Chapter 276 It’s broken, I’ve become a substitute!

It is only natural that you lose health when you get beaten! This is just like paying back a debt. As the core mechanism of the game, Chen Ba believes that there is nothing wrong with this.

Yu Wenjie did lose health.

But the problem is, he didn't know where the HP he lost went, and he didn't know how it was lost. Anyway, it was recorded, but he was still at full HP...

This created the illusion of "blood lock", which was the fact of "cheating" recognized by everyone after the video was circulated in the community.

Chen Ba can clarify that Yu Wenjie did not cheat, but his light words are useless. He still needs to produce evidence to prove that Yu Wenjie did not cheat.

"Now there is a way!"

Xiao Lu observed the changes in Brother Ba's expression and proposed a more reasonable solution.

That is to define this incident as a game bug. In this way, Yu Wenjie would be cleared of the suspicion of cheating, and no one would attack or scold him anymore.

"But……"

Chen Ba said speechlessly: "Using your method, Yu Wenjie will indeed not be attacked, but what about me? What should I do?"

What a good trick to divert the blame! Someone will always be scolded anyway, so why not divert the conflict and transfer the players' anger from Yu Wenjie to Brother Ba?

"Shut up now!"

"Remember this: we at Tianba Studio can admit to anything, put any blame on ourselves, and take any responsibility, but we cannot admit that there is a problem with our game."

Chen Ba reiterated the core concept of the studio, saying that Xiao Lu's idea was wrong. How could he conclude that this was a game bug without any evidence? "If it's not a bug, what else could it be? Don't tell me this is your special design?" Xiao Lu said speechlessly.

"Maybe..."

Chen Ba, who always felt something was wrong, said with a stiff face: "Don't worry about it for now. I just want to ask you, where did Yu Wenjie's health that should have been deducted go?"

"How should I know?"

Xiao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I have checked and reviewed this game over 20 times. I can guarantee with my career that everything went well in this game!"

Xiao Lu studied the game between Yu Wenjie and the victim player over and over again, and his hair almost fell out. In the end, he could only come to one conclusion, that is, there was no problem.

Really no problem! The game parameters and codes are all normal, there are no abnormalities or special circumstances. The client and server have been checked, and this game is a normal game.

This... what else can be done? Xiao Lu really couldn't understand why, in one game, two players reported problems, but as game developers and operators, they investigated for a long time but found nothing?

Could it be a supernatural phenomenon? The divination system in the previous "Mountain Village Past" made Xiao Lu a little believe in the so-called metaphysics.

This scene made him a little scared. He couldn't find anything abnormal, but it was an abnormal game. What else could it be but a supernatural phenomenon? Did Brother Ba use the "super administrator" account to help Yu Wenjie cheat?

Come on! Brother Ba has no relationship with Yu Wenjie, and they don’t even know each other. Why would he open a super administrator account to help him cheat and cover up the traces?

If I must say, the probability of Brother Ba using a super administrator account to privately chat with female players and have an online romance is probably a hundred times higher than this !

Excluding the only possibility that the super administrator used his authority to interfere with the game process, this problem can only be described as "haunted".

"Don't get into feudal superstition. This is clearly a problem within the game. We just haven't found the root cause of the problem."

Chen Ba curled his lips and said, "But it's really weird. The health is obviously locked, so why can't we find any abnormalities in the game?"

It’s like an invisible big hand has forcibly intervened in this game without leaving any traces, or rather… it has left traces, but what “it” did is in line with the game mechanism, so there is no problem.

But the problem arises again!

Chen Ba really couldn't think of any other possibility that could do this except the super administrator account.

The main thing is that it leaves no trace, which is really puzzling.

This is also the reason why Chen Ba refuted Xiao Lu and felt that this was not a "game bug".

That’s right!

The reason why he did not admit that this was a game bug, even in private, was mainly because all of these performances did not meet the criteria for determining a game bug.

Game bugs must at least have abnormal phenomena and situations. In other words, if this is a game bug, they will definitely be able to detect clues.

No game bug can escape the eyes of game producers after being exposed.

The players were eagerly waiting, while Chen Ba and Xiao Lu spent a long time in front of the computer but could not give a reply, nor could they send a notice to Yu Wenjie to prove his innocence. This was the root cause.

Cheating? No!

Game Bug? Not really!

So what is going on? Why is it that the player gets hit but doesn't lose any health? "Brother Ba, how about we forget it?"

Xiao Lu was a little hungry and really didn't want to continue accompanying Brother Ba, mainly because it was a completely useless effort.

If you can discover something after trying, even if the problem cannot be solved immediately after it is discovered, at least you won't feel that frustrated.

But after tinkering with it for a long time, they still didn't know what the problem was. What else could this be but a waste of time? With this time, they might as well fill their stomachs first, and then think carefully about whether they missed any key points, or look for a new way to break the deadlock.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Apart from being able to eat and sleep, what else can you do?"

Chen Ba cursed angrily, "Do you know how many player feedbacks I received in private messages? More than 35,000! With so many players waiting for news, how can you eat?"

"So many?"

Xiao Lu's eyes widened, as if he had not expected that this incident would cause such a big stir.

If all the 35,000 private messages were about this issue, it would really be a headache for Brother Naba. No wonder he was so anxious and uneasy.

"Let me see..."

After being scolded by Brother Ba, Xiao Lu gave up the idea of ​​eating.

But he couldn't think of any other solution for the time being, so he could only use Brother Ba's mobile phone to look through the private messages in the background, trying to find new clues from these messages.

This is incredible! Brother Ba's private messages in the background are really exciting, much more exciting than Xiao Lu imagined, and he was so excited after reading it.

Someone was foul-mouthed and started scolding Brother Ba, and then after he was done he still had to say "We'll continue tomorrow".

Someone boldly expressed his love. I don’t know where he heard that Brother Ba likes long legs. The private message was full of photos of legs. Brother Ba even took the time to reply, “Is this you?”, but was ridiculed, “Brother Ba, you are really hungry. Even two sausages can fool you.”

Some people also wrote short essays of hundreds or thousands of words, all of which were suggestions or ideas about the game. They looked quite serious, but the ending "V me 50 unlock follow-up" made Xiao Lu unable to hold back.

What's more, eh...

Xiao Lu slid his finger and was about to look at the next private message from a fan. He thought it was another funny private message, but he never expected that this private message did not contain any photos of legs or foul language, but was actually serious feedback about a problem in the game.

The problem he reported was actually about a strange bug in the newly released "Star Emperor 2" and the accompanying "Galaxy" peripheral set.

…

Zhao Yunlong spent hundreds of dollars to buy the Galaxy suit, but it broke down after less than a day of use, which made him lose face in front of netizens.

It was originally agreed that the so-called "Galaxy" set would be allowed to be experienced by the audience in the live broadcast room on the afternoon of the day the goods were received.

Unfortunately, the equipment broke down.

When he told this to the few viewers in the live broadcast room, he was laughed at by everyone, who said that he was a rare villain in a century.

"I can't stand this grievance..."

What kind of person is Zhao Yunlong? He could not bear this injustice. Not only did he contact the after-sales department of Mirage Electronics to request a refund, he also sent a private message to Brother Ba, reporting the relevant issues and hoping that Brother Ba would give an explanation.

High emotional intelligence: Give an explanation!

Low EQ: Brother Ba, look at the expensive peripherals you made, they have caused me so much trouble. I don’t think it’s right if you don’t compensate me for the mental damage, right?

Of course, this is just for show.

After sending the private message, Zhao Yunlong didn't expect Brother Ba to really reply to him.

After all, as everyone knows, Brother Ba receives a lot of private messages every day, and among so many private messages, only those guys who are sending photos of themselves having online romances receive replies.

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

Just contact after-sales.

The reason for sending this private message was purely because Zhao Yunlong wanted to create a good show effect in front of the audience in the live broadcast room and attract more viewers to watch his live broadcast.

But he never expected that the private message he sent for the sake of show effect would actually receive a reply from Brother Ba not long after.

"Zundu fake du?"

When Zhao Yunlong first received the reply, he couldn't believe it. Brother Ba actually replied to him?

After a quick look, it was really Brother Ba! Not only did he reply to him, he also said he wanted to add his contact information to ask for more details.

Oh my god!

He is just an ordinary "Star Emperor 2" player and a new anchor who has just started his live broadcast career. He actually added Brother Ba's WeChat. Who would believe this?

"You said that after you used the Galaxy Suit to fight a player, the equipment started to malfunction?"

After adding the contact information, Zhao Yunlong was stunned when he saw the message from Brother Ba, and then he replied decisively: "Yes, that's it!"

"Then the nickname of the player you are playing against is [Jie Ge Bu Wai]?"

“It’s this ID!”

Zhao Yunlong remembered that in the game where he used the Galaxy Equipment to kill his way into Immortality, the opponent's ID seemed to be called this name.

"OK, please describe the specific process of that game in detail. The more detailed the better..."

Zhao Yunlong didn't know that after his private message was seen by Xiao Lu, Tianba Studio immediately gathered people and launched an investigation into the game between him and [Jie Ge Bu Yao La].

Everyone was shocked by this investigation.

Chen Ba and Xiao Lu struggled for a long time but still couldn't find the breakthrough and the root of the problem. It turned out to be in this game. They had previously focused on another game to investigate, but they were looking in the wrong direction.

To put it simply.

Yu Wenjie, also known as the player [Jie Ge Bu Yao La], first played a game with Zhao Yunlong, and then played a game with another player.

This caused heated discussion in the community. The "blood lock" phenomenon that everyone was discussing occurred in the second game, which is why Chen Ba and Xiao Lu focused on investigating the second game.

But in reality...

The reason why Yu Wenjie was able to “lock the blood” was not because of the second game, but because of the first game he played against Zhao Yunlong.

Through Zhao Yunlong's additional explanation of the situation and the game backend's investigation and retesting of that game, Chen Ba finally found the answer.

"Galaxy suit?"

"No! To be precise, this has little to do with the hardware itself, but a problem with the driver!"

"How could a driver problem cause abnormal phenomena in the second game? Generally speaking, when a driver problem occurs, only the player himself is affected, and other players will not be implicated..."

Xiao Lu was very confused.

Brother Ba said that this was a driver problem. He thought this was nonsense. How could a driver problem affect other players' gaming experience? To put it more directly, how could a hardware driver affect the game? "You are right. It is true that ordinary hardware drivers will not affect the game or other players no matter what."

Chen Ba explained: "But is there a possibility that the Galaxy peripherals are exclusive to Star Emperor 2, and the two are highly tied together?"

One more thing.

The drivers for Galaxy peripherals and the core program of "Star Emperor 2" were all created by one person.

This is the crux of the problem!

"You mean..."

Xiao Lu frowned and asked, "Did an unknown bug or situation occur in the driver of Galaxy Peripheral, causing a chain reaction in the game and eventually affecting other players?"

“That’s right!”

Chen Ba nodded: "The problem is with the driver. It should be caused by the game crashing and reconnecting. Let's not discuss the specific problem for now."

"In short, this unknown driver bug caused a chain reaction in the core game program, causing player A's input device to replace player B's input device..."

Zhao Yunlong was using the Galaxy Suit, but the game crashed and then reconnected, which caused an unknown problem with the driver.

Because of this problem, the Galaxy Suit used by Zhao Yunlong was connected to the character of his opponent in the previous game, Yu Wenjie.

So……

Zhao Yunlong used the Galaxy peripheral and successfully "took over" Yu Wenjie's character when Yu Wenjie was typing and chatting, calling out the input box and input method, and Yu Wenjie lost control of the character.

Let’s go back to the problem that players initially reported, which is the “blood lock” phenomenon that appeared in the video.

The answer is already obvious!

Yu Wenjie did get hit, and his health did get lost. But because of this bug, it was actually Zhao Yunlong who was controlling his character, so it was Zhao Yunlong's health that was lost.

This is also what Zhao Yunlong mentioned. After wearing the Galaxy Suit, the device gave a "hit" feedback even though no operation was performed.

It seemed that Yu Wenjie was being beaten, but in fact it was Zhao Yunlong who was being beaten thousands of miles away. Of course Yu Wenjie was not losing blood. How could he lose blood out of thin air when he was not "hurt"?

On the contrary, Zhao Yunlong did nothing, but his character inexplicably became "severely injured and low on health"...

Oh no, he became a substitute!
