Chapter 136 An unexpected gain

Chapter 136 An unexpected gain

Guo Mo was very distressed.

It's not about money, he's not short of money either. Although the live broadcast isn't particularly popular, he still has no problem making money to support his family.

The source of his distress lies in...

The new game released by Tianba Studio is the game "Love Staff". He has been playing it for so long, but he has never met the right person.

Isn't this wrong?

Doesn’t it mean that you can find a partner by playing this game? Why has he been playing for so long and gained nothing?

At first, he thought he was just unlucky. But later, after in-depth discussions with friends in the live broadcast room, he discovered that this had nothing to do with luck. It was simply that the game’s matching pool was too shallow.

Due to the gender imbalance among gamers and the prominent problem of yang and yang, there are always only a few players who find a partner in the game.

Really a minority!

With hundreds of thousands of players, it’s impossible for everyone to find the person they like and have a sweet love relationship, right?

This is impossible and unrealistic!

Even if "Love Counselor" is really that magical, no matter how powerful the matching mechanism is, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of people to find online dating partners at the same time.

Most players play this game with the idea of ​​engaging in online dating...

The same goes for Guo Mo.

But after playing it, I realized that I was not the lucky one at all, and there were no players of the opposite sex who were very compatible with me in the matching pool.

"Xiao Mo, why don't you forget it?"

"What we are saying is that if you really can't meet the right person, it would be a good idea to follow the nature of the game and find a paper person to fall in love with!"

"That's right! You've been playing for several months, you should be tired of it, right?"

"Starry Sky Emperor, activate!"

The old viewers in the live broadcast room felt that Guo Mo still got nothing after playing this game for so long, and normal people should have given up long ago.

Although "Love Staff" has sold millions of copies across all platforms, it only has hundreds of thousands of active players. Excluding the male players who account for 77%, how many players of the opposite sex can meet the requirements?

If you can’t find it, just stop looking!

Although this game is amazing, it is not the only way to get rid of being single. If you want to find a partner, there are many other ways, so why do you have to stick to this game?

"That makes sense..."

After being in the game for several months and never meeting the right person, Guo Mo was indeed a little disappointed and he also agreed with the analysis of the audience in the live broadcast room.

It’s really time to let it go!

In fact, this is a matter of fate. His fate has not arrived, but Zhang Pengfei's has, so their situations are very different.

"I listen to you. Starting from tomorrow, I will uninstall this game. From now on, I will live broadcast "Star Emperor" and not think about those illusory things."

Guo Mo sighed.

Zhang Pengfei's posts gave him too many unrealistic fantasies and made many people, including him, rekindle their yearning for love.

But it turns out that a game is just a game after all, and he doesn't deserve love.

It’s also good to stop losses in time.

At least he can still think about this, unlike some people who are so obsessed with playing this game that they spend at least 18 hours of the 24 hours a day in "Love Staff" just to meet the "not sure whether it exists" people.

Be reasonable...

This is really Zhang Pengfei’s fault!

The posts he posted were really inspiring and made many people yearn for them.

But the reality is cruel. The number of players in "Love Staff" is limited, and the matching pool does not support so many players to find Bai Yueguang or Prince Charming.

"Let's have some fun one last time!"

Guo Mo, who decided to withdraw, also let go of his obsession, no longer had any illusions about love, and just simply enjoyed the game.

Don’t even say it!

After letting go of his obsession, Guo Mo suddenly discovered that there was actually a lot worth exploring in this game.

Pseudo open world!

Although the word "pseudo" is not an open world in the true sense, it is enough to show that the degree of freedom in the game is really high.

"One thing to say."

"Although I haven't found a partner, I feel that these game friends I met before through matching are quite compatible..."

Guo Mo looked through his friends list and realized that he hadn't really gained anything in the past few months.

I don’t have many friends of the opposite sex, but I have a lot of good buddies with similar interests. Although these good buddies are just friends in the game, they really like him, and there is a feeling that they meet each other too late.

If this were to happen in real life, they would be like brothers with different surnames!

To be honest, Guo Mo couldn't bear to lose these friends suddenly.

It happened that most of them were online, so Guo Mo invited them one by one to come to his world, intending to have a good chat and leave their phone number or contact information.

In this way, even if you no longer play the game, you can still keep in touch and avoid losing these "compatible" Internet buddies.

"My real name is Guo Mo, a game anchor contracted by Pili Pili. You can just call me Xiao Mo. I will add you as a WeChat friend later and I will post on the public screen..."

Before Guo Mo finished speaking, an exclamation came from the voice channel: "Guo Mo? Is your father's name Guo Zhenghui?"

"Ah? How do you know?"

A game friend was able to accurately name his father, which surprised Guo Mo.

Is it an acquaintance?

"What a coincidence! I'm Guo Qingwen. I often went to your house to play when I was a kid. Do you still remember?"

"Qingwen?"

Guo Mo didn't remember who this was at first, but he soon realized that this wasn't his clan brother from his hometown!

In his hometown village, the surname Guo is a common surname. Although everyone may not have the same generational name, they are actually very close relatives.

Guo Qingwen was the only son of an uncle who we often played with when we were young.

Although many years have passed, Guo Mo has forgotten the appearance of this childhood friend. But the two of them are real good friends who have been playing together since they wore crotchless pants.

"Are you Guo Mo? Do you know Yuhua Primary School? My name is Feng Renyong!"

"Feng Renyong from Yuhua Primary School?!"

Guo Mo was shocked to meet his childhood friend in the game. What he never expected was that one of his friends was a classmate in elementary school.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining few people also revealed their identities.

One is the cousin of Feng Renyong’s wife, and the other is Guo Qingwen’s college classmate…

After spending a long time, they were all familiar faces!

However, these acquaintances are all connected through the key figure Guo Mo. If they didn't reveal their identities, no one would have guessed each other's identities.

"Fuck!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

What kind of magical matching mechanism is this? None of Guo Mojia's game friends were added on his own initiative. They were all players automatically matched by the game system.

Everyone thought he was a stranger.

As a result, when I asked them their names and identities, I realized that it turned out that they were all acquaintances or people with connections.

"Oh, that's not right!"

Guo Mo called five friends over to chat. Four of them were all acquaintances in various ways. They might not have met in person, but they could still have a relationship.

But why did the fifth game friend never speak to him from beginning to end?

"Brother, you are not me, or an acquaintance of them, are you?"

"no!"

The friend said awkwardly: "You and I don't know each other. The only thing we have in common is that my surname is Guo. I wonder if this is a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence!"

After learning that this fifth friend was finally not an acquaintance of Guo Mo, or an acquaintance of anyone else, Guo Mo and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

fine!

There is a high probability that this is just a coincidence, and the matching mechanism is really not smart enough.

But as everyone continued chatting, they unexpectedly learned something.

That is this friend who also has the surname Guo. He is actually a child adopted by his parents from an orphanage. His adoptive father is not surnamed Guo.

"What a coincidence!"

Guo Qingwen said: "Guo Mo should also remember that a child was lost in Guo Pao's family in our village. No matter how hard he looked for it, he couldn't find it. He should be about the same age as you..."

"That seems to be the case."

Guo Mo thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case in his memory. In terms of age, they are indeed right, but it really can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Really? Where is the Guo Dapao you mentioned now? Can you leave me a phone number and I can ask him later?"

"no problem."

Guo Mo and Guo Qingwen didn't think much about it. They just felt that there was a high probability that they were not the same person. After all, they were thousands of kilometers apart. How could there be such a coincidence?

But it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

After the previous self-exposure, the magic of the matching mechanism has been fully verified. What if it is really the same person?

Two days later, Guo Mo told the audience through a live broadcast that there was the latest progress in this matter, and they would meet offline for paternity verification. It seemed that the two were really the same person.

When the inspection report came out and it was confirmed that it was the same person, Guo Mo's live broadcast room was filled with excitement.

This incident also spread throughout the Internet.

Countless people are surprised by the magical matching mechanism of "Love Staff". How can these people be matched together?

soon!

Other players also took turns to come out to prove that the matching mechanism of this game, leaving aside the opposite sex, the proportion of acquaintances among players of the same sex is indeed very high.

A player from Hanjiang Province posted on the community that through the game "Love Staff", he had collected the contact information of half of the class in elementary school.

How did you collect them all?

He himself has several friends who were classmates in elementary school, and these friends also have several other friends who were classmates in elementary school...

This is so unexpected!

You must know that after more than ten or twenty years, those former playmates and good friends have long been scattered across the country, and many of their contact information have been lost.

As a result, everyone can be reunited through a game, which is simply a miracle!

"Are there many such examples?"

The inter-provincial recognition of relatives in Guo Mo's live broadcast room and the reunion of elementary school classmates gave Chen Ba a new understanding of the matching mechanism of "Love Staff".

But he also had a doubt.

Is there more than one such thing? It shouldn’t be! The player base is just that small, so there shouldn’t be that many familiar people!

"Not many, very rare!"

Yang Dong shook his head and explained: "But another phenomenon is quite common, that is, people from the same unit, company, group, and school can easily match together."

"???"

Chen Ba had a question mark on his face.

What kind of weird mechanism is this? Can the system still identify the units, companies, groups and schools to which the players belong?

We agreed to socialize with strangers, but why did they all turn into adults?

"Not all acquaintances..."

Yang Dong thought for a moment and said: "It's still the same logic. Matching will be based on compatibility and interests. But is there a possibility that someone with similar interests to you is actually around you?"

You like skateboarding, so you probably know the skateboarding friends around you. Obviously you get along well with them?

Is this an acquaintance?

"What if I like to travel and drive, but I don't have friends with the same hobbies or interests?" Xiao Lu interjected.

"That would match a stranger."

Chen Ba frowned and explained: "But this situation is relatively rare. After all, your conditions are too harsh. How is it possible that you don't have a friend with whom you can talk?"

"In other words, I have this kind of friend or acquaintance, but he doesn't play "Love Staff", so I will still match with strangers?"

"right!"

Chen Ba nodded, and then said: "I understand what you mean! What you actually want to say is that using "Love Staff" to find a partner is actually overkill, and the real purpose is to find like-minded people?"

Finding a partner is secondary.

The biggest role of the matching mechanism in "Love Staff" is to allow players to expand their social circles and make more like-minded friends.

And this kind of like-minded friends may be around you, but you just don't notice them or don't think about them at all.

These incidents exposed on the Internet just prove one point.

The matching mechanism understands you better than you do. It is clear that like-minded friends are around you, but many people fail to discover them. Instead, they need the matching mechanism to discover them.

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Lu was very confused. What does it mean that the matching mechanism knows better than you do yourself?

"It's not so much that the system matches all acquaintances, it's better to say that it matches good friends who I don't usually have much contact with, but who actually have great potential for development."

Chen Ba explained: "If you are not matched together, will you notice these acquaintances around you who you know but have no intersection with each other?"

"Won't……"

"That's alright! There's nothing wrong with the matching mechanism. We're not giving priority to acquaintances."

Chen Ba figured it out.

This is not a deliberate assignment of acquaintances. This is clearly an excellent matching mechanism telling you: You have searched for him through hundreds of search engines, but when you suddenly look back, that person is in the dim light!

Guo Mo and Guo Qingwen are acquaintances.

But how many years have they not contacted each other? Who would have thought that they would get along so well? Who would have thought that the most suitable friend would be him?

If it weren't for the game "Love Staff", these two people would probably never meet again.

No doubt, it must be so.

Without being matched together or revealing their identities, they would not be able to say a word in the next few decades, let alone find out that they missed a buddy who was so compatible with them.

From this perspective, although most players such as Guo Mo have not found the target, they have gained nothing?
