Chapter 344 - Great Profit (1/2)
“Protest! Sky Battle Network is Not Accessible!”
“Protest! The Sky Battle Network Server Capacity is Too Small!”
“Protest! The Sky Battle Network Only Collects Money and Does Not Work!”
The dazzling topics appeared one after another on the one to nine-star forums, attracting a lot of attention from the public.
The Sky Battle Network was the largest network created with the Federation’s investments. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was the Federation’s top network at all. Ever since it was created, there was never such a case of network congestion.
A large number of people opened the post out of curiosity. They wanted to satisfy their curiosity and see what had happened to be able to congest the Sky Battle Network.
Soon enough, everyone saw a name. A name that they have seen before but never really bothered with, Money-sucking Vampire Thirty-Six Hours.
In this world, everyone has their own idol or someone they take notice of. It was also because of this that not many people paid too much attention or bothered to go online to read the so-called “Comeback of the Money-Sucking Vampire Thirty Six Hours” post when they saw it for the first time.
However, people always have endless curiosity. Curiosity drives the development of the entire human society. Without curiosity, today’s human prosperity would not exist.
Many people who were uninterested in Qin Fen initially had also started to become curious when they saw that a person could congest a network channel to the point where the network almost crashed. What kind of person could this be to be able to cause such congestion on the Sky Battle Network that has never been a congested before?
More and more people were brought by their curiosity to gather at Free Zone Eleven, where Qin Fen was located. It was already crowded and congested, and the incoming traffic made it even more crowded.
“What? Network congestion? How is this possible?”
When the deputy general manager at the Sky Battle Network’s central management center, who was in charge of the free zones, heard his subordinate’s report, he jumped out his chair immediately.
As a higher management personnel at the Sky Battle Network, it was natural for Zhang Hao to understand better than anyone else about how large the Sky Battle Network was. Many of the channels only had a utilization rate that was less than five percent.
There was such a joke at the higher management of the Sky Battle Network, “You wish to congest the Sky Battle Network? Sure! There is a possibility! Invite the Earth Martial God or any other planet’s divine beast to the Sky Battle Network. Perhaps then, the network would be congested because people would want to witness the charm of the divine beasts?”
Zhang Hao slammed the table with his hands and looked at the duty manager who was drenched in cold sweat, “Which big shot has entered the Sky Battle Network? Don’t tell me a divine beastmaster has really entered the Sky Battle Network?”
“No…” Felice, the duty manager shook his head and smiled bitterly, “It’s a martial artist from a while ago who was pretty famous among the low-level martial artists. When he disappeared, he was only four-star. But now, he has returned as a nine-star…”
“Nine-star?” Zhang Hao squinted his eyebrows, “A nine-star martial artist? A Comet level martial artist? How is this possible? Even if he was a Main-star level…”
Felice pushed the black-rimmed glasses up onto the bridge of his nose, “General Manager, it’s different this time. This person was extremely popular when he was a two-star. When he was promoted to three-star, he also gained popularity in the circle of three-star martial artists. A few days after he entered four-star, he challenged all the sects on the Artificial Satellite Number Four’s street in one day. Finally, he battled against six or seven martial artists of the same star-class alone and defeated all of them…”
The contempt on Zhang Hao’s face reduced a little. Martial artists of the same star-class usually battled one on one due to the similarity in strength. If a single martial artist could battle against two, he would be considered extremely strong. If he could battle against a whole group at once, this person would be standing at the peak of that star-class!
“This still isn’t a big deal.” Felice sped up, “When he returned to the Battle Network not even after disappearing for a year, his strength has already reached nine-star…”
“What?” Zhang Hao felt a chill, “In less than a year, he went up five-star classes? Is he even human? Is this even true?”
“It’s not just that he had a five-star rise in less than a year.” Felice explained seriously, “It hasn’t been a year since the first time this person started fighting to his reappearance on the Sky Battle Network this time. In other words, in less than a year, he had a continuous rise of seven star classes…”
Zhang Hao’s chin dropped
It would already be considered inhumane to have a continuous five star-class rise in less than a year! A continuous seven level rise? Is he a beast? Even if this person was in his outburst period of strength growth, this is an extreme bt-level!
“That’s why…” Felice shook his head helplessly, “Two-star, three-star, four-star, these are the biggest user group of the Sky Battle Network, right? How would they react when they hear that Thirty-Six Hours has reappeared? Plus, he already has nine-star strength after being gone for some time. It is natural for them to rush to Thirty-Six Hours at once.”
Zhang Hao nodded slowly as he clicked his tongue, “Exactly! They are the biggest group, and they would naturally rush over the moment they get to know of this…”
Felice spread his hands open and twitched his mouth, “That’s it. If these three huge groups were to get all excited, they would naturally spread the news everywhere. Forums for five-star, six-star, seven-star, eight-star, and nine-star would also be hogged by these people’s propaganda. And when those martial artists see such a miraculous thing, they would naturally go over to watch.”
Zhang Hao nodded his head again. As someone who has lots of experience and knowledge, even I couldn’t resist going over to see what sort of sacred kid this is after listening to such news. How could other people resist?
“So how many people are congested now?” Zhang Hao recovered from his shock and returned to being the deputy general manager with extremely strong managerial skills at once.
Felice held a report in his hand, “Before I came in, it had already climbed to more than five million people who got stuck on the net. Now…”
Felice pressed the communication device in his hand that was connected to the computer room. The female voice that came from it sounded extremely pleasant, but the number that was reported removed all of Zhang Hao’s thoughts from appreciating the melodious voice.
Seven hundred and sixty-five thousand eight hundred and sixty-six people. Not only was the number rising at every second, the rate it increased at was not just by a few people per second, but rather by thousands.
“God!” Zhang Hao couldn’t continue sitting in the office. He got up and walked to the computer room quickly. If he were to continue waiting for news in this office, he believed that he’d probably receive a letter of dismissal from the higher-ups by afternoon.
The outer layer of the Sky Battle Network was complete chaos already, but Qin Fen seemed to be unaware of the situation outside. He was waiting for God of Earth and Grain, Mountain and River’s answer. It’s been fifteen minutes since he sent out the battle invitation, but there was still no reply.
“Fight, or no fight! There should still be a reply.” Qin Fen’s arms crossed in front of his chest. He didn’t seem to notice that the battlefield that would usually only have two or three people was now crowded with people.
Di di…
The communication device sounded seventeen minutes after sending the battle invitation, and Qin Fen was stunned as he saw the reply letter.
“Sorry, your server is heavily congested and no messages can be channeled out.”
“The network is congested?” Qin Fen suspected that he heard wrong. When has the Sky Battle Network ever had such a situation of network congestion? Even in the previous network fighting competition, there was never any congestion.
