Chapter 530 Ten million

  In-game.

  Shadow Valley.

  Jiang Lun was stunned for a while looking at the players all over the mountains and plains.

   After a long period of mental construction, I finally recovered.

   But let’s be honest.

  Although I really want to complain, but you said that seeing so many players, you just feel outrageous and want to complain, that is a lie.

   One of the most important attributes of MMORPG is also social interaction.

   For online games like this, the more people play, the more excited most players will be.

   Few players will feel uncomfortable because there are too many people in online games.

  Because where are the attributes of online games.

   There is a situation that will give many players a headache.

   That is some buyout games, such as "Rainbow Six" in Lin Yao's previous life, when they are free.

  Because too many new players flood in, the original ecology will be broken, and the entire game environment will be hit.

   At this time, there are too many players, so it is not a good thing.

  It's like Lin Yao playing ten games of "Rainbow Six" and killing a teammate... This is not a good experience for teammates and opponents.

  But this situation cannot be applied to "World of Warcraft". After all, the game is only in public beta, players are all on the same starting line, and the ecology has not yet been established.

   let alone broken.

  Now there are a little more people in "World of Warcraft", but it's lively!

  In addition to complaining, Jiang Lun was actually quite excited to see so many players.

  So, Jiang Lun smiled, and quickly cheered up. He also jumped on the spot, familiarized himself with the operation, and ran to the NPC with an exclamation mark not far away.

  The name of the NPC is 'Administrator Ilsaline'.

  Jiang Lun squeezed through a group of players, then clicked on the NPC, and received his first mission in the game.

  The initial task is called "Natural Balance", and there is no long story to explain the background of the story.

   is very simple.

  The entire task description can be briefly summarized as follows—because of the continuous spring rains this year, some animals in Shadow Valley have over-reproduced. For the sake of natural balance, the number of some animals needs to be reduced.

  The mission requirement is to require players to kill seven leopard cubs and four wild boar cubs.

simple and clear.

   After Jiang Lun received the task, he became familiar with his druid skills.

   Active output skills, only one [anger].

   After reading the introduction,

  Jiang Lun immediately turned his head and couldn't wait to try it.

have to say.

  The home of the night elves, it's really beautiful.

   Even if it is the birth point.

  Undulating hilly landforms, when the perspective is zoomed in, every time you go to a high point, you can see different scenery.

  Get closer, and you can see the green grass on the ground, and the small crimson or lavender flowers hidden in the straight grass.

   And a little further away, you can see the towering giant trees and the low trees with red and purple leaves.

   Looking around, the main color of the entire map is always purple, against the backdrop of light and shadow.

  The eye-catching scenery is just like the night elves, full of mystery.

certainly.

   All of the above.

   You have to ignore the players to feel...

  Because there are really too many people.

   No matter how beautiful the picture is, plus a bunch of players bouncing around like the ground is burning their feet, it will become very sandy.

and.

  Jiang Lun realized a very serious problem...

   Although the task is for him to kill wild boar and leopard cubs.

   But if you look around, where are the wild boars and leopards—oh, you can see one occasionally, but when you almost refresh, you will be surrounded by a bunch of people.

   It disappeared almost instantly.

  Because no one knows how to play.

  Jiang Lun witnessed with his own eyes, a wild boar cub spawned.

  Then seven or eight green rays of anger skills flew over.

   And wait for the wild boar to fall to the ground.

   A bunch of players immediately surrounded him excitedly.

   See who has the right to pick up monster drops.

   Just like locusts...

  It's just horrible...

at the same time.

  On the integrated channel.

  The words sent by the players are scrolling crazily.

   "Fuck! Don't **** the wild boar! It seems that I was the first to hit it! How come I got closer and saw that it wasn't me!"

   "Pig! I'm only one head short! Give me some face! Don't grab it!"

   "The scenery is so beautiful..."

   "Ah—what idiot is jumping off a building!?"

  Jiang Lun: "..."

  The corner of his mouth twitched.

  Jiang Lun glanced at his mission and thought of the natural balance that the NPC just said.

   I really can't help but complain.

  This NM is called natural balance! ?

  Boars and leopards are almost extinct, right?

  Jiang Lun was a little dumbfounded.

  Before, he read some online game novels, saying that Xinshou Village wanted to hunt monsters, and he thought it was a bit outrageous.

   But today.

  He has personally experienced that when the number of players reaches a certain level, the novice monsters really want to grab...

  Jiang Lun sighed a little, and then joined the monster-hunting queue.

  Start to battle wits with other players.

   But it is really too difficult.

   But it’s okay.

  Probably Linmu Workshop also knew the current situation. After fighting for a while, Jiang Lun clearly realized that the spawning speed of novice monsters had become faster.

   Then, when he was performing a small theater in his brain just now, many players with clear goals had already completed the novice tasks, diverting some people away.

  So although the novice monster still has to grab it.

   But he was done anyway.

  Jiang Lun killed the last leopard cub, and immediately rushed back to the original NPC like the wind, handed in the old task, and then received the new task.

   Then, Jiang Lun walked a few steps according to the prompt.

   found the destination of the new mission - Aldrassil.

   On the thick tree trunk like a giant, the house is built in midair. Outside the house, there are light white stairs spiraling up to the top floor.

   There are still many players here.

  Countless players are running around on the light white stairs, and there are sand sculptures performing somersaults on it...

  The corner of Jiang Lun's mouth twitched again, and then turned over again... before walking up the stairs.

  Long, wide, light white stairs seem to have no end.

  Go up to the first floor.

  The scenery has changed.

   His sight suddenly opened up.

  Jiang Lun couldn't help but stop.

  The violet-colored roof hidden in the jungle mist appeared before his eyes. Nearby were the curved and elegant corner arches, while in the distance, huge tree trunks blocked the sky and were shrouded in misty mist.

   Really beautiful!

  Jiang Lun looked at the distance and couldn't help but stop at the same time.

   Suddenly an idea popped up, he wanted to put the matter of leveling aside for a while, and wanted to go and have a look around first!

  The name of this game is "World of Warcraft".

  The focus is on 'world'.

  From the current point of view, the quality of the game is really worthy of the word world.

   At least he was impressed by the race of night elves he had chosen, and where they lived.

  Even if it was just Teldrassil, he could feel the unique culture of the night elves, and even had an elegant and mysterious impression of the night elves as a whole.

  Is it the same in other places?

  Jiang Lun was suddenly curious.

   But soon.

  He was interrupted by the sand sculpture player.

  A player suddenly jumped down from the top of the stairs, performing a leap of faith.

   "What kind of sand sculpture is this!"

  Jiang Lun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After cursing, he withdrew his gaze and continued to find the quest NPC Druid Trainer.

  Then submitted the task of 'Green Symbol'.

   Next

  The skill learning panel is picked up.

  Druids seem to be divided into factions, balance the three skills of the faction, and restore the two skills of the faction.

  Jiang Lun carefully looked at the skill description, and then learned a mark of the beast that can be learned so far, and then looked at the scenery for a while, then went down to kill wild boars and leopards.

Yes.

  'Natural Balance' has a follow-up task.

   But this time instead of killing cubs, they killed adult leopards and wild boars.

   After killing the small ones, kill the big ones.

   It's crazy!

   By the number of current players.

  It's really going to be extinct...

  Jiang Lun complained again, and then wandered around while avoiding places with many players.

  While looking for wild monsters, enjoy the scenery by the way.

  He wasn't impatient, it was a surprise to have monsters, and he was very happy to see the scenery without monsters.

  Because new discoveries can be made every time, and new scenery can be seen as you walk!

  The map is huge.

   But the details are everywhere!

   And for the first time, he also felt the gap between Tianhu and Linmu Studio.

  Tianhu... It's not unfair to lose.

  He is also considered a veteran player of "Shen Ge", but this feeling that made him give up on completing the task quickly in the early stage, whether playing "Shen Ge" or playing other MMORPGs under Tianhu, has never occurred.

   "It's so beautiful..."

  Jiang Lun stood still, then adjusted his angle of view to look at the surrounding scenery for a while.

   Just finished sighing.

  A rambunctious nightsaber has been spawned next to it.

  He immediately withdrew his mind, and came up with a note of 'anger'...

  Jiang Lun stopped and stopped like this, spent half an hour, finally killed enough monsters, and ran to submit the task.

   Then, he finally reached the third level.

  Jiang Lun returned to Aldassil, the most spectacular building in Shadow Valley, according to the mission reminder.

   Only this time, instead of going up the pale white stairs to find the druid trainer, he came to the first floor.

   Walk onto the platform.

  Then, the semi-enclosed space under the trunk and the living tree appeared in front of his eyes.

   It was an open hall with a very high dome.

   And go further inside, there is still a hole in the sky.

  The night elves even opened a room inside the trunk. The ground is the stump, and the tree rings on it are clearly visible.

  Jiang Lun looked at this scene and suddenly thought of Elder Dekushu in "The Legend of Zelda".

   "Did they really make a world?"

  Jiang Lun turned around, and then talked to a few NPCs, and his desire to go around to see the scenery became stronger.

  He thought about it, found an NPC, sold the materials dropped by killing monsters, and then bought a set of 'cool spring water' and three or four 'bean soup'.

  Then went directly to pick up the task.

   Just do what you say.

  He is going to visit Shadow Valley first.

  This time, Jiang Lun received two missions. One mission was 'good friend', which required him to find a friend for the NPC near the cave in the north of Shadow Valley, and the other mission was 'Forest Guardian', which required him to find the Dryad.

   On the way, he received another task of 'bring back the poisonous sac of the forest spider'.

  Three tasks require him to go out.

   This is exactly what Jiang Lun meant.

  So after finishing everything, he immediately embarked on the journey excitedly.

   On the way.

  Jiang Lun opened the map and looked at it, and found that the Shadow Valley he was in, not to mention the world map, even on Teldrassil, was just a corner...

  He didn't know where the goal of the mission was, so he began to explore the map centered on the village of Aldassil.

  After the village.

  Jiang Lun saw a moon-white small lake. The lake was rippling, and the silver light like snowflakes sprinkled on the water.

  While the water is clear, it is so deep that the bottom of the lake cannot be seen.

  In the north, Jiang Lun went all the way, found the NPC of the good friend mission, and also found a map named Heishi Cave.

   Players come in and out.

   At the entrance of the cave, several head-sized spiders were on their feet, and the corpses seemed to have not had time to refresh.

  After entering the black silk cave, the passages extend in all directions.

  Although it is just a picture of a novice village, it has a sense of depth that is not found in the main cities of many games of the same type.

  Jiang Lun robbed monsters with a group of players here, then completed the task of 'bring back the poison sac of the forest spider', and learned the new skill Moonfire.

   During the period, he met the NPC of the task of "Forest Guardian"...

  Jiang Lun is like this, while sightseeing, while upgrading, while completing tasks.

   ran the entire Shadow Valley.

   Then, after finally receiving the task of leaving the village, he impatiently followed the path of Shadow Valley and walked out of Shadow Valley in the valley.

   Start looking for more surprises and scenery!

   And searched and searched, and finally... he didn't even care about the task.

  Southeast of Shadow Valley, Jiang Lun saw the once peaceful Starwind Village, which is now the lair of furbolgs. Although there are many monsters, the gazebo in the middle of the village is still bathed in the eternal moonlight, and the scenery is beautiful.

  Going forward, he saw Dolannar, a night elf village located in the middle of the island. In the moonwell of Dolannar, clear blue light floated and drifted like dense smoke.

Going forward and going up, above the island is a place called Oracle Woodland, where the trees are dense and taller and taller, and nearby, there is a place called Yongquan River Estuary, where there is a waterfall, Jiang Lun stayed there for a while, looking at the purple water splashed by the waterfall, looking at the curvy root system on the ground of different thicknesses, covering all the surface space, and sighed.

   Then, back to the main road.

  Going along the main road, Jiang Lun saw the largest and most spectacular city of the night elves, located on the branches of Teldrassil, the capital hidden in the towering giant tree-Darnassus!

it's here.

   It was the first time that Jiang Lun felt that his fantasy was so close to him. The moment he saw the city, he directly exclaimed.

   "Fuck!"

   Then, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he ran around, and then sighed frequently as he looked at the city that was integrated with nature.

Yes.

  He left all the missions behind, and when he walked out of Shadow Valley, he temporarily put aside the missions and only cared about sightseeing.

   And the end of this sightseeing trip.

  Jiang Lun is really satisfied.

   Along the way, it's really great!

   While sighing, Jiang Lun walked around Darnassus, the capital of the night elves, and talked to NPCs.

   And this time, he has almost opened the map of the entire night elf residence, and he also understands the map of Teldrassil.

   Throughout Teldrassil, Darnassus occupies the west.

   And several smaller cities scattered in the forest.

   There are all kinds of terrain, streams and large lakes...

  This place is shrouded in purple mist all year round, locked in the eternal dawn.

  The night elves living here have their own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources.

"World of Warcraft…"

Standing in the center of the capital Danasu, Jiang Lun looked around and said with emotion: "It really is the 'world'! Fuck!! This is still a race of night elves, does this mean that cities of other races will also Like the city of the night elves? Has a different scenery, different culture, beliefs, and political system?"

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help opening the map and looking at it.

   Teldrassil, where the night elves live, is just an island.

   On the other side of the sea of ​​mist that isolates the island, there is a new continent - Kalimdor.

   Look at the world map.

   Think of the sightseeing trip I just had.

  Jiang Lun's heart became more and more fiery.

  He wants to see other cities! I want to see the 'World of Warcraft' which is still a cloud of fog!

  He wants to go to Stormwind City to see the capital of mankind, and wants to see Ironforge that appeared in the promotional video!

  Even tribal cities, he wants to visit, such as the hometown of Alsace!

   All in all, he wants to explore this 'world'!

   Very strong!

   "It's burning!"

  Jiang Lun really ignited, he glanced at the mission log, then turned around and ran away.

  He is ready to end his sightseeing and go to complete the tasks left behind.

  He wants to upgrade!

  In Lin Yao's previous life, Darnassus, known as one of the most memorable cities of Warcraft, stimulated him.

  The main city of night elves with its own culture, political system, language, beliefs and resources left a deep impression on him.

   And then made him interested in the whole "World of Warcraft".

  And the entire 'World of Warcraft' is still mysterious and unknown to him.

   This represents a huge surprise!

  Unknown and huge world, it feels like an epic story is coming!

  Jiang Lun wants to create his own epic!

"I can't go back! I really can't go back! I just bought a one-year point card! The night elf Darnassus! It's really awesome! Damn it! Why didn't Linmu Studio make an MMORPG earlier? what!"

   At this time.

   Jiang Lun, who was going out, suddenly passed by several players.

Then.

  On the integrated channel, such a sentence suddenly popped up.

  Jiang Lun saw it, smiled, stopped, then quickly coded a sentence and sent it to the integrated channel—"Linmu Studio is awesome!!"

   And this sentence has just been sent out.

   It seems that many players have seen it.

   And quite agree.

   So next second.

  The other players swiped their screens.

  Comprehensive channel.

  It's all the same sentence.

   "Linmu Studio is awesome!!"

  …

at the same time.

North America.

   Ohio.

   "shit!"

  Sibulon sighed and walked into Stormwind City.

  On the only passage leading to Stormwind City.

  The statues of heroes stand on both sides of the road, as if greeting and warning visitors.

   Then, enter the largest human city in Azeroth.

  Sibulon is also like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She can't take care of the tasks, and begins to appreciate the largest human city in "World of Warcraft".

   The very center of Stormwind City is the trade zone.

  Half of the city's banks, auction houses, and local griffon keeper are located here.

  The east side of the trade area is the old town, the west side is the mage area, the east side is the dwarf area, and the north is the church square.

  The entire city is divided into areas in an orderly manner, separated by canals and connected by bridges.

  Siblon ran all over the city, and finally stopped at the Church Square.

  Like Jiang Lun, his first thought was to visit other regions.

   I have a strong interest in this unknown and huge world.

   "I have a hunch."

  Sibulon controlled the perspective and looked into the distance: "Other games of the same type are worse. Even I, a single-player player, has become very interested in the game after entering the game, let alone those MMORPG players.

  Linmu Studio’s preparation for this game is really great..."

  Thoughts here.

  Sibulon suddenly thought of his good brother Mark, who worked in the game media, and was a little curious.

  He cuts out of the game, finds Mark, and texts him: "Hey buddy, how much are you going to rate World of Warcraft?"

   "Why are you here too? How long has the game been in public beta? The score hasn't been determined yet, and it's still arguing."

   Mark's reply came quickly.

   "Because someone doesn't like this game?" Sibulon continued to ask curiously.

Mark: "That's not true, mainly because our editor-in-chief is a **** MMORPG player, and he insists on giving the game ten points now, and wants us to give ten points and corresponding reviews right away, right now...Damn it! We just played it Four hours of gameplay! He wants us to review it!"

  Siblon: "…"

  …

   Today.

  After "World of Warcraft" was launched, the number of concurrent online users has been steadily increasing.

   And that night, the domestic prime time.

  The total number of servers in all regions of "World of Warcraft" and the number of people online at the same time finally officially exceeded 10 million!

   At this time, it is less than twelve hours before the game's public beta...

   Seeing this number, Lin Yao didn't feel anything but happy.

  Because in her previous life, at the peak of "World of Warcraft", there were 13 million players online at the same time, and it was not counted as the national server.

   It has only exceeded 10 million now.

  The numbers are still going up.

   No need to make a fuss.

but.

   It's just for her.

  For the staff inside Linmu Studio.

  This result... can be called groundbreaking.

   After all, this game is only open beta!

  So the staff of Linmu Studio are very excited.

   And for my peers... not so good.

  Linmu Studio, at 9 o'clock sharp, sent out a screenshot of "World of Warcraft" with more than 10 million simultaneous online users.

   And nine past one.

  Li Guangsheng hugged his head and began to howl...

   And on the screen in front of him, "World of Warcraft" was playing.

  The tauren he created is standing stupidly at the gate of Mulgore, the capital of the tauren.

  Actually, for him, it is good that "World of Warcraft" has more than 10 million simultaneous online users. After all, Linmu Studio has a good reputation, and he has returned to the field of online games after a long absence. With such achievements, he can accept it.

  If the seven-day retention rate of the game does not come out for one day, he can lie to himself, saying that the data will drop sharply after seven days.

   But the problem is—

  He played a game.

  After working as a tauren in Thunder Bluff for half a day, he deeply realized the gap between his MMORPG and "World of Warcraft", which is why he hugged his head and wailed.

   Really can't beat it!

  I can’t even lie to myself!

  Beside Li Guangsheng,

  Mou Feng was also silent.

  He also played the game, and was hit hard, so he can only say that he is willing to bow down.

  So this time, he really doesn't know what to say.

   I don’t know how to cheat... I’m so young to comfort myself.

at last.

   Hold back for a long time.

  He could only pat Li Guangsheng on the shoulder, and choked out a sentence: "Why don't you play "Diablo" to calm down?"

"-roll!!"

  Li Guangsheng collapsed instantly!

   Fuck!

   Killing people is not so ruthless, is it? ?

   While the double is still there, ask for some monthly tickets...
