Chapter 15 Still herding cattle? Still herding cattle!

"...I don't understand."

"Why would someone be addicted to herding cattle? And the cattle they are herding are cybernetic cattle. Wouldn't he get bored after playing for more than a hundred hours straight?"

At Tianba Game Studio, Zhang Xiaojuan, who was doing routine maintenance on the game community, rolled her eyes as she looked at the post with the highest number of replies in the forum.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing her complaints, Chen Ba stood up and walked over to ask, "What happened?"

"Brother Chen, take a look for yourself."

Pointing at the computer screen, Zhang Xiaojuan said helplessly: "There is a player named "The Leader of the Cowherding Cult" who posted a post in the community about his experience of herding cows and even published a special tutorial on herding cows."

This thing also has a tutorial? Chen Ba was shocked and even doubted his identity as a game producer.

Zundu fakedu!

Even he, the game producer, doesn't know there are so many tricks to herding cattle. Is this person talking nonsense? [Salute to every cowherder]

The title of the post is pretty weird, but the content is even more explosive.

According to the player nicknamed "The Cowherd Sect Leader", he first learned about the game "Study Hard Simulator" through Qian Duoduo's video.

In the video, he has been herding cattle for three years, and suddenly he realizes the bug of the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, which makes it difficult for him to get rid of it.

So he bought the game, intending to personally experience the feeling of being a herdsman for three years, not reading any books at all, and still being admitted to the high school of his choice.

As a result, in the process, he was gradually healed by this game.

Although the game graphics are rough and abstract, when herding cattle, you can not only see the scenery, but also hear beautiful chord music and feel the harmony and beauty between man and nature.

One hour, two hours...

As the game time increased, he suddenly realized that the lonely figure of the protagonist walking leisurely on the hillside with the old yellow cow made his restless heart gradually calm down and enter a state of so-called "sage time".

What exams? What school? When he threw all these out of his mind and only thought about this world and that old ox, he finally found his spiritual home.

Then, he founded the so-called "Cowherding Cult" to tell everyone from his own experience that you don't need to worry about studying hard or the game mechanics.

Just think of this game as a tool to cultivate your character and heal your soul.

“Herding cattle is not just herding cattle, but a spiritual practice. What we herd are not cattle, but our own hearts!”

"Come on, join the Cowherd Cult!"

“From now on, I will break free from the constraints of the game mechanism, step into the door of spiritual practice, and redeem my exhausted soul…”

Knock the cyber wooden fish, release the cyber scalpers, and focus on the fact that there is something wrong with the brain.

There are indeed tutorials.

However, his tutorial has nothing to do with the game. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the "core doctrine of the Cowherd Cult."

When herding cattle, empty your mind, try to choose a comfortable sitting or lying position, turn up the volume of headphones or speakers, close your eyes to feel the old yellow cattle that does not exist in reality, and then try to lead it away...

It's really addictive! The most outrageous thing is that under his post, hundreds of players actually expressed their belief and actively signed up to join the cult.

Some people even proposed to organize offline gatherings, where everyone would lead a yellow cow, so that every member of the church would have a cow to herd and grass to cut for pigs...

Still herding cattle? Still herding cattle! Chen Ba became more and more speechless as he read on, and immediately used his administrator privileges to highlight and pin this "missionary post" to the top.

After Tianba Games was established, Chen Ba also set up an official player community. The website link was embedded in the [Study Simulator], which is equivalent to a forum.

Thanks to the popularity of the "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator", there are still many users registered in the community, and many people post in it every day to discuss the game content.

However, there have been no high-quality posts in the community so far, and most of them are meaningless spam.

It's rare to have a senior player share his experience. Regardless of how ridiculous his post is, at least from the content point of view, this post deserves to be pinned to the top.

certainly!

Chen Ba did not approve of the leader of the Cowherd Sect.

He carefully designed so many game contents, but this guy didn't play any of them. He just wasted hundreds of hours of game time.

Any normal person probably wouldn't be able to understand his weird ideas.

Did you get some insights from herding cattle? Let's just say, is there a possibility that this game is called "Hard Study Simulator" instead of "Herding Cattle Simulator"? "If this goes on, it will really become a herding cattle simulator." Chen Ba sighed.

When he was making this game, he never thought that all the plots, mechanisms, and numerical levels he had racked his brains to come up with would ultimately be no match for a cattle-herding incident...

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

Why is this happening? Chen Ba analyzed it and thought that on the one hand, it was because there was a bug in the cattle-herding event, and many players were attracted by it and were full of interest in it.

On the other hand, herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs, picking corn... these things that are commonplace for rural children are relatively new to many people, especially those who grew up in cities.

"There is another reason..."

Lu Jing, who had come behind Chen Ba at some point, said with a smile, "The game adds these events just to show how hard it is to study, but these events also bring back many people's childhood memories."

"That makes sense." Chen Ba nodded.

Due to the above reasons, players are obsessed with herding cattle and even turn the game into a "cattle herding simulator".

I can only say that it’s a bit unfair to study hard for a simulator.

The gameplay is so strong, the plot is so inspiring and touching, and everything else is excellent except the graphics. But after the game became popular, the first impression of players was actually a cattle-herding simulator...

Success is due to bugs, failure is also due to bugs!

Without that "Sheep-Heading Bug", the "Study Hard" simulator would not have suddenly become popular and reached such a high number of downloads.

However, because of the Bullfighting Bug, many players have neglected the playability and completeness of the game itself.

"Cowherding Simulator"! This nickname is even more popular and famous on the Internet than the real name "Hanchuang Kudu Simulator", and more people know it.

If you mention the "Study Hard Simulator", few players may remember it, but if you mention the "Cowherding Simulator", others will definitely reply: I know this, it's quite fun...

Chen Ba’s defense was almost broken.

Can you please stop herding cattle? Can you guys please follow the main storyline, read the game plot, and experience the authentic gameplay of the game?

Among players who have played the game for more than 50 hours, eight out of ten are just lazy people. They spend the entire second and third rounds just lazing around. I don’t know where they get the patience from.

Wouldn't you get bored repeating the same event over and over again, especially something as boring as herding cattle?
