Chapter 408: Closed Beta Test of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"
After Li Mingde left, Fu Yibai did not stay in the office either.
He turned off the computer screen, got up, and walked outside.
Zhang Xinyu stood up from her workstation.
"Mr. Fu."
"I'm going to the fifteenth floor; you don't need to come with me."
The elevator went down to the fifteenth floor.
The receptionist was looking down at her phone when she caught a glimpse of a figure approaching. The moment she looked up and saw who it was, she almost threw her phone away.
"Mr. Fu!"
"Where is your General Manager Liu?"
"In the PUBG project team, on the sixteenth floor."
Should I call him?
"Need not."
Fu Yibai turned around and took the elevator to the sixteenth floor.
Liu Yongqiang was leaning over a tester, looking at the screen, his elbows resting on the back of the chair, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around.
"Mr. Fu? What brings you here?"
"have a look.
How's the beta test going?
Liu Yongqiang took the unlit cigarette out of his mouth and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
The test team leader next to him had already stood up cleverly and given up his seat.
"Technically speaking, it's ready for public testing."
Liu Yongqiang pulled out a chair next to him, and Fu Yibai sat down.
Let's play a game.
You called two people.
Liu Yongqiang grinned and turned to shout towards the workstation area.
"Old Zhou! Ah Kun! Log in!"
Two young men peeked out from behind the computer.
Old Zhou, wearing black-rimmed glasses, is the project team's chief firearms designer.
Ah Kun is a server architect with messy hair like a bird's nest. His T-shirt has a line of small print on it: "My code can run, don't ask me why."
The four people found four machines side by side in the testing area and sat down.
Fu Yibai put on his headphones, swiped the mouse across the pad a couple of times, and felt its solid grip.
He logged into the test account that Liu Yongqiang had given him.
"Join the team."
Liu Yongqiang has already created a custom room.
The countdown ends, and the screen cuts to the spawn island.
One hundred test accounts were crammed onto the beach in the north of the island, some jumping up and down, others punching the air.
The flight path cuts diagonally from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.
The roar of the plane's engines came through his headphones, and Fu Yibai marked P City on the map.
"The boss jumped into Pochinki?"
Old Zhou's voice came through the earphone, his tone tinged with worry.
Pochinki was notorious as a meat grinder during the testing period; more than half of the testers loved to jump there, and landing meant a chaotic melee.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Liu Yongqiang then spoke.
"I'll jump wherever the boss tells me to."
The four people jumped out from the rear of the cabin and spaced themselves out in the air.
He controlled the parachute and floated towards the blue-roofed dormitory buildings in the northwest corner of P City.
The parachute detached automatically three meters above the ground, and he landed in front of a three-story building.
The headphones were already ringing with gunfire and footsteps. There were at least five squads in P City.
He pushed open the door and saw an M16A4 and sixty rounds of 5.56 ammunition lying on the floor. He picked up the gun and reloaded it.
Footsteps came from the second floor; there were at least two people.
He touched the stair railing as he climbed up, stopping at the corner on the second floor.
Footsteps moved back and forth in the corridor; the other person was clearly listening to his location.
Liu Yongqiang's voice came through the audio.
"Boss, we're in that red building to your south. We'll come over after we finish cleaning this one."
"No need, you guard the south."
After Fu Yibai finished speaking, he slipped out around the corner.
Two people stood at the end of the second-floor corridor, one holding an AKM and the other holding a UMP9.
His M16A4 fired three-round bursts, the first round of bullets hitting the AKM player in the chest, crippling him but not knocking him down.
The man holding the UMP9 had already reacted; the bullet grazed him and hit the wall behind him.
Fu Yibai retreated to the corner, changed his position, climbed out of the stairwell window, and circled around the narrow eaves of the outer wall to the other end of the corridor.
The two players were still aiming their guns at the corner of the stairs, completely unaware of what was behind them.
The M16A4 fired a second three-round burst, and the AKM player fell to the ground.
UMP9 players turn and fire.
Fu Yibai did not retreat, but took a step forward, and the third round of shots hit the opponent's head.
Two elimination announcements appeared on the screen.
"handsome!"
In the voice message, Lao Zhou's tone had changed from worry to admiration.
The safe zone is starting to shrink.
The first circle appeared in the south-central part of the map, with Pochinki right on the edge of the circle.
Fu Yibai searched several rooms and found a level 2 suite and several bottles of medicine.
"Boss, we've finished clearing this place out. Three heads." Liu Yongqiang reported.
"Move towards the wheat field to the south, the circle is moving in that direction."
The four people met at the edge of the wheat field south of P City.
Ah Kun drove his Jeep out of the garage and drifted to a stop in front of the three of them.
Old Zhou sat in the passenger seat, while Fu Yibai and Liu Yongqiang got into the back seat.
The jeep drove south through the wheat field.
The gunshots in the headphones gradually subsided, and nearly forty players had been eliminated in the 100-player game.
Ah Kun parked the car behind a reverse slope, and the four of them got out and lay on the top of the slope to observe.
Ahead was an open area with a few scattered trees and haystacks.
Below the hillside were several small buildings, and Lao Zhou saw shadowy figures moving around in the windows through his scope.
Two people have been found.
Old Zhou was lying next to Fu Yibai, holding an SKS.
