When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 463 Is this just the end of the matter?

Gu Fan checked the time: "Boss Li, it's time to get off work."

Lilith was very angry: "Call them here too! I'm not giving out so much money as a bonus just to keep a low profile!"

Gu Fan couldn't help but secretly complain, where the hell did you give the money?
If you follow your original approach, which game of Against the Heaven's Glory doesn't lose money? Where does the money come from to pay out bonuses?

I earned it with great difficulty.

However, Gu Fan certainly didn't dare to say so, so he could only agree: "Of course, who dares not obey President Li's order? I'll call him right away."

About a quarter of an hour later, Feng Hui came rushing over.

After all, everyone lives near the company, so they can arrive at the first time when an emergency occurs.

"Boss Li, you're looking for me?"

Feng Hui’s face clearly shows “no traitor”.

Lilith looked him up and down, feeling suspicious.

Looks like an honest and reliable programmer?
Compared with Gu Fan, who looks cunning at first glance, Feng Hui is a loyal and honest person, and the employees affectionately call him "Brother Dahui".

Since coming to Nitiantang, Feng Hui has been working diligently and reliably, so Lilith has basically never doubted him.

After Gu Fan was assigned to the entity department, Feng Hui could basically be regarded as the main programmer of the project, which also reflected Lilith's trust in him.

But I didn’t expect that the problem would still occur?
This made Lilith doubt.

I'd like to take this opportunity to take a closer look.

"Watch these two videos for yourself! Hurry up and come up with a relatively reasonable explanation, otherwise I will get mad!"

Lilith's face darkened as she handed over the laptop.

Feng Hui took it with great trepidation and quickly browsed through the two videos.

Now, the two biggest bugs of "Blood of Lies" have been exposed. One is the dynamic difficulty judgment bug caused by floating-point calculation problems, and the other is the bug caused by the cache of the Universal Editor that sticks the Liar Hunter's weapon in the official chapter and changes the GP judgment frame.

Lilith was very angry. Although she had roughly understood the principles of the two bugs at this time, she still wanted a more convincing explanation, or a clearer person to take the blame.

Even Lilith had already thought of her excuse in advance.

Although the principles of these two bugs are very clear, it is undoubtedly the programmer's negligence. Lilith has almost foreseen that Feng Hui will definitely make the same excuse as Gu Fan, for example, using the classic theory that "programmers are human beings, not gods" to excuse himself.

But Lilith would not give him this opportunity.

First, Lilith will hold down the sharp-tongued Gu Fan and prevent him from saying a word; secondly, Lilith will launch a comprehensive attack on Feng Hui regarding the details of the two bugs, leaving him speechless.

It seems that Gu Fan is an outlier among programmers. His sharp tongue seems to have caused a genetic mutation.

But Feng Hui is just a standard programmer. It’s impossible for him to have the same eloquence as Gu Fan, right?
If that happens, Lilith might start to doubt her life.

Come on, if I can’t beat Gu Fan, how can I beat you?
Lilith was fully prepared.

However, the next second, she saw Feng Hui bowing his head in sorrow and admitting his mistake: "I'm sorry, President Li, I was wrong! This is all my fault, I am willing to resign!"

Lilith was stunned: "Huh?"

Feng Hui continued, "The company has been very kind to me. President Li and President Gu are the best bosses I have ever seen. You have used so much money to give out bonuses, which is unheard of in other companies!
"But even though I tried very hard, I still couldn't meet the requirements of President Li and President Gu. Even though all the employees in the programming and testing groups tried their best and fixed thousands of bugs in each game, there was always a single mistake, which ultimately caused such a serious impact...

“I feel ashamed of the cultivation and trust of President Li and President Gu, and I feel ashamed of the bonus I received!
"If it were any other company, I would definitely work overtime to fix the bugs, but after the release of Against the Heaven game, it cannot be modified. I am powerless and have no choice but to resign. I hope to recover the losses as much as possible. I also hope that President Li and President Gu can find more suitable candidates..."

Lilith felt a little dizzy: "No, wait a moment..."

The current situation was obviously completely different from the script she had imagined, which made her unable to come to terms with it for a while.

But seeing Feng Hui's earnest words and serious expression, as if he was really going to submit his resignation procedures on the spot in the next second, Lilith couldn't hold it anymore.

do not!

If you leave, who will do the main program?
Of course, it is hard to find a three-legged frog in this world, but there are many people with two legs. Although there are not many programmers, there are definitely a lot of them. With the current bonus level of Against Heaven, as long as you post a recruitment information, you will definitely be overwhelmed by resumes in the next second.

But the problem is, if Feng Hui is unreliable, are people outside reliable?

Lilith doesn't understand programming, so if she hires a new programmer, doesn't she still have to rely on Gu Fan to interview him?
Feng Hui had been through thick and thin with Nitiantang after all, so he was somewhat reliable. If they were to recruit another main programmer now, he would definitely be here for the high bonus, and we couldn't be completely sure that he wouldn't do anything...

In addition, development efficiency must also be considered.

At present, Against the Heaven uses the latest official Universal Editor, and not many game companies outside use this editor. Feng Hui grew up with Against the Heaven, participated in the development process of most games, and is quite proficient in using the Universal Editor.

If he changes the main programmer, he will have to learn the details of the Universal Editor from scratch and adapt to the development model of the Against Heaven Program Group, which will undoubtedly seriously slow down the development progress of subsequent games.

What if this main programmer fails to play the role of overall coordination? Should he stay or change people?

On the surface, these problems can be solved with time, but in fact they require people to solve.

Teaching the new main programmer to adapt to the Vientiane Editor, judging his technical level, etc., these things ultimately still need to be done by people.

Who will do it?

Lilith definitely can’t do it on her own, so in the end she still has to hand it over to Gu Fan.

Will Gu Fan take this opportunity to gain more power?

"Damn it!"

Lilith felt overwhelmed. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this was an unsolvable dead end. If Feng Hui really quit, then Lilith would only have two choices:

The first option is to just hold on, pick a resume that looks good, and let this parachuted main programmer lead the development of subsequent games, but this situation is obviously very uncontrollable, and it may take several months or even a year or two, which Lilith absolutely cannot afford;
The second option is to let Gu Fan handle it. But this situation is obviously unbearable for Lilith. Although the result can definitely guarantee the progress of the project development, it seems that Gu Fan's power has increased further?
After a brief brain overload, Lilith said quickly: "Feng Hui, you are too polite. How could our company fire the main programmer because of a small bug? This is impossible no matter how you think about it! Don't you think so, Gu Fan?"

Gu Fan laughed in his heart, but still nodded: "Of course."

Lilith continued, "You see, Mr. Gu has created so many bugs, but I still let him take charge of the entity industry regardless of the past. This shows that we at Nitiantang are tolerant. One or two bugs occasionally are actually harmless. Programmers are also human beings and they make mistakes. I understand this."

Hope rekindled on Feng Hui's face: "Really, President Li? That's great. I said that President Li is magnanimous and considerate of employees!"

Lilith waved her hands a little embarrassedly: "Oh, oh, no need to praise me like that, I just did what a boss should do..."

Feng Hui nodded gratefully: "Okay, President Li, I'll leave first. I will put in 120% effort in the next game and try to eliminate all the bugs..."

"Hey, wait, wait!" Lilith felt like something was wrong. Why were they leaving so soon?
She hurriedly said, "But can you at least explain those two bugs to me?"

Feng Hui scratched his head and said, "Mr. Li, the video actually explains it very clearly. Okay, let me explain it to you in detail.

"But how to explain it? Let's start with the conversion between binary and decimal..."

In less than five minutes, Lilith fell asleep.

"Okay, okay, don't tell me these basic principles!

"Well, let me ask you one last question. Why did Blood of Lies add a new save check for memory overflow?"

Feng Hui looked bewildered, as if he had no idea why Lilith would ask this question. "Because this bug happened in Endless Fantasy Legend before! Weren't you very angry at that time, Mr. Li? You asked us not to have this kind of bug that blocks the Master Sword again, so we thought about it and fixed it in the subsequent games.

"Now, no matter how many times players load or save files, they can no longer transfer files to old files through card caching."

Lilith was so angry: "I know that! I want to ask, why do you know to add a judgment when creating a new save file, but don't know how to add a judgment when the player uses the meditation basin?"

Feng Hui looked embarrassed: "This... President Li, this is not the same bug as the last time...

“Maybe you want to ask, Ms. Li, why didn’t you fix the card overload bug?

"Well, this bug is very complicated to fix because it involves the underlying logic of the Universal Editor, and this mechanism is normal in 99.99% of the cases in the game. Given the limited performance of players' computers, it is difficult for us to find a solution that satisfies both parties..."

Lilith became even angrier: "Don't talk about other things! What I mean is, can't you just add a judgment to the basin of lies?"

Feng Hui once again showed an extremely self-blaming expression: "Boss Li, this is what I said at the beginning. I was negligent! I'm sorry! In order to take responsibility, I am willing to resign... I will go to the human resources and finance departments to handle the formalities now..."

Lilith almost jumped up: “No need!

"Okay, okay, I got it, go back and rest!"

Watching Feng Hui leave, Lilith always felt like something was wrong.

Did he explain the bug principle? He did, but his eloquence was not good enough, and he did not have Gu Fan's ability to explain things in a simple and profound way. Lilith almost fell asleep after listening for five minutes. It was like listening to a foreign language, so she had to ask him to stop.

Have you admitted your mistake?
He admitted it and his attitude was quite sincere, and he even wanted to resign directly.

But Lilith couldn't let him really resign. After all, the development of the game still depended on him...

So is this matter just over?
Lilith scratched her head, feeling a little confused for a moment.
