Chapter 326: Chapter 209: Your Kid Is Also Nad Tianba? (Part 2)

Chen Ba laughed and said, "Number one, number two, number three; just number these NPC Chen Jias, rember the numbers, and you won’t get them mixed up."

"Numbers are useless too!"

"But aside from their different abilities, can you tell apart number one Chen Jia from number two if they’re standing together?"

Lu rolled his eyes and said, "I can’t tell them apart anyway, and most players can’t either. It’s too easy to get confused."

That’s definitely a big issue.

Chen Ba thought for a mont, perhaps in future updates, they could add personalized features to these "Chen Jias" to help players distinguish them.

For example, a Chen Jia in red, a Chen Jia in blue, a Chen Jia in green...

Every NPC Chen Jia looks exactly the sa, which indeed makes it too easy to mix them up.

"We’ll see about it later."

After noting this down, Chen Ba sighed and said, "The update for ’Global Evolution’ can wait for a bit, after all, the ga really isn’t suitable for updates in the short term..."

Who dares to update?

Originally, due to the unlimited evolution of NPCs, the ga’s files inexplicably expanded. Before players completely let down their guard, Chen Ba really didn’t dare to update recklessly.

After all, the players of ’Global Evolution’ are probably the most concerned and sensitive group in the world when it cos to ga file sizes.

Before logging in every day, they first open their computer to check the remaining hard drive space, and only when they’re sure it hasn’t shrunk do they enter the ga with peace of mind.

If the remaining space has shrunk?

Then the whole day becos uneasy, whether eating or sleeping, they’re thinking about why the hard drive space has shrunk again, and how many more days they can hold out at this rate.

To put it bluntly.

When other gas release updates, players mostly throw up their hands and feet in support, hoping the update package would be as big as possible.

But when ’Global Evolution’ releases an update, players’ attitudes are quite subtle.

They don’t hope for too much content in the ga updates, because the more content there is, the bigger the update package will be, and if the update package is large...

The hard drive just can’t handle it!

That’s why Chen Ba decided to postpone the new version update of ’Global Evolution’.

How long it’ll be postponed, it’s hard to say.

Chen Ba thinks that a mature ti for a ga update should be when players and NPCs reach a sort of equilibrium, and the ga file remains at a stable size.

It’s not very stable right now...

As players keep hunting NPCs, the ga files of ’Global Evolution’ are gradually shrinking, having decreased from a peak size of nearly 200G to around 160G.

This result clearly shows that the players’ efforts have indeed paid off, slimming down the ga files significantly.

But this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

The weak NPCs may almost be wiped out, but the strong NPCs are still alive! And do you think there won’t be any new NPCs breaking through to the tenth level after these weak NPCs are dead?

So, 160G is only temporary.

Unexpectedly, after a period, the ga files might expand again to around 200G, and at most, it could possibly reach 500G.

500G is the dividing line.

Because the number of NPCs is limited, Chen Ba believes that when ’Global Evolution’ ga files reach 500G, it almost hits the ceiling.

Reaching the ceiling ans that if the ga file size surpasses 500G, it signifies a total defeat of players, forcing many to quit while NPCs achieve a complete victory.

But that’s impossible!

Chen Ba won’t allow such a situation to happen. If that day truly cos, he would not hesitate to announce a server shutdown to reboot the ga.

...

After the New Year, besides developing the FPS ga ’Space-Ti Reconnaissance’, Chen Ba was also looking for a new office.

That’s right!

Tianba Studio needed to find a new office space due to staff expansion, equipnt addition, and various other reasons.

After the studio moves out, the original office will beco the base for ’Xianyu Digital’, as long as the lease hasn’t expired, it’s considered making good use of the property.

The task of finding a new office was mostly managed by Huang Qing, with Chen Ba only responsible for making decisions.

"How about this place?"

"Good location with a large area, the only problem is parking isn’t easy, and the rent is also quite high..."

Chen Ba shook his head.

While Jiangning isn’t a first-tier city, surprisingly, the leasing standards for office buildings in the urban area are right at the level of first or second-tier CBD standards.

Are you kidding ?

At this rate, wouldn’t it be better to add a bit more money and settle down in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen?

"Rent can be negotiated..."

Huang Qing reminded, "We’re premium tenants, as long as we show sincerity, the rent can definitely be a lot cheaper."

"Not that much cheaper anyway."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "Well, let’s just move into an office building for a couple of years. Anyway, who knows what the situation will be then."

Moving is quite simple.

Once Chen Ba and Huang Qing rented the 7th floor of an office building in the city center, they quickly hired a professional moving company to relocate all the studio’s equipnt and hardware.

The ga isn’t affected.

Most of the studio’s online gas’ servers are rented, so even moving won’t cause any special server maintenance breaks.

As for single-player gas, they are even less affected.

The business most affected by Tianba Studio moving is, in fact, the Tianba Community.

Because the Tianba Community’s servers aren’t rented, moving naturally affected the normal operation of the Tianba Community.

But it’s not a big issue.

The move only takes a few hours, and Chen Ba had already posted a pinned thread in the community, explaining that due to the studio move, Tianba Community might be inaccessible.

"If the community is inaccessible, it’s not because Tianba has gone bankrupt or run away; it’s just that the studio is moving!"

The news that Tianba Community would stop operating due to the move would have originally triggered a heated discussion among players. But compared with another big piece of news, this was nothing.

The well-known player "Zhang Pengfei" just had a baby son and, after discussing with his wife, decided to na his son Zhang Tianba...

"Ah? He already has a kid?"

When Chen Ba first heard this news, he almost thought he misheard it.

But then he thought about it, considering how long Zhang Pengfei has been married, having a child now isn’t really surprising.

It was rather the fact that he nad his son that’s the real highlight!

Of course, just a single Zhang Tianba, though a bit odd, isn’t all that shocking. After all, Zhang Pengfei and his wife t through ’Love Advisor Departnt’, so naming their son this way is understandable.

The truly shocking part was when Zhang Pengfei posted, and a large group of ’Love Advisor Departnt’ players comnted: What? Your kid’s nad Tianba too?

Oh, what a coincidence!

My partner/spouse and I also t through ’Love Advisor Departnt’, so in mory of that bond, we nad our kid X Tianba/X Ba too.

Initially, Chen Ba thought everyone was just kidding.

No way, no way, no way there’s actually anyone like this silly bird Zhang Pengfei who’d na their kid "Tianba
