Chapter 424: Chapter 418: Scammed by Figurines!_3

Players cursed and scolded before realizing that they were powerless, the only options being to ask for a refund immediately or be forced to swallow the loss.

Of course, there were a few players who took it lightly. They thought that even at a price of 699, the figurine was still quite fair, especially since it now included a type-C port for charging. Keeping it as a collectible wasn’t a loss at all.

However, these players didn’t have much of a voice online.

Chen Tingquan casually browsed through forums and video websites, noticing that many people were upset about the second generation of figurines, which inexplicably improved his mood.

Yet, as he continued browsing, he stumbled upon more and more content about the unpacking of "Heartbeat Dream."

Chen Tingquan was somewhat surprised, "How come there are unpacking videos of this game?

"Didn’t I see some just a few days ago?

"And they are still new videos? This..."

Up to now, there have been a continuous stream of unpacking videos for "Heartbeat Dream" on the video websites, which was rather bizarre.

Because unpacking often isn’t common, players typically don’t place a lot of emphasis on it. In most cases like action games, unpackers look into some skills or item values, monster resistances, and other attributes. The majority of the unpacked content spread through text or tables suffices, without the need for so many videos to discuss it.

After all, for almost all games, unpacking is equivalent to directly seeing the standard answer and does not usually provoke much controversy.

And something without controversy naturally wouldn’t generate much heat.

Chen Tingquan randomly clicked on a few videos and realized that the reason there were so many unpacking videos for "Heartbeat Dream" was indeed because it was different from other games.

There was a key issue. Even though so many people had unpacked it, they still hadn’t completely figured it out!

That was the question Master Dongsheng raised in the first video, concerning how to actually achieve the real ending of "Heartbeat Dream."

When this video first appeared, most people didn’t think much of it.

How else could it be achieved? By coding it, of course!

Naturally, creating a game in the way normal people do is the easiest and most stable method, perhaps even the only method.

If it were another game company, not only would they really struggle to implement it, but they would also struggle to think of any other methods.

As for why Master Dongsheng said it was an unsolved mystery?

Perhaps it was because Master Dongsheng didn’t unpack for long and missed some of the code, creating confusion.

Or maybe it was just some sort of publicity stunt.

But regardless, more and more experts joined in, and they too started unpacking "Heartbeat Dream," aiming to easily pinpoint those codes and put an end to this pointless game.

During this process, people often claimed they had found the code for the real ending of "Heartbeat Dream."

However, soon after, these claims were consistently debunked; the codes they found could not achieve the true ending or summon the GM interface.

So, under rounds of debate, these people continued to dig deeper into the core code of "Heartbeat Dream," wishing they could dig three feet into the ground.

This was a tedious task with no profit, but the atmosphere urged them on; it was all about fighting for pride, after all!

After round after round of clashes, the truth gradually surfaced.

There truly wasn’t a line of code in the game that cleanly executed the function for this real ending, and even after digging three feet into the ground, no one could find how the game called up the GM interface!

This was truly mysterious.

Since most players have a sense of positioning, after seeing the report from the Play Less Games Network, they tried it for themselves, found that it truly could trigger the actual ending and unlock the GM tools, so they naturally assumed this was content officially arranged by the developer.

Meta games, after all, nothing inside or outside the game should come as much of a surprise.

But now, as the initial fog clearing, everyone was puzzled.

If it wasn’t officially designed, then how was this ending triggered?

Could it really be a miracle?

Has the AI awakened? Are we initiating the robotic crisis now?

Obviously, no one believed that current AI capabilities could achieve this level, making it impossible for any game character to awaken a self-awareness. Even the developers of fake-AI themselves didn’t believe it.

However, ultimately, there were only two possibilities now.

One possibility was that Nitiandang, in order to complete the meta-game function, granted fake-AI certain privileges, causing the AI to incorrectly summon the GM interface due to some special bugs while directing a guide to delete and modify game files.

If so, it would be a genuine bug; the so-called "real ending" was merely an accidental bug state of the game crashing.

The second possibility was that Nitiandang intentionally did not create this feature through coding but subtly guided the AI during training, influencing its behavior pattern indirectly, ultimately causing the AI to alter game content using guide permissions and steering the game into this "real ending" state.

But, at the end of the day, either situation was outrageously bizarre!
