"Ding"
As a familiar prompt sounded over the Blue Star, all players put down what they were doing and looked seriously at the long pop-up window that popped up in front of them.
So many months have passed.
The human players on Blue Star have already reached a consensus that no one sleeps at night before the new month is coming. Everyone is patiently waiting for the new rules to come.
According to the old rules, the arrival of new rules often means the opening of new activities.
"Ding!"
The sudden sound of notification caught everyone's attention!
"Game update announcement!"
"The new version of Blue Star 4.7 will be shut down for updates starting at 00:00 a.m. on November 1. The main content and adjustments of this update are as follows."
"1. Some bugs have been fixed. The bug fixes are as follows:
*Someone used some props to break through the restrictions outside the Blue Star's atmosphere and escaped from the Blue Star. They have been recaptured and the bug has been fixed. *
*Due to some problems with the program code, we have fixed the bug where you can get stuck in rocks and even walk freely underground by squatting on the edges of some square steps and constantly moving back and forth. *
*Fixed the bug where some players found that the mall can be purchased for 0 yuan. The bug has been fixed. All sold items will be recovered. If the item disappears, the player needs to compensate the original price. *
*$%##%$#%%#*」
"2. A new "Beast Fighting Chess" gameplay will be added. Starting from November, a permanent gameplay will be added.
There are several kinds of chess pieces in animal fighting chess: elephant, lion, tiger, leopard, dog, wolf, cat and rat.
They are in a mutually incompatible relationship. For example, an elephant can eat a lion, a lion can eat a tiger, but a mouse can eat an elephant, etc.
In this gameplay, players will draw a random chess piece as their identity, and can challenge any player they see. If the opponent's identity is lower than theirs, they will get 100 points, otherwise 100 points will be deducted. Vouchers.
Each player can accept an unlimited number of challenges per day, but can only initiate one challenge.
And after a challenge is over, both parties will know each other's identities. "
"3: New rules for August include "No Smoking" and "No Thank You".
"No Smoking": All players are not allowed to smoke. As an adult, you should pay attention to your own health, at least not to affect the health of those around you because of your second-hand smoke.
If you violate the rules once, 1,000 points will be deducted and will not be superimposed.
"Refuse to thank you": We should face this world more roughly. Politeness is not a necessity. This month, all players will not be allowed to say thank you.
If you violate the rules once, 1,000 points will be deducted and will not be superimposed.
ps: Thank you is defined as 'thank you'. Other substitute words such as thank you will not trigger this rule.
The November rule lasts for one month and expires at 0:00 a.m. on December 1. "
"The Snow Sea project team wishes all players a happy game in version 4.7."
"PS: In the next update notice, the project team has decided to add rules for the month regarding the "do whatever you want" element. Players, please stay tuned."
"It seems like the content of this month's update is quite simple."
Standing aside, Tutu Rabbit looked at the panel sticking out in front of him with his hands in his pockets and said casually: "There are only 3 updated contents, which are much less than before. They just added a dispensable gameplay of Beast Fighting Chess."
"This gameplay feels very strange."
"As long as you launch a challenge, you can know the identity of each other's chess pieces. Then you only need to publicize the other side's chess pieces, so that players with greater identity than this person will all come over and challenge you to get 100 points for free."
"Isn't this too targeted at some unpopular players?"
"Fortunately, this identity is not forced to be distributed, but you can freely choose whether to join this gameplay. Otherwise, if Brother Yi's identity is exposed, many players with a greater identity than Brother Yi will come to Brother Yi to take advantage of him. Even if you are choked to death, you will be annoyed to death."
"Let's do this"
Jian Wuya on the side said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't think you need to think about this issue at all. Even if this identity is forcibly distributed to every player, there should be no players who would dare to come to Brother Yi to initiate a lawsuit. challenge."
"Why? As long as Brother Yi's identity is exposed, it means that if you initiate a challenge, you will get 100 points in vain."
"That's what I say, but losing your life for 100 points is not worth it, isn't it? After all, 100 points is still a bit insignificant in the face of one life."
"Yes, what you said makes sense."
The tuberculosis rabbit nodded in agreement, then took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it and threw it into his mouth. After taking a long breath, he looked at the smoke lingering in front of him in a daze.
"I don't know why, but this cigarette feels much better than usual."
“I always feel that there is a sense of dignity in the smoke.”
The new rules for the month of November are that all players are not allowed to smoke, and each violation will result in a fine of 1,000 points. Naturally, Tutu Rabbit completely ignored this rule. A cigarette only costs 1,000 points, and he can afford it.
Even if you smoke 20 sticks a day, it’s only 20,000 points.
Only 600,000 a month.
It's just a drizzle. It's not the same as before. They don't need these hundreds of thousands of coupons now. The ear pick in his pocket was bought with hundreds of thousands of coupons. Who cares about these hundreds of thousands of coupons.
What's more, the only E-level item in his backpack is that as long as the "Star Map" platform is opened on Blue Star, tens of billions of points can be cashed out in minutes, so who cares about hundreds of thousands of points.
As for the other rule, it was even more useless to him.
"Thanks?"
Tutu Rabbit couldn't help but grinned: "Do you think I am someone who says thank you?"
"Ding, if the player Tuberculosis Rabbit said 'thank you' twice, 2,000 points will be deducted."
"."
The grinning rabbit suddenly became expressionless and silent. After a moment, he hoarsely said: "I'm humiliating your mother, does this count?!"
Jian Wuya, who was standing aside, looked at the announcement thoughtfully: "But what I'm more curious about is, how did those players discover these weird bugs? I'm really curious about what they used. How can you actually escape from Blue Star?"
"Although I was caught in the end, this step was already very impressive."
"You can also find that you can buy it for 0 yuan in the mall. What kind of operation is this? You can also buy it in the mall for 0 yuan? What surprised me the most is, who would squat on a step and move back and forth in an attempt to get stuck? Go into the ground!"
"This is reality!"
"It's not that CF that can be activated even with PHS. Why would someone do this kind of behavior in reality? What's even more puzzling is why this kind of behavior is really successful? It really takes effect. ?!”
"What a mess is this!"
at this time--
Jian Wuya suddenly noticed that Brother Yi had not spoken from the beginning, but was sitting quietly on the spot with an extremely calm face. He was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but step forward and speak tentatively.
"Brother Yi is still worried about that playboy career?"
He naturally knew that Brother Yi had not been in a good mood these days. The biggest reason was because of his career as a "playboy", which caused Brother Yi to receive disgusting looks from players of the same sex from time to time.
Of course, those same-sex players should feel even more disgusted with themselves.
If you find it unimaginable, you might as well imagine that you walked down the street one day and saw a man passing by, and then suddenly you felt a kind of love for this man in your heart.
This sudden feeling was enough to make me start to doubt my own sexual orientation, instantly break the values that I had held for many years, and make me feel a suffocating nausea in my heart.
You know, even if they are gay, not every man likes them, they just have feelings for some people of the same sex who meet their specific requirements.
And Chen Yi's profession can make all the people of the same sex, the opposite sex, and even a mosquito who look at him have a strange feeling for Brother Yi.
This feeling is excruciating enough.
But... I have to say, looking at Brother Yi in the past few days, I really feel that his features have become more beautiful.
Jian Wuya couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look directly at Brother Yi. These days, anything really could happen. Don't ever feel that the world you see is already ridiculous.
The limit is far from reached.
"."
After Chen Yi was silent for a moment, he said softly: "Didn't you notice the sentence in the third line?"
"Um?"
Jian Wuya was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the announcement board in front of him and said in confusion: "It's just a government slang. Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"
Chen Yi did not explain too much, but repeated the sentence softly.
"The new version of Blue Star 4.7 will be shut down for updates starting at 00:00 am on November 1st. The main content and adjustments of this update are as follows."
"etc!"
At this time, Tututu suddenly noticed that there was something unusual in this sentence, and a flash of shock flashed deep in his pupils. He looked up at Chen Yi in disbelief: "The update will be shut down at 00:00 in the morning on November 1st? The update will be shut down??? What the hell is this downtime for updates?”
"Whose fucking machine is parked?"
"Stop our plane?"
"How the hell can we be shut down?!!"
They have seen this sentence many times. This sentence will appear every time the version is updated. It is nothing special and has been automatically skipped. In the past, it was updated without stopping every time. They are already familiar with it. They did not expect this. There was a sudden shutdown update.
They were immediately confused.
Downtime?
What kind of shutdown method?
Jian Wuya reacted with a trace of fear in his eyes. He quickly observed his surroundings before murmuring with some shock: "But I feel everything is normal now, and there is no feeling of any downtime. Could it be said that we can't feel the downtime?" ?”
“What does downtime actually mean?”
"Not sure."
Chen Yi remained silent for a long time with a calm face before continuing: "I just asked Li Yi from Xingyuan, who is awesome, to help us inquire. Li Yi told me that there has never been such a saying in the history of upgrading games."
"I spent hundreds of thousands of points as a price to activate the B-level skill "Please Destiny". The Xuehai project team also told me that they didn't know what the situation was. When they set up the announcement, they would update without stopping. , but it became a downtime update when it was released. "
"This is the first time we have seen this in the entire upgrade game."
"There has never been an update outage before."
"There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that there is a problem with the underlying code of the upgraded game, which leads to a bug of typos and omissions, causing the character "不" in the non-stop update to be lost."
"If this is the case, this bug should be fixed soon, and the shutdown update on the notification panel will be changed to non-stop update in ten minutes."
"But the Xuehai project team told me that this possibility is almost slim, because the underlying code of the upgraded game will not make such stupid mistakes."
"Then there is only the second possibility."
"It really allowed us to catch up. The first time the upgraded game was shut down for updates, it allowed us to catch up."
"Exactly what will happen is completely unknown."
"The Xuehai project team doesn't know what the situation is. They are frantically investigating the cause of this incident. No one knows what will happen next."
The words fell.
Tutu, who was happily discussing the rules of the month with Jian Wuya just now, suddenly lost the excitement on his face. He frowned for a long time and then said: "Only the game will be stopped for updates. Generally speaking, the game will be stopped for updates." Games tend to be heavily updated.”
"And take some time to sort out the mountain of code."
"The most important thing now is what is our role? Is it a player? Then when we go online again, will the props we have be lost? Is it an NPC? If it is an NPC, then will we have no chance to go online at all? , was it directly cleared as discarded data when it was more similar?"
The tuberculosis rabbit obviously looked a little anxious, while Jian Wuya and the tuberculosis rabbit on the side had the same expression. Everyone was full of fear of the unknown about this shutdown update.
Is a blessing or a curse
There’s no need to guess, this thing doesn’t look like it can bring blessings at first glance.
"Maybe we don't have to guess anymore."
Chen Yi stood on the seaside, took out a cigarette from his arms and brought it to his mouth. He lit it slowly and blew out the smoke. He looked at the ever-changing scenery on the horizon and whispered in a low voice: "If I'm not wrong, the whole Blue Star may have to suspend operations for a while, but there is no specific time."
Say it.
Tutu, Jian Wuya and others all followed Chen Yi's gaze. At this glance, several people's mouths slowly widened and they froze on the spot, looking a little at a loss for a moment.
All I can see is the horizon.
A huge white aperture enveloped them from the sky at an extremely fast speed. Everything touched by the white aperture would become pixelated and stay in place.
The waves that were originally three meters high suddenly stopped in mid-air, and the waves were filled with pixel-like squares. They looked like Minecraft and seemed a little extra unreal.
Including seagulls in mid-air and crabs struggling to climb onto the beach.
Players who are still sitting on beach chairs reading the rules.
Even the air became still in mid-air and became pixelated and blocky.
The downtime update has begun.
As for Chen Yi and others, when they were shrouded in white light, they just didn't bother to curse angrily: "Fuck, the global time has stopped, this is a fucking shutdown for updates, please don't give me a person who can walk freely! "
"I'm really worried about this."
Chen Yi immediately hugged Jia Ye into his arms to prevent a player from being able to ignore this rule and walk freely in the world's static state. This was not something that would definitely happen.
Before the upgraded game comes.
He knew that there were many movies with this theme, and it was said that there were many viewers who liked watching them.
But after being enveloped in white light and losing a moment, Chen Yi suddenly flashed an extremely terrifying possibility in his mind, and subconsciously reached out to cover his butt.
Dry!
His current profession is that of a playboy, and his attraction to the same sex has greatly increased!
He protected Jiaye, so what if he failed to protect himself?
Damn it, if someone dares to attack him, he will dig out all the ancestral graves of the other person's 18th generation or older and soak them in copper water!
Immediately afterwards——
This white halo of light quickly jumped over Chen Yi and his group, and continued to fly towards the end of the horizon. Everything in its path stopped and became pixelated and blocky, including the players.
November 1st.
Blue Star has conducted its first outage update. This version update will also be the first outage update for the upgraded game.
