Su Hao looked at the dazzling computing power monitoring panel on the monitor with a suspicious expression.

"I see these rapidly growing sandbox ecosystems on the screen, with cluster computations that are extremely CPU and GPU memory consuming."

It's definitely not something that the average player's pitiful graphics card can handle.

So, in the next stage, how do we let people experience the full version?

"Of course it can't withstand the load, so the full version must be played online on a server!"

I've tested the load-bearing limit over the past few days.

With the pitiful computing power of those crappy servers we rented in our lab's computer room,

At full capacity, it can only support a maximum of 30 online players simultaneously for the full version of the game.

Root grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Therefore, our strategy is to lock the passageway if there are more than 30 people."

Display a queue countdown screen for everyone outside!

Want to play the full version with an amazing, uncensored experience and NPCs who are as intelligent as real people?

Okay! Then go to the queue hall, stare intently at the numbers on the screen, and patiently wait it out!

Su Hao raised an eyebrow in slight surprise upon hearing the proposal.

He took a second look at the three men in front of him who were on the verge of sudden death.

It's clear these guys weren't just randomly brainstorming; they'd been frantically coding in between tasks.

They have planned a mature, meticulous, and even insightful commercial promotion strategy.

"You've got something special."

Su Hao followed their unethical line of reasoning.

"First, players are given a stripped-down single-player version, and just when they are enjoying it to the point of being amazed, it suddenly stops."

Then I was just thinking of clicking into the full online version to have some fun and witness the real apocalyptic spectacle.

Good grief, a ridiculously long queue has come crashing down on us...

At this moment, the three of them became very excited and started chiming in with their own words.

"Haha, yes, that's the idea."

This huge gap between being able to see it but not be able to eat it will definitely drive those hardcore gamers crazy, keeping them tossing and turning in bed all night!

"That's right, extreme scarcity marketing."

Add to that the mystique and exclusivity of being a closed beta tester, where access is extremely difficult to obtain, and the level of prestige instantly skyrockets!

"When that time comes, it will definitely cause a bloodbath on Reddit and other major forums!"

While cursing the "most awful potato server in history" and "a crappy studio that can't afford broadband,"

On the one hand, they have to admit that this is a "masterpiece" and they flaunt their queue numbers everywhere.

"Once the hype builds up, won't we take off?"

As the three of them talked, they exchanged glances.

Then, with terrifying dark circles under their eyes that were even uglier than Sadako's, they all revealed extremely unrestrained and evil smiles in the garbage-filled room.

Although at this moment his appearance was completely gone, he looked like a wild man.

But this kind of top-tier code, created with half a life and at the peak of one's mental strength,

And the sense of accomplishment from seeing it about to shock the world is enough to completely wash away all the fatigue in your bones!

However, just as the atmosphere reached its climax...

"But seriously... just what if, I mean just what if..."

Our game was released, and we couldn't even fill the 30 beta test slots...

If we don't even need to queue, then our scarcity marketing strategy is just ridiculous...

"Shut your cursed mouth! At this crucial moment, you can only think positively!"

I'm also terrified of my hard-earned creation flopping! Don't mess with my mindset!

Cyber ​​Fox was startled and quickly and sternly interrupted Root's spellcasting animation, fearing that this guy would ruin everyone's good luck.

"Broaden your perspective! Everyone, please broaden your perspective!"

What if our masterpiece really becomes an instant hit?

We must have confidence! The queue in the hall will soon be packed with thousands, even tens of thousands of people!

When the hype explodes, hot money from Silicon Valley venture capital firms and investment from Wall Street will shower us with cash like snowflakes!

Wouldn't we all be financially independent by now, living in villas by the sea?

Entropy tilted his head back and began frantically flooding his sleep-deprived brain with dopamine-laden fantasies.

Root also got excited.

"Thanks for your kind words! If we can really incubate a unicorn company valued at several hundred million with this thing,"

"So, in the North American gaming community, we're pretty well-known figures, right?"

"I'm not as delusional as you two are."

Cyber ​​Fox, being relatively rational, rubbed his face.

"As long as the data from the first round of internal testing is acceptable and shows potential."

"I'd be perfectly content if there were investors willing to take over and provide enough server funding to support the initial launch and promotion."

Listening to their musings, Su Hao remained silent.

His peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the whiteboard on the wall.

At the very bottom of that list marked with red crosses.

There are still many core logical conflicts and bugs marked with skulls that have not been crossed out.

"Alright, you're all near-billionaires."

Su Hao withdrew his gaze and clapped his hands.

"You'd better hurry back to your dorm, take a shower, and get some sleep. If you keep going like this, I think you'll turn into zombies in the game."

The remaining core logic sorting and cleanup work will all be handled by me.

Looking at these reckless beasts in front of him, Su Hao was genuinely impressed.

God knows how many consecutive all-nighters they worked in that smelly studio.

The eyes of these three people were already bloodshot, so red that they could almost drip blood!

"Hey guys, do you really look like Afghan refugees now?"

"To be honest, brother, the three of us still want to hold on a little longer while you're gone."

"I'll beat this system in one go, and I'll give you a surprise..."

"As a result, the mess is still not cleaned up, and in the end, you, the chief architect, have to personally step in."

"They're here to clean up our messes, we newbies, it's kind of embarrassing."

Su Hao rolled his eyes, too lazy to listen to their banter.

They coaxed and kicked them like ducks, forcibly herding these three "human biological weapons" who could die suddenly in the lab at any moment back to their dormitory.

With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, and the world finally became quiet.

Then, Su Hao turned around and sat back down at his workstation.

"Let's start by eliminating the underlying logical deadlock."

Snapped.

As soon as I switched to the Debug console, a barrage of glaring red alert codes flooded the screen like a waterfall.

Faced with code that would make any ordinary programmer nervous, Su Hao remained unfazed.

He interlaced his fingers and stretched the knuckles in the opposite direction, then his fingertips suddenly hovered over the keyboard.

Da da da da da—

The keyboard was struck with a deafening roar, like a machine gun firing!

On the wall behind Su Hao.

On that electronic screen, the cold red timer continued its relentless ticking.

【42:02:59】

There are less than 48 hours left before this program reaches its critical point.

The sound of the keyboard striking the keys echoed like a bugle call in the silent room.

Remove redundancy!

Underlying restructuring!

Force compilation!

Extreme stress test!

Every second, a massive stream of data flows through your fingertips.

The underlying behavioral logic tree of NPCs is peeled off and overwritten layer by layer at the code level.

Those were the low-level bugs that tormented three top programmers for days and nights, leaving them scratching their heads in frustration.

Under his command, they were as fragile as paper, cut off and strangled one by one!

Time flies.

When the three guys finally escaped the biohazard state, took a shower, and slept like madmen returned here...

To their horror, they discovered that Su Hao had single-handedly eliminated all the bugs in a very short time!

The entire backend panel was flashing an intense green light, signifying perfect operation!

Two days later, at 9:00 AM.

A low-key post quietly appeared on MIT's internal forums and various gaming subreddits on Reddit.
