Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 720
Giselle is a pure novice, who has never played the main line of the game. Standing here purely with a blank slate, she wants skills but no skills, wants weapons but no weapons, it is really pitiful.

Fortunately, she is not alone.

In Rio today, there are at least 20 helpless players like her.

Because just yesterday, a large ocean-going cargo ship finally arrived at the port of Rio after a month of wandering at sea.

A total of 400 million Mirage hosts have arrived in Brazil, and the local game company Samba Game Studios (SGS), which is waiting here, has completed the receipt process as quickly as possible, and quickly sent these hosts to all parts of the country.

Local orders in Rio ranked first due to the location.

Ever since, a large number of Rio players today have successfully logged into the virtual world with the help of that "mysterious software".

Based on the instinct of gamers not wanting to miss the latest event, many people go straight to the latest event launched by Yunmeng as soon as they enter the game.

Among these people, players who choose casual games and Dinosaur Island generally feel good, because there is no threshold, and players are also willing to help others, and it is easy to mix into the big team to play together.

But for players who choose to come to Metropolis to participate in [Dragon Invasion], the feeling is not so good.

Without full-level physical fitness and the skill effect of [Assassin's Bloodline], he is almost not qualified to participate in this super battlefield, let alone without a gun.

When they came here, they could basically just watch the excitement, and then they either died tragically or changed places.

But this is still not the worst, the worst and worst is the players who go directly to [Extraordinary Battlefield] and think about the entire [Armment Box].

Their experience is simply appalling.

You don't even have to think about what will happen if you throw a recruit without any training directly into a battlefield full of veterans and gods everywhere.

If they go to the regular mode to play matchmaking, they can still be matched with novices or veterans.

Even if you go to the national war, you can match your opponents in the T3 theater and play the fish pond game.

Even if you still lose, at least you have something to play.

Only [Extraordinary Battlefield] is really not a place for novices to stay, they don’t even know how to die——

They met each other on a narrow road, and before the muzzle of the gun was raised, blood began to bleed from the head.

Hiding for a sneak attack, all the bullets went out, and the opponent's figure blurred, and he dodged!

Hiding behind the bunker and firing a mortar, the bullet turned around and blew his own head.

……

In the whole game, 0 kills and 50 deaths are the norm.

Ordinarily, they also have these abilities, but they just can't play well, and they are crazily abused.

In short, one sentence: the game experience is extremely bad!

When Giselle reluctantly contacted her classmates, Lin You also came to the company.

But before going to the "Chang'an" development team, he first noticed that a large number of American players connected to the server.

It's not that the complaints from the players reached him, but the fact that they connected to the Yunmeng server itself is a bit strange.

Lin Youke still remembers that because America is America’s backyard, the Internet construction standards are different from those in Europe and Blocia.

In addition, Yunmeng has been "blocked" by America for a long time. Not only did the mainland refuse all cooperation including the host, but even other countries in the Americas were also asked to refuse Yunmeng's cooperation.

The American countries have been blackmailed by America for a long time, so they are naturally not reconciled, and they refuse to buy a host.

But this is also the biggest achievement. They are very dependent on America on the Internet, and they really have no resistance.

Therefore, Yunmeng does not have servers in the entire Americas, regardless of North America or South America.

But in the past two days, a large number of American players have successfully connected in - not only in Brazil, but also in Mexico.

These two largest game markets in Latin America have a large number of players connected to the server. In just two days, the number has exceeded one million, and it is growing rapidly every minute.

The host Lin You can understand, after all, the ocean shipping has been over a month, and it is indeed time to arrive.

But how did they solve the network problem?
He first tried to use technical means to trace back, but found that he could only trace back to a more sensitive node-the embassy.

Bactria Embassy in Brazil and Bactria Embassy in Mexico.

After going back to this node, although it can continue to go deeper technically, there are certain risks and it is not suitable, after all, it is the special line of the embassy of one's own country.

After thinking about it, he chose the simpler and more direct approach: call Lu Wei.

"Director Lu, good morning." Lin You greeted warmly.

"Lin You? What's the matter, what's the matter?"

"I have something to ask you."

"Talk about it, but let's talk first, don't ask me about the Rockets, I can't help you." Lu Wei didn't want to get involved in this outrageous matter.

"No, no, I just want to ask, in the past two days, millions of Brazilian and Mexican users have accessed Yunmeng's server. I think they all came in through the node of the embassy. I just want to ask, do you know what's going on?" .”

Hearing Lin You's question, Lu Wei heaved a sigh of relief.

He happened to know this, so he replied: "There is one thing you may not be clear about. Because the network construction methods of Daxia, America, and Europe are different, special agreements are required to connect them, which will have a negative impact on both companies going overseas and overseas students. It is very inconvenient. Therefore, Daxia and many countries that have established diplomatic relations have mutually authorized each other to establish dedicated network nodes to serve their own embassies, overseas companies and students studying abroad. These network nodes in Daxia are uniformly registered in the embassy under the name of the library for easy management.”

This answer only answered half of Lin You's question, and the other half was: "Since it is a node serving people going abroad in Daxia, why did it connect millions of Brazilian and Mexican users?"

Lin You can see the user profile here. These players are indeed Brazilian and Mexican users, not Daxia users.

When answering this time, there was an obvious smile in Lu Wei's voice: "This, we don't know, maybe the software connecting the nodes was accidentally cracked and leaked out. We are also trying to figure out a way to deal with it."

Accidentally cracked and leaked?
In less than two days, millions of copies were leaked?

Then there are millions of non-national users logging in, and you still have no way to deal with it?
What a liar!
Just adding an identity verification can block 99.9% of illegal logins without any difficulty at all.

What is "still trying to find a way" is clearly "we did it on purpose!"

Lin You didn't ask why. If he guessed it, it might involve the struggle for global Internet hegemony, the formulation of unified network rules, the political relationship between Daxia and Latin American countries, and so on.

He doesn't understand these things, and he doesn't want to get involved too much.

If it's in his favor, accept the offer.

Of course, another problem has to be considered: the embassy manages such an important network node, so it must have its own server.

It's just that when these servers are established, the number of people they plan to serve obviously does not include nationals of other countries.

Now that the two countries have more than 100 million users combined, there may be no pressure, but if the expansion continues, whether the server can withstand it is a problem.

This batch of mirages has directly delivered more than 800 million units, and at the same time there are still 600 million units floating in the sea, which will arrive in half a month.

This has to be fully activated, and the server of the embassy may not be able to withstand it.

Lin You thought for a while, and then asked, "Director Lu, does the embassy accept donations?"

Lu Wei froze for a moment, "What do you want to donate?"

"Extraordinary."

"Normally, it's not acceptable, but your situation is special, so it should be fine. Which embassy do you want to donate to? Brazil or Mexico?"

"Donate all!"

"Donate all?!" Lu Wei once again realized Lin You's wealth, "Two supercomputers?"

"Yes!" Lin You said without hesitation, and he still felt that it was not enough, "By the way, do the embassies of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Persia need to increase their computing power?"

Obviously, he thought of the four countries that the Yunmeng server cannot enter at present.

"No need!" Lu Wei quickly refused, "Don't be afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

It is impossible to hide this kind of thing from the local government. It is done in Brazil and Mexico because the two sides have reached a tacit agreement.

But doing the same in America and England?

Do you think the world is too peaceful? ?
