Chapter 500: Staying True to the Setting
The rising and setting of the sun is a straight line, not only to conform to the real world, but also to save trouble, and sometimes because the sun is just a texture.

To be honest, there is no need to create a physical sun in the game. This is not an interstellar exploration game, and the sky may just be a texture.

Although some people have challenged the maximum height of "Godlock" and have not reached the limit so far, the vast majority of players firmly believe that the sky has boundaries and the sun must also be a texture.

Fatty thought so too, and his discovery of the secret of the sun was just a coincidence and luck. Initially, he just wanted to get the specific size of the "Godlock" game field. Someone said it was a square on the map, and he wanted to confirm it.

Finally he found that the map was indeed a square, although there was a deviation of tens of kilometers. But if you look at the entire map, it is like a one-meter cube with a deviation of a few millimeters.

After Fatty got the specific data, he planned to leave, and just leave the entire game. He was not a person who liked to play games, his hobby was to collect data and make some small toys, and finally watching the sunrise was his sudden whim.

It was during this sudden inspiration that he discovered a bug. The sun's trajectory had shifted, and this was not a small deviation of a few dozen kilometers from the center line, but a deviation of about one-sixth of the map width.

This is a problem that can be discovered almost by standing at the edge of the world and carefully appreciating the sunrise. The fat man immediately became interested, and while recording the video, he stared at the sun, thinking that if it rose at this angle, even a fool would feel that something was wrong with the position of the sun.

He discovered a big bug, but he was soon slapped in the face because he spent three days finding that the sun slowly returned to the center line during its rising process.

"Look at this."

The fat man took out a sheepskin map with a hand-drawn game map on it, and a red line was the trajectory of the sun passing over the map.

In Dali Feizhuan's eyes, this red line was like a puzzle where the creator deliberately cut out a lot of smoke bombs to prevent it from being too difficult.

This red line deflected 12 times, including the beginning and the end. If it wasn't a coincidence, then the twelve beasts that affected the sun's trajectory were all on the top map.

"By the way, has the official ever said the size of the sun?" asked Dali Feizhuan.

"The authorities haven't even revealed the size of the map." The fat man rolled his eyes. "But if you're looking for something where the sun's trajectory is deflected, then the sun shouldn't be too big. Isn't this world view geocentric?"

“Maybe it’s as big as a city.”

"Almost." Dali Feizhuan muttered, and then carefully downloaded the map from memory. The fat man looked a little funny and said that you can just take it away, anyway, it's just a virtual data.

"Although I don't play games, I have a rough idea of ​​what you want to do. It will definitely be a spectacular scene, so I have to remind you that things won't go so smoothly." The fat man poked the table with his thick fingers, "You'd better reconfirm the trajectory of the sun."

"…You mean, maybe someone has already got one or two of them?"

"Of course, you guys in the Fairy Kingdom can be bored and use divergent thinking to find Gaia's pelvis, so why can't others find the twelve beasts based on their understanding of the zodiac and the heavenly stems and earthly branches?"

Dali Feizhuan closed his eyes in discomfort. Fatty was right, and he hit the point he had been worried about. Godlock was so free that there was no such thing as something that could only be obtained by following the process. The real free exploration was that you could [SKIP] at will, and it was possible to obtain the final equipment at the beginning of the game.

For example, Fatty is the one who discovered the anomaly in the sun's trajectory. If Fatty was a particularly powerful player, he would have started to plan to obtain the Twelve Beasts long ago.

So it's not surprising if one or two players accidentally discovered the Twelve Beasts and started to conquer them. However, since the sun still rises as usual and passes through the sky honestly, there are two situations. Either no one has been conquered yet, or the sun will adapt itself and make one less turn if one of the Twelve Beasts is missing.

To confirm which situation it is, you have to verify it yourself.

"This looks like a big project." Dali Feizhuan tossed the parchment in his hand, then looked at the man in front of him who was really bored.

"Are you interested in doing me another favor? I'll give you a commemorative coin with Herbie and Blazer on the front and back."

"Hmm~ Do you think I'm some cheap labor?" The fat man raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and then immediately changed his expression, "If one side is printed with Blaze and the other side is printed with the bird next to Blaze, I'll accept it."

"You, are you such a heavy taste?!"

"What are you thinking about?" The fat man rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that this serious man in front of him also had some dirty thoughts in his mind.

"Don't you think that a human head on one side and an animal symbol on the other side makes it look like a legitimate currency? After all, don't just print character heads on some game items because you think they can sell better."

"Give me some respect. Do you think a businessman like Herbie Hermes would print his head on the currency?"

Obviously, he is a veteran game player, but he was scolded by someone who has only played for more than a month, and he couldn't refute it.

Dali Feizhuan didn't have much temper and just shook the parchment scroll in his hand.

"Then I'm going to commercialize this solar trajectory map. Do you mind?"

"If you can restore it one-to-one without any deviation in details, I don't mind." The fat man yawned and waved to Dali Feizhuan to send him off. "Go away, I want you to log off and rest. Really, you young people are still so energetic at this hell time."

"Then why did you specially prepare that kind of environment? How loyal are you to your own character setting?" Dali Feizhuan shrugged, operated the panel a few times and was about to leave as soon as possible.

But before leaving, he asked on a whim.

"What game is your son playing recently?"

"'ChiXDensha 25'."

"...Cough cough cough, can't he be allowed to play some healthier games without any illegal content? Making counterfeit money is fine, but he also plays cough cough cough." Dali Feizhuan coughed awkwardly.

"It's because he makes too clear a distinction between reality and virtuality, and vents all his desires in the virtual world."
