Chapter 114: The Immortal in Liao Zhai

Gu Meng is going to wear a helmet to play this time.

First, use administrator privileges to modify the save file of the invulnerable Soldier King God of War, changing the protagonist's identity to a fully buffed character with heart disease, hypertension, schizophrenia, depression, and mania...

Then go find Dan Yangzi's copy...

It's fake, it's all fake. You are all the three corpses of the Taoist priest. If I kill you all, the Taoist priest can become an immortal. Become an immortal, hahahaha!
……

Guangzhi and Guangmao waited patiently, luckily Gu Meng was quick.

It was over soon and I exited the game.

He only had a brief taste of the game. With Gu Meng's familiarity with the game and his status as a gaming expert, he was able to draw inferences from one instance and fully understand it as soon as it was triggered.

No one knows the game better than him!
In fact, regarding the game "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", You Xuan himself has plans to update the copies and even add new ghost kings besides Dayi Ge.

For example, add some famous supernatural stories in reality, ghost and fox love, hot topics and strange people, and strange rules...

Even a Japanese copy was opened, and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and Urban Tales were added in, and the classic Japanese IPs were sewn into it, creating an epic enhanced version of Ghost Line Tokyo.

In the future, vampires, werewolves and so on will also appear. I feel that Underworld and female ghosts and fox spirits have something in common.

Pu Songling: "What are you looking at? You are also from Liaozhai!"

Or you could let Gu Meng, who plays the role of the owner of the apartment in the game, and Da Ri Ge die together, and after the ending of sealing the Ghost King, he will become the new Ghost King.

However, the focus of Xiaozhi's update this time is not here. There are not many new copies. The focus is on the bugs created by Han Li, regularizing them, and trying to optimize the experience of some crazy immortal players.

Gu Meng was silent for a moment, wondering if he had gone a little off track... but he also seemed to understand that this function was quite interesting.

Who doesn’t want to become a god?

That's right, the bug that appeared in Liao Zhai this time can be said to be the most justified one for Gu Meng. No matter from which aspect it is defined, it should not be considered a bug.

When this hidden mechanism appeared, Gu Meng felt a chill in his heart, as if the boot had dropped.

I also thought that new devices and new games would always have some bugs, but after looking into it in detail, I found that this was not the case at all.

Its triggering condition is when a device judges that the player's mental state is generally normal through his brain waves, but the player has selected multiple complex physiological and psychological diseases in the buff options.

In theory, such players should not play games at all and should have committed suicide long ago. They are considered the most serious patients in mental hospitals.

At this time, the player is actually in an abnormal state, and everything he sees is false.

Continue to advance all the way to become a senior investigator, go to the Qingfeng Temple, a copy of the dream bubble, with the help of eyes that are originally false, you can see the truth in the edge areas, but have the opportunity to obtain extraordinary power and train yourself into a monster, and at the same time, a Taoist immortal in your own eyes.

Although there is no direct san value in the game, there is actually a similar setting.

In high-level dungeons like this, a true judgment that ignores the protection of the seal can directly wipe out the player's sanity and end the game. Only this special type of player is qualified, because even if their minds are distorted and turned into monsters under special circumstances, they can continue the game because of the protection.

However, if there really is a mental problem, one should not continue in that kind of environmental suggestion and will not be able to see the truth. It is said that normal players, regardless of whether they are sick or not, cannot play this content.

This is equivalent to other games where a player opens the console and passes through the wall, and then sees content that is not available in the normal game process. He obtains equipment that has been made but cannot be obtained through normal channels and is full of bugs. It can only be considered an easter egg at most.

This kind of thing actually happens in many games. There are some contents in the game that are only available to NPCs. They are for players to see, not for players to use. There are also many scenes in Black Myth: Wukong that can only be seen through walls, and some skills that can be seen by unpacking but cannot actually be played.

In Liao Zhai, the experience of becoming a monster is not included in the normal content.

Just like if the player gets the item by using the console or modifying the content, then if a bug occurs, it is impossible to blame the producer. If there is no bug in that situation, it can only be said that it is the player's own problem.

Gu Meng thought for a moment and said to Xiaozhi, "Will there be any danger in perfecting this 'becoming immortal' content? This device allows players to possess extraordinary powers, but the actual experience will be very bad. Because players are in the shallow dream state of the initial infiltration, they may be bound by reality and subconsciously unable to imagine the extent of their extraordinary powers. It may also cause some adverse reactions."

Xiaozhi actually didn't understand much about the equipment, at least not as much as Gu Meng did, so he immediately asked, "So what should we do?"

Gu Meng pondered for a while, and based on the information observed by the Forensic Eye, Xiaozhi was still very powerful. With the help of a bug, he perfected a lot of realistic-looking Feathered Immortal content.

Synchronize the player's perspective into a strange, feeling somewhere between VR and stealth equipment.

Also, because the player himself is in a state of mental illness and is infected by an abnormality, he re-immerses himself in the broken experience. The gaming experience and structure are very exquisite, and the performance limit of the first generation of Youxuan is used to the fullest, trying to get close to a state similar to that of a transcendent.

It's truly remarkable that new technology has achieved this level of success in less than a year. It's actually quite safe, as the game's underlying logic is built with player protection in mind as its primary commandment. Regardless, there's a system to back it up.

Gu Meng's instructions will protect players even if a hard bug such as forced game exit occurs.

"Let's reduce the time. Uncontrolled madness will lead players to uncontrollable areas."

Xiaozhi nodded and decided to make some changes to this new version.

If someone else in the company had told him this question, he might have been skeptical, but since it was Gu Meng, he would have obeyed unconditionally.

"Besides time, we need to add some deadlines for the protagonist. Just because the protagonist is no longer human and the visuals have been distorted and transformed into something beautiful, we can't let him eat people at will in the first, relatively superficial level of the game."

Gu Meng opened his forensic eyes and reminded:
"We're making a horror game, and we do have a lot of freedom, but there still has to be a bottom line."

"Ah, I thought?" Xiaozhi recalled that there was also an evil line in the game that Gu Meng had made before, and the protagonist could be extremely inhumane and kill all his relatives and friends to practice evil skills.

At that time, Gu Meng also used the example of Frostpunk 3 in the parallel world, saying that even if the game allows the villains to do things that cross the line in order to survive, it is not possible to directly criticize the players who have given everything for survival in the moral dilemma. The attitude can be expressed indirectly by using the protagonist's own bad ending.

"It's different. The protagonist's first-person perspective of a shark practicing magic is very different from a straightforward skinning and cannibalism. Also, the nature of the protagonist's own actions in the stealth game is different. Just maintain until the sharking stage. Currently, the buffer between leaving the game and returning to reality is mostly focused on getting rid of fear, providing players with courage and positive cues to offset it, and reducing the impact of doing bad things. New adjustments are still needed."

Xiaozhi understood. Although most players would not change their real-life behavior based on what happened in the game, Mr. Gu was afraid that the game would add fuel to the fire, so he was more cautious.

"The rest of it is good. Honestly, better than I imagined. Your potential in game design is unquestionable. Even if I were to handle it, I wouldn't be able to do a better job than you."

The premise is that Gu Meng does not use the system.

"Master, that's not the case."

Xiaozhi thought Gu Meng was joking with him at first, but when he realized that he was speaking seriously, he became flustered.

From his perspective, Gu Meng's wisdom was astonishing, and his skills in game design were almost flawless and inhuman, and he could never compare to him.

Is it possible that I have such a strong filter in my master's mind?
……

Finally, Gu Meng said to Xiaozhi seriously: "Come on, Xiaozhi, the future of the company belongs to you!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiaozhi agreed, then said embarrassedly: "There is only one sun in the company, and that is you!"

Gu Meng smiled and said, "The sun will set too."

Although he was not much older than Xiaozhi, Gu Meng always felt that one day he might be killed by a dump truck again.

“Even if the sun sets temporarily, it will rise again.”

"That's the new sun!"

Zhongzhi was speechless for a moment.

An Yuemai, who had been silent until then, suddenly interrupted: "The moon."

?

"I am Master's moon."

She repeated this.

Hearing this, Gu Meng's mouth corners twisted unconsciously.

After traveling for so long, I felt that I had accomplished a lot and had so many followers. I smiled and said, "Then I must burn even harder to make my moon shine even brighter."

……

 I'm back to my hometown. I'm taking care of the kids today, going on a blind date tomorrow morning, and visiting relatives in the afternoon.
