Chapter 247: World Server Status
Feng Liang looked completely baffled: "Where... where did this come from? Who built it?"
The bystanders nearby all turned to look at Chen Mo in unison.
Feng Liang sent a "shocked" expression: "Master! Please accept my knee! Your house is way too awesome, teach me how to build it!"
Chen Mo made a "scratching head" expression: "Oh, I can't really explain it. I just pictured what this thing should look like in my head, and then built it. Maybe I'm just naturally talented from playing with blocks too much."
Feng Liang said in shock: "Then, dare I ask, what's your profession, master?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Hmm, professional block-stacking player?"
Feng Liang made an "admiring" expression: "Master is incredible! I'm in awe! Truly worthy of being a pro!"
Lin Xue was barely holding back her laughter beside him.
The bystanders in the live chat couldn't hold it in anymore and started flooding the screen.
"Damn, Chen Mo's showing off again!"
"Kill this show-off!"
"Since when did you become a professional block-stacking player! Have some shame!"
"And what's this about picturing it in your head and then building it? Why don't you just go die?"
"I've never seen someone so shameless!"
Of course, the bystanders on-site had no idea about any of this. They were all gathered around the house, carefully studying its structure.
After studying it for a while, they decided to stop, because no matter how much they analyzed it, there was no way they could build an exact replica with their skill level.
They glanced at the three small wooden cabins nearby, and no one even wanted to move into them anymore.
Chen Mo said: "You can take the blueprint for this house. As long as you gather enough materials, you can build it directly."
Feng Liang said in surprise: "Huh? Master, you're just giving us the blueprint?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yeah, trade with me one by one."
As soon as they heard about free blueprints, everyone got excited and lined up to trade with Chen Mo.
After generating the blueprint for this house, Chen Mo gave one copy to everyone present.
"Thanks, master! You're amazing!"
The bystanders happily took their blueprints and couldn't wait to gather materials and build houses. Feng Liang found the three small wooden cabins increasingly annoying, so he just demolished them all and started rebuilding from scratch.
Everyone's enthusiasm was at an all-time high. They were all frantically chopping down trees, stripping the area for hundreds of meters bare, and even digging a huge cave in the mountain.
Feng Liang gathered the remaining materials, chose an empty plot of land, and leveled it.
Then, he took out the blueprint, selected the area, and placed it.
Block by block, materials materialized out of thin air, stacking up layer by layer automatically. The materials in Feng Liang's inventory steadily decreased until, finally, a two-story building identical to the previous one appeared.
"Awesome!" Feng Liang couldn't wait to dive into the building, pushing open the doors to each room and wandering around.
After a while, Feng Liang came out and asked Chen Mo: "Master, can I modify this house?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Of course, change it however you want. But once you modify it, you can't generate a new blueprint from it. It has to be completely original."
Feng Liang said: "Alright, thanks, master! I'll study the structure of this house carefully!"
This two-story building greatly ignited the players' enthusiasm. They all studied its structure and tried to build one from scratch on their own.
Chen Mo said to Lin Xue: "You keep playing. I need to log out and check the status of players across the world servers."
Lin Xue nodded vaguely: "Mm, okay."
...
Exiting the VR game pod, Chen Mo came down from the second floor of the experience store to the studio.
Seeing Chen Mo arrive, Qian Kun came over to greet him.
"Store manager, sales are going great. We've already broken ten thousand!" Qian Kun said excitedly.
Chen Mo said "Oh" and replied: "So, should we open the second world server? Keep an eye on it; it might keep growing."
"Got it, don't worry, store manager," Qian Kun said, then went back to monitoring the game data.
So far, "My World" had been released for less than 24 hours, so the full data wasn't out yet. But based on estimates, first-day sales of 15,000 should be no problem.
This number wasn't particularly impressive, considering "Don't Starve" had first-day sales of 24,000, and "My World" in its previous life had set a record of over 100 million sales.
But of course, platform factors had to be considered. In this world, VR games naturally had fewer users than PC and mobile, and the sales miracle of "My World" in its previous life was built on multiple platforms like PC, mobile, and consoles.
For now, Chen Mo had only released it on the VR platform and only in China, so lower sales were normal.
Still, by VR game sales standards, this number was quite good. The key point was that "My World" was very cheap, and many of Chen Mo's fans who owned VR game pods bought it without hesitation.
Of course, Chen Mo's two videos, "Forbidden City" and "Old Summer Palace," also played a great role in promotion.
Chen Mo wasn't worried. "My World" was a game with high replay value that gained momentum later on. Once players fully immersed themselves, the game would reveal its true charm.
Chen Mo found a computer, logged into the backend management interface, and checked the current server status.
Based on the current progress, 10,000 players had already filled World Server 1. These players were born in different corners of the world, frantically exploring, gathering materials, and building houses.
Of course, not all 10,000 would stay. Chen Mo estimated that as long as 3,000 remained, the world could run smoothly.
On the screen was a massive map of the entire world. In reality, the world was a star system composed of eight planets. The total surface area of these planets was 100,000 square kilometers, averaging about 10,000 per planet.
Chen Mo had arranged these planets in the order of the eight planets in the solar system. Players spawned by default on Earth, the third planet.
10,000 square kilometers spread across 10,000 people meant each person had about 1 square kilometer. That meant just the surface alone had 1 million blocks, not to mention underground. With that many blocks, players had plenty to work with.
Of course, players wouldn't all go solo. They would definitely form guilds and build together. More likely, a guild of 100 people would occupy a few hundred square kilometers and carry out planned renovations.
The player status on the screen matched Chen Mo's expectations. On the terrain map, there were many glowing dots representing active players.
Currently, players were still clustered near their spawn points. Different spawn points were separated by vast distances, and different guilds hadn't come into contact yet.
All the guilds were busy building with great enthusiasm.
