Chapter 174 Chapter 174 There is a bug. It’s very simple…
It is very simple to fix a bug, but the problem is that this thing is generated once and cannot be changed.
"It's normal to have bugs..." Wen Qian coughed softly. "Which game doesn't have some bugs?"
After becoming a producer from a player, Wen Qian's position also changed. It is normal to have some bugs. Can't you still continue to play? As long as you can continue to play, it's fine.
"Just treat it as a daily cycle theme!" Wen Qian tried to remedy the situation. If the game was difficult to change, then he would look for a solution from the outside.
"What if we can't reach the end?" Lin Huai asked the crucial question, "Even if it's endless mode, it can't be this endless."
Wen Qian: “…”
Good question. So why does this bug exist? Her settings should be fine. As long as she completes the first day's tasks, she can reach the second day's timeline.
Since she doesn't have to write code, there shouldn't be a problem with setting an increment in a loop, right? Could it be that the system wrote current_day + = 1 as current_day = 1?
"Huh?" Zhou Zhu stared at his phone for a moment, stunned. "I just went through the mission again, and it seems I've made it to the second day normally."
Wen Qian, who was looking through the previous synthesis records to see where the problem lay, looked up in confusion.
Normal again?
She watched Zhou Zhu advance the game from the second day to the third day and nodded happily: "Looks like it's all right, then it's all right."
"Wait a minute, how come everything is fine now?" Lin Huai choked. "Wasn't that cycle on the first day a big problem?"
"As long as it's playable, there's no need to worry too much about the small details." Wen Qian said cheerfully.
…Is this a small detail?
Wen Qian knew very well who the problem was, and it was definitely not Zhou Zhu and Lin Huai.
Obviously, the only thing that can cause the bug is the system!
Detective Wen shook his head slowly. The system was still too unreliable.
When I want to find the problem, I can't find it. When I don't want to find it, the problem pops up by itself.
After confirming that the game could be played semi-normally, Wen Qian gave up looking for bugs. She withdrew her gaze and was about to exit the synthesis interface when her expression paused.
In the synthesis history, in the column of used materials, she seemed to find something wrong - why was there an extra piece of paper related to the quest line that she put in the synthesis materials?
She looked carefully and found two identical "First Day" quest lines.
There was a duplicate when printing???
Virtual products cannot be put into the prop synthesis column, which is why Wen Qian printed out the completed task branch chart.
But she overlooked one thing - when she first tried the printer, she printed out a sheet in advance. She hadn't refreshed her [Manufacturing] skill for a long time and had forgotten about it.
The 1234 that should have been placed in the crafting column became 11234.
"It turns out that the culprit is not the system." Wen Qian said with some apology.
She spoke slowly: "The culprit turned out to be—the printer?"
"What printer?" Zhou Zhu, who had heard something, looked at Wen Qian blankly. "Are you going to print something?"
"Nothing." Wen Qian turned sideways and looked at the two of them. "You guys try it out first. If there's no problem, I'll contact the student union."
The works for the exhibition are ready, and the next things can be arranged.
Wen Qian was eager to prepare for the next task. In order to successfully complete Task 2, she specially set up an evaluation system in the game. As long as she could get enough positive reviews, the reward for Task 2 would be easily obtained.
As for whether students will be unwilling to give positive reviews...
How is that possible!
Regardless of others, some old friends will definitely support her. After all, they have always supported her in the past, and this time should be no exception.
I’ve decided. I’ll make time tomorrow to meet her good classmates in the Rose Class!

"Is this the game you made?" Loren looked at the slightly familiar scene on the phone screen with interest.
"Is this scene a restaurant?" he asked doubtfully. At first glance, it seemed a bit similar, but overall there were quite a few differences.
The picture is too dark, like a rainy day, and the buildings look strangely distorted.
Xiaolin, a self-taught painter: "Well, it's not well drawn, please bear with me."
"What's wrong with the painting?" Wen Qian, who had just walked in, overheard the conversation and denied it outright, "This is a picture we designed specifically."
Is there a problem with the perspective? Is the image too dark or gray? Is the lighting wrong?
How is this possible? It is obviously made like this on purpose. How could it be that the technology is not good enough?
"It's indeed very interesting." Loren accepted this statement and moved his fingertips slightly, allowing time to jump to the next day.
The background music for the cutscene started playing, and the ethereal piano music gave people an inexplicable chill on their backs. There were a few stuttering sounds in the middle, which sounded like distortion or someone sighing, making one's scalp tingle just by listening to it.
Loren paused: "This soundtrack."
"I played it!" Wen Qian said cheerfully, "There are several more."
"Is this done on purpose?" Loren hesitated.
"It's not intentional, it's just a coincidence." It's the piano's fault for entering hell mode at this moment, there's nothing we can do about it.
Hearing Wen Qian's words, Loren nodded. He paused and continued, "So this time was also specially set by you?"
It was clearly the second day, but the time showed it was still the first day.
Two members who were listening: ...No, that's a bug.
"Of course, this is also part of the game." Wen Qian said confidently.
Unaware of the true situation, Loren once again accepted Wen Qian's explanation. Weird images, weird dialogue, weird music, and weird timing—if he was right, this must be a horror game.
It is normal for the images in horror games to be dark, and the unbalanced proportions of the human body will make it more striking, with a bit of the uncanny valley feel.
The profound sentences in the characters' dialogues match well with this special background music.
The short time loop clearly tells players that something is wrong with the game.
After playing with this mentality for a while, the horrific plot that Loren imagined did not happen. He just looked up at Wen Qian while picking up the garbage.
"Did you set up some hidden links?" he asked doubtfully.
Loren didn't understand why he had been picking up trash and hadn't entered the main storyline yet.
"You've figured it out!" Wen Qian exclaimed in shock. "I thought it was well hidden."
"There's a trash can quest in the game. It's a blue trash can. Don't submit it after you complete the quest. Stand next to the trash can for a while and it will trigger it."
Loren lowered his head thoughtfully, restarted the game, and found the trash can task according to Wen Qian's instructions. This time, he did not go to the Environmental Protection Agency in the game to submit the task, but just stood there.
After about a few dozen seconds, a man in a black robe appeared next to the blue trash can.
Black-robed man: […Are you new here? Come on, I'll help you get rid of them.]
He took the packed garbage bag, and a string of red liquid dripped onto the ground.
Man in black robe: [Why didn't you clean it before giving it to me? Don't worry, I know it wasn't you who did it.]
[Want to know who the culprit is? Go to the restaurant and find the man with the knife. A kind reminder: be careful...]
The man in black robe laughed stiffly twice, dragged away the garbage bag and left behind a few gold coins.
Bloodstains, cleaned up, restaurant, knife, Loren thought for a moment, so the bag contained fragments of people?
The murderer seems to be the chef in the restaurant, and the man in black robe seems to be an insider, or even accustomed to it. What role does the player play in this?
"How is it?" Wen Qian said enthusiastically, "This part is well designed, isn't it?"
"It's really good." Loren nodded. The seemingly peaceful campus was actually very strange and unusual. If you didn't play it carefully, you might really think it was a game of picking up trash.
"This is specially designed." Wen Qian said proudly, "By the way, be careful when you go to the restaurant after you get the gold coins."
This is an easter egg plot that she set up after discussing with Zhou Zhu. The blue trash can is a recyclable trash can. After cleaning up the garbage inside, you can wait for the recycler to appear.
The waste can then be sold for money, and the garbage bag will burst when it is handed over, and the juice of the rotten tomatoes inside will drip out, indicating that someone has thrown kitchen waste into the recycling bin.
At this time, the recycling merchant will give a hint and ask the player to find the culprit, that is, the restaurant chef who littered.
The last line of the dialogue, "Be careful," is a reminder for players to be wary of chef scams. When players who have received the money walk into the restaurant, the chef will chase them and try to sell them beef noodles. If they are not careful, they will lose gold coins.
This task is designed perfectly. It not only popularizes the knowledge of garbage classification, but also reminds players to beware of fraud. It also has some elements of selling scrap. It's perfect!
"So the murderer is the chef, right? Will there be a chase next?" Loren turned sideways and looked at Wen Qian.
Murderer, do we need to use such a serious word? Wen Qian was puzzled.
But the chef was indeed the one who littered. Considering this, she nodded: "It's him. Chasing him isn't difficult, but being caught is very troublesome."
After all, if you are caught, you will lose gold coins.
Loren said with understanding: "I understand. He has a knife. If he is caught up, he will probably end up in the trash can."
Wen Qian was confused. What trash can?
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Huai hesitated and said, "Why do I feel like they are not talking about the same issue? Did Loren misunderstand?"
"Is there?" Zhou Zhu frowned and thought for a long time, "I don't think I heard anything wrong."
"It's just an ordinary environmental protection mission." She said casually, "This is the small plot I proposed to Wen Qian before. It's not difficult and there shouldn't be any problems."
Lin Huai: “…”
"You proposed it?"
Lin Huai, who originally felt it was just a little strange and didn't think there was anything wrong, suddenly suspected that there was a big problem.
No, he has to see what this mission plot is all about!
