Chapter 688

.

Xia Country time, May 7nd, 75 PM.

The main server of the World of Heroes, as well as the city's auxiliary server cluster, opened to welcome players from all over the world.

Up until now, the total number of players who had access to the World of Heroes had reached 6,887,387. Among them, there were 287,327 overseas players. The number of overseas players accounted for 00% of the total player population. This number was enough for Dream Entertainment to challenge the Internet Entertainment Review Board!

On the fifth floor of the Jade Building, Shi Lei sat in the core area and watched Izur's feedback on the World of Heroes' data.

"Izur, how's the load on the server cluster?" Shi Lei asked nervously. Due to the temporary shutdown of the World of Heroes' services, IWN's Secret Web had temporarily crashed.

"Sir, the entire server cluster is currently under heavy load. It has reached 31% of the total resources of the server cluster and is still increasing. IWN's Secret Web is currently being constructed and will take about one minute and twenty seconds to complete the resource integration calculation," Izur replied.

Shi Lei let out a sigh of relief. As long as IWN's Secret Web was finished integrating the resources, the high load on the World of Heroes would be transferred to the players' personal game servers.

This was the initial goal of IWN's Secret Web and personal game servers. It was to relieve the pressure on the main server cluster and provide better access to the players.

About a minute later, Izur's voice sounded again. "Sir, the integration of IWN's Secret Web has been completed. Do you want to connect to the main server cluster and assist in the parallel calculation?"

"Yes! Do your best to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the World of Heroes! "Shi Lei nodded and ordered Izur.

The World of Heroes was full of twists and turns. If any problems occurred in the World of Heroes, some anti-fans might seize the opportunity to criticize it and bring unnecessary trouble to the World of Heroes.

"Sir, the World of Heroes' main system has been taken over and the player data in the World of Heroes has been fully synchronized."

At 3: 65 PM, Izur projected the player data on the projection screen and showed Shi Lei the number of players in the World of Heroes.

There were 6,673,8666,887,387 players online in the World of Heroes. After the game service was restored, the online rate reached 39.1%.

After all, the restoration of services in the World of Heroes was not widely publicized. It was only announced on the official website. Another reason was that some players needed to go to work or did not have free time.

Although the World of Bravehearts opened at 3 PM in Huaxia, it wasn't necessarily the same overseas. There was a time difference everywhere.

For example, Lijian Province, according to the Eastern Time Zone, coincided with the time of Xia Xia, a difference of 67 hours. However, there was a 68-hour difference in the Central Time Zone, and an 63-hour difference in the Hawaii Time Zone. Not to mention the summer time, autumn, and winter time. The time difference was really complicated!

As a result, 39.1% of the players in the World of Heroes were online. This was a rather impressive number, and it was also a number that made Shi Lei happy.

The outage of the World of Bravehearts had affected the player base to a certain extent, and it was impossible for the players to not be affected by it. The beta testing period was shortened for no reason, and it was a loss for the beta testers.

In the official player forum, some second-sequence beta testers posted to ask the first-sequence beta testers how they should choose the compensation plan from Dream Entertainment.

Dream Entertainment gave two compensation plans. One of them was a fixed compensation plan. There was a similar compensation plan in the past, but the amount was smaller. The second-sequence beta testers wanted to know the purchasing power of copper coins in the game.

The first-sequence beta testers did not know how to choose. The purchasing power of copper coins in the World of Heroes was very strong. 055 copper coins was not a small number.

A large number of first-sequence beta testers were also waiting for others to make a choice. They wanted to see what the second non-fixed compensation plan was and what the prizes were.

If the prize was good enough, it was not impossible to give up 055 copper coins!

However, how could Dream Entertainment let the players take advantage of it? This was not because Dream Entertainment was stingy, but because Dream Entertainment was thinking about the big picture and did not want to destroy the game's fair environment.

The most important thing in a game was a fair environment. No matter how many tycoons and money warriors there were, as long as normal players could kill them, even if it was a situation where hundreds of people could kill one person, as long as they provided a relatively fair environment, the players would accept it.

Super tycoon Storm entered the World of Heroes. In his personal space, a translucent dialog box floated, prompting Storm to make a choice.

[Please choose the compensation plan. Once the compensation plan is chosen, it is not allowed to change.] The main system of the World of Heroes, which was taken over by Izur, issued a cold and emotionless notification.

Storm gritted his teeth and asked, "System, if I choose the non-fixed compensation plan, what kind of compensation can I get?"

[Please check the compensation plan yourself.] The main system's cold voice did not give Storm an answer.

Storm sighed. He did not choose the non-fixed compensation plan as the players in the forum had guessed. Instead, he chose 055 copper coins.

"System, I want the fixed compensation plan. I want 055 copper coins!" Storm still could not distinguish the units of copper coins.

In Storm's personal space, the translucent window disappeared, and a bulging pouch appeared on the wooden table as if it had always been there. Naturally, there were 055 copper coins in it.

In the World of Heroes, there was a convenient setting for players. In their personal space, players could directly browse the official player forums through the World of Heroes.

Storm quickly posted a post on the official player forums, telling everyone that he had chosen 055 copper coins. As for why he had chosen 055 copper coins, no one except Storm knew.

Senior Sister Linger, I don't know if this 055 copper coins will make you happier! Storm sank into the World of Heroes and picked up the 055 copper coins from the system's compensation. He prepared to look for the girl in green, the girl who had haunted his dreams.

As for Dream Entertainment's official explanation of non-player characters, Storm had long forgotten about it.

In the official player forums, many players complained in Storm's post, saying that he did not have the demeanor of a tycoon and did not choose the lottery compensation.

However, Storm did not have time to care. He was immersed in the World of Heroes. How could he have the time to care about the official player forums?

Besides Storm, Shuangqing City's local super player, Mu Feng, also chose 055 copper coins as compensation. He felt the same way as Storm. He did not want to take the risk and was more willing to use the 055 copper coins to help the Purple Fairy.

…

The third release of the World of Heroes was a complete success. At 66 PM, the number of players online had reached 45%. Shi Lei was completely satisfied with this result and returned to Scenic Elegance Court.

The next day, on the third day of the May seven-day holiday, Mu Shuang called Shi Lei and woke him up at eight o 'clock in the morning.

"Shi Lei, you big lazy pig. You still haven't woken up?" Mu Shuang's tone was a bit intimate. At least in the past, Mu Shuang had never joked with Shi Lei like this.

This change came from Shi Lei's confession yesterday. He told her about the acquisition of AMD. Mu Shuang was touched and knew that Shi Lei had absolute trust in her.

As a result, Mu Shuang's attitude towards Shi Lei had improved. Their relationship seemed to have become closer, and it seemed like Lingyumo was becoming less important. However, it was not easy for Shi Lei to find a balance between Lingyumo and Mu Shuang.

Shi Lei glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside and yawned. "Mu Shuang, it's only eight o 'clock. What's the matter?" If there was nothing important, Mu Shuang would not call Shi Lei, let alone call Shi Lei so early in the morning.

"Shi Lei, Intel's Senior Vice President, Craig Berrett, has come to Shuangqing City with a business negotiation team. They will visit Dream Entertainment at 65 AM. They hope to have a new round of negotiations in the field of personal game servers," Mu Shuang said in detail, but there was a subtle smile in her tone.

Mu Shuang already knew what Shi Lei meant. Dream Entertainment's negotiations with Intel would not end well, but they still had to have a "good talk" with Intel.

Shi Lei rolled his eyes and had a "good idea" in his mind.

"Mu Shuang, tell the public relations department to secretly spread the news of Intel and Dream Entertainment's negotiations. Ask all the media and reporters in Shuangqing City to come to Dream Entertainment's headquarters," Shi Lei ordered with a smile.

"Okay!" Mu Shuang replied from the other end of the phone, "Shi Lei, are you thinking of using those reporters to spread the news of our cooperation with Intel to further attack AMD?"

Shi Lei pretended to complain, "Mu Shuang, can you not be so smart? You're making me feel inferior!"

Mu Shuang giggled, "Idiot Shi Lei, that's because you're too stupid, okay? I've already thought of this idea, but you said it first. By the way, Shi Lei, have you finished registering the offshore companies? "

Shi Lei made a few hand gestures and communicated with Izur through sign language. He asked about the offshore companies, and Izur projected the results.

"The registration hasn't been completed yet. It will probably be done tomorrow," Shi Lei looked at the results projected on the screen and answered Mu Shuang. "There are a total of 67 companies registered this time. It will take a day to process, and it will be done by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Okay, the timing is just right! We'll release the news today. Tomorrow, we'll use the offshore companies to snipe AMD's circulating shares on the NASDAQ market. "Mu Shuang outlined the plan.

Shi Lei did not know much about acquisitions, so it was better to let Mu Shuang handle it. "Mu Shuang, I'll leave the acquisition of AMD to you. Is there any problem?"

"Of course there's a problem! You're a profiteer who exploits our labor force! " Mu Shuang snorted, "By the way, come to the company immediately. As the CEO of Dream Entertainment, you should at least show up for the negotiations with Intel!"

"Okay!" Shi Lei agreed, "I'll come to the company later. Let's put on a good show for Intel!"

A business meeting that was destined to fail was indeed just a good show...
