This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 244 - 168: Birth of the Empress

"Hello everyone, welcome to this week’s game news, I’m your favorite commentator!"

"Today’s program was originally intended by the director to make a video about GTA6 to ride the wave of this new game’s popularity."

"But just as we were recording, a piece of ridiculous news from the domestic gaming circle came out, so the director decided to tear up the already written script at the last minute..."

"Without further ado, let me take you all through this major gaming event that made the director exclaim ’goodness!’ and pull two all-nighters, unable to stop like binge-watching a series!"

"Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm! Just hearing the name, everyone might be curious about what kind of game this is?"

"Actually, the game content is very simple; it’s the marbles we all loved to play as kids. But the game has multiple modes added in, making it fancier than what we played as kids, like Marble Soul..."

"...The player Ba’s Little Coquettish Wife, although having no feats, was posthumously recognized as Emperor Shi, reigned only for one night, and lost the throne to an assassination the next day."

"Then there’s Yellow Ox Celestial Venerable, who is probably one of the few wise rulers in Marble Storm chronicles!"

"Yellow Ox Celestial Venerable, also known as Yellow Ox Grand Ancestor Emperor, his greatest achievement was that he gave out a hundred marbles to players across the server as a welfare on his first day of reign."

"This also formed a convention, where every new emperor would give rewards to all players to stabilize public sentiment..."

"But Yellow Ox Ancestor was quite unlucky, although ambitious, he was betrayed by trusted ones, and was ousted through a power grab. This incident was referred to by countless players as ’Playground Revolt’..."

"After the Playground Revolt, Yellow Ox Foreign Relative came to power, marking the start of the foreign relative era! This new emperor indulged in pleasures, especially obsessed with online dating, often flirting with female players, drawing public outrage."

"In the fifth year of the foreign relative’s reign, after five days of ruling, Yellow Ox Foreign Relative faced celestial punishment, being taken down offline by the game officials, leading to an uprising which ended the Yellow Ox Dynasty’s second ruler..."

"In just 14 days, this game has changed 7 rulers, the enthusiasm of players for rebellion and power struggles was a hundred times more exciting than TV dramas!"

"It’s said the director, risking being beaten to death by his wife, gritted his teeth and purchased a copy of Don’t Go Home: Marbles Storm, joining the fight for the throne."

"Of course, this game has no throne! That’s just a humorous saying; if you can’t be an emperor, you can only be a principal..."

"But come to think of it, being a principal is no different from being an emperor, after all, all the players are playing as students in this school."

"Okay, that’s all for this video; if you like it, please remember to three-click and follow, and I’ve already placed the game’s related links in the comments section, interested friends can buy and download it themselves."

The video ended.

Chen Ba scrolled down the browser page to the video comments section.

"So funny! Playing marbles turned into a Seven Kingdoms Conquest?"

"Rebellion, eh? Count me in!"

"Yellow Ox Ancestor is undoubtedly the greatest emperor through the ages, just for giving all server players a welfare, I’ll be a fan for life..."

"The Emperor of the Coquettish Wife was okay too, although he didn’t achieve much, he forged the Heirloom Marbles. Without Heirloom Marbles, where would Marble Continent come from, and how could everyone claim to be emperor?"

"Talking about it, how did Black Emperor lose his throne? It felt so strange!"

"Modify the game announcement, sarcastically saying Ba’s single without a girlfriend, if this was ancient times, it would definitely be a heavenly curse worthy of being struck by lightning!"

"Haha, I’m laughing to death in the comments, are all your Don’t Leave After School players so funny?"

Why does everyone have an emperor title?

After a brief glance at the comments section, Chen Ba seemed to have found the answer to a long-standing question.

Not long ago, after the Emperor of the Coquettish Wife was murdered and Yellow Ox Grand Ancestor Emperor ascended, Tianba Studio initiated a discussion. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The content of the discussion was simple.

It was whether or not to go offline for maintenance and completely eliminate the red patterned marble, which players jokingly called the "Heirloom Seal of the Realm."

Lu thought it could be observed a bit longer.

Although this marble represents game administrator privileges, these privileges being controlled by players could lead to extremely serious consequences...

But the fact is, Tianba Studio holds the final decision-making power, and this marble only appears on server number 3, so the impact is limited to this server only.

Of course!

The most important is that although Heirloom Marbles stand for significant privileges, players lack the corresponding operation backend, so the usable privileges aren’t as absurd.

For example, account ban requires using specialized backend tools, the player holding this marble theoretically has the authority to ban other people’s accounts, but they don’t have the corresponding backend tools.

Muting is possible!

In the chat channel, right-clicking a player allows muting operations, without needing specialized backend tools.

In short.

The administrator privileges represented by this marble can only really be used by players for ’exploiting’ Marble Soul, modifying game announcements, becoming the game principal, muting other players, and duplicating items.

Infinite Marbles?

In theory, yes, but in actual operation, due to the lack of corresponding backend and tools, they can only duplicate marbles in the backpack, limited to 100 marbles at a time.
