At the beginning of August, when all the affairs were ready, Li Xiaoming and Chen Wu could be said to be poor and white.

It cost them a full 200,000 to burn the discs, and it was only enough for 40,000 copies. There is no way to solve the serious shortage of discs in a short period of time, only to see the feedback from all aspects after the game is launched.

In addition, at a price of 50 yuan per person per day, they invited many part-time college students to go to various colleges and universities and Internet cafes to distribute their printed leaflets, and the leaflets and labor removed them for a full 100,000 yuan.

Aside from the 1 million expenses provided by Chen's father, as well as monthly employee salaries, water and electricity bills, etc., if the game is not popular within the time determined to be launched, Li Xiaoming and them will be equivalent to returning to the pre-liberation period.

To say that they are not worried that it is fake after all, there is a big difference between the success of the future and what they are doing now, and the financial strength is not at the same level.

If others are using cannons to fight mosquitoes, his brothers are now more like flies and elephants. If something happens, it's the end of the bones.

At 11:30 p.m. on August 7th, it was only half an hour before the official launch of the game at 0:00 on August 8th.

The lights in Longtu are still bright, and all employees have consciously and voluntarily stayed, intending to witness the future of the company whether it is life or death.

"Brother Zhang, are you sure that there is no problem with the servers being online at the same time?" Li Xiaoming was still not very relieved.

"Don't worry, the previous stress test reached 200,000 people online at the same time, and the servers have not yet reached the limit, so it shouldn't be a big problem tonight. ”

"Alas, the main reason is that there is no way to count the installed capacity of the client, and now you can only know the result by looking at the number of registered accounts and the number of people who are waiting online. Chen Wu sighed and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, since Brother Zhang said that there is no problem, then we must have confidence. 40,000 CDs have all been given away, and we don't know the sales of point cards at present, but there is no way, our current volume, and the willingness of other publishing houses to give us monthly payments is already very face-saving. ”

"Also, come and take a look at the data background, now the registered account has been opened, and how many registrations are there at present. ”

Chen Wu said as he clicked on the data background and began to check the data indicators.

"Heh, this is a big surprise, the number of account registrations has exceeded 4,000, and it should be more when the service is officially launched. ”

"Oh, more than four thousand? Come and see me. Li Xiaoming said, put his head in front of Chen Wu's computer screen, took the mouse in his hand, clicked to the time statistics column, looked at it carefully, and said: "Yes, from the opening of registration at 10 o'clock just now to the present, this curve has been rising, and there should be a few more explosive periods in the future." ”

A group of people chatted, relieved each other's uneasiness, and silently waited for the arrival of 0 o'clock.

August 8, 00:00.

The server was opened on time, and the first group of servers in the first area was called: "Heavenly Oracle".

The first player registers the game character and logs in to the game, the time is 0:00:22, the IP is from the magic capital, and the name is LLLLLLLLLL.

Players continued to flock to each other and start their respective Legends careers.

At 0:03:12, the number of people online at the same time exceeded 100. The first player to reach level 3 is born.

At 0:09:33, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 500, and the number of registered accounts ushered in the first peak period, with the number of registered accounts reaching 500 per minute.

At 0:17:52, the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 1,000, and the number of registered accounts exceeded 10,000.

At 0:29:38, the number of people carried by the single-zone server reached the upper limit of 2,000, and the number of registered accounts exceeded the 20,000 mark.

At 0:31:07, the first point card was successfully recharged, and the first player to reach level 8 was born.

0:59:59, in the last second of the first hour of the game's operation, the first district and two servers were full, and three more servers were urgently opened, which was called: "Zhu Xian". More than 100 point cards have been successfully recharged.

Everyone in the company high-fived and celebrated! The excitement was expressed on the faces of every employee.

At 1:38:17, the fourth and fifth servers in District 1 were opened one after another, named "Tianxia" and "Honghuang" respectively, and the number of registered users reached the 50,000 mark, and each server appeared to queue up to enter the game, and the point card recharge successfully exceeded 1,000.

"Everyone has worked hard, and tonight I guess everyone is so excited that they can't sleep, I decided to invite everyone to have a good meal!

"The boss is the most handsome!"

"Haha, I must slaughter the boss today!"

"Chen Wu, you take the artists Brother Ning and Brother Xiang out to buy barbecue for everyone, and then bring a few pieces of wine back. ”

"Okay, let's go, eat big brothers!" Chen Wu waved his hand when he heard this, and the two art buddies happily followed Chen Wu out of the company gate.

"While they go out to buy something, Brother Zhang, pay attention to the server situation at any time, there are up to 8 servers in one district, open all the remaining three, and then the in-game announcement tells everyone that you can go to the new area and divide the stream, otherwise it is easy for players to lose patience by waiting like this. Li Xiaoming commanded.

He knows very well that hunger marketing is not suitable for the current era, and only by fully meeting the needs of users can everyone better establish the company's image.

At the same time, several administrative ladies, personnel and finance ladies all rolled up their sleeves and patrolled around the game, collecting feedback from players and paying attention to whether there were any bugs.

"It's still good in this era, it's strange that such an entrepreneurial team can't do anything!" Li Xiaoming looked at everyone's energetic appearance and thought with relief.

"Xiao Li, hurry up, there is an abnormal data flow on the server. Brother Zhang suddenly shouted.

Li Xiaoming was startled, and hurriedly ran over to look at the real-time monitoring of the server in front of Zhang Li.

"The traffic suddenly went up 8000%, and it was suspected to be DDOS. Zhang Li's words were concise and to the point.

"Enable the offload server, block the IP, and divert traffic at the same time. ”

"Yes. ”

"How's the bandwidth?"

"It's not at the limit, it's still supportive. ”

"Okay, deal with the attack, I'll find out who's giving us eye medicine. ”

After Li Xiaoming finished speaking, he pulled open the stool of the computer next to Zhang Li, sat down, and began to track the source of the attack.

"Heh, this buddy is a cow, and you still have a stand-in server?" Within two minutes, Li Xiaoming found one of the attack nodes.

"Go on. ”

After bypassing this stand-in, Li Xiaoming found four more stand-ins one after another, but without exception, all the stand-in IPs came from overseas.

"The attack has been handled, but it is estimated that there are normal player IPs that have been blocked by mistake, how can we deal with it?" Brother Zhang finished the attack and turned his head to ask Li Xiaoming for instructions.

"Go to the official website forum and stay, and if you have a complaint, you will solve it. Sister Zheng, a few of you can help. ”

"Okay, listen to the little boss, let's go to the forum and have a look. ”

"Remember to put your customer service account on it. ”

"Got it. ”

With everyone's full cooperation, the matter passed without danger.

Chen Wu and the others have just returned to the company, and Li Xiaoming also has eyebrows here.

"Hehe, it's you. ”

The source of the attack came from the Southern Dynasties. When Li Xiaoming and his team began to apply for copyrights and various patents for more than a month, they heard some gossip that there was some noise on the side of the Southern Dynasty. Now it seems that this is not the case.

"What's wrong Xiao Ming?" Chen Wu and the others carried a large pile of skewers, carried four or five cases of beer, came in and put them away, Chen Wu heard Li Xiaoming's voice, so he turned his head and asked.

"Nan Chaoguo's side just messed with us, and the small problem was solved. ”

"Hehe, step by step, step by step, let's go first, let's let them vent. Chen Wu is very open-minded, and he has opened his life, so don't you let others feel uncomfortable?

"Don't ask my brother to vent, Brother Zhang, block all overseas IPs. ”

"It's a good move, once and for all. ”

After being busy for a while, everyone gathered around the skewers, one person took a large handful, each of them also carried a bottle of beer in their hands, Li Xiaoming looked around: "Come, thank you for your hard work and dedication over the past two months, and double pay when you pay your salary at the end of the month!" After saying this, he blew the beer clean with a mouthful.

"The little boss is magnificent!" all the employees heard the salary increase, and their eyes narrowed with joy, eating meat, drinking wine, a lot of wages, and such an achievement, the fulfillment of life is nothing more than that.

Everyone drank wine, bragged about it, ate tempting skewers, and looked at the crazy rising data from time to time, and everyone's hearts bloomed.

An instant hit, Long Xiang built far away, and Hongye Yongtu.

The first blooming flower is not necessarily the most dazzling one, but it must be the one that shows an era.
