Is it not a galgame?

今天是2001年5月10日，pokeni预定的是11号凌晨0点开服。

10 p.m. in the United States.

It’s equivalent to 9 a.m. here in Neon.

At pokeni, Akanishi Ken kept calling his American colleagues to inquire about the situation and was ready to provide remote consultation and technical support at any time. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

Qing Zhiyuan was sitting in the office, chatting with Akanishi Ken and Mikami Shinji.

"President, I don't quite understand." The new planning girl asked, "Why do we need to open the server at this time? Although it is daytime here, isn't it already early morning in the United States?

It's time for everyone to go to bed. "

Qing Zhiyuan glanced up.

The new planning girl is called Rumi Yamashiro. She has a bow tied on her head and a Lolita costume. She is a standard two-dimensional otaku, as if she came out of a comic book.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this girl's outfit was somewhat similar to [Wugeng Liuli].

By the way, Qing Zhiyuan thought that although pokeni's official CVs are still Mitsuishi Kotono and Hayashihara Emi, it seems that Hanazawa Kana will be released soon.

Maybe then Coriander can continue to dub Kanade Tachibana in "angel beats".

According to what Ma Zhizhun said in his previous life:

Apart from coriander, he couldn't think of another sound suitable for Lihua.

Coriander's voice is also outstanding.

"President?"

Wu Geng Liuli called his name, calling Qing Zhiyuan out of his thoughts.

"You don't understand," Qing Zhiyuan said lightly, "Be careful first to avoid overcrowding the server."

"Eh?"

The girl hugged her body with her hands in surprise, as if she had heard some shocking news.

"Will the servers be overwhelmed too?"

"Of course," Akanishi Ken poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down peacefully, "Qinghun's server has been crowded several times before."

"what?!"

Yamashiro Rumi looked surprised, not even sure if they were joking.

It always feels a bit scary.

But if it exploded, why didn’t it make the news?

How exciting news is this?

Whether it is an explosion in a real physical sense or in a procedural form, it always feels very topical.

"Well, don't worry too much."

Akanishi Ken smiled and comforted, "The server exploded simply because there were too many players online at the same time, which exceeded the server's pressure-bearing capacity, resulting in the inability to handle the massive amount of transmitted information at the same time.

So... snap. "

Akanishi Ken patted his head, stuck out his long tongue, and rolled his eyes.

"The server just hung up, almost like someone fainted."

"Ugh!"

Yamashiro Rumi let out a terrible cry and took a step back in fear.

Qing Zhiyuan laughed while watching, but she was not sure whether she was frightened by Akanishi Ken's performance or really frightened by Akanishi Ken's terrifying appearance.

If it is the former, it can explain Ken Akanishi's superb acting skills.

If it's the latter, it's really a bit scary.

……

Seeing the girl's frightened expression again, Akanishi Ken quite enjoyed it.

The reaction of this new planning girl is so cute.

"So you understand?"

"Hmph...Senior, you are good or bad."

Yamashiro Rumi clenched her right hand into a small fist on her chest and glared at Ken Akanishi complainingly.

"It's not my first day here. Of course I know what it means."

"So, at this time, all you need to do is restart the server." Akanishi Ken concluded lightly, "As long as the data is restored to the time before the outage, there will be no problem.

However, it may not be possible to fully achieve this on a technical level now.

If the computer crashes, some data will be lost.

So often in this case, our operations side will compensate the players to a certain extent.

Or just send some dandelion happy beans or something.

Or simply give away some in-game props. "

When Ken Akanishi said this, he smiled sheepishly and scratched his bald head.
Sorry, maybe the programmer has worked for a long time and his hair fell out naturally. Maybe he was tortured by Qing Zhiyuan's needs. Now Akanishi Ken's hairline is very, very high.

So I simply shaved my head bald.

On the contrary, I don’t have to spend much time taking care of it, and my life is much more relaxed.

“So it’s not a good thing if the server is overcrowded or the server is down.

We will try our best to reduce similar situations from happening.

So after the incident, the company set up more backup servers and performed regular data backups.

In this way, even if there are too many online players and the server hangs up, the loss can be minimized. "

"Oh...I see, Akanishi-senpai is indeed the boss of the programming team. I understood immediately after saying this." Yamashiro Rumi bowed seriously, "Thank you very much, Akanishi-senpai for your guidance."

"Haha, you are welcome to ask more questions in the future."

Akanishi Ken smiled and seemed to be very happy with the newcomer's flattery.

Especially if the other party is a planner, this flattery is even more valuable.

Akanishi Ken is usually tortured by Mikami Shinji. Now it is really not easy to find the long-lost sense of accomplishment from the new planner.

"So now do you understand why the server needs to be opened in the early morning hours?" Qing Zhiyuan crossed his hands and looked at the new planning girl.

"Yeah. I probably understand."

Rumi Yamashiro showed a happy smile, "We chose to start the server in the early morning because the number of people during this time period is relatively small, and everyone has gone to bed, so even if something goes wrong, it won't have a big impact.

There will be no server overcrowding as Akanishi-senpai said. "

"Right, that is it."

Akanishi Ken gave her a thumbs up, "The main reason is that we are not sure how many users will log in. Judging from the current download share of officially sold games, there are already more than 300 million copies.

Although this possibility is not very high,
If 300 million people flooded in at the same time, it would really be fatal. "

This is only the number of downloads in the United States in the past seven days. Qing Zhiyuan estimates that there will be more in the future, and once "Border Online" becomes popular, more players will download it online.

Not to mention 300 million people, even an influx of 30 people at the same time would be unbearable.

"As expected of Akanishi-senpai, he thought so much from the beginning and left enough room for the company's operations. Otherwise, if something happened, my colleagues in the United States would be anxious to death."

Yamashiro Rumi smiled and praised, her eyes filled with admiration for Akanishi Ken.

It seems that it is very reassuring to have a master programmer like him in the company.

In fact, she had no idea that the president who seemed to have little ability sitting next to Ken Akanishi and chatting with him was the real hidden boss.

Many of these server architecture contents were inspired by Qing Zhiyuan.

And he sometimes looks at the code himself to solve problems and loopholes that are bound to happen in advance.

The invisible boss is so low-key and unpretentious.

... Shinji Mikami looked at this girl amusedly. The newcomer was really cute.

But, that's it for this period of time.

Cherish the newcomers who just arrived in April, because within a few months the newcomer planner will become a devil in the eyes of programmers.

The admiration for Ken Akanishi of Yamashiro's American team had appeared countless times in the eyes of the previous newcomers, and then disappeared countless times.

This may be sad, but it is also inevitable.

Mikami even sympathized with Ken Akanishi.

"By the way," Akanishi Ken added after thinking of something, "Of course, the server will be overcrowded only when the number of people reaches the limit of the server. I have set up a buffer pool for this, so there should be no problem. big."

Buffer pool. For example, if a server can accommodate 1000 players online at the same time, then when registration is opened, 100 to 200 people will be divided into the buffer pool first. It seems that the number of registered online players is 1000. In fact, it may be Only 800 people are allowed to register.

The remaining number of people will be opened later as needed.

"What do you mean reaching the number of people?" Qing Zhiyuan glared at Ken Akanishi, not very satisfied with his statement.

"Haha, haha, I mean..."

Akanishi Ken didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and had the urge to slap himself in the mouth.

"Of course our number of players will explode. It's impossible not to reach it."

"Huh, that's pretty much it." Qing Zhiyuan let him go and drank his coffee with his head down.

The planning girl looked at them funny, thinking that this pair of bosses was really interesting.

Wow.

What a harmonious and beautiful scene this would have been if Ken Akanishi's appearance wasn't too crotch-stretching.

Rumi Yamashiro looked at Qing Zhiyuan with eyes filled with all sorts of meanings, all like little stars.

The president is really handsome, but it's a pity that he is not paired with an equally handsome boy.

I don't know why, but when Yamashiro Rumi looked at her like this, Qing Zhiyuan's anus tightened, and goosebumps all over her body.

"Furthermore," Ken Akanishi continued the topic while drinking coffee, "Once the number of people exceeds the load capacity of the server, I will force some players to be kicked offline first, so the server will definitely not go down. You can rest assured on this.”

"You are so good."

Qing Zhiyuan gave him a thumbs up.

Ken Akanishi scratched his head in embarrassment, "President, you always praise me like this, and I always feel weird. It seems like you don't mean it."

……

So is this the daily life of the big guys?

Yamashiro Liumei only arrived at the company in April this year, and his internship period has not yet ended, so naturally he does not know much about the internal situation.

When I graduated from college, I was able to get an informal appointment with pokeni. Looking back now, it’s really incredible.

In her mind, P Club is a sacred place, especially for players who like games, the POKENI headquarters is a sacred place.

It is a place where countless people want to make a pilgrimage.

And now, she is standing here, as if she is standing in the center of the universe.

Yamashiro Rumi's heart is filled with endless pride.

Especially when I see so many great people who once only appeared in news media and game production lists, I really feel a wonderful sense of redemption.

Or according to Chinese immortality novels, she is equivalent to a mortal ascending.

Sitting over there was the mother of Pokémon, Lisa Asano, and her colleagues.

The project team here is using GX28 as the code name for the time being. I don’t know what they are developing, but from her perspective, she can see the thin man with long flowing hair.

It was the author she admired very much, Jun Asae.

On the other side is Mr. Gen Urobuchi, who looks like a murderer, but actually has a very interesting personality and always gets a lot of inspiration from chatting with him.

Then in front of him was Shinji Mikami, the boss of the entire game department and a legendary producer.

……

After arriving here, Yamashiro Rumi discovered that many things and many people were different from what she had imagined and perceived in school.

Nao Mushroom turns out to be a cute boy.

Takeuchi Takashi is quite handsome.

Hideo Miyazaki is so good at making such a difficult game that makes people mad, but he didn’t expect that the real person is actually a social terror...

Isn’t Mika Ishino-senpai too kind?

what……

Yamashiro Rumi held the coffee in her hand, bubbling with happiness.

The only regret is——

Until now, Yamashiro Rumi has not seen the supreme god of galgame that she longs for——

Teacher Furuhara Chunqiu.

It was really scary to say that she had never even seen the shadow of Gu Yuan Chunqiu.

Isn't this person too mysterious?
Is Mr. Furuhara a ninja?

……

The time is slowly approaching 0:11 in the morning in the United States, which corresponds to : noon here.

Several big guys also became nervous.

Qing Zhiyuan waited quietly, watching Akanishi Ken walking around uneasily.

"What are you doing?" Qing Zhiyuan stopped him, "It's not a big deal. Sit down."

Akanishi Ken took a few deep breaths and sat down.

"Didn't you say that there is definitely no problem with the server you are working on? Then what is there to be afraid of?" Qing Zhiyuan drank coffee calmly, forming a clear contrast with him and Mikami Shinji, "And it mainly depends on American colleagues. Let's deal with it. The most we can do is pay attention to it.

In fact, it doesn't help much. "

Although Shinji Mikami was watching a movie on the computer next to him, Qing Zhiyuan noticed that his eyes were moving, but his brain was not.

The expression on his face doesn't change with the plot, and you can tell he's fake at first glance.

Shinji Mikami just tried his best to appear calm, not wanting others to see his inner nervousness.

"No, I'm still confident, but I can't say something like a program." Akanishi Ken gave up at this time and prepared to leave a way out for himself. "No programmer in the world dares to guarantee what he writes. There is no bug, maybe it’s just not discovered.”

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Sometimes I think this guy with a high hairline is quite cute.

Qing Zhiyuan snorted and said lightly, "Then we'll solve it after we find out."

This……

Akanishi Ken sighed in his heart.

It's easy to say, but in fact the unknown is what really causes anxiety.

About ten minutes later, someone shouted: "President, it's 0 o'clock in the United States and the server is open."

"Oh, good!"

Qing Zhiyuan stood up from his chair with a start, spilling coffee all over him.

This is crazy...

Ken Akanishi rolled his eyes inwardly, I thought the president was never nervous.
