Chapter 5: Trustworthy Teammates
【The server has too many customers, so please try again later.】 】
"Excuse Mi?"
Su Aya watched the teleportation light curtain gradually dim, and jumped back to the multimedia menu of the traditional VR egg cabin.
[I'm very sorry, there are too many players logging into the main plane, and the technical department is rushing to upgrade the server performance, please try again later]
[The time of the detected user's area is 1:48 a.m., does it enter deep sleep mode?] 】
Su Aya didn't plan to sleep, so she simply clicked on the wake-up function.
【Awakening ......】
With his eyes open, he returned to his familiar roommate's bedroom, opened the hatch, Su Aya first drank all the coffee on the small table at hand, ran to the living room unhurriedly, turned on the computer, and began to flip through the news about "Senluo Wanxiang" on the Internet.
There are quite a few promotional advertisements.
She went to split a melon and watched slowly while nibbling on it.
"Oh...... Temporary maintenance."
I don't know how long it will take to maintain, but if Su Aya hadn't been so careful and cleared the novice early, maybe she would still be able to see the appearance of the main plane.
Pulling the scroll bar of the search engine, Su Aya quickly browsed through various gossip. She is very interested in this game, and listening to the tone of the producer, it seems that she wants to take the boutique hardcore route.
At this moment, Paramount corporate headquarters.
Chen Shuai stood at the main desk of the server room and shouted: "Why did it suddenly crash? ”
The subordinate staff replied: "I don't know, boss, the technology is being checked."
"The number of players logging in to the game at the same time is beyond estimate, boss, the network resources occupied by different novices that we do for different players are returned to the main server at the same time, I didn't expect ......" The technical staff just wanted to explain.
Chen Shuai said excitedly: "How many?" ”
"Five ......"
"Five hundred thousand? That's great! ”
"Boss, the server we ordered is based on the data throughput of five million people......"
"Five million? Launched at the same time on the first day?" Chen Shuai's tone was choked, and he couldn't believe the feat he had created.
"And...... Just now, I forced the security mode to do emergency maintenance by sacrificing the packet loss rate to maintain the stability of the server. The number of players who are actually stuck in the novice level is far more than that!"
Chen Shuai said excitedly: "Give me the group of guys who contacted Dan Qiushi to make hardware!" We need big toys! It'......"
He looked at the LOGO, the big tree that carries the second world, and countless people will remember its appearance! He hugged the artist's shoulders tightly and wanted to bring every member of the development team to share the joy.
And the little girl......
Chen Shuai hurriedly asked the customer service: "Let's see how the players in the summer area evaluate the feedback of the strike!" ”
Employee: "Should I add this to the survey?" ”
Chen Shuai: "Of course! ”
But five minutes later, the customer service line staff ran back.
Chen Shuai: "How is it! “
Employee: "Players who don't like ACT action games, in just five minutes, there are more than 1,300 people who have cleared this kind of novice level."
Chen Shuai: "Give me the result!" ”
Employee: "No bad reviews!" ”
"Holy! Holy! Holy! Chen Shuai patted the artist's shoulder, "We succeeded!" South-South! ”
Artist Nannan had a dead fish-eyed look: "Hey, hey, don't call it so affectionately, why are you Gay angry."
Chen Shuai doesn't care so much, his current focus is on the server, and he has spent so much effort, he must not let the project be stillborn at a critical moment!
"Boss, the new equipment is downstairs, the blade integrated cabinet server is too big, and the crane is ready. I can't send it." From the words of the project team members, the company's execution is very high.
Chen Shuai gave an order with higher execution!
"Can't send it!? Tear this wall down for me! ”
......
......
On the other hand, Su Aya saw the news about "Senluo Wanxiang" from the Internet forum, electronic media, and self-media from all sides. It's good or bad.
"One Tree, One Bodhi, One Flower, One World. First sight of the second world. 》
"South Korea's SPL League was suspended, and all members of the Interstellar Branch of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in South Korea entered the VR new game to test the waters, but the result was ridiculous and encountered the server GANK"
"Exciting - Vepor Steam Club Bench Players Upset to Form the First Professional Union in Senluo Haotu"
Do We Really Need VR Games? Frontier Entertainment in the Multimedia Era. Today's topic is: Internet Addiction Treatment. 》
Su Aya: "What the hell is this?"
I'm not interested in e-sports, and I don't watch the news, so Su Aya simply went to the most down-to-earth post bar to see what players said.
A full screen of new replies, refresh speed is staggering. can't help but remind Su Aya of the prosperity of the post bar culture when the Internet era was just beginning. There are a lot of posts, and most of them come up to ask for strategies. And what Su Aya cares about the most is about the scenery of the main plane.
Soon she found what she was looking for, and she also tagged it with hot posts.
"Senluo everything! It's all about it! - Poster: Bi Weng.
Then let's look at the content.
====== dividing line ======
The author is an editor of the electronic media, and this time I can participate in the evaluation of Senluo, and it is also thanks to the blessing of the backdoor uncle's party, and I give the author a novice strategy, but it is not transmitted, and the author hereby declares that in the end, the author's account will also be deleted.
Having said that, this time we are introducing the all-encompassing world of the main plane.
Except for the students who logged in to the game tonight and got stuck in the novice level (laughs), everyone should almost understand, what kind of game is Senluo, right?
Just like the announcer's survey, it covers almost all known game items. And the main plane, here the author put a screenshot. For your reference.
====== dividing line ======
Su Aya looked at it, it was a screenshot of a real game, it was VR first-person, and in the main view, the UI menu displayed [Summer District-Qingqiu Tomb].
Apparently a place name, the warm sky and the earth, above the red wasteland, under the cliffs of the Gobi Desert, are bare rocks full of non-ferrous metal minerals. There is also a very far away [Qingqiu Tomb] that forms a strong contrast with the color of heaven and earth. In the field of view, the announcer uses artwork fonts to embellish the titles of the places the player sees. Zoom in on the details, the marble wall pattern of the city looms, the style is very different, but there are no NPCs in sight.
Su Aya continued to look at the content of the post.
====== dividing line ======
This is the corner of the main plane.,The author just got through the novice level.,I didn't take a few steps before I was kicked out by the server crash announcement.
Having said that, the main plane is a living area for simulating operations, building and collecting, and is rich in resources, making it an ideal country of milk and honey. And the player goes through the novice level at the beginning. It is a drop in the ocean of the real "Senluo - the world".
And the promotional poster says "Start Your Amazing Adventure!" It's also saying!
It couldn't have found a better slogan!
Players can open the door to another new plane by exchanging the [Circles of the Worlds] given after clearing the other world, which is shaped like a crystal ball with polished sleek and shining stars.
Is it like some kobold said?
Mysterious? Got a story? Not ordinary!
It leaves everything to the player.
Explore and adventure in another world, and reap loads of loot.
Repair and entertain on the main plane, and build your own Garden of Eden.
Above, here is the first-hand information brought to you by Penweng.
====== dividing line ======
After reading the content of the post, Su Aya watched the refreshable content suddenly skyrocket, and Yishui's "The service is open!" The title goes up like a yard watch. She hurriedly turned off the computer and tiptoed back to her roommate's bedroom, for fear of alarming the sleeping girl. With excited little eyes, he got into the egg cabin.
[Welcome back to Senluo. 】
【Nervous system docking ......】
【You will be logged in to the Autumn Zone - Butterfly Valley】
Since you have completed the Starter Level, please choose one of the following two optional skills to keep an inherent skill. 】
Su Aya was still in the teleportation light curtain when she logged in. The UI menu pops up with optional content.
【Phantom of the Fog City】
[Skill effect: Ordinary people can't remember your appearance, and the character's magic attribute has increased slightly, and the value fluctuates around C-. 】
[Note: She is a goblin of the night, who has wandered the world for tens of thousands of years.] 】
The other is.
【Awakening-Work-Brick】
[Effect: When you use any props related to construction projects, you will receive C-level reinforcement blessings.] 】
[Notes: Wake up, it's time to work!] 】
[Note 2: Bricks in hand - I have the world]
Su Aya thought for less than three seconds, and chose [Awakening-Work-Brick].
Feeling the change in gravity, it seems that the teleportation has been completed.
She went from standing to lying down, surrounded by pitch black, with a strange sense of space, and the setting of the spawn point seemed to throw her into a long box.
She sensed that something was not right, and from the inside of the box, there was light coming through the cracks.
"It's a coffin."
Touching the rivets inside this coffin little by little, pushing it out little by little,
[Awaken in the chaos, reincarnation after life, and engrave the mark of flowers and steel on your bones. 】
The announcer's voice was replaced by another woman. I didn't really hear it, but in the background, there was a "crackling" sound from time to time from the burning firewood branches.
She banged on the coffin board, and the light came in.
[The buds bloom and fill my heart. 】
Finally lifted the coffin board, she sat up, this can be regarded as being born in the main plane of the game, and the birth point of the Eight Classics is actually a dignified and solemn coffin.
"I have to say that you are really good at playing, producer, and your skills in persuading you to quit at the beginning are first-class."
Su Aya tried to match herself with a wave of voice according to the routine in "Resident Evil".
“Rua!!! Rua!! Rua!! ”
That's what the zombie that crawled out of the coffin is called, right?
As if she had been embarrassed by the nerve knife that had suddenly made her crazy, she propped herself up, stood up, and began to observe this "second world" carefully. ”
Beneath the sky, there are tall mountains in the thick fog, and pine needles rise and fall in the fog, like the delicate fur of a giant. What catches your eye is a refreshing blue.
That's right, in front of the lush butterfly valley in the same color as the sky, from Su Aya's birthplace to the hills in the distance, there are all kinds of blue flowers and plants.
Grape hyacinths, tulips, duck grass, impatiens.
In the distance, the emerald river branched out, and the source flowed past the coffin, and the stream hit the rocks, emitting a crystal clear mist, making the mountain breeze flutter and swaying, and the smell of fresh water could be smelled from the air.
Everything was dewed, and after a heavy rain, the clouds thickened into a ball, and gradually became thin like loose cotton, allowing the wind to stir up.
The light came through.
"Oh......"
Su Aya's small mouth opened slightly, staring at the perfect grass and trees in this world.
The whole world lit up.
Flowers, vegetation and mountains, tourists lining the hills. All gilded with a gold silk light curtain.
【Start your amazing adventure!】 】
After a while, more newborns beside her lifted the coffin board, some of them were overwhelmed, and they fell into the game's ultimate lost trilogy.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
Some have already embarked on the road to Butterfly Valley and began to explore their own second life.
There are also those who have read the guide in the post bar, talk to other travelers, exchange the starlight on the crystal ball, and open the door to the next world.
Su Aya commented so-so: "Well, the special effects are good. Let's give the picture a 9.5 point. ”
She also decided to set off for Butterfly Valley, after all, according to the background of the game, this is the official gathering place for players, and it is easy to do things if there are many people. Along the mountain road, you can see a lot of players, probably because the novice level is different, wearing various styles of clothing from different eras.
There are also those who don't go to Butterfly Valley, and most of those solo travelers go to the wild to collect resources.
Su Aya walked to the mouth of the valley and saw all kinds of suspended buildings built along the cliff wall in the valley, as well as the huge fire pond in the center of the canyon.
A large group of players gather in front of the fire pit and enjoy the buff of the campfire.
Su Aya also came up. Her eyes reflected a strange lilac fire rising from her eyes. There is an additional readable buff in the status bar.
【Warm fire】
[Buff duration: 1 calendar day.] 】
[Buff Effect: When equipping iron armor and metal weapons, the durability is slightly increased, and your natural health recovery speed is slightly increased. 】
[Note: Under the boundless night sky, every campfire points to the way home. 】
There are also many players around me who have received this buff and left directly, ready to do other things. More people choose to use [All Worlds Radius] to open the portal to another world and start the next journey.
It didn't take long for there to be a few people left under the fire pit, Su Aya looked around, many lifestyle players had already begun to fight for the territory of the union station, and at this time, a little brother came over.
Su Aya looked at ID.
【Flower before the moon】
"Hey----- girl."
This little brother looks quite young, but his hairstyle is quite chic, with black hair and side bangs dyed with a little white hair.
Su Aya: "Chocolate milkshake? ”
Flower before the moon embarrassed: "No...... Crystal ball, let's swap."
Su Aya's eyes were awe-inspiring: "Fifty yuan, thank you for your patronage, support WeChat payment."
Hua Qian Yuexia was shocked: "What the hell?!" ”
Su Aya: "Aren't you going to change the ball?" Pay for it."
"Hey! It's too much, friend! "I'm shocked before the moon, I've never seen such a love for money," doesn't this game encourage everyone to change to new toys? ”
Su Aya squinted, as if she had found the wronged leader, and laughed softly: "Hehe..... Your Excellency and the Union? ”
Yuexia hurriedly hid his monogram in the UI social system.
Su Aya could see it clearly.
【L.G】
Isn't this the company that I applied for a job a few days ago and was brushed off? Seems quite famous?
Su Aya's eyes were subtle: "You...... Pro? ”
When Hua Qianyue heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and was full of confidence. I don't want to reveal my identity, "No, anyway, brother, I have a lot of background." Or...... We're all in the autumn zone, and it seems that we all chose horror games. A companion? I'm a master~~~"
Su Ayawu's big eyes turned, and he took out the only prop from the system package slot, the crystal ball [All Realms Fangyuan].
"Come on. Master."
Flower before the moon: "Hey, sister, just call me under the moon."
Su Aya: "Su Aya. “
Two crystal balls collide together, and the stars in them mingle. It also means that there is one more optional plane for the two.
【Under the moon, you are invited to join the squad. 】
What Su Aya didn't know was ......
The little brother in front of him is a union member sent by the LG club to open up the wasteland, and he chose to walk with her, which is part of the plan to be a sister under the moon.
Horror games? Schoolgirl?
Isn't that a match made in heaven?
Go into my brother's arms and cry!
Hey, hey, hey~~~
And what the moon doesn't know is ......
The seemingly cold girl in front of her showed him an amiable smile, but under the eyes of Yingying, Su Aya's thoughts were very "macho".
Teammate? Consumables!
Isn't that what I want?
Hey, hey, hey~~~
[Su Aya has joined the team. 】
Select the Circles you want to open. 】
Tsukishita asked, "Where to go?" ”
Su Aya: "You decide."
Under the moon, I am secretly happy: I just passed the novice level, and my world seems to be full of all kinds of supernatural ghosts.
He said righteously: "Go to my world!" ”
The crystal ball began to glow, as if it contained strange magic. Su Aya saw a stone door suddenly appear in front of the two of them.
Under the moon, like a warrior leading the expedition, took the lead and rushed in, turning back and shouting.
"Don't be afraid! Sister! Come! There's a brother covering you."
Su Aya didn't reply and kept up with him.
After a short break, she embarks on a journey of exploration into the unknown.
