This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

In the game "Cultivation Fantasy", "The Way of Heaven" is a very special concept product.

The special thing is that Tiandao is not only the core program of the game "Cultivation Fantasy", but also a relatively independent program. It has a separate task process...

This statement sounds a bit convoluted.

It is easy to understand if you think of it as an input method for a computer/mobile phone.

The input method itself is a piece of software, but it can be awakened in other software at will. To a certain extent, it can cover all application scenarios.

The same goes for the way of heaven!

If the player does not exit the game, but hangs the game in the background and cuts the screen to do other things, during this period, Tiandao will cover other software like input method software and will still be running and awake.

If the core code was written by Chen Ba, even if it could cover other software, it would most likely not be so outrageous and abnormal.

But the core code comes from the system...

This makes perfect sense!

Chen Ba didn't know how the system generated the code. Anyway, the specific effects were already reflected.

Repair is impossible.

Not to mention that Chen Ba simply does not have the ability to make major or magical changes to the code provided by the system. To put it another way, even if he had this ability, he would not act rashly.

the reason is simple……

Although this bug has been discovered, there are still many unknown factors regarding the triggering conditions and actual application scenarios of the bug.

For example, Chen Ba still hasn't figured out whether there are any other triggering conditions besides the situations that have been discovered?

"Probably there is..."

Xiao Lu said calmly: "Take the discoverer of the bug "Qingbao is not a cat" as an example. He used different games to achieve the same effect. "

This proves that the coverage of heaven in "Cultivation Fantasy" is very wide, at least it can cover most games.

"Hunting Time"?

This thing is not a necessary condition. Even if this game is not available, there are other games. According to Xiaolu's test results, any game with online functions can replace "Hunting Time".

This includes even Tianba Studio's own games such as "Star Emperor" and "Don't Leave After School".

That's right!

Xiao Lu did the same experiment with "Starry Sky Emperor" and came to a conclusion that is not outrageous, that is, the judgment mechanism of this heavenly program is very broad.

As long as the Tiandao program is running in the background, no matter what you are playing or doing, nothing can escape Tiandao's monitoring range.

Not only that.

During the test, Xiao Lu also discovered a particularly interesting point.

That is, there is an implicit precondition for the merit rewards issued by Tiandao, that is, your game behavior must meet Tiandao's standard of "accumulating virtue and doing good".

What does this sentence mean?

This means that the Tiandao program running in the background can not only read the player's taskbar status at the moment, but also determine whether the player's actions are positive and positive!

Damn, this is awesome.

It is not difficult to achieve the former, and many software can do the same thing. But achieving the latter is difficult, especially judging player behavior in different games, which is simply miraculous.

In response to this, Xiao Lu proposed to deal with the bugs in the game in a low-key manner. Do not announce it for the time being or make any major changes. Instead, study it for a period of time.

He thought it was simple.

After all, from the second beta to the current open beta of "Cultivation Fantasy", a total of two players have triggered this bug. Not many people know about it, and it has not had much impact on the game.

As long as a silence order is issued to Guo Mo and Dr. Qin, strictly prohibiting them from leaking information, then this incident can be eliminated invisible.

"It's too late..."

Chen Ba understood what Xiao Lu was thinking, because he thought the same way at first.

Since this bug is difficult to solve and the research value is relatively high, you can hide it secretly without telling the players and pretend that nothing happened.

Maybe they can solve this seemingly contradictory problem after studying it for a while?

But not long after he came up with this idea, he discovered that a third player with "abnormal merit" appeared in the game.

That's not the point...

The point is that this guy, like Dr. Qin, also grasped the distribution pattern of abnormal merit rewards and made a video of it to the public.

By the time Chen Ba found out, the video had been uploaded for nearly three hours and had nearly 500,000 views!

Is this still a secret?

Once the video spread, the news lost its confidentiality value. After all, too many people have seen the video and it has been passed on to others. After a while, everyone will know the truth.

"ah?"

Xiao Lu didn't expect that after a player discovered a game bug, he would make a video and make it public without saying hello.

He went to Tianba Community to take a look.

Sure enough, the players in the community were already in a frenzy at this time, and almost all of them were discussing the situation mentioned in the video.

"So outrageous? Can you accumulate merit by playing other games?"

"Smash players are ecstatic! I just tried it. League of Legends can also trigger merit rewards, but the premise is that you have to play foreign servers..."

"It's okay to play on the national server! You don't have to play on the foreign server. You can also get merit rewards by punishing those disgusting players in the national server. If you don't believe me, look at the picture "Screenshot.JPG""

"Everyone has made a mistake, including UP who made the video. It does not mean that you can get merit rewards for targeting foreign players, or there may be no rewards..."

"That's right! If you encounter someone who spits shit, whether it's a foreigner or a Chinese, just target him hard and you'll be done with it. There's a high chance you'll get merit rewards!"

Players are all great detectives.

As the video of the UP further spread, more and more players confirmed that this bug does exist in "Cultivation Fantasy".

Ever since, with the active exploration of the players, new rules were quickly summarized.

"In competitive games, the number of kills minus the number of deaths, commonly known as the net KD value, can roughly estimate the amount of merit rewards."

Xiao Lu looked at the content displayed on the screen and read word by word: "But this is not absolute. Different games have different ratios of net KD into merit..."

League of Legends is an example.

In the game League of Legends, the player's net KD value conversion rate to merit is slightly lower than that of a game like "Hunting Hour."

However, according to actual testing by players, this is also a scoring situation.

A player with the community nickname "Brother Tianshu Feng" showed a screenshot of the game. In the screenshot, he is a jungler with a record of 21/1/7.

He said that he went to the US server specifically to play this game, and the players on the opposite side were basically all Americans.

21-1=20!

If according to the net KD algorithm, if he kills so fiercely in this round, Heaven will definitely give out a large number of merit rewards, with a minimum guarantee of 10 points.

But in fact, after playing this game, he only received two merit points!

This is very unreasonable...

When I play Leopard Girl as a jungler, I have a stack of killing books. I kill wherever I go. The opponents are all native players from the US server. I didn't kill the wrong person. Why only give me this little merit reward?

Another player who likes to play APEX also said that this transformation of merit is not just for foreigners.

He revealed his test results.

The game used for testing was the popular battle royale FPS game "APEX" on the Steam platform. He and his teammates went to the Japanese server to catch the Neon Devils.

As a result, he was unlucky. The roll point was destroyed by the handle brother, and the three-person team only managed to escape with him alive.

There is no future for a lone wolf.

If all your teammates are wiped out, not only can you not pick up the sign to resurrect, but you can't create a sign either. You can only be a lone wolf hiding in the corner and trying to figure out the rankings.

In this case, it would be good if you could get into the top ten in this game. As for merit rewards, let’s consider it in the next game!

The player thought so too, so he didn't want to play anymore. He planned to take advantage of other teams to enter the circle, carry out a sneak attack and pick up the heads of random people to die.

As a result, he accidentally bumped into a cheating dog. He was directly discovered by the cheating brother, and he was almost taken away by the X-ray + micro-lock shuttle.

Fortunately, the parameters of this plug-in dog were not adjusted high, and the game was relatively stupid. He acted unscrupulously because of the plug-in, and was directly killed by his delayed high-throw thunder, completing the achievement of Zhu Xian!

After killing the plug-in, the player with remaining health was also taken away by other passing teams.

In this round of the game, he only killed this one person, and his ranking was not in the top ten. It can be said that he was miserable...

But when he quit the game and switched back to "Fantasy of Cultivation", he discovered that after killing the cheats and completing "Zhu Xian", Heaven directly gave him a 100-point merit reward.

"How many?"

Chen Ba scratched his ears and asked in disbelief: "Are you kidding me, a hundred points of merit reward?"

"That's right, it's one hundred points!"

Xiao Lu nodded, then handed the phone to Brother Ba and said, "This is what he said himself, and it also comes with a screenshot. It is indeed 100 points of merit."

Chen Ba took the phone and took a look, and sure enough he saw the screenshot posted by the player, including the system notification bar message and the 100 merit points displayed on the personal information panel.

"Why give so much?"

"Because he killed a cheat, this is the only reasonable explanation. Other than that, I really can't think of any reason why Heaven would distribute 100 points of huge merit..."

Are the rewards for killing cheats so high?

Chen Ba thought at first, would this be too excessive? After all, putting 100 points of merit in "Cultivation Fantasy" is very valuable!

But then he thought about it, in this type of FPS competitive game, "killing immortals" is definitely a very difficult task. There are definitely not many players who can do this, so although this reward is outrageous, it is understandable.

That's not the point...

The point is that the Tiandao program detected that the other party was a cheating player, so it distributed huge merit rewards to Zhu Xian's players.

what's the situation?

The Tiandao program also has a powerful anti-cheating detection function, which can identify who cheated in a game?

…

The powerful Tiandao program of "Cultivation Fantasy" simply brings huge surprises to players.

Yes, surprise!

Most of the players of "Cultivation Fantasy" are troubled by the lack of merit, and they have tried all kinds of ways to achieve merit. Guide posts are posted every day.

But even so, the merit is still not enough.

After all, in the game "Cultivation Fantasy", the role of merit is really great. Having enough merit is even better than the krypton gold boss!

Just when everyone was worrying about this, news suddenly broke that the Tiandao program was running in the background and you could gain merit by playing other games...

For players who are distressed by their lack of merit, this is like a sudden burst of rain after a long drought!

What, an invasion of privacy?

Before the game is launched, you are asked to check and agree to the "xx Privacy License" by default. Don't you know?

If you are worried, just exit and uninstall the game.

Anyway, after exiting the game, the Tiandao program automatically terminates the process, so there is no privacy violation issue.

Anyway, for players who are addicted to "Cultivation Fantasy", instead of worrying about privacy issues, it is better to think about how to use this precious time to gain more merit!

Brothers, hurry up. What if Brother Ba fixes this bug in two days and there are no more merits to earn?

What’s more…

Because he was worried that this bug would be fixed and there would be no loopholes to exploit, Tianba Studio had already spoken Brother Ba's lines in advance before Tianba Studio expressed its stance.

"Don't talk nonsense. What kind of game bug is this? This is obviously a game mechanism carefully designed by Brother Ba. Am I right, Brother Ba?"

Chen Ba: "..."

He was really speechless about the situation where the player took the initiative to defend himself and even quoted classic lines.

Come on, these players have said all his lines, what else can he say?

Ah, yes, yes, you are right!

The players took the initiative to step down, and it seemed that almost 90% of the players were not in favor of fixing the bug. Chen Ba followed suit and admitted the matter.

no way!

It doesn't matter if he doesn't admit it. After all, if he doesn't admit it, then he has to fix the bug. But if he had this ability, he wouldn't have made the "Cow Herding Simulator" joke.

"Yes, this is the game mechanism!"

In order to save face, Chen Ba had to make up a set of rhetoric, emphasizing that "Cultivation Fantasy" is the most "inclusive" MMO online game in history.

What is inclusion?

Of course, it refers to players of "Cultivation Fantasy". They don't need to play this game at ordinary times. They only need to hang the game in the background and allocate their time to other games.

Is this inclusive enough?

Other MMO online games, for the sake of daily activity and online number, work hard to create "online activities" and "sign-in rewards", etc., for fear that players will leave them.

"Cultivation Fantasy" is better. This game focuses on the freedom of one player.

You can play whatever games you like. You don't have to think about how you feel about "Cultivation Fantasy". You just need to hang the game on the background taskbar and switch the screen to take a look from time to time.

To be honest, Chen Ba was even moved by himself.

They put all their efforts into making an MMO online game, but in the end, they sent players to the arms of friends and merchants, encouraging players to spend more time playing other games, instead of always being stuck in "Cultivation Fantasy" and not doing their job properly.

What a noble sentiment this is?

Looking at the entire MMO online game circle, which game is more selfless than "Cultivation Fantasy"? Looking at the entire gaming industry, which game producer is greater than Chen Ba?

I am busy killing the New Year pig, cutting and mincing the meat, bacon and stuffing sausages, entertaining relatives and friends, so there is only one chapter, red bean paste in private Marseille...
