Soul echo

Chapter 25 Press Conference

Qi Jingshu silently sat up from the game cabin, exhaling a foul breath.

Leaving the game cabin, walked into the bathroom and took a shower, then came to the living room with a bath towel on, and said 'power on', and the computer screen lit up.

"...We feel sorry for Master Zhong Ye's unfortunate death. As one of the most important beta players of "Echo of Soul", Mr. Zhong has put forward quite a lot of valuable suggestions for the fighting moves and skills of this game. In fact, Mr. Zhong can already be regarded as one of the designers of "Echo of Soul"."

What the computer is playing is the game conference of Illusion Company. They are the producer and publisher of "Echo of Soul". Currently, their company only has this game.

This company is said to be led by Isis Pharmaceutical Group and Jiangcheng Unreal Technology Co., Ltd. Isis is an international large group specializing in biotechnology and medical devices, and Jiangcheng Unreal is in virtual reality, human-computer interaction, and neural interfaces. Quite accomplished.

"Echo of Soul" is said to have reached 90.00% ninety percent authenticity, and because it is too real, many beta players are fascinated by it.

A friend of Qi Jingshu's was a staff member of the game conference. She learned an amazing news from the production staff of Mirage Company. That news could be revealed in advance, so she told Qi Jingshu about the news.

The press conference has come to an end, Qi Jingshu is sitting on the sofa, quietly watching the CEO of Mirage Company talking on stage.

"...In order to commemorate Mr. Zhong, we paid enough overtime pay, let the technical department stay up all night in shifts for more than a month, and added Mr. Zhong to the world of "Echo of Soul"."

Qi Jingshu froze, staring blankly at the illusory screen.

"Our company doesn't want to use Mr. Zhong as the selling point of the game, so based on the information we got from Mr. Zhong's relatives and friends, we created an unrestrained, wandering in pursuit of higher martial arts, but also for the kindness and love in our hearts. Characters of evil confrontation.

"The trajectory and behavior of Mr. Zhong will use the most advanced chaotic algorithm. All players may encounter Mr. Zhong in the game. His actions will never be controlled by the system. He will become a unique character in the game. The presence.

"—In "Echo of Soul", Mr. Zhong will be reborn!"

The press conference ended here, and Qi Jingshu heard overwhelming applause from the audience.

To this, she didn't make any reaction, just sat on the sofa blankly, staring blankly at the blacked-out screen.

After a long silence, she finally said, "Taozi, help me open the official website of Phantom Company."

【OK! 】

A girly voice full of vigor came out from the speaker, and as soon as the screen turned, the purchase link of "Echo of Soul" came into view.

Qi Jingshu is not interested in this game, she just wants to see Zhong Ye again.

——Complete the unfinished confession!

…………

Zhong Ye embarked on the journey again, but compared to before, this time he was in a pretty good mood, and he was free to complete some tasks such as suppressing bandits and clearing monsters in small towns along the way to earn a little money.

Although there are some soul debris in the account, there is still a long way to go before leveling up.

It has been three days since the server opened, but Zhong Ye has not seen any other players except for the player he saw last time in the village outside Victor's Mage Tower.

—Maybe they are still spinning around the birth point at this time!
Thinking of the embarrassing situation when he just joined the internal test, Zhong Ye couldn't help being happy.

There is another city ahead, which is also marked on the map of the demon hunter. I wonder if I can see other players there?

Thinking in this way, Zhong Ye flicked the rein to make the horse speed up a little.

The horse kicked its four hooves, overtook a merchant's carriage, and trotted towards the city not far away.

Before approaching the city gate, Zhong Ye tightened the reins again, and the horse slowed down accordingly.

Turning over from his horse, he led the horse into the city gate. Under the watchful eyes of several city guards, Zhong Ye smiled slightly, and pulled out a scimitar from his inflated pouch with his backhand, and hung it on his waist. went back.

Walking into the city, Zhong Ye found a kind-hearted peddler to inquire about the location of the hotel, and bought some carrots from his stall. The peddler's face was instantly filled with a smile, and he pointed out the direction.

Leading the horse to turn left and right in the city, and asking a few more people, Zhong Ye finally found the hotel hidden in a corner.

Sewage was flowing across the street, and the houses on both sides were dilapidated but not to the extent that they might collapse.

This is a slum, and it is also a place where adventurers like Zhong Ye usually live.

Fortunately, Zhong Ye was used to this environment.

He opened the door and walked into the hotel, asked a hotel clerk to help him lead the draft horse to the backyard, and then found the hotel owner to rent a room.

"Twelve coppers in three days." The innkeeper patted the wooden board beside him. Zhong Ye looked over it, and after looking at it for a while, he realized that the price and exchange rate were written on it.

The kingdom of Yitrul has many problems of feudal countries, and the failure to unify the currency is one of them.

There are private mints in every territory, and the country does not have enough enforcement power, so that this thing has been banned repeatedly.

Not only merchants would privately mint coins, but even some nobles would covet this benefit, prohibiting others from privately minting coins in their own territories, and then squeeze out every sufficient amount of coins for their own 'juice'.

The innkeeper seems to be illiterate, and it may be for the convenience of communicating with adventurers and mercenaries with a higher rate of illiteracy. The prices and exchange rates on the wooden boards are represented by pictures, but the pictures are also horrible.

"Copper coins from other territories are not accepted here." Seeing that Zhong Ye was about to pay, the innkeeper added.

Gold and silver coins are the worst, but at least they have value.

Copper coins are different. Even if you get them, you may not be able to use them. They can only be piled up in your hands, and you can exchange them with merchants and nobles, but no matter what, they are equivalent to losing money.

Only the copper coins issued by the royal bank are the common copper coins of the Kingdom of Etrull, especially after the revision more than ten years ago - the new version of copper coins is sufficient and the edges are serrated, the serrations can be ground down, or they can be bought in whole The merchants exchanged it for local copper coins.

After thinking about it, the innkeeper hurriedly added: "Whether it is the copper coins of the kingdom or the copper coins of Albert's collar, there are twelve coins."

The hand holding the money bag paused, and Zhong Ye looked up.

Sensing the surprise in Zhong Ye's eyes, the innkeeper slammed the table, "Give me the money, or get out!"

Zhong Ye didn't care, shook his head with a helpless smile, and laid out twelve copper coins in a row on the table.

The ingenuity of the little people of this era is vividly reflected in the innkeeper, Zhong Ye couldn't help feeling sad when he saw his two counting copper coins—maybe this innkeeper can't even count 'five'.

After receiving the key from the owner of the hotel whose attitude had improved, Zhong Ye walked upstairs slowly. When passing by other rooms, he compared the key in his hand with other locks, and couldn't help but laugh.

The style of the door locks is rarely repeated. There should not be so many locksmiths in this small town, and I don't know where the innkeeper got so many different door locks, even ancient Chinese locks.

After walking to the fifth room, Zhong Ye unlocked the door and brought it in. The hotel's door locks are all padlocks, which cannot be used inside and outside.

Entering the room, Zhong Ye looked around and found that the environment was fairly clean and tidy, and the hotel should have received many adventurers and mercenaries, there was no such thing as forcing a few people into a room—adventurers would rarely believe it outsider.

Zhong Ye threw the rucksack on the ground and lay down on the bed.

If he remembers correctly, tonight will be a dark moon, from the east to the west, and then to the two continents equivalent to the Americas, the blood moon will last at least 24 hours.

He needs to recharge his batteries, and then go to the magic prop shop or church in the afternoon to buy some demon supplies, and wait for the night to come.
