Chapter 220 World Record!
"New things, simple report!"
"Welcome to watch this week's hottest online news... a review, I'm the host Ajie!"
In the video, a young anchor wearing a white shirt and holding a cue card is talking in front of the camera: "Let's take a look at the first hot word of this week: growth-oriented games!"
"Electronic games, whether on mobile phones or computers, I believe everyone has played them to some extent."
"Have you ever played a game that grows automatically and generates new levels without the need for developers to update or maintain it?"
"That's right. Just a few days ago, Tianba Studio from Jiangning officially released its latest game, "Ancestral Tree"!"
"The game quickly became popular all over the Internet as soon as it was released. As a classic adventure game, it is deeply loved and sought after by the majority of players..."
"Do you think that a game like this will end in a matter of seconds? No, no!"
"Just yesterday, Tianba Studio announced that they will apply a technology that they have been researching for many years to "Ancestral Tree". This technology can enable the game to automatically generate new game levels without any external interference when all networks and signals are cut off..."
"A netizen from Zhonghai said: Wow! This is an incredible technology. I never thought that there would be a stand-alone game that can never be completed..."
It's too outrageous that you can never pass the level.
Although Chen Ba would be very happy to hear others praising him, even he would feel embarrassed if others praised him too much.
For example, the description of "you can never pass the level" makes it very difficult for him to stay tense.
After testing, "Ancestral Tree" does have a certain ability to automatically generate and deduce levels.
But this is very slow...
To generate a new level, you need a large number of ancestral trees as a reserve accumulation. If the number of ancestral trees is too small, you cannot generate a new level.
in other words!
In the game "Ancestor Tree", the more you die, the more levels will be generated. And this number of deaths must be the number of deaths managed by the human-computer.
Why? Because during the game, the human-machine hosting is actually equivalent to collecting data and information of each level, and storing it in the form of data in the ancestral tree that grows after death.
Then, after the game is completed, the underlying code of the ancestral tree will deduce new levels based on the collected information...
This is actually a whole process of self-production and self-sales!
The players had been giving up control of the studio's computers, allowing the game to be played by humans and machines, and it was down for a full 12 hours.
After 12 hours, the game had three new levels that had never appeared before, and they were more like hidden levels than hidden levels! "It took about four hours of human-machine hosting to collect enough data, store it in the ancestral tree, and generate new levels."
Xiao Lu explained: "As for this new level, players may be able to easily pass it in less than ten minutes."
"It's like this..."
Chen Ba nodded, indicating that Xiao Lu was right and that this was indeed the case.
But having said that.
Even though the generation speed is so slow, this game really is something you will never get tired of playing thanks to this feature.
After all, as long as you spend a certain amount of time, the levels of this game are endless...
There are 50 preset levels in the game Ancestor Tree! So far, some players have used this bug to push the game to 60 levels, 10 more! But it’s far from over.
This strange mechanism has become the goal of everyone's competition. Everyone wants to be the best in the world, and it has led to more game levels.
This is only level 60, it's too basic.
Imagine if this game had 600, 6,000, or even 60,000 levels. How cool would that be? Wow! The thought that everyone could create a unique client of Ancestor Tree, and that everyone had a different number of levels, immediately piqued players’ interest.
Not just domestic players.
After hearing that a game can automatically grow and derive new levels, foreigners were also full of curiosity and joined the "world record" competition.
Through their continuous trial and error, more and more hidden mechanisms about the ancestral tree were discovered and exposed.
first!
Each ancestral tree stores a large amount of game information and data. First of all, we must ensure that the number of ancestral trees is sufficient, and secondly, we must ensure that the human-computer hosting can pass the level.
The faster you clear customs, the better!
Because the faster the human-computer hosting speed is, the faster the game will generate new levels, with the fastest even reaching 2 hours per level.
But this is far from the limit! Someone discovered through cheat codes that they could batch generate a series of ancestral trees, which greatly accelerated the generation speed, even shortening it to less than half an hour.
More uses for cheat codes were developed by a foreign player. By using cheat codes, he successfully increased the speed of generating new levels of the game to less than 10 minutes.
So far, this bearded player has increased the number of game levels to 2147 in just half a month, far ahead of players around the world. He will continue to maintain his advantage and took the lead in initiating the Guinness World Record certification.
Certification passed! Bearded Man became the Guinness certified: "Ancestor Tree" level world record holder! What? Why would Guinness officially include such a boring world record? "It's not boring at all!"
In the face of the interview, Chen Ba shook his head and said: "On the contrary, from now on, every record refresh will leave a strong mark in the history of the game."
Although some of the records included in the Guinness Book of World Records are quite bizarre, not everything is included. At least, they have to have a certain value or significance in their opinion.
Obviously, the world record of the "Ancestral Tree" level is valuable and meaningful.
Even this record can be used to hype and update. After all, the number of highest levels in "Ancestor Tree" is still growing. Who knows what it will be like next year, the year after, or even five years from now?
From this point of view, setting a world record for the number of levels in "Ancestor Tree" is definitely a sure win.
Similarly, Chen Ba did not lose out either.
This wave of publicity, including the world record certified by Big Beard, directly raised the popularity of the game "Ancestor Tree" to a higher level.
How much advertising money can this save?
When Chen Ba thought about this kind of popularity, and that every time a record was broken or refreshed, there would be another round, he would smile when he went to sleep at night.
…
"The Ancestor Tree" suddenly became a hot topic, shocking countless players.
What the hell? I haven't even finished level 50 yet, how come there's a guy on the Internet who has created more than 2,000 levels and even certified a world record? No...
Are we really playing the same game? Why is there such a big difference? The Tianba community's "Ancestor Tree" discussion section was also flooded with this news.
There are also various screenshots posted by players below. Although they have not completed more than 2,000 levels, there are many who have completed hundreds or even a thousand levels.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This is also exaggerated!
Many players responded below, hoping that the master could share the client. They also want to play "Ancestor Tree" with hundreds or thousands of levels.
It's too troublesome to raise the ancestral tree by myself. I'm a student, please send it to me through the client! Although it's despicable to ask for money, there are always a few great players in the Tianba community who are willing to share.
With the help of these great players, community players have also made great strides to reach the level of 700-800, and they are so tired of playing.
nonsense!
What does 700 to 800 levels mean? Many people haven’t even made it past the first 50 levels. With so many levels added at once, it’s no exaggeration to say that the game will last until next year.
But having said that.
Although the current world record is more than 2,000 levels, this is only a record created by players. The real highest level version of "Ancestral Tree" is actually in Tianba Studio.
That’s right!
Players have created more than 2,000 levels using cheat codes. Chen Ba has more methods to use, so naturally he has created more levels than ordinary people can imagine.
Up to now, Tianba Studio has secretly developed a version of "Ancestor Tree", and the number of levels has exceeded 10,000.
Pretty scary numbers...
Maybe it doesn't sound like much, isn't it just 10,000 levels? Don't Gold Miner and Snake have a lot of levels too?
But this cannot be generalized.
For those mini-games, which can even be run on old keypad phones, it is not surprising that they have many levels.
But for a 3D adventure game of decent size like "Ancestor Tree", having 10,000 more levels would be terrifying, and it's no exaggeration to say that it's worth playing for a lifetime.
“Isn’t a lifetime enough?”
Xiao Lu joked, "By the time you finish playing these 10,000 levels, is it possible that the game has already developed 100 million levels?"
“It’s true!”
Chen Ba thought about it and said in despair, "If this continues, I'm afraid no one will be able to complete this game in the near future."
In fact, there are already signs of this happening.
Taking the levels created by players as an example, the highest level is now over 2,000, and human power can still make up for this gap.
But the longer time goes on, the bigger the gap will be. In the end, even humans at the maximum level probably won't be able to keep up with the speed of level updates, and no one will be able to complete the game at all.
"But it's not a big problem."
"Although humans cannot complete this game, don't forget that this game also has a human-computer hosting mode."
Chen Ba chuckled and said, "Just because humans can't pass the level doesn't mean that computers can't."
In fact, every time a level is released, the computer must complete it once before generating a new level.
As long as this mechanism is not changed and no major incidents or changes occur, whether the game has 10,000 levels or 100 million levels, the human-computer hosting will always be able to pass it.
The protagonist of the game, Shubao, is always on the road moving forward. However, the player, who is the manipulator behind the scenes, cannot keep up with Shubao's pace and is slowly left behind.
"What does this mean?"
"It shows that humans have their limits. Only by stopping being human can we become stronger! Flesh and blood are weak, but machines can soar!"
Xiao Lu is crazy.
He shouted, "I'm not a human being anymore," and then he went to study how to transplant the tree treasure into his own head, which made Chen Ba dumbfounded.
No way, would it be such a big blow to him that he couldn't complete the game?
