This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 249 - 170: Magic Animation 2

...

Chen Ba, 17 years old this year.

Having lost his parents at a young age, he grew up eating food given by others, and now studies at Shenyue City First High School, seen by teachers and classmates as a top student.

One day, a new transfer student named Li Yuling joined the class.

Li Yuling, with her sweet appearance and affluent family, became an undisputed beauty queen, instantly capturing the hearts of all the boys in class, recognized as the class goddess.

Chen Ba was also attracted by Li Yuling’s beauty, starting a frenzied pursuit.

In pursuit of Li Yuling, Chen Ba bought her many gifts, including beautiful clothes and dazzling jewelry...

Under his crazy pursuit, Li Yuling was moved and accepted his confession, and the two became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Chen Ba wanted to be with her forever, even talked about marriage, but this thought scared Li Yuling, leading her to start avoiding him deliberately.

Chen Ba felt very frustrated and confused, not knowing what he had said wrong.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Until one afternoon, Chen Ba cornered Li Yuling at the stairwell, asking why she was avoiding him.

"I’m sorry! But we really aren’t suitable to be together..."

Li Yuling still wanted to escape, but Chen Ba didn’t give her the chance, trapping her in the corner with one hand against the wall, insisting on hearing the truth.

Li Yuling, helpless, finally revealed the truth.

It turned out, the widely perceived beauty queen Li Yuling was actually a boy!

In front of the screen, Chen Ba: "..."

For better research on competitors’ products, he specially gathered Lu, Zhong Shengwei, and others to watch together.

The idea was that many eyes would surely identify the pros and cons of the "Magic Animation" software, and see if it would impact "Divine Grace Continent".

But now, he regretted it.

If he had known "Magic Animation" was such an abstract thing, he would not have valued it so much, let alone called everyone to watch.

Now it’s a mess, naming the character "Chen Ba" was absolutely the most foolish operation ever, bar none!

"Pft hahahaha..."

Lu couldn’t hold it in first, seeing Ba press the pause button, he couldn’t help but tease: "Don’t pause, Ba, keep it going, I’m not done watching yet!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Zhong Shengwei joined in teasing too: "Didn’t you call us to study and research? Why stop us midway?"

"This software is something else!"

"Feels like this AI’s intelligence matches our ’Divine Grace Continent’, it’s worth our attention and study!"

Lu said earnestly, "Don’t misunderstand, Ba, we’re not mocking you, we just find this software amazing, so we need to keep studying."

As he spoke, without waiting for Chen Ba’s answer, Lu snatched the mouse and clicked to continue generating the animation.

The story continues.

Upon learning that his girlfriend was actually his boyfriend, Chen Ba was not angry or upset, instead he rubbed Li Yuling’s head and comforted, "I thought it was a big deal!"

"You little fool, I like you, whether you’re a boy or a girl doesn’t matter, even if you were a pig, I’d still love you!"

Ooh ooh ooh!

As soon as these words came out, the whole studio went into an uproar.

Especially Lu, whose face was almost glued to the computer screen, admiration written all over: "This software is something special!"

"Indeed, it’s too incredible!"

"I feel the AI level blows away ’Divine Grace Continent’, it’s just frightening..."

Zhong Shengwei and Lu, singing in harmony, made Chen Ba’s face darken.

He never dreamed Tencent’s copy of "Magic Animation" would turn out to be such an abstract product.

Can a human think of this plot?

Who trained this AI model? Can you quickly come apologize, he feels his intelligence has been insulted, and his innocence has been sullied.

"Not watching, not watching!"

Chen Ba wanted to stop this farce, lest Lu and others continue to laugh at him, but the others refused, insisting to finish the story.

Fine, watch then!

The girlfriend turned boyfriend act already numbed Chen Ba, and he was actually curious about what would happen next.

What else can this broken AI pull off?

With curiosity, he continued watching...

In the story, Chen Ba and Li Yuling reconciled, and their relationship news reached Li Yuling’s parents.

Because Chen Ba was poor, Li Yuling’s parents didn’t agree to him being with their son unless he could earn ten million with his own ability.

Oh? A new route?

No one expected the AI to have this skill, immediately connecting to a new storyline after the last story ended.

It really seems to have some substance...

Just as everyone was curious how the story would unfold, and how the protagonist Chen Ba would meet Li Yuling’s father’s condition, his next action dumbfounded everyone.

On the screen, protagonist Chen Ba kidnapped Li Yuling.

That’s right!

This Li Yuling was indeed that Li Yuling!

Through kidnapping Li Yuling, he extorted ten million cash from Mr. Li, and then handed the money to Mr. Li, gaining his approval...

"What kind of dumb AI?"

Lu was completely stunned, rolling his eyes and said: "Has this AI crashed due to too much simulation?"

"Pretty much!"

Chen Ba, rubbing his chin, said: "Not quite crashing, probably this AI’s database is incomplete, lacking essential material for certain situations."

This logic is easy to understand.

When the plot reached "Protagonist desperately needing ten million cash", AI lacked related database material, leading it to search online "how to quickly get ten million cash?"

The search results would definitely be unreliable answers, but AI can’t distinguish proper from improper, so it adopted them.

Based on this result, continuing to generate plot simulation led to the unbelievable scene before us.

To put it bluntly!

This "Magic Animation" does have merits, but it’s not as miraculous as blown up, let alone comparable to "Divine Grace Continent".

"As a pastime making silly animations it works, but to treat it seriously as a productivity tool, it falls far short..."

Chen Ba gave his review.

Lu and Zhong Shengwei deeply agreed, from the current test results, "Magic Animation" seemed hard to use seriously.

AI is too dumb and mechanical.

This also results in AI-generated animations being full of bugs and loopholes. Kidnapping the girlfriend is small potatoes, there was even a "I cuckolded myself" kind of ridiculous situation.

"Shouldn’t have set it in a modern city!"

Chen Ba sighed: "A modern city setting has too many constraints, easily causing logical issues and plot holes." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Why not create a otherworld!

After all, otherworld settings are whatever we say, even if there are loopholes or bugs, AI can patch them up.

Modern city setting, viewers are simply too familiar with.

Under such a setting, AI-simulated animations are riddled with loopholes, unbearable to watch, sillier than silly animations by a thousand times!

But if switched to an otherworld, it’d be different...

That’s also why, "Divine Grace Continent" NPC behavioral logic is so normal.

Does "Divine Grace Continent" have such problems? Of course it does!

For example, an NPC clearly sick and dying, but soon appears on another map, lively and healthier than ordinary people.

Similar small oversights frequently happen in "Divine Grace Continent".

However, because the story background is otherworldly, and there’s sword and magic elements, it can always be patched up.

An NPC clearly was dying, yet switched maps and recovered health?

Don’t be surprised!

That’s the doing of the Holy Hall Mage, blessed by the Holy Hall Mage’s Holy Light, the sickness was cleared, hence this happened.

Isn’t that reasonable?

But if set in a modern city background, such situation, how to patch up? Rely on supposed Taiyi Divine Needle?
