Chapter 129 The game is only 68 yuan, and the gift for the banquet is 680 yuan!
There is also a problem with the matching mechanism!
There is no need to investigate or test this matter. You can know the answer just by looking at those 100 pairs of couples who play as players.
How was this done? Even as a game producer, Chen Ba couldn't figure out why this situation had occurred.
The matching mechanism he designed was clearly determined by the “time of seeking help”.
For example.
Zhang San initiates a request for help. Within one or three minutes, players who click "Help Others" will be matched with Zhang San and become love advisors.
For example.
Li Si wants to help others, so within one or three minutes of him submitting his application to the system, if Wang Wu asks for help, he will become Wang Wu's love advisor.
This is based on time.
This mechanism did not have this problem during the testing phase. The matching love advisor should be completely random. Unless you are extremely lucky, it is unlikely to meet a player with such a high degree of compatibility and such a good conversation.
"Is there a possibility..."
"Zhang San and Li Si both asked for help, and Wang Wu clicked on "help". Then the system would judge that Li Si needed Wang Wu's help more, and then Wang Wu would go to Li Si's side?"
Zhong Shengwei put forward a hypothesis.
The premise of this hypothesis is that if too many players request help or assistance at the same time, the matching mechanism will change its strategy and give priority to assigning "love consultants" who are more compatible and easier to talk to? "It's possible."
Chen Ba thought about it and this was the only explanation.
It's all thanks to Zhang Pengfei! If he hadn't posted that post, revealing the unique gameplay of "Love Advisor", other players wouldn't be envious, let alone actively use the help function.
Because of Zhang Pengfei's deeds, players have been using the help function very frequently during this period. There are even many people who are too lazy to conquer the NPC and are asking for help or helping others all day long.
Under this premise, it makes sense that the matching mechanism would change, causing the system to prioritize matching with love advisors who are more approachable and more compatible.
Because the matching love advisors are very compatible, if they are same-sex players, then it’s not a big deal.
But if it's the opposite sex, then there's a high probability that sparks will fly, and then...
“Damn it!”
Chen Ba said in annoyance: "I designed a set of NPC generation and behavior logic specifically for this game, and racked my brains to think of so many character settings and templates..."
Now it’s all gone to waste!
NPC? What's the point of conquering a paper man? If you want to conquer someone, go conquer a player! When it's done, Brother Ba will definitely be credited with a great achievement, and he will definitely be given wedding candy.
"Really?"
Hearing this, Xiao Lu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did they really give you wedding candy?"
"Bullshit wedding candy!"
When Chen Ba heard this, he became extremely angry.
Zhang Pengfei is so hateful and morally corrupt! You said you are getting married, what does it have to do with Chen Ba? He had to send a bag of wedding candy to Tianba Studio to disgust him, a single dog.
That's fine.
To be honest, although Chen Ba didn't say anything, he was quite happy in his heart when he received the wedding candies sent by the players.
But...
What Zhang Pengfei sent was not only wedding candy, but also an invitation to a wedding to be held next month.
He himself posted in the Tianba community that: Brother Ba must be invited to this wedding. No one is allowed to pick up their chopsticks if Brother Ba is not present!
Good, good, good! Chen Ba was so angry that smoke came out of his nose.
My friend only makes 68 yuan from selling you a game. You are not satisfied with 68 yuan to find a wife? You actually want to collect my share of the money and make back the 68 yuan? Zhang Pengfei, I advise you to be kind! "Fuck! If we sell him a game, not only will we not make any money, but we may even have to pay out of pocket?" Xiao Lu was stunned.
The game only costs 68 yuan.
Zhang Pengfei invited Brother Ba to attend his wedding. It would be fine if Brother Ba didn't go, but if he did go, he shouldn't give a gift? Otherwise, how could he eat at someone else's table?
As for the gift, 68 seems too much! And the round trip fare seems to be several hundred...
Brother Ba made a game, but he didn't make any money, and he even invested a lot of money? The only reward he got was a bag of wedding candy and a banquet? "Despicable villain!"
After Xiao Lu figured it out, he felt sorry for Brother Ba and said, "Brother Ba, please don't be fooled! We made 68 yuan plus a bag of wedding candy from him, which is already a big profit. We can't go to this wedding."
“I have to participate…”
Chen Ba sighed and said, "This guy has posted a message to the community, and he also said that I am his matchmaker. Is it okay if I don't show up?"
“I’ll delete the post…”
"it's useless!"
Before Xiao Lu finished speaking, Chen Ba explained, "This post has been seen and screenshoted by many players. It's useless even if you delete it."
Besides, there is no need to delete it.
It's his ability that he can find a wife in the game. As a half-matchmaker, Chen Ba should indeed attend the wedding.
He just thought, once this precedent is set, what if other players invite him to their weddings in the future? Should he attend everyone's wedding? It's not a big deal for ordinary games.
But the game "Love Advisor" is so weird! In just half a month, it has brought together more than a hundred couples. Who knows how many more couples will be brought together in the future?
If you attend every wedding, then what Xiao Lu said will really be true: the game is sold to you for 68 yuan, and the gifts for the wedding will be 680 yuan.
“The price is too low!”
The more Chen Ba thought about it, the more he regretted it. If he had known it would turn out like this, if he had known there would be someone as arrogant as Zhang Pengfei, he should have followed the example of the Japanese manufacturers and sold each copy for four or five hundred yuan.
Others don't know.
Anyway, selling the game "Love Staff" to Zhang Pengfei for 68 yuan was definitely a loss, and a huge loss.
He only paid 68 yuan, not only did he find a wife, but he also got a gift from Brother Ba. How come he got all the good things? Of course, this is just a joke.
To be honest, Zhang Pengfei's experience was something that not only other players envied, but Chen Ba was also quite envious.
Because the wife he found is really good.
Not to mention being gentle and considerate, she is also extremely beautiful! To use the popular online slang: With this appearance, the bride price would probably start at 800,000! The key is...
Zhang Pengfei and his girlfriend were in love with each other, and both parents were very satisfied, so the bride price was just a formality, and they even included a car as a dowry.
Don't ask Chen Ba how he knew that.
These are what Zhang Pengfei said in the post himself. Many players are very concerned about the follow-up of him and "Xiao Lin", so he often shares the progress in the post.
As for his wife's appearance, someone actually dug out their short video account, and then everyone went to see it.
This kid really got a bargain.
Before going to bed at night, Chen Ba kept thinking, compared with Zhang Pengfei, I am not bad in any aspect, right?
Then why is it that Yang Dong is snoring in his bed, while Zhang Pengfei can fall asleep with his wife in his arms?
Where did he lose?
…
Zhang Pengfei loves to share.
Since deciding to get married, he sorted out all his thoughts on playing "Love Advisor", as well as some screenshots and video materials, and edited them into a 10-minute video.
He not only posted this video on the Tianba community, but also uploaded it to Pili Pili.
Since it was purely a show of affection and love, he didn't expect many people to watch it. He just regarded it as a souvenir so that he could find it and look at it in two years.
But no one expected it.
His video went viral and made it onto Pili Pili’s site-wide popular list, with over a million views in just a few hours.
In addition to blessings and congratulations, the comments section is mostly asking what game he plays and how to find a perfect partner like "Xiao Lin" in the game?
"Love Staff"! After the release of this game, due to its subject matter and nature, the sales curve has been very smooth, and the game has never had too much fluctuation. It has unexpectedly entered the top three of the best-selling list in the Steam region.
This made Chen Bale very happy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is the second game from Tianba Studio that has the potential to be a "hit" so far, and it is also the second game to top the best-selling list.
The first one is "Divine Grace Continent".
However, the reason why "Shennun Land" became popular and its sales skyrocketed is actually because it took advantage of the popularity of "Shennun Animation", and it has little to do with the game itself.
"Love Staff" is different.
Although there are some external reasons for the popularity of this game, people are still interested in the game itself.
To be precise, what everyone is interested in is the game's magical player strategy mechanism and the even more magical matching mechanism that is more professional than some social software.
Whether it is making friends or simply looking for a partner, this is an excellent choice!
Many people have made new friends online through this game. Many people have also experienced online love for the first time in their lives through this game...
"Oh my, young people nowadays are having so much fun!"
Aunt Wang was a famous matchmaker in Xiaohuai Village. Her achievements were known throughout the surrounding area. Over the past few decades, she had brought together at least one or two hundred couples.
Her business has been good.
But in recent years, her performance has declined significantly due to the decline in marriage rates among the younger generation.
But having said that.
Even if the business volume declines, Aunt Wang is not very worried, because there is always a group of young men and girls who are urged by their families to go on blind dates and come to her with gifts.
If not her, who else can I look for?
Who has more resources of "single men and women" than the matchmaker? If they don't ask her to arrange blind dates, how can these young people have the opportunity to meet other single people of the opposite sex of the same age? Xiao Shen is her trump card.
This girl has a good personality and is pretty, and she is also good at doing housework. Such a good girl should have no shortage of people proposing marriage to her, and there is no need to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage.
But Xiao Shen is special. She is an internet anchor. She stays at home every day for work and never goes out. She has no chance to meet other people of the same age.
Aunt Wang was just thinking about which nice guy to introduce to Xiao Shen, when suddenly news came from the Shen family telling her not to worry about it because Xiao Shen had already brought his partner home.
ah?!
Where did Xiao Shen get his partner? When Aunt Wang came to Shen's house and asked, she learned that Xiao Shen found his partner on the Internet, which is what young people often call "online love."
"Can you find a partner by playing a game?" Aunt Wang was shocked.
"Of course not. I heard from my girlfriend that this game is amazing. It is said that it has brought together hundreds of couples in a month..."
Aunt Wang was so shocked by what Xiao Shen's mother said that she almost bit her tongue.
Hundreds of couples a month? What kind of efficiency and success rate is this? If this were in the matchmaking world, it would be a complete reincarnation of "Yue Lao"! What kind of game is so amazing?
The more Aunt Wang thought about it, the more worried she became. Nowadays, young people don't like to go on blind dates to find a partner, and the business volume has already shrunk significantly. Who would have thought that the business would be snatched away by a game?
"This online relationship is unreliable!"
If you can't beat him, then slander him. Thinking of what her grandson had said, Aunt Wang quickly advised Xiao Shen to be cautious, saying that "online dating has risks" and it would be more appropriate to find someone you know well.
"Other online relationships are really unreliable."
"But I think the online dating on Love Adviser is pretty reliable! After all, there are so many couples, and quite a few of them got married..."
Xiao Shen introduced the game "Love Advisor" to Aunt Wang, focusing on the game's matching mechanism. She also said that the people she met there were more to her liking than the ones introduced by Aunt Wang.
What big data? What matching mechanism?
Aunt Wang was confused. She didn't understand the Internet, but she understood one meaning, which was that the people introduced by this game, although from all over the world, were all very reliable.
"Is it really that reliable?"
“It’s definitely reliable!”
Xiao Shen's firm statement, coupled with the fact that she had indeed reached an agreement, gave Aunt Wang an idea.
She had a young man who had been unable to find a partner. She arranged no less than twenty blind dates for him, but each time failed.
The young man is too picky.
Aunt Wang introduced almost all the high-quality resources she had to him, but unfortunately he didn't like any of them.
She was just worrying about who to introduce to this young man. When she heard Xiao Shen say this, she suddenly had an idea...
Aunt Wang didn't know much about the Internet, but Xiao Shen wouldn't lie to her. Since Xiao Shen said that this game was reliable and could help him find someone he liked, why not let the young man give it a try? So, Aunt Wang asked him about the game, especially how to play it.
After returning home, Aunt Wang told the young man what she had found out, and asked him to go and have fun if he had time.
It doesn’t matter whether you can find it or not.
The key is to wait for a while, let her find a few reliable girls, and then introduce them to this discerning young man.
This is what Aunt Wang thought and did.
But just a few days later, the young man called and told Aunt Wang that there was no need to look for her anymore, as he had already met a girl from the same province on the show "Love Advisor".
Although the relationship has not been confirmed yet, the young man said that the other party is a very nice person and as long as they meet to confirm it, it will basically be a success.
“So soon?”
This was the second time Aunt Wang was shocked by the game "Love Advisor".
Is the Internet so outrageous?
The grandson always says that the Internet has changed the world, but Aunt Wang doesn't feel much about it. After all, the things that the Internet has changed are too far away from her.
But at this moment she realized that the Internet was indeed quite powerful and it overturned her understanding.
She spent a year and still couldn't find a suitable partner for the young man, but this game called the General Staff made progress in just a few days? She has been a matchmaker for decades, so she won't be unemployed in her later years, right?
