Chapter 395: Delete Alice's files
Chapter 395: Deleting Alice’s files
"Deleting or copying character files does not seem to have any critical consequences, and the impact on the game is also a priority.
"Isn't that the problem?
"Hey, wait, why are there Alice's files in here too?"
Zhang Qifeng suddenly frowned and realized that he seemed to have discovered a blind spot.
So far, he has simply tested various operations.
Directly deleting a character file that should exist in a game will cause an archive error and cannot be read.
But if you paste other archived files over, it can run normally.
In general, even if these files are pasted together, it will not have a fundamental impact on the game content.
If it is a female character that has not been activated by the player, it doesn't matter if you delete the file, because when the archive is run and the character goes to the island, the character's file will be automatically created in the folder.
But there is only one character that is different.
That's Elios!
Because Elrios exists as a guide, although she is a character in the game, she cannot be conquered at all.
There is no story line with the players, there will not be any intimate interactions, and there will be no data such as favorability.
Even if players go to the front desk to communicate with Arios, they can only assign her to complete some basic functional operations, such as changing the appearance (decoration) of some scenes in the game, choosing to activate new props in the mall, etc.
Of course, there is an option to chat, and there is a lot of dialogue, but players basically won’t go to repeated locations.
Because everyone knows that the character dialogues in this game are basically generated by fake AI. The amount of text itself is extremely large, and there are a large number of meaningless dialogues mixed with a few golden sentences.
Chatting with other female characters can increase your favorability and may also unlock some special plots or mechanisms.
But Elrios is not a target, so chatting with her has no benefit at all.
In this case, players will not spend too much time on her. After all, the girls in this game have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all very beautiful. Arios cannot stand out from the crowd.
Even as an instructor, her personality seems a bit thin, and she doesn't have the distinctive personality traits like other girls.
But in the root directory, there are also Alice's character files.
Zhang Qifeng couldn't help but rub his chin and fell into deep thought.
“It stands to reason that there is absolutely no need for the official to release her documents.
"Because the character files here are probably not real game data, but part of the game mechanism?
"So, what will happen if I delete Alice's files?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Qifeng made a quick decision and deleted it!
Not a trace of hesitation.
After all, he has done similar operations many times. Even if the archive is damaged after deletion, it is not a big problem. He can just make a copy from another archive.
After the deletion was completed, Zhang Qifeng entered the game again. What happened in front of him shocked him: the game could be loaded normally, and Elrios was indeed missing!
This is quite outrageous. According to Zhang Qifeng's guess, the game will most likely report an error and then cancel the save file. There is a small chance that nothing will happen. After all, Alice's data should be stored elsewhere.
However, there is really no presence of Elrios in the game.
Sitting at the guidance desk, the person responsible for receiving players and handling related matters became Arvette.
"Huh? Is this okay?"
Zhang Qifeng was a little confused. He observed carefully and found that this change had no manifestation at all in the game, as if there was no Alice as a person from the beginning.
The first letter of Arvette is A, so it is ranked first in the folder by default. Zhang Qifeng is different from Professor Ding. He did not choose Arvite before, but chose Sakura, so Arvite should not be on the island yet.
All the tasks originally performed by Elios were replaced and all were completed by Arvette.
Zhang Qifeng wanted to distinguish the specific differences between the two. In the end, he found that except for the slightly different lines, the other functions were exactly the same.
“The lines are different, maybe it’s because fake AI is used?
"There are differences in tone words and speaking habits. Alice is more gentle, while Arvette seems to be more aloof and cold.
"But overall, the differences are small or even negligible.
"The dialogue aspect should be done by fake AI, but changing roles and becoming a receptionist must be part of the game content, right? After all, this kind of thing must be specially developed!"
Zhang Qifeng couldn't help but feel refreshed. Although he had not found the real hidden mechanism at this time, deleting files changed the gameplay, which showed that he was on the right path.
Continuing to advance the game, Zhang Qifeng soon discovered that the horror content in the game seemed to have completely disappeared!
At first, he thought he was lucky. After all, the horror content in this game was triggered randomly, but it wasn’t until he played for more than an hour that he realized that it was really gone!
After all, the triggering time of previous horror content basically ranged from 5 minutes to 30 minutes.
In the early stages of the game, this time will be relatively long, and the game will patiently wait for the player to take the bait. However, once the horror content appears for the first time, the subsequent appearance time will be greatly shortened, and it will definitely be triggered once within 30 minutes.
But now Zhang Qifeng has been playing nervously for more than an hour, but nothing happened.
The relationship with the girl is still normal, and various activities are unlocked normally, but Arvette is no longer among the options for girls to invite.
After all, she is already serving as a guide on the island and can no longer appear as a raidable character.
"This is a lot of information. Could it be that the previous horror game content was actually created by Arios?
“Otherwise why would she disappear after deleting her?
"Arvette can also be the guide, so if I delete Arvette, will it be passed on in the order of the folders?
"Then if all the files are deleted in the end, will I be the only one left in the Garden of Eden?
"Or should I copy Alice's files now? Will it be Alice or Arvette who will be in charge of reception on the island?
"Isn't it possible to turn Elrios into a conquerable character through this operation??"
Zhang Qifeng suddenly had many ideas in his mind, because once he discovered the "off-board moves", the number of cool operations that players could do obviously increased.
Although it is still unclear how these cool operations are related to the gameplay, Zhang Qifeng vaguely feels that there seem to be many mysteries in this game waiting for him to uncover.
