Chapter 302
These are things that even ordinary families pay attention to—the most important aspect of feng shui is to make the people living and working in the house feel comfortable.
This comfort is not only physical, but also encompasses aspects of movement, psychology, aesthetics, and appreciation; it is very comprehensive.
Many players enjoy visiting the store to admire its furnishings and layout, but not at this moment.
The fireworks in the store are sold out!!!
Many players rushed to Qingfengyi's official account to ask about the situation, they were very anxious.
"What do you mean, my mecha Grand Marshal? What's the meaning of Qingfengyi's words?!"
"Qingfengyi, are you looking down on my wallet?!"
"Qingfengyi, I've never seen a more stingy game designer in my life. Do you even want to make money, do you even want to become popular, and do you even want to keep us players around?!"
........
After thousands of pages of cursing, someone finally managed to say, "Family members, what exactly are you cursing about after all that cursing?"
This person isn't a gamer, they're a casual player. They don't understand what happened in Qingfeng Yili, yet they've spammed so many comments without a single one explaining what actually happened.
"I wonder what's going on with you all acting so casually."
"...Qingfengyi Mall is sold out!"
"...Qingfengyi Mall is sold out!"
"...Qingfengyi Mall is sold out!"
.......
One sentence changed the situation of everyone's random comments, and everyone started posting useful information. Hurry, there are only a dozen minutes left, getting the Qingfengyi official store back up is the important thing.
Now, Qingfengyi's public relations monitoring team has been fully upgraded, with a super large office and three large-screen monitoring devices: one for StarNet monitoring, one for official website monitoring, and one for monitoring within Qingfengyi games.
The three walls display the overall monitoring system, where information is collected and analyzed. The analysis takes place on the small AI system below the large screen, divided into two areas: one for accessing the network and the AI world. Some analyses require offline communication, while others require online monitoring; a two-pronged approach is always beneficial.
They quickly detected the player's report that the in-game store items were sold out, and Zhang Zhongxia immediately contacted the game management department. Yes, Qingfengyi now has a game management department, specifically responsible for managing the game's operation and handling related issues.
Qingfengyi has become incredibly complex, and it's unrealistic to expect the entire game design department to manage it all. Things with room for growth always evolve towards refinement, perfection, and smooth operation. Companies, countries, enterprises, or organizations that manage to follow this path demonstrate their strength and promising future.
The issue of item consumption isn't actually a problem with Qingfengyi itself, but rather a design flaw in the game platform and its management. The possibility of items running out was never anticipated; the game platform's programming has a cap. Because any program design has a limit, there's no such thing as infinity. No one would consider such an unnecessary design as unlimited values in the game store. Therefore, setting the cap to one or even dozens of times the player's demand limit is presented as an infinite value.
But Qingfengyi broke the rules; all its players are on the same server!
Although the stores are divided into zones, the items aren't. The so-called zones are more like access gates and barriers, separating players to prevent overcrowding in one area. No matter how many zones a player enters, the store remains the same. It's like a branch store; items are always transferred from the main store.
When players buy out all the items in the main store, the in-game store will naturally be empty.
This was the first time we'd encountered this situation, and the game's management department was at a loss. They contacted the game design department to ask if the values could be increased. The result was no, because Qingfengyi hadn't adjusted the values at all; they were all based on the game design platform.
The official team was also helpless after receiving the news and quickly contacted the programmers to change the upper limit. However, changing a program is quite different from writing a character or modifying a model. A small change might crash the entire system, or it might just improve something. It's hard to say, and it can't be changed casually.
This is something that probably only programmers understand. Even in the interstellar era, there are countless examples of a bunch of buggy code that still works correctly.
Players were frantically urging and leaving comments, while the programmers racked their brains and worked incredibly fast to make the changes.
The repairs were finally completed ten minutes after the fireworks show!
During the half-hour of emergency repairs, Lin Shuying personally designed a small compensation gift: a porcelain beauty amidst fireworks. It's an exceptionally intricate piece of colored porcelain, with dreamlike colors, like fresh flowers. The design depicts a beautiful woman illuminated by fireworks. The beauty can be either male or female.
The man wore a traditional Chinese jacket with a cross-collar, belted at the waist, which accentuated his figure beautifully. His head was adorned with a flying fish and phoenix tail crown, inlaid with an imperial green jade, surrounded by golden lotuses, exuding nobility and elegance. He was both refined and dashing, holding an unopened fan to his lips as he chuckled softly. It was as if a butterfly had struck a peony, causing him to burst into laughter instantly. His smile was amusing yet gentle, captivating anyone who looked at him.
The beautiful statue also wears a long, cross-collar robe, and her pose is that of a dancer. Her skirt billows, and one hand grasps a corner like a butterfly, causing the skirt to bloom like a flower, the hand's shape perfectly positioned to rest on that butterfly. The other hand rises like a crane, gently moving upwards along her cheek. The muscle lines and the tendency of movement naturally evoke the entire pose, exuding an ethereal and graceful beauty. A firework-shaped velvet hairpin adorns her hand, naturally drawing the viewer's gaze to the beauty's eyes. But one discovers that her eyes are closed, a smile playing on her lips, as if she sees something mysterious and beautiful in her mind.
The two models have the same color scheme for their outfits, which resemble blooming fireworks and are extremely beautiful.
The compensation gift has no special effects; it appears directly in the player's hand along with an announcement that unfolds right in front of them:
Dear Qingfengyi players, due to a program issue, there was a situation where the item data in the in-game store did not meet player needs. This has now been fixed and updated, and everyone can now purchase items from the store. As compensation, we have prepared a small gift for you. We apologize again for the inconvenience caused to the game~
Players don't care about small items at all; they're just overwhelmed by the sheer number of things they can buy!
Ten minutes is never enough when you have something to do; it's so short you can't even blink. Players felt like they'd barely entered the store before time was up, and they didn't dare go overtime for fear of missing the fireworks show.
There wasn't a single word in the world chat. It's unbelievable that with billions of players online at the same time, not a single person spoke in the chat.
The fireworks show began quickly, and the lakeside in each district was packed with people, so much so that many fell into the lake. Those who fell in didn't come out; they stayed in the water. Where could you find a better view of fireworks?
Suddenly, a burst of light erupted in the sky, followed by a deafening roar. A '10' formed by fireworks appeared in the sky. The player was stunned; what was going on?
