Two years ago, a strange hacker syndicate began to surface.

For online game companies, there are four major hates, plug-ins, private servers, hackers, and Korean research and development. Among the four hates, plug-ins destroy the balance of the game, private servers share players' profits, and the follow-up R&D support of Korean R&D personnel makes domestic operators cry without tears.

And the hacker danger among the four hates is the most terrifying, hackers generally come and go without a trace, and when they are happy, they will overturn your official homepage, and then hang a line of slogans: "Today the big aunt is here!" No pick-up!! "When I was unhappy, I simply dumped the official database and blatantly put user information on the Internet for people to download.

Of course, these are only a very few absolute examples, most of China's so-called hackers are just a group of people who read a few hacker tutorials that they don't know what to understand, and they shout all over the world, "I'm a hacker, who can pick me!" At best, he just used QQ to send a few executable texts with Trojan programs to his QQ friends, and then used the rotten Trojan horse control zhì end collected on the Internet to create a little trouble for his friends.

The really powerful hackers have long become group operations, their commercialization process is very high, and the purpose of the attack is also very clear, and they directly steal the program they want in the simplest way, and then leave.

Out is a killer, come and go without a shadow. This is the demeanor of a master.

And those who shout "Brother is a hacker, Brother is invincible in the world" are often small broken children.

However, two years ago, a hacker group that targeted online game companies quietly appeared.

This hacker group is very low-key, they did not modify the login page on the official homepage, did not directly attack the game server, and did not steal the number of users.

They're just crazy about making the best equipment and a lot of in-game currency in the game.

It has been nearly 12 years since the development of online games in China, from the early legends to today's World of Warcraft, to the Dance Troupe, Journey, Dragon Babu, etc., online games have become one of the largest sources of profit for Internet companies.

With the popularity of the free-to-play model in China, online game companies no longer rely solely on charging time fees for game point cards to make profits, and everyone has found that charging for free-to-play game props is a better and faster way to make money.

As a result, with the help of game companies, various free games no longer rely on point cards to charge, so game coins and superb equipment props are equivalent to the deposit of RMB.

For example, in the new martial arts Gaiden game, a +14 Jin Chenxi is directly traded at a price of more than 7,000 yuan among players. In the Dungeons and Warriors game, 7.5 million game coins are directly equivalent to 30 yuan.

And this low-key hacker group, what they do, is actually not low-key at all. Their crazy production of superb equipment and massive in-game currency is in fact equivalent to directly making a large amount of golden cash!

The first to discover the existence of this hacker group is a game company in Beijing, their game is an RPG online game that charges for props, the game is a product developed by themselves, and in the game, they set up the best equipment is a ring called Kill the Wolf. The added stat of this ring is a fantasy treasure that players of any class in the game will covet.

The game designers set the drop rate for this ring to be 1 in a billion.

That is to say, this ring is stored in zài, but within ten years, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to hit it.

This game went through public testing and became very popular.

On the second day of the open beta, the game number analyst looked at the number jù Lg in amazement:

Item: Slay the wolf

The number of zài saved in the game: 3.

Immediately, after receiving an urgent report from the analyst, the lead programmer and the product manager met overnight to discuss it, and came to the conclusion that there should be a mistake in the design of the drop rate, and the guide player hit the most difficult ring to drop on the second day of the server.

Finally, a meeting convened by the company's top management, the game's master programmer, and the operations manager made an emergency decision: rollback.

So early the next morning, the official website released an announcement: "Dear players, because of the failure of the server Netcom and the telecom room, we have to regret to tell everyone that the number of jù libraries has been rolled back to yesterday, for which we express our 120,000 apologies!" ”

In the midst of the invective of players, the server number jù urgently rolled back to the day of the server.

Although it has caused irreparable damage to the game online and the bad reviews of players, it is better than the best equipment in the game because of the number of mistakes that became three on the second day of the server!

This time, the game's master programmer looked at it tremblingly, and after checking it thirty times, he finally uploaded the adjusted new wolf kill rate to the server.

This time, the Wolf Kill Drop Rate has been changed to 1 in 10 billion.

Immediately, the game was launched again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and anyway, they finally got through this difficulty.

Just as everyone was about to open champagne to celebrate the success of the game's open beta, the number jù analyst once again took the game number jù analysis Lg that had just been extracted, and rushed in sweating profusely.

Item: Slay the wolf

The number of zài saved in the game: 5.

In the midst of the chaos, everyone understood the fact that this was definitely not just a problem caused by a simple number of omissions! Someone must have mastered the bugs in the game, and the guide can quickly farm the most difficult ultimate equipment in the game.

And the most important thing is that this bug, as a developer and game designer, is not aware of it at all!

Now that it's happened,,Then it has to be solved.,It's impossible to roll back again.,The last rollback has caused nearly thirty percent of the game's online players to lose.,If you come back again.,Probably the public beta won't have to be done.,Let's shut down together.。

As a result, three decisions were made at an emergency accident analysis meeting.

1. Concentrate all technical forces and start to make every effort to check every line of jù code in the game, and strive to find out the problem of this bug as much as possible.

2. The analysis team tried their best to find out the source of the drop of the five wolf-killing props, and find out the relationship between their drops for analysis.

3. The customer service team immediately contacted the props of the five wolf-killing props and tried to find a way to recover them.

As soon as they came out of the conference room, everyone rushed out and divided into three groups and began to get busy. Since the establishment of this company, there has never been such a high-speed and efficient operation, even at the beginning of the project, when the main planner and main program lived in the company to do the data jù architecture.

Because everyone knows that if this bug is not solved, then the subsequent successive problems may directly cause the in-game prop system to crash!

Soon, the results of the three aspects came out one after another.

Due to too much game program code, less than half of it has been filtered and analyzed, and the main programmer and the four assistant programmers have stayed up for two nights in a row, and their eyes are red, but in addition to finding more than 20 grammatical errors and lengthy logic overflows of the system, they have not found any clues of core errors at all.

The number jù analysis team had the easiest workload, but the results were not simple at all.

The drop times of the five Wolf Slayer Rings were 1:20, 1:22, 1:25, 1:50, and 1:51 yesterday. The monsters dropped were 2 for the Gray Wolf, 1 for the Spirit Monkey, and 2 for the Purple Pheasant.

This number jù made everyone collapse.

For the design of the game, the drop of items is the most severe and harsh, for example, if the drop of a certain item is set to 20%, then this is not a simple mathematical calculation, you kill 5 monsters and you will definitely drop one of this item. Its logical probability formula is set every time a monster is killed,The computer value will automatically be between 100 to make a logical judgment value,When the judgment value is in the 0-20 area,This 20% drop takes effect,When the judgment value is in the 21-100 area,Then this 20% drop does not take effect。

In other words, if a player is lucky, he may be able to kill a monster the first time and drop this item, but if he is unlucky, he may kill a monster dozens of times and not get this item.

In terms of the setting of computational logic, most of the causal laws are in the latter.

Therefore, the drop rate of killing the wolf is set at 1 in 10 billion, which is completely the result of the main program's anger, and this drop rate can be said to be infinitely close to 0.

However, in less than an hour, the wolf fell out, and it was five in a row!

What's even more outrageous is that, judging from the number jùLg, these five wolf killer monsters, gray wolves, spirit monkeys, and purple pheasants are all just monsters in the novice village, that is to say, these five games should have been the best of the best wolf killer rings that would never appear in the legend, and they were obtained continuously by players when they did novice guide tasks in the novice village.

Seeing the results of this number, the main planner almost didn't turn his back on it.

Fortunately, the third news relieved everyone a little.

The customer service team has been receiving good news. The members of the customer service team found the players who held these five wolf slaying rings in the game according to the logs, and followed up with them separately.

The holder of the first Wolf Killing Ring was a warrior player who was less than ten levels, and the online customer service communicated with him, but found that this player had no concept of the Wolf Killing Ring, and he just put this ring on his body to equip it.

The holder of the second Wolf Slayer Ring is a level 15 mage player, and when the customer service tries to contact him, they are horrified to find that this player has sold the ring directly to the NPC shop for 4,000 gold.

The holder of the third Wolf Slayer Ring is a level 6 warrior player who has been out of action for more than 48 hours, and it is clear that he has become a churned user and is no longer logged into the game.

The holders of the fourth and fifth Wolf Slayer Rings had no idea what the ring was of much use, and they kept it in storage. When G communicated with him online, he signaled that the other party had a ring in the warehouse, why not take it out and use it.

"You mean the ring that doesn't have the attributes that can't be seen? It's useless, put it on your body to take up space, it's a pity to throw it away, just put it in the warehouse~! ”

So says the two players.

The game's master planner once again turned his back on it. As the ultimate equipment to slay the wolf, after just falling from the monster, it is in an unknown state, and it needs to be identified by NPC appraisers in major cities in order to activate its most perverted additional attributes. And its additional attributes are based on the basic attributes of the player's equipment character for a percentage bonus, that is to say, this ring is tantamount to an artifact in the hands of high-level players, but for this group of rookies who are still in the teens and have not yet stepped out of the novice village, this ring that adds the percentage of various basic attributes is not as much as the attributes directly increased by the equipment sent by the task.

This is also the reason why the two players ran to identify the wolf killing ring, but felt that the attributes of this equipment were not high, so they threw it directly in the warehouse.

The Wolf Killing Ring is a design that the main planner has always been complacent, and this equipment combines balance and anti-heaven duality, and it is the strongest storage zài only in the hands of masters, and in the hands of ordinary low-level players, it is not very characteristic to see.

The game master felt that his hard work had been wasted, and the pearl was covered with dust.

In the end, a customer service with a sweet voice called back to the five players, and under the snort and coquettishness, the five players surrendered one after another, telling the source of the five wolf rings.

"A level 10 warrior gave it to me." So they say.

The warrior's name was the Golden Bull.
