Chapter 399 Renaming Files
The current situation can be said to be quite bad. The key is that Zhang Qifeng can't think of a solution at all.
Although you can go back to the previous archive and continue the game, Sakura's favorability cannot be advanced. Once you continue to advance, the file will be deleted directly and an error will be reported.
If you copy it again, it will be mysteriously deleted immediately.
Obviously, this is different from the initial deletion of files. The only question is what is the reason for this difference.
So far, Zhang Qifeng has collected a lot of information in the game.
If it is other players, most of them are at their wits end at this time. They can only choose to post angrily about Nitian on the Internet, or continue playing from the previous level and find a new girl to guide.
But Zhang Qifeng guessed that this would probably treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Once the next girl's favorability reaches the third level again, this problem will inevitably occur.
“Could it be that... it’s still a problem with the conductor?
“The files were deleted both times, but the details of the deletion were different.
“Is this because the first time the guide was Elios, and the second time the guide was Arvette? ”
And some text information collected before made Zhang Qifeng firm up this guess.
Obviously, there was something wrong with Arvitt’s previous diary. She She actually felt that she could see something through the male protagonist's pupils. She even vaguely felt the player's presence and realized that she was not peering inward, but outward.
On the contrary. The person on the other side is actually peering into her
This speculation began to become more and more certain as the game time went by, and Arvette's subsequent written materials began to show more and more doubts about this state.
These words at this time give Zhang Qifeng the feeling that they are a bit similar to the confession of a character living in The Truman World.
They can feel that they are being controlled by some kind of force, and there seem to be many unreasonable behaviors in their lives. They feel strange, but the reactions of the people around them seem to be normal. , and may even make them feel that there is something wrong with their own minds.
Arvette was like this at this time. Judging from the subsequent text content, she obviously began to have more and more doubts about the world.
I doubt why I was chosen as the guide, I wonder why I keep having strange behaviors, I wonder who is peeking at her through the eyes of the male protagonist.
Although it is not clear from the text whether these suspicions will drive her to take some dangerous actions, but combined with this information, Zhang Qifeng can already make some strong guesses.
"Could it be that..."
Zhang Qifeng thought for a while, and finally opened the root directory of the game and clicked on Arvet's file with the mouse.
Obviously, he has roughly guessed that all this is probably caused by Arvette.
It should have been the same before, but the usher at that time was Arios.
Obviously, although the guide profession looks inconspicuous in the game, just like a simple tool man, in fact, it has quite outrageous authority in the deep settings of the game.
After becoming a guide, according to the game settings, these AIs seem to be given a lot of permissions and even have the ability to think for themselves.
They will examine all behaviors and phenomena around them, and may even be vaguely aware of the presence of players. This may be because the other characters follow the established script process, but the guide himself does not have the opportunity to fall in love with the protagonist.
It may be because more time is spent on calculations, or it may be because the underlying logic of AI is different. In short, once these roles become facilitators, they have to possess the corresponding skills. After gaining permission, they seem to gradually become aware of the player's existence and engage in some "authority dog" extreme behavior.
For example, delete files of other characters.
Obviously, as a guide, Arvite also likes the protagonist, or in other words, likes the players behind the protagonist, but due to system limitations, she has no way to have any substantial interaction with the players. To keep in touch, you can only silently play the role of tool person.
She can only watch the relationship between the player and another female character getting closer and closer, confessing to each other, and accumulating all kinds of sweet moments.
After catching up with this female character, the player will use the invitation letter to invite another female character again, and the cycle continues.
Although the guide has the highest authority in the game, he will never be noticed by the players. After all, the underlying rules of the game limit everything.
Zhang Qifeng has already guessed that if Arvite's files are deleted, this problem may be temporarily solved.
Just like when Elios was deleted, after deleting Arvette, the system will assign a new female character to be the guide.
At this time, because the new guide has not yet awakened, Zhang Qifeng can freely and unrestrictedly advance the plot of the game for a period of time.
He can activate the third stage of full friendship CG with Sakura, or he can invite a new woman to the island to continue developing an intimate relationship.
But this is obviously still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, because as time goes by, this new facilitator will inevitably gradually awaken and become like Arios and Arvette, using themselves permission to delete character files in the game.
"Then wouldn't this become an endless loop?"
Zhang Qifeng was scratching his head. Now he was a little confused about what the game wanted him to do.
Obviously, so far, the content of this game has gone beyond the scope of ordinary love games or horror games. It has some meta game elements, making the characters in the game have a certain relationship with real players. connection, but obviously its goal is not to let players delete all character files and then play alone.
Seeing a deadlock, Zhang Qifeng didn't know what to do.
Copying Sakura's files doesn't work, deleting Arvette's files doesn't work, copying Arios's files doesn't work either...
Suddenly, Zhang Qifeng had an idea: "Wait, maybe this is okay?"
He found Arvite's file in the folder.
Then, Zhang Qifeng copied and pasted the file, then clicked Rename and copied Ying's file name into it.
In other words, a document that was renamed "Sakura" but was actually Arvette was created.
After finishing the trouble, Zhang Qifeng tried to open the game again.
He was not sure whether this operation would work. After all, it would probably not have any effect in other games.
But "Heartbeat Dream" is not a traditional game after all. I have copied and deleted files so many times before. Renaming files should also be within the scope of the game, right?
Sure enough, Zhang Qifeng was overjoyed that the latest save file of the game was loaded and ran smoothly!
