Chapter 344: Chapter 219: An Extra Stage!
Jiangning, Tianba Studio.
Chen Ba, as usual, was sitting cross-legged, humming an unknown tune while sipping the floral tea he had spent a fortune on at the market.
But before he could take a few sips, Lu burst through the door, storming in.
"How many tis have I told you, knock on the door before you co in, knock first!"
Chen Ba had grown numb to Lu’s impolite and reckless behavior. Despite teaching him countless tis to knock before entering, Lu never did.
"I’ll definitely knock next ti!"
Without a hint of remorse on his face, Lu zipped over and sat across from Chen Ba, then said, "Ba, our Ancestor Tree has a bug..."
"Oh?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ba quickly uncrossed his legs, sat upright, and said, "What’s going on, tell
quickly."
"Here’s the thing..."
Lu explained his discovery, along with the player feedback he had received, combining it with his own reproduction tests, and provided an analysis and judgnt of the bug.
"A bug where multiple Ancestor Trees on the sa xyz axis coordinates exhibit anomalous model growth?"
Initially, upon hearing this, Chen Ba didn’t show much reaction, as it seed to him that this was a pre-designed chanism!
What abnormal model growth?
It’s clearly to prevent Ancestor Tree A from blocking Ancestor Tree B, so no other models are generated, restricting each xyz axis to only one Ancestor Tree.
Worried that Lu wouldn’t understand, Chen Ba patiently explained, "This isn’t a bug; this is a unique ga chanism."
Ancestor Tree is a 3D ga.
Within the ga, there are three spatial coordinate axes: xyz, and at any given axis position, only one Ancestor Tree can exist.
It’s not just the sa position.
Adjacent grids, being too close, are actually considered the sa position, and a second Ancestor Tree won’t be generated.
For example...
At the position (x, 1, y, 15, z, 3), an Ancestor Tree is generated. Within a circular area centered at the x-axis x1 with a radius of about two coordinate distances, no second Ancestor Tree will be generated.
So, the positions (x, 2, y, 15, z, 3) and (x, -1, y, 15, z, 3) are also considered the sa position.
Because in this zone, if a character repeatedly dies, what happens?
The answer is, the only Ancestor Tree will gain size growth based on its original form, showcasing a distinction from before.
"I understand this chanism."
Lu waved his hand and said, "What I’m talking about is a special situation arising from this chanism."
"This Ancestor Tree, won’t it have infinite model growth if it keeps dying in the sa area?"
"Infinite growth? No way!"
Chen Ba frowned and said.
Ever since Global Evolution caused an uproar, he had been cautious about any ga chanism involving the word "infinite," fearing it might lead to sothing serious again.
Under this chanism, an Ancestor Tree absorbs nutrients to grow, with its size slightly increasing.
But this growth has a limit.
Upon reaching this limit, the Ancestor Tree will yield an additional fruit, and this process will cycle until the tree is full of fruits.
"Now I understand where the problem lies..."
Lu suddenly realized, "The growth threshold for an Ancestor Tree is when it bears fruit, but if this Ancestor Tree can’t bear fruit, then it’ll beco endlessly growing like Saitama from One Punch Man."
No fruit bearing?
Hmm? How is that possible?
The ga chanism is that when a character dies, they leave a special legacy for future descendants to inherit.
The so-called legacy is the fruit hanging on the Ancestor Tree, how could there be no fruit unless...
Chen Ba realized sothing.
Seeing his slightly hesitant expression, Lu nodded and said, "No doubt, it’s exactly as you thought, at the first trap of the newbie level!"
"Oh crap..."
Chen Ba had black lines on his forehead, feeling his intelligence was being insulted.
The newbie level is supposed to grant free experience and benefits, right? Even with rice thrown on the keyboard, a chicken could pass it?
And yet soone died, and not just once, but precisely at the first trap’s location, is this even human?
"I find it absurd too, but it’s precisely because it’s absurd that this bug was discovered, right?"
Lu explained, "The current situation is, that his Ancestor Tree isn’t bearing fruit, but its model keeps growing."
"And after dying more than a thousand tis, he encountered a new bug, locking the perspective."
The situation Yao Mao encountered wasn’t just one bug but multiple bugs accumulating.
The first bug was the abnormal model growth without a limit for the Ancestor Tree. The second bug was that after he died, his resurrection perspective locked onto the Ancestor Tree.
"Perspective locked onto the Ancestor Tree?"
Hearing this strange description, Chen Ba couldn’t help but comnt, "Wouldn’t the ga be stuck then?"
"That’s where it’s odd, the ga didn’t just get stuck, it continued to run normally. Because once the player’s perspective is locked onto the Ancestor Tree, the main character Tree Treasure is still controlled and continues the adventure..."
After Lu’s reproduction operations, he confird Yao Mao wasn’t lying; this situation indeed exists.
That is, the player is trapped in the Ancestor Tree, but the character can still move freely, even proceeding with adventures as usual.
"This is really strange..."
Upon hearing about this phenonon, Chen Ba’s first reaction wasn’t fear but shock.
Because Ancestor Tree doesn’t have the so-called computer hosting chanism, which ans that only players are supposed to control the ga character.
