"Holographic Game Design Competition" in the Star Network virtual office building.
Jiang Yu reminded his colleagues in the network maintenance department early on, asking them to pay attention to the official page of the game "Your Ran Tian Ju" after 17:00 in the afternoon, especially around 18:00, to observe the number of visitors at all times and to be careful not to cause the webpage to crash due to too many visitors.
Nowadays, the four-character game name "You Ran Tian Ju" has long been deeply rooted in the company, and titles such as "a relaxing farming game", "it is extremely difficult to grab a place in the game", "the number of players has delayed the speed at which the producer makes money", and "I want to play it too" have all been added to it. Since Jiang Yu mentioned it, the staff of the network maintenance department will naturally not give him this face.
However, although they would pay attention, no one thought that the web page would crash when players were scrambling for numbers. There were only 800,000 game spots, and according to past practice, the number of people who came to grab the numbers would be at most 4 to 5 million, and no more than 10 million.
The game page provided by their company to each contestant is allowed to be viewed by 20 million people at the same time. With such a large base, how can it be collapsed?
In the first half hour of the number grabbing, the staff looked at the more than five million people who had come early to wait, and smiled and said that it was not a big problem. Ten minutes later, the number of people increased to eight million. Although they were still smiling, their attitude had become a little serious.
This solemn statement was correct. Every minute that followed, the number of people visiting the "Your Ran Tian Ju" webpage began to increase rapidly at a rate of one to two million. Before ten minutes had passed, the number of visitors was about to exceed the critical value.
Staff: ???!!!!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Add more machines quickly. There are too many people here. Don't let it collapse!"
"Fuck! Two thousand five, three thousand, four thousand, five thousand five... Why are there more and more people coming as time goes on? By 18:00, the number of people will have exceeded 100 million, right?"
"It's horrible, it's really horrible. If I remember correctly, there are only 800,000 places available, right? One hundred million people are competing for 800,000 names, which means only one in 125 people can get one. I wonder if those who are competing know this horrible ratio..."
"I don't care whether other people know or not, I know it anyway. Don't forget, we agreed to go and grab it together, but now it seems that the outcome is uncertain..."
"Hoo, hoo! I've moved all the idle machines here. Now we're not afraid of 200 million people coming! Hurry up, the time is almost up, brothers, let's charge together!"
As the words fell, those who had wanted to say something all shut their mouths, went back to their seats, and waited with bated breath for 18:00 to arrive.
On Starnet, those netizens who had been waiting anxiously had no idea that such a thing would happen. They entered the homepage of "Your Ran Tian Ju" in advance and felt a slight lag at around 5:30. After that, the page became smooth again. They praised the official of the competition in their hearts for being quite capable and did not take this change to heart.
It was 10 seconds before 18:00. A cloud of smoke diffused from both sides of the page and gathered at the position that everyone was staring at. The smoke gathered and then faded away. A round golden-red icon with a delicate wheat ear relief appeared in the middle of the page, with a big word "抢" on it. Although the netizens were still a little stunned when they saw this pattern, they all clicked quickly on the icon with their consciousness according to the meaning expressed by the word.
After clicking, the result of the "grab" will be revealed. For those who successfully grab the game, bunches of fresh wheat ears will fall on their page, so realistic that it seems that even the wheat fragrance can be smelled. For those who fail to grab the game quota, their page will be a bunch of three drooping wheat ears, which looks very disappointed.
And the whole process was over in just three seconds. Following the style of last month, it was over before it even started.
After that, it will naturally be a time of joyful celebration or a time of decadence with sighs and groans.
“Ah!!” Everyone in the large office was silent, and suddenly someone screamed excitedly, “I got it! I actually got it!”
Everyone looked over at once, their envious and jealous eyes stabbed into that person like knives.
However, the joy of the lucky gift made him ignore the feelings of others. He stood there jumping up and down, saying non-stop: "I didn't expect to get it myself. It's really unexpected! There are more than 100 million people, and my hand speed ranks in the top 800,000! Oh, yes, I have to thank Brother Jiang. If he hadn't reminded us in advance, we wouldn't have added the machine. If the network speed deteriorates and I don't get the game quota, I will regret it to death..."
Before he could finish his words, he was beaten and kicked by his colleagues.
Humph, none of us got it, except you, why are you showing off!
Woo woo woo!
"Sour Cabbage Bone Star", Lin Wenhuan's home.
Lin Wenhuan stared at the virtual projection screen in front of him, blinking his eyes once, then again, his eyes widened and his mouth opened into an "O" shape as if to suit the occasion.
She didn't expect it, she really didn't expect it. She had originally just planned to join in the fun and go online to grab a spot in the game, but she didn't expect that she would actually be drawn?
But... she already has a spot given to her by the game maker...
Lin Wenhuan bit her lip and thought for a while, then entered the "Quit the group once you grab the number" discussion group that she and her friends had temporarily created.
There were five people in this discussion group, including her. When she entered, the other three who had successfully grabbed a spot in the game were comforting the only one who hadn't grabbed one.
"Don't be sad. There will be another chance next month. We sisters will go in first to help you explore the way. When you come in, you will be able to walk around the Novice Village freely!"
“Woo woo woo!”
"Ah, it's because you're unlucky. Why did the network freeze up? I think this spot is pretty easy to grab. Just click on the icon when it appears, and you'll definitely get it."
“Wuwuwuwu!!”
"Hey, don't cry. It's already a foregone conclusion. Only 800,000 people will win. There are still tens of millions of people who will cry with you. Does it make you feel better if you think this way? Besides, even if you don't win this time, there are still two more draws on Xingbo and the forum. Maybe you will win..."
“Wooo ...
Lin Wenhuan looked at the previous chat content with a frown on her face, thinking that these three people really don't know how to comfort people at all. If Xiao An wasn't such a gentle and sweet girl, she would have thought that they were being pretentious on purpose. How can sisters behave like this? They are stabbing people with knives!
She popped up a message in the group, and was soon asked by four people about the result of the number grabbing.
"I got it." Lin Wenhuan took a breath and said quickly before the discussion group was once again drowned in Qi Jiaan's tears, "But I already got one before that. I can give my game spot to Xiaoan."
Qi Jiaan & the other three: !!!
Lin Wenhuan was greatly pleased by the stunned looks of the four people. She proudly told them how she had met the game maker before and how she had obtained the game quota from him. She then showed them the game quota she had received before the 18:00 number grabbing, which had been bound to her Imperial Citizen account, number 5001.
Such a development was something the four of them could never have imagined, and Lin Wenhuan actually grabbed another one with his own hand speed. What kind of luck is this? It's really enviable!
"This is good news, why didn't you tell me before?" a friend asked a soul-searching question.
The smile on Lin Wenhuan's face froze, and after a while he stammered a few words to explain: "I'm just afraid of irritating you. I didn't even have to fight for such a hard-to-get game spot. How embarrassing. Besides, if I publicize my experience, other people will also go to Li Li to give their opinions. If they are serious opinions, it's fine, but if they just make random comments, wouldn't it be harassment? I don't want these things to affect Li Li's normal life..."
Even if Bai Li forgot about it, she would not remind him. After all, to make such a great game, Li Li should be very busy.
What Lin Wenhuan said makes some sense. It was obviously a good thing, but it turned into a bad thing in the end, which is not beautiful.
The friends quickly accepted her explanation, and Lin Wenhuan gave the game spot she had snatched to Qi Jiaan as she had said before. Now, the five of them could enter the game together.
The five people laughed in the discussion group for a while, and simply changed the group name from "Quit the group after grabbing the number" to "Let's farm together".
At the same time, the two topics #800,000 game spots for "Your Own Farmhouse" were snapped up in 3 seconds# and #The number of people grabbing the spots reached a record high of 130 million# were both on Xingbo's hot searches.
Compared with the 800,000 people who were lucky enough to get a spot in the game, the 100 million plus people were just a huge number. They were sad, grief-stricken, dazed, and had no desire to live until someone close to them reminded them that they still had a chance and that the prizes would be announced on Xingbo and the forum in six hours. Only then did they come back to life and run to Xingbo, crying and laughing, to share their feelings when they grabbed the number.
"Three seconds! Three seconds! I... couldn't do it that fast! In the blink of an eye, 800,000 accounts were gone! It's so tragic!"
"This is my second time grabbing a number. I thought it would be easier this month than last month, but why are there so many competitors? One hundred and thirty million people, how did they come about? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out TAT!"
"I once had 500 spots in front of me that I didn't have to fight for, but I didn't cherish them. I only regretted it after I lost them. Now, the forum friends who followed the instant noodles into the game are almost level 20, but I can only drool over the food photos they posted. It's so hard for me!"
“…”
The military headquarters located on the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star" is even more lively at this time than during the Chinese New Year.
Tang Ying quickly compiled a list of 190,000 warriors with the most severe genetic collapse syndrome, and announced on the spot that the admiral had negotiated 190,000 game spots through his own channels. He notified them to pack up and enter the game directly.
The warriors who did not get a chance this time did not give up. All of them together grabbed more than 10,000 game spots.
While netizens are still grieving over missing out on a great opportunity, these 200,000 or so warriors are already happily preparing to log into the game and have a good experience.
