When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 407 Let netizens verify the authenticity!

Lilith frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

Obviously, she has realized that the problems of the company Nitiantang seem to be bigger than she thought.

At this moment, she was like the emperors in ancient times whose decrees could not leave the Forbidden City.

He could vaguely feel that as an emperor, all his powers were strictly restricted. It seemed that many of the civil servants under him were rebellious, especially the chief minister of the cabinet, who seemed to be the number one traitor.

Today this decree was rejected for this reason, and tomorrow that decree triggered a fierce resistance from a group of civil servants, with them crying and banging their heads against pillars.

In short, things just can't be done!

But when we checked afterwards, we really couldn't find any problems.

These civil servants all look like loyal ministers. Not only do they live a simple life and have no extra money, but they also have solid reasons and evidence every time they debate with the emperor. It seems that they are truly considering the country and the long-term wholeheartedly.

If you don't trust the civil service system, what about sending the Embroidered Uniform Guards or eunuchs to investigate?

The results showed that there were no major problems.

Neither the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard nor the governor of the Eastern Depot could find any problems with those high-ranking officials. At most, they tortured a few of them into confessing, and in the end, they proved that the whole case was a false accusation.

Could it be that it is not the world that is wrong, but myself?

How is that possible!
Although Lilith was not particularly familiar with Chinese history, as a high-ranking demon from hell, she could instinctively guess that there was definitely something wrong with the entire system.

That’s right, this system may have completely lost its ability to correct errors!
Just like the mutual protection among officials in ancient bureaucracy, after a systemic collapse, any temptation that is not tolerated by the system will disappear without a trace like a stone sinking into the sea.

What's more, Lilith's current situation should be even worse than those emperors in ancient times.

What should I do?

Lilith could only think of one solution: the best solution for now was to introduce external forces.

Find a third party that has nothing to do with the interests of Nitiantang, find a talent who can crack these tricks, give him full trust, and then break down this stubborn fortress bit by bit.

So who is this person...?

A familiar figure naturally emerged in Lilith's mind, Qin Fengliang.

But when this figure just appeared, Lilith felt genuinely discouraged.

Wolong has taken action three or four times, but each time he behaves more like a traitor than the traitor!
The last time Qin Fengliang made a move was when the full-class gameplay of Shadow World appeared. She vowed that as long as she could strongly cooperate with Shengjing Group's Star World, she would be able to lead players to Star World, making them more and more dissatisfied with Shadow World, thus achieving the purpose of persuading players to quit and collecting negative emotions.

But what about the final result?
Shengjing Group lost again!

So far, "Astral World" has long been in a slump, while "Shadow World" has achieved good success in both major versions. So far, even if there are no version updates, players are still enjoying playing it.

Lilith was also wondering why these players were so persistent!

Generally speaking, the freshness of MMORPGs is mainly maintained by constantly updating versions. After all, the same team dungeon and the same mechanism will make players feel fresh after playing for a month, get bored after playing for three months, and lose interest completely after playing for half a year or a year.

But "Shadow World" seems to be an outlier. Although there are indeed players who are tired of the game and are quitting, there is also a steady stream of new players entering, and many old players come back to play after AFK for a while.

As time goes on, the game generates fewer negative emotions and more positive emotions.

Obviously, more and more players are gradually getting used to the unreasonable settings in the game, but the joy of successfully completing the group and defeating the boss is always there.

Although this kind of fun will gradually decrease with repeated completion of the game, there will still be a fixed minimum value.

So after Qin Fengliang's last bad idea, Lilith was so angry that she hadn't visited her for a long time.

The later "Endless Fantasy Tales" and "Heartbeat Dreamland" have similar scripts. The beginning seems quite normal and each time is the most promising episode, but in the end, problems arise frequently and Lilith's plan fails.

It’s impossible... to go to Qin Fengliang for advice again?
Lilith actually rejected this option in her heart, but after thinking about it, she realized that she couldn't find a better candidate at the moment.

Of course, Lilith has some other think tanks like Qin Fengliang, but overall, she still thinks Qin Fengliang is the most reliable and has more comprehensive knowledge.

Those other so-called think tanks often only specialize in a certain field and may not be able to provide any constructive suggestions for her game.

"Damn it, it seems urgent to continue cultivating external forces!"

Lilith couldn't find any flaws in Gu Fan for the time being, so she could only sit back and do nothing, superficially accepting the fact that "Heartbeat Dream" could no longer collect too many negative emotions.

She decided to give Qin Fengliang one last chance. If she still made things more troublesome this time, she would block this think tank permanently and let her guard the haunted house for the rest of her life!

Thinking of this, Lilith turned around and left the villa without saying hello to Gu Fan.

"Huh? Didn't it just disappear?"

Gu Fan was a little surprised. Lilith most likely drove out after leaving the villa. As for where she was going, it was probably not going back to hell.

Going for help?
In fact, Gu Fan had already sensed that Lilith must have some other forces in the human world that he could turn to for help, but he was not panicking. After all, when the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. As for the level of those think tanks that Lilith found, to be frank... they didn't seem to be much better than herself.

……

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Lilith came to the Purgatory Demon Cave haunted house.

"Boss Li! You are finally here!

"During the time you were away, I missed you day and night and felt so sorry for you!

"I reviewed all the mistakes I made before, and I've discovered that this time the enemy is extremely cunning. But don't worry, Boss Li, I've evolved in all aspects and am no longer the same as before!

"You are now facing internal and external troubles, and you are surrounded by enemies on all sides. You must let me help share the burden!"

Qin Fengliang was crying and snotting, and looked even more heartbroken than Lilith.

As a think tank, she is also very dedicated. When she receives Lilith's message late at night, she gets up directly from the bed and does not miss any opportunity to share the worries of her boss.

Seeing that Qin Fengliang was so reliable, Lilith couldn't help but soften her heart and thought that she might consider giving her another chance.

After all, he is an old subordinate of mine. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. Maybe he can turn the tables this time?
For Lilith, she only needs to win once and find out the traitor of Anti-Heaven, and that's enough. After that, it will be smooth sailing, and she can have as many negative emotions as she wants!
That's the reason why you have to pay interest when you lose consecutive games.

Although the development of Against the Heaven has been smooth sailing and has accumulated huge reputation among the player community, it also means that as long as the method is appropriate, Lilith can use this reputation to make a big difference and collect a huge amount of negative emotions at one time.

So, it’s far from time to give up.

"Okay, okay, let me make it short. The game of Against the Heaven is called "Heartbeat Dreamland". My original idea was..."

Lilith quickly recounted the problems that "Heartbeat Dream" was encountering at the moment.

Of course, Gu Fan also gave a detailed and comprehensive explanation of the outrageous bugs in the game, the incredible performance of the fake-AI, and his explanation of the various codes.

Then she looked at Qin Fengliang: "Do you think Gu Fan is fooling me?"

Lilith did not carefully verify Gu Fan’s previous explanations of the game bugs, but based on her understanding of the game, these explanations were still relatively credible.

But this time, the explanation of "Heartbeat Dream" sounded a bit outrageous, so Lilith wanted to verify it in depth to see if there was any trick in it.

Qin Fengliang fell into deep thought.

"Boss Li, to be honest, I don't know much about codes.

“Programmers are creatures with a wide range of upper and lower limits. The gap between a good programmer and a bad programmer is wider than the gap between a human and a dog.

"What's more, up to now, there are probably not many technical experts on the Internet who can really understand fake-AI."

Lilith frowned slightly. "You mean, even if I find some programmers, I may not be able to get the correct answer?"

Qin Fengliang nodded: "Yes, after all, Gu Fan is already a top programmer, and his perspective on the problem may be different from that of ordinary programmers.

"Even if the average programmer thinks he's wrong, they won't necessarily believe him."

Lilith couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What Qin Fengliang said made a lot of sense and also pointed out a key blind spot: if external forces are to be introduced to verify program problems, then this person must have a level similar to Gu Fan.

Because for things like this, sufficient professional knowledge is needed to support the correct conclusion.

For example, if Lilith wanted to verify whether there was any problem with the design of the rocket, but she didn't find a rocket expert, but only found an amateur scientist, and then the amateur scientist said that the rocket must use anthracite as fuel. Isn't this nonsense?

The same is true for the procedures, which are also highly professional.

But as a programmer, Gu Fan's level is really too high. Where can I find people with the same level as him? Such people should be technical backbones in some large companies, right? I'm afraid it's not that easy to find.

Qin Fengliang was confident. She smiled slightly, obviously having thought about this problem a long time ago.

"Don't worry, Ms. Li, I have a solution.

"It is not easy for us to find these technical backbones in large companies. Firstly, we don't have the connections. Secondly, even if we find them, these people are usually busy with work and may not be willing to take our private work.

"But it doesn't matter. It's hard to find the ones that cost money, but it's easy to find the ones that don't cost money."

Lilith was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

What does it mean that it is hard to find something that costs money, but easy to find something that doesn't cost money?

That's the opposite, right?

Qin Fengliang smiled slightly: "Boss Li, haven't you heard of a saying? It's called the masters are among the people.

"For example, the liver emperor who had been against you before, wasn't he an expert?"

Lilith shook her head violently, like a rattle: "No, Liver Emperor! This man is hopeless. It is absolutely impossible to expect him to help me!

"Besides, his main skills are in making mods. It's hard to say whether he has done any research on fake-AI."

Qin Fengliang hurriedly said: "Boss Li, I'm not asking you to find the Liver Emperor, I'm just using him as an example.

"On the Internet, there are still many top experts who do things purely out of interest. For example, the hardworking person has strong skills. If he finds a job in a big company, his income will not be bad. But he just likes to make his own mods and share them for free.

"Similarly, in Tieba or other gaming forums, there are many similar experts. If you pay them to help you do something, they will be very reluctant. However, if they encounter something that they are interested in, they will immediately bring their own food to do it, and they will definitely make sure that the work is done beautifully and clearly.

“The key here is ‘interest’!
"As long as we can arouse their interest, we can get them to work for us without paying a penny."

Lilith nodded suddenly.

It sounds like there is a lot of potential!

There are indeed all kinds of great people on the Internet. They are usually invisible or lurking, but once they encounter something they are interested in, they will immediately burst out with 120% of their enthusiasm to complete a certain task without asking for anything in return.

For example, some top mod authors make balance mods for some games that are even better than the official ones;

Another example is some god-level players who can even perform horrific operations that the game designers can't even imagine, raising the upper limit of the game's operation to an incredible level;

There are also special tools for various software or apps, which may even do better than the original versions.

The Internet is so huge that there is never a shortage of top masters like this.

But the question is, how can we arouse their interest?

This thing is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do.

Qin Fengliang smiled confidently and said, "Boss Li, if it is another project, it may not work, but "Heartbeat Dreamland" itself is very influential, and it is a natural gimmick.

"If you really want to verify whether what Gu Fan said is true, you only need to do one thing:

"Try to create public opinion and release the news that 'the true ending of "Tokimeki Dreamland" was created by AI itself.' Then, naturally, many technical experts will dig deep into the underlying code to study whether this is true or not."

Lilith's eyes gradually widened: "Good idea! This is really a good idea!"

Most netizens have a rebellious mentality and a tendency to argue.

If I tell netizens that the ending of "Heartbeat Dream" was carefully designed by the official.

Netizens will surely say: You spent so much time and effort to design this? It's not that great, what's there to brag about.

But if I tell netizens: The ending of "Heartbeat Dream" was not an official design at all, but was made by fake-AI itself.

Netizens will surely say: What nonsense! How could this be fake-AI? This must be a hype by Nitiantang!

Once this trend of doubt forms, there will inevitably be countless experts on the Internet to interpret it.

They will go through every line of code in this game to see if this ending was hard-coded during the development of Against the Heavens or was it accidentally caused by a bug in the AI?
Even if some of these participants don’t have good technical skills, it doesn’t matter at all.

Because everyone will discuss and argue with each other, and eventually there will always be a correct answer.

“In other words, I don’t have to spend a penny or do anything special. I just need to spread the word and I can get those Internet experts to work for me for free and help me catch the traitor!
"This is really... great!"

Lilith was still worrying about how to confirm whether what Gu Fan said was true.

Find a new programmer, you may not be able to trust him.

But now you don’t have to worry about it. If it is posted online, the result of repeated discussions among all the experts will definitely be the correct answer!
At that time, we just need to see whether the results of everyone’s research are consistent with what Gu Fan said.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you! I want to see results tomorrow night!"

Lilith looked at the time. She had been chatting with Qin Fengliang for more than an hour without realizing it. It was almost six o'clock. She couldn't come during the day, so in order to save time, she had to let Qin Fengliang do this task.

This is reasonable. After all, this idea was thought up by Qin Fengliang, so naturally she needs to carry it out personally.

Qin Fengliang was so grateful that he burst into tears: "Thank you for your trust, President Li. I will definitely get this done!"

Obviously, this was her chance to win back Ms. Li's trust.

Qin Fengliang was also wondering if he and Ni Tian Tang were incompatible? Why did every idea he came up with for Ni Tian Tang always have a counter-effect for some unknown reason?
To the point that Ms. Li almost stopped trusting her.

Qin Fengliang must consider whether this is his only chance in his life to win back President Li's trust and return to the top spot on the think tank list. It all depends on this one move!

……

……

The next day at noon, the game Against Heaven.

Everyone else strolled to eat nearby, leaving Zhou Yang alone. He ordered takeout and ate while watching a video.

For the employees of Nitiantang, the company is good in every aspect except the food, where there is still some room for improvement.

After all, there are only so many foods nearby. Even if you count all the small restaurants nearby, plus the nearby shopping malls and stores that can deliver throughout the city through food delivery apps, the range of choices is still very small.

After such a long time, I’m almost tired of eating at all the delicious restaurants.

Every day at lunch, I have a difficult decision to make.

As for Zhou Yang, he is not very particular about food. After all, he can always choose McDonald's or Ken's.

"Huh? You didn't go out to eat today." Gu Fan seemed to have just finished his meal and came over for a walk.

Zhou Yang hurriedly asked, "Boss Gu, after I left last night, nothing...important should have happened, right?"

Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "Are you talking about Ms. Li? Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Zhou Yang nodded, thinking that with Mr. Gu around, he could be reliable.

Obviously, Ms. Li still asked some questions last night, but who is Mr. Gu? He must have helped to fool her. Oh no, he explained it away.

At this time, all the employees of Nitiantang could feel that their cooperation with each other was becoming more and more tacit. Even with just a few simple words, they could quickly understand each other's intentions. Everything was self-explanatory.

Zhou Yang was originally a little worried that something might go wrong this time, but it was obvious that with Mr. Gu around, he was always as steady as an old dog.

At this moment, Zhou Yang, who was watching a video while eating, suddenly stopped.

He looked at the contents on the screen in disbelief: "Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu!
“Watch this video…

“It seems that someone on the Internet has unpacked “Heartbeat Dreamland”!”

Gu Fan came over to take a look and saw the title of the video was: Big News! Things that only developers know! Unpacking "Heartbeat Dreamland"!
Just looking at the title of this video, there is nothing wrong. There are some UP hosts on the Internet who specialize in unpacking games. Which popular game has not been unpacked? It can even be said that if some games are not unpacked, players simply cannot understand its internal mechanism.

But looking at the content on the cover of this video, it’s a bit shocking.

"The true ending doesn't exist in the game code?"
