Chapter 409: Being scammed by a figure!
Friday, November 13th.
At 7 p.m., Chen Tingquan started broadcasting on time.
"Good evening, dear friends.
“Let’s look at the treasures first and then play games tonight.
“Before that, let’s unbox a gadget first.
“Dang-dang-dang!
"Look, the latest second-generation figure of Elrios! This figure was just delivered. Let''s open a box directly. If I guessed correctly, this should be the first batch of unboxings on the entire network, right?
"Nitiantian''s logistics are quite particular. It seems that the first batch of figures were all delivered at about the same time."
As Chen Tingquan spoke, he took out an express packaging box in front of the camera.
Although Chen Tingquan is not particularly interested in the game "Heartbeat Dreamland", he has played it himself. His favorite character is not Arios, but after seeing the analysis of the true ending on the Internet, he also has a certain fondness for Arios.
This is obviously due to the image design of Ni Tiantian. The character of Arios was designed from the beginning to have a position similar to "Taiwan Balm". Even if most players don''t like it at first sight, they will watch it for a long time. It will also produce some good feelings.
In addition, the second sale of the figure was very popular, and many people speculated that it would probably become a financial product, so Chen Tingquan bought one with the mentality of "get it without losing money".
I have to say that Nitiantian is quite particular about this second batch of figures.
First of all, there are strict restrictions on purchase qualifications. Not only can only one purchase be made with the same account, but players also need to link to the official platform account and verify it. Players who have played "Heartbeat Dreamland" for a long time have a greater chance of grabbing it.
Not only that, the figures you grab will be permanently bound to the official platform account and cannot be changed.
It can be said that the interference of scalpers is avoided to the greatest extent.
Although players can ignore the binding and directly transfer the figure to others, in this case the figure will lose its linkage function with the game and will no longer have any actions, which will obviously greatly reduce its appeal.
In addition, the delivery time of this batch of figures seems to have been accurately calculated. Provinces with far distances will be shipped first, and provinces with short distances will be shipped later. This basically ensures that the first batch of customers to buy will be shipped today. Received the goods from afternoon to evening.
It can be regarded as retaining the sense of mystery to the greatest extent, and the veil of the second batch of figures was kept until the last moment.
"Okay, the exciting moment is here, let''s unbox it!"
The second batch of figures shipped this time was obviously larger than the first batch, and it was completely sold out about half an hour after it went on sale. This slightly diluted the players'' joy after grabbing it, but most people are still looking forward to this figure.
"My dear friends, this box is slightly larger than the first generation box. It seems that 699 must have been upgraded.
"I think the size of the second-generation figure should be about 1/3 larger than the first-generation figure."
As Chen Tingquan spoke, he held the box in his hand, shook it briefly, and then weighed it.
Well, judging from the collision between the product packaging box and the express box inside, it is indeed larger and heavier.
This made Chen Tingquan very happy. He immediately took out a small paper knife and cut the tape on the packaging box.
However, after opening the packaging box, Chen Tingquan was a little dumbfounded.
Inside was a smaller packaging box!
It''s not the product''s original plastic packaging, but another paper box.
And inside the outer packaging box, in addition to the foam filling material for cushioning, you can obviously also see some support structures similar to plastic skeletons.
Although these support structures can protect the box from deformation, their greater role is to add weight to the packaging box, thereby significantly changing its weight in the hand.
Chen Tingquan instantly had a bad premonition.
If you only take out the packaging box inside... isn''t it exactly the same as the first generation?
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened the packaging box inside again. Sure enough, only then did the original plastic packaging of the figure appear.
Chen Tingquan took out the original packaging of the figure, weighed it in his hands, then silently opened it again and took out the figure from inside.
Then, the live broadcast room fell into a long silence.
"Isn''t this the wrong product?
"What''s the difference between this and the first-generation figure?"
Chen Tingquan was stunned because the second-generation figure he took out was completely indistinguishable from the first-generation figure!
He quickly took the original first-generation figure from the side.
Fortunately, Chen Tingquan''s luck is pretty good, and the shapes of these two figures are different. If the styling were the same, it would really make me want to cry.
He also found an unboxing video of a previous generation figure from the Internet, found the corresponding shape, and then compared it carefully.
After a long time, he shouted sadly: "This is a scam!"
Obviously, the second-generation figure he received at this time was almost no different from the previous generation figure!
There are no changes in size, material, shape, etc.!
If it weren''t for the words "second generation product" clearly written on the box, Chen Tingquan would even think that the official had sent the wrong product.
Chen Tingquan did not give up and wanted to compare carefully with a microscope. He finally found that there were slight differences in the color matching of some details. For example, the accessories on the body, the details of the clothes, etc. are slightly different.
But this difference is almost negligible when it comes to small figures.
In addition, the biggest difference is that a type-C socket is added to the second-generation figure, which is hidden under the clothes.
Chen Tingquan originally thought there was some key information hidden here, but after connecting it to the computer, he discovered that it was not even a storage device. The computer could not read it at all, and its only function was to charge the figure.
Chen Tingquan leaned on the computer chair, put his hand on his forehead, and did not speak for a long time.
"What''s this called...
“Increase the price but not the quantity???”
Originally, Chen Tingquan was happily unpacking the box, but at this time, his good mood disappeared instantly. He felt like the wronged person who spent 699 on a water bath, and it only sank after just one bath. Bottom.
As for the barrage at this time, I was already laughing like crazy.
"Pfft! It''s so funny. How can I create a figure and have the effect of a show?"
"Ah? Is this the legendary financial product? The legendary second-generation figure of Arios?"
"What kind of financial products? Fraudulent products are the right ones!"
"It is recommended that anchors download the anti-fraud center APP quickly and be wary of new scams!"
"You''re laughing so hard, hurry up and return it. You bought the original product for 699 for 399. What a shame!"
"Why do you call 699 to buy something from the original 399? Isn''t it obviously different? There is an extra type-C interface! I will sell you 300 yuan for one interface. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"There''s really nothing wrong with it. After all, there is an extra socket on the girl''s body. Some things are very important, and they can''t be bought with just 300 yuan."
"It''s a pity that the position of the socket is not right. If it were moved to a key part, it would be worth adding 300 more!"
Seeing these unscrupulous barrages, Chen Tingquan was completely speechless.
He really didn’t want to create a show effect!
Today was originally a good day. I planned to simply open a box after the broadcast and show off my new figure to everyone. Then the matter was revealed and the story was turned over. Unexpectedly, it became everyone''s laughing stock.
“Forget it, there’s no need to return it.
"Keep it for now. Maybe in the future... my thoughts will be different."
Chen Tingquan looked at the figure carefully again, with mixed feelings in his heart.
After all, it is a figure with a different shape, and the production is equally beautiful. If we look at the prices of common figures on the market, this thing is actually not expensive at 699. It can only be said to be a return to the normal price.
But compared with the 399 that the first-generation blood earned, this normal price seems abnormal. This is an anchoring effect. Since the price of this figure has been anchored to 399, even if the price becomes normal, most people will feel that it is inflated and not worth it.
When it comes to returns, of course they can be returned. After all, national law stipulates that most products online are eligible for seven days without reason, and figures are obviously among them.
But Chen Tingquan thought about it and realized that this thing was finally obtained after all, and the shape was different from the previous first-generation figures. Strictly speaking, the price was still within the normal range, so there was no need to make a fuss.
But the barrage didn''t stop the ridicule.
"Indeed, maybe I will think differently in the future? Maybe the more I think about it, the more I will feel that I am a big injustice!"
"Anchor, it doesn''t matter if you think this figure is not worth it now. Give it a few more days and think about it more. Then you will realize that this figure is not only worthless, it is simply a fraud!"
"I co-authored the first batch of figures that were sold at a loss of 399, and all of them were made back with this batch of 699, right? Okay, okay, Nitiantian knows how to play."
Chen Tingquan was also helpless. He put the figure aside, at the edge where the camera could capture it, and then added a line of text on the camera screen, pointing to his big head.
"←I spent 699 to buy the second-generation Arios figure!"
Then, Chen Tingquan continued to start his own live broadcast content to appraise the treasures for the audience.
Needless to say, the live broadcast room was quite popular today, with new viewers entering all the time.
But every new viewer who enters will always say: "The host is so awesome, there are two identical first-generation figures of Elios!"
Chen Tingquan was so angry.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
At 9 o''clock in the evening, Chen Tingquan finished today''s treasure appraisal and was going to chat with the barrage for a while, then play games and then go off the air.
After a random search on the Internet, sure enough, the second-generation figure of Elios has become a hot topic again.
The vast majority of players who bought second-generation figures almost received their goods between this afternoon and evening. After unpacking and inspecting the goods, their reactions were exactly the same as Chen Tingquan''s.
"RNM, refund the money!"
Obviously, if this thing sells for 399, then it is a profit, and it is the conscience of the figure industry; but if it sells for 699, then it is a profiteer, and it is a filthy person who cannot be punished!
The Internet was already full of curses, mixed with laughter from a large number of people watching.
There are even people who want to organize a "rights protection group" to seek an explanation from Nitian.
But this is obviously just angry talk. Even if such a rights protection group is really organized, everyone can only complain a few words in the group and cannot really do anything.
Want to sue against heaven? For what reason?
False propaganda?
However, Nitiantian has not made any promises about the second-generation figures. The second-generation figures will be bigger and have different shapes. These are all things people automatically figured out after seeing the price.
Making and selling counterfeit goods?
That''s even more inappropriate, because this figure is original and authentic, the quality is no problem, and the price is within a reasonable range.
After scolding the players, they realized that they were powerless and had to either refund the money as soon as possible or suffer this dumb loss.
Of course, there are a very few players who are very open-minded. They think that even if it sells for 699, this figure is still quite conscientious. What''s more, it also has a type-C interface, which can be charged in the future and can be kept as a collection. Not a loss.
It''s just that this kind of player doesn''t have much voice online.
Chen Tingquan casually browsed the forums and video websites, and saw that everyone was breaking their defenses because of the second-generation figures, and he felt inexplicably better.
However, as I continued to browse, I came across more and more content about the unpacking of "Heartbeat Dreamland".
Chen Tingquan couldn''t help but be a little surprised: "Why is there an unpacking video of this game?
“Isn’t it my impression that I saw it a few days ago?
"It''s actually some new videos? This..."
So far, video websites are still showing a steady stream of unpacking videos of "Heartbeat Dreamland", which is obviously quite bizarre.
Because things like unpacking are not very common in the first place, players are not particularly focused on it. At most, they are some action games. Through unpacking, you can see the specific values ????of some skills or props, monster resistance and various attributes. Most of the unpacked content is completely disseminated in the form of pure text or tables. It''s enough that we won''t have to publish so many videos to discuss it.
After all, for almost all games, unpacking is equivalent to looking at the standard answers directly, and there won''t be much controversy.
And anything that is not controversial will naturally not be too popular.
Chen Tingquan clicked on a few videos and took a look, and then he realized: there are so many unpacking videos for "Heartbeat Dreamland" because it is different from other games.
There is a key issue. Even though so many people have unpacked it, they still don’t fully understand it!
That is the question that Dong Shengjun raised in the first video, how to realize the true ending in "Heartbeat Dreamland".
When this video first appeared, most people didn’t think much about it.
How else can it be achieved? The code is written!
After all, according to the way normal people make games, this is the easiest and most stable way, and it can even be said to be the only way.
If it were another game company, let alone actually do it, even if they were asked to think of other ways, they wouldn''t be able to come up with it.
As for why Dongshengjun said this is an unsolved mystery?
Perhaps it was because Dongsheng Jun unpacked the package in too short a time and missed some of the codes, so he made an mistake.
Or maybe this is just some kind of hype.
But no matter what, more and more big guys are joining the ranks. They are also unpacking "Heartbeat Dreamland" one after another, hoping to easily locate the codes and end this boring game as soon as possible.
During this process, people often claim that they have found the code for the true ending of "Heartbeat Dreamland".
But soon, these people were slapped in the face. The code they found was simply not enough to realize the true ending of "Heartbeat Dreamland", let alone call up the GM interface.
So after rounds of debates, these people began to dig deeper into the underlying code of "Heartbeat Dreamland", and even wanted to dig deep.
This kind of thing is very troublesome and does not bring any profit, but the atmosphere has been set up to this point, so why don’t you steam the steamed buns to get a good reputation?
So, after rounds of confrontations, the truth began to gradually emerge.
There is really no line of code in the game code that accurately implements the function of this true ending. Even if everyone digs deep, they can''t find how the game calls the GM interface!
This is very fantasy.
After all, most players have a preconceived notion. After seeing the report on Shaowan Game Network, they all tried it and found that they could indeed play the true ending and unlock GM tools in this way, so they took it for granted. This is all officially arranged content.
After all, it''s a meta game, so don''t be too surprised by what happens inside and outside the game.
But now, when the preconception fog has been cleared, the players are all confused.
It''s not an official design, so how did you get this ending?
Could it be that it really is a miracle?
AI has awakened, right? The Omnic Crisis is about to begin, right?
Obviously, no one believes that the current AI can achieve this level, and it is impossible to really make a character in the game awaken to self-awareness. Even the fake-AI development team themselves don’t believe it.
But in the current situation, in the final analysis, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that in order to complete the relevant functions of the meta game, Nitiantian gave the fake-AI corresponding permissions, causing the AI ??to mistakenly call the GM interface due to some special bugs when controlling the guide to delete and modify the game files. .
If this is the case, then this should be an out-and-out bug. The so-called "true ending" is just a bug state where the game freezes unexpectedly.
The second is that Nitian deliberately does not use code to create related functions, but deliberately guides it in the process of training the AI, using sideways methods to shape the AI''s behavior pattern, so that the AI ??can finally use the guide''s authority. The content of the game has been changed to allow the game to finally enter this "true ending" state.
But after all, no matter what the situation is, this thing is outrageous enough!
