Chapter 2: Installing The Server
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
What’s said would be done. After confirming the direction that they were heading, Bei Li, which was the
Little Lolita’s real name, brought Lu Wu to the royal palace, which was now a wasteland. She pulled
open a scorched door right beside a charred pillar and a passage leading to the basement greeted
them.
As Lu Wu was entering, he realized that the underground palace was quite spacious, just like a typical
one.
There lay all kinds of ancient equipment. It looked as if it was some sort of laboratory.
From the Little Lolita’s explanation, Lu Wu finally came to know that this was the very place his
ancestor had done his research and development on the artifacts. As for Bei Li, she was the one and
only helper of his ancestor, who stood by his research from the beginning to the very end.
As he stepped into the laboratory, Bei Li’s look became serious. Lu Wu waited for her to change into a
golden suit, which covered her entire body, then passed her the ring. She took it and got to work,
pacing back and forth between equipment.
Lu Wu stared blankly at Bei Li as she switched from hammers to electric drills to brushes, testing all
kinds of tools on the ring, doing all sorts of shamanistic stuff on it, chanting and reminiscing spells all
the way.
After two hours of torment, Bei Li took off her golden helmet and passed the reformed ring to Lu Wu,
feeling exhausted.
“This is it?” Lu Wu was having a hard time believing it.
“It wasn’t too difficult to add those new functions to it. It now has a built-in server that can extradite
gamers, and on top of that, it has its own database settings. Now we can finally put it into practice.”
Lu Wu put on the ring skeptically, and the instructions of the artifact appeared once again.
Lu Wu was surprised to see its contents. This was exactly what he had wanted! Not only were the
installments made by Bei Li much better than what he had in mind, she had even thought of the
method to extradite players into the underworld.
This had left Lu Wu beaming with joy, “Your hard work has paid off!”
“Phew, I told you that I’m excellent! Let’s go and test it out!” Bei Li exclaimed excitedly, though still
being worn out.
The new ideas and functions had brought hope to Bei Li, which in turn had changed her perspective
toward Lu Wu. With the new functions she had added, she felt that Lu Wu would definitely be able to
recreate the glory of the King of Beiqi.
“Yes, let’s go!”
As he said this, he reached out and tugged on Bei Li’s tiny hand.
The originally happy-go-lucky version of Bei Li was now replaced with a mature lady whose face was
as red as a tomato. She struggled free from his grasp and ran to the side, “I’m going to change out of
this laboratory suit, wait… wait for me!”
After a while of waiting, she finally came out with her black mini skirt on. The gothic Little Lolita version
of Bei Li returned to Lu Wu’s side once again.
Lu Wu laughed secretly in his heart when he saw that she had been blushing. He held her hand once
more and swiftly activated the newly added functions of the ring. Then they were off, traveling between
Yin and Yang.
A maelstrom of darkness formed right in front of their eyes, but Lu Wu was no longer frightened by it.
Instead he was willingly sucked into it.
He opened his eyes once more, and was greeted by the blazing sun that hung high up in the sky. Lu
Wu subconsciously breathed in a mouthful of air from the world of the living, the encounter he had
previously felt like a dream.
He looked down and saw that Bei Li was staring rather shyly at their hands which were interlocked
together, and he smiled at this.
Lu Wu brought Bei Li back to his home in Indigo City. It was an apartment with three bedrooms, one
living room, and one bathroom.
Although he lived alone, the place was spotless and there wasn’t even the slightest mess in his
bedroom.
He led Bei Li into his bedroom and switched on his computer, then loaded the little gaming site
designed by him.
“Little one, can you connect the server you’ve installed to my gaming site?”
Bei Li nodded her head and climbed onto Lu Wu’s chair, then started running her fingers on the
keyboard. She pulled up the backend management system of his little gaming site, keyed in the coding
of the artifact’s server, and while she was at it, she specially added an image.
The image was a circle formation with words written on the inside, making it look extremely mysterious.
Bei Li pressed the enter button and gave a single nod, “Done!”
“It’s that easy?” Lu Wu asked suspiciously.
“Yes, I have linked the server to this image, which shows the formation of spirit extradition. As long as
the player downloads this little game of yours, which is actually just an empty nutshell, the content of
the game will be sent to the virtual reality headset of the player. Then, the image of the spirit extradition
formation will automatically appear in the mind of the player, and his or her spirit will be sucked into the
server. From there, it’ll be sent straight to the underworld.”
Lu Wu was glad to have Bei Li on his side. With this secured plan, there was no way that the players
would know that they were in the underworld, they would think that it was all part of the game.
In this generation where technology was advancing, and since the invention of the virtual reality
headset, it has become a high demand for all of the game developer companies to constantly find ways
to improve the details of the games.
As long as Lu Wu declared that the simulation of his game was near perfect, no one was going to dig
up any problems at all.
“What name do you think I should give this game?” Lu Wu anticipated her reply.
Although he was the true creator of the game, he thought it was best to give the honor of naming it to
Bei Li instead.
Bei Li was stunned by his request as she realized she was of much importance to Lu Wu.
“Then we shall name it after the artifact. Let’s call it Battle Online. This was actually one of the wildest
dreams of the ruler of Beiqi.”
Lu Wu agreed to her suggestion with a strong nod. He lifted her down from the chair, pulled up the
backend management system, uploaded an icon for the game and typed in the words ‘Battle Online’
into the empty text box under the title line.
In a split second, Lu Wu’s game had been successfully uploaded onto the internet platform.
In order to attract users, Lu Wu had posted that little game of his onto the main page of his website.
Then the two sat like ducks and waited.
An hour passed… two… and just like that three hours had gone by. Bei Li turned to look at Lu Wu and
asked, “Why has no one tried to download it?”
Her question put Lu Wu in an awkward position, as he knew that the number of users that visited his
website was poor.
Not to mention that a typical small-scale game would only take up tens or hundreds of gigabytes.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Some games that had more than half of all users took up space starting in the terabytes, however that
little game of his only took up 800MB, and this first impression was not really appealing to users.
As he was deep in thought, Lu Wu once again pulled up the backend management system and added
a few words to the introduction of the game.
“This game has been carefully developed by this website for a period of 10 years and has been tested
multiple times, almost achieving a 100% positive feedback. This website clearly states that there is no
charge for this game.”
Satisfied with his editing, Lu Wu and Bei Li once again went back to waiting.
One hour… two hours…
Just as the two were beginning to lose their patience, thinking that it was better to wrack their brains for
yet another solution, the artifact suddenly blinked, followed by a message which popped up in Lu Wu’s
mind.
[Ding! Player Wang Damang has registered into the battle server!]
As she read Lu Wu’s expression, Bei Li immediately grabbed hold of his hand and shut her eyes,
searching for the appearance of the new player.
……
10 minutes ago.
Wang Damang exited the game with a bored face and started the update for the game Atlantis.
Atlantis was currently the most popular game out there. The number of players was practically
overflowing. It occupied 8% of the stock market. Its level of simulation has reached 55%. It was rich in
content and had a very wide audience, where Wang Damang was one of the players.
After exiting the game, he went to grab some snacks from the fridge, then scrolled through his browser
folder and randomly picked a website that featured small games. He decided to play around with them
a bit before returning to his computer when the update had been completed.
Coincidentally, his pick landed on Lu Wu’s website.
Wang Damang scanned through the website and saw that there were countless posts of game icons.
Then, his eyes landed on the most appealing one posted on the main page, and clicked it.
“Pff! Ha! Ha!”
While Wang Damang was reading the introduction, he suddenly choked on his food and coughed it out.
A game of 800MB has reached almost 100% positive feedback, and this was confirmed by the website
itself, not to mention the free entry.
Wang Damang’s eyes widened, “The boss of this website must be so hungry for money that he’s gone
mad. He ought to add the fact that you can level up to Level 999 with just one swing of a sword while
he’s at it!”
He shook his head and was just about to exit the game when he suddenly stopped and recalled the
recent news, urging people to report fraud in games.
There was something about a reward for issuing the report.
This made Wang Damang laugh out loud as he thought to examine the game thoroughly, then write a
report regarding the matter and hand it in to the internet police.
With this, Wang Damang willingly pressed the button to download the game.
800MB was nothing compared to the current speed of the internet, it was only a matter of seconds
before the download was complete. He stuffed the rest of the food into his mouth and put on his virtual
reality headset and his set of gaming clothes.
A list of game icons appeared on the screen, which had all been downloaded and played by him.
He reached out his hand and swiped, skimming through the icons until he reached the one for Battle
Online. Wang Damang smiled internally, fully preparing himself for the visual impact.
As the game started, the body of Wang Damang in the real world collapsed to the ground.
However, from his view, an icon of a formation appeared right before him and a feeling of
weightlessness greeted him. When he finally opened his eyes, he was taken aback by the scene
before him.
Under the glow of the red moon, blood-colored rain poured down on him. A gust of wind surrounded
him, making him feel as if he was in hell.
Everything before his eyes was so realistic that Wang Damang had to pinch himself to make sure that
he was not dreaming. Although he felt a slight pain from that, Wang Damang was still almost convinced
that the place was real.
“How can this be, how can an 800MB game create such a realistic virtual world? Unless this game only
features this very scene? But such a scene would still take up more than 800MB of space!”
Wang Damang was stunned by the whole setting before him. He bent down and picked up a fallen leaf,
examining its patterns. Unexpectedly, the graphics were so clear and detailed that it left him in a daze
once more.
At that moment, the storyline that Bei Li had made up emerged before Wang Damang.
[When the greatest catastrophe of the past tens of thousands of years befell, His Excellency of the
underworld, the King of Beiqi, came to resist the disasters and gave up his life to save billions of souls.
Sadly, right after the ruler of Beiqi had passed, his subordinates turned their backs on the kingdom,
splitting the land of Beiqi into separate territories. As the rightful heir to the throne of Beiqi, it is time for
you to step into the light and go on a journey to reclaim glory for your ancestors!]
After the storyline faded away, another instruction came popping into his mind:
[Please choose your character class:]
Three templates of character classes surfaced before Wang Damang’s eyes.
A powerful warrior with an enormous sword, a mage with a staff, and an assassin with a dagger stood
in front of him.
Wang Damang was stunned for a moment. Then, he reached out and chose the one with the
assassin’s figure.
All of a sudden, a ray of light encircled the figure that had been chosen by Wang Damang, as if it was a
flower that was gradually blooming. The figure came alive, like he was being resurrected from the
dead, but then the dagger flew free from his grasp, hovering in circles around his body. The killing
machine in him suddenly surfaced.
“I live for darkness, I serve for darkness… I carry the Grim Reaper’s scythe wherever I go… I bloom in
death for eternity… I am a terminator!”
The voice coming from the figure was cold, leaving Wang Damang with his jaw dropped in shock, as if
the person standing in front of him was real.
“This is really cool!”
Lu Wu who was watching everything unfold before him through the artifact was also taken aback by the
character classes created by Bei Li.
