Chapter 128 Excellent Matching Mechanism
The favorability curve is a substitute made by Chen Ba after the favorability numerical system was cancelled in "Love Staff".
To put it simply.
He did not want to use specific values, such as +10 points or -20 points of favorability, to reflect the character's favorability, but instead used a curve fluctuation chart with countless values.
This thing was designed with no thought of being used on players, and it was not designed for players.
But because of the confusion in the underlying logic of the game, this favorability curve can also be used by players...
That’s not the point! The point is that there is not only a curve, but that the curve has certain “strange” properties, quite magical properties.
Chen Ba and Xiao Lu tried many times.
But unfortunately, no matter how they tested, they could not reproduce the situation described by Zhang Pengfei in the post, that is, after the favorability conditions were met, interactive options such as "holding hands", "confession", and "hug" appeared.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Lu couldn't figure it out, so he not only did what Brother Ba said, he also went to the forum to carefully study Zhang Pengfei's post to make sure that the steps were correct.
But the test never went ahead.
The favorability curve will change, but the change will not be significant, and it will never unlock more intimate interactions.
"What the hell?"
Chen Ba also found it incredible, but he was knowledgeable and knew more inside information than Xiao Lu, so he proposed a hypothesis: Does it have to be one man and one woman? This one man and one woman does not refer to the gender of the character controlled by the player, but the gender of the player?
What? This is impossible? ! It's definitely possible! And Chen Ba thinks that this possibility is still very high. After all, this thing is most likely the work of the Iron-headed System. How can it not distinguish between men and women? "Change the real-name authentication."
Chen Ba advised: "Use your girlfriend's information to register the account, and then try again."
"Okay, I'll go tell him."
Xiao Lu is having a hot relationship with Xiao Xin, a customer service representative at Xianyu Digital. They are boyfriend and girlfriend, so to get her to cooperate with the test, he just needs to say hello.
After changing the test subject, Chen Ba continued the test and found that the favorability curve changed more obviously this time, but it still had the old problem and could not unlock further intimate interactions.
“Isn’t this enough?”
Xiao Lu scratched his head, thinking that this thing was simply too weird.
When this happens, either the player Zhang Pengfei is lying and the situation he described does not exist in the game.
Or maybe the test environment is wrong! But they have perfectly replicated the conditions described by Zhang Pengfei, and also found a female player who has passed the "real-name authentication" and is a real person in reality, so why is it still not working?
"Hey! I don't believe it..."
"Let me try! Isn't this game about choosing the right dish based on your skill level? I play this game with my real girlfriend, but it can't be triggered either?"
Xiao Lu was just joking and didn’t think it was true. He couldn’t figure it out anyway, so he just treated it as one more test!
But he didn't expect that when the test subject changed from Brother Ba to him, it had only been a short time since they started interacting, and their feelings had not improved at all, but the favorability curve was directly maxed out.
On the other side, Xiaoxin, a customer service representative who cooperated with the test, also said that many interactive options popped up directly on her side.
Xiao Lu also has it.
Hugs, confessions, holding hands, kissing...all the intimate interactions that should be unlocked were unlocked in an instant.
"Fuck!"
Chen Ba and Xiao Lu were both speechless.
This thing really depends on the dish?
Chen Ba and Xiao Lu couldn’t be detected, and Chen Ba and customer service Xiao Xin couldn’t be detected. When it was Xiao Lu and customer service Xiao Xin, they were hugging each other before they even started interacting to enhance their relationship?
What does that mean? A game that can identify whether the player in front of the screen is a man or a woman, can it also identify whether the players have feelings for each other? "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Xiao Lu felt that this was a coincidence, or a logical bug, and that such an outrageous thing should not exist.
On the surface, Chen Ba agreed with his guess, and it was indeed impossible for such an outrageous thing to exist. But deep down, Chen Ba had a vague guess.
This thing is still possible!
It's not that mysterious. In theory, AI should be able to judge the player's true gender and whether they have a good impression of each other based on some information it has and logical analysis of game behavior.
Is the game AI that smart?
Ordinary game AI, or the large language AI models developed by large companies at huge expense, probably cannot do this.
But if it is a foolish system, it is hard to say...
That's where the problem lies.
The chance encounter between General Feipeng and classmate Xiaolin, after all, is just the result of two like-minded people being matched together by chance, and then getting to know each other, and developing intersections or goodwill through small interactions in the game.
Then, it all came together naturally.
"It's just a coincidence!"
Chen Ba understood it completely.
There are indeed problems with the underlying code of "Love Staff". Many functional components used for NPCs can also be applied to players.
AI can also determine whether the player is of the opposite sex based on game behavior and other information.
This is not the end! If you want to replicate what Zhang Pengfei described in the post, there is another very important and core prerequisite - matching with two like-minded and correct people!
If we randomly match a man and a woman, can they create a spark of love like "General Fei Peng" and "Mr. Xiao Lin", and then develop feelings for each other and get together?
joke!
If it were really that simple, there wouldn’t be cases where someone has gone on dozens of blind dates without success.
How difficult is it to meet a person of the opposite sex who shares the same interests, is easy to talk to, and is highly compatible with you in this vast sea of people?
"Even if there was no "Love Advisor", the sparks of love would fly if these two people met!"
After an afternoon of tossing and turning, Chen Ba finally concluded: "'Love Staff' just provided Zhang Pengfei with an opportunity for a chance encounter, and he seized it."
What a coincidence! Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not incomprehensible.
I just asked for help, and then a girl of the opposite sex came who was very compatible with me, we were easy to talk to and had similar interests.
Since the release of "Love Staff", sales across all platforms have exceeded 200,000 copies.
Everyone knows.
The audience of dating games is generally between 16 and 30 years old. Middle-aged and elderly people are not interested in this type of game, and board games are more suitable for them.
As for the little kids under 16, let’s not even mention them!
What kind of dating game? If you have time to hang out with paper people, why not go to the canyon to fight? Why not go to P city to shoot steel guns? Why not travel to the continent of Teyvat?
Back to the original question.
Among 200,000 young men and women of similar age, Zhang Pengfei met his true love by chance. Is this hard to understand? It's just like buying a lottery ticket. If many people buy it, there will always be a lucky winner. Moreover, strictly speaking, this probability is slightly higher than the winning rate of the lottery! ...
Tianba Studio unanimously believes that it was a coincidence that the two players, "General Feipeng" and "Mr. Kobayashi", met and fell in love through "Love Staff".
Even if the game has problems, or bugs, you can interact with other players just like attacking NPCs.
But how lucky would it be to meet the right person through a game among so many people? Do you want to do it a second time? Don't dream!
Watch less of Zhang Pengfei’s posts showing off his affection and face the reality honestly. You don’t have that blessing and luck. A paper wife is still more attractive!
This is a fact…
But many players were stimulated by Zhang Pengfei and refused to believe it.
I bought the same game for 68 yuan. If Zhang Pengfei can do it, why can't I? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
Zhang Pengfei's deeds touched many players and made everyone more keen to "ask for help" and "help others."
For a while.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The game environment of "Love Staff" has changed a lot. It was previously played as a love-development game, but after Zhang Pengfei's story fermented, it suddenly became a social dating software.
Strategy for NPC?
Who wants to help NPCs? Isn't it more fun to meet new friends through the two functions of asking for help and helping NPCs?
At first, there was no problem.
But as time goes by, as the frequency of using the "ask others for help" and "help others" functions increases, more and more players have discovered a very interesting fact.
What's going on?
How come the teammates matched in this game, that is, the dog-headed military advisor who came to help, are all so "gettable"?
If you are matched with a player of the same sex, it is likely that they are people of the same age with the same interests and hobbies. You will have a feeling of having met a soulmate, and the two of you will soon develop into good friends/best friends who can talk about anything.
If you are matched with a player of the opposite sex, it is not just a matter of interests and hobbies, but an all-round complementarity or compatibility.
This is such a surprise!
Who can resist a person of the opposite sex with whom you can get along well and who is attractive in every way?
There is a saying that goes:
The so-called "fear of marriage" and "celibacy" of many young people are actually because they have not met the right person.
Are those young people who keep saying "If there is no woman in my heart, I will be a god when I draw the sword" and "Men will only affect my progress" really free of distractions?
Yes, but very few! Most people who claim that being single is the best choice for them until they grow old will actually fall in love with the right person.
No kidding.
99% of young men and women actually desire love, but the fire in their hearts is extinguished by the cruel reality.
But the game "Love Staff" has made many people yearn for love again.
Because the players you match with here are really suitable for you. Before you meet him/her, you can't even imagine that there is someone who understands you so well.
Tianba official website.
It was originally a discussion section for "Love Advisers", but ever since Zhang Pengfei started it, it has become a special area for dog food.
In just two weeks, the game sales did not increase much, but "Love Advisor" has actually brought together nearly 100 couples...
Even the first couple to get married will be born soon! That’s right!
Zhang Pengfei, who was the first to post to show his love for his girlfriend, told everyone in his latest post that he had met his girlfriend's parents and had also informed his family about the situation.
After communication, the parents of both parties decided to hold a wedding for the two in Zhang Pengfei's hometown next month...
It's not just Zhang Pengfei.
Several other couples also said that after meeting offline, they were very satisfied with each other and decided to stay together for a while and talk about marriage if there were no major problems.
“What the hell! What the hell!”
"Browse the forum every day and you can always get enough dog food..."
"As a Star Emperor player, I don't understand so I ask, is this game really that magical?"
"@Gumua Sect Leader @Cowherding Sect Leftover Woman, Gumua Sect Leader kidnapped the Saint of our Cowherding Sect through this game. Isn't that amazing?"
"I emphasize again, it's a leftover woman, not a saint!"
"The Saint who was personally canonized by the High Priest of the Cowherding Cult is representing the Cowherding Cult and the Gu Mua Sect in a marriage. It is useless if you do not approve..."
Huh?! When Chen Ba opened the forum again, he felt as if the world was about to end after waking up from a nap.
The Cowherd Cult and the Gu Mua Cult reached a century-long reconciliation, and sent a saint to marry the Gu Mua leader, and from then on they formed an offensive and defensive alliance? What the hell are you talking about? Chen Ba, who felt that he was behind the times and couldn't understand what these players were discussing, carefully understood what happened.
It turned out that he was the current leader of the Gu Mua sect. When playing "Love Staff", he met and got to know the leftover girl of the Cowherd Sect because of the excellent matching mechanism. The two fell in love at first sight...
The top leaders of the Cowherd Sect felt that this was an opportunity to ease the conflict between the two factions, so the high priest made the final decision and canonized the "leftover Cowherd Sect girl" as the "Holy Girl of the Cowherd Sect", and the two families became friends.
They don't want to fight anymore.
The Cowherd Sect and the Gu Mua Sect have been fighting for so long, but they still can't determine who is superior.
Not only that, but because of the conflict between the two families, the two big winners, Tianshu Holy Land and Shen'en Church, grew rapidly and became the new overlords of Tianba Community.
We can't continue the internal fighting.
The Tianshu Holy Land is backed by the Immortal Road, with countless Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings, and even powerful people in the realm of sacrifice, with overwhelming power! Although the Divine Grace Church does not have high-level combat power, it has a broad foundation, spreading its faith all over the world, and its believers are spread all over the heavens and the worlds...
Under the threat of these two families, the Cowherd Sect and the Gu Mua Sect unanimously decided to take this opportunity to join forces and fight against the enemy together!
"It's getting fierce."
"The Gu Mua sect reconciled with the Cowherd Sect? It seems that I am still asleep. How could such a thing happen!" Zhong Shengwei exclaimed in amazement.
“That’s all you saw?”
Chen Ba said solemnly, "Compared to the reconciliation between the Cowherd Cult and the Gu Mua Cult, isn't it the game "Love Staff" that deserves our attention more?"
Magical matching mechanism! Since Zhang Pengfei posted a post revealing that players can attack other players, in just half a month, dozens of posts showing affection appeared.
Isn’t it said that Zhang Pengfei’s case was just a coincidence?
How come as time goes by, there are more and more coincidences, and more and more players find their other half through the game "Love Advisor"? This matchmaking success rate is so high that even professional matchmakers would call it an expert!
