"Can these people 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 overcrowded Cloud Cloud City's dungeon, another group of heaven-defying people created an even bigger technical problem. This made the employees of the parallel world deeply feel how difficult it was to earn a living just by doing a job.
"Inform 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 well-known, and every employee knew how amazing they were. Many employees were woken up from their sleep, and when faced with their children's question, "Dad, 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 in the game had already started to swarm towards 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 far and wide. Therefore, the players who knew about this didn't go offline that night, and they started to hurry up.
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 a very small amount, where would their dignity be?
"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 knew that this was the full map of the parallel world.
"Everyone, please look, Cloud City and Moonlit Night City are in the southwest corner of the parallel world. Based on 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 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 block the teleportation of mail," the strategist said.
"Mail delivery?"
Think Tank gestured confidently 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 were those who didn't have money. 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 unavoidable. 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 answered.
"How long do you need?" the boss asked.
"If everything goes well, half an hour! But the connection must be cut in half an hour, "the person in charge of this area answered.
"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 the real reason. 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 trouble all over the world and only two or three main cities, we wouldn't even need to do this. "
"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 Moon and Cloud City furious. In an instant, 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 were ringing non-stop, emails were received non-stop, and the forum was flooded with complaints.
"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 was glaring at him. It was said that there were already four customer service girls who were scolded to tears by the players.
"Crazy, they're all crazy …" someone said in a daze.
At this time, the first group of players who were migrating on foot had reached the destination. From the map, it could be seen that Cloud City was closer to the corner than Moonlit City. For people in the world, Moonlit City was the closer choice. In fact, many main cities wanted to go to Cloud City, and Moonlit City would become a transit point. At this time, Moonlit City was a step ahead of Cloud City, and there were even more players who didn't plan to continue.
Moonlit City's city area and outside the city were filled with people! 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 is overloaded and will stop working soon. Players, please pay attention to the official homepage.
Ten seconds later, the Moonlit 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 commotion. The players could understand the real reason. More importantly, the game company promised to solve the problem within half an hour, which made the players feel at ease. Reality proved that the game company in the parallel world was quite honest when it came to operations.
The native players of Moonlit City were the most displeased. According to their knowledge, they were a guild from Cloud Cloud City, and they were the ones who had caused this to happen. Yet, in the end, Moonlit City had been disconnected. 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 complaining and cursing. Three girls from the customer service department ran to the washroom in tears.
"Another announcement: Mailbox monitoring is also to be responsible for the players. If the data is damaged, it's the players' interests that are lost. That's why the mailbox is locked." The secretary immediately 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 does not affect the game. Have fun playing" still needed to be said.
After this announcement, the players quieted down a little. Many players who had calmed down began to ask how long it would take to solve the problem, hoping for a clear answer.
Therefore, the game company replied 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 no choice but to continue lying to patch it up. More importantly, with so many players being so aggressive, it seemed like they couldn't keep using this mailbox lock. It was better to find another way. Once again, the higher-ups sat together nervously.
Among the players who were denouncing the mailbox incident, there was no lack of Forever Comrades. He had to rely on the mailbox to contact his subordinates. He was planning to deal with all the mail once it piled up, but he didn't expect to receive a system mail like this when he arrived. 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 with the coordinates of the two cities! Although the studio had them, the mail was blocked, so they couldn't send them over.
The news that they were going to dump their equipment was also known by now. Matchless Genius was furious. He didn't expect these guys to be so calm. There were so many equipment scrolls, and they weren't tempted at all? Perhaps each of them 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. No one cared about who was right and who was wrong in this fight between Against Matchless and Matchless.
What was worse was that this move couldn't be replicated by Matchless Genius. Although they had more resources on hand, the equipment that Matchless Genius threw away belonged to them, so they were the ones who felt bad. Now that they were throwing it away, would they continue to feel bad? What's more, what was the point of this? Just by throwing it away, they would be able to kill Against Matchless Genius? Not only was there no reason for Matchless Genius to throw it away, but it also proved that he was an idiot.
"Shameless! Too shameless!! " Matchless Genius clenched his teeth in anger and messaged Forever, "Immediately go to Cloud City, if you see Against Against Matchless Genius, kill him!!!"
"I can't go." Forever replied miserably.
"Why!!"
"My mailbox is locked, I can't get a teleportation scroll." Forever replied.
"I …" Matchless Genius couldn't even curse anymore. He felt like he was really unlucky. Why did so many things have to happen at the same time?
"How's it going with the people I asked you to bring?" Matchless Genius asked.
"My mailbox is locked!"
"Do I have to use my 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, your QQ, and your email!!! Don't you know how to do that? "Matchless Genius roared. In fact, ever since he hired the Eagle Party as his personal guard, he had never spoken so rudely to the players. This time, he was angry, truly angry.
Forever was tactful and replied "I'll get it done" before disappearing.
"Fuck … why is it like this …" Matchless Genius felt like things were going too far from what he had planned. He didn't know if he could turn things around.
At this time, Cloud City, with Moonlit City acting as their cover, was very peaceful. Aside from the obvious increase in the number of players in the wilderness on the streets.
These players had teleported to Cloud City before their mailboxes were locked. Their numbers weren't enough to cause congestion in Cloud City, but it was obvious that there was an increase in the number of people. This was different from a Siege War where players would gather in one place. These players were moving around freely like normal people, making Cloud City look very lively.
It was very heaven-defying, and he was quite busy at the moment. Countless players were trying to contact them and find out what was going to happen tomorrow. These players had traveled thousands of miles to come here, and if they returned empty-handed, they would lose face. They had to at least get something! This was especially true for those OP players who felt that they had the upper hand at this moment.
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 treated like this. It was hard to bear. 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, the Very Strong players didn't have any more objections and continued doing what they were doing. However, it was troublesome to have friends come to ask. If they said they didn't know, they wouldn't believe them. In the end, everyone was a bit embarrassed. However, everyone was mentally prepared for this situation. They had a clear conscience.
"It's a lot livelier …" Han Family Young Master 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 was full. This was already the seventh tavern he went to, and it was still full of people. From this point, Han Family Young Master regretted making this plan.
"That's 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." Han Family Young Master said.
"But the things we have, I'm afraid we can't satisfy so many people right?" Brother You said.
"Of course. Compared to so many players, this amount of resources is too small." Han Family Young Master said.
"How much do we have? Did Yun Teng tell us? "
"About 1/15 of the resources of Ying Qi's studio." Han Family Young Master said.
"That's a lot!" Brother You's eyes widened. At that time, they couldn't even move half of the warehouse. He didn't think that they would have 1/15 of the resources. It seemed like when Unparalleled Wonder was interviewed by Xi Xiaotian, he didn't say much about the resources.
"Hey, where are you going?" After Brother You said this, he realized that Han Family Young Master had already disappeared. He turned around and saw that he had left without a word.
"Seeing everyone's passion, I'm touched. I've decided to go offline and rest. I'll come back early tomorrow to deliver the goods." Han Family Young Master waved his hand without turning back.
"Is that so? Isn't it because there's no place to drink? "Brother You muttered.
