Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?! -
Chapter 242 - 241 Brother, this thing you have is quite eye-opening, but it’s not very useful.
Chapter 242: Chapter 241 Brother, this thing you have is quite eye-opening, but it’s not very useful.
Chen Tingquan was also at a loss at this moment.
He had been ready to lay on a thick layer of flattery, but the moment he saw the actual item, he couldn’t hold it together.
"Bro, your lighting is bad. Find a brighter place and show it to me.
"Is your wife at home?
"Oh no no no, I didn’t mean that. Alright, alright, the lighting is fine now.
"No problem, bro, no problem, this thing is a real eye-opener! Absolutely genuine! It’s just quite useless, keep it for your collection."
Seeing that even Chen Tingquan was at a loss for words, the barrage of comments welcomed a new wave of ridicule.
"Hahaha, even Ting Quan can’t find words to praise? Is it that authentic?"
"I thought Ting Quan could usually turn jujubes into agates with just a word. Why not blow this one up into pure silver or something?"
"That won’t do. People can tell at a glance if jujubes are turned into agates, so it still has some show effect, but if this were turned into pure silver, it would be easy to have professional competence questioned. As a professional treasure appraisal streamer, you definitely can’t do that."
"We can only say this prize truly lacks prestige, even a smooth-talking host like Ting Quan can’t find a good point to praise!"
"It seems like there are already at least a dozen people online who have flaunted this achievement, right? And there will probably be even more in the future. Originally everyone was envious, but now, it’s turned into the biggest joke!"
"Brother Long, hurry and stream yourself attaching it to your car and take it for a spin, haha!"
Watching the screen full of comments, Heilong was also somewhat speechless.
What to do?
If he weren’t streaming right now, he would have just tossed this junk into some corner and forgotten about it, this thing is not a gold trophy after all, even keeping it in the study feels like it lacks prestige!
But since he was streaming, he might as well make use of its popularity a little longer.
Heilong stood up: "Fine, since the brothers want to see, I’ll stick it on the car."
Soon enough, Heilong switched the live stream to his phone and took the plaque down to the underground garage.
Actually, the size of the plaque was just right.
Although everyone drives a different car, and the designs of the car rears vary, most cars will have a clear emblem at the trunk area. And around the emblem, generally, there’s a certain space left open.
Especially just below the emblem and above the license plate area, there’s plenty of room.
Of course, if considering pure aesthetics, the original emblem position would be more suitable, but considering covering the emblem is not too nice, Heilong gave up on that idea and finally chose to affix this little shield-shaped plaque below the emblem.
"Actually, it doesn’t look too bad, what do you guys think?"
The plaque came with its cleaning tools and adhesive glue as well, so Heilong, after a bit of positioning, quickly got the plaque successfully attached.
At this point, looking at the car’s rear, at the top was a circular tail light, followed by the emblem, the letters on the license plate holder, the "Road Rage Simulator" shield shape plaque, and finally the car’s license plate itself.
Truth be told, it looked pretty natural and wasn’t too jarring.
Of course, every car’s rear design is different, and Heilong’s car had enough space between the emblem and the license plate to allow this placement. If it were a car with less space, it would have to be attached beside the emblem or somewhere else.
Even though the effect after attachment was not bad, the mockery from the livestream audience did not cease.
"Brother Long, why does your car have two emblems?"
"Is this Heilong’s ride-hailing live stream? Can I scan to pay online?"
"Mister driver, why is your ride-hailing payment code stuck on the car’s rear? How do you expect passengers to scan it?"
"The passenger can just scan to pay after getting off!"
"Or let the driver behind scan it, then have that driver pick up the passengers and let the passengers scan to pay."
"Genius! Out of hospital!"
"It’s indeed like a ride-hailer simulator, see how thoughtfully the payment QR code has been prepared. Brother Long, why don’t you drive around for a couple of laps?"
"Liar, it’s obviously not a payment QR code. Everyone, scan it quickly, there’s something good!"
While Heilong was attaching the plaque, some viewers in the live stream who were quick with their hands had already scanned it.
Though the quality of the live stream’s camera was not great, and it kept moving, making it blurry, the number of bored viewers was large, and after persistent scanning, something had indeed been found!
"Video editing?"
Heilong was stunned for a moment, and he quickly took out his phone and scanned it too.
At the same time, a glimmer of hope lit up in his heart.
Could it be... there’s more to it after scanning the code?
Like scanning to find a treasure map and then searching at a specified location to find a mysterious gift?
Heilong subconsciously imagined many possibilities.
However, the result of the QR code scan soon became clear, and it was not a mysterious treasure map at all, but just a simple video!
The video showed a highlight reel of Heilong’s accomplishment of the achievement, which seemed to be automatically edited using a backend algorithm.
In addition, Heilong’s game account and ID were also labeled in the video.
It appeared that the video’s website used a third-party interface from the official platform, where one could log in with an official platform account. If Heilong logged in himself, then he could enter his vehicle’s license plate number here.
That was all there was.
Heilong was once again full of question marks, "Huh? That’s it?"
All one could say was that the QR code did scan to reveal something, but not much.
Who would actually take the time to watch someone else’s highlights!
Heilong was at a loss for words, not really understanding why things had turned out this way.
Originally, he just wanted to unbox Nitiandang’s rare gift in front of the camera, play with it a bit, and then happily place it on the shelf. Afterward, he could continue with today’s stream.
Whether it was continuing to ride a motorcycle or switching to another game, the content for today’s live stream could have been easily covered.
But who would have thought, he’d unbox something like this!
Under the coercion of his audience, he had no choice but to stick the thing on his car, and even had to drive out for a spin...
However, Heilong still harbored a glimmer of hope. Though the plaque looked cheap, something you could have custom-made in a small commodity market for a few tens of yuan, after all, not many domestic players had obtained one! Its rarity could prove valuable!
Maybe it really could attract some attention?
With such fantasies, Heilong started the car and drove a simple lap around the nearby roads.
And then... there was nothing more.
Absolutely nothing happened!
Even though the plaque seemed quite noticeable, passersby clearly had no idea what it was or what it represented. The scene Heilong imagined where other cars would follow behind to take pictures did not occur at all!
Heilong felt helpless while the barrage of comments in the live chat became even more restless.
"Hahaha, I knew it, no one cares to watch!"
"66 hours of hard struggle for a taste of loneliness."
"It’s fine, Brother Long, just keep it on. It’s recognition from the Nitiandang officials! Although it’s not worth much."
Back home, sitting in front of the computer, Heilong suddenly felt a sense of melancholy.
Ah, it felt as though a portion of his life had been stolen.
It was hard to describe this feeling of loss, especially with countless mocking comments still floating across the live stream chat.
But soon, Heilong felt a bit better, realizing he wasn’t the only hardcore player who had received this plaque.
The first batch of gamers who had gone to extreme lengths to achieve this goal also began to furiously complain online!
"Crap! All that effort for a lousy plaque?"
"Hard to hold back, and it’s a QR code too!"
"Actually, putting this thing behind the passenger seat for ride-share passengers to scan makes perfect sense with no sense of incongruity!"
"Nitiandang’s products are indeed practical, so practical it’s hard to even complain..."
"Where’s my pure gold trophy? I really want to thank Nitiandang for specially mentioning there would be a mysterious prize for accomplishing this achievement. It’s outright fraud! I suggest we call the police!"
"No problem, who could have guessed the gift? Wouldn’t you say it’s quite mysterious?"
"We’ve been had, anyone still trying for the achievement, run for it!"
"Damn, I’ve been accident-free for almost forty hours now, should I even bother continuing?"
"I think all the players across the net should thank these big dupes for bringing everyone top-notch entertainment! You sacrificed yourselves, bringing warmth to others, you’re all great people!"
Soon enough, with the complaints of the first batch of hardcore players, the internet army also sprung into action.
"Road Rage Simulator’s Mysterious Gift" suddenly trended online, and its popularity kept on rising!
Of course, there were multiple reasons for this topic’s popularity.
On one hand, the hype from the previous "Road Rage Simulator" and Ghost Flame Boy challenge was still high, so even a small spark had reignited it; on the other hand, this challenge was indeed very difficult, and the prize offered was naturally suited for spreading due to its humorous nature.
Furthermore, with the players’ antics and the instigation of paid posters, the topic’s discussion continued to grow rapidly and remained high!
And for those players who had been struggling in the game to achieve this goal and obtain the mysterious gift, it was like they had taken a critical hit of ten thousand points, resulting in a massive wave of negative emotions!
So this is the so-called mysterious prize??
Then why am I suffering in the game, fighting for dozens of hours, where a single accident wipes out all my progress, what is this all for??
