Chapter 40 0039 [Players finally overwhelmed the server]

imperial capital.

Fu Guoqiang finished his dinner in a hurry, reminded his son to remember to do his homework, and slipped away to the study to wait for the game to open.

His wife, a civil servant, had a gloomy face. After watching the news broadcast, she rushed to the study and said, "Fu Guoqiang, look at you. You're already a grown man, and you spend all day huddled up with your family playing games on the computer. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Just play with it for a while, it won't delay anything." Fu Guoqiang said while contacting his friends on QQ.

"It's your fault if you die in there!"

"Oh!"

The door was slammed shut.

Fu Guoqiang curled his lips, not wanting to argue with his wife. After a moment's thought, he went out to ask the nanny to make him some tea. He wanted to spend the night with his brothers.

Back in front of the computer, Fu Guoqiang continued chatting on QQ:

"Who hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yongzi has something urgent to do and can't come tonight."

"This son of a bitch is just like a lazy donkey pulling a millstone and pooping a lot."

"I downloaded the game and just tried to log in. I can't enter the game, but I can create a character. This crappy private server actually has five zones."

"Five districts right from the start?"

"Each district can only admit 1,000 people. Go to the forum and read the posts."

"I'll go take a look."

……

Tao Chenggang rented another house downstairs from the game studio.

There was no time for decoration, and there were even the owner's bed, table, benches and wardrobe inside.

This is the combat command center of "Legend of the Abyss"!
The computer configuration is quite good, and each one was assembled by Feng Tao and his apprentices.

"How to do?"

Looking at the ever-increasing number of game downloads, Tao Chenggang's forehead began to sweat.

Although it has less than 1500 downloads, the growth rate is too fast.

"Another vaccination."

Chen Guiliang personally sat down at the computer and, using the account "I" in the promotional article, updated the "Private Server Development Log" one last time:
"Thank you for your support, brothers and sisters. Yijian Xilai and I have boldly adopted the many valuable suggestions you have put forward. 'Abyss Private Server' is the child of all of us. We have watched it grow from nothing to something, and it will be born tonight. I hope it will thrive..."

"The server we rented can accommodate 5000 people online simultaneously. Haha, with such a large server capacity, it must be more than enough. I'm so awesome!"

Tao Chenggang read the post and said, "That's it?"

Chen Guiliang stood up and said, "Brother Yang, have your friends reply. Have 70% of the replies mock the others, saying that 5000 people online simultaneously is a fantasy. The remaining 30% will respond to the 70%."

"What's the meaning?" Xie Yang asked curiously.

Chen Guiliang said: "It's meaningless if there are spare servers, but if the servers are full, there will be follow-up actions."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yuhui swallowed his saliva and said, "The total downloads from several major game forums have exceeded 1600. It's increasing so fast!"

Chen Guiliang said, "It's only 7:40 now, and office workers in big cities have just returned home. If their internet speed is slow, the download probably hasn't finished yet. Who knows how many people are downloading right now."

"This doesn't make sense. Even if the promotion is successful, it's impossible for the number of people online to exceed 5000, right?" Tao Chenggang said.

Chen Guiliang couldn't figure it out either.

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!"

Someone outside was banging on the door, shouting anxiously, "Something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

Xie Yang was very perceptive and rushed to open the door.

The studio manager assigned by Yang Yuhui stood at the door and said quickly, "Many players in "Legend of Mir 2" have agreed to play on the private server together!"

"Tell me the situation clearly. When did it start?" Chen Guiliang asked hurriedly.

The man said, "When we were farming gold in the game, we noticed some people talking about private servers a few days ago. There were also people shouting in the public chat, cursing Shanda and calling for people to play "Legend of the Abyss". I guess many players have already made arrangements, but they just chatted privately and didn't shout it out to the public. After 7:30 tonight, the safe zones of all the Legend of Mir servers will be filled with people shouting to play private servers!"

Chen Guiliang and Tao Chenggang looked at each other and understood what had gone wrong.

Even though "Legend" has lost a lot of players, it still maintains hundreds of thousands of people online, and it may even take first place in the most popular game selection next year.

However, the game hasn't been updated for half a year, and most players have already grown tired of it.

They were filled with resentment and anger towards Shanda, but were reluctant to leave, so they stayed in the game.

Chen Guiliang's "Legendary Refugee Post" resonated with a large number of legitimate gamers. As if finding an outlet for their resentment and anger, they flocked to the game forums to read the posts.

Many people only read the posts without replying, but quietly invite their friends to play on private servers.

Their behavior is easy to understand: first, they miss the past; second, they try out new things in private servers; third, they deliberately take revenge on Shanda; and fourth, they join in the fun and follow the trend.

There are especially many revenge-related grand events.

A large number of people are unwilling to pay to play the dungeon, and some even leave after experiencing it for 10 to 20 minutes.

But the influx of massive players will inevitably cause the server to crash!

Without the intervention of Shanda's hackers, enthusiastic netizens can make "Legend of the Abyss" crash.

Yang Yuhui stood up suddenly, turned around and said to the crowd, "More than ten network administrators have added me on QQ in a row, saying that they are legitimate Legend players in their internet cafes and want to know if our private servers are installed on the computers in the internet cafes. These network administrators want to cooperate with us and want to know what the recharge commission is."

"The maximum should not exceed 20%, and we should try to keep it as low as possible."

Tao Chenggang picked up the phone and walked towards the corridor: "I'll make a call to see if I can rent a server urgently."

Chen Guiliang was at a loss for words. He had made games in his previous life, and he never expected that there would be a day when he would be afraid of having too many players.

……

Fu Guoqiang has taken out his bank card and opened the online banking page.

As long as this private server is fun, he will spend a lot of money to support it.

Mr. Jing is not short of money!
Moreover, "Yijian Xilai" posted that there was an alternative way to recharge, which made Fu Guoqiang very curious and full of expectations.

"Go, go, go, time's up, everyone go to zone one!"

Fu Guoqiang types quickly on QQ.

After logging into the game, Fu Guoqiang switched to the QQ interface: "I was born in Ginkgo Village. You guys report your location."

The six legendary old brothers told each other their coordinates and agreed to meet somewhere.

The Novice Village was bustling with activity. Players, swarming with naked players, were running around. Their first priority wasn't to kill monsters or level up, but to chat on the public screen.

"Haha, I'm on a private server. Damn Shanda!"

"Chen xx, I fuck your mother!"

"As long as Shanda doesn't update, I won't play the official version."

"What the hell is this update? I've been waiting for more than half a year."

"Are there any veteran players of Lieyan? Come over and team up!"

"Looking for MM, are there any girls?"

"..."

Fu Guoqiang laughed as he looked at the chat box. This was such a great atmosphere.

He operated the Warrior, first formed a team with the brothers from Ginkgo Village, and then set off to kill monsters along the way.

The upgrade speed of this private server is about five times that of the official Legend.

"Fuck, this cat with a spiked rake is so fierce!"

"It must be a mutant infected by the power of the void."

"Fuck him, fuck him!"

"Fuck, I'm dead."

"Hahaha, just like when I first played Legend, I was actually killed by the Rake Cat."

"..."

When Fu Guoqiang saw his old friend being killed by the monster, he immediately laughed and typed.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

“It exploded, it exploded!”

"It's a big explosion."

"I picked up the Fireball Technique."

"Holy crap! I picked up an 'Abyss Iron Bracelet'. Its stats are insane. Attack 3, Magic 2, Dao 2, Accuracy 2."

The friend had already put on the bracelet. Fu Guoqiang clicked to check it out and found that it indeed had abnormal properties and was emitting a faint bloody light.

Fu Guoqiang was extremely excited and typed, "Level up while looking for Abyssal mutants. Be careful not to get robbed, there are a lot of people playing this private server."

The brothers upgraded quickly, and after an unknown amount of time, Fu Guoqiang felt that the game had become laggy.

But it's still playable.

The wild corpse king in the mining area suddenly exploded, and a brother shouted: "I picked up an 'Abyss Map Teleport Scroll'!"

"What's going on?" Everyone became excited.

The man kept clicking on the transaction and asked his brothers to look at the properties.

Fu Guoqiang also saw it quickly——

Abyssal Map Teleport Scroll: Mysterious forces are invading the Marfa continent. Void projections have formed in the Abyssal rifts in some key areas. Ask the Veteran for details.

This is the copy ticket!
The mutant monsters and BOSSes in ordinary maps have an extremely low probability of popping up, leaving a way out for free players.

There is another way out.

"Big news! I just went to the bathroom and came back to the forum and saw a hot post."

"what news?"

"Do you remember the Blessing Necklace quest? Completing it doesn't give you gold or equipment, but instead gives you an Abyss Map teleportation scroll. Someone (a troll) stumbled upon this quest by accident. Each person can only complete this quest once a day!"

In other words, free players can get a free dungeon ticket every day by completing tasks.

In this way, everyone can experience the dungeon, freeloaders will not be so resentful, and it can also induce freeloaders to recharge.

"I'll go find the veteran and see what this teleportation scroll is for."

Fu Guoqiang ran all the way and found the nearest veteran to talk to.

The veteran said: "Dear warrior, the power of the abyss is invading. Are you ready for the adventure? Every abyss map has powerful monsters and rich loot... Remember, don't go in alone!"

Fu Guoqiang glanced at the transmission link and found that the maps with BOSS all had corresponding abyss copies.

The lowest level Abyss Wo Ma Temple can be entered with just one ticket.

More advanced abyss maps require two, three, four... tickets.

Moreover, going in alone is tantamount to committing suicide. You must form a team to fight the BOSS together, and then everyone must contribute a ticket.

The veteran also provided several email addresses and QQ numbers.

No need to ask, it is definitely used for contact recharge.

Nowadays, you don’t need to ask for permission to add friends on QQ.

Fu Guoqiang randomly added someone on QQ and asked, "How much is an Abyss Teleportation Scroll?"

The other party replied: "5 yuan. If you top up 50 yuan at a time, you can get 12 Abyss Transmission Scrolls. Can you give me a few, brother?"

Fu Guoqiang found it very interesting. He laughed and typed, "Send me your account number. I'll top up 500 yuan first to try it out."

"Okay, please send me your game ID. After confirming the top-up has been received, I will issue you a transfer voucher."

The first deal for "Legend of the Abyss" was thus concluded.

Fu Guoqiang looked at the Abyss Map Transfer Scroll in the package and called out in the team chat: "Everyone come to the veteran, let's go play the Abyss Map together!"

"Damn, I got stuck right after entering the city and couldn't run anymore."

"Brother Qiang, this game is unplayable."

"It's so laggy. I'm going to go to the forum and curse at everyone for using this crappy private server!"

"Haha, I, a Taoist priest, can also move instantly. I was so stuck that I didn't even know where I was."

"I'm doing the moonwalk. I'm Michael Jackson."

"..."

There are too many players, and the server in area 1 finally crashed!
