Chapter 375: Chapter 237: Marble Dynasty Chronicles_2
But now, completely filled up?
Where did so many players co from? Did they all jump out of a rock?
"Of course not!"
Yang Dong explained: "Players can’t just appear out of nowhere. After investigation, most players flooding into Zone Three and Five have transferred from Zone One and Two."
Server Transfer!
The existence of this chanism is the main reason why the servers in Zone Three and Five are full and have reached their design limit.
"I see."
When Yang Dong ntioned server transfers, and that the target servers were Zone Three and Five, Chen Ba imdiately understood.
The players who transferred couldn’t endure the "feudal rule" in their original zones and decisively fled with friends and family, joining the embrace of Zone Three and Five, supporting the decisions and bills of the "Play Committee."
Dammit!
We’re all playing "Don’t Leave After School," yet Zones Three and Five have established a "Play Committee" and "Bead Holder," set and enacted laws, and initially built a modern civilization system, while our zone is still caught up in palace struggles?
Is this really the sa ga?
Can’t stand it anymore!
Players aren’t stupid; if they aren’t welcod here, there are other places that will. You guys love to play house and engage in feudal power struggles, go fight for your emperor’s throne sowhere else, but count
out!
Thus, a great number of players began leaving Zone One and Two, transferring to Zone Three and Five, which led to these zones being overcrowded.
Zone Four experienced quite a few transfers as well.
But Zone Four is special; it’s the "international server," with players mainly from overseas, and due to language and cultural barriers, fewer players transferred.
Though fewer, that’s compared to Zone One and Two.
To be honest, Zone Four also had ten to twenty thousand foreign players who couldn’t stand the "rich and eccentric" second-generation there, so they transferred to embrace the "Play Committee."
"Ah, this..."
After understanding why Zones Three and Five were overcrowded, Chen Ba found it quite a headache.
There are two ways to solve this problem!
The first way is to expand the capacity of Zone Three and Five to et the basic needs of players, allowing more people to transfer into these two zones.
But this addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.
Once server capacity is expanded and talent absorbed, Zones Three and Five will naturally develop excellently, potentially becoming first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen in "Don’t Leave After School."
But what about the other zones?
With talent flight and a net outflow of population, Zones Three and Five will beco first-tier cities, while the others transform into fourth- or fifth-tier small towns?
"We must prevent this from happening!"
Chen Ba believes the players of "Don’t Leave After School" should be spread out and not concentrated in just one or two zones, which leads to uneven developnt.
The best way to prevent talent flight is, of course, to establish a Play Committee in Zones One, Two, and Four, and humbly learn from and replicate the successful experiences of Zones Three and Five.
But there will be an obstacle.
The existing powerholders, i.e., the local emperors of Zone One, Two, and Four, will they agree to this plan? Will they be willing to cede power?
"If not, launch Celestial Punishnt!"
Yang Dong spoke sharply: "They’ve been emperors for so long, they shouldn’t forget where their power cos from, should they?"
There was a saying in the past about divine right of kings.
In the ga "Don’t Leave After School," the power of these local emperors is all granted by Tianba Studio. If necessary, Ba could completely unleash Celestial Punishnt on them, and establish new rulers.
"Let’s not be so extre, they haven’t committed any fundantal wrongs yet..."
Chen Ba pondered: "Better to start with negotiation rather than force! It’s best if they can see the situation clearly and act sensibly on their own."
Obstinate factions who can’t see the situation?
For such stubborn rulers blinded by fa and profit, who have lost the people’s support, Chen Ba and Yang Dong would show no rcy, executing Celestial Punishnt on dictators when necessary.
The Play Committee is the choice of the players.
Ignoring the collective will of the players is akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot with its arms, which will only end with them being rcilessly crushed by the wheels of ti’s progress.
Of course!
Chen Ba would still give them dignity.
The players of "Don’t Leave After School" like to write chronicles, docunting the history of each zone. And in those chronicles, each zone’s last emperor will receive a fair evaluation.
However, respect is mutual. If they don’t accept Chen Ba’s goodwill and choose a less dignified way out, then they can’t bla Chen Ba for ruthlessly saring them in the "Don’t Leave After School" chronicles.
Nas like Marble King Zhou, Marble King You, Marble King Jie, Emperor Zhuli, Emperor Zhu Ai will not be spared when posthumous titles are given.
By the way.
The Tianba Community officials responsible for compiling and recording "Don’t Leave After School: Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" actually do have so talent.
The "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" they organized and compiled was recently recognized by a publisher, which decided to refine and publish it.
Oh boy!
When this news broke, not only were the players in disbelief, but even Chen Ba was taken aback.
This thing can be published?
It seems the book publishing industry is not doing so well, and in order to generate buzz and earn money, they no longer care about content being traditional or serious.
However, it’s not a big problem!
Although the idea is a bit baffling, printing and publishing the "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" is undoubtedly the most correct decision that publisher has made.
The first print of 200,000 copies, assud it would sell for a while, but who would’ve thought that these 200,000 books would sell out through online channels in just two hours.
Even Chen Ba didn’t get one.
Which made him quite frustrated, considering he is one of the authors of this book, yet he couldn’t even get a copy himself. It shows how popular it was.
So he promptly called the publisher, demanding they reprint quickly. This ti, don’t chisel and print just 200,000 copies, start with 500,000!
"Huh? Print that many?"
The publisher was taken aback, exclaiming that was too much, and printing so many copies, who knows when they would all be sold?
"Only 500,000 copies!"
"Who do you think you’re looking down on? Do you know how popular ’Don’t Leave After School’ is? Do you know how many players there are?"
Chen Ba assured them not to worry, just print and everything would be fine, any unsold books could be sent directly to Jiangning Tianba headquarters, Tianba Studio would cover it.
Alright, alright!
With Ba’s promise to cover things, the publisher had no more worries and bet their assets on a bold reprint of 700,000 copies.
And it turned out Ba was not lying.
The "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" beca a must-buy for every "Don’t Leave After School" player.
A reprint of 700,000 copies, although not imdiately sold out, still sold out completely within a week.
200,000
700,000 = 900,000!
In today’s not-so-prosperous book publishing industry, selling 900,000 copies in just half a month made "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" undoubtedly top the bestseller list.
"Don’t Leave After School" players almost all have one copy, and don’t ask why, because the book is just too qualified to be a "joke collection."
Players who haven’t played "Don’t Leave After School" might not understand what’s written in it.
But those who’ve played the ga were already intrigued the mont they saw the book’s title.
Buy, buy, buy!
This is a must-buy!
Such an abstract book, costing only 35 yuan, is perfect for telling stories to kids or even as a table leg prop.
Chen Ba bought it too, and he bought a thousand copies.
Don’t ask why he bought so many, he bought them to "spread the ssage." Everyone at the studio must have a copy to occasionally test their "historical" knowledge.
When guests visit the studio or during gaming expos, just give out this book!
What’s that?
The studio toilets ran out of paper?
No worries! There’s no need to panic, Ba bought a ton of "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles," go ahead and use them as toilet paper, and get more from the warehouse if needed.
This book’s utility is so broad and it’s filled with humorous abstract elents—nas like Emperor Zhuxian, Empress Zhu, Ghost Emperor, and Yellow Ox Emperor—that just reading about them makes you want to laugh.
Because of this, "Marbles Dynasty Chronicles" also attracted quite a few non-gar readers who were purely outsiders.
They might not understand it at first, but the parts they don’t get, they can go check out posts in the Tianba Community!
By referencing posts there and watching so ga videos, the book isn’t hard to comprehend. Once understood, they’ll feel the 35 yuan was well spent and a question arises.
Such a great book, when will the sequel co out?
