Chapter 167: Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?
"…So far, a total of about 27 million marbles have been generated in the game!"
"In classic mode, marbles are just marbles, an ordinary game prop, without any special features."
"But in the "Marble Soul" mode, because the winner can devour the enemy player's marble soul to improve his own strength, the problem arises..."
When Chen Ba said this, he wrote down the two key words "devour" and "Soul of Marble" on the whiteboard.
This is the origin of everything.
The Soul of the Marble is attached to the marble, but only exists in special mode. It will be reset and cleared when leaving the special mode. It is a functional component with limitations.
The core of this functional component is actually unlimited growth! "When the level of the marble soul is upgraded, it can gain more powerful power and destructive power, and can also destroy enemy marbles! This is something that ordinary marbles can't do..."
How did they do this? Why is there such a difference between ordinary marbles and the marbles of level 10 Marble Soul? "The answer is authority!"
"Players defeat other players, upgrade their marble soul levels, and gain more powerful attributes and powers... This process is actually the process of increasing authority."
By this time, everyone had reacted.
After taking note of Brother Ba's description with a pen and paper, Zhong Shengwei took the lead in grasping the key point and said, "But shouldn't this permission be cleared and reset after a game is over?"
The analogy of permissions is easy to understand.
When the Soul of Marble reaches a certain level, you can get the same gaming experience as cheating in this game.
What kind of lock + perspective + destruction scene etc...
Why do you get the same gaming experience as cheating? Because your Marble Soul level is very high, and the game automatically assigns the corresponding permissions to the player according to the Marble Soul level! Therefore, the process of defeating other players, devouring their Marble Souls, and upgrading the level is actually the process of obtaining "cheating" permissions in disguise.
However, this plug-in was not created by a third-party plug-in author, but a hidden mechanism preset at the beginning of game development.
Cheating is not a problem.
After all, you have met such a strict prerequisite, that is, killing 29 players in one game. It’s okay to give it a good time, and it will not affect the gaming experience of other players.
There are only 30 people in a game. By the time a player obtains the permission to "legally cheat", the game is over.
In other words, what's wrong with giving you legal cheats?
The game is over, and there are no players left. Even if you are invincible, you can't do anything. Can the defeated players be resurrected and defeated a second time? The problem is that this kind of legal cheating is a game Easter egg or hidden mechanism, and it should be reset after a game is over.
But the current situation is that not only is it not reset, but it continues to the next game, and can even bring the soul of the marble into the classic mode...
"you're right!"
"This mechanism does exist in the game. After a normal game, no matter what level of Marble Soul you are, all will be reset to zero."
Chen Ba explained: "Actually, this is my fault. I only designed the effects of the Marble Soul from level 1 to 30, and didn't consider higher levels."
Soul of Marbles, level 1-30. This is the rule framework he and Xiao Lu came up with. Within this framework, the game proceeds in an orderly manner.
Even if a player reaches level 30 of Marble Soul in a certain game, he or she will obtain the legal right to cheat.
OK! He didn't get any upgrades after that, and this legal cheating privilege only lasted for 20 seconds. When the game settlement page popped up, everything was reset.
Level 31? Chen Ba had never thought of this possibility at first. After all, there were only 30 players in a game, so where did the 31-level marble soul come from? He would not set up a plan for something that did not exist. Even in the command, there was only player.setlevel (1-30).
Without a preset plan, there are naturally no corresponding instructions and results.
But there is a logic to refer to.
In the underlying code of the game, there is a section that opens higher in-game permissions with each upgrade of the Marble Soul.
After reaching the 30th level of Marble Soul, the player's in-game skills are comparable to those of a plug-in that can fly and hide in the ground.
What is above that? Because Chen Ba and Xiao Lu had never considered the possibility of a level 31 marble soul, they didn't think about it.
When a player kills more than 29 players in the game and upgrades the Marble Soul to level 31, the system automatically assigns some administrator privileges.
Administrator privileges are higher than the basic operating privileges of the game, which means that the game and the level of the Marble Soul that should have been reset are permanently retained.
That’s not all.
Also retained is the mechanism by which the Soul of the Marble continues to grow by devouring!
Every marble in the game is generated with a "marble soul", but it is usually in an "unactivated" state and can only be activated after entering a special mode.
"in other words……"
"In the case of [Brother Ba's Little Sweet Wife], his marble soul can continue to improve. All he needs to do is keep absorbing marble souls?"
"Yes!"
Chen Ba rubbed his temple.
The red patterned marble that caused the ripples is estimated to be over level 100 at this point.
And this is not the end, you can continue to improve, which really fits the words "no limit to growth".
After saying this, the whole studio fell silent, and everyone was thinking about how to respond or change their strategy.
Before everyone could come up with a solution, Yang Dong, who was in charge of monitoring the game data, discovered that it seemed that this problem had already been solved by the players? "Huh?!"
When these words were spoken, everyone, including Chen Ba, was stunned.
Solved? How? "[Brother Ba's Little Sweet Wife] relied on her cheats to do all kinds of evil in the game, which aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of a large number of players."
Yang Dong explained: "Because the authorities have never made a statement or clarified the whole story, everyone thinks he is a fake..."
This is normal.
Ordinary players don't know these inside stories. They only know that someone summoned the spirit of the marble in the classic mode. It's shameless! If this isn't cheating, what is it? Since it's evil, then everyone is excited and it's not too much to join forces to deal with him, right? You know, in this kind of competitive game, what everyone hates most is cheating that destroys the game experience, game environment and fairness.
If it is in an FPS, such as a battle royale game like "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", if a cheater appears in a game, the players will definitely unite and prioritize eliminating the cheater to achieve the "Zhu Xian" achievement.
This is also considered a malicious team formation! However, this malicious team formation targets cheating players who destroy the game environment and fairness, so it is generally not punished.
In the eyes of a group of "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm" players, [Brother Ba's Little Wife] is no different from a hacker.
Since he is a hacker and the official has not given any explanation or solution, the players can only do it themselves and punish him together.
Hot Fact! In the game "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm", you can see the IDs of all players.
So, after someone discovered [Brother Ba’s Little Wife], they quickly ran to the community to post and ask people to go online.
This "anti-thief manifesto" received strong support from a number of community players. As a result, everyone responded to the call and set up an ambush, luring [Brother Ba's Little Sweet Wife] into a "free battle" room.
The biggest feature of the so-called free battle room is that it has no rules, and it can accommodate a large number of players! The lack of rules is the biggest advantage.
If you play modes with specific rules, it is obvious that everyone has to abide by the rules of the game, and you cannot beat [Brother Ba’s Little Wife] who does not need to abide by the rules.
In the free battle room, no one needs to follow the rules! I'm giving you face, right?
…
[Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it! One winter, the emperor was assassinated and the imperial seal was missing! ]
[The leader of the rebel army, "Huang Niu Tianzun", found the imperial seal and received the Mandate of Heaven. He founded the Huang Niu Kingdom and proclaimed himself the Huang Niu Emperor. He changed the reign title to Huang Niu and issued an edict in the same year: All citizens are given 100 marbles...]
New dynasty, new atmosphere! The wife emperor was careless for a moment and was assassinated and lost his destiny. During this assassination, the scalper emperor who accidentally picked up the imperial seal gave everyone benefits right away.
The Tianba community was buzzing with discussions.
No one expected that the cheating dog [Brother Ba’s Little Wife] that everyone had been discussing for a long time actually didn’t cheat.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The reason why he has the ability comparable to cheating is actually because of that inconspicuous red patterned marble?
What is even more unexpected is that...
In the melee, after accidentally picking up the red patterned marble, the ordinary "Scalper Tianzun" unexpectedly inherited abilities comparable to those of a plug-in.
He even modified the game announcement, emphasizing his "orthodox" status and announcing that every player could receive 100 marbles via mail, in an attempt to win people's hearts.
Not only that!
The new authority dog "Huang Niu Tianzun" also issued an announcement stating that [Tianba Primary School] has been renamed [Huang Niu Primary School], and he will serve as the principal.
Any player who is loyal to him can be awarded positions such as vice-principal, dean of studies, grade director, etc., and will be given 10,000 marbles.
Oh shit!
Everyone only knew that he was cheating, but they didn't expect his cheating was so powerful. He is like a local emperor, right?
The Scalper Emperor is not the Wife Emperor.
What the Delicate Wife Emperor dared not do, the Scalper Emperor dared to do, and the authority that the Delicate Wife Emperor dared not use, the Scalper Emperor dared to use, and directly turned the game into a private server...
"Is there such a thing?"
After this incident, and [Brother Ba’s Little Sweet Wife] posted the truth in the community, and he posted screenshots of his chat with Brother Ba, everyone understood.
What is a cheat? It's all because of that red marble. Whether it's [Ba Ge's Little Sweet Wife] or [Scalper Tianzun], they all used that red marble to gain access to the game, which is comparable to cheating.
At this moment, everyone was excited.
As the saying goes, are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species? This throne can be sat by [Brother Ba’s Little Sweet Wife] and [Yellow Ox Heavenly Lord], so why can’t I sit on it?
The Anti-Evil Manifesto 2.0 has been updated! This time, everyone has a clear goal. It doesn't matter whether the Yellow Scalper Emperor dies or not, but the red marble with a pattern must be obtained.
That is the imperial seal!
Whoever gets the red marble will be able to dominate the game "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm" and create their own private server...
The temptation is too strong!
Everyone wants to punish cheaters, but if it is an official default cheat and the only one in the entire game, then it is not a cheat but the emperor.
Who wouldn’t want to experience what it’s like to play an online game with hundreds of thousands of players as a private server?
The players became more and more excited the more they thought about it.
In just a few hours, more than 10,000 players signed up to participate under the community's "Clear the Court" anti-evil manifesto.
Huangniu Tianzun also saw it.
But he was not panicked at all. After all, if someone rebelled, there would be people to join him.
Relying on various positions in the game and generous marble rewards, he has won over a group of confidants and possesses supreme authority in [Huangniu Primary School].
He is not the wife emperor! [Brother Ba's Little Sweet Wife] was attacked, that was what he deserved. He knew that this marble was so important, but he was attacked by someone else and then picked up in the chaos.
He is different. He has so many people protecting him. What can these rebellious people do to him?
"Master, did you see it?"
"Our Yellow Ox Sect has risen and even conquered a great empire! In my opinion, the position of the Sect Leader should be passed to me!"
Huangniu Tianzun was very proud and even wanted to post in the community, calling on Huangniu Jiaozhu to step down and give the position of Jiaozhu to him.
He is the pride of the cattle industry! Who would have thought that a once insignificant cowherd boy would now wear a yellow robe and become the emperor in "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm"? This is truly legendary!
Thinking of this, Huangniu Tianzun became very excited and sent a private message to the vice-president he appointed, asking him to bring someone to play a game of marbles with him.
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"
The vice principal dared not disobey the orders of his boss. After all, his current status and income were all given by Huang Niu Tianzun.
Huangniu Tianzun also trusts him very much.
Unexpectedly, when he joined the game organized by the vice-principal and found that the map was densely packed with people, he realized that something was wrong.
"You betrayed me?"
Huang Niu Tianzun couldn't believe it. He had offered his subordinate a daily salary of 10,000 marbles, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually betray him.
Ten thousand marbles! An ordinary player only gets 100 marbles per day. He offered such a good salary and even gave him the position of vice-principal. Why would he betray him? "Who cares about your marbles?"
"It's just a game. You don't really think that others like to serve you, do you? Brothers, come on together and get rid of the Yellow Scalper Emperor..."
Not long after, the community's righteous historian posted again to record this important moment of change of dynasty.
In the summer of the second year of the Huangniu era, the emperor was assassinated! The Huangniu dynasty, which had been established for only two days, completed the transfer of power in this assassination incident, which was known in history as the "Huangniu Civil War"! Huangniu Tianzun's trusted general, Huangniu's relative, took power through a coup and called himself Huangniu Taizong. He respected Huangniu Tianzun as the Taizu Emperor and changed the reign title to the first year of the relative...
