Chapter 434: Chapter 270: Now You Need a Car and a House for Online Dating!

Chen Ba: "..."

Uh oh, he totally forgot about this part!

Iron Fool System’s code, what he sees and what others see are not the same, Chen Ba knew this very well from early on.

This is also why many hackers are obsessed with cracking games from Tianba Studio, attempting to decode the key codes within, yet repeatedly coming up empty-handed.

As the host, Chen Ba can see the actual source code, but others cannot!

No matter how others try to manipulate, they can only see the "disguised" code, and honestly speaking, understanding them is quite impressive; at least the technique is certainly up to standard.

The driver program the engineer sees and the one in Chen Ba’s view are two completely different things!

He must have been deceived by the "disguised" code, or maybe he believes it, thinking these codes are meant to optimize hardware compatibility for the game "Star Emperor 2". 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

That’s not important!

After figuring this out, Chen Ba nodded and said, "So, do you think this dedicated ’Star Emperor 2’ motion-sensing hardware should have this version’s driver installed?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

If there’s a better choice, why not use it, thought the engineer in his most straightforward manner.

He couldn’t understand why President Chen hesitated? Wasn’t it obvious the driver version he provided was more advanced and useful than the one developed by Mirage Electronics?

"You don’t get it, this..."

"Never mind!"

Chen Ba originally wanted to say, the driver program was made by an rather "unreliable" programmer, whose game code had a bunch of bugs; who’d know if the driver also had bugs?

But after thinking it over, it’s best to keep family scandals under wraps; the system’s tendency to act up is a family scandal after all, the fewer people who know, the better.

Let the engineer think whatever he wants!

Anyway, he didn’t explain further; the driver program was left for Mirage Electronics for testing and research, ready for pre-installation when "Star Emperor 2" is released with accompanying peripherals.

Chen Ba doesn’t understand hardware!

He figured that even if the driver program has issues, he would likely not be able to spot them himself.

Since the expert, Mirage Electronics’ engineer, says there’s no problem, he decided to trust him for now, and if any issues arise later, he could always pass the buck to him.

...

The Tianba Community is bustling.

Recently, news about the risks of unfinished development in "Tianba Manor" property project in a certain city, causing many "Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator" players to suffer, sparked heated discussions among community players.

Shortly thereafter, Ba made his move!

Chen Ba transformed into the beacon of justice, deciding to seek justice for the players, preventing "Tianba Manor" from being abandoned, running around tirelessly for a long time.

Now, the outcome is here!

After much effort, the real estate company responsible for the project finally conceded, promising to top off and deliver the houses within six months, and to pay each owner the rightful delay compensation as per the contract.

Players are at ease now!

Although they have no idea how Ba solved the issue, it doesn’t stop everyone from praising him on the forum, saying this time he truly stepped up.

Actually, it’s not as complicated as everyone imagined!

Chen Ba often attends various events, and has, to some extent, made acquaintance with social celebrities, influential figures across Jiangning and nearby provincial and city districts.

Through these connections, he inquired about contact information of some key figures, reached out for negotiation, discussing a satisfactory solution for all parties; it wasn’t anything too difficult indeed.

Simply put!

During the resolution process, Chen Ba lost virtually nothing except for some verbal persuasion. Everyone was more than willing to give him face, even the real estate firm didn’t want to confront him stubbornly.

No point in being stubborn!

The real estate company bullies ordinary owners, regular folks just about enough. But bullying someone like Chen Ba, a member of Forbes rich list and chairman of Jiangning’s top private taxpayer, they’d rather not.

Understanding circumstances matters, right?

For ordinary owners, the real estate company acts superior, ignoring their protests and complaints. But for someone of Chen Ba’s caliber as an owner, they’d rather not cause trouble, and prefer straightforward, honest communication.

No choice, that’s reality!

If Chen Ba was unwilling to step up, "Tianba Manor" would likely have been abandoned, but with his involvement, they just have to see it through to house delivery.

Don’t ask why; if you must know, Chen Ba is like a guard dog, known to turn on you without warning if provoked unnecessarily!

After all, it’s just a building!

This real estate company is developing over ten properties simultaneously, sacrificing one allows them to avoid the attention of a troublesome figure like Chen Ba, which is quite understandable.

Chen Ba did something he wasn’t obligated to, which carried no benefit to him or Tianba Studio.

Therefore, he earned high praise from the players, and as you open the community, it’s flooded with posts praising Ba as "righteous".

Chen Ba’s public opinion is steadily rising!

Moreover, the second hottest topic in Tianba Community discussions is the recent major update "Love Advisor Department" launched.

Initially intended to present itself as a "romance nurturing" game among players, yet faced betrayal and alienation, Tianba Studio simply dropped the pretense and laid all cards on the table with the players!

"Love Advisor Department" is just a marriage and dating software, take it or leave it!

The new version’s major update completely stripped away the previous "romantic game" disguise of "Love Advisor Department", reintroducing itself as a "marriage and dating platform".

Players are utterly baffled.

Though everyone indeed uses this game as a marriage and dating software, to be frank, it used to at least put on a show, you’d still have the excuse of "playing a game" when asked.

Not anymore, the act is over.

All players still engaged in "Love Advisor Department" have their intentions exposed; you’re simply looking for love interests, wanting to make friends, so stop using "playing a game" as a cover!

The shift from a romantic simulation game to a marriage and dating platform seems huge, yet for "Love Advisor Department", it’s merely a change of label.

The tangible changes felt by the players aren’t significant, really...

The game is now more genuine!

"Love Advisor Department" long implemented in-game real-name registration, deterring minors from playing the game.

But after this version’s update, the real-name registration constraints within the game became more stringent, even allowing players to register their "face", "property", "vehicle" and "job" details within the game.

Uh oh!

Online dating now requires "having a car and a house"!

That’s not a joke, it’s a real situation faced by many players after the version update.

Previously, without such information, upon matching with a compatible love advisor, players could have a casual chat to see if they clicked.

Generally speaking, if compatible, contact information would be exchanged for further understanding.

The crucial failure often occurred at this step!

No matter how well the chat went, once stepping outside the game to reality, discussions between men and women seldom strayed from material foundations.

Especially in today’s reality, where romance means nothing compared to cars and property for relationships, it’s all the more apparent.

Thus, this version update practically eased everyone’s burdens and pressures, sparing the emotional waste from fruitless conversations due to various reasons.

Now, simply check the other’s profile, if deemed suitable, engage in conversations; if not, match with a new advisor promptly, saving time for both.

The only drawback might be...

Previously in "Love Advisor Department", players were "equal"; only after gradually understanding and advancing outside the game did the disparities emerge.

But now, within the game itself, divisions of status are apparent, which is undoubtedly uncomfortable for players with less favorable conditions.

Nonetheless, the discomfort fades quickly.

After all, the game is a reflection of reality, if you can’t accept this, how do you plan to cope in the real world, suicide and restart?

Moreover...

"Love Advisor Department" boasts the most impressive matchmaking system, having long considered these matters, so lesser conditions don’t necessarily mean missing out on a "good match".

Good conditions aren’t entirely beneficial either, as the "love advisor" the system matches you with might have ulterior motives...
