The Only Male Protagonist

"Then what about the others? The others also look very appetizing to me?"

In the small convenience store, Gabriel showed a strange sense of excitement and freshness. Others were inevitably puzzled when they saw this, but Yuuki Rito didn't say anything because of it.

"They all taste really good if you take a bite or two, but some of them can be very greasy, you just taste it."

"Well, I want it."

Gabriel seemed to have determined the purchasing power of her own funds from the price tag of the convenience store, her face was full of pride, and with a wave of her little hand, she directly took a copy of all the bentos in the convenience store and held them in her arms.

Yuuki Rito thought about it carefully, and it seems that Gabriel is not a big eater.

"There are more than a dozen servings in total, can you finish it?"

"If you can't finish eating, you can wait for the next time."

In high spirits, Gabriel looked at the idiot in her eyes, and Yuki Rito began to suspect that her previous perfect posture was a fake.

"Bento generally has a shelf life. In addition, there is a shorter appreciation period. If the former period is exceeded, there is a possibility of deterioration. If the latter period is exceeded, the taste will be reduced. If you like to eat bento, it is better It’s better to buy on the day.”

"That's it... okay."

Hearing this, Gabriel carefully looked at the date on the bento, and after making a difficult decision, she put back most of the bento in her hand, leaving only the beef bulgogi bibimbap and curry chicken rice recommended by Yuuki Rito before. , and then looked at Yuuki Rito.

"What do you want to buy? Buy whatever you want. I'll treat you. Uh...it's better not to be too expensive. I only have hundreds of thousands of yen. Although the rent has been paid, I still need to buy other things."

Yuuki Rito didn't expect Gabriel to tell herself even such a thing, if nothing else was considered, hundreds of thousands of yen would indeed be cool for a long time, and Gabriel could be regarded as a little rich woman.

"Since you want a treat so much, I won't refuse it either."

Yuuki Rito casually took a bottle of drink, which was only a hundred yen. Gabriel was quite moved by his attitude of not coldly rejecting other people's kindness, but also not making people spend too much money.

"You are really a good person, well, good person, speaking of it, I haven't asked your name yet, it's really rude."

"Yuuki Rito."

"What about the mobile phone number and email address? Everyone usually relies on this when they want to contact each other, right?"

"Looking at your performance before, you probably don't have a mobile phone, even if you know it, it's useless."

"Since I'm here...cough, since I'm here, a mobile phone is not indispensable. I'll buy one later."

Gabriel, who almost exposed the important information, coughed lightly, looking very unnatural. Of course, Yuuki Rito would not ask stupidly, so she borrowed a pen and paper from the cashier in the store, and wrote down her mobile phone number and email address. To Gabriel.

"If you need help later, you can contact me."

"Maybe there will be. I have to go back and tidy up the house, and I can't wait to eat lunch, so I will leave first. Next time, I will invite you to my house as a guest."

Chapter 0163 There was a problem during the game public beta

Watching Gabriel leave, Yuuki Rito was also about 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 mobile phone. He opened the text message and took a look. Yuuki Rito frowned, Following those same missed calls, dialed back.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Kayaba, I finally got in touch with you. I'm very sorry! The server of the Sword Art Online game is down!"

The staff at Fantasia Bunko Headquarters, who is 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 capable of hosting millions of people. You are all elites. Why did something go wrong?"

"I'm really sorry! The server can indeed accommodate millions of people, but from the six o'clock public beta time that the teacher said to now, in just five minutes, at least one million people have completed the download and login operations. The large-scale and large-scale operations caused the server to freeze. Players kept clicking the registration and login buttons during the freeze, and even logged out and re-logged in for multiple visits. One player generated a visit pressure equivalent to more than five people..."

"What I want to listen to is not an explanation, but a solution. From the first time I met, I said it. We must consider the problems that may be caused by a large number of players operating at the same time."

The change in Yuki Rito's tone, on the other end of the phone, the staff at the Fantasia Bunko in Tokyo could hear clearly, clearly knowing that Yuki Rito was only a young man of high school age, but there was still a strange pressure in his heart, Far scarier stress than getting fired and losing your job.

"Yes! We need to solve the problem of data overflow caused by server downtime, and optimize the code on the server side to ensure that players are stuck rather than disconnected when playing the game. The estimated time consumption is two hours."

"Two hours is too much, and no one can stand without faith. At that time, I said that the six o'clock public beta, the delay has already made players resentful. Every minute that passes, the resentment will increase. Two hours, you want the game to be launched. Just die violently?"

Yuki Rito's words were too exaggerated, and the staff's foreheads that were already covered with sweat from anxiety grew a lot of cold sweat.

"We don't have enough manpower and experience. Yes, we don't have enough experience. I'm ashamed to say it. Although the Tenjoin Chief Commander-in-Chief sent me and my partner as elites to Fantasia Library to assist Kayaba-sensei, but even the Tenjoin Foundation's official website, There is also no precedent for complex interviews conducted by millions of people at the same time, and we are contacting many issues for the first time, and we have not considered them carefully before.”

"Contact the official Mixi blog, their headquarters is also in Tokyo, and ask them to send the relevant personnel of the server. My blog on Mixi has experienced server downtime several times before, and the number of visits has also exceeded one million. Mixi Bloggers should be very experienced, invite them to come with a sincere attitude, and they can open the price 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 also 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 that Yuki Rito said can solve the problem naturally refers to Lala. The other party also said just now that the server-side code is optimized instead of the client-side code, which shows that there is no problem with the client-side. On the server side, most of Yuuki Rito’s were handed over to the talents sent by Takashi Tenjoin. Now it seems that these talents are inferior to Lala after all. There has been no precedent for such a large number of visits before, and even the so-called talents have no relevant experience.

After hanging up the phone, Yuuki Rito had already returned home, just opened the door, and met the eyes of Mikan who was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, the irritability in her heart due to the failure of the game public beta was immediately suppressed, Yuki A smile appeared on Shirohito's face.

"I'm back."

"is everything okay?"

Although Yuki Rito's expression was very normal, but as someone who knew him well, Mikan still sensed his restlessness and showed a worried look.

"Everything else went smoothly unexpectedly, but something went wrong with the Sword Art Online game. What about Lala, I might need her help."

Now that Mikan has found out, Yuuki Rito has not concealed it anymore. If it really comes to the last moment, Yuuki Rito can only take Lala to the Fantasia library headquarters to check the situation, and then there is no way to hide it.

But when she heard that there was only a problem with the game, Meikan was relieved.

"Miss Lala suddenly ran upstairs, maybe to solve the problem of the game that Rito said."

"Really... have you eaten yet?"

"No, does Rito want to eat first or solve troubles first? Even if I don't know very well, I know that many people pay attention to the Sword Art Online game."

"And you, are you hungry?"

Although the facts are indeed as Mikan said, Yuuki Rito will not get carried away in such a hurry. He developed the game of Sword Art Online, not for making money, not for word of mouth, but for the purpose of plundering the luck of the protagonist and satisfying himself. Wish, now that the plunder of luck has come to a standstill, the game of Sword Art Online is only to satisfy his own wish, Yuuki Rito will not ignore Mikan's feelings because of this trouble.

What's more, he can't help much now, and the programming knowledge he learned before also doesn't involve the handling of huge amounts of visits.

"I'm not hungry. If I'm too hungry, I'll eat some by myself first. Ridou should help Sister Lala first, come on!"

With Meikan's encouragement, Yuuki Rito didn't have the face to say that he can only be a salted fish now. When he returned to the room, as expected, Lala was sitting at the desk, operating her computer, with the Linux system interface on the screen , which is the system used by the Sword Art Online server side.

"Rito, I already know that there is a problem with the game. I just got stuck when I logged in. If I'm lucky, I can still enter the account password. If I'm unlucky, I can't even enter the account password. I'm doing remote repairs as an administrator. Fantasia Library Maybe you don’t know yet, tell me, I can fix it in about an hour, if the people over there are smart enough to cooperate with my work, half an hour is enough.”

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

"Understood, I'm just a layman with server-side knowledge, so I can't help you. I'll post an announcement on the Mixi blog first."
