Chapter 174 Unprecedented Madness
Having learned from previous experience, Tencent Music was well-prepared.
However, when they actually faced the situation, they realized that they had far underestimated the madness of Tianyi's fans.
It wasn't even nine o'clock yet, and the software was already frequently lagging in the background. Although it hadn't crashed yet, if this continued, it would crash sooner or later.
After discovering this situation, the head of the IT department had no choice but to turn on the backup server.
He watched the number of people in the backend surge rapidly, inwardly cursing:
"Damn it, don't all come to Penguin! Go to Weibo, Gugu, and Kuxia too!"
100,000.
million.
Two million.
He was genuinely terrified by this insane rate of increase.
"How's the data?"
Just as he was deep in thought, President Gu came over and asked him.
Upon hearing this, he could only manage a forced smile and say, "Mr. Gu, it's already over three million."
"Can the back-end support handle it?" President Gu nodded in satisfaction and asked thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we can handle it."
Although he nodded affirmatively on the surface, he was inwardly shaking his head frantically.
At this rate, there's no way we can hold on!
However, President Gu was unaware of his ulterior motives. After asking a few simple questions, he turned and left.
"Damn, only one minute left, I need to start grabbing tickets."
After glancing at the time, the IT manager realized that there was still one minute left before the official pre-sale.
So he sat down impatiently and logged into the Gugu Music platform on his computer to start grabbing tickets.
Of course, we can't log into our own software and put extra pressure on the backend.
However, despite his good intentions, he found that he couldn't access the Gugu Music platform at all after logging in.
"It's packed!"
As expected of a state-owned enterprise, the pop-up page of Gugu Music is so elegant and refined.
He refused to believe it, so he frantically refreshed the page, but the page remained unresponsive.
As time ticked by, he had no choice but to turn to other software.
As a result, all platforms experienced the same situation as Gugu Music.
It was only then that he remembered his own software, so he went to the software's homepage and clicked the link.
"Thankfully, I can still log in."
He was very happy to be able to access the page.
What does this indicate?
This shows that they are well prepared and that they don't need to graduate this time.
But before he could be happy for long, a message suddenly popped up on the page, making his smile freeze.
"No way, they're all gone already?"
He glanced at the time in the bottom right corner. Damn, less than a minute had passed, and they were all gone!
Furious, he quickly clicked on another page, which showed Gugu Music. As soon as he entered, the Gugu Music platform gave him the same reply.
Sold out!
He then clicked on the Weibo link, but it still said the item was sold out.
Kuxia Music platform is sold out.
Tianyi.com is sold out...
They're all gone!
"So I'm the only one who got stuck, and everyone else is fine? That's so unfair!"
When the IT manager discovered that all 100,000 tickets had been sold out, he was devastated.
I was stuck with the tickets like a dog, but others were so quick that they snatched them all up in the blink of an eye. It's outrageous!
"Did the system lag when you were trying to buy tickets?" the IT manager asked a team member.
"It wasn't very laggy, I only managed to grab one."
"It's alright, I managed to snag one on another platform."
"Manager, you didn't manage to get one, did you?"
The IT manager opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
"Old Wang, did you manage to get a ticket?" Just then, Manager Zhou came over and asked.
"No," Manager Wang shook his head and sighed.
"Why are you sad? The company just reserved one for us managers, that's enough," Manager Zhou said with a smile, though he hadn't managed to grab one either.
"Old Zhou, I'm different from you. I have a wife, one isn't enough."
The conversation was over, so Manager Zhou patted Manager Wang on the shoulder and left decisively.
He sat down at his workstation and opened his chat app.
The Four Great Vajras.
"The first thing I saw when I walked in was Awei's smug look. Did he manage to snag a ticket?" Manager Zhou remarked.
Liu Wei quickly replied, "Isn't that obvious? I've prepared several pieces of equipment. If I can't get them, I'll jump off a building."
"Damn it, stop talking. I was just as prepared as you, but I didn't manage to get a single ticket. These people, who call you brother all the time, turn their backs on you as soon as it comes to buying tickets." Zhang San was extremely frustrated.
"Haha, we all managed to snag some, but I only used two devices." Jue Lun's luck has always been excellent.
"I didn't manage to get one either," Manager Zhou said.
Before Zhang San could reply, he added, "But the company gave me one, sigh..."
That tone of voice is just so irritating.
"It's okay, I can buy it from a scalper," Zhang San said nonchalantly, as he had money.
"The scalpers have doubled the price! Those damn scalpers!" Liu Wei checked and found that as soon as the tickets were sold out, the scalpers started offering to sell them at double the original price.
Moreover, the price is still rising because there are just too many people wanting it.
"It's okay, I happen to know a scalper who has tickets, and I'm already in talks with him." Zhang San had already prepared himself mentally.
"Wait a minute, haven't you noticed something strange?" Jue Lun said at this moment.
"What's going on?" the three asked simultaneously.
