Chapter 139: Chaotic City Battle

At eight o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited "Battle of 10,000 People" finally began, and the rulers of the three cities gave the order to all members of the guild to attack. The target is the "weakest guild" unanimously identified by the head of the guild after discussion.

On the screen, you can clearly see the black crowd attacking the hostile city, and the players of the three cities meet unexpectedly on the way, without asking or greeting, and the players spontaneously start the war directly.

Three cities, three guilds, the same as the three kingdoms - checks and balances, any one dominance will pose a threat to the others. However, it is clear that this first "city war" was not as orderly as it should be. Originally, the haode strategy was formulated, but it was completely forgotten by the player in the battle. Players cut when they see someone, and they don't know which guild they are, as long as it's not their own side, it's a slash when they go up.

If something happens to break out, it will be an even more tragic fight. The entire battlefield seems to be like a meat grinder, constantly devouring the player's life, dying, coming and dying, and no one is willing to leave the battlefield. In particular, witnessing the various equipment on the ground is even more eye-catching. But in Shijie, which has no plug-ins, it is in vain to want to pick up the equipment that you have dropped or that of other players in the case of thunder and hellfire in the sky. Even, the equipment that just burst out hasn't been picked up, and the new equipment on the body has been burst out again.

Blood, madness, and interests are maximized at this moment. Stimulated by the equipment everywhere, everyone was red-eyed. Even if the guild leader shouted in the channel, not a single player listened. The members of the Tripartite Guild are in the middle of the map and start the first "Shijie War" in the history of "Legends".

The equipment everywhere attracted not only the three-way fighting guilds, but also the players who were originally watching the excitement from the sidelines were tempted to red-eyed. With the mentality that if you can't die, you will earn it, these players who watched the excitement went to the warehouse to strip off their clothes, and threw themselves into the chaotic battlefield with a body of medicine, just to pick up even one piece of equipment.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

The addition of this even larger group of "Light Clans" has made the already chaotic battlefield even more chaotic. Nearly 10,000 players are crowded in this small area, and they are simply squeezed and exhausted. Often before he could react, he went to see Hades with a white light in the sword light and sword shadows around him.

As for the previously formulated attack on the opponent's city, Jihua, who occupied the city, was all in vain at the moment, and the three cities were deserted, and there was no hostile city player who came to attack, which was in stark contrast to the chaotic and bloody battlefield in the middle of the map.

Witnessing the cries for help of players fighting on the battlefield on the guild channel, as well as the requests of friends who lost their equipment and wanted to pick them up, the players defending the city were also moved. No one wants to spend the night here doing nothing. Although the guild boss is not allowed to leave, the current guild system is not binding, and everyone joins the guild for the sake of profit and knowing friends, and at this moment, it is natural that they will also abandon the guild for the sake of interests and friends.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

With the first player leaving secretly, there is the departure of the second player. In the blink of an eye, the three cities were almost hollowed out, and except for a few main guild leaders, the three cities were empty. If there is a team of enemy players attacking the city at this time, even if there are only more than 10 players with levels and equipment above the level, I am afraid that the city will change its owner ridiculously easily.

Unfortunately, all players are tempted by the battlefield and equipment, leaving these guild leaders helpless. In the end, they had no choice but to bury their heads in the battlefield like other players. After all, it's all about playing games, not sitting here all night. Knowing that in the middle of the map, the fight is in full swing, and the birds on his side can't see a single one, and no one wants to stay here. What's more, even if the city is taken away, it will be recaptured at that time.

Most of the 384 servers in the 48 districts of "Legend" staged this funny scene, and the first "city battle" was undoubtedly just a melee that swept the entire "Legend". Although there are occasionally a few server guilds that are well organized to capture the opponent's city, they are quickly lost under the counterattack of the opposing players returning to the city one after another and the counterattack of their lives.

The War of the Three Kingdoms, two against one, can win no matter what. No matter how passionate the player is, no matter how irrational he is, he knows when to join forces. The end result was that it started and ended with a melee, and no one was able to please anyone.

The game was chaotic, and outside the game, Lin Feng and others were nervously watching the operation of the software called "cloud computing" developed by Cohen.

"Error 2 times!"

"Error 5 times!"

In the end, when the three-hour "city war" ended, the software called "cloud computing" reported a total of 13 errors, and in the "city war" of 384 servers in 48 districts, only 13 data errors were reported, and the results were extremely satisfactory. It must be known that in this "City War" system, Lin Feng did not add any additional server and network bandwidth resources, and completely used the "cloud computing" software developed by Cohen, using the resources of all players for asynchronous parallel processing, which achieved remarkable results, and the software obviously has a lot of room for improvement.

"Mr. Wu, how many people are online tonight?" Lin Feng asked.

"The number of online users exceeded the previous high number of online users of "Legend", reaching more than 1.3 million. Wu Zhaopu said excitedly.

The crowd cheered. This system of "urban warfare" was clearly a great success.

"Cohen, how is it?, can the software be upgraded?" Lin Feng asked Cohen.

"Rest assured, with tonight's data, I believe it will be better next time. Cohen is also extremely proud of the results of tonight's "cloud computing" software, which will usher in a new era of the Internet era once this software is mature.

"By the way, how many people are online on each server?" Lin Feng suddenly asked.

"The highest server has more than 8,000 online people. Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng frowned when he heard this. This "cloud-based" software is mainly in preparation for the upcoming launch of Counter-Strike Online in Asia, where there will be only one zone and players from all over Asia will play in the same zone. At that time, the data throughput will be ten times or even a hundred times that of the current one, and it seems that "cloud computing" will have to undergo a more rigorous test.

Lin Feng immediately convened a meeting to discuss the possibility of merging the zone.

The benefits of the merger zone are obvious, if the "cloud computing" can run maturely and stably, then the server resources can be more cost and expense savings, and the number of players on a server can also bring more popularity and gameplay. But the trouble is that there are only 3 cities on a server now, and once the districts are merged, there will definitely be guilds that will lose the cities they occupy. This is a tricky question.

In the end, the outcome of the discussion is that the merger zone must be carried out. Of course, in order to consider the acceptance of players, the meeting decided to launch a player voting system on each server, and players will vote to decide whether to merge or not. Merge the current 8 servers in one zone into 4 servers, and as long as the player votes for more than 70%, the zone will be merged.

However, in response to this chaotic "city war", Lin Feng also discovered the fatal problem of "Legend", the so-called guild is too non-binding for players, which directly led to the "city war" advocated by Lin Feng, which eventually became a ridiculous melee of 10,000 people. In this regard, we must learn from "Warcraft Shijie" and learn from the guild system inside.

There is another point, that is, in the "city war", it is necessary to ban the use of the city scroll, reduce the advantage of the defender, and increase the tacticality of the "city war", otherwise it will be like a plate of loose sand. This will also make it more engaging for players.

At this time, when Lin Feng and others were nervously discussing the problems exposed by the "City War" of "Legend", some players were pleased to find that a forum posted a post that tower defense games could easily pass 100 rounds. This post says that with a software, the game data can be easily modified, so that players can easily break through hundreds of rounds, or even thousands of rounds.

To the frustration of these players, though, the software costs money. However, the price is not expensive, only 15 yuan.

After the first player bought the software as a guinea pig with the psychology of being fooled, he was pleased to find that the data in the game could really be modified using this software, and the first challenge easily reached 230 rounds, breaking the record. The point card reward promised by the game company can be easily won.

The player then happily shared the news with his friend and asked him to buy it too. Although the point card reward is not much, this software is only 15 yuan, which is not expensive, as long as you break the record a few more times. What's more, looking at his high ranking on the official rankings, this honor is not something that can be bought for 15 yuan.

In this way, friends spread to friends, friends to friends, and friends to friends, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and spread all over the Internet overnight. Although not everyone has bought the software, the records of tower defense games of major Internet companies have been broken one after another overnight, and the highest record has reached 999 rounds, and this is not that players can't rush higher, but the game setting was only so high in the first place.

The next day, the major online game companies were dumbfounded when they looked at the 999 rounds of clearance records on the ranking list. Many players who did not buy the software were naturally extremely angry and strongly demanded an explanation from the company.

Lin Feng heard the wind as soon as he arrived at the company in the morning.

"Lin Dong, last night, a total of more than 20,000 people were scanned using unknown software, intending to modify the data. As you have previously commanded, all of them will be blocked. Fang Zhihang handed Lin Feng a copy of the data about the unknown software used by the players of "Plants vs. Zombies" last night.

"Well, what about other companies now?" Lin Feng said secretly, this day has finally come, and now the company must be careful to avoid this possible storm of trust in the national network.

"Now other online game companies have blown up, and almost all of them are in the 999 rounds. Players who make it to the list ask for rewards from the company, and players who don't make the list ask for explanations from the company. In short, they must have a headache right now. Fang Zhihang said with a smile.

"Well, did the player find that these online game companies are 'quasi-standalone'?" Lin Feng nodded and asked.

"Not yet, but because our Plants vs. Zombies can't use the software, the number of people online has dropped to more than 200,000. Fang Zhihang said.

"It's okay, it's temporary. But I'm afraid that this time there will be a lot of trouble. Lin Feng was secretly worried.

It was previously estimated that the harm of Goldfinger would be a great headache for these companies, and if players found out that these companies were deceptively "quasi-standalone" operations, I am afraid that these companies would be discredited. But more importantly, because they had adopted advertising bidding on a whim, these online game companies also followed suit and adopted advertising bidding. If this kind of scandal breaks out, I am afraid that these advertising companies will not give up.

Heaven is evil, but you can still live. You will not live!

In the end, it is up to them which online game companies can survive this storm. As for their own company, they should take advantage of the situation.
