"Can these guys stop causing trouble for us!" All the employees of the parallel world company were crying, especially the technical department. After solving the technical problem of the Cloud Cloud City's dungeon being overcrowded, another group of extremely overpowered people created an even bigger technical problem. This made the employees of the parallel world deeply feel how difficult it was to work and earn money.
"Tell everyone to wake up and come work overtime!!" That night, the phones of all the employees in the game company exploded with calls. The extremely overpowered names were like thunder to everyone's ears, letting every employee know how amazing they were. Many employees were woken up from their sleep, and when faced with their young children's question, "Daddy, what are you doing so late at night?", they would answer in a daze, "Extremely overpowered!"
"How will we deal with this?" The lower level employees were discussing. At this time, the online players had already started to swarm towards Cloud Cloud City and Moonlit Night City, while the higher-ups were still discussing how to deal with this matter. It was a tragedy, as the discussion on the forums was the busiest period of the day, so the news spread very widely. Therefore, the players who knew about this didn't go offline that night, and they started to hurry over.
The decision makers came up with a plan very quickly. First, they firmly rejected the idea of contacting the extremely overpowered players again and negotiating with them to solve the problem. If the game company kept compromising with the players, and not the majority, but the very small amount, where would their face go?
"This time, we must use technology to solve this problem." The big boss hammered out a general plan.
"Solve it with technology and combine it with reality. It's actually not too difficult." At this time, a strategist started to suggest a plan. He controlled the projector, and a huge map appeared on the screen. Of course, everyone present knew that this was the full picture of the parallel world map.
"Everyone, please look, Cloud Cloud City and Moonlit Night City are in the southwest corner of the parallel world. With the distance between the two cities, in just one night, almost 85% of the players in the main cities won't be able to reach Cloud Cloud City and Moonlit Night City by foot, and these 85% of the players can only use teleportation scrolls. I think we should first control the teleportation scrolls from a technical point of view, and the majority of the players will be controlled," the strategist analyzed.
"Lock down all the teleportation scrolls?" someone asked.
"Maybe we can do it more tactfully, for example, temporarily lock down the mail transmission," the strategist said.
"Mail delivery?"
Think Tank confidently gestured on the map and said, "If the other main cities want to teleport to the fixed point of Cloud Moon City, the scroll in their hands must have the coordinates of these two cities. Think about it, if the players from other cities want to have the coordinates of these two cities, they have to at least send the scroll in their hands to their friends to help them make the coordinates, or buy the coordinates scroll from the merchants and studios of Cloud Moon City. So, by locking the mail, it's equivalent to controlling their movements to go to the Cloud and Moonlight Cities. "
"That's right!" Those who didn't understand immediately understood.
"That's it. Lock the email immediately and make up a reason. Let's do it now. "The boss made the decision immediately.
A lot of time had passed from the moment he saw the excitement on the forums to the moment the news broke out. Then, he discovered that the players had started moving towards these two cities without logging off. Finally, he gathered his people to discuss a solution. According to the data from the monitoring team, the number of people in Cloud and Moonlit Night Cities had begun to increase. Obviously, it was impossible to walk to Cloud Moon City from the main cities that were too far away. The players also knew such a simple logic. So, the players who came from far away thought of the idea of teleportation scrolls. Those who had ready-made scrolls were basically ready to go. Those who didn't had ready-made scrolls were looking for ways to buy them. The most depressed ones were those who didn't have money. At this time, they were asking their friends to raise funds. One scroll could teleport four people, so each person had a quarter, which would reduce the burden a lot.
"No matter what, the peak of players in Cloud Moon City and Moonlight Night Cities is inevitable. I think these two main cities should quickly load the servers to reduce the load." Think Tank suggested.
"Do you have backup servers?" the boss asked.
"Yes, yes," someone replied.
"How long do you need?" the boss asked.
"If everything goes well, half an hour! But the connection must be cut in this half an hour, "the person in charge of this area replied.
"I think …" Another person said, "As the number of people increases, the server can't handle it. There will be delays, and the players will also feel it. At this time, we will take the opportunity to cut the connection and announce that it will be solved in half an hour. The players will definitely understand."
"Okay." The boss nodded.
"Then how many servers should each city load?"
"How many backup servers?" the boss asked.
"20," the answer was.
"Why so few?" The boss frowned.
"This is to deal with temporary problems. I didn't think we would need to deal with this sudden situation. This kind of thing changes quickly, so we intentionally controlled the number from the beginning. This is what you signed, "the subordinate reminded.
"20 servers is enough. Currently, the number of players in each main city is still a long way from full capacity. If it wasn't for these guys causing a commotion all over the world, we wouldn't need to do this at all. "
"Just in case, use all ten servers in each city!" the boss said.
"Understood."
"Are there any other questions?" the boss asked.
"Regarding this dispute, what position should we take?" someone asked the boss.
"Continue to provide services. Don't get caught up in it when there is no topic pointing at us." The boss seemed to have thought it through.
The Parallel World Game Company was also very efficient. The higher-ups held a meeting while making decisions. When the meeting ended, the work of locking down the mail was completed. The announcement on the official website didn't mention anything about this incident at all. It only said that the data was a bit abnormal and suspected to be a trojan horse attack. The mail service would be suspended, and the items, letters, and money in the mail would be completely preserved.
This announcement didn't attract the attention of the players at first. It wasn't until a large number of players who were dealing with Teleportation Scrolls went through this part of the transaction that they realized there was nothing in their mailbox. It was just a mail sent by the system. When they went to the official website to take a look, they realized that this announcement was exactly the same as the mail in the game.
Everyone was in an uproar. Although the officials didn't make a clear statement, there was no doubt that the sudden detection of the mail malfunction at this time made the players who finally had the conditions to go to the Cloud and Moonlit Cities furious. Instantly, there was a new target on the forum. The boss even said "don't get caught up in it when there is no topic pointing at us", but as soon as the mail was locked, it was immediately attacked …
Everyone in the game company didn't expect that the busiest department of the night was the customer service department. The phones kept ringing, emails kept being received, and complaints kept being posted on the forum.
"Isn't there a problem with locking the mail …" Some people were already feeling guilty. The think-tank who came up with this idea was sweating profusely. He had underestimated the awareness of the players. Even if the players didn't think of the purpose of this move, as long as this happened and blocked everyone's path to wealth, no matter what the players' true purpose was, they would still come to trample on you. The customer service manager glared at him angrily. It was said that there were already four customer service girls on his side who had been scolded to tears by the players.
"Crazy, they've all gone crazy …" someone said in a daze.
At this time, the first group of players who were migrating on foot had already reached the destination. From the map, it could be seen that Cloud Cloud City was closer to the corner than Moonlit Night City. For people in the world, Moonlit Night City was the closer choice. Many main cities even used Moonlit Night City as a transit point to go to Cloud Cloud City. At this time, Moonlit Night City had more players gathered than Cloud Cloud City. Some people even didn't plan to continue after arriving here.
There were people everywhere in Moonlit Night City and outside the city! The network lag that had been extinct in online games for many years had finally appeared. Moreover, in the holographic mode, the players had a whole new experience. Every player had mastered teleportation, and the scene in front of them was always reincarnating. The words that they had just said were actually heard again in the next second. Where did the sound come from? No idea …
Amidst the panic, the system announcement appeared without delay: The server has overloaded and will stop working. Players, please pay attention to the official homepage.
Ten seconds later, the Moonlit Night City players were all cut off from the internet. Everyone rushed to the homepage and saw the announcement that the game company had prepared. This announcement didn't cause too much of a commotion. The players could understand the real reason. More importantly, the game company promised to solve the problem within half an hour. This allowed the players to relax and wait. The reality proved that the game company in this parallel world was quite honest when it came to operations.
The local players of Moonlit Night City were quite unhappy. According to what they knew, this was a very overpowered guild from Cloud Cloud City. This situation was also caused by them, but in the end, their Moonlit Night City was cut off. What was going on?
The temporary shutdown of the server didn't cause a huge uproar, but the mailbox problem still needed to be solved. The announcement had been out for more than an hour, but there were still players coming to complain and complain. Three girls from the customer service department ran to the washroom in tears.
"Another announcement: Mailbox monitoring is also responsible for the players. If the data is damaged, it will be the players' interests that will be lost. That's why the mailbox is locked." The secretary quickly recorded the boss's instructions. Of course, the boss meant what he said. The official announcement still needed to be polished. Polite words like "Players, please understand" and "Not having a mailbox doesn't affect the normal progress of the game. I hope everyone has a good time."
After this announcement, the players quieted down. Many players calmed down and asked how long it would take to solve the problem, hoping for a clear answer.
Thus, the official reply was that because it was an external attack, they couldn't estimate the time and asked everyone to pay attention to the latest announcement …
Everything was just like the saying: Telling a lie requires countless lies to cover it up. The game company found an excuse to lock the mailbox, and now they had to continue lying to patch it up. More importantly, with so many players pressuring them, it seemed like they couldn't keep using the mailbox lock. It was better to find another way. The higher-ups once again sat together nervously.
Among the players who were denouncing the mailbox incident, there was no lack of Forever Comrade. He had to rely on the mailbox to contact his subordinates. He was planning to deal with the mail once it piled up, but when he arrived, he received a system mail like this. He was furious.
Then he realized that with the mailbox locked, they couldn't go to Cloud Peak or Moonlit Night City. They didn't have teleportation scrolls for the coordinates of the two cities! Although the studio had them, the mail couldn't be sent over even if they had.
The news that Unbelievable was going to throw away their equipment was also known by now. Matchless Qi was furious. He didn't expect them to be so calm. There were so many equipment scrolls, and they weren't tempted at all? Perhaps each of them had kept some for themselves, but they were willing to give up most of it. This was undoubtedly a smart move. This move easily shut the mouths of the players. Now, no one cared about who was in the right and who was in the wrong in this battle between Against Overpowered and Age.
What was worse was that this move couldn't be replicated by Ying Qi. Although they had more resources on hand, the equipment they were throwing away belonged to them, so they were the ones who would feel the pinch. Now they were throwing it away, and still feeling the pinch? What's more, they were throwing it away, so what was the point? With just a throw, he could throw a heaven-defying person to death? Not only was there no reason for Ying Qi to throw it away, but it also proved that he was an idiot.
"Shameless! Too shameless!! " Matchless Qi gritted his teeth in anger, and sent a message to Forever, "Go to Cloud Peak immediately. If you see Unbelievable Qi, kill him, kill him!!!"
"I can't go." Forever replied miserably.
"Why!!"
"The mailbox is locked, I can't get the teleportation scrolls." Forever said.
"I …" Matchless Qi couldn't even curse. He felt like he was really unlucky. Why did so many bad things have to happen at the same time?
"How's it going with the people I asked you to bring?" Matchless Qi asked.
"The mailbox is locked!"
"Do I have to use the mailbox for this? Can't you change your contact details? Go and leave your ID on the announcement and open your friends list! If that doesn't work, leave your phone number, QQ, and email!!! Don't you know how to do that? "Matchless Qi roared. In reality, ever since he hired the Eagle Group as his personal guards, he had never spoken so rudely to the players. This time, he was angry, truly angry.
Forever tactfully replied, "I'll get it done." and then disappeared.
"Fuck … why is it like this …" Matchless Qi felt like things were going too far from what he had expected. He didn't know if he could turn things around.
At this time, Cloud Peak City was very peaceful with Moonlit City acting as their cover. Apart from the fact that there were more players in the wilderness on the streets.
These players had all arrived at Cloud Peak City before the mailbox was locked. Their numbers weren't enough to cause congestion in Cloud Peak City, but the flow of people was very obvious. This was different from a City War, where players would gather in one place. These players were moving around freely like normal people, making Cloud Peak City seem very lively.
It was very heaven-defying, and he was quite busy at the moment. Countless players were trying to get in touch with them and find out why they were losing equipment the next day. These players had traveled tens of thousands of miles to Cloud Peak City, and if they returned empty-handed, they would lose a lot of face. They had to at least get something! This was especially true for the players who were in other places. They all felt like they had the upper hand.
However, it was a pity that this operation was extremely heaven-defying. Only the core members of the guild were participating. Apart from them, the rest were Cloud Twilight's subordinates. Although the others knew about this, they weren't much different from other players. They were even thinking of coming out early the next day to pick up the loot.
As members of their own guild, they were receiving this kind of treatment. It was quite unbearable to say it out loud. However, the Guild's internal department had already digested this problem. Yesterday, Sword Ghost had gone to find Yun Xiang and dealt with this problem. Otherwise, the Guild members wouldn't have been able to explain the entire plan at all. It was a little sad. After knowing the whole story, Very Overpowered players didn't have any more objections and continued doing what they were supposed to do. However, it was troublesome to have a friend come to ask. If they said they didn't know, they wouldn't believe them. In the end, everyone felt a bit awkward. However, everyone was mentally prepared for this situation. They had a clear conscience.
"It's a lot livelier …" Young Master Han stood at the entrance of the tavern, feeling quite depressed. He wasn't afraid of the liveliness. What annoyed him was that there were so many people that the tavern didn't have any empty seats. This was the seventh tavern he had been to, and it was still packed. From this point, Young Master Han regretted making such a plan.
"This is good. Moonlit City has already stopped connecting because there are too many people." Brother You said.
"It seems like everyone is paying attention to our operation this time." Young Master Han said.
"But the things we have probably can't satisfy so many people, right?" Brother You said.
"Of course. Compared to so many players, this amount of resources is too minuscule." Young Master Han said.
"How many of those things are there? Did Yun Teng tell them? "
"About one-fifteenth of the resources of Genius Workshop." Young Master Han said.
"That's a lot!" Brother You's eyes widened. At that time, they couldn't even move half of that warehouse. He didn't think that there would be one-fifteenth of it. It seemed like Matchless Genius Workshop's words about resources in Xi Xiaotian's interview were exaggerated.
"Hey, where are you going?" Brother You sighed and realized that Young Master Han had disappeared. He turned around and saw that the guy had left without a word.
"Seeing everyone's passion, I'm touched. I've decided to go offline and rest. I'll come early tomorrow to deliver the goods." Young Master Han waved his hand without turning his head.
"Is that so? Isn't it because there's no place to drink? "Brother You muttered.
