At this moment, Xu Zhi and the other department heads stopped clapping and turned around to look at the employee who had barged in. Xu Zhi was even more nervous.

"What's going on?" Xu Zhi asked.

The employee heard Xu Zhi asking him a question, and he walked past Wang Kewen to report to Xu Zhi.

"President Xu, there are too many players who have rushed into Jumping the Line of Fire in a short period of time. Our default server can only hold a maximum of 1,000,000 online peak value. Now, it has reached 700,000 in half an hour. If this continues, I'm afraid that our server will explode soon."

After hearing this employee's words, Xu Zhi let out a long sigh. This was not a big issue.

Although he knew that there would be many unexpected situations in the open beta, the problem of too many people causing the server to explode was not something that Xu Zhi had expected. However, compared to other unexpected situations that might occur, it was not difficult to solve.

Without thinking too much, Xu Zhi immediately said to this employee,

"Listen, go back now and immediately adjust the server's load to its maximum state. You must ensure the that players do not experience any difficulty while logging into the game."

"President Xu, there is no problem with the server's maximum load for now, but if it exceeds half an hour, there will be problems like getting stuck."

"It's fine. You go and work on it first. Don't worry about the rest."

"Okay, President Xu."

After receiving Xu Zhi's order, the employee returned to his post in a hurry.

"Little Sister Ding, what's the current data of Real Battlefield 1? How's the server usage rate?" Xu Zhi turned around and asked Ding Xiaomei.

"President Xu, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Ding Xiaomei leaned over in front of the computer to check and quickly said, "President Xu, currently there are 70,000 people online, and the server load is less than 10% ."

"Alright, immediately connect the excess computing power of Real Battlefield server to Jumping the Line of Fire. I'll give you half an hour to finish it!"

After saying that, Xu Zhi turned back to look at He Wei.

"He Wei, I'll give you a task now. Go rent a server immediately."

"Okay, President Xu."

Although He Wei was the director of the planning department, he immediately accepted the order.

"By the way, Huang Meng." Xu Zhi looked at Huang Meng again. He took a deep breath and said, "The finance department will release the money for the rental of the server as soon as possible. Don't create any problems."

"No problem, President Xu."

He thought that Huang Meng would refute him, but he did not expect Huang Meng to just nod and reply with a smile.

After listening to Huang Meng's words, Xu Zhi was relieved about Huang Meng's ability to work.

After instructing everyone to get busy, Xu Zhi did not go out. Instead, he continued to sit in the meeting room, holding a cup of water and looking at the various data of Jumping the Line of Fire.

The open beta launch was just like a warzone. The soldiers charged forward, killing the enemy bravely. The general sat in the tent and planned everything out.

Xu Zhi was the general of the Dream Game Company. He naturally wanted to control the entire situation.

Another 15 minutes had passed, and the number of people online had already exceeded one million. It had officially reached the load of the original server.

However, on Little Sister Ding's side, a portion of the Real Battlefield 1's servers had already been connected. This provided further load for Jumping the Line of Fire's server. There were no problems in the game itself, and the game players did not feel any impact from the overloaded server.

Moreover, on He Wei's side, the rental server was also going very smoothly. It would not be long before the new server could be connected. Of course, the money was also spent.

"Hey, by the way, Wang Kewen, what was the name of the employee just now?" Xu Zhi suddenly thought of the employee who had just entered. He turned around and looked at Wang Kewen behind him.

"President Xu, his name is Hong Wu."

"Hong Wu? Okay!"

Xu Zhi picked up a pen and wrote down the name. Xu Zhi thought that this person was worth nurturing.

Sitting behind Xu Zhi and seeing the name written down by Xu Zhi, Wang Kewen pondered endlessly. However, he was not thinking about this employee, but about the new game, Jumping the Line of Fire.

From the beginning, he had no good impression of Jumping the Line of Fire, especially after Xu Zhi stopped developing Real Battlefield 2 in order to develop it. In his heart, he had been waiting for Jumping the Line of Fire to fail. He was waiting for it to become a joke.

The reason why he had led the research team to develop it was to wait until the public beta to see it turn into a big joke.

In the end, the closed beta results turned out to be bad a few days ago. Wang Kewen was laughing in his heart, but he did not expect the momentum to be so fierce in the public open beta. Wang Kewen could not help but ponder about this.

Could it be that this Jumping the Line of Fire really had the potential to be popular? Was there really something in the game that he could not understand?

Wang Kewen thought about it for a long time.

He had participated in the development of the game. The quality of the graphics was extremely rubbish. There was no need to think too much about it. The guns were simple, expensive, and shockingly ugly. It was especially so for a few hero weapons. The bodies of the guns were actually emitting golden light. In Wang Kewen's view, this was basically the same as some shiny toy guns sold by vendors during the New Year. Compared to Real Battlefield 2, it was a world of difference.

Thinking of Real Battlefield 2, he thought of the fact that he had stayed up all night to personally study and conduct research for the sake of even a single gun, striving for absolute truth. Wang Kewen felt a wave of regret, and even some hatred. Real Battlefield 2 should not have been discontinued.

If there was a chance, he would definitely get this game back on track.

However, looking at Xu Zhi in front of him, Wang Kewen felt that the hope was slim.

At this moment, Wang Kewen looked at the constantly increasing number of Jumping the Line of Fire in front of him, as well as Xu Zhi's smiling face. He could not help but feel angry in his heart. All of this should have been the glory of Real Battlefield 2.

"Let's take a look at Jumping the Line of Fire. Would there even be a single player who pays money in this game? Anyone who spends money here must be mentally ill! There are so many people now, and they are all just playing for fun. When today's poor revenue is revealed, let's see what you will do."

The more he thought, the gloomier Wang Kewen felt. However, the number of online players in Jumping the Line of Fire, reaching 1.5 million.

No matter how unhappy Wang Kewen was, he still had to force a smile onto his face.

Seeing Zheng Quan take the lead to clap his hands again, Wang Kewen smiled and thought darkly in his heart, 'Flying high and then failing miserably, I'm not in a hurry! I'll be waiting.' 

...

Inside the Divine Dragon Internet Cafe.

Wang Dalong looked at the advertisement on the screen in front of him that could not be removed no matter how hard he tried. He was so angry that he clenched his fists.

It was not easy for him to go online today. This advertisement was like chewing gum that stuck to the bottom of his shoes and could not be removed.

"What is this Jumping the Line of Fire? They should jump down a building."

Filled with anger, looking at the game's repeatedly flashing advertisement, Wang Dalong really wanted to slap the person who posted the advertisement through the screen.

However, no matter how angry he was, Wang Dalong could only endure it. His hand could not penetrate the computer screen. On the contrary, if he broke the computer screen, he would have to pay a huge sum of money.

At this moment, he once again clicked on the 'X' to close the advertisement in the lower right corner of the screen. However, another one appeared in the upper left corner. Wang Dalong could not contain his anger any longer.

"Fine, fine! I give up! I will play Jumping the Line of Fire today!"
