Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 5 Cancer in the MUD world?

MUD games do not have high requirements on server configuration and network speed, after all, they are just text online games.

It is not a big problem to use the computer of the Internet cafe as a server to maintain 30-50 people online at the same time and play smoothly. Of course, this is only temporary. After earning the first pot of gold, you can buy your own server and continue to upgrade.

Seeing that Fang Jie really set up the MUD server, Li Yi was speechless, but also got some interest.

"Would you like me to help you advertise in our Jing Da Xia Guest House?" Li Yi asked with a wicked smile.

Fang Jie originally planned to go to the major MUD forums and game sites to swipe advertisements. Anyway, his server can't hold many people, so he can recruit some people to try it first.

Since Li Yi, the WIZ of the Beijing Heroes Travel Company, is helping to advertise, he certainly doesn't mind saving some trouble.

But he also knew that Li Yi's purpose was not simple.

There is competition between MUD sites, and it is impossible to push their players to other sites. People don't believe that this broken server he created can withstand the stress test.

The so-called stress test, in a popular sense, is to let a large number of players flock to the game, log in to the online game at the same time, and then see whether the server's ability to process data per second is stable, and whether it will crash and crash.

Fang Jie reported the IP address and port of the game site to Li Yi, and then gave a slogan.

"The new 1 times violent rate perverted server will be given to the GM teleport function item at the beginning, and the full level will dominate the entire server in [-] day. "The Legend of Jin Yong Qixia" is waiting for you to fight!"

Looking at this slogan, Li Yi has begun to regret it in his heart. He feels that he may have thrown a mouse poop into the relatively peaceful MUD rivers and lakes. He really doesn't know what the consequences will be.

Entering the game, he saw the instructions for using the flying boots.

As long as you wear this item and type the GM's goto+ID command in the game, you can teleport directly to an NPC or even the item, and complete the task in seconds.

Li Yi scoffed at this and felt that Fang Jie was simply a cancer in the GM world. He did not abide by the ethics of the "Wizard's Code", and actually distributed this GM's privileged function as an item function to the players.

However, as an ordinary player who came here to test, he still tested the function of the flying boots.

Well... from the player's point of view, it's pretty easy to use.

When doing a task, you don't need to memorize all the locations of the map and NPC, and you don't need to make a robot script. Any novice player, as long as you have this item, remember the simple GM command of goto, and you can successfully start the game task.

From the perspective of game developers, this setting has a great advantage: it greatly reduces the amount of data processed by the server per second.

Under normal circumstances, the game player receives a mission on map A, and then needs to type out a dozen or even dozens of direction instructions to reach map B and return the mission. The server must feed back these instructions. Every step, it must also feedback every passing one. The textual description of the scene, resulting in a large amount of data exchange.

Now, the intermediate process is omitted, and a goto directly replaces the entire intermediate process. The data throughput of the server is reduced by at least ten times. In this way, the game can accommodate more players online at the same time.

In fact, it is true. The effect of his personal advertisement is very good. In less than 5 minutes, the number of people online in the game has reached more than 30 people. After 10 minutes, there are already more than 50 people online, but the game is still running very smoothly. .

The process of doing tasks is extremely simplified, the speed of brushing experience potential is too fast, and the 100-fold task reward has caused many people to earn a lot of potential by doing a few simple tasks of delivering letters, and they have to be busy going to the martial arts training room. Retreat and level up to improve skills.

So the game server processes less data and can accommodate more players.

While Li Yi was analyzing the game, Li Qing, who had nothing to do, also entered the game with the help of Fang Jie.

But Li Qing didn't know how to play this game at all, and her English was also scumbag. In the end, she simply threw her account in the Confucian Temple Novice Village in a daze, and approached Fang Jie to watch him play the game.

Fang Jie was not playing, but edited the robot scripts on the client, and set these scripts as buttons and embedded them on the client.

He wants to make a fool game client to reduce the game threshold of MUD, and also reduce the load of the server.

Seeing Fang Jie constantly typing out various codes and functions on the computer, and performing various operations that she didn't realize, Li Qing was confused at first, and then her eyes gradually turned into admiration when she looked at Fang Jie. It's crazy.

Feeling the breath of the closeness hitting his face, Fang Jie's typing speed on the keyboard gradually slowed down, thinking that this girl is really cute and cute, and she is completely defenseless against herself.

Your brother is still sitting next to him. Is it appropriate to be so close?

Fang Jie felt that he was a decent gentleman, so he suddenly turned his face and said, "Go check QQ, there should be some business coming to you."

At this moment, his mouth was about to touch the tip of Li Qing's nose, but unfortunately it was only a little short.

Fang Jie secretly said that it was a pity, but Li Qing didn't realize that she was almost molested by the other party. After being stunned, she returned to her position obediently, opened QQ and took a look, and there were three verification information.

After passing it, someone in the room immediately asked, "Is 1 yuan exchanged for 100 taels of gold? Are there any special offers on the first day of the server?"

Fang Jie has already come over at this time, his server computer is not suitable for QQ, so he directly replied to Li Qing's QQ number: "If there is an event, the recharge rebate is 100%, which is limited to three days."

The man said: "Okay, then I'll try to charge 100 yuan first. Just send a screenshot of the online banking transfer, right?"

Fang Jie replied, "Yes."

After a while, a screenshot of the bank transfer popped up. The receiving account was an ICBC card that Fang Jie had previously handled, but the online banking was not activated.

Before 2002, the network environment was very clean. Honesty and trustworthiness were the basic code of conduct. There were almost no scammers on the Internet. Top-up transfers were just so sloppy and playful.

"Wait, after confirming the transfer, gold will be issued to you directly in the game. Please provide your account number."

While typing this sentence, Fang Jie took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Qing: "You go to the ATM next door to check the account. There was originally only 50 yuan in it. If it arrives, it should be 150 yuan. "

Li Qing snorted, got up and was about to leave, and asked, "What's the password?"

Fang Jie smiled slightly: "Your birthday."

Li Qing couldn't help but stay for a while, and her face turned red.

"Go, go, go and come back."

Fang Jie waved his hand indifferently, turned around and returned to his position and started to work nervously again.

Looking at Fang Jie's back, Li Qing seemed to have got some kind of treasure, and tightened the bank card in her hand tightly, and then ran out quickly.

Next to the telecommunications business hall is an ICBC. Although it is closed during the Chinese New Year holiday, the ATM machine can be used normally.

Put the bank card into the ATM machine, enter the last six digits of his birthday, and he successfully entered the account system.

Li Qing looked happy and bit her lip shyly.

Although Fang Jie's various performances have always been obvious, but Li Qing has not obtained direct evidence to prove the other party's mind, especially when she celebrates her birthday every year, people don't say anything. It doesn't make sense at all.

The password for this bank card could only be set at the beginning, not temporarily, so it proves that Fang Jie knew her birthday, but it was hidden deep enough that it was completely exposed today.

It is very meaningful to be able to set the bank card password as her birthday!
After coming to this conclusion, Li Qing couldn't help but smile.

I checked the bank account, and it turned out that it was not 150, but 350 yuan.

After taking out the bank card, Li Qing quickly ran back to the Internet cafe. She just wanted to get back to Fang Jie as soon as possible.

As soon as they met, Fang Jie asked, "Is there an extra 200 yuan in it? Two more people recharged it just now."

"Yes."

Li Qing was still immersed in some kind of joy, and subconsciously responded.

"Yeah." Fang Jie smiled noncommittally, "Just follow my words just now and accept those players who have topped up, and feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything."

Li Qing didn't quite understand why the other party was acting so calm. After sitting down, she looked at Fang Jie excitedly and said, "It turns out that playing games can really make money! You made 300 yuan all at once!"

"Huh?" Fang Jie shook his head speechlessly, "You are so excited for 300 yuan? That's enough for today's Internet access fee. In the future, the customer service work will be fully handed over to you, and there will be wages. "

Li Qing's eyes lit up: "Really? How much is the salary?"

Fang Jie smiled indifferently: "Give you 10% of the sales. That is to say, there is 300 yuan in the 30."

Li Yi on the side was not calm: "Fang Jie, give me 10%, I will come to be a wizard for you!"

Fang Jie was stunned: "With your skills, you can make money with your own MUD station, why help me?"

Li Yi smiled embarrassedly: "After all, it's your idea... I tested it just now, and I think your setting is a bit... but it can make money!"

Fang Jie noticed the strangeness of the other party: "Do you have any financial difficulties?"

Li Yi glanced at his sister and hesitated for half a second before saying: "The living expenses given by the family can barely survive in the capital, but if you want to talk about a girlfriend, it is not enough."

Before Fang Jie could say anything, Li Qing exclaimed, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

In the eyes of Li Qing or the whole family, Li Yi has always been a scholar + nerd, a typical love insulator.

"Don't tell your uncle and aunty." Li Yi glared at Li Qing, "Now the company's benefits are not good, and the annual tuition and living expenses have put a lot of pressure on them, and I don't want to add more burdens to them."

Turning his eyes to Fang Jie, Li Yi laughed at himself: "With my family's conditions, it is considered a medium level in Tongcheng, but when I went to the capital... Alas, it's hard to say."

After a pause, Li Yi said again: "Study is the same, I was beaten badly. Everyone in Beijing University is a genius. I thought I could find a girlfriend based on my strength, but I didn't expect to end up with a weak figure. Advantages, only to defeat a group of rivals and talk about a girlfriend. It's funny..."

Cousin Li Qing has the appearance of a goddess, and her brother Li Yi is naturally not far behind. He is indeed quite handsome. He is 180 meters tall and has a well-proportioned figure. Since he is a scholar, he looks cool all day long, which is very eye-catching.

It's just that this cool guy can't be cool anymore after going to Beijing University, where there are many scholars, and his self-esteem has suffered all kinds of serious blows. In the end, he can only beat the crowd with his outstanding external advantages. It's really funny.

After listening to this, Fang Jie couldn't help laughing: "Even if you can't win the fight, appearance is justice and an advantage. There's no need to belittle yourself."

"Fighting father? Beauty is justice? These two words are used cleverly! Where did you learn them? Incisive!"

Li Yi thought for a while, and couldn't help but slap his palms and smile: "When I go back to school, I'll use these two words to show off, ha..."

Fang Jie became serious: "You are willing to come and help me, of course I can't ask for it, but don't delay your studies, you finally got to Beijing University, the future is limitless!"

According to the normal trajectory, after graduation, Li Yi will enter a relevant department of the state. This is a potential network resource. This is called someone in the DPRK who is easy to do. It is a waste of money to play games with Fang Jie. There is absolutely no need for this.

As for making a fortune and making money, with the relationship of Li Qing in it, Fang Jie will definitely not let this eldest brother ignore it. Just find a project to bring around, enough for Li Yi to live a life without food and clothing.

"Of course it's still about academics."

Li Yi didn't even think about making games specifically, but after thinking about it, he was a little worried: "You use the computer in the Internet cafe as a server, what will you do after you get off the computer?"

"Then don't get off the plane." Fang Jie smiled slightly, "I'll talk to the manager of the telecommunications business hall directly and pack the machine directly."

Li Yidao: "I can help you with subsequent version upgrades. Even if I go back to school, I can still develop remotely. But what about customer maintenance? Someone has to deal with game currency transactions every day, right?"

Fang Jie pointed at Li Qing: "Isn't this still your sister here? What is there to read in a broken art school? Why don't you come over and be my assistant directly. I'll just ask her to help me before I go to university."

After careful consideration, Li Yi looked at Fang Jie seriously and pointed out: "I have no objection in principle, but once something starts, you must be responsible to the end, otherwise we will not be able to do it as a friend in the future. ."

Fang Jie glanced at Li Qing and said to Li Yi equally seriously: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Looking at the two people who were playing dumb puzzles, Li Qing felt that the matter seemed to be related to her, but she didn't know why, so she just stood aside in a daze.

Li Yi looked relieved, nodded and said: "Okay. Then help you upgrade this game version now? Make it the same as Jing Da Xia Xing Xing?"

Fang Jie shook his head: "No, no, the Jing Da Xia Xing Xing version is not suitable for making money. I have many new ideas. For example, adding a reincarnation system, entering a new map after reincarnation, a cultivation map..."

"Ah, comprehension is the system of cultivating immortals. You can understand it as the MUD of the "Journey to the West" version. In this way, the life of the game will be extended and expanded... In addition to divine equipment, magic weapons, artifacts, forging, gems, synthesis, recycling, Titles, dungeons, arenas, investments, VIPs... and so on, it's all money..."

For a time, Li Yi was stunned and shocked.
