Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 165: The game is shut down and I will meet Hathaway again
It was probably because Lin Tuo's attitude was too calm, and the contrast with the surrounding environment was huge. It took a few seconds for the owner of the Internet cafe to finally react and gave him a curious look.
With a smile: "Congratulations."
According to the rules, since Lin Tuo is the first to clear the level, then the challenge will have a champion.
Well, as for the second and third places, they still need to continue to compete. There are rewards, but that's not what he cares about.
There was a lot of noisy, and the rest of the people returned to their seats amidst the shouts of the owner of the Internet cafe, while Lin Tuo was taken to the second floor to receive the prize.
It wasn't until this time that he saw the situation on the second floor...
Individual compartments, with cables hanging from the roof.
There is no screen. At this moment, some people are standing in the cubicle, wearing helmet-like brains, with sensor equipment fixed on their bodies, and making all kinds of weird actions with their eyes closed...
Walking on the spot, chopping, tumbling, etc... When Lin Tuo entered the door, he saw a player sitting on the ground tumbling, pouting his buttocks, yelling, calling for mercy...
It looks like a sand sculpture...
"This is the newly opened virtual game zone," the owner of the Internet cafe laughed and asked for words, "We are still too biased here, otherwise the machine will be equipped.
Were it not for the "Third Continent" to be too hot this time, it hadn't been decorated so quickly. "
The Third Continent... This is the Nth time I have heard this name, and it is also his first stop for investigation.
Lin Tuo looked around with interest, and tentatively asked:
"I see an advertisement saying that this game is online by tens of thousands of people..."
"Hey, how can there be so many people...well, but I'm really not sure in these two days," the owner of the Internet cafe smacked his lips, "I heard that the game has become more and more popular in the past two days.
Anyone who can afford basic equipment has at least registered.
Especially this game is very sticky, and people who have almost played it cannot do without..."
"Well, what about the Internet disease?"
"That's not enough, don't listen to the nonsense in the news, how can you be unwell without going online? If this game has this magic, the government has been shut down early."
Defensive sentence, the middle-aged man pointed to No.1 in the VIP area on the second floor, took out a card from his pocket, and smiled:
"This is the one. It’s very valuable with the card. I’m willing to buy one. It's much better than the one outside. Just lie down."
"Okay." Lin Tuo took it and greeted him again. When the owner of the Internet cafe came downstairs, he opened the box door.
……
The lights are automatically turned on, and there is only a sofa-like game room inside, and usage tips are posted on the wall next to it.
Lin Tuo didn't hesitate. He immediately lay down and closed the parts. Not to mention, lying down was quite comfortable.
At this time, he was a little more curious about the so-called "virtual space".
Closed his eyes, fumbled for the switch, pressed it, and the green light turned on. In the next second, a slight ether fluctuation emerged, and Lin Tuo felt that a line of small words suddenly lit up in the consciousness space:
"The device is starting..."
"The organism was sensed, it has been automatically connected, and the connection is complete."
Immediately, a system interface suddenly appeared in his vision.
Very simple.
Only the Internet cafe system and a "browser" are installed.
Ignore the former, Lin Tuo skillfully opened the "browser" icon with his ideas, and an input box popped up:
"Please enter the link address."
When the library was looking up materials before, Lin Tuo emphasized that he knew that the so-called "virtual space" was not a real virtual world.
The technology of this era has not yet developed to that level.
But small spaces.
Each space has an independent "address" that can be accessed through a browser.
For example, some large companies will rent servers, set up a separate virtual meeting room, and then inform employees of the address and password to allow them to access.
So you can have a meeting after get off work happily...
Similar applications are very extensive.
The game "Third Continent" is also built on similar principles, but it goes deeper. Players need to log in to the "Main City" space first.
Based on the teleportation array distributed in the "Main City", enter other small copy spaces to do quests, kill monsters and clear levels, players pk, etc., to earn experience and game currency.
In thinking, Lin Tuo has entered a line of "URL" through his ideas and clicked to confirm.
"Logging in..."
"Login successful!"
As the words surfaced, Lin Tuo saw a cloud of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, which flooded his entire consciousness.
A few seconds later, the light slowly dissipated, and Lin Tuo found himself in a blank world full of fluttering clouds.
Well, it feels similar to "phantom space".
As he entered, an interface similar to a "virtual panel" suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as a messy campaign advertisement page, and the login interface on the right.
Choose to create a new account...There is no real-name verification thing here. It took two minutes to complete a series of steps and skip the animation.
I was too lazy to adjust the character's image. I directly chose the "original appearance". I didn't even bother to take the nickname. I directly clicked the system generated... Anyway, he just came in and took a look.
Finally, I chose a new area that has not been "full".
The next second, the clouds rolled up, and a small door appeared in front of them.
Go over according to the prompts, hold the door handle, push it away slowly, and walk in.
In an instant, Lin Tuo appeared in a bustling city.
……
……
"Call~"
The breeze blew across the face, and everything around it became clear. This is a slightly magical city, full of exaggerated and glorious buildings.
At the foot is a landing entrance that looks like a magic circle.
At this moment, when I turned my head and looked around, I could see people with different clothes appearing out of thin air, and then each busy walking towards the distance.
There are also some "new players" who, like themselves, wear novice outfits and are looking around blankly. In the sky, a colorful floating boat flies by.
There are strangely dressed NPCs pulling the violin by the pool nearby, and the sound of the piano is melodious.
"It can be considered online, I just got off work."
"Hey, hey, I'm here, go to the main city to meet up with the big statue, I have to gather all the materials for what I say today."
"I forgot to claim my level gift pack!"
Around, some players wearing various equipment, carrying large swords or carrying staffs, are walking and talking to the air. They should be contacting teammates in Kaimai.
I didn't see the blood bar magic power bar or something... It was probably hidden by default in the main city, after all, fighting here is prohibited.
As a whiteboard account, Lin Tuo is still at level zero, and he only has a set of whiteboard clothes and a novice sword: "Familiarize yourself with the environment first? Why didn't I see novices guide or something..."
Although it was initially identified that the "crisis" may be related to this game, Lin Tuo did not have any idea to investigate when he first entered this place.
Retracting his gaze, being puzzled, he suddenly heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice behind him:
"Dear player,'Code is too difficult'...Welcome to the third continent, I am your exclusive consultant, Anne Hathaway, and I am very happy to serve you."
Lin Tuo suddenly turned around, only to see a female figure floating behind him:
She has the typical features of the Northern Continent, wearing a crimson robe, a crown of pure white flowers and branches,... she holds a delicate staff in her hand, and a magic halo on her body.
At this moment, I was staring over with smiling eyes.
Almost the same as the Master Winton back then...Except...The body is only the size of a palm, there are two pairs of round wings struggling to flutter behind, and the face and body are obviously cute. ...
"Um..." Lin Tuo was silent for a while.
Finally looked at the **** Hathaway with a weird look in her eyes, she was at a loss:
"What's the situation...?"
……
……
It was just a little earlier when Lin Tuo entered the game.
Sanctuary.
In the inner ring, to be precise, in a certain area where the second ring is located, a huge building full of design aesthetics shines under the virtual sun.
As the headquarters building of the "Third Continent" game developer, here you can always enjoy the best light during the full 12 hours of daylight.
So that internal employees are always in a state of excitement.
However, at this moment, the building is full of solemn atmosphere.
On the tenth floor, in a large conference room.
On both sides of the long table, almost all the leaders of the various departments of the "Third Continent" project are present, and the screen in front of everyone shows the same document.
That was sent by the Central Committee, requesting that the game operation must be shut down as of tonight. The scarlet seal on it was particularly dazzling.
"...Is there really no way?
Our game has just broken through the peak of online users, and the daily flow is the highest ever...
The publicity funds have been returned, but the game development costs have not been wiped out. At this time, the loss of the shutdown will be incalculable..."
One person said palely.
But he was forced back by the murderous look of the company boss:
"Do you think I would like to see this result?
What can I do?
What can I do if you can’t solve the problem that you have created? !
I asked you to self-check when the problem came out. What happened? How did you tell me? Later, there was a big trouble and the Central Committee was disturbed. I fought for two weeks. What happened?
Is the problem solved?
What the **** is the ‘Internet Lay’s Disease’?
What else can you talk about besides ‘technical issues’? Two weeks later, the situation is getting worse, and the number of people unable to leave the virtual network is increasing!
All the clues point to the "Third Continent", don't you wait for the government to arrest people? ! "
The middle-aged man sitting at the head almost roared.
The voice echoed in the meeting room, but no one dared to look at each other.
Everyone understands that things cannot be reversed.
The number of people affected by "Internet Lay Disease" is increasing, and all patients point to the company's entire shelter history, the hottest game.
In the beginning, it could be explained by "Internet addiction", but later, the situation became more and more wrong. The technical department worked overtime and tried various methods to detect the problem, but the problem was never found.
As public opinion gradually spread, the company finally couldn't resist the pressure, even if it faced huge losses~IndoMTL.com~ even if the entire department's efforts were lost, they could only choose to shut down the server.
In the silent atmosphere, the middle-aged man leaned down in the seat dejectedly, sighed, and said:
"Go, there are still a few hours before the deadline. I have to hurry up."
As the hottest game in the entire shelter, the currency, equipment, accounts, etc. in it are not worthless. Sudden closure will definitely cause trouble.
Data must be backed up and stored, and to deal with subsequent wrangling.
"...Yes."
In silence, a famous department leader got up and left with a heavy heart. After a while, only middle-aged people were left in the entire office.
Sitting quietly in the chair, looking at the bright sun outside the window.
……
Five minutes later.
In the development center of the building, the engineers who received the final order returned to the workstation with a heavy heart, and began to follow the plan that had been made.
Open the background to perform data migration and save.
A "mail" that has been drawn up is sent to each player's mailbox through the system backend.
It is an announcement to notify the offline time in advance due to technical issues.
However, what no one knows is that when a large number of online players in the game opened their mailbox and clicked on the "little red dot", they only saw a blank space.
……
……
At the same time, the new district, inside the main city.
When Lin Tuo closed the blank email suspiciously and looked at the "Hathaway" who was next to him, he found that the cute "consultant" had a chubby face for a moment. Caton.
"What's wrong?" Lin Tuo asked.
"Nothing, ah, do I need to continue to explain the game content for you?"
