Chapter 162: Chapter 127: Am I Playing a Pirated Version?
Since that egg-filled pancake incident, the ga seed to have beco a bit unruly.
Zhang Pengfei worked during the day, and after work, he would turn on the computer and enter the ga "Love Advisor Departnt" to consult with the strategist Lin.
That’s right!
A proper love consultation.
Neither of them ntioned the pancake incident, as if it never happened, and just continued playing the ga.
He wanted to court Lili, so Lin offered him advice. As for the other strategist, "Don’t Eat Tomatoes," she felt she wasn’t capable enough and voluntarily resigned, choosing to retire back ho.
Watching movies, trying food, visiting zoos, riding roller coasters...
In order to better court Lili, Zhang Pengfei decided to ask Lin for advice on what dating activities would be suitable.
But Lin didn’t know either.
So they had to try everything, then have Lin stand from a girl’s perspective and analyze which thod was better based on her experiences.
There’s logic behind this.
Although he couldn’t see the exact favorability score, Lin was playing a female character, so there were interaction options popping up just the sa.
According to Lin, every ti they interacted, options would show up on her side.
For example, after riding a roller coaster together, it might unlock responses like "That was fun" or "Let’s not co here next ti."
Based on the different responses and interactions, they could analyze what Lili... uh, seems like these are Lin’s preferences, not Lili’s?
Forget it, whatever!
Zhang Pengfei didn’t know what this was about, but he found that talking with Lin made him happy, even a bit nervous at tis.
One thing he hadn’t told Lin.
That was he discovered the favorability system, intended for NPCs, seemingly worked on Lin too.
As their relationship ward, he even unlocked so hidden interaction options like "confess" and "hold hands" in the ga!
A nerve-racking kiss...
When those options popped up, he admitted he was flustered.
What the heck?
Lin wasn’t supposed to be a player; how could NPC interaction options appear for a player character?
"This ga is seriously addictive!"
Zhang Pengfei thought his fate might’ve turned when he whimsically bought an egg pancake in the ga and discovered he could gift it to other players.
That gift stirred things up.
In the beginning, he aid to court Lili, but Lin was supposed to help him with love strategies.
Now it’s like...
Lili? What Lili?
Doesn’t matter! He had even forgotten what Lili looked like; his mind was filled with thoughts of Lin’s voice and what she had said.
In truth, after talking for so long, he had learned Lin’s real na and a bit about her family situation.
But he had never thought of anything else.
Until one day, Lin suddenly told him that she was going to be busy in a couple of days and might not have ti to play, so she asked if they could add each other on WeChat.
That’s when he realized.
Oh, my god! Is this an online romance?
But that’s not right! He just wanted a virtual girlfriend, how did things end up developing into an online relationship?
Though a bit surprised, for so reason, he added Lin on WeChat, turning from ga friends to WeChat friends.
Of course!
Play is play, he wasn’t sure what kind of relationship he and Lin had.
At any rate, they continued playing gas together, and off the ga, they’d occasionally share life tidbits on WeChat...
Until one day, Zhang Pengfei jokingly told Lin about his "major discovery," that is, players can confess love to another player.
"How about trying?"
"Sure!"
"But..."
Zhang Pengfei hesitated, because in the ga "Love Advisor Departnt," if the favorability wasn’t high enough, an NPC would reject the confession.
So here’s the question!
If confessing to a player, what would be the result?
"It should be the sa as other interactions, with
deciding whether to accept or not..."
"Would you accept?"
Zhang Pengfei’s heart raced and his breath quickened.
Even though it was just a confession in the ga, not to be taken seriously, he didn’t know why, but he was so nervous now, his right hand holding the mouse was sweaty.
"Guess!"

Tianba Official Website, Player Community.
days since the release of the early access version of "Love Advisor Departnt," Chen Ba had just finished discussing the formal release date with Dong, and now at loose ends, he planned to wander around the community.
This was part of his daily routine.
Listening to genuine feedback and feelings from players, making suitable adjustnts and changes—this was serious work.
For instance, recently, "Star Emperor" had updated a new character—Emperor of Winter.
Once the new character was out, everyone scrambled to play, and the selection rate in ranked matches skyrocketed to over 70%, incredibly popular.
But after playing, people felt this character was a bit weak, not as strong as earlier characters, with win rates even lower than the long-standing underdog Emperor of the Long Night.
Whoa, what a lousy character!
The Emperor of the Long Night has low win rates because he’s a Glass Cannon, high ceiling with low floor, attracting players who are both unskilled but enthusiastic, so the overall win rate can’t rise.
But this new character, whose overall win rate is even lower than Emperor of the Long Night—isn’t that absurd?
Tianba Studio was poised to urgently enhance it, but then a player posted on the forum saying: Emperor of Winter isn’t weak, it’s just that you all don’t know how to play him!
