are all useful. Destroying alien beasts or the opponent’s mecha can earn virtual currency to buy attack, defense, or attribute bonus equipment. What I have now is a scout. Attack and defense are lower, but the advantage is fast speed and high perception, suitable for tracking and scouting.”

As he spoke, an enemy assault soldier appeared in his eyes.

Qiu Zhenyang first explained to the audience in the live broadcast room explaining the conventional role of a scout. After speaking, he used his speed to approach, and then used his superb fighter to take away the opponent’s head.

“If the scouts have no financial support in the early stage, it is not recommended to confront assault troops head-on.” He said coolly, and then moved on.

At this moment, the barrage has exploded:

[My god, the action just now is so handsome!]

[This game is so realistic, the operations and movements of those mechas just now are as good as the real ones!]

[As expected of the young master of a Legion family, he has the right to receive support from the military. You must know that “Spark” has only obtained the privilege of requisitioning the shape of mechas. These offensive or defensive operations and images are not within the scope of authorization!]

[My god, even the scouts can do so well, I regret not getting a spot for the beta!]

[Me too! Can’t wait to play the game!]

Just relying on one head, Qiu Zhenyang has already moved the audience’s emotions.

And when the staff, following Qiu Zhenyang’s previous instigation, released a screen of Ling Mu on the live broadcast, the entire room exploded.

[Anchor: Ling Mu…is that Qiu Zhenyang’s omega? This skill???]

[My god, so strong. He’s also a scout, and the speed of killing the opponent’s assault soldiers is not slower than Qiu Zhenyang!]

[This is the first time I’ve seen an omega that is so good at playing games… is it fake?]

[So handsome, so handsome! Woohoo, finally an omega has breathed out for us! Alphas and betas think no omegas are good at playing games! Please eliminate prejudice!]

[What are you yelling about, that person is just too naive, this omega will still have to crawl later.]

[+1 for removing prejudice! This omega is my new idol!]

Just like that, before Ling Mu didn’t know it, his handsome operation had already made him the idol of many omegas.
