Although Chen Ba vaguely guessed the reason why this trigram could predict card game luck, he still couldn’t figure out one question: how did the Divination System make a mistake?

It shouldn’t be!

The Divination System in "Mountain Village Memories" can only run within the game "Mountain Village Memories"; it’s useless if it runs in the background like "Cultivation Fantasy".

Since it’s not useful, how did this trigram come about?

Moreover...

Chen Ba didn’t forget that in the first half of the video, when Ice Cola was playing "Mountain Village Memories", the trigrams were already appearing inaccurately.

This baffled him.

The divination program he wrote for "Mountain Village Memories" ended up inaccurately predicting the fortunes and misfortunes in "Mountain Village Memories," yet it seemed to have a "mystical beauty" when predicting other games.

Ice Cola noticed this too.

In the video, he concludes: "I don’t know why, but the trigram obtained from divination in ’Mountain Village Memories’ has no relation to ’Mountain Village Memories.’

"But this trigram coincidentally gets validated in other games, which is really strange! If anyone doesn’t believe it, you can try it yourself..."

Try? How to try?

Upon hearing this, Chen Ba was speechless.

It’s good to find the problem, but you should at least tell everyone how the problem emerged! Just by watching the video, he couldn’t pinpoint where the issue was...

"Not right!" *2

Chen Ba and Lu exchanged a glance, both realizing something.

Lu acted quickly, grabbing the mouse and dragging the video’s progress bar backwards for replay.

Soon, he found the key point.

"Heavenly Dao Program?"

He paused the video at the moment Ice Cola whimsically suspended the "Cultivation Fantasy" Heavenly Dao Program in the background, and the trigram in the game consecutively showed two "Great Luck" signs.

"I’m not watching anymore; I’m going to try..."

Unable to stay seated, Chen Ba got up and went to another computer, entering the testing environment, suspending the Heavenly Dao Program of "Cultivation Fantasy" in the background, and then running "Mountain Village Memories."

Lu also leaned over.

This test wasn’t complicated, mainly because before this, no one thought of gaining merit from a single-player horror game, so no one suspended the Heavenly Dao Program.

Once suspended, the problem appeared.

"The Divination System in ’Mountain Village Memories’ bases its divination on the game data, which is why the trigrams are precise," explained Chen Ba.

Can the trigram be inaccurate?

This isn’t true mystical divination; it’s a result calculated from the game data files. In other words, the trigrams obtained by the player’s divination are the event with the highest occurrence probability after "scientific calculation."

"However, when the Heavenly Dao Program was suspended in the background, it caused an abnormal data exchange stream..."

Here, Chen Ba was stumped.

"Mountain Village Memories" is just a single-player horror game, and the Divination System is just a small program in this game, computing the game’s data and then giving players hints.

However, during this process, the Heavenly Dao monitoring program from "Cultivation Fantasy," due to its global monitoring nature, invaded the game, disrupting the original arrangement.

"It’s like a chef planning to make a dish of tomato scrambled eggs, ’Mountain Village Memories’ providing the tomatoes and eggs, just follow the ingredients to make the dish."

Lu mused, "But suddenly a guest arrives in the kitchen, bringing new ingredients—shrimp!"

"Exactly!"

Chen Ba nodded.

The problem is simple; what was supposed to be a dish of tomato scrambled eggs ended up inexplicably turning into shrimp scrambled eggs due to the extra shrimp.

Data got chaotic.

The Divination System isn’t mystical; it’s always been based on game data predictions. Since the trigram arises from data, if the data changes, the trigram naturally changes.

"Where did the data come from?"

This was Lu’s question; as tomato scrambled eggs turned into shrimp scrambled eggs, regardless of how the chef cooked, the key was where did the shrimp come from?

They couldn’t have just picked it up from the roadside, could they?

"Maybe it really was picked up... don’t forget Heavenly Dao Program’s feature is monitoring the whole environment!"

Chen Ba scratched his head and said, "The Heavenly Dao Program monitors the whole environment. As long as it’s suspended in the background, no game or software can escape its monitor."

Is picking up shrimp difficult?

The Heavenly Dao Program monitors the whole environment. Conveniently, the joyous card games and Star Rail games were present on Ice Cola’s computer, consequently causing data flow into the Divination System in "Mountain Village Memories" during monitoring.

"Calculated out?"

"Indeed calculated out, not always accurate, and even due to incomplete data, it might make some low-level mistakes."

Chen Ba explained, "But this calculated trigram, because of certain games’ win-rate balancing mechanism, guaranteed delivery mechanism, fixed probability, etc., appears exceptionally precise."

How to describe it...

Because the Heavenly Dao Program suspended in the background led to an abnormal data stream disruption bug in the Divination Program of "Mountain Village Memories."

Under the influence of this bug, the trigrams obtained turned into predictions related to the source game’s good or bad fortune.

If previously the Divination System had no relation to mysticism, perhaps now the Divination System truly turned mystical!

"Huh?"

Lu didn’t understand; why did it change from science to mysticism?

"Previously, it was accurate because ’Mountain Village Memories’ altered game content based on trigrams. But now, whether it’s accurate or not has nothing to do with the Divination System; it purely depends on other games’ cooperation." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

When Chen Ba spoke of this, internally, he was practically laughing.

This Divination System is strong!

Throw in any data, whatever the game, it can predict the good or bad fortune, and it’s extremely precise.

Why so accurate?

Could it really be mysticism’s blessing? Nonsense! It’s purely because current competitive games and online games somewhat carry "ELO" mechanisms.

Quite frankly, it balances win-rates; consecutive wins will be interrupted, consecutive losses will turn into consecutive wins...

For drawing cards or anything else, it comes with a "guaranteed" mechanism, so this can also be calculated; you can even predict when you’ll get a reward without looking at the trigram.

The only difference is that human brains aren’t as precise as computers.

After consecutive wins, you predict you’ll soon face consecutive losses and prepare psychologically. But you don’t know when the consecutive losses start; this game or the next?

While the Divination Program written by the Iron Fool System utilizes the monitoring data provided by the "Cultivation Fantasy" Heavenly Dao, achieving "nine out of ten trigrams accurate."

Predict you’ll lose consecutively, and you’ll lose; predict you’ll get a reward, and you’ll get it!

Of course!

This thing carries some mystical traits, so the prediction result isn’t 100% accurate. It can be said, the accuracy rate can reach over 90% for sure.

This is already terrifying...

Take League of Legends as an example; before the ranked match starts, the program can predict the outcome of your game’s victory or defeat. Isn’t this frightening?

Even if in this game, you turn the tide of combat, put in every effort to lead the four poor teammates to victory, proving the trigram might be wrong, "I decide my fate, not the heavens!"

OK!

What about the next game?

As long as the ELO mechanism remains, as long as you can’t turn the tide every game, the Divination System of "Mountain Village Memories" can achieve over 90% accuracy.

Drawing cards, opening boxes, raffles go without saying.

Except for a small handful of those lucky "data" errors, achieving "nine out of ten trigrams accurate," predicting your reward shouldn’t be difficult.

After all, the algorithms and probabilities of raffles, card drawings, and opening boxes are potent, but can they surpass the code written by the Iron Fool System?

As long as probability is played, you can try divining yourself a trigram in the game "Mountain Village Memories," not daring to guarantee absolute accuracy, at least making you feel confident.

"Done!"

Lu grinned and said, "Following your reasoning, who needs to play ’Good Luck’ for raffles anymore? For real mystical work, still go to ’Mountain Village Memories’!"

That’s indeed the case.

Under the influence of "Mountain Village Memories," some games might modify the ELO mechanism, preventing the Divination System from predicting the game’s victory or defeat.

But with raffles, opening boxes, drawing cards... playing a "Good Luck" song is truly less effective than divining a trigram, getting a heads-up on the result!
