The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 38 The Cost of Rushing

Xu Meng couldn't figure it out, so he took the information and ran to the programming department to discuss it with Peng Linmu.

But Peng Linmu was also confused.

Even more troublesome is:
Before they could figure out the reason for this bug, Song Zhicheng came over with other bugs, his face full of anxiety.

Xu Meng took the tablet from him and checked it with Peng Linmu.

Soon, both of them frowned.

This bug is not as obvious as the previous ones, so its impact on the Internet is not great for the time being.

But these bugs are related to the game's combat system, and handling them is no easier than the previous ones.

The first bug is the loss of damage from Tongque’s ultimate move.

Bronze Sparrow's ultimate move looks very gorgeous, it involves transformation, changing clothes, and adding special effects to guns and bullets. It looks quite complicated.

But aside from the animation effects, the actual effect is not complicated:
Greatly increases the character's defense and health, and adds a fire enchantment to the bullets, so that each bullet adds an additional fire damage when causing physical damage.

Every 8 times of fire damage caused to the enemy, the Burning abnormal effect will be triggered, adding a layer of vulnerability to the enemy, up to 3 layers can be stacked.

But now, some tough guy from nowhere tested this ultimate move and found that Bronze Sparrow's fire enchantment caused damage loss.

As for how he discovered it...

This guy recorded the entire process of Bronze Sparrow's shooting during his ultimate move, then imported the video into editing software to slow down the process and checked every bullet fired from the gun.

——Every shot!
Then he discovered that some of the bullets did not have any flame effects when they were fired.

To be more specific, out of the 15 bullets fired during the 120-second period of the ultimate move, 6 of them have no fire effects.

Comparing the damage of 6 bullets in slow motion, it is indeed lower than the others.

So he determined that not only the animation effect was lost, but the entire fire enchantment was lost.
-
The second bug is Harmony’s wind wall skill.

According to the skill description, this wall shaped by wind can block the enemy's ranged attacks.

It sounds like "block all attacks", right?

But in reality, this wind wall can only block physical projectiles - such as bullets, stones, mucus, armor, explosives and the like.

However, there are many types of monsters in "Frost and Snow Project", and some monsters use sound waves and lasers to attack.

In the face of this kind of attack without any physical projectiles, the wind wall became a complete decoration.

The character hiding behind the wind wall was still beaten up!
-
As for the last bug - Xiao Ningxi's candy bullets will restore health to biological monsters...

Xu Meng laughed when she saw it.

Because this is not actually a bug, but an easter egg.

A character trait that was intentionally added to enhance Ning Xi's memory points.

Song Zhicheng didn't know this. Seeing that his boss could still smile, he became even more anxious: "Boss! Now is not the time to relax!"

"Yeah, I know." Xu Meng nodded with a smile.

"No, you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet!" Song Zhicheng was a little anxious.

Xu Meng didn't quite understand his anxiety, but she put away her smile and asked seriously, "What's wrong?"

Song Zhicheng looked very stressed: "We are now standing at the center of the storm, and many people are watching us. If we don't solve these problems quickly, public opinion may soon turn against us."

Xu Meng nodded.

He also had psychological expectations for this situation.

Internet traffic has played a huge role in helping "Frost and Snow Project" achieve such amazing results.

But traffic is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can be extremely powerful, but if used poorly, it can hurt yourself.

Considering the scale of the characters in "Frost and Snow Project", the controversy is bound to be huge.

In such disputes that do not involve legal issues, the final outcome is often not determined by who is right or wrong, but by which side has the louder voice.

Song Zhicheng is so anxious now, there is probably only one reason -

"Is there a lot of negative news about Project Frost and Snow on the Internet right now?"

Xu Meng's question finally touched Song Zhicheng's heart, and a long string of words came out of his mouth immediately:

"a lot of!"

"Many live broadcast rooms that broadcast our game have been blocked. It has become a hot topic now." "Because the ban was caused by the large scale of "Frost Project", netizens said that this is a "snow disaster" in the live broadcast industry."

"In addition, many extreme female boxing bloggers on Weiguang and Red Book are leading the trend, inciting many people to report on various platforms while giving our game low scores."

"Affected by this, our ratings on many channels have dropped to 3 points, and are still falling."

"In addition, a small number of users who once owned male characters asked us for a refund on the grounds that we had 'changed the goods that had already been sold without permission.'"

"In addition, I also found that there are a large number of online trolls, telling us everywhere that [poor skills lead to a lot of bugs in the game], [low moral quality and a rogue company], [except for soft porn games, it's boring to death], [it's better to go get a foot massage in real life than to waste money on buying paper figures]..."

Seeing that Song Zhicheng was about to repeat all the trash talk from the Internet trolls, Xu Meng quickly raised her hand to stop him: "That's enough, that's enough."

"I know you're in a hurry, but let's put the water army issue aside for now."

"No matter what we do, they have to get paid to do it."

"We should focus on the needs of players first. Players are our bread and butter, and serving them well is the most important thing."

“What is the biggest demand of players right now?”

"Um...this..." Song Zhicheng suddenly became hesitant, as if Xu Meng had asked some very important question.

"?" A question mark slowly appeared in Xu Meng's head.

Is this question difficult?
Song Zhicheng took the tablet, operated it with gritted teeth, and handed it to Xu Meng.

Seeing his action, Peng Linmu also came over curiously and looked at the screen.

I saw a post on Mengjin.

[Strongly protest that only Tongque has a nude model, and strongly request that all characters be added with it!]
Post body:

"If it's too troublesome to do all of them, at least make one for little Ning Xi!

Please, this is the request of my life!"
-
“???” Xu Meng had more question marks in his head.

"Cough cough cough!" Peng Linmu coughed and looked away awkwardly.

What’s outrageous is that this post has received over 18 likes!
The responses from the players in the front row were all about wishing to make nude models of other characters, and the number of likes was not low - generally between 6 and 15.

Mengjin does not have any fake popularity, and players cannot like it repeatedly.

So... these are the true voices of the players!
but……

"Are there so many lolicon fans in the second dimension?"

"Still a perverted lolita."

Song Zhicheng didn't know how to answer his boss' question, so he simply skipped it:
"Not only that, this post has received a lot of attention on Weiguang and P station, and it is quite popular!"

"Nervous!" Xu Meng was speechless.

Tongque is a special case and was created to become a benchmark character.

In order to achieve perfection, the modeling and animation teams squeezed out time within the tight schedule and did a lot of redundant work - separate body modeling, separate clothing modeling, battle-damaged modeling, and normal modeling were all done.

Some of these jobs are not for current work, but for technological exploration.

After fully digesting the entire process, the [Intelligent Collaborative Development Tool] has indeed greatly improved the efficiency of modeling and rendering other characters later.

But the technical exploration has been completed, and the intelligent collaboration tool has already lit up this technology point, so it is impossible to equip other characters with a set.

After all, this can't be sold.

——It is illegal if you dare to sell it!

Xu Meng shook her head, "Besides this?"

After saying that, he was worried that Song Zhicheng would come up with something outrageous again, so he added, "Something normal!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Song Zhicheng reached out and touched the tablet in Xu Meng's hand.

The screen then switched to a note page with two concise and clear requirements:
【Game BUG Fix】

as well as--

【Live broadcast harmony function】
