King from scratch

He Xingwen has no specific concept of numbers in units of [-] million, just like Huaguo has such a large population, but he has never felt that the city is congested to the point of being congested. The population is not a big problem, so if it is replaced by a kingdom with [-] or [-] million players, it will not cause the order of the kingdom to collapse, right?

Of course, out of reason and understanding of the size of numbers, He Xingwen is still very clear that this unit represents an astronomical number.

So he made a lot of preparations for this, including consuming all the energy he had saved to revive NPCs, using the tops of the mountains, the endless forest, and the territories of the Arcane Academy, etc., to disperse the huge pressure brought by the huge numbers as much as possible. the behavior of.

But he obviously didn't understand the concept of a unit of [-] million, and he didn't understand why Huaguo, with a population of more than one billion, could still operate smoothly.

Therefore, something unexpected but reasonable happened. On the first day of the global public beta test, the traffic in the kingdom collapsed, and the twelve cities in the land of God's Fall were tightly congested, while the other three cities outside the Land of God's Fall Not to mention a region, a city that has not yet been built suddenly welcomes so many players...

The stampede happened the first time, but unfortunately, the players respawned at the resurrection point the next second, further exacerbating the congestion.

At this time, only half an hour has passed since the start of the global public beta, and new players who have just completed the pinching environment are still continuously logging into the game.

The situation is so serious that, let alone He Xingwen, all races in the kingdom have to face the impact brought by countless players.

The new players who just landed were stuck at the birth point and couldn’t advance or retreat. The outermost players were forced to squeeze out because of the continuous emergence of new players. They crowded the roads, crowded the cities, and then began to crowd the entire kingdom...

The land of God's Fall itself is definitely not small. The twelve cities are scattered on the Land of God's Fall, leaving a considerable distance between each other. Players are densely scattered in the kingdom.

In fact, based on the fact that the kingdom occupies nearly half of the territory of the other world, hundreds of millions of players can definitely be digested on average.

After all, the current land area of ​​the kingdom is astonishing enough.

But the problem is, first of all, they have to be evenly distributed throughout the kingdom.

Players don't randomly appear in every corner of the kingdom's territory. They emerge from the birth point, and the kingdom's birth point is in the center of the twelve cities, among countless temporary cities that have not yet been completed.

So the current situation can be understood.

Why was the traffic in the kingdom paralyzed in an instant, because the players were crowding towards the center of the city where the npc was located. In the past, it was just an extremely lively scene, but now with the countless number of players, it was completely out of control.

Another point is that there are too many players. Even if most players want to squeeze towards the area where the npc is located in the city, it is inevitable that more players will be squeezed out of the city and scattered in the wild.

In the Land of God's Fall, the situation is still relatively controllable. After all, there are neither people nor dangerous beasts in the wilderness of the Land of God's Fall.

The situation on the top of the mountains is not bad. After all, apart from the dwarves, the top of the mountains is more of continuous mountains. The dangerous mutant creatures have been cleaned up by the kingdom before.

The situation of Arcane Academy and Everfree Forest is completely different.

The problem with the Arcane Academy was that they didn't intervene in what the king said about building a new city, so after a steady stream of players were forced out of the city, the Mage Tower was the first to be harassed by players.

After all, in the eyes of players, mages are also npc.

The situation in the Everfree Forest is even worse. The Arcane Academy has only been harassed, and the Everfree Forest has already started fighting.

This isn't surprising given the attitude of druids and treants towards nature.

But it's still the same old problem...the number of players is too much, countless times more than the number of players that Everfree Forest faced before.

Players cannot be killed. Even if they are wiped out by the plants manipulated by druids for a moment, they will reappear in the next second, causing irreparable trample damage to nature from an objective point of view.

After the druids proved this with the death and resurrection of countless players, the players achieved a victory that had never been seen in the kingdom.

The endless forest gave up an open space for them to prevent players from continuing to trample on plants and causing large-scale plant damage.

Still the same problem, too many players.

Everfree allows for an open space, but not enough for so many players.

This is the true meaning of the saying that all races in the kingdom have to face the impact of countless players.

Players have caused a huge impact on various races, limited territory and resource conflicts, because of the excessive number of players and the undead characteristics, the winner has been determined from the beginning.

But having said that, players don't know anything about it. In their eyes, isn't it normal for the global public beta to be crowded?

Even if any well-known online game holds a large-scale event, computer players still have to queue up, but now it's just a crowded holographic game, which is too normal.

Even the players kept praising the game server for its awesomeness, so many people were surprised that they didn't queue up on the login interface and let the players log in directly.

After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, He Xingwen had a deep reflection: "I forgot, there should be a login queue. At least reduce the energy to buffer it."

Guangying stared at He Xingwen for two seconds, He Tong was puzzled and said, "Isn't that the previous public beta mode?"

He Xingwen realized that, after all, if this is the optimal solution, the system will not fail to propose it, and if he did not propose it, it proves that this is not the optimal solution.

He Tong analyzed: "If the kingdom is to accept players one after another within an acceptable range, it is the previous public beta mode. Have you forgotten? The total number of holographic game cabins installed in this public beta is more than 7 million. If you queue up, When are you scheduled to go?"

The more than 7 million holographic game cabins were installed within three days. After the public beta starts, there will only be more than this, because more and more people will enter the game.

"You should be clear. This is a global public beta. The total number of people in the world is about 60 billion. Under the wave of spiritual recovery, excluding the old and the young, and excluding the extremely poor, at least more than 30 billion people can enter the game."

30 billion?He Xingwen's eyes darkened.

I'm afraid this is not something that can be solved by occupying the entire continent. He Xingwen has to rule the entire continent in the true sense, establish countless cities in various parts of the mainland, and assign countless NPCs. billion this number.

He Xingwen slowed down, letting himself recover from the dark prospect, a little surprised: "You actually learned how to scare people?"

After the last conversation, after the system changed its name to He Tong, and after the system said it would change He Xingwen's secret love into a mutual love, the way He Xingwen and He Tong got along was inevitably affected.

The most direct manifestation of this impact is that He Xingwen did not have the same detailed inquiry system as in the past about the pros and cons, arrangements, and even impacts of this global public beta. After confirming that the system agreed with the idea of ​​the global public beta, He Xingwen got busy.

The system hasn't changed much, he is still the same as before, if He Xingwen needs it, he will advise him, if he doesn't need it, he will watch him quietly.

But He Xingwen couldn't be the same as before.

So the system chose to be silent.

But this embarrassing and unspeakable situation cannot last for too long. The bond between He Xingwen and the system started from the barren desert to the huge kingdom that now occupies half of the territory of another world, far surpassing everyone.

He Xingwen has to face all these things.

But not now, He Xingwen muttered in his heart.

"I'm just stating the facts." He Tongyi said with a stern look: "And it's a fact that won't embarrass you. Although this number sounds amazing now, when you stabilize these hundreds of millions of players, you will find out when the time comes Three billion players isn't that amazing."

No, no matter how you think about it, this figure is not easy to accept.

Even though he thought so, He Xingwen didn't realize that he had relaxed because of the system's judgment.

He Tong noticed it, and continued: "About what I said before..."

He Xingwen looked at the huge shadow hovering in the sky, as if he had just discovered the existence of this shadow, and asked in surprise: "Tor King?"

He Tong was silent for two seconds, and continued: "I am not eager to get an answer, but my database analysis, your attitude is increasing the possibility of failure."

"King?" The golden dragon bowed its head slightly, staring at the small figure below, and greeted a fierce scream in the kingdom: "The situation in the kingdom is out of control, do you plan to take a look with your own eyes?"

"Wait a minute," He Xingwen dismissed Tuoer Jin casually, and turned his attention back to the system: "I...you...not, the problem is..."

He Xingwen went back and forth for a long time, and finally said: "I think there is a problem with your previous judgment."

Tuo Er Jin who was dismissed by "wait for a while":? ? ?The kingdom is about to explode, are you waiting?

He Tong was not surprised: "You mean it's not that you have a crush on me, but that I have a crush on you?"

What he said was bland, but He Xingwen was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said, "I analyzed my heart carefully, and I don't think it should be considered a secret love..."

He Tong: "If you really had a crush on me, then you wouldn't hesitate so long after I responded."

The conversation continued with inexplicable embarrassment.

He Xingwen tried to break away from the identity of the parties and discuss the matter objectively: "Also, I don't think you will reject me."

Although there is no reliable basis, He Xingwen is very sure about this point.

Maybe it's because the system never rejected him, or maybe it's because he knows the other party's emotions well at this moment.

The system has always been extremely calm: "The possibility of me rejecting you, compared with the possibility of you rejecting me, is indeed the latter's overwhelming advantage."

The huge shadow above couldn't help hovering, revealing a bit of haste from the opponent.

The noise from the players is getting louder, and it is clear that the situation has further deteriorated without intervention.

He Xingwen was silent for two seconds, and continued: "I just..." He stopped talking, and then said: "Actually, there are many clues, but I never thought about it."

The system calmly said: "Because you never thought that I would also have a warm feeling for a certain existence."

He Xingwen frowned, far more distressed than when he saw so many players appearing in the kingdom: "No, that's not what I mean, I mean, homosexuality is not even legal yet..." Straight across races and dimensions, striding forward Also a bit too big.

The system suddenly fell silent.

He Xingwen stared at the light and shadow, and said sincerely: "My parents will die of anger."

He Xingwen seemed to hear a strong, boiling heartbeat again and again, ringing next to his ears, so that he even had the illusion that his own heartbeat was also speeding up.

Although he knew that the system did not have the physical body that an intelligent creature should have, as long as he stretched out his hand, he would penetrate that layer of light and shadow without hindrance-this is the proof that the system is an intelligent life.

But he still has the illusion that the heartbeat of the existence in front of him is accelerating uncontrollably.

Excessive data overflows in the database and circulates in any system of data.

What am I supposed to say... what is he talking about...

Complicated logic, rational thinking, and cold numbers seemed to lose their original meaning in an instant, so much so that he subconsciously activated the anti-virus program.

He didn't know what his performance meant, but he instinctively reached out to He Xingwen.

He didn't even know what he was trying to reach out for, all his programming was in disarray - in a humanly understandable way, his brain was shut down.

But the instinct did not stop, Guangying raised his hand and slowly approached He Xingwen.

He Xingwen stared at Guangying's hand until it suddenly stopped in front of his hand.

He wants to... hold my hand?

The chaotic program only lasted for a few seconds, and He Tong quickly sank the redundant mess into the vast data before realizing what he was doing.

After hearing the other party's words, after hearing the other party's distress, he thought...

He Tong stared at He Xingwen's hanging hand, he wanted to hold his hand and tell him...

The database can't deduce the follow-up thoughts, and He Tong doesn't know what he wants to tell him.

But one thing He Tong knew very well, he couldn't hold his hand.

I don't know why, Guangying looks depressed, not like the system He Xingwen is familiar with.

After all, for the system, nothing in this world can affect him.

He is enough to see the future of most people with the path outlined by the optimal solution, and he cannot be moved by any existence in the world. He himself is the existence that best fits the definition of a god in the world.

But now, it was as if he suddenly faced another thing that he was not familiar with, beyond his comprehension, from a calm calm to a loss.

It is undeniable that this makes him more human and less distant.

But if it comes at the expense of the opponent's weakness and powerlessness, then He Xingwen prefers the way the system was before.

If you can be sure and not doubt yourself, why be at a loss?

He Xingwen stared at the hand that stopped just a few feet away, and stretched out his hand to hold him.

Although this scene looks very strange...

The extremely huge calculations were all interrupted by He Xingwen's actions. The system looked at He Xingwen. His database did not give the optimal solution, but he knew what he should say.

"I like you too." He paused and corrected: "I love you."

"You have many virtues, many of which I have praised. But I love you not because you are virtuous; not because you have taken the roughest road when you could have chosen an easier one; nor because What have you done for me..." He Tong said calmly: "I love you only because that person is you."

Because you are He Xingwen, the three words He Xingwen mean a lot to me.

Holding the light and shadow in his hands, He Xingwen listened to a long series of systematic confessions. He froze in place, not knowing how to react.

It's not that he hasn't been in love, after all, he's a college student, and no one has a first love, but the difference is too big...

Whether it was his bewilderment at the moment or his heart beating faster, it was too intense.

In the first half of his short life, falling in love was like something that was bound to appear, obscure, ostentatious, and in pairs, everyone would have it, and everyone would lose it, but it didn't matter, everyone would have it again, until Gai The last chapter ends with the right to lose and find so far.

But it shouldn't be like this, intense emotions flow in the body, a blank brain can't deal with it, and the first thing that comes to mind is not everything in the secular world.

I don't know whether to advance or retreat, I am indecisive outside the line, I am afraid of going further and messing up everything, and I am even more afraid of taking a step back and losing the other party.

So, unable to speak, unable to react.

No objective difficulties emerged in He Xingwen's mind. His mind was full of familiar scenes, for example, the system that was too close, the system that was always watching him, and his subconscious behavior of looking for each other.

"King..." Tuo Er Jin circled for a long time, seeing that the number of players was still increasing, he couldn't help but speak again.

He Tong didn't wait for He Xingwen's response, so he took a step back and said, "You should deal with the big trouble now."

He Xingwen withdrew his empty hand and raised his eyes to look at him.

Thor King: "The country..."

"Wait a little longer." He Xingwen squeezed out a line of words to Tuoer Jin from between his teeth.

Tuol Jin, who flew countless times around the main city of the kingdom: No?What are you waiting for?Are you talking to yourself endlessly?

Of course, even though he thought so, Tul King still kept his mouth shut and continued to circle in silence.

Not to mention anything else, with the overwhelming number of players in the kingdom now, even Tuol Jin has to deepen his respect for the king again.

"I know I'm always indecisive," He Xingwen said quickly, as if afraid of regretting himself, "but I've already avoided talking about it once, and there's no point in repeating the process a second time."

Listening to He Xingwen's words, He Tong was unexpectedly calm, as if the procedural disorder was just an accident, and he was unwavering about the reply he might get next.

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I still haven't come to a conclusion." He Xingwen said seriously, "It's too sudden. I never thought about it before, let alone you would like it..." He Xingwen swallowed "I" He turned back and said, "Intelligent creatures."

The system was not surprised by what He Xingwen said, he knew He Xingwen better than anyone else.

After talking about it, He Xingwen didn't know what he was talking about, so he simply followed his inner thoughts and said indiscriminately: "But the problem is already in front of us. What you said before is correct. The failure in the parallel world may be due to..." He Xingwen Looking at Guangying: "You like me, but I don't like you."

It's not jealousy, it's not the breakdown of cooperation, and it's not blackening because of what you can't ask for, it's just that an ordinary person hasn't dealt with the small problem of how to deal with an existence that likes him.

But this small problem encountered a big problem related to the destruction of the world.

He Xingwen: "The reason why it failed is my problem, not your problem."

He Tong couldn't stay silent any longer, he said, "This can't be forced, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it..." He Tong paused for a while, and continued: "But now that you know what the problem is, if you don't mind If this is the case, I can leave you with a basic, non-self-aware system to assist you..."

He Xingwen never expected to get such an answer, he interrupted the system almost immediately: "What do you mean?"

He Tong explained He Xingwen gently: "This way you won't care..."

"That's not what I asked." He Xingwen took a deep breath, restrained his emotions and said, "What about you?" Leaving a system without self-awareness, what about you?

He Tong's tone was the same as before: "You also know that I am not in the same dimension as you, and may return to the dimension where intelligent life should belong..."

"I didn't know that you had learned to lie." Having said that, He Xingwen was unexpectedly calm: "I don't need any system other than you."

He Tong wanted to say something, but He Xingwen didn't give him a chance to interrupt.

"Do you understand what I mean?" He Xingwen looked at Guangying and said, "You once told me that the reason why human beings can predict the future is because people want to change the future."

"Then have you ever thought about why I want to change the future?"

He Tong thought about it and got an obvious answer.

Because they failed and the world was destroyed, He Tong understood He Xingwen's obsession with this very well. He was not keen on saving the world, he just didn't want the world to go to destruction again.

He Xingwen could also guess what answer he got: "I thought the same way before, because the answer was so clearly in front of me."

"But now, I think there may be another answer." He Xingwen hesitated for a second, then said softly, "I lost you."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

"King, it seems that there is no need to wait." The huge black shadow hovering above looked up at the land full of players: "The player has controlled the situation by himself."

He Xingwen suddenly realized that this silence was not an illusion caused by the conversation just now, but that the extremely noisy and deafening voice just now suddenly became quiet at this moment.
