Chapter 159 The Players All Exploded! Does This Game Company Really Hate Us Charging Money?

It's late at night.

Zhang Heng was sitting in front of the computer and had just finished a video review about "Top Tactics".

As the first battle to witness the rise of the number one player... oh, the first witness.

Zhang Heng has experienced this pure game company, starting from the "Origin of Species" that no one paid attention to at the beginning.

Later, when "Jedi Unknown" was banned by major studios, he also shouldered a heavy responsibility and made an indelible contribution to the resumption of "Jedi Unknown".

He was even called the second generation by good people. This reputation still brought Zhang Heng a lot of traffic.

The originally declining playback volume and the popularity of the account, which is barely worth a million fans, have also been improved after the production of a series of game videos on Ready Player One.

As of today, Zhang Heng’s Perak account ‘Lao Zhang Shuo Game’ has gained a crazy following of 3 million followers.

Each video playback stably exceeds 2 million+

Almost only games related to Ready Player One.

Starting from the time when a new game is released, we do trial play evaluation, and then as more and more play styles are developed, we analyze the game routines.

Then let’s do one or two summaries, from the game design concept to the spirit expressed behind the game.

Some games even trigger social responses, why do they attract so much attention?

He will give detailed answers to the audience in the video, and delve into the underlying logic behind it.

Because the verticality is high enough, and Zhang Heng puts in a lot of effort to check various information before making a video.

Therefore, it is almost considered the exclusive UP owner of Ready Player One, and many fans have even developed a habit.

If you want to know about Ready Player One’s recent new games, you can’t go wrong with ‘Lao Zhang Talks about Games’.

Thanks to Ready Player One, Zhang Heng’s life is getting better and better.

In the past, his wife and children followed him closely, but now he has bought an Audi A3. The small suburban apartment he inherited from his parents has been sold long ago and replaced with a large three-bedroom apartment in the city center.

Although he is not particularly rich yet, he has already reached the middle class in his small county and has become prosperous.

Of course, Zhang Heng knows how to repay kindness.

Although he has always boasted in the video that he is the spiritual shareholder of Ready Player One, for Player One to be where it is today, their chief designer has to give him a thumbs up.

'If it hadn't been for "Origin of Species", 'Your Gravograph might have died when making the first game'... He mentioned this matter countless times during the live broadcast, and many viewers were confused. Got calluses.

But Zhang Heng also knew that those were just jokes.

If you really think about it, the number one player is his benefactor, and this wave of kindness cannot be reciprocated.

Without Kejin, there would be no number one player.

I can’t make it to where I am today.

Want to repay the favor!

I must repay you severely!

Zhang Hen's way of repaying is also very direct.

Whether in video or live broadcast.

He will vigorously promote Top Player One's extremely conscientious krypton gold system and encourage players to appropriately spend more krypton gold in Top Player.

Every time, Top Player No. 1 designs various abstract krypton gold interfaces.

He will also immediately stand up to clear the ground for the number one player, interpreting Ke Jin's thoughts from various angles.

But in the end, everyone will conclude that ‘Gravograph is thinking about the players! ’, ‘Where can I find such a conscientious game company now?’, ‘Don’t worry about the details, spend more money. ’

And he also leads by example. Every time he plays a game, he finds ways to charge up to 18,000 yuan.

"Ouch... withdraw now, withdraw quickly." As soon as he clicked to upload the video, Zhang Heng quickly muttered withdraw and patted his forehead.

You tell me this.

As we age past thirty, people tend to become forgetful.

How could you forget the krypton gold system that needs to be trumpeted every issue?

Let me see what else can be used in TFT this time.

Add it to the video!

Do your best to help the number one player make a fortune!

While opening the "Genting" mall, Zhang Heng stood up and made himself a cup of coffee.

Although it’s not good for your health to stay up late and drink this stuff all the time.

But there was nothing I could do. It was quiet in the middle of the night, and my thoughts became more active.

Just when Zhang Heng came back to take a look after making coffee.

He was slightly startled.

"This mall interface...why can't it be loaded?"

How long has it been?

How many minutes has it been?

My home network is broken?

He opened other web pages.

I clicked on several videos at random.

There is no problem with the network, and the video loads very quickly.

But after refreshing the mall, I waited for a while.

Still no movement.

"This is strange..."

Zhang Heng clicked his tongue and while waiting for the mall to load, he simply opened the No. 1 Intelligence APP to see what the latest information was.

It doesn't matter if you don't see it.

At a glance, I saw the "Little Gwen" skin promoted on the homepage.

After clicking in and looking at Gwen’s skin preview CG.

Zhang Heng's eyes suddenly widened.

Yo West!

I've found a way to stimulate players to make money!

Just this skin! Such cuteness index!

Who is not confused after watching this?

More importantly, the number one player conscientiously posted the probability on the official website.

For five yuan a draw, you can get it in about ten or twenty draws.

Well, my conscience is still the same as always!

"Then let's do this first!"

Zhang Heng hurriedly started to re-edit the video, and cut out part of the CG of Gwen's skin, adding a daily recommendation link at the end of the video.

After everything is done, you're done.

He stretched.

"The short video material for the next issue is also available. You can post a 100-draw or 200-draw card drawing video to empty the mall, Xiao Shui's first issue."

"I'm such a genius, hehe."

"How about striking while the iron is hot and recording it now."

"This way I can take my wife and kids out to play next week."

All plans were made, and Zhang Heng was gearing up to get started.

As a result, just after switching to the "Genting" client, people were dumbfounded.

"no……"

"you……"

Why hasn't it been loaded yet?

Brother! It’s been half an hour since I modified the video!

"Is it because of network fluctuations late at night?"

After refreshing several times to no avail, Zhang Heng ran to the forum section of the No. 1 Information forum and browsed through it.

as expected.

I am not an exception.

It was already three or four in the morning, but there were quite a few active users on the number one intelligence forum.

Many players are posting questions asking, ‘Why can’t the mall interface be opened? ’, ‘Is the server crashed? ’, ‘How to connect to the campus network with the fastest speed? ’

Zhang Heng also asked in the forum.

A lot of players suddenly exploded.

"Hello Nidaime!"

"Nidaime is still up so late?"

"The mall over there at Nidaimei also exploded? It seems it's not a problem with my network."

"How to solve it, boss."

"Damn, I want little Gwen so much! I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't get it!"

Faced with a group of people asking him for help.

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said with a pinch of words.

"If the server fluctuates, you can consider setting up a VPN to speed up the connection."

"Maybe "Genting" is too popular and too many players poured in at once. The top player didn't expect this."

"If it doesn't work, just go to bed first, or play again tomorrow."

Zhang Heng, who couldn't find a solution, calmed down the players who were impatiently waiting for cash.

Then I exited the APP and tried using VPN to mount the connection.

Generally speaking, if the server is stuck due to overcrowding of players.

If you connect to a VPN, you can squeeze in first.

But what surprised Zhang Heng.

The server fluctuation seems to be different this time...

My annual membership VPN is stuck.

Even when I open some foreign games, it runs smoothly, and once I get to the "Genting" mall, it loads stably.

In this case, basically the server crashes.

The backend ports are all unresponsive, so it’s meaningless no matter how fast your VPN is.

"Good guy, how many people have come in, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? There are so many players asking for gold in the middle of the night..." Zhang Heng muttered.

I thought to myself, forget it.

At the same time, I went to the forum to add another explanation.

"I just tested it and it seems that the server has exploded. Why don't you all go to bed first? The server explosion is obviously unplanned. The top player certainly doesn't want to explode the server. I guess there are already internal personnel working on repairs."

"Wait until tomorrow."

…

"Wait for the day after tomorrow."

…

"Wait one more day."

…

The fourth day.

Even Zhang Heng couldn't sit still. He didn't even dare to go to the forum to express his opinion.

You don’t even have to look at the forum, it must have been blown up.

no.

Ready Player One! What the hell are you doing!

The servers have been bombing for four days and no one cares? ? ?

If that doesn’t work, go check out the hot searches!

Other people's games are either good or bad, and they are praised/scored on the hot searches.

Your family is special!

Even if your server explodes, it will be on the hot search!

As for Ready Player One's reaction.

It cannot be said that there is no movement.

All I can say is, it’s useless.

On Weibo, the official account of Ready Player One is apologizing every day.

"I'm very sorry. We have tried our best to repair it."

"We are very sorry for another server failure and have decided to temporarily distribute 2,000 points to each player's mailbox as compensation."

"terribly sorry……"

The comments at the bottom of the official blog were almost washed away by players.

"2,000 points is a lot of money, and it's quite conscientious, but the problem is... why don't you see how I can go out with your 2,000 points without spending it?"

"Every day I'm either blowing up the server or on the way to blowing up the server. I like your compensation. Is your server shutting down every fucking second?"

"Please hire someone to shut down the server, right? I really can't understand it!"

"Other people have all kinds of bugs in the game but they don't optimize it. The mall keeps making a stable transaction every day. How come it's the other way around here? The game has a stable transaction but the mall refuses to optimize it."

“Gravograph really doesn’t want us to charge money, right?”

"Hurry up and open the krypton gold interface for me! I want to fill up your mall!"

…

It’s not just the major community platforms that are exploding.

Even the Ready Player One company is in quite a state of disarray.

The senior executives held meetings again and again to discuss solutions, and even contacted Tianci Company many times to inquire about the situation.

Tianci was also anxious.

It took a lot of effort to negotiate a cooperation with a major game company like Ready Player One, but this was just the beginning.

The boss of the company was so worried that he was sweating. He wished he could stay up late every day and work hard in front of the server to fix it as soon as it exploded.

Only Ke Jin... Oh, Ke Jin is also very anxious on the surface.

I almost laugh out loud every day in the office.

Even the apology statements on the official blog these days were posted by him himself.

When I saw the krypton guys under the official blog scolding each other, they looked so anxious that they wanted to recharge but couldn't.

Ke Jin felt relieved.

The server this time was modified by him himself.

Separate the mall from the game itself.

Only he can see the actual server details in the background.

Due to the confidentiality agreement, Tianci can only see the user's activity level, and cannot see whether the server is a mall or the game itself.

Tianci also thought that the number one player used his own small server to open an internal partition to dilute and divert some players.

When the pressure on the main server is too high, the secondary server will be automatically activated to allow some players to flow in, thus relieving the pressure.

It's just that "Genting" was so popular that even the divisions couldn't handle the pressure, so it exploded.

For this, Tianci deeply apologizes.

and gave a solution.

Didn’t your family say that Genting is too popular and there are not enough servers?

Then I will add another main server for you!

They are even willing to sign another main server with Top Player at a very low price.

It is used to divert traffic to TFT to compensate for its own immature server system.

As the instigator of the entire incident, Ke Jin is also the only insider of the entire incident.

Naturally, they would not cheat Tianci Company.

You can sign for mainstream servers, but the price will be based on the original price, and their extremely low quotations will not be accepted.

Because it is clear to Jin.

Forget about plugging in another main server, it’s useless if you plug in a hundred more.

The key problem lies in the secondary server.

It's not a staging server for offloading at all.

Instead, it carries the pressure of krypton gold from all players in Genting!

It's really not worth taking advantage of someone.

Especially taking advantage of others when they are kept in the dark will make Jin's conscience uneasy.

After signing another contract with ‘Godsend’.

Ke Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good times are really coming!

At least I am flawless on the outside!

Even the company employees couldn't figure it out.

After all, when the senior management discussed adding a main server.

He nodded immediately and said, "Add it!" Must add!

The employees were deeply moved by that decisive look.

Mr. Mo really treats players as his own children! I can't bear to see them suffer any injustice!

With such a moment, not only ordinary players are happy, but kryptonians must also be extremely happy!

The result is after the new main server is delivered.

Should the mall interface explode? It should continue to explode. It should explode every few minutes.

This time, the employees of both companies were completely dumbfounded.

Especially the God-given employees, one of whom has a head and two heads every day.

What's going on!

And why is only the mall exploding but not the game itself?

What the hell is this BUG?

Never seen it before!

Could it be that your number one player’s mall technology is not up to par?

Ready Player One’s employees are also numb.

Our mall technology department has been working overtime these days, and we have checked every set of data that may cause server disruption.

no problem!

Everything is stable!

finally.

After a few more days.

The problem of the mall interface always exploding has not been resolved.

The players' anger has begun to spread towards Tianci.

They all suggested that the number one player should change this server partner!

Even if you don't know how to be a server, don't do it!

It is a small company sent by God, and it has only just begun to improve in the past two years.

How can it withstand such pressure from the majority of players?

After several intense meetings.

Tianci General Manager Qin Xiong, who was sweating profusely, finally realized a problem.

"That secondary server! Is there a possibility that it is not used as a offload buffer for the main server, but is used alone to do something? For example, the mall that always crashes the server?" At a meeting, Qin Xiong raised his doubts.

It's a pity that he can't get the background data of the number one player. After all, this stuff is a commercial secret and is quite sensitive. He can only guess.

After hearing this, all the employees in the conference room shook their heads: "Impossible, Top Player can't use it to log in to the mall server alone. Then the server will be blown up as soon as players top up money. What is their Top Player trying to do... Is it just fun?" "

"Indeed..." Qin Xiong touched his chin, feeling that what the employee said made sense.

All behavioral motives are related to interests.

The behavior of allowing players to blow up the server as soon as they top up money is obviously harming the best interests of the number one player.

If that were the case, they would definitely be the first to refuse to agree.

"What should we do..." Qin Xiong looked confused: "Is our server so bad?"

I originally hoped that cooperating with the number one player to build some reputation would help with subsequent expansion, allowing more game manufacturers to know the company and get more work.

After all, this is how ‘Xunjie’ started before this, and now it is prosperous.

But if problems arise frequently when we first start working together.

Not to mention other companies...I'm afraid the number one player won't be able to retain...

"What should I do?"

Just when Qin Xiong was pacing back and forth in the conference room anxiously with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, in the huge conference room, an inconspicuous employee slowly raised his hand and said loudly.

"Mr. Qin, I have a plan!"

Qin Xiong paused.

All eyes in the conference room were looking towards the young man.

Qian Cheng.

He had some impression of this young man.

It seems that I joined the company not long ago.

Before this, Qian Cheng had gone to No. 1 Player for an interview and wanted to join the technical department.

But due to various reasons, I was ultimately unable to join the job.

Later, he posted his resume on the recruitment website and was chosen by his company, who hired him.

Although Qian Cheng failed to join the number one player.

However, Number One Player's amiable and cordial approach still left a good impression on him. The two of them even added each other on WeChat privately and became fairly close friends.

Even the fact that Ready Player One and Tianci were able to negotiate this contract was all because Qian Cheng had a chat with the person from Ready Player One.

I accidentally learned that Ready Player One now needs a server partner.

Qian Cheng hurriedly reported back to the company.

Qin Xiong then stepped forward and decisively sent his intention to cooperate to the top player.

In the end, we actually negotiated a cooperation.

It can be said that Qian Cheng deserves a certain amount of credit for taking on this big job.

Originally, Qin Xiong was considering promoting him.

Unexpectedly, this young man actually has a plan now?

You are a strategist, right? So many tricks?

This is related to the company's future development prospects! If the urgent need is really solved, there's no harm in giving him a promotion!

"Say it." Qin Xiong said hurriedly with some expectation.

The entire conference room also became quiet.

Qian Cheng stood up and spoke slowly and slowly.

"Since adding the main server cannot effectively alleviate the pressure on the server, and we can't find the specific reason, then we can simply use our own money to help the number one player upgrade this secondary server to the main server?"

That’s it for today.

I have only slept for a few hours in the past two days, just to watch the game and squeeze in time for coding.

As a result, watching this game today made my blood pressure rise, and I really couldn’t spare the energy to write more content.

This is the update for today. There will be no competition tomorrow, so I will write more tomorrow.
