  "Never heard of this character in my previous life, 'Water Vortex'... ransted like this usually belong to extraordinary races, like elves, demons, ons."

  From the tent of the letter, she should be the head of Trekie's Exhibition Hall, or at least the marketing agent.

  That card, which amplifies one's inner desires, is probably her handiwork.

  Just wait—Li Aozzi ched his fist—daring to scam my money, I'll open the box and drag you out for a thh lesson sooner or ter.

  "The sending time is ZGM.0238/1/13—Layer Abyss Passage dar, the 238th restart of civilization, the First Entropy Colpse, the 13th Narrative."

  There's no cept of time in the universe; the varying degrees of gravity affect the description of time's passage.

  Therefore, for those big shots, they use a universal dar, taking each restart of an era as a time cycle.

  Discarding the year, month, and day, they only record destru and new birth.

  It's a very plex and a dar.

  Li Aozzi recalled that oraordinary beings with lifespans exceeding 20K would choose this rec method; for them, their long memories were too vast, not meant for short-lived species.

  Judging by this, the other party is at least a Sigma-level extraordinary being—this level is higher than the game levels in his previous life.

  "However, the 13th Narrative..."

  Li Aozzi remembered that the 13th Narrative referred to both time and a geographical location.

  Specifically, it referred to the 13th hegemonic civilization, indig that Glina is within this time period, located ih hegemonic civilization.

  As for the 13th hegemonic civilization, pyers usually called it the Lords Empire.

  This dar system didn't fit mortal cepts of time; even Li Aozzi didn't know much about it.

  Time seemed mysterious on a pary level, but it was nothing in the universe.

  "A dragon woman ih Narrative? After version 12.0, people have desded at least two levels into the Abyss, using the 10th Narrative."

  Li Aozzi shook his head.

  The tact was likely a mass message; it's impossible she was genuinely ied in an ordinary person like him.

  Starting as a Sigma-level dragon woman, she must have been invited by the Lords Empire.

  However, this matter had no immediate signifi. Sigma-level beings, roughly level 360-380, typically had lived long enough to be quite Zen ale.

  Judging by her tone and name, she seemed to be a nian. Glina must be a gentle, knowledgeable elder sister type.

  She wouldn't care about someone like him.

  Instead, Li Aozzi was very ied in the opening of the official website and forum.

  "Pyers are finally ing! But, in the alpha test phase, there are only 14 people, scattered around Frostbite; there won't be many nearby."

  Li Aozzi checked the official website. Qiqiao work had annouhe first batch of test slots, with this alpha test mainly showg development pleteness.

  "It is ihe legendary alpha test. The timeliches."

  Alpha testing was for tent pleteness.

  In simple terms, it was to showcase the game's pleteo the govers funding the project, proving the money was well spent.

  Uraditional immersion games, Star Abyss involved many real-world engineering projects, especially ing neural links awork issues, which govers took very seriously.

  Beyond the game itself, Star Abyss had vast social implications, including the metaverse, cloud Olympics, eleic immigration, and virtual capital markets.

  The principle was simple: a game that could serve as a sed world could host tut csses, panies, schools, and simuted military training.

  In version 9.0, pyers even repced their home ps and nations, fighting a real war within Star Abyss.

  Game? Reality?

  For pyers and the nations behind them, Star Abyss was aronic y.

  The ear Abyss used chaos theory algorithms, allowing the light brain to self-pute and evolve. Even Qiqiao work couldn't modify or adjust the data.

  In theory, a game developed by the teology that stopped all real-world wars couldn't g; otherwise, humanity's post-quantum teology theories would be fually fwed.

  But nations didn't think that way; ensuring pyer safety, information security, and public property was necessary before proceeding with further projects.

  So, Qiqiao work had to ensure a tent pleteest before officially ung, followed by the first batch of no-wipe internal tests for panies and pro pyer groups.

  Finally, public testing, with citizens from all tries linking their neural works and desding into the Abyss.

  "Think about it, Star Abyss never had GMs or deakers. Some pyers always felt the world was too real, with too little interference from the light brain and Qiqiao work... things are getting iing."

  Li Aozzi knew little about these policies and hidden truths.

  spiracy theories about Star Abyss were rampant online, g things like "the game is just a cover, and pyers are here to ize a 2D world," or "our reality is virtual, and the game is the real timeline."

  Li Aozzi was never ied in spiracy theories.

  But now, he was curious about his own crossing and the world of Star Abyss.

  After all, he wasn't in this for the spiracy; as a streamer, he was better at designing scripts and creating show effects to showcase his skills and prowess.

  Basically, he was more like a variety show performer, with a lot of improvisation.

  "The alpha test doesn't help me much; the official personnel probably won't notice me, no impact. They probably won't enter me."

  Li Aozzi was a bit disappointed, but he looked forward to the future.

  Qiqiao work had no authority to modify game data.

  These internal testers could only level up from scratch without any special privileges.

  In his previous life, disgruntled pyers, angry at the developers and pay-to-win meics, had ganged up on and killed at least 300 internal testers.

  Sigh, all workers, why the hostility...

  Li Aozzi couldn't get good gear or skills from them.

  But these people, with internal data and reference, should be good at making money.

  After the alpha test, there would be beta tests for pro pyers and major panies, anizations, and popur self-media and streamers.

  They were Li Aozzi's true hunting targets.

  "By then, they'll be captivated by the charm of the Mutant."

  Speaking of which...

  Li Aozzi g the game mall's final patch version and couldn't help but ugh.

  If he entered official testers, he would sell these items to them.

  Dog officials, see how I cut your leeks!

  Li Aozzi opehe game forum. Although it was just the alpha stage, with no trailers or previews, many people were already discussing it.

  ——————————————

  As expected, there wasn't much useful information on the forum. People weren't that enthusiastic about Star Abyss yet, and some were already worried about eleic immigration.

  Li Aozzi had no ent oronic immigration.

  In his previous life, he chose to tinue experieng real life and didn't upload his sciouso the game, only to end up crossing into the game world himself.

  "Life is uable; anything happen."

  Li Aozzi closed the forum, sighing.

  People might be resistironic immigration now, and marketing ats might be making a big deal out of it, critig it as inhumane.

  But after a couple of versions, their attitudes would do a 180-degree turn.

  "Why am I suddenly sounding like a philosopher?"

  Qiu Ran, holding the steering wheel, gnced curiously at Li Aozzi.

  He shook his head:

  "Nothing, just thinking about some mistakes I made when blindly following trends in my youth."
