I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 594 - 592 Michel’s Biological Mother

The sudden surge in traffic was so massive that it far exceeded Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua's expectations. They never imagined that Zhang Menglong's influence was so great; by comparison, their own reputations seemed laughable.

"Overtime! Techies, get in right now and work overtime, this quarter's bonuses are doubled!"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi became excited all at once. They had tried the game, and they were willing to bet on their A-cups that anyone who played it would instantly fall madly in love with it.

"200 bucks? Even if the game is trash, I'll take it. What if I win the prize?"

"Even if I don't win, I want to lower the game's chances of winning!"

"If I win the prize, I basically won't need to struggle for the rest of my life!"

"Damn, why hasn't the official website been fixed yet? Ding Sanshi, you little (da)(sha)(bi)."

...

"Gentlemen, your website really can't withstand much, can it? It's about to collapse with just this number of visits?" Zhang Menglong teased.

Exchanging glances, Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua felt helpless; they had never experienced traffic of this magnitude in their time making games.

Under normal circumstances, their official website could easily handle a high volume of traffic, but that was predicated on one condition: that the game's download rate wasn't as high. Because every download request sends information back to the database, this occupies the server's memory.

But who was just logging onto the website to have a look now? Clearly, everyone was here to download the game. As many visits as there were, there were that many downloads. The ratio was close to 90%.

This enormous volume of data traffic had already surpassed the limits of Tengxun and Wangyi, even with players being diverted onto two separate platforms. Otherwise, the whole website would have already crashed.

"How much longer until it's restored?" Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua had already started cursing over the phone, as the situation was embarrassingly out of their hands. "If it's not fixed within half an hour, you technical directors better start writing your resignation letters. Neither Tengxun nor Wangyi will want you!"

"But boss, there's nothing we can do. Our server's processing capability is only so much. Unless we add new servers or computing units to divert and process the load, otherwise..."

"I don't want your excuses; I don't care the cost, just go and solve it now!"

"Ma, why make things difficult for your own people?" Zhang Menglong typed away furiously on the computer before snapping it shut, "Done!"

"Ma! Ma! The server can keep up with the computing load now!"

"That's not right! The data volume hasn't decreased, it's still rising. How is this possible!"

"Someone wrote a plug-in to divert our data, process it, and then send it back. How did they do that?"

"Absolutely impossible! That would require the highest level of access to our server; how could an outsider get that? If it were possible, they could even access our core data!"

Tengxun's technical director was instantly flustered. As their main profit generator, the firewall for their game database was on the same level as those safeguarding their social media data.

In other words, if someone could easily access their game data, they could just as easily get to the social media user data, posing a great threat to the company's security!

Ma Hua glanced at Zhang Menglong.

"No need to look. I did it," Zhang Menglong said with a smile. "Your servers couldn't handle the load, so I gave you a hand. Now that you've got the support of my supercomputer, even a hundred times more registered users could be handled with ease."

"You... when did you write the interface?"

"Just now," Zhang Menglong replied. "It's just a firewall; it took mere seconds to get through."

"This..." Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi instantly broke into a sweat. Zhang Menglong was truly terrifying. If he wanted to attack Tengxun, he wouldn't even need to use money for a takeover. He could just meddle with their database, mess with user data, and the angry users could tear Tengxun down the next day.

"It's a good thing we're partners now, not enemies." This thought painfully struck both Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi at the same time.

...

Having downloaded the game, it was now time to wait for the logistics. That very night, Zhang Menglong got in touch with Meituan to start delivering the first batch of VR devices throughout Jiangnan City.

Because he hadn't anticipated this situation in advance, Zhang Menglong didn't mass-produce VR devices, and now his factory had started to produce continuously day and night, yet currently there were only 500,000 units available.

As for the next batch of devices, it wouldn't be available until at least another week.

So, this batch of prize winners would come from these 500,000 people, and the winning ratio was even frighteningly high!

"Fuck! I got one!"

"Mom and Dad will never have to worry about me not being able to afford a house again!"

"Selling 'Operation Thunder Strike' equipment, 5000 bucks, take it or leave it, turning a ten thousand percent profit and reaching the peak of life is not a dream!"

"Shit, are there scalpers for this too?"

...

The fastest players received their gaming equipment the very next morning after the official game release.

The mechanism for exchanging rewards was very simple. Inside the buildings in the game, there was a chance that a creature called "Michel" would appear, and as long as you shot it dead, there was a chance that it would drop a virtual doll prop called "Michel's Mom."

And those mansions and luxury cars were exchanged for through the "Michel's Mom" prop.

The first player who collected 999 "Michel's Moms" could exchange them for a villa worth 50 million!

This wasn't a time for probability; it had almost become a feat of endurance. As long as you were persistent enough, you could even earn several dozen "Michel's Moms" in a single day. If fast, you could collect 999 in just one month!

Of course, a player could only exchange once, and in active response to the national game addiction prevention system, the daily login time for this game was 8 hours. Once you exceeded the game time, you would be immediately required to log off.

All the players who snatched up the devices started to play this game frantically. Initially, they simply thought it was a means to make a fortune and planned to drop it after the drawing.

But unexpectedly, they found that this game was just too ridiculously well-made. Just such a small device could support such an enormous and high-quality game!

For the first time, they experienced what was called "omni-touch technology"!

With just a pair of VR goggles worth 200, they could almost immerse themselves in the battlefield, an effect that could only be achieved by the gaming helmets and cabins mentioned in those online gaming novels.

Gradually, the first batch of players even forgot that their initial goal was just to freeload those mansions and sports cars!

The most important thing for a game is word of mouth, and at this time, through word-of-mouth, the game's reputation was completely established, and some gaming YouTubers even posted first-person view videos of the game on various sites.

"This game is freaking awesome!"

"PUBG is nothing! Who cares about not being allowed to play on foreign servers? We're ditching our old games; whoever wants to play, let them play!"

"Let's be real, 'Operation Thunder Strike' is simply the benchmark for survival shooter games."

"Can someone tell me who Michel is?"

"Idiot, Michel is the CEO of the company behind the ban. Can't you see this is a counterstrike by our Huaxia game developers against them?"

"168 cm tall, 50 kg, B-cup, with a master's degree or higher, sweet-looking, looking for a boyfriend with a lot of 'Michel's Moms'!"

"I'm 170 cm, 55 kg, D-cup, and a master's degree holder, players with over 300 'Michel's Moms', check this out!"

"No way, sis, can even this be so competitive?"

...
