The affection curve is sothing Chen Ba ca up with after "Love Advisor Departnt" canceled the affection point system.
Simply put,
he didn't want to use specific values, like affection
10 points or -20 points, to reflect the affection status of a character. Instead, he used a value-free curve fluctuation graph.
This thing wasn't originally intended to be used by players; it wasn't designed for them.
But due to the chaotic ga logic, this affection curve sohow beca available for player use...
That's not the point!
The point is that not only is there a curve, but this curve also possesses certain "peculiar" traits, quite magical traits.
Chen Ba and Lu tested it many tis.
But unfortunately, no matter how they tested, they couldn't reproduce the situation Zhang Pengfei described in his post, where after eting certain affection conditions, interaction options like "holding hands," "confession," and "hugging" would appear.
"What's going on?"
Lu couldn't figure it out. He not only followed Ba's instructions but also went to the forum to carefully study Zhang Pengfei's post, confirming that the steps taken were correct.
But the test just couldn't proceed.
The affection curve would change, but not significantly, and it still wouldn't unlock more intimate interactions.
"Is it haunted?"
Chen Ba also found it incredible, but being more experienced, he knew more of the inside story than Lu. He proposed a hypothesis: was it necessary for there to be a man and a woman?
This referred not to the gender of the characters controlled by the players but to the gender of the players themselves?
What?
No way?!
Yes, way! Moreover, Chen Ba felt this possibility was quite high. After all, this mayhem was likely the work of the Iron Fool System, which couldn't distinguish between male and female?
"Change your real-na authentication."
Chen Ba instructed, "Use your girlfriend's information to authenticate the account, then try again."
"Alright, I'll go have a word with her."
Lu was getting along famously with Xianyu Digital's custor service Xin, and they were in a relationship. To get her to cooperate with the test, he just needed to inform her.
After changing the test participant, Chen Ba continued testing and found that this ti, the affection curve changed more noticeably, but still the old problem persisted, unable to unlock more intimate interactions.
"Still no good?"
Lu scratched his head, feeling that this was rather bizarre.
This situation implied either Zhang Pengfei, the player, was lying, and the situation he described didn't exist in the ga.
Or the test environnt was not right!
But they had perfectly recreated the conditions Zhang Pengfei described, even bringing in a female player who was "real-na authenticated" and truly existed, so why wasn't it working?
"Hey! I don't believe it..."
"Let
give it a shot! Is this ga picky? I can't trigger it even when I play with my real-life girlfriend?"
Lu was just joking and didn't think it was true. He couldn't figure it out, so he might as well test again!
But unexpectedly, when the test subject changed from Ba to him, the affection curve maxed out not long after the interactions began, without even deepening their relationship.
On the other side, the cooperative tester Xin also reported that a multitude of interaction options popped up on her end.
Lu's side did too.
Hugs, confessions, handholding, kissing... every intimate interaction that could be unlocked was instantly unlocked.
"Holy crap!"
Chen Ba and Lu were speechless together.
Was this ga really picky?
Chen Ba couldn't spot it while testing with Lu, nor with custor service Xin, but the mont Lu and Xin were together, they fast-forwarded straight to cuddling without even starting interactions?
What does it an?
A ga that can identify if the player in front of the screen is male or female, and even determine whether the players have affection for one another?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Lu thought it was a coincidence, or perhaps a logic bug, surely such an outrageous thing couldn't exist.
On the surface, Chen Ba agreed with his hypothesis, thinking such an outrageous thing couldn't exist. But deep down, he had a faint suspicion.
There is a possibility indeed!
Not as mystical, in theory, the AI could analyze gaplay behavior combined with gathered information to determine the player's real gender, and whether affection exists between them.
Is the ga AI really that smart?
Possibly not ordinary ga AI, nor those big enterprise language model AIs developed with huge investnts.
But if it's the Iron Fool System, it's hard to say...
That's where the problem lies.
The chance encounter of General Fei Peng and Lin was essentially two like-minded individuals coincidentally matched together, then getting acquainted and perhaps forming a bond or affection through small ga interactions.
Followed by naturally coming together.
"Just a coincidence!"
Chen Ba realized completely.
There is indeed an issue with the underlying code of "Love Advisor Departnt," allowing many components intended for NPCs to also apply to players.
The AI can also determine if players are of different sexes through in-ga behaviors and other information.
That's not all!
To replicate what Zhang Pengfei described in his post, another crucial and core prerequisite is required—matching the two most like-minded people correctly!
Just randomly matching a man and woman doesn't simply spark love like "General Fei Peng" and "Lin," leading them to feel affection and co together?
What a joke!
If it were that easy, there wouldn't be instances of people going on dozens of blind dates without success.
