This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 175 - 133: Jiangning’s Most Beautiful Matchmaker (Part 2)

Chapter 175: Chapter 133: Jiangning’s Most Beautiful Matchmaker (Part 2)

There’s another issue with the favorability gauge.

The oscillating graph can only be seen in the backend; players can’t see it themselves.

Chen Ba plans to create a feature displaying the graph so that players can see the favorability curve of others in real-time, but not their own.

Why can’t they see their own?

On one hand, it’s useless to see it. Don’t you already know in your heart whether you like a particular NPC or player?

On the other hand, this prevents players from nitpicking or deliberately doing the opposite.

My curve increased?

Hey! I don’t buy that. I’m going to go against the curve! You think a single curve can reflect my true thoughts? What a joke!

Based on this premise, Chen Ba doesn’t plan to let players see their own curves, only others’ curves.

"The curve seems to have changed?"

Yang Dong noticed something strange while watching Chen Ba play: "Previously, the curve was entirely determined by the different selection branches."

"But now, it seems related to the player’s conversations and interactions?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Ba also noticed.

This is the second peculiar phenomenon exhibited by "Love Advisor Department."

Apart from the amazing matchmaking system, "Love Advisor Department" also provides the function of reflecting favorability curve changes based on real-time player interactions and dialogues.

Sounds like a mouthful?

It’s actually quite simple!

Suppose Player A says to Player B: "You’re so annoying!" This could be said via voice channel or text chat.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t affect the favorability curve, but in reality, both players’ favorability curves decline with this remark.

Too intelligent!

This intelligent contextual understanding and behavioral analysis function is akin to the elusive NPC behavior logic in "Divine Grace Continent."

Luckily, it’s just a game.

If it were a program applicable in real life, that would be impressive.

Meeting a stranger, an appointment with a client, or reporting to a leader — the program would let you see the favorability curves of these people.

That way, you wouldn’t have to rack your brains predicting intentions or dissecting what a leader or client actually means by each remark.

After all, the favorability curve is right there!

As long as the curve declines, the leader or client is subtly expressing dissatisfaction. If it rises, it shows they’re quite pleased.

If such a feature could be applied in the real world, it would dramatically change human relations and society, eliminating notions like "people’s hearts are unfathomable" or "knowing someone from their face, not their heart."

Bug levels comparable to mind-reading!

Perhaps, this is also why "Love Advisor Department" has turned so many couples, becoming a social networking software.

In reality, hypocrites can carry on being fake; they’re not afraid of being exposed. But in "Love Advisor Department," they simply can’t maintain their facades.

After all, a mysterious AI is reading minds, constantly analyzing your thoughts!

...

Shen Xinghui, a local of Jiangning.

After graduating from college, he entered the public sector through exams and currently works as an insignificant clerk in the civil affairs department.

Today, he was to accompany the leadership on a research visit to a game studio and attend a so-called special meeting.

Researching a game studio?

This really sounds incredible, but it’s true. After all, the game studio they are visiting today is not any ordinary one.

It’s a studio praised by countless official media for its social responsibilities.

"Love Advisor Department"!

This game, which had nothing to do with him, became a frequently heard term amongst these insiders after repeated media coverage.

They say it’s incredible.

Chen Ba, who developed this game, even received accolades such as "Jiangning’s Top Ten Outstanding Youth" and "Jiangning’s Most Beautiful Matchmaker," making him a renowned figure in the public sector.

"Too impressive..."

Shen Xinghui said to his colleague: "Imagine, a game actually increased our city’s eligible marriage rate by 12.4%!"

"Indeed."

The colleague exclaimed in wonder: "And that’s just Jiangning. Imagine the effect nationwide?"

This game is so special.

Calling it a game is inaccurate; internally, "Love Advisor Department" is defined as "a marriage-dating platform with significant internet features."

Exactly!

People in the system don’t like using the word "game" to describe "Love Advisor Department." So, in reports and documents, they gave it a new label.

The main content of today’s special meeting is to discuss how to integrate this "big data-driven marriage and dating platform" into grassroots levels, solving young people’s marriage issues in one fell swoop.

The final conclusion was that the PC version is inconvenient, and they hoped Tianba Studio would quickly develop the mobile version of "Love Advisor Department."

With the mobile version, grassroots staff could promote it in villages and communities to contribute to marriage and birth rates.

Shen Xinghui stayed behind.

As the contact person, he’s specifically responsible for communicating with Tianba Studio and solving their problems, acting as a "liaison."

Of course!

Saying he solves problems isn’t quite accurate; Tianba Studio doesn’t really need him and just needs a 24-hour phone line accessible.

Shen Xinghui’s main job is still to go to villages, informing them about the latest policies or benefits.

After their comprehensive communication, Tianba Studio agreed to donate five thousand "Love Advisor Department" Cdkeys to distribute to single people in villages or communities in need.

Who are these Cdkeys given to? How many spots does each village get?

All of this needs Shen Xinghui and his colleagues to go to villages and inform the village leaders to implement this plan.

Priority goes to those who have a computer at home and are single, as currently "Love Advisor Department" doesn’t have a mobile version and can only be played on a computer...

Next come young people with ideas.

Anyway, the Cdkey is given, whether individuals can use it or have a computer to play "Love Advisor Department" isn’t their concern.

But Shen Xinghui believes that as long as the promotion is thorough and people know this isn’t a scam, but a real chance to find a partner, single men and women wouldn’t mind buying a computer.

To put it plainly.

This is just blind dating through the internet, and it’s normal for people to have doubts or worries.

But the achievements of "Love Advisor Department" are too dazzling; everyone says online dating is unreliable, but it has a much higher success rate than offline dating.

As long as this point is made clear, even without the free Cdkeys, these people would still give it a try.

After all, going on a blind date and treating someone to a meal costs at least a hundred bucks, right?

Buying a $68 game for unlimited dating opportunities is a very low cost for many single men and women in need.

After trying so many traditional blind dates, joining this "internet blind date" trend doesn’t hurt.

What if it works?

To be honest, as a young person, Shen Xinghui understands what worries or concerns these people might have.

He doesn’t have to do much.

He just needs to showcase the achievements of "Love Advisor Department" and use his laptop to show them the "Happiness Album" in the game.

He doesn’t believe that with such an impressive success rate and countless success stories, these people would remain unmoved.

Are you kidding!

If Shen Xinghui hadn’t been in a relationship so early, he might have been tempted to try if "Love Advisor Department" was truly that magical himself.

The only roadblock might be that "Love Advisor Department" requires a computer to play. A computer is costly, which might cause hesitation.

Once the mobile version is out, promotional work will be easier.

After all, these days, household computers might not be popular, but almost everyone has a smartphone, with some people even using two or three phones concurrently...
