"Xiao Ai, let's do some inventory before starting the server!"
"OK."
The players who started the server are busy, and Bei Gaoyang is even busier. He is too busy to sit down and drink water to relax with the fallen light angel lady. Some people want to share the burden for him, such as the casters who participated in the design of the 6-layer magic network, but in
Despite Xiao Ai's strong objection, I decided to forget it.
It is necessary to act as a firefighting captain. If there are some design flaws or bugs, Bei Gaoyang will have to discuss them with their designers to figure out the design ideas before prescribing the right solution.
This requires both guarding against others and making use of others. Communication is extremely troublesome. Only the powerful thinking ability, patience and meticulousness of the 8th Ring Archmage can handle such a complicated task.
The server opening day has passed, and the most severe test has also passed. The stumbling operation of the magic network is gradually getting better. The pseudo-gods of the system have gradually become familiar with the 'newly built floor' and know its layout.
How to use it, where is the 'load-bearing wall', how can the activity section be adjusted, what can be simplified, what can be reduced first...etc., it is quick to get started, no need for Bei Gaoyang to care, and the enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high.
After experiencing the unpleasant conversation last time, Xiao Ai's way of getting along with him seemed not to be affected at all, but Bei Gaoyang could still feel that Xiao Ai was more 'cautious' and considered issues more 'comprehensively' before making any decision.
You have to ask him what he means before doing anything. In the past, I was arbitrary about small things and only asked about big things. Now... well, forget it, just be busy when you are busy, and just get through this period of time.
On the second day after opening the server (in reality) and the fourth day in the game, I finally had time to sit down and do an inventory. Bei Gaoyang needed to understand the overall situation of the operation of the magic network and be aware of it.
"...the highest online peak value when the server was launched was 10.47 million people, and the load limit of the Magic Network was also this number. Later, under the conscious control of the system, it never exceeded this limit. The Magic Network withstood the test, with tens of millions of online users
The myth has come true, my lord."
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
"The current stable number of online users is 9.3 million, and this capacity-capacity magic network runs the smoothest. We control it by going online at staggered peaks and forcibly restricting some players who dare not go offline."
"What is the maximum time a player can be online?"
"Old player..."
"Don't talk about them. It's not unusual for them to stay offline for three days and three nights. They are new players and have not been passively strengthened."
"49 hours, any longer will affect their bodies in reality, and their souls will not be able to keep up with such high-intensity...exercise."
"Haha, the movement of the soul is a good description. When the Magic Network was designed, I never thought about strengthening the player's soul. The series of troubles it caused were all caused by this side effect."
"Um"
"Go on."
"The highest level for new players is level 6, and no one has taken up the job yet. The average level is 3.56. 85% of new players have adapted to the narrative, rules and rhythm of the game, and have found methods and experience for mainstream game content and processes. The remaining
About 15% of the new players don’t care much about the mainstream game process, which is the so-called textual research party, casual party, and most of them are in the life and professional categories.”
"These gameplay methods are not bad, and they enrich the game ecology. I remember that in the first few tests, players were very enthusiastic about DIY. Later, the system implemented forced guidance and regulations, which suppressed this momentum. In the past, resources were tight.
, it is no longer necessary now... tilt it appropriately to provide more support for the gameplay of these contents and encourage them to explore and develop."
"I'm afraid that this kind of exploration and development is aimed at the system and us."
"Haha, is there anyone else looking for you, the central intelligence?"
"...It happens every day, and it happens now."
"Look for it, let them find it, haha..."
"135 agents..."
"Wait a minute, isn't it 138?"
"I have already reported this to you. Three agents have serious violations of regulations and disciplines, and their A2 permissions have been revoked."
"Uh...I forgot...In this case, don't beat people to death with a stick, give them a chance. It's not easy for every agent..."
"But offline, Canaan Company has canceled cooperation with them."
"...Then forget it!"
"Sir, the behavior of some agents is really too much. They are not here to cooperate, they are here to cause trouble. It is easy to understand that players find loopholes in the system. They have many tricks to exploit loopholes. The system rules are not for them.
It is just a piece of waste paper, and it also opens a back door to provide some players with help that undermines the balance of the game. It also sells the system’s intelligence, attacks the normal operations of other agents, and lures players from other agents to join their camp... I really want to
Take away all their authority."
"You can't do this!" Bei Gaoyang shook his head with a smile. "I don't feel bad for you, because I haven't experienced the hardships of starting a business. Pies fall from the world, so I don't know how to cherish them. Wait for them to get clues from the game."
With huge benefits both online and offline, this behavior will converge.”
"I doubt it."
"Then let's wait and see, little love, you have to remember that brute force is always the lowest-level solution to problems. Using interests to guide and use interests to connect each other is the most labor-saving and strongest solution. Agents
The reason for the confusion is that they don’t understand or don’t feel deeply enough about the preciousness of A2-level authority, including Canaan’s parent company.”
"I have never doubted the greatness of the Ley Line."
"No, it's not the greatness that you understand and imagine, but... forget it, let's leave everything to time... Agents can skip it for now, haven't they opened the national server yet? If there are any problems, we will talk about them later and solve them slowly."
"Okay... the tens of millions of online connections bring soul power measured in trillions, and the huge system surplus has even affected the normal operation of the Magic Network... Sir, the Magic Network has a 'weight'."
"This is the best news I've heard in the past few days... The Magic Network finally has quality, haha, good, good!"
"I suggest opening up an elemental plane exclusive to the Magic Network? Where is your consciousness?"
"Open, just like the real elemental plane, a pool to store water, the bigger the better."
"The soul power needs to be purified and classified."
"Just refer to the classification of magic elements. I suspect that the original magic came from this."
"Okay... the faith value has officially exceeded one million levels, but it is mixed and impure. No matter how many of these pan-faiths there are, they will not be of much help to the system. Sir, now is the time to strive for excellence."
Speaking of faith, it is related to the core interests of the false gods of the system. The vision of becoming a god is there. It is Xiao Ai who is so dedicated and hard-working, taking care of players like a big nanny. Isn’t it because of
Is this vision laid out in front of you?
As the saying goes, the price of growth.
Maybe Xiao Ai was very innocent at the beginning, positioning herself as an assistant, but with the promotion of Magic Network, her "heart" also improved step by step with the promise of Magic Network and Bei Gaoyang, and now with the
She said that she could give up being a god and become an assistant with An Xin. Can she agree with that?
cannot!
Although Xiao Ai and the false gods of the system are digital beings, they already have all the characteristics, desires, and ideals of intelligent life. What intelligent life can escape from it?
Desire is a good thing. Desire is the driving force for people to move forward. Correctly positioning yourself, seeing the situation clearly, and making reasonable choices will test everyone's wisdom.
Take Bei Gaoyang himself as an example. He seems to be very talkative, but doesn’t he have some negative feelings that he cannot offend?
Many of the sighs were just fleeting thoughts. Bei Gaoyang pretended not to hear Xiao Ai's vague dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "A million-level faith? Is it a reserve?"
"Yes."
"It's troublesome. How should I use so many faith points? Is it enough to resist the erosion of the abyss?"
"The abyss is only a part. It should be the erosion of the mysterious rules. Sir, the magic network is being recognized step by step, which also means that it is interpreted step by step and mysteriously accommodated. It has become a part of the mystery. No amount of faith can resist it.
.”
"That's right, haha, don't be so serious, be more relaxed, the situation is not a small good, but a great one."
"How are you going to deal with the abyss within the system?"
"This... let's use it as a cesspool first, and we'll talk about it later."
"Players' beliefs are too mixed. There is not a single one that is qualified. Many imaginations and definitions of the system, the Magic Network, and the Canaan game are in serious conflict. The Magic Network bears everything. In such a mixed and chaotic belief of all living beings,
To find a balance in the collection, one-third of the power consumption will be wasted in this aspect. Even if you are considering saving system resources, you should also give some guidance to the players on the correct understanding of Canaan and the Magic Network... Unify the mind, it is very easy
It's important, sir."
After going around and around, the topic returned to this sensitive area. Xiao Ai seemed to be determined this time, and she must get a precise explanation from him.
Unify players’ thinking?
How to unify?
Even if the Jade Emperor, Patriarch Bodhi, and God Jesus come, they will not be able to unify.
But what Xiao Ai said is right. It’s time to make some attempts in this area. We don’t require uniformity. There is an officially defined universal concept for players to understand, which will also help improve this situation.
In fact, this universal concept has been around for a long time, and it is Second Life, the home of the spirit and soul.
But it’s not enough. It has always been China itself that is ‘bragging’, and it has not yet been widely recognized, especially the agents’ unified propaganda caliber.
It is difficult to say whether it is difficult to get the full cooperation of the agents, but it is not easy to say easy. It is also a matter of how much benefit Canaan can bring to them.
That's why Bei Gaoyang was sensitive to the disqualification of those agents and was particularly tolerant of the many small actions they took. Unity and cooperation were far better than confrontation and cunning. There was no need to waste energy, time and resources on fighting with them.
Courage to the top.
After going around and around, he returned to the agent. Bei Gaoyang patiently told Xiao Ai his opinion.
Xiao Ai was silent for a while, "Agent..."
"An agent is a country's official, it is a population base of millions or tens of millions, and it is what percentage of the system it accounts for."
"Okay, I understand, I will adjust it for them."
"Then let's continue."
"System Abyss..."
"Leave it for now and talk about it later."
Xiao Ai is very concerned about the existence of this cesspool. The abyss in the system, as the name suggests, is naturally not under the control of her and the pseudo-gods of the system. Strictly speaking, it has an antagonistic relationship with them. The reason is very simple, forming an 'abyss'.
'Isn't the main reason because players can't use the 'aggregation of the will of all living beings'?
Since it cannot be used by them after the system transformation, it has been on the opposite side of them from the beginning. It is still just a prototype now, and it may actually develop into a stronghold to 'oppose' them in the future.
Bei Gaoyang had already anticipated this situation.
Again, if there is good, there must be a negative, if there is a system of gods, there must be a system of demons, and if there is a mountain of heaven, there must be an abyss. These are two sides of the same coin. Canaan cannot escape, and neither can the earth, and the same is true of the magic network.
The magic network already has quality, and if it has quality, it has a "shadow". Instead of this "shadow" growing out of control, it is better to do it yourself.
Of course, there is no need to tell Xiao Ai and the others this.
"The following is a summary of various situations in the mainstream game process, which is very complicated."
Bei Gaoyang adjusted his sitting posture, just as the Fallen Light Angel came back from shopping in Xiaomoyuan, he asked her to sit next to him, listening to her excited chatter, while he and Xiao Ai took stock of the most tedious summary.
Generally speaking, this test did not make much adjustments to the content and processes of mainstream games. The biggest changes to Magic Network are agents, national servers and partitions.
Without major adjustments, there will be no major losses, which proves that the foundation of the Magic Network is complete. All we have to do in the future is to add bricks and tiles on this basis.
Up to the 9th floor.
9 layers of magic net...
Bei Gaoyang seemed to see a miraculous pyramid entering the capping stage of the superstructure. It was so majestic, so strict, and so all-encompassing that it could not be defined by the realm of the Kingdom of God. If it could be capped smoothly, it would be capped.
That moment may be the moment when a fundamental leap occurs, skipping level 9 and becoming a legend, or it may become a mysteriously recognized 'universal rule' that no longer needs to be maintained artificially.
The Magic Network will have its own vitality, and this vitality is shared with Bei Gaoyang. The Magic Network belongs to him, but not all of his belongs to the Magic Network. What a clever idea, this is from the first level.
Burying the 'Program Core' is the foundation of the Magic Network, the foundation within the foundation!
By that time, will the 9-ring Archmage still be a thing? What does the legendary barrier mean? What can the gods do to him?
The 9-layer magic network is an invincible place. As long as he does not commit suicide, he can escape from the repeated ending and reincarnation for thousands of years... That is another realm.
With such a vision in front of them, Xiao Ai and the others are struggling and caring about the little thoughts and calculations of the agents. What are they?
Bei Gaoyang's core interests are not in these.
To put it to the extreme, what if the entire Magic Network is handed over to them in the future?
By that time, Bei Gaoyang had already transcended.
