Chapter 393 Server Suspension Update - Rescue the Server
June 2065, 6 Beijing time.
The "Rebellion of the Empire" plot ends.
The Jia Ma Empire completed the storyline first, followed by the Luo Yan Empire and the Mu Lan Empire.
As for the Izumo Empire, it's quite interesting.
Xiao Yixiang was only a six-star Douhuang at the beginning, so the Poison Sect was badly suppressed by the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect.
As a result, the players of the Izumo Empire worked together as one, and during the period when the plot was unfolding, they frantically handed over tasks, causing the Poison Sect's cultivation resources to skyrocket in a short period of time!
(The basic logic for players to collect low-level resources and help high-level NPCs improve their strength is: if one player brings back 1 Lingshi resources, then 100 players will bring back 100 million Lingshi resources. Then, the low-level resources can be converted into Lingshi, and then Lingshi can be used to buy high-level resources to achieve the purpose of cultivation improvement, because Lingshi is hard currency. Therefore, as long as the number is large enough, even if it is a Dou Zun, the player can help!)
The resources in Xiao Yixiang's hands are so abundant that they can never be used up.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yixian has a poisonous body, and her strength can be rapidly improved by just swallowing poison.
When Xiao Yixian reached the peak of Dou Huang, the Poison Sect began to stabilize its position. After breaking into Dou Zong, it even counterattacked the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.
However, because she was afraid of the Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect's supreme elder, Xie Bi Yan, Xiao Yixian did not act too radically.
The battle between the Izumo Empire, the Poison Sect and the Scorpion Sect will continue until version 2.1.
On June 6, the 26 version of Fights Break Sphere was successfully completed.
Tianyao officials will conduct a week of system maintenance and then launch version 2.1.
Inside Tianyao Company.
The chief producer and chief planner, Mr. Xiao Yan, came to the design department with a thick stack of bank cards in his hand and an unlit cigar in his mouth.
He raised his foot and kicked the door hard!
The recoil force was too great and the ground was too slippery, and Xiao Yan was thrown to the ground with a bang.
By chance, the 30-year-old Mediterranean "Lao Wang" from the design department opened the door:
"Eh? Boss Xiao, why are you lying on the ground?"
"You've blinded yourself from typing so much code, can't you see that I fell? Hurry up and help me up!"
After Lao Wang helped Xiao Yan up, Xiao Yan rubbed his buttocks which felt a little fissure:
"Go tell the finance department later that the cleaner who cleans this floor will get a bonus of 500 this month."
Lao Wang was surprised: "Ah? Why are they giving out bonuses all of a sudden?"
Xiao Yan: "Nonsense! The floor is so smooth when mopping, it's obvious that you didn't slack off, so of course I should give you a bonus as an encouragement!"
Lao Wang: "Boss Xiao is wise."
Xiao Yan smiled crookedly:
"Come on, follow me in to get the money!"
Xiao Yan straightened the collar of his suit, and Lao Wang very tactfully helped Xiao Yan open the door.
Walking into the R&D department, everyone is busy.
After all, the version is finished, and now it’s time to finish the work quickly.
Xiao Yan coughed twice in a serious manner.
No one paid attention.
Xiao Yan raised his voice:
"Cough cough!"
Still no one paid any attention.
There is no other way. The people in the R&D department either communicate with headphones or program directly while wearing virtual helmets.
Xiao Yan, who is it? I can’t see!
Even if you see it, pretend you don’t see it!
As an employee, no matter if you have something to do or not, you have to pretend that you are busy!
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's breath sank into his Dantian and he roared:
“Bonus time!”
Just four words were enough to make the communication staff take off their headphones and the staff wearing helmets press a button to force a shutdown.
Feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xiao Yan finally put on his defiant expression.
He unfolded two stacks of bank cards with both hands:
"You guys did a great job on this version. Line up, one for each of you! The password is six eights!"
There was dead silence in the R&D department.
Lao Wang on the side said hurriedly:
"What are you guys standing there for? Are you stupid from typing code? Clap your hands!"
It was only after Lao Wang reminded them that the people in the R&D department began to applaud.
But the smile on his face didn't seem very genuine.
Xiao Yan also noticed something was wrong and asked:
"I say, what's wrong with you all today? You all look so lifeless?"
A brave person said:
"Boss Xiao, we have already prepared the Guan-Bao friendship system for the next version, but it was stopped by Boss Ma."
What the people in the R&D department actually want most is to launch the Guan and Bao system.
They know that all players are looking forward to this.
As long as the function is launched, Tianyao will be the undisputed world's number one technology company from now on!
That’s right! It’s not the No.1 gaming company, it’s the No.1 technology company!
You know, virtual immersion technology has been developed for many years, and people no longer believe the data listed by major technology companies at their annual press conferences.
What ninety-nine percent, what immersive.
You have to experience it yourself to know!
Every sensory perception of virtual immersion requires a lot of manpower and resources to conquer.
Currently, other companies that focus on virtual immersion technology can only increase the immersion level to 98% at best.
Tianyao is at least ten years ahead of other companies, with an immersion level of 99%.
But in many cases, users cannot tell the difference between 98% and 99%.
This gap is reflected in some perhaps insignificant details.
For example, the types of smells that can be distinguished by the sense of smell.
For example, when the hair is lightly touched, the scalp will have corresponding sensory feedback.
But this does not make the majority of users fully trust Tianyao Company.
After all, Tianyao Company’s high-end equipment has always been sold at very high prices.
How can Tianyao Company leverage its 1% lead to defeat other immersive technology companies in one fell swoop and establish Tianyao Company's dynasty?
In addition to the 1:5 time delay, Tianyao Company's top management decided to invest a large amount of money in the research and development of "Guan and Bao's Friendship" seven years ago.
Because when people engage in this special sport, their various senses become extremely sensitive.
When all the senses produce effects at the same time in a short period of time, the 1% difference will obviously affect the actual overall experience!
To this end, Tianyao Company even secretly invited a thousand people to conduct experiments.
These one thousand people will experience it from one top-level virtual warehouse with 98% and one with 99% immersion respectively.
Of course, these people will not know in advance which one will provide a higher level of immersion.
Everyone will have a round of experience every day for half a month. The conclusion is that when the staff asked which of the two virtual warehouses was more enjoyable, they all chose Tianyao's 99% immersion device without exception!
Just relying on basic human judgment, you can know which equipment is more comfortable.
Does this need any further explanation?
Unexpectedly, the obstacle that prevented Tianyao Company from becoming the world's number one was actually version T0! (Note: In 2065, version T0 has been upgraded again, including but not limited to "male and female fists", outstanding graduates of the gentleman and socialite cram school, "CPU master", and the card code bug "give me half" and other special people who are close to their dreams and immersed in fantasy without seeing the truth.)
If this system is launched, will version T0 still have a place to stand?
Like cast iron, the punch, which was the product of eighty years of practice, made the R&D personnel of Tianyao Company extremely frustrated.
They have been working hard for seven years, and they are about to become the most successful immersive technology developers in the world.
They can even imagine that after the implementation, those users will cheer for them online and praise them for being "worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
And now.
Xiao Yan said casually:
"I thought it was something else. Mr. Ma was right to stop you. We are still short of the finishing touch. If I am not wrong, the next version of the national server will definitely be able to implement it!"
Lao Wang asked weakly:
"Boss Xiao, you didn't lie to us. I heard that the resistance over there is as strong as a city wall and we can't break through."
Xiao Yan smiled sinisterly:
"We are indeed having a hard time getting through, but other countries have already broken through!"
Lao Wang was dumbfounded:
"Ah? Boss Xiao, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Xiao Yan: "You will understand in a few days. There will be absolutely no holidays in the short term in the Operations Department. You are lucky and can still take a few days off. Hurry up and come to me to get the money and then go eat, drink and have fun!"
On the third day of the 2.0 version maintenance, a piece of news topped the hot searches!
This hot search is not a hot topic discussion on the Doupo Forum.
Instead, all Chinese online channels have topped the same trending search:
《Tianyao Company's Guan and Bao friendship system will be implemented in 'Fights Break Sphere 2.1'!》
This title is definitely a clickbait.
Because the actual content of the hot search is:
Tianyao Company announced that in the Fights Break Sphere 2.1 version, the game servers in countries including Russia, South Korea, the United States, Britain, France, and Germany will implement the Guan and Bao friendship system!
The national server is not among the above.
Tianyao Company really spent a lot of money to buy hot searches for publicity this time. No one can suppress this storm!
Now even seventy-year-old grandfathers know that China’s most powerful technology companies and their most advanced technologies cannot be implemented in China!
As soon as the news came out, players on the domestic server wailed everywhere.
Due to time differences and network issues, servers in different countries cannot be connected.
So the servers in different countries are separate.
In order to seize the market, Tianyao Company hired more than 300 first-class online writers. Based on the world view of "Fighting Continent", they specially customized plots for players from various countries that are in line with the culture and ideas of that country.
At the beginning, many players from other countries opposed it.
Because of this approach, the "Fights Break Sphere Original Story" will become exclusive to domestic players.
Many players from other countries like "Queen Medusa" very much.
But they don't have it on their servers!
Because the storyline has been completely rewritten, it is naturally not the NPC in the original work.
But now, as long as the 2.1 version is "implemented" on their own servers, the players no longer have any complaints against Tianyao Company.
The “Doupo International Forum” is already in chaos.
Players who have not implemented the game on the server are loudly fighting the epidemic.
Those who have implemented it have already started to show off on the forums, or even be sarcastic about it.
Tianyao Company has specially opened a discussion section on the "Friendship between Guan and Bao".
Through real-time translation, players from all over the world gather together:
ID Chris (USA): Praise Tianyao, long live freedom!
ID Apuhui (India): Why? We are India, the world's most populous country. Tianyao Company, don't you want to make money? Come to us to install pipelines! Install pipelines!
ID Alexandrov (Russian): Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! When I enter the game in a few days, I will enter the game!
ID Salman (Saudi Arabia): Take the money! All my money, take it! Doupo, start!
ID Kenichi Abe (South Korea): Yo, it’s so fun to enter the game and work!
ID Lichtenstein (Germany): Wow! I actually saw the name of an island country in the history textbook! Why? Are there still people on the island?
ID Jiang Daoli (Huaxia): @Lichtenstein, my friend, after the tsunami in 2035, the island was soaked with water and the environment became extremely harsh. It was difficult for humans to survive and most of the islanders died. However, there were still a very small number of wealthy people who successfully left the island and became immigrants in other areas. Many of them immigrated to South Korea. They paid a lot of taxes to the local area and were able to keep their previous names.
ID Lichtenstein (Debang): @Jiang Daoli, I see. Thank you for your popular science. Friends from China, I really sympathize with you. Tianyao is a great company. Oh! This system must be great, but you can't experience this technology.
ID Kenichi Abe (South Korea): @Jiang Daoli, eight XXX! This is the Doupo International Forum, why are you talking about history? Can't you experience the system and can only come here to find a sense of existence?
ID Jack (US): Oh! I totally don’t understand what China is doing. Why doesn’t China use such a great scientific research result? Unbelievable!
ID Hussein (Pakistan): I really sympathize with our brothers in China. We in Pakistan have implemented it. You are much more developed than us. Your economic consumption capacity is dozens of times that of ours, but you have no way to consume.
Xiao Yan, who used the virtual warehouse and read the popular replies on the forum, encouraged the employees:
"You're setting a good pace. Keep it up! Create another trending search tomorrow, saying that many Chinese players have started to apply to our company to transfer their data to servers in other countries! When that time comes, all the spending by Chinese players in the game will be shared by the agent operators of servers in other countries!"
The operators who were in charge of setting the pace couldn't help but praise:
"Boss Xiao, you are so good at setting the pace! There is really hope now!"
Xiao Yan's mouth curled up:
"Version T0? One punch with eighty years of skill? What a joke! This punch of mine uses the combined skills of players from all over the world. How can they block it? The next version must be implemented in the Chinese server!"
"Which of the things I boasted about at the press conference didn't come true?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan received a message from President Ma Rulong:
"Well done, the relevant departments have already contacted me!"
Xiao Yan laughed wildly:
"Jiejiejiejiejie"
Reasons for delayed updates:
The content has been 404-ed, and the version you see has been modified.
In addition, as a transition, this chapter modifies the previous setting of "one server shared by the world".
Originally, Sky was planning to write about a global war between players.
But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be much to write about this global player war other than "war".
There is no shortage of big battles in the later stages of this book.
There have been enough conflicts between the major forces in Zhongzhou.
It doesn’t seem necessary to write more, as there are many plots, but there will be a lot of “overlap” in the content.
So the setting of "the world shares one Douqi continent" was changed.
All related plots were cut.
Just focus on writing for the Chinese server, and let players on other servers do whatever they want.
Anyway, with this setting, the NPCs in the original story will be exclusive to the Chinese server.
There won’t be N servers and N Yafeis.
The logic of this setting may not be so absolutely tenable.
But I think that having "uniqueness" will definitely be more in line with the reading preferences of all the Doudi Lords.
So let's put the logic aside for a bit and serve the Doudi masters first.
