Chapter 242: Chapter 167: Are Kings and Nobles Born Different?

"... Up until now, a total of about 27 million marbles have been generated in the ga!"

"In the classic mode, marbles are just marbles, a plain and simple ga item with no special features."

"But in the ’Marble Soul’ mode, since the winner can devour the losing player’s Marble Soul to enhance their own power, this is where the problem arises..."

At this point, Chen Ba wrote down the keywords "Devour" and "Marble Soul" on the whiteboard.

This is the origin of everything.

The Marble Soul attaches to a marble but exists only in the special mode. It is cleared and reset upon leaving the mode, acting as a feature component with limitations.

Within this feature component, the core is actually limitless growth potential!

"Once the level of the Marble Soul increases, it can gain more powerful strength and destructive capability, and can destroy the enemy’s marbles! This is sothing ordinary marbles cannot do..."

How does it manage this?

Why is there such a difference between ordinary marbles and marbles with a level 10 Marble Soul?

"The answer is permissions!"

"When players defeat others, they increase the level of their Marble Soul, gaining more powerful attributes and strength... This process is essentially a process of enhancing permissions."

By this point, everyone had already caught on.

After noting down Ba’s descriptions with pen and paper, Zhong Shengwei was the first to grasp the main point: "But aren’t these permissions supposed to be cleared and reset at the end of a round?"

This analogy of permissions is quite easy to understand.

After the Marble Soul reaches a certain level, within this ga round, players can experience the ga as if they were using cheats.

Things like aimbot

wallhack

destructive environnt, etc...

Why do they experience the ga as if they were using cheats? Because their Marble Soul level is high, and the ga automatically allocates the corresponding permissions to the player based on the Marble Soul level!

So, defeating other players, devouring their Marble Soul, and leveling up is essentially a process of acquiring "cheat-like" permissions in disguise.

However, this cheat isn’t sothing a third-party cheat author ca up with, but rather a hidden chanism preset from the early developnt of the ga.

Cheating isn’t the issue.

After all, you’ve t such a stringent prerequisite condition, that is, killing 29 players in one round, it doesn’t matter if the ga gives you a bit of fun, as it won’t impact other players’ gaming experience.

In one ga round of only 30 people, by the ti players obtain this "legal cheat-like" permission, the ga round has already ended.

In other words, what does it matter if you get the legal cheat-like experience?

The ga round is over, and there are no remaining players; even if you’re invincible now, what could you possibly do? Can the player you defeated already co back to life for you to defeat again?

The problem, however, is that this legal cheating situation is considered a ga easter egg or hidden chanism. Logically, it should be reset after each round.

But the current situation is that, instead of being reset, it continues into the next ga round and can even carry the Marble Soul into classic mode...

"You’re right!"

"The ga indeed has this chanism, and after a normal ga round ends, no matter what level your Marble Soul is, it’s all reset to zero."

Chen Ba explained: "In hindsight, that’s my fault. I only designed the effects for Marble Souls of level 1 to 30, never considering higher levels."

The 1-30 Marble Soul level range is the frawork he created with Lu, allowing the ga to run orderly within this frawork.

Even if a player reaches a level 30 Marble Soul in a ga round, gaining legal cheat-like permissions.

OK! They can’t advance beyond this, and this legal cheat-like permission only lasts for twenty seconds, as everything resets when the results screen appears.

Level 31?

Chen Ba had never considered such a possibility since there are only 30 people in one ga round, where would a level 31 Marble Soul co from?

He wouldn’t specifically set up a plan for sothing non-existent, and there’s not even any command for it, only player.setlevel(1-30).

No preset plan exists, hence no corresponding command or result.

But there is a logic reference available.

In the ga’s underlying code, a section is dedicated to opening higher in-ga permissions with each level increase of the Marble Soul.

At level 30, the player’s in-ga experience is already comparable to flying cheats and wall hacks.

What’s beyond that?

Because Chen Ba and Lu never considered the possibility of a level 31 Marble Soul, they also didn’t anticipate it.

When a player in the ga kills more than 29 players and elevates the Marble Soul to level 31, the system surprisingly allocates so administrator permissions.

Administrator permissions override the ga’s basic operational permissions, aning the round and Marble Soul level that should have been reset are permanently retained.

That’s not all.

What’s also retained is the chanism allowing the Marble Soul to continue growing by devouring!

In the ga, every marble that spawns carries a "Marble Soul
