Chapter 136 Unexpected Gains

Guo Mo was very distressed.

It’s not about money, he is not short of money. Although live streaming is not particularly popular, it is still no problem for him to make money to support his family.

The source of his distress was...

He has been playing the new game from Tianba Studio, the game called Love Staff, for so long, but he still hasn't met the right person.

Isn't this right?

Didn't they say that playing this game would help him find a partner? How come he had played it for so long and hadn't gained anything?

At first, he thought it was just bad luck, but after an in-depth discussion with his friends in the live broadcast room, he realized that it had nothing to do with luck, but simply because the game matching pool was too shallow.

Due to the gender imbalance among game players and the prominent problem of more men than women, players who find a partner in the game are always a minority.

It's really a minority! With hundreds of thousands of players, it's impossible for everyone to find their ideal partner and have a sweet love affair, right?

This is impossible and unrealistic! Even if Love Adviser is really that magical, no matter how powerful the matching mechanism is, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to find online dating partners at the same time.

Most players play this game with the idea of ​​engaging in online romance...

The same is true for Guo Mo.

But after playing the game, I found that I was not the lucky one at all, and there were no players of the opposite sex with whom I was highly compatible in the matching pool.

"Xiao Mo, how about we just forget it?"

"What I'm saying is, if you really can't meet the right person, it's not bad to follow the essence of the game and find a paper person to fall in love with!"

"Yeah! You've been playing for months, isn't it time to give up?"

"Star Emperor, start!"

Regular viewers in the live broadcast room felt that after working on the game for so long and yet gaining nothing, Guo Mo should have given up long ago.

Although Love Adviser has sold millions of copies across all platforms, there are only a few hundred thousand active players. Excluding the 77% of male players, how many players of the opposite sex can meet the matching conditions? If you can't find one, then forget it! Although this game is amazing, it is not the only solution to get rid of being single. If you want to find a partner, there are other ways. Why do you have to stick to this game? "That makes sense..."

After spending several months in the game and still not meeting the right person, Guo Mo was indeed a little disappointed, and he also agreed with the analysis of the audience in the live broadcast room.

It’s time to let it go!

In fact, this is a question of fate. His fate has not arrived, but Zhang Pengfei's has, so their situations are so different.

"I'll listen to you guys. Starting tomorrow, I'll uninstall this game and focus on live streaming Star Emperor. I won't think about those illusory things."

Guo Mo sighed.

Zhang Pengfei's post gave him too many unrealistic fantasies and rekindled the yearning for love for many people, including him.

But the fact proves that the game is just a game after all, and he doesn't deserve love.

It’s also good to stop loss in time.

At least he can figure this out, unlike some people who are obsessed with playing this game and spend at least 18 hours a day in "Love Advisers" just to meet that person who "is not sure whether he exists".

To be reasonable...

This is really Zhang Pengfei’s fault!

The posts he posted were so inspiring and made so many people yearn for and envy him.

But the reality is cruel. The number of players in "Love Staff" is limited, and the matching pool cannot support so many players to find their perfect moonlight or prince charming.

"Let's have some fun one last time!"

Guo Mo, who decided to withdraw, also let go of his obsession and no longer had any illusions about love. He just simply enjoyed the game.

You’re right!

After letting go of his obsession, Guo Mo suddenly discovered that there are actually many aspects of this game that are worth exploring.

Pseudo-open world! Although it has the word "pseudo" in it, it is not a real open world, but this is enough to show that the game has a very high degree of freedom.

"Let's be honest."

"Although I haven't found a partner, I feel like I get along well with all the game friends I met through previous matches..."

Guo Mo looked through his friend list and realized that he had not really gained nothing in the past few months.

He didn't have many friends of the opposite sex, but he added many good buddies with similar interests. Although these good buddies were only friends in the game, they really suited his taste and he felt that he had met them too late.

If this happened in real life, we would have to become sworn brothers!

To be honest, Guo Mo was reluctant to lose these good friends suddenly.

It just so happened that most of them were online, so Guo Mo invited them one by one, asking them to come to his world and have a good chat, and leave their phone numbers or contact information.

In this way, even if you stop playing this game in the future, you can still keep in touch and avoid losing these "compatible" online friends.

"My real name is Guo Mo, a contracted game anchor of Pili Pili. You can just call me Xiao Mo. Add me as a WeChat friend later and I'll post it on the public screen..."

Before Guo Mo finished speaking, a voice exclaimed in the voice channel: "Guo Mo? Is your father's name Guo Zhenghui?"

"Ah? How did you know?"

Guo Mo was a little surprised that a friend in the game could actually accurately say his father's name.

Could it be someone I know?

"What a coincidence! I'm Guo Qingwen. I often went to your house to play when I was a kid. Do you remember?"

"Qingwen?"

Guo Mo didn't remember who this was at first, but he quickly realized that this was his cousin from his hometown!

In his hometown village, Guo is a common surname. Although everyone's generation names do not match, they are actually very close relatives.

Guo Qingwen was the only son of my uncle, with whom I often played when we were young.

Although many years have passed, Guo Mo has forgotten the appearance of this childhood playmate. But the two of them are good friends who have played together since they were wearing open-crotch pants.

"You are Guo Mo? Then do you know Yuhua Primary School? I am Feng Renyong!"

"Feng Renyong from Yuhua Primary School?!"

Guo Mo was already shocked to meet his childhood playmates in the game. What he never expected was that one of his friends was actually his elementary school classmate.

Soon after, the remaining few people also revealed their identities.

One is the cousin of Feng Renyong's wife, and the other is Guo Qingwen's college classmate...

After a long time, they were all acquaintances! However, these acquaintances were all connected by Guo Mo, a key figure. If they didn't reveal their identities, no one would have guessed each other's identities.

“Fuck!”

The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.

What kind of magical matching mechanism is this? None of Guo Mo's game friends were added actively, all of them were players automatically matched by the game system.

Everyone thought he was a stranger.

As it turned out, once they mentioned their names and identities, we realized that they were all acquaintances or people with whom we had connections.

“Hey, that’s not right!”

Guo Mo called five friends over to chat, four of whom were acquaintances in some way or another. They might not have met each other, but they were still related.

But why did this fifth game friend not say a word from beginning to end?

"Dude, you're not also an acquaintance of mine or them, are you?"

"no!"

The friend said awkwardly: "I don't know any of you. The only thing we have in common is that my last name is Guo. Is this a coincidence?"

"That's such a coincidence!"

After learning that this fifth friend was not an acquaintance of Guo Mo or anyone else's, Guo Mo and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

fine!

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This is most likely just a coincidence. The matching mechanism is not that smart.

However, as everyone continued to chat, they unexpectedly learned something.

This good friend, who also has the surname Guo, was actually adopted from an orphanage by his parents, and his adoptive father’s surname is not Guo.

"That's such a coincidence!"

Guo Qingwen said: "Guo Mo should also remember that there was a child missing from Guo Dapao's family in our village. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find him. I think his age should be about the same as yours..."

"It seems to be the case."

Guo Mo thought about it and remembered that this was indeed the case. In terms of age, it did match, but it couldn't be such a coincidence, right? "Really? Where is the Guo Dapao you mentioned now? Can you give me a phone number so I can ask him later?"

"no problem."

Guo Mo and Guo Qingwen didn't think much about it. They just thought that it was most likely not the same person. After all, they were thousands of kilometers apart. How could it be such a coincidence? But it didn't hurt to give it a try.

After the self-exposure of the previous few people, the magic of the matching mechanism has been fully verified. What if they are really the same person? Two days later, Guo Mo told the audience through a live broadcast that there has been the latest progress in this matter. They will meet offline for paternity verification. It seems that these two are really the same person.

When the test report came out and confirmed that it was the same person, Guo Mo's live broadcast room was in an uproar.

This incident also spread all over the Internet.

Countless people are amazed at the magical matching mechanism of "Love Advisor". How can they be matched together? Very quickly!

Other players also took turns to testify that the matching mechanism of this game, not to mention the opposite sex, the proportion of acquaintances among same-sex players is indeed very high.

A player from Hangang Province posted in the community that through the game "Love Staff", he actually collected the contact information of half of the students in his elementary school class.

How did he gather them all? He had several classmates and friends from elementary school, and these friends also had several other classmates and friends from elementary school...

This is such a surprise!

You have to know that after more than ten or twenty years, those former playmates and good friends have already scattered all over the country, and many of their contact information has been lost.

In the end, everyone was able to reunite through a game, which was simply a miracle! "Are there many examples like this?"

The cross-provincial family recognition and elementary school classmates reunion that took place in Guo Mo’s live broadcast room gave Chen Ba a new understanding of the matching mechanism of "Love Staff".

But he also had a doubt.

Is this not the only case? It shouldn't be like this! The player base is so small, there shouldn't be so many familiar people!

"Not many, very rare!"

Yang Dong shook his head and explained, "But another phenomenon is quite common, that is, people from the same unit, company, group and school are easily matched together."

"???"

Chen Ba's face was full of question marks.

What kind of weird mechanism is this? Can the system identify the units, companies, groups and schools to which the players belong? How come all the strangers have become acquaintances?

"Not all my acquaintances..."

Yang Dong thought for a moment and said, "It's still the same logic. We will match people based on compatibility and interests. But is there a possibility that someone with similar interests to you is actually right next to you?"

You like skateboarding, so you probably know people who skateboard around you, and you get along with them pretty well. Does that count as acquaintances?

"What if I like traveling by car, but I don't have any friends with the same hobbies or interests?" Xiao Lu interrupted.

“Then it will match strangers.”

Chen Ba frowned and explained, "But this situation is relatively rare. After all, your conditions are too harsh. How is it possible that you don't have any friends around you who you can talk to?"

"Let's put it another way. I have a friend or acquaintance like this, but he doesn't play Love Advisor, so I will still match him with a stranger?"

"right!"

Chen Ba nodded, and then said, "I understand what you mean! What you actually want to say is that using "Love Advisor" to find a partner is actually a waste of talent. The real purpose is to find like-minded people?"

Finding a partner is secondary.

The biggest function of the matching mechanism of "Love Adviser" is actually to allow players to expand their social circles and meet more like-minded friends.

And these like-minded friends may be around you, but you just don’t notice them or never think about them at all.

These incidents exposed on the Internet prove just one point.

The matching mechanism knows you better than you know yourself. Many people have like-minded friends who you can talk to, but they are right next to them. They fail to discover them and need the matching mechanism to help them.

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Lu was confused. What does it mean that the matching mechanism knows you better than you know yourself? "Rather than saying that the system matches you with acquaintances, it's better to say that you match me with good friends who you don't usually contact, but who actually have great potential for development."

Chen Ba explained: "If you don't match up, will you notice these acquaintances around you who you know but don't have much in common with?"

"Won't……"

"That's it! There's nothing wrong with the matching mechanism. It doesn't prioritize acquaintances."

Chen Ba figured it out.

This is not a deliberate assignment of acquaintances, this is clearly an excellent matching mechanism telling you: You have searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when you turn around, he is standing in the dim light!

Guo Mo and Guo Qingwen are acquaintances.

But they haven't been in touch for many years? Who would have thought that they would get along so well? Who would have thought that he would be the most compatible friend?

If it weren't for the game "Love Advisor", these two people would probably never have met again.

There is no doubt that this is the case.

Without being matched together and revealing their identities, they probably wouldn't have been able to speak to each other for decades to come, and they wouldn't have realized that they had missed out on such a perfect buddy.

From this perspective, most players, like Guo Mo, although they didn't find a partner, they didn't get nothing, right? (End of this chapter)
