In the game "Cultivation Fantasy," "Heavenly Dao" is a very special concept.

The special part is that Heavenly Dao is both the core program of "Cultivation Fantasy" and a relatively independent program with its own task process...

This statement sounds a bit convoluted.

Viewing it as the input method of a computer/phone makes it much easier to understand.

The input method itself is software, but it can be activated in other software at will, to some extent covering all application scenarios.

Heavenly Dao is the same!

If the player doesn’t quit the game but leaves it running in the background and switches screens to do other things, during this time, Heavenly Dao covers other software like input method software, remaining active and awake.

If the core code was written by Chen Ba, even if it could cover other software, it probably wouldn’t be so absurd and twisted.

But the core code comes from the system...

This makes sense!

Chen Ba doesn’t know how the system generates the code, but its specific function has already manifested,

Repairing it is impossible.

Not to mention that Chen Ba didn’t have the ability to make major or magical changes to the code provided by the system. Even if he did, he wouldn’t act recklessly.

The reason is simple...

Although this bug has been caught, there still exist many unknown factors regarding the conditions to trigger this bug and its practical application scenarios.

For example, Chen Ba has not yet figured out whether there are other trigger conditions besides the ones already discovered?

"Most likely there are..."

Lu calmly said: "Taking the bug discoverer ’Qingbao is not a cat’ as an example, he achieved the same effect using different games."

This point proves that the coverage of "Cultivation Fantasy’s" Heavenly Dao is very broad, at least able to cover most games.

"Hunting Moment"?

This is not a necessary condition; even without this game, there are other games. Based on Lu’s test results, any game with online functionality can replace "Hunting Moment."

This even includes Tianba Studio’s own games such as "Star Emperor" and "Don’t Leave After School."

That’s right!

Lu conducted the same experiment using "Star Emperor," arriving at a not-so-absurd conclusion: the judgment mechanism of the Heavenly Dao program is broad.

As long as the Heavenly Dao program is running in the background, no matter what you’re playing or doing, you can’t escape the monitoring range of Heavenly Dao.

And that’s not all.

During testing, Lu also discovered a particularly interesting point.

There is a hidden precondition regarding the merit rewards issued by Heavenly Dao: your game behavior must meet the standard of Heavenly Dao’s "Accumulate Virtues."

What does this sentence mean?

It means that the Heavenly Dao program running in the background can not only read the current taskbar status of the player but also determine whether the player’s actions are positive and full of positive energy!

Wow, that’s amazing.

Achieving the former is not difficult; many software can do the same thing. But achieving the latter is really hard, especially in determining player behavior in different games, which is simply magical.

Concerning this point, Lu proposed to handle this game bug in a low-key manner, not to announce it or make any major changes, but to study it quietly for a while.

He thinks it’s very simple.

After all, from the second test to today’s public test of "Cultivation Fantasy," only two players have triggered this bug, few people know about it, and it hasn’t had a significant impact on the game.

As long as a gag order is issued to Guo Mo and Dr. Qin, prohibiting them from leaking information, this incident can be dispelled without a trace.

"It’s already too late..."

Chen Ba understood Lu’s thoughts because he initially thought the same.

Since this bug is hard to resolve, meanwhile having a high research value, it could be secretly hidden from the players, pretending nothing happened.

Maybe after some time of research, they could solve this seemingly paradoxical problem?

But shortly after having this thought, he discovered a third "merit anomaly" player in the game.

This isn’t the main point...

The important part is that this guy, like Dr. Qin, also caught the pattern of irregular merit reward issuance and even made a video to expose it.

By the time Chen Ba discovered it, the video had already been uploaded for nearly three hours, with almost 500,000 views!

How can you keep this a secret now?

Once the video is spread, the message loses its secrecy value. After all, too many people see the video, one tells ten, ten tell one hundred, and soon everyone will know the truth.

"Huh?"

Lu didn’t expect a player to discover the game bug and make a video public without a word.

He glanced at Tianba Community.

Indeed, the community players had already exploded at this time, almost all discussing the situation mentioned in the video.

"How ridiculous is this? If I go to play other games, can I accumulate merit?"

"All Arena players rejoice! I just tried it, and League of Legends can also trigger merit rewards, provided you play on foreign servers..."

"National service works too! You don’t necessarily have to play foreign servers, punishing disgusting players in the national service can also earn merit rewards, don’t believe it, see the picture ’Screenshot.JPG’"

"Everyone got one thing wrong, including the video producer, it’s not necessarily targeting foreign players to get merit rewards, it sometimes gives no reward..."
