"Haven't you maintained it yet?"

"It's only been two hours, just wait."

In the offline studio, the two brothers of winter melon and kelp were bored, sitting at their respective workstations chatting and watching videos.

The sudden disconnection caught them off guard and panicked, for fear that because of their own problems, the first mission to participate in the consortium would end in failure.

Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better.

It turned out that this disconnection was not an isolated phenomenon, but a vicious incident that affected many players.

According to the game's official website, the main reason is that there are too many players inside and outside the Black Hole Magic Academy, which causes the server to crash.

The game's official is now urgently opening additional servers to relieve the traffic pressure near the Black Hole Magic Academy.

Players don't care how the server drops, how many people drop.

They just want to ask where the conscience of the game company is, where the sincerity is, and where the compensation is.

In the face of players' saliva, the game company has launched a generous disconnection compensation.

For every 1 hour of game maintenance, the company will give all affected players a double credit card.

If the maintenance time exceeds 3 hours, a double credit card will be added to the original compensation for each additional hour.

At the moment when players are obsessed with brushing the daily life of the academy and cultivating magical pets, credits are the lifeblood of players.

At least 3 extra double credit cards out of thin air can spoil players who haven't been disconnected.

Many people couldn't wait to pilot the spaceship and jump towards the Black Hole Magic Academy.

This kind of opportunistic behavior was quickly stopped by the game officials.

From 10 minutes after maintenance, the Black Hole Academy of Magic is drawn out of the jump list, and no player can jump there.

This approach does not completely eliminate the desire for compensation among players.

A handful of highly mobile players first jump to the Lisom system, where the Black Hole School of Magic is located, land near an unregulated celestial body, and then speed up the ship's cruise speed at full speed, heading towards the place where the Black Hole School of Magic is located.

This approach is respectable and terrifying, but just watch it for fun.

In the ground age, there is still a saying that "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", so how can it not be in the space age.

Don't look at the Black Hole Magic Academy, it's not far ahead, but it's a real distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Even if you turn the ship's thrusters up to smoke, the player's little wrecked ship won't even want to get there.

"Not necessarily, though."

Winter melon stared at the live broadcast screen and suddenly muttered a few words, and discussed the live broadcast content with kelp:

"Look at this anchor, he installed a 'jump knife' on his ship, and also equipped himself with a brain plug chip to extend the jump distance and spaceship accessories. He activated a 'jump knife' and could jump nearly 800 kilometers. I'll do the math..."

Winter melon picked up the computer, crackled and typed, and finally came up with a string of numbers:

"He would need to take off about 30 times in a row before he could jump into the docked area near the Black Hole Academy of Magic. It is known that it takes two minutes to take off once. Jumping 30 times in a row is almost an hour. This guy can barely rush into the drop zone and get himself off the line before the maintenance is over. What a talent. ”

The kelp on the side came to the computer of the winter melon and looked at the live broadcast screen.

Indeed, this anchor is a ruthless person.

He dismantled all the equipment on his ship, leaving only a large miniature jump engine commonly known as the "jump knife" and a series of accessories to accompany the equipment.

The whole ship was not the slightest firepower or means of defense, except for the ability to make continuous short jumps, so it can be said that the maneuverability was brought to the extreme.

Any missile, laser beam, or drone, the ship will only be beaten, and it will be impossible to fight back.

In addition, this anchor is also quite ruthless to himself.

In order to combat the continuous high-intensity short-distance jumps, he filled his head with a brain chip that could refresh his mind, and also connected a buffer tube to his body.

He was lying in the driver's seat like a hedgehog, and the only thing he could do was to use that mouth to give short-range jump commands to the spacecraft computer, chatting with the audience along the way.

Kelp glimpses the number of people in the live broadcast room.

Boy.

32,000 people watched a naked blue plane full of tubes here, and the barrage area was full of mocking barrages such as "brother, you can't catch up", "if you can catch up, I will eat the computer live".

Obviously, the audience in the live broadcast room is also like a winter melon, and used a calculator to simply calculate the time taken by the anchor's jump, and finally came to the same conclusion

This anchor is not discouraged either.

very decisively opened a plate in the live broadcast room, distributed red envelopes, and came to a lottery one-stop, which made the atmosphere in the live broadcast room to a higher level.

"This guy is still quite good at doing show effects." Kelp sighed twice and said:

"If you want me to say, he must have deliberately stuck the time."

Winter melon asked suspiciously:

"What do you mean?"

Kelp explains:

"Didn't you calculate that he would be able to reach the drop zone just before maintenance? I mean, this point in time is calculated by this streamer. The purpose is to make the show effect, drive the barrage to mock him, and brush up the popularity of the live broadcast room. ”

Winter melon suddenly realized:

"Oh~~ I see. If you don't, I'm really in the dark. ”

"Do you really not understand, or do you not understand?" The kelp fox looked at the winter melon suspiciously, and always felt that the other party's tone was a little strange.

"Guess."

"You guess I don't guess."

"Guess if I guess or not, you don't guess."

The two brothers were arguing when cucumber slices appeared behind them.

Cucumber Slices first looked at the live broadcast screen, then pressed the shoulders of the two people, interrupted their tongue twisters, and said:

"Stop. Listen to me. I just got a mission that I need both of you to work on. ”

"What's the mission?" Sitting on the office chair, the winter melon kelp asked.

Cucumber slices hugged their arms, and a thoughtful look flashed in their eyes:

"It's a strange task. It asked me to follow the fleet to the vicinity of the Black Hole Academy of Magic on an escort mission. ”

"Huh?"

"Now at this time to go to the Black Hole Magic Academy? Aren't you afraid of dropping? ”

The two brothers were a little surprised, and when they slapped their heads, they said word by word:

"By the way, the NPCs of the Angel Enterprise Consortium know that we are offline?"

"I don't know, they're just NPCs. It's because I don't know that our players will drop as soon as they get near the black hole, so they will send this task to the captain. ”

"Is that so?" The kelp blinked, always feeling that something was not quite right there, but it couldn't be said for a while.

The cucumber slice touched the door of his head and asked:

"I'm here to ask you two, has the game official promised to provide you with other compensation? You two players who aren't members of the Academy of Magic can't be rewarded with double credit cards. ”

"Huh? yes, we're not from the academy now, so it's useless to ask for credit cards. ”

"Yes, yes, how did I forget about this, and just watch the live broadcast." Winter melon patted the top of his head, and hurriedly checked and carefully checked the official announcement of the game.

The announcement only mentions credit cards, not other compensation.

As a last resort, Donggua dialed the phone and contacted the manual customer service.

After inquiring about the game operation and maintenance management, the manual customer service gave a specific response.

First of all, there is definitely no double credit card, after all, winter melon, kelp, and cucumber slices are not members of the Academy of Magic.

Secondly, for the task failure caused by the disconnection, the game official will correct it in the background, that is, the default player task is successful, and the task evaluation is a full score.

In other words, the three people of winter melon, kelp and cucumber slices will directly get the most standard task reward.

That's the compensation that the game's official promises.

"Whew~~Comfortable~~"

"Yes, yes, our compensation is not bad."

Winter melon kelp exhaled a long breath, and the heart that had been put down would not be lifted at all.

Cucumber slices nodded slowly and said:

"Then it looks like this task can be taken. I'll just jump over with the team and just lie down and win. ”

As soon as I heard that the cucumber slice was going to take over the task, the winter melon kelp was energetic.

The two asked:

"Then are you going to drive a normal spaceship, or are you going to fly an artificial angel?"

"Have you figured out how to lie down and win? I recommend the big break pose. ”

Cucumber slices have long been accustomed to their thinking out of the box.

He dropped a sentence and turned to leave:

"Of course I went on an assault frigate, how could I fly an artificial angel."

Winter melon caught up with the pace of cucumber slices and said:

"That's right, Captain, you play the game screen out, I want to see what the drop zone looks like."

"yes, I'd like to see it too. If the Consortium NPCs take advantage of our disconnection and do something to our bodies, then we're not clean. ”

Cucumber slices were speechless, and their footsteps did not stop, and they said as they walked:

"While playing, you should watch the live broadcast and watch the live broadcast, and you should flirt with the girl. Why are you looking at my game screens? ”

Cucumber slices said this because they didn't want the existence of GM to be known by the two of them.

It's hard to guarantee that when he is close to the drop zone, he will communicate with the GM because of the drop.

If there were two raw melons and eggs staring at him at that time, there might be some accident.

Therefore, the cucumber slice rejected the proposal of the other two.

But when he refused, the winter melon kelp became weird:

"Tsk, isn't it just the game screen playing? What's not to like. ”

"Yes. Captain, the consortium must not have provided you with any indescribable service. ”

"I guess that's it. As soon as his picture is released, it will definitely be exposed. When the time comes, what crisp shoulders are half-exposed, pink and red lips, legal Lori can't be hidden. ”

The cucumber slice has a black line on his face, and he feels that if he doesn't let the other two scan the scene in the drop-off area, then there may be some outrageous gossip in the studio tomorrow.

Cucumber slices waved their hands helplessly:

"Forget it, just watch it. Follow me. ”

"Oh yes."

"I knew that the captain was upright and upright, and he would not give in to the sugar-coated shells of the Consortium."

The three of them walked into the office of cucumber slices.

After a short time, cucumber slices log in to the game and check the game screen play option in the interface.

With a "poof", the projector in the office lights up, casting cucumber slices on the screen.

What catches the eye is a sparse and ordinary biological laboratory, except for the contents of the dissecting table and sample jar, which are a little frightening.

The cucumber slice game character stepped down from the lab table, put on the clothes hanging on the wall, and followed the staff away.

After a short period of preparation, Cucumber Slices and a native pilot boarded the ring-shaped assault frigate.

The frigate sails out of the space station and merges into a medium-sized fleet of 30 artificial angels.

After a short wait, the team's special service ships were the first to make the jump, followed by the other ships and artificial angels in the team.

There is nothing to see in the transition process, nothing more than colorful star spots and bands.

The jump is expected to be completed in 25 minutes.

Winter melon glanced at the time on the phone.

After about 30 minutes, the game maintenance ends.

In other words, when the cucumber slices arrive at the site of the drop zone, the game is almost over.

"It's still a worthwhile task."

"I really envy the captain, you can get the full reward after only 5 minutes of disconnection."

The two brothers sighed.

Winter melon clicked on the live broadcast room he just watched to check the status of the anchor.

This guy is still making short jumps.

The number of people in his live broadcast room has soared to a staggering 200,000!

That's right, it's 200,000, not 20,000!

I have to say that this guy is simply a congenital live broadcast of the Holy Body, and he is the material for doing this business.

I think that with this traffic support, he will definitely be able to become one of the top streamers in the live broadcast room.

"You say, if we ask the captain to start a live broadcast, will he be able to get 200,000 viewers?"

"It should, maybe, maybe, it can."

"But it's too late to start the live broadcast now."

"Yes."

Time passes while waiting for the cucumber slice jump to end.

A hazy white light suddenly flashed on the game screen, a sign that the ship was about to reach the end of the jump tunnel.

Winter melon hurriedly raised his mobile phone and turned on the camera function, wanting to record this scene.

- This is not a multi-faceted move, but to prevent the loss of in-game video after the cucumber slice is disconnected.

After a short while, the game screen is completely white.

The white light quickly dimmed, and the scene on the periphery of the Black Hole Magic Academy came into view.

The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes for a moment, looking at all this incredulously:

"it!"

"it!"

"What's going on?!"

"Where are so many ships!?"

"That's not right, that's not right!" While keeping the video, the winter melon slice called up the live broadcast room, and exclaimed in surprise:

"How so?! Why aren't there so many ships around the Black Hole Magic Academy on the live broadcast screen?! ”

After a series of short jumps, the anchor is already very close to the drop zone.

At this time, both the anchor himself and the audience in the live broadcast room can observe the situation in the disconnection area through the optical observation window and radar images.

On the live broadcast screen, there was a quiet place in the drop zone, most of the players' ships were parked in the parking spots, and only a few ships collided because the players suddenly dropped the line.

But in the main view of the cucumber slice...

An overwhelming number of combined ships!

Artificial angels patrolling everywhere!

All kinds of drones flying around!

This boat parking area is even more lively than a vegetable market!

The two of them were speechless for a while.

Before the two of them could react, an unprecedented explosion suddenly came!

Almost all the ships of the complex, at the same time ignited a bright big fireball.

The fire instantly spread to every corner of the entire ship, followed by countless fiery red high-temperature rays shot out from the inside of the hull!

Colorful fireworks bloom in the game screen, illuminating the faces of the two winter melons and kelp in a colorful way, as if they have been smeared with more than a dozen kinds of dyes.

"Beep."

The game screen is interrupted.

The words "communication anomalies" surfaced.

The cucumber slices also fell off.

He took off his helmet, and the look of shock on his face was no different from that of winter melon and kelp.

"Damn, what just happened?"
