Chapter 249: Hurting people a lot? Benefiting a lot!

It's the Spring Festival again.

Unlike previous Spring Festivals, this year is the first year that Lao Chen has spent after settling down in Jiangning at the persuasion of his son.

Because of this, Lao Chen is very depressed.

Maybe it's like this for all old people, it's hard to leave their hometown. In fact, Chen Ba can understand Lao Chen's feelings. After all, sometimes when he thinks about it, he also misses the place where he grew up.

But there is no way...

Just like what Dagu said to Obike, the old village will never come back! Obike's experience is also the common experience of Chen Ba's generation. The village that once carried the beautiful memories of childhood is destined to never return.

It was beautiful in the past, but that was also the past. How much do the plants and trees we see now look like they did in the past? Old Chen can take it or leave it. EMO soon let it go. After all, he has to cook the New Year's Eve dinner himself this year!

nanny?

Chen Ba did hire a nanny for his father, but his father also had to celebrate the New Year, so Chen Ba gave the cook a holiday and had to do it himself during this period.

Fortunately, Lao Chen’s cooking skills are not bad. After all, he has been practicing as a single parent for so many years, and his skills are not much worse than Auntie’s.

"Dad, what's your New Year's resolution?"

"Nether Dragon..."

"Ahem! Forget about the Supreme Nether Dragon. This thing has already been buried in the ground. If I strengthen it, I will be scolded to death by the players!"

As soon as Old Chen opened his mouth, Chen Ba was startled.

It's been so long, why is Lao Chen still thinking about the Supreme Nether Dragon? Is this crappy character that fun? Hasn't he been in the sewer for half a year? "I play in the sewer too!"

Old Chen curled his lips and said, "If I don't play Supreme Nether Dragon, what should I play? It's all your fault. You made up the "Ancestral Tree" and made me still not be able to finish it..."

Wow! Old Chen is still playing the Ancestor Tree? Chen Ba was a little surprised, so he asked curiously: "Which version are you playing?"

"I don't know, but the integrated package made by Brother Bin in the Tianba community has tens of thousands of levels!"

"That's the SATA version."

Chen Ba nodded in understanding.

Since the release of the game "Ancestor Tree", many versions have been derived. In theory, every player can create a version, but most people are too lazy to do it and prefer to play the ready-made ones.

Therefore, there are only a few mainstream versions, which are also the more popular versions, and there are only about a dozen of them in the world.

Among them, the Sata version is the most downloaded and used version by domestic players. It was created by Chinese player SataTNT and is currently one of the top 20 world record holders.

Why is it only in the top 20? Don’t underestimate this ranking, in fact, the top 20 is already very valuable. And the SATA version of "Ancestor Tree" is also the most used and downloaded version in the world, no doubt about it!

The top versions of the global records, especially the top ten, are special versions optimized for breaking records.

Although there are a large number of levels, often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, it is not suitable for ordinary players to play.

Although the number of levels created by the player SataTNT is much less than the previous ones, it is more playable and not so boring, so it is more popular.

Even Chen Ba wanted to recruit him.

The integrated version of "Ancestor Tree" released by Diaomao has almost reached 70% of the sales of the game "Ancestor Tree" in terms of downloads.

In other words, nearly seven out of every ten "Ancestor Tree" players in the world are playing the SATA version, which is a terrifying market share.

If we don't recruit such talents into Tianba Studio, it would be bad if they were used by bad people.

Speaking of which…

As the most popular version, the SATA version of "Ancestor Tree" has reached a terrifying 98,000 levels and is about to break through 100,000 levels.

This is only the top 20 in the world!

The current Guinness World Record holder for the number of levels in the Ancestor Tree is from Western Europe. This guy came out of nowhere and optimized the level generation method and logic, creating 2.74 million levels.

Yes, 2.74 million levels!

Such an astonishing number of levels not only shocked a large number of players, but also created a gap of nearly 1.7 million levels with the second place, which is indeed far ahead.

Chen Ba was also shocked by him.

In fact, many players have discovered that as the number of levels in "Ancestral Tree" increases, the level generation speed becomes slower and slower. Even after 1 million levels, ordinary home computers can no longer open the game.

Don't get me wrong, the game files are still large and don't take up too much hard drive storage space.

The reason why the game cannot be opened on home computers is that after the game reaches 1 million levels, consumer-grade CPUs can no longer cope with it.

Therefore, the top ten players in the world record have now upgraded to mysterious configurations, especially the first place Western European guy, who uses an unknown device to run the program.

2.74 million levels...

When you think of this terrifying number, and the fact that it continues to grow, the entire gaming industry is speechless because of "Ancestor Tree".

With so many levels, is it really possible for anyone to experience them all? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Even if it is possible, no one would be willing to try it. After all, with so many levels, the dissuading effect is too strong.

Players prefer to play versions that have only a few thousand or tens of thousands of levels but are more interesting and fun to play. As for the versions on the global record list?

Please, do you want me to die?

Just playing these thousands or tens of thousands of levels is enough to make me tired. I feel like vomiting after playing for a while. And you want me to play a version with hundreds of thousands or millions of levels?

A new generation of anti-internet addiction tool!

Lao Chen’s gaming addiction was almost half cured by “Ancestor Tree”. If he had not realized his mistake in time and uninstalled the game, he would probably feel nauseous and want to vomit whenever he saw the computer.

In fact, Chen Ba is the same...

He almost got rid of his internet and gaming addiction by playing the game "Ancestor Tree".

During that period, he would feel nauseous whenever he saw a computer. He would dream about the ancestral tree and the protagonist Shubao at night, and would be instantly awakened by the fright.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the magical anti-internet addiction feature of "Ancestor Tree" that this game has become the most popular game recommended by parents to their children.

"Play! Must play!"

"Dad bought you a computer, bought you games, bought you the snacks and drinks you wanted, and you sat in front of the computer and played games for me. One night is not enough, you have to play through it for me..."

No surprise.

The parents' intentions were malicious, but they were very effective. All the children who were forced by their parents to play the game "Ancestor Tree" eventually started reading their textbooks with a sense of relief.

I couldn't stand it! My parents stood behind me with feather dusters, forcing me to finish the game. I was quite excited at first, because there weren't many opportunities to play games so freely and openly.

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

But while playing, I felt like vomiting.

This crappy game is really frustrating, why are there so many levels?

Passed the level? Maybe you can pass it in your next life! Compared with "The Tree of Ancestors", the abstract mathematical symbols and various theorems and formulas in the textbook seem to have become more "delicate and beautiful".

No one knows how this weird educational method became popular, and no one knows who started it, but it became popular for some unknown reason.

Among the new sales of "Ancestral Tree", at least half were purchased by parents with children at home.

Don’t ask, the answer is to fight poison with poison!

What should I do if my child loves playing games? Don't panic, buy him a copy of "Ancestor Tree" to help him quit Internet addiction! What should I do if my child gets a headache and diarrhea when he does homework? Don't panic, even the top three hospitals can't cure the disease, just buy a copy of "Ancestor Tree" to cure it.

There is no child that cannot be cured by the "Ancestor Tree". No matter how tough one's mouth is, he will have an emotional breakdown after playing a thousand levels...

Chen Ba does not support this behavior, because he thinks that "Ancestor Tree" is not about quitting Internet addiction, but about quitting game addiction! If you play "Ancestor Tree" too much, you may lose interest in any game in the future, and even think that the mention of games is unlucky.

Isn't this digging a hole for yourself? As the CEO of a game company, Chen Ba doesn't want to see fewer and fewer leeks. With the game "Ancestor Tree", he suddenly became the sinner of the entire game industry.

So after the Spring Festival, he carefully considered his words and wrote a short essay with deep emotion. The core content was: Please don’t use “Ancestor Tree” to educate your children! “Ancestor Tree” does not welcome these student players!

certainly……

A short essay that expresses emotion is certainly not so straightforward. Even if this is the meaning, Chen Ba expressed it quite tactfully.

Under the pretext of doing what is good for the children and in the name of protecting the future flowers of the motherland, he asked the parents to stop their violence and stated that Tianba Studio would take practical actions to prevent any underage players from playing "Ancestor Tree".

“I’m doing this for the children’s good!”

"I really can't make this kind of money. If I make it, I will feel guilty. Dear Zi Han mothers, please rest assured that I will never allow minors to enter the game "Ancestor Tree"."

Don’t!

Although the parents were moved by Chen Ba's "responsible" statement and felt that this game company was indeed reliable, they did not want to support Chen Ba.

Young man, your intention is good, but why do you forbid my son Zihan from playing "Ancestor Tree"? Do you know that I am counting on this game to help my son Zihan get rid of his internet addiction?

No, you have to earn this money! Everyone can afford to buy a copy of the game, so for the sake of the children, please accept this little money.

"No, I really won't accept it!"

Chen Ba didn't want to be a sinner, and he didn't want to reap all the benefits in the future, so he really didn't want to take the money.

But the more he didn't want to accept it, the more parents pushed it on him, and even their evaluation of him became much better, thinking that Brother Ba was indeed the most responsible game player.

What are the children's attitudes? Of course they support it!

When they learned that Ancestor Tree was going to completely ban underage players, most of the children shed tears of joy, except for a few who felt unhappy and opposed.

Brother Ba, you are a good man!

Whoever wants to play this crappy game can play it. I won't play it anyway. It's better if it's banned, so that my parents don't force me to finish it all day long. I almost vomited my overnight meal because of playing it.

Regardless of the parents' opinions, Chen Ba was determined not to make the money. In order to protect future investors, he had to list "Ancestor Tree" as a "regulated" game.

However, not long after the game implemented strict "anti-addiction" measures, Chen Ba was summoned.

The parents were dissatisfied. Because it was the first time that their children were subject to anti-addiction measures, they approached the game company and demanded an explanation.

The Tianba Studio's lawyer who was in charge of handling the matter was stunned.

What the hell? Tianba Studio’s anti-addiction program has made parents furious. Are we not allowed to do anti-addiction program?

Turtle!

The sun never rises in the west, does it? Or did he hear it wrong? It is because the games of Tianba Studio have caused great harm to people that parents are demanding stronger measures to prevent addiction? "Harmful? As a lawyer, do you know how to speak? This clearly benefits people a lot..."

lawyer:"……"

Very good, this is the first time in all his years of work that he has encountered such an outrageous and abstract incident. Will this case be written into textbooks?
