Chapter 399: Rename file
Chapter 399 Renaming Files
The current situation can be said to be quite bad. The key is that Zhang Qifeng can't think of a solution at all.
Although you can go back to the previous archive and continue the game, Sakura's favorability level can no longer be advanced. Once you continue to advance, the file will be deleted directly and an error will be reported.
If you copy it again, it will be mysteriously deleted immediately.
Obviously, this is different from the initial deletion of files. The only question is what is the reason for this difference.
So far, Zhang Qifeng has collected a lot of information in the game.
If it were other players, they would probably be at their wits' end at this point. They could only choose to post angrily about Ni Tian on the Internet, or continue playing from the previous level and find a new girl to guide.
But Zhang Qifeng guessed that this would probably treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Once the favorability of the next girl reaches the third level again, this problem will inevitably occur.
"Could it be that... it's still a problem with the guide?
“The files were deleted both times, but the details of the deletion were different.
"Is this because the first time the guide was Eleos, and the second time the guide was Arvette?"
Some text information collected before made Zhang Qifeng firm up this guess.
Obviously, there was something wrong with Arvette's previous diary. She actually felt that she could see something through the male protagonist's pupils. She even vaguely felt the player's presence and realized that she was not peering in, but looking out.
Instead, the person on the other side was actually peering inward at her.
This speculation began to become more and more certain as the game time went by, and Arvette's subsequent written materials began to show more and more doubts about this state.
These words at this time gave Zhang Qifeng the feeling that they were a bit similar to the confessions of a character living in The Truman World.
They can feel that they are being controlled by some kind of force, and there seem to be many unreasonable behaviors in their lives. They feel strange, but the reactions of people around them seem normal, and even make them feel There's just something wrong with my own mind.
Arvette was like this at this time. Judging from the subsequent text content, she obviously began to have more and more doubts about the world.
She wonders why she was chosen as the guide, why she keeps behaving strangely, and who is peering at her through the eyes of the male protagonist.
Although it is not clear from the text whether these suspicions will drive her to do some dangerous behavior, but combined with this information, Zhang Qifeng can already make some strong guesses.
"Could it be that…"
Zhang Qifeng thought for a while, and finally opened the root directory of the game and clicked on Arvet's file with the mouse.
Obviously, he had roughly guessed that all this was probably caused by Arvette.
It should have been the same before, but the usher at that time was Elios.
Obviously, although the guide profession looks inconspicuous in the game, just like a simple tool man, in fact, it has quite outrageous authority in the deep settings of the game.
After becoming a guide, according to the game's settings, these AIs seem to be given a lot of permissions and even have the ability to think for themselves.
They will examine all behaviors and phenomena around them, and may even be vaguely aware of the presence of players. This may be because the other characters follow the established script process, but the guide himself does not have the opportunity to fall in love with the protagonist.
It may be because more time is spent on calculations, or it may be because the underlying logic of the AI is different. In short, once these characters become guides and have corresponding permissions, they seem to gradually become aware of the existence of players. And engage in some "permission dog" excesses.
For example, delete files of other characters.
Obviously, as a guide, Arvite also likes the protagonist, or in other words, the players behind the protagonist, but due to system limitations, she has no way to have any substantial interaction or contact with the players, so she can only remain silent. Play the role of tool man properly.
She could only watch as the relationship between the player and another female character became closer and closer, confessing to each other, and accumulating all kinds of sweet moments.
After catching up with this female character, the player will use the invitation letter to invite another female character, and the cycle continues.
Although the guide has the highest authority in the game, he will never be noticed by the players. After all, the underlying rules of the game limit everything.
Zhang Qifeng has already guessed that if Arvite's files are deleted, this problem may be temporarily solved.
Just like when Elrios was deleted, after deleting Arvette, the system will assign a new female character to be the guide.
At this time, because the new guide has not yet awakened, Zhang Qifeng can freely and unrestrictedly advance the game's plot for a period of time.
He can activate the third stage of full friendship CG with Sakura, or he can invite a new woman to the island to continue developing an intimate relationship.
But this is obviously still treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, because as time goes by, the new guide will inevitably gradually wake up and become like Elrios and Arvette, using their own authority to delete in-game content. Character files.
"Then wouldn't this become an endless cycle?"
Zhang Qifeng was scratching his head. Now he didn't understand what the game wanted him to do.
Obviously, so far, the content of this game has gone beyond the scope of ordinary romance games or horror games. It has some meta game elements, allowing the characters in the game to have a certain connection with real players, but it is obvious that Its goal is not to let players delete all their character files and then play alone.
Seeing a deadlock, Zhang Qifeng didn't know what to do.
Re-copying Sakura's files doesn't work, deleting Arvette's files doesn't work, copying Elrios's files doesn't work either...
Suddenly, Zhang Qifeng had an idea: "Wait, maybe this will work?"
He found Arvette's files in the folder.
Then, Zhang Qifeng copied and pasted the file, then clicked Rename and copied Ying's file name into it.
In other words, a document that was renamed "Sakura" but actually belonged to Arvette was created.
After finishing the tossing, Zhang Qifeng tried to open the game again.
He was not sure whether this operation would work. After all, it would probably not have any effect in other games.
But "Dreamland" is not a traditional game after all. We have copied and deleted files so many times before. Renaming files should also be within the scope of the game, right?
Sure enough, Zhang Qifeng was overjoyed that the latest save file of the game was loaded and ran smoothly!
