Ning Rongrong: Class of '99

【Qian Renxue: Level 99】

Lu Ma stared at the two glaring "Level 99" on the screen, feeling a little dazed.

"Wait... what's going on?"

He rubbed his eyes and leaned closer to the screen to take a closer look at the character selection interface.

Ning Rongrong: Class of '99

【Qian Renxue: Level 99】

The last time I played, Ning Rongrong was only level 76 and Qian Renxue was level 98. He only took a break for a while, which shouldn't have been more than 48 hours. How did both accounts reach the maximum level with a single click?

Lu Ma was very puzzled by this.

He tried restarting the game, but after restarting, he was still at level 99, with no change whatsoever.

He checked the save file, and it was all working normally, remaining at level 76.

He could easily load that save file for the sake of the game experience, but right now, he's more interested in knowing what went wrong during the time he was gone.

"Qian Renxue's... 98 to 99, is that barely plausible?"

Lu Ma frowned and tapped his fingers on the table.

When he is thinking, he sometimes unconsciously taps his fingers on the table like this.

"Maybe last time I was just one step away from reaching level 98, the ultimate level, and the game automatically leveled me up by giving me some experience. Hmm... it's not entirely unacceptable..."

Then his gaze shifted to Ning Rongrong.

"Hiss—but what's with jumping from level 76 to level 99 like that...? Is this really something that can be explained by auto-play?"

"Could it be that this game automatically installed a cheat and then started automatically?"

Lu Ma complained out loud.

This leap is simply outrageous, completely exceeding his understanding of game logic.

Logically speaking, upgrading should become more difficult as you progress.

But that's clearly not the case now.

"No, we have to take a look!"

Without hesitation, Lu Ma moved the mouse and decided to choose Ning Rongrong to play the game this time.

Instead of making wild guesses, it's better to just look at the boosting logs.

The time difference isn't that much now, unlike last time when I didn't play the game for several days in a row, so the log should still be there.

With the log in, he could easily find out what had happened.

As Lu Ma thought this, he clicked the mouse.

...A dozen seconds passed.

There was no movement.

Lu Ma wondered if he had forgotten to press the left mouse button, or if the mouse was malfunctioning, so he tried clicking the option again.

……

There was still no movement.

"Strange thing."

He muttered to himself.

The mouse works fine when clicking on other things, so it's not a problem with the mouse.

The game also did not show any "not responding" message.

So why is it that pressing this option doesn't work?

"Could it be a save file bug?"

As he spoke, he moved the mouse towards Qian Renxue.

Ning Rongrong's save file hasn't been logged into for a long time, so there are some bugs, but that's not unacceptable.

After all, who knows if this automatic boosting "emulator function" will develop any bugs over time.

I logged into Qian Renxue's save file not long ago, so I should be able to log in normally... right?

He thought for a moment, then clicked the mouse again.

And this time, there was still no response.

"Is the computer broken?"

Lu Ma frowned again. He closed the game, restarted it, and tried again, but still couldn't log in.

I then shut down and restarted the computer, and tried again, but still couldn't log in successfully.

Lu Ma tried several methods, going back and forth no less than ten times, and things finally changed a little.

After Lu Ma had tried logging in for what felt like the umpteenth time, perhaps the game itself had grown impatient, and finally—

[Character cannot be selected. Please contact the administrator for bug fix.]

[Game process encountered an issue, game will close shortly]

-

A pop-up window appeared.

Then, the game shut down.

……

Lu Ma felt as if countless alpacas were galloping through his mind at that moment.

He stood there stunned for a long time before letting out a silent sigh, picking up his phone, opening the Dolphin Head chat interface, and describing the bug that had appeared in the game to the other person.

In his eyes, this must be a bug in the game, and Dolphin Head should have a way to fix it.

A bug wasn't something that would make him angry at the other party.

Lu Ma still remembers that he was a game tester invited by the other party.

Experiencing bugs is an essential part of the process. In fact, if you can't find bugs, wouldn't that make you seem incredibly unprofessional?

After sending the message, Lu Ma leaned back in his chair, waiting for the other party's response.

In the past, Dolphin Head's feedback has always been quite timely.

In the past, whenever he reported a bug to the other party, the other party would reply very quickly, almost instantly. Even if they didn't solve it directly, they would at least reply with "received" to show that they had seen it.

This time, Lu Ma also felt that there would be no surprises, so he decided to wait.

If this bug can be avoided through certain actions, then he can still play the game today.

If he is told that this bug needs to be fixed separately, he can relax and play other games without worrying about this one.

As Lu Ma leaned back in his chair scrolling through short videos, time passed by, minute by minute.

However, Lu Ma waited for a long time, but still did not hear the phone notification sound he wanted to hear.

I picked up my phone and realized that a full ten minutes had passed, and the other end of the chat window was completely silent.

The chat software did not have a function to show whether the other party had read or not, so Lu Ma did not know whether the other party had seen the message but did not reply, or simply had not seen it at all.

"Strange."

He muttered to himself, a sense of unease creeping into his heart for no apparent reason.

I didn't see anything. Did something happen to that person?

If so, will he have any more money later?

If you saw it but didn't reply...

That's alright, maybe the other person was just too busy and forgot to reply.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Maybe the other person is sleeping. Okay... sigh..."

He shook his head, sighed helplessly, and then closed the chat window resignedly.

"It seems like today is a good day to rest. Let's wait another day."

He said to himself.

Chapter 221 Swap

About eight hours before Lu Ma's login account failed, on the other side.

Sima Xi's company, the work area of ​​the "Black Douluo" project team.

This project team was recently established. After Sima Xi dealt with the person in charge of "Black Douluo" and incorporated that game into his company, he mobilized some trustworthy people in the company to form this project team.

The project team's task was not difficult; in fact, many of the elite team members considered it a piece of cake.

They didn't need to devise future storylines or create new gameplay for the game they took over. Their main tasks were simply fixing bugs and analyzing code, which was quite straightforward. After all, bugs could be ignored unless triggered, and as far as they knew, the number of people playing the game was extremely small. As for the code, for a small company's game, the code shouldn't be too complex.

This idea has persisted to this day.

At first, everything went smoothly.

Although the code was slightly more complex than they had anticipated, thanks to their top-notch technical skills, the parsing progressed steadily, albeit slowly.

Unfortunately, some minor problems have arisen.

Senior members of the project team discovered that they had lost contact with Sima Xi, the person who initiated the project.

It's not that they can't find this person; in fact, finding Sima Xi is quite easy for them.

Because Sima Xi is right in front of them now, and has been working with them for two hours.

So this means that they couldn't find the previous Sima Xi.
