Chapter 142: “God’s Apocalypse” Game Launch!

October 7th.

City N

Nathan woke up early, finished his morning routine, and began checking the various supplies he had prepared in advance, such as bottled water, instant food, and so on.

It’s been a long time since he felt so excited about a game!

Nathan sighed inwardly. Today, to ensure he wouldn’t oversleep, he even set ten alarms just to enter the “God’s Apocalypse” game on time.

During this period, as the game’s promotion spread, the popularity of “God’s Apocalypse” soared, or rather, exploded.

This was the first time such a high degree of simulation and realism appeared in a game. Almost all gamers wanted to experience this groundbreaking game. As a result, the first batch of game helmets released quickly sold out.

Now, posts on player forums about buying “God’s Apocalypse” game helmets were endless. The most exaggerated asking price had been pushed to thirty thousand, but there were few willing buyers.

Nathan was fortunate to have bought a game helmet so early, sparing himself the agony of waiting for subsequent releases. He must have had quite some foresight at the time.

As it approached nine o’clock, Nathan got ready, put on his helmet, and lay down on his bed.

Under the guidance of the game helmet, his consciousness entered the waiting area, watching the countdown hovering in the air. Nathan then began browsing the game forum.

Players could directly access the player forum in the game. Seeing the posts refreshing rapidly, countless players were anxiously awaiting the start of the game. Some players posted about wanting to livestream their gameplay progress, and there were even some who persistently sought to buy game helmets at high prices.

Watching the countdown in the air reach zero, Nathan’s expression changed.

Here it comes!

[“God’s Apocalypse” game officially launched!]

[Player data retrieval in progress. Data retrieval complete!]

[“God’s Apocalypse” game version 1.0 initiated. Please prepare yourself!]

Because Nathan had already set up his player information in advance, including name, gender, and occupational talents, he even repeated the facial customization process countless times just to be able to enter the game first.

A dazzling light shone, and when Nathan opened his eyes, he found himself on a medieval European-style street.

Surrounded by people in simple clothing, all looking around with curiosity, seemingly full of anticipation for this brand new game world.

“So, this is entering the game?”

“Damn, it feels just like the real thing! This sky! This water! This air! So damn real!”

“Bro, it feels exactly like the trial version, I’m seriously hooked!”

“Anyone up for doing quests together? Let’s form a team!”

At this moment, Nathan also looked around with curiosity. This area was much larger than the trial version. He could even see the magnificent palace fortress in the distance.

However, it seemed the game specifically placed them in deserted alleys, and the indigenous people hadn’t noticed their arrival. Compared to the large number of indigenous residents in Canlight City, the group of players born in the game was quite small.

But not being noticed upon arrival didn’t mean their absurd behavior would be ignored.

Players couldn’t suppress their nature anymore!

Some stuck to walls, trying to see if they could climb them, jumping around there.

Some called out to friends, and soon, a full-on brawl broke out, wanting to test the combat feel of the game. Not satisfied with just that, two bruised and swollen players found a brick and wanted to experience the thrill of death.

Some fiddled with themselves for a long time, finally just taking off their outer layer of clothing, pounding their chests and stomping their feet in frustration, shouting, “Damn game company, if you have this technology, why won’t you let me take off my pants!”

‘Okay! Another person who didn’t read the player announcements. It clearly said you can’t take them off.’

Nathan looked speechlessly at the person kneeling on the ground, speechless. Suddenly, he noticed a pretty player girl walking up to this person.

“It’s okay, you can just make another character.”

“Huh?”

“Although you can’t take off your pants, you can touch, just like me. Just create a female character like me.”

“Brother!”

Seeing two kindred spirits clasping hands tightly, Nathan quickly redirected his gaze.

Although he’d played with female avatars in the past, in this immersive, fully-simulated game, he felt more comfortable sticking to his own gender.

“Aren’t there any newbie quests?”

At this moment, someone opened the system panel, asking with some confusion.

“There probably aren’t any yet. The launch announcement said that mainline quests will start three days after launch, so these three days are for us to explore, right?”

“Then where should we go?”

“The announcement suggests going to the Mercenary Guild to pick up quests and change professions. Should we give it a try?”

“Good idea, but where is the Mercenary Guild?”

Upon hearing this, Nathan realized it was indeed the case. He quickly opened the map.

Sure enough, the map only showed him in Canlight City, surrounded by darkness, indicating that players needed to explore and mark locations.

After some thought, Nathan felt it wouldn’t make much sense to team up with the rowdy players. So, he left the alley alone, and many others, like Nathan, began exploring the world.

Ignoring the puzzled gazes of the indigenous people, Nathan finally arrived at Gedo Street where the Mercenary Guild was located.

Although he was stared at like a fool, Nathan was still quite happy.

For no other reason than this world was fantastic!

The bustling crowd, the dazzling array of goods, the passing cargo carts, even the smell of horse dung was so real. Nathan felt like he was truly in another world.

This only made him more excited! What would it feel like to officially advance as a professional, mastering extraordinary abilities?

Nathan chose the warrior profession, not because he liked it, but because he felt other professions might be too difficult to operate. For a newbie like him, the straightforward brute force of a warrior seemed more suitable.

Thinking this, Nathan walked into Gedo Street, when suddenly, he heard a loud shout.

“White Dove Chamber of Commerce, recruiting on a large scale!”

“Healthy individuals with potential preferred!”

“Free meals and accommodation, generous rewards!”

“Internal offer of professional advancement courses, first come, first served!”

Hearing this, Nathan was intrigued. The Mercenary Guild must be crowded with players now, so why not try this White Dove Chamber of Commerce’s recruitment? After all, he had some time to spare.

After a while, Nathan, with a face full of frustration, squeezed out of the crowd surrounding the White Dove Chamber of Commerce shop.

Damn it! Why me!

Nathan felt he had acted quite normally, pretending to be an indigenous person and answering the recruiter’s questions, only to be told he lacked potential and was rejected!

Is finding a job in the game world this hard?

Just as Nathan was considering whether to try the Mercenary Guild, someone lightly tapped his shoulder.
