Chapter 232 If you can’t solve the bug, then solve the person who discovered the bug!
The result of questioning the parties involved was naturally confusing, after all, the parties themselves did not know what they had done.
"Are you kidding me?"
When Chen Ba learned from Guo Mo that this guy did nothing at the time and the game was just running in a window in the background, he also moved to Bengbu.
You really didn't do anything else?
But if he didn't do anything, then these 10 points of merit, could it be that they just fell from the sky? "What a hell..."
Xiao Lu was also in a dilemma. He thought of so many ways and tested it over and over again countless times, but still couldn't find the root cause of the problem.
The most incredible thing to him was that even the person involved couldn't figure out how this game bug was triggered.
He wasn't even lying.
Because according to the game operation log records, this sad character did not perform any operations at the time of the incident and was simply AFK!
"I don't understand. Since he didn't do anything and the game was just hanging in the background, why would the Heavenly Dao give him 10 points of merit as a reward?"
The more Chen Ba thought about it, the more confused he became.
If he doesn't figure out this problem, he might not be able to sleep well at night.
After all, after eliminating all possibilities, the remaining possibility, no matter how bizarre it is, is the most correct answer.
Is the code really refined?
Xiao Lu felt that Brother Ba was a little neurotic. From the beginning, he firmly believed that the game had a bug, but now he has become suspicious and suspects that the code has become a spirit.
This state is not acceptable!
If I continue to think about this, I'm afraid that even the "Three Magical Gods" in Brother Ba's office won't be able to suppress the evil spirits, and Brother Ba might be sent to a mental hospital one day.
"Brother Ba, don't think too much."
Xiao Lu consoled him, "Maybe it's just a random bug. If it doesn't work, why don't we just leave it idle overnight and give it a try?"
"That's fine..."
"Tell everyone else that from now on, this computer will be running "Cultivation Fantasy" and no one is allowed to touch it!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ba said, "Don't cut off the power or the Internet. Leave the game hanging like this. We won't sleep tonight. We'll just stay in front of the computer to see if there are any changes."
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Xiao Lu also gave it his all. It was just a night of staying up. What was the big deal? Brother Ba watched the first half of the night, and he watched the second half. The two of them took turns to take a nap, order some takeout fried chicken, and drink some refreshing drinks. This night was not that difficult to endure.
There is a problem with this though.
If the same problem occurs during this period, you can naturally breathe a sigh of relief and don't have to continue staying up late.
But if you don’t sleep all night and the game running in the background on your computer doesn’t have any problems, do you have to continue staying up late until the same problem occurs?
"How about this, if there are no problems during our test tonight, then we'll keep it online and keep the game running in the background throughout the second test."
Chen Ba believes that the problem may not be caused by being idle for a long time, but this possibility cannot be ruled out.
It is precisely because of this possibility that they want to test it. After all, without practice, there is no right to speak. What if the bug is really caused by hanging up for a long time? ...
Chen Ba and Xiao Lu stayed up all night.
At eight o'clock the next morning, when Yang Dong and Huang Qing came with porridge and dumplings to bring breakfast to the two, they found that the two had already eaten.
"No, you two ordered takeout, why do you want us to deliver it?"
Yang Dong was speechless. He bought these two breakfasts with his own money. If he had known that Brother Ba and Xiao Lu would not starve to death, he would not have spent the money in vain.
"I'm sorry, brother Dong..."
Xiao Lu said bitterly: "When I called you, I forgot that I have a girlfriend, and I even forgot that she can make a loving breakfast."
Forgot? I think you did it on purpose! This seemingly self-blaming but actually boastful speech not only disgusted Yang Dong, but also disgusted Chen Ba who was enjoying his meal.
Only Huang Qing, a married middle-aged greasy man, can rely on his happy family to resist the real harm from Xiao Lu.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to eat, then Mr. Huang and I will eat it!"
Yang Dong got angry, picked up the steamed dumpling and stuffed one into his mouth, and asked while eating, "So, what did you two find after squatting all night?"
"No!"
After taking a sip of water, Chen Ba explained: "I was idle all night, and nothing happened. I don't think it has much to do with the idle."
"I think so too..."
Xiao Lu nodded and agreed, "The game program is running fine. It's impossible for such a low-level bug to appear due to AFK."
"What should we do then?"
"That's it for now. Keep an eye on this computer and don't touch it. Leave it alone during the second test."
Chen Ba was so sleepy that he waved his hand and said, "No need to send someone to keep an eye on it. Just come over and take a look every once in a while. I'm going back to sleep."
No matter what, let it be! Whether the code is a spirit or a false alarm, Chen Ba doesn't have the energy to continue to toss.
Anyway, the second test will last for a week. If the bug still cannot be reproduced during this week, then just treat it as nothing and define it as an "accidental event."
You can't be suspicious and scare yourself all the time, right?
We can't change the original plan and postpone the public beta of the game just because of a problem that we don't know whether it exists or not, right?
Don't even think about such a thing.
The established plan must be strictly implemented. It is impossible to scare yourself because of these 10 merit points that appeared out of nowhere and prevent the game from being launched as scheduled.
Chen Ba went home to sleep.
After that, Yang Dong took on the important task of monitoring the real-time situation on the second day of the second test of "Xiu Zhen Fantasy".
He is very worried.
I was worried that the same situation Guo Mo encountered would happen again on the second day of the second test, so I was very nervous during this period and kept an eye on the game situation.
Guo Mo was as worried as he was.
He still hasn't figured out what happened yesterday. He told Brother Ba about it, but Brother Ba couldn't explain why.
This is amazing!
Brother Ba told him that he hoped he wouldn't have any weird thoughts when he was playing games live today, and just play normally like he usually does.
It’s best to restore the scene of yesterday.
Play as long as you played yesterday! Play with whoever you played with yesterday! Do the same thing today as you did in the game yesterday...
Anyway, Brother Ba’s core message can be summed up in one sentence: It will be the same today as it was yesterday, so don’t change your schedule!
Following Brother Ba's instructions, Guo Mo was very obedient today. He got up on time, started the broadcast on time, entered the voice channel on time, and called Pan Yang to level up and kill monsters together on time.
"What's wrong with you today?"
Pan Yang was puzzled as to why Guo Mo was so strange today, like a robot, and was so rigid and stiff when playing a game.
Listen to what he said.
What does it mean to accompany him to level up and kill monsters for 1 hour and 24 minutes, then go separate ways for 19 minutes, and then continue to team up to level up for 38 minutes?
Hey, hey, hey! Is it necessary to control the time so strictly when playing a game? Will the monster die if I spawn one more minute?
“You’ll die!”
Guo Mo said seriously: "If you change the plan randomly, you may be fine, but I may be killed by Brother Ba offline."
Pan Yang: “…”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Is it so scary? Forget it, since this is Brother Ba's instruction, let's do it as he says. After all, they are both game anchors, and the game they broadcast is also Tianba Game.
To put it bluntly, the audience can only be considered half of their bread and butter. After all, they signed the popularity/viewing time contract common to game anchors, not a gift flow contract.
Brother Ba is the real breadwinner!
If Brother Ba gets angry and forbids them to broadcast Tianba’s games, and prohibits the live broadcast platforms from broadcasting related Tianba games, they will really lose their jobs.
Don’t think that game anchors will not be “banned”. They can broadcast whatever games they like.
Little-known fact! Live streaming platforms also need to obtain authorization from game developers before they can conduct live streaming business related to the game on the platform.
Taking several popular games of Penguin as an example, when the short video platform first became popular, why couldn’t the platform live broadcast related games?
It's because they don't have the authorization! If Penguin goes too far, they can't even post videos of related games, or even mention the game.
certainly!
Generally speaking, even in commercial competition, people would not go to such extremes. After all, if they really go to such extremes, they will get into trouble even if they have the copyright.
Tianba Games’ live broadcast authorization is available on almost all platforms, and Chen Ba has not imposed any restrictions in this regard.
But leaving it alone doesn't mean he can't manage it.
After all, there are many game anchors who make a living from Tianba. If he gets serious, he can indeed make some of them lose their jobs and they will not be able to broadcast related games in the future.
Don’t think that this “ban” has no impact. At worst, you can just change the game live broadcast.
Game anchors like Guo Mo, who have a diverse fan base, can indeed switch to game live streaming. Anyway, the sources of his fans are very diverse and not just from a single game.
But Pan Yang can't...
Most of his fans are players of "Star Emperor". If he changes his broadcast channel to other games, his popularity will drop by at least 90%, if not completely.
Therefore, whenever Tianba Studio has any business orders or event invitations, Pan Yang is almost always available.
It doesn’t matter how much money he makes. The important thing is to leave a good impression on Brother Ba and get an account with Tianba Studio. This will be of great benefit to his career development.
Guo Mo didn't care.
At worst, he can just go back to broadcasting APEX. Anyway, he was an APEX anchor in the past, so returning to his old profession can be seen as not forgetting his original intention.
However, Brother Ba's advice is still very intimidating, mainly because Brother Ba is a man without martial ethics, and he might come to kill him offline one day.
Speaking of this, Guo Mo was speechless.
Through the game "Don't Leave After School", Brother Ba really opened everyone's eyes. When everyone was denouncing the tyrant in the game and fighting for the throne, he went online to kill the tyrant alone.
Zhuo, someone is playing dirty! The player who was killed by Brother Ba offline and kicked off the throne is still posting in the Tianba community, tearfully denouncing Brother Ba's shamelessness and meanness.
If you think I am not worthy of the position, why don't you take my throne away in the game? How come some people can't afford to play and try to play the game of "Heaven punishes the tyrant"?
The shameless and mean behavior of Brother Ba really set a new low for game producers. From that day on, a famous saying began to circulate in the Tianba community.
GameBugs: "I can't fix game bugs, but I can fix the players who found them!"
Who wouldn't be afraid of such an outrageous Brother Ba? Guo Mo was quite afraid anyway. He didn't want to be treated as a game bug and solved by Brother Ba just because he "refused to cooperate".
Actively cooperate, you must cooperate! Whatever Brother Ba says is what it is. Isn't it just listening to him? Play the game the same way you played yesterday. This is too simple.
Although many details are not clear, there is a great invention in this world - live broadcast replay! Based on yesterday's live broadcast replay, Guo Mo can easily restore yesterday's game behavior and status.
Level up, kill monsters, run around, do quests, collect materials...
Every move, even the time, was controlled strictly. The content of the live broadcast was a complete replica of yesterday's, and no one could find fault with it.
However, although he reproduced yesterday's gaming behavior, the imagined scene did not appear, and his merit was still 10 points, which did not increase or decrease.
"It's time to end the broadcast!"
After broadcasting live until the same time as yesterday, Guo Mo turned off the live broadcast on time, went into the kitchen, and fried a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that was exactly the same as yesterday.
Oops, I put too many eggs today! After frying, Guo Mo realized that he had fried an extra egg today. He immediately felt a little regretful. How could he forget Brother Ba's advice and do things so carelessly? "No!"
Guo Mo, who was regretting this, suddenly realized that he had put an extra egg in the cooking. What does this have to do with "Cultivation Fantasy"? He was really PUA by Brother Ba! Guo Mo, who suddenly realized the truth, finally returned to normal and was not as nervous as before.
Eat and then take a walk by the river.
Guo Mo doesn't go out much normally, but because of his work, he has to stay at home for a long time and occasionally needs to go out to breathe some fresh air.
Anyway, I will go home and start the live broadcast on time, so as not to delay Brother Ba’s work.
What?
Brother Ba can control everything, including the things in the game, so how can he control whether he takes a walk after dinner? Guo Mo thinks there is nothing wrong with this. Anyway, at this time yesterday, he didn't play games, so there is actually no essential difference between watching videos at home and going out for a walk.
The computer was turned on the whole time, the internet was on, and the game was running in the background. It was the same today as it was yesterday.
Guo Mo was actually very curious. When he returned home after a walk, would he find that his merit points had increased from 10 to 20? He should, right? After all, he did the same thing yesterday and picked up 10 merit points for no apparent reason. If he did the same thing today, he should also gain merit points.
But if merit is gained, how did it come about?
The more Guo Mo thought about it, the more excited he became. He suppressed his curiosity and waited until the same time. Then he went home and entered the game. He couldn't wait to open the character information panel.
Unfortunately...
The amount of merit displayed on the character panel remains the original 10 points, neither increasing nor decreasing.
