From that pancake fruit, the game seems to become improper.

Zhang Pengfei went to work during the day, turned on the computer after work, entered the game "Love Staff", and consulted the military advisor Xiaolin.

That's right!

Serious love counseling.

Neither of them mentioned the pancake fruit, as if it hadn't happened, how the game should be played or how it should be played.

He wanted to attack Lily, and Kobayashi gave him advice. As for another military advisor who "doesn't eat tomatoes", he felt that his ability was insufficient, so he took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown.

Movies, food, zoos, roller coasters......

In order to better guide Lily, Zhang Pengfei decided to ask Xiaolin to give him advice, which dating method is more appropriate?

But Kobayashi didn't know.

Then you can only try it all, and then let Kobayashi stand in the perspective of a girl and analyze which way is better based on personal experience.

There's a reason for that.

Although I can't see the specific favorability value, Kobayashi-san's character is a character of the opposite sex, so the interaction option will pop up.

According to Kobayashi, every time she interacts, several options are displayed on her side.

For example, after riding the roller coaster together, you will unlock responses such as "It's fun" or "Don't come to this place next time".

Based on different responses and interactions, Lily can be analyzed...... Forehead! This seems to be Kobayashi-san's preference, not Lily's preference?

Forget it, no matter what!

Zhang Pengfei didn't know what it was, anyway, he and Xiaolin had a good chat, and he would feel very happy playing games with her, and occasionally he was a little nervous.

There was something he didn't tell Kobayashi-san.

That is, he found that the goodwill system that obviously works for NPCs seems to be effective for Kobayashi-san.

As the relationship gradually warmed up, he even unlocked the hidden interactive options of "confession" and "holding hands" in the game!

Pinching the hemp kiss......

When these interactive options popped up, he admitted that he was numb.

What's that?

Isn't Kobayashi-san a player? How can only NPCs have interaction options that appear on a player?

"This game is really poisonous!"

Zhang Pengfei felt that the turning point of his fate should be that day, on a whim, he bought a pancake fruit in the game, and found that it could be given to other players.

This send, something went wrong.

Obviously, what he was thinking about at first was to raid Lily, and Kobayashi-chan was a love counselor who came to give him advice.

It's good now......

Lily? What Lily?

Irrelevant! He had even forgotten what Lily looked like, and his mind was full of thoughts about Kobayashi-san, thinking about her voice, thinking about what she had said.

In fact, after chatting for so long, he also knew Kobayashi's real name and general family situation.

But he never thought of anything else.

Until one day, Xiaolin suddenly told him that he might not have time to play the game if he was very busy in two days, so why not add a WeChat?

That's when he reacted.

Damn! Is this online dating?

But that's not right! Dude just wants to find a paper guy girlfriend, what's ...... Why did you inexplicably develop in the direction of online dating?

Although he was a little surprised, for some reason, he still added Kobayashi's WeChat, and changed from a game friend to a WeChat friend.

Of course!

Play to play, trouble to trouble, he doesn't know what kind of relationship he has with Xiaolin.

Anyway, the two still play the game as usual, and after the game, they will share some interesting stories about their lives on WeChat from time to time......

Until one day, Zhang Pengfei told Xiaolin about his "major discovery" in the form of a joke, that is, players can make a confession to another player.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

"Okay!"

"But ......"

Zhang Pengfei was very hesitant, because in the game "Love Staff", if the favor does not reach a certain level, the confession will be rejected by the NPC.

Then here's the problem!

What if it was a confession to the player?

"It should be the same as any other interaction, it's up to me to decide whether to accept it or not......"

"Will you accept that?"

Zhang Pengfei's heart was beating faster, and he was even breathing a little faster.

Although this is just a confession in the game, it can't be true, but I don't know why, he is very nervous now, holding the right hand of the mouse, and the palm is full of sweat.

"Guess!"

……

Tianba official website, player community.

50 days after the release of the early access version of "Love Staff", Chen Ba just discussed the release time of the official version with Brother Dong, and planned to visit the community when he had nothing to do.

This is also his daily routine.

It's a serious thing to listen to the real feedback and voices of the players and make some adjustments and changes as appropriate.

For example, some time ago, "The Emperor of the Stars" was updated with a new character - the Emperor of Winter.

After the new characters were launched, everyone rushed to play, and the selection rate of ranked games once soared to more than 70%, which is simply not too popular.

But after playing, everyone feels that this character is a bit weak, the strength is far less than the previous characters, and the win rate is not even as good as the 10,000-year-old sewer Long Night Emperor.

Damn, what kind of garbage character is this?

The winning rate of the Emperor of the Long Night is low, that is because of the positioning of the glass cannon, the upper limit is high and the lower limit is low, and many people are vegetables and fun, so the comprehensive winning rate cannot get up.

But this new character, the comprehensive win rate is not even as good as the Emperor of the Long Night, isn't it too outrageous?

The official Tianba Studio is ready to be urgently enhanced, and as a result, some players on the forum said: The Winter Emperor is not weak, and the reason why the win rate is low is because you can't play!

He developed a new style of play.

At this time, everyone found out, oh, it turns out that the Winter Emperor's combo is like this, and it turns out that he has to sacrifice his blood to give the opponent the "Winter" buff......

After finding the right way of thinking, the victory rate of the Winter Emperor went up at once, even to the point that it could be weakened.

This incident also reminded Chen Ba.

It's important to keep an eye on what players are doing and what they're talking about, because they probably know better how to play the game than they do.

So since then, he has opened his account every day to go to the forum to swipe through popular discussion posts and sharing posts to see what the players are doing.

Today is no exception.

But as soon as he clicked on the forum, he was immediately speechless by the title of a popular post.

[Thank you Brother Ba, thank you Tianba Studio, thank you "Love Staff" for letting me successfully get out of the single and find true love! ] 】

What nonsense are you talking about?

It's not the first time Chen Ba has swiped this kind of post, since the release of "Love Staff", people have this kind of title every day, and they come to the forum to post their "paper man" wife.

Is there a shame in it?

This kind of title that is easy to misunderstand.,Just to show the paper man girl you soaked in the game?

Delete it now!

This kind of paper man's wife, who doesn't say it, do you know that the most powerful players have been divorced eight times?

Thinking that it was another post of the daughter-in-law of the paper-drying person, Chen Ba was not even interested in clicking on it.

But just as he flicked the mouse wheel to look down, he noticed something very special.

This post ......

The number of replies and likes is so high?

Looking at the more than 6,000 replies and the number of likes as high as 120,000, Chen Ba subconsciously rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was wrong.

120,000 likes?

What a situation! This should be a new record for the official forum, right? There has never been a popular post with more than 100,000 likes.

With a hint of curiosity, Chen Ba clicked on the post.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Pengfei, game ID "Feipeng General", 27 years old this year, from Huizhou!"

"I was one of the first players to get my hands on Love Staff, and I've had over 200 hours of gameplay so far......"

it! So liver?

Seeing the 200 hours of game time revealed by the landlord, Chen Ba was directly stunned.

It's only been a little over a month since the game was released in Early Access, which is 200 hours of play, with an average of four hours of play a day, so don't you have to go to work and school?

Thinking of the title of the post, Chen Ba suddenly had a bold idea.

No way?

“…… After getting to know Kobayashi-san through asking for help, I bought a pancake fruit at a street stall and gave it to her. ”

"In addition to exchanging gifts, we went to zoos and amusement parks together, took roller coasters, and went to the movies together......"

In the post, Zhang Pengfei explained what he and Xiaolin had done, and also shared the bits and pieces of their relationship.

Then, the turning point came.

One day, Zhang Pengfei, who was playing games normally, suddenly found that whenever he got close to Xiaolin's classmates, the game would pop up several interactive options that he had never seen before.

Confession, holding hands, hugging......

There are screenshots and there is the truth!

This directly stunned everyone, and also made Chen Ba in front of the screen dumbfounded.

He guessed that the content of this post would definitely be very strong, otherwise there would not be such a high number of replies and likes.

But he really didn't expect that in the game "Love Staff", there is such a deeply hidden and explosive interactive content.

"When I first saw these interactive options, I didn't think it was weird, I just thought it was a bug."

"But I asked Juanzi later to find out that when these interactive options appeared in the game, it was when she had a crush on me......"

"Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's fate! Anyway, after those few interactive options appeared, our relationship quickly warmed up. ”

"After a week, I finally couldn't hold back my curiosity and throbbing, and tried to confess to Juanzi in the game......"

"Thank you, Brother Ba! Thank you to Tianba Studio, thank you to the game "Love Staff", let me find such a good girlfriend! "Pictured. JPG」”

At the end of the post is a photo.

It was a group photo of two young men and women with their faces mosaiced, snuggling up tightly in the sunset.

I like a quote from a player of "Love Staff": Huh?!

Chen Ba's brain was buzzing.

Not only him, but other players who read this post will also have their brains down for a while and a half.

"What's going on?"

"It's the same game bought for 68 yuan, why can buddy only chase paper people, but you kid chased real people?"

"Am I playing piracy?"

"Return the money! I'm going to play the genuine too! ”

"Wishing 99! By the way, what happens in the first screenshot to be able to make a confession to other players? ”

"I just tried it, no!"

Chen Ba, who came back to his senses, looked at the exchanges and discussions of other players in the post, and also realized the problem.

That's right!

The first screenshot, those interactive options that appear in it, there are no more in the game!

Confessions, holding hands, and hugging these interactions can only be used on NPC characters who have a good impression of them, and are useless to other players.

There can be nothing wrong with that.

Chen Ba was worried that he had misremembered, so he deliberately went into the game to find someone to try it, and it was true that there was no such thing.

"Is it possible that this is only for characters of the opposite sex? You asked me to test it, but I couldn't test it at all? ”

Xiao Lu felt that Brother Ba was mostly dizzy, so he actually let him into the game, and then went on a roller coaster ride and went to the movies together......

What is this testing?

If you want to test the content described in the post, you should find a player of the opposite sex to test it, right?

"Makes sense."

Chen Ba instructed: "Then you hurry up and register a female number!" ”

Xiao Lu: "......"

Although he was reluctant, Xiao Lu still registered a female number, and then drove to accompany Brother Ba for the test.

"Gifts can be given, and there will also be special interactive options after a date event such as a roller coaster, a movie, a meal, etc......."

The more Chen Ba looked, the more familiar he became.

Isn't this the same set of interactive templates for Raiders NPCs? The difference is that NPCs will automatically respond based on their opinion.

Players are free to choose.

For example, if you initiate a "Dinner Together" invitation, the NPC will automatically determine whether to accept the invitation based on your current favorability.

The player is popped up with the option to accept or reject, and can choose any one of them......

"Wait a minute!"

Halfway through the test, Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something and stopped Xiao Lu, who was about to take the next test.

"What's wrong, Brother Ba?"

Xiao Lu is very curious, the test is not over yet, at least it has not been tested, under what circumstances will there be a situation of "initiating a confession" to other players.

"I know the answer!"

Chen Ba did not explain, but turned on the game background monitoring mode, and displayed the real-time favorability curve on the screen.

Damn?!

Seeing this curve, Xiao Lu's eyes were about to pop out.

What's the situation?

Isn't this an NPC-specific favorability curve? How can players have it too?

"Let's test!"

Chen Ba waved his hand, signaling Xiao Lu to leave this alone for now, and then proceed to the next test.

And then......

They saw an amazing scene.

As players interact with each other, especially each time a player chooses, the favorability curve will rise or fall, exactly like NPCs.

"That is to say......"

Xiao Lu swallowed and said: "When the player makes the corresponding choice, the favorability curve will change, and when it reaches a certain level, special interactions such as confession, holding hands, kissing, and hugging will be unlocked?" ”

"It seems so."

Chen Ba nodded.

Cultivate feelings, and then the feelings continue to heat up until the confession confirms the relationship and can be intimate contact......

It makes sense!

The only thing that's wrong is that this system is supposed to be for players and NPCs to cultivate feelings, so how can players and players use it too?

If it works, forget it!

The point is that this curve, which reflects the change in NPC favorability, is so easy to use when applied to players?
