Watching Gabrielle leave, Yuuki Rito was also preparing to go home. When he accidentally took out his mobile phone, he found that there were five or six missed calls and text messages on his phone. He opened the text messages and took a look. Yuuki Rito frowned. Followed those same missed calls and dialed back

"Hello?"

"Mr. Kayaba, I have finally contacted you. I am very sorry! The server of the Sword Art Online game is down!"

The workers at the Fantasia Bunko headquarters, who are also responsible for maintaining the server, informed Yuki Rito of the bad news.

"I remember that I had asked in advance to prepare a server that could host millions of people. You are all elites, so why is there a problem?"

"I'm really sorry! The server can indeed carry one million people, but between the six o'clock public beta time mentioned by the teacher and now, in just five minutes, at least one million people have completed the download and login operations, which is a large-scale and large-volume operation in a short period of time. As a result, the server is stuck. Players keep clicking the registration and login buttons when the server is stuck, and even log out and log in again for multiple visits. One player generates the same access pressure as more than five people.……"

"What I want to hear is not an explanation, but a solution. From the first meeting, I have said that we must take into account the problems that may be caused by a large number of players operating at the same time."

Rito Yuuki's tone changed. On the other end of the phone, the staff at Fantasia Bunko in Tokyo could hear clearly. They knew clearly that Rito Yuuki was only a young man of high school age, but they still felt strange pressure in their hearts. , a pressure far more terrifying than being fired and losing your job.

"yes! We need to solve the data overflow problem caused by server downtime, and at the same time optimize the server-side code to ensure that players only get stuck during the game instead of being disconnected. The estimated time consumption is two hours."

"Two hours is too much, and no one can stand without trust. At that time, I mentioned the six o'clock public beta, and the postponement has already made the players resentful. Every minute that passes, the resentment will increase. Two hours, you want the game to be released as soon as it is launched. A violent death?"

Yuki Rito said it was too exaggerated, and the staff's foreheads, which were already covered with sweat beads due to anxiety, broke into a lot of cold sweat.

"We are short of manpower and experience. Yes, we are short of experience. I am ashamed to say that. Although the commander-in-chief of Tenjo-in sent me and my partners to Fantasia Bunko as elites to assist Kayaba-sensei, even the official website of the Tenjo-in Foundation is There is no precedent for complex access by millions of people at the same time. This is the first time we are exposed to many issues, and we have not considered them carefully before."

"Contact the official of the mixi blog. Their headquarters is also in Tokyo and ask them to send server personnel over. My blog on mixi has experienced server downtime several times before, and the number of visits has also exceeded one million. The mixi blog They should be very experienced and invite them with a sincere attitude. The price is whatever they want. As long as the problem can be solved in the shortest possible time, tens of millions of yen or even hundreds of millions of yen are acceptable."

"yes!"

"Tell me the result in ten minutes. If the mixi blogger refuses or can't solve it, I will bring someone who can solve it."

The person Yuuki Rito said can solve the problem, naturally refers to Lala. The other party also said just now that it is to optimize the server-side code instead of the client-side code, which means that there is no problem with the client. Lala wrote it before On the client side, and on the server side, most of Yuuki Rito was handed over to the talents sent by Tenjoin Takahiro. Now it seems that these talents are inferior to Lala after all, and maybe they are not as good as this world. Various industries other than the military industry have been in a downturn. There has been no precedent for such a large number of visits before. Even the so-called talents have no relevant experience. After hanging up the phone, Yuuki Rito has returned home. He just opened the door and faced Looking into the eyes of Mikan who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, the irritability in her heart due to the unsatisfactory public beta of the game was immediately suppressed, and a smile appeared on Yuki Rito's face.

"I'm back"

"is everything okay?"

Although Yuuki Rito's expression was very normal, as someone familiar with him, Mikan still noticed that he was uneasy and showed a worried look.

"Everything else went surprisingly smoothly, but there is something wrong with the Sword Art Online game. Where is Lara, I may need her help."

Now that Mikan has found out, Rito Yuuki no longer hides it. If it comes to the last moment, Rito Yuuki will have no choice but to take Lala to the Fantasia Bunko headquarters to check out the situation. There will be no hiding anything by then.

And after hearing There was just a problem with the game, but Mikan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Lala suddenly ran upstairs, probably to solve the problem with the game that Rito mentioned."

"Really...Have you eaten?"

"No. Does Rito want to eat first or solve the problem first? Even if I don’t know much about it, I know that a lot of people are paying attention to the Sword Art Online game."

"What about you, are you hungry?"

Although the facts are indeed what Mikan said, Yuuki Rito will not get carried away in his anxiety. He developed the Sword Art Online game not to make money or to gain reputation. It was just to plunder the protagonist's luck and satisfy his own needs. A little wish, and now the plunder of luck has come to a standstill. The Sword Art Online game is only to fulfill his wish. Rito Yuki will not ignore Mikan's feelings because of this little trouble. What's more, he can't help much now. The programming he learned before Knowledge in this area also does not involve handling extremely large amounts of visits.

"I'm not hungry. If I'm too hungry, I'll eat a little by myself first. Rido should go help Sister Lala first, come on!"

Mikan was so encouraging. Yuki Rito didn't have the face to say that he could only be a salty fish now. When he returned to the room, as expected, Lala was sitting at the desk, operating her computer. The screen was showing the Linux system. The interface is exactly the system used by the Sword Art Online server.

"Rito, I already know that there is a problem with the game. It freezes as soon as I log in. If I'm lucky, I can still enter my account and password. But if I'm not lucky, I can't even enter my account and password. I'm repairing it remotely as an administrator. Fantasia Library may I don’t know yet. Please tell me. I can fix it in about an hour. If the people over there are smart enough and can cooperate with me, half an hour will be enough."

It is now 6:10 in the evening. In any case, it is a foregone conclusion that Sword Art Online will not be tested as scheduled. Yuuki Rito sighed.

"Got it, I'm just a layman with server-side knowledge, so I can't help you. I'll make an announcement on the mixi blog first."
