Chapter 409: Scammed by a figurine!
November 13, Friday.
At 7pm, Chen Tingquan started the broadcast on time.
"Good evening, everyone.
"Tonight, let's appraise treasures first and then play games.
"Before that, let's unbox a small gadget first.
"Dangdangdangdang!
"Look, the latest second-generation figure of Elliot! This figure was just delivered, let's open a box directly. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first batch of unboxing on the entire network, right?
"The logistics of Ni Tiantang are quite exquisite, it seems that this first batch of figures were delivered at about the same time. "
As Chen Tingquan spoke, he took out a courier box in front of the camera.
Although Chen Tingquan was not particularly attracted to the game "Heartbeat Dreamland", he also played it himself. His favorite character was not Ellios, but after seeing the analysis of the true ending on the Internet, he also had a certain liking for Ellios.
This is obviously the credit of the image design of Against Heaven. The character of Ellios was designed to be a "panacea" from the beginning. Even if most players don't like it at first sight, they will have some good feelings after watching it for a long time.
In addition, the second sale of the figurine was very popular, and many people speculated that it would most likely become a financial product, so Chen Tingquan bought one with a mentality of "no loss if you grab it".
It has to be said that Against Heaven is quite particular about this second batch of figurines.
First of all, there are strict restrictions on the purchase qualifications. Not only can the same account only purchase Buy one, and players also need to link the official platform account and verify it. Players who have played "Heartbeat Dream" for a long time have a higher chance of grabbing it.
Not only that, the grabbed figures 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 also ignore the binding and directly transfer the figures to others, the figures will lose the linkage function with the game and will no longer have any action, which will obviously greatly reduce its appeal.
In addition, the delivery time of this batch of figures seems to have been precisely calculated. Provinces with long distances will be shipped first, and provinces with short distances will be shipped later, which basically ensures that the first batch of customers will receive the goods this afternoon or evening.
It can be regarded as retaining the mystery to the greatest extent, and the veil of the second batch of figures will be kept until the last moment.
"Okay, the exciting moment is here, let's open the box! ”
The shipment volume of the second batch of figures was obviously larger than the first batch, and it was sold out in about half an hour after the sale started. This slightly diluted the joy of the players after grabbing it, but most people are still looking forward to this figure.
"My dear friends, this box is a circle larger than the box of the first generation. It looks like 699 is definitely an upgrade.
"I think the size of the second-generation figures should be about 1/3 larger than the first generation."
As Chen Tingquan spoke, he took the box in his hand, shook it briefly, and weighed it again.
Well, judging from the collision between the product packaging box and the express box inside, it is indeed a circle larger and heavier.
This made Chen Tingquan very happy. He immediately took out a small paper cutter and cut the tape on the packaging box.
However, after opening the box, Chen Tingquan was a little dumbfounded.
It turned out to be a smaller box inside!
It was not the original plastic-sealed packaging of the product, but another paper box.
Moreover, in addition to the foam filling material for cushioning, some supporting structures similar to plastic frames can be clearly seen in the outer packaging box.
These supporting structures can certainly protect the box from deformation, but their greater role is to increase the weight of the packaging box, so that the weight of it in the hand changes significantly.
Chen Tingquan instantly had a bad premonition.
If only the inner packaging box was taken out... Isn't this exactly the same as the first generation!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and unpacked the inner packaging box again. Sure enough, the original plastic packaging of the figure appeared at this time.
Chen Tingquan took out the original packaging of the figure, weighed it in his hand, and then silently unpacked it again and took the figure out from it.
Then, the live broadcast room fell into a long silence.
"This is not the wrong product! !
"What's the difference between this and the first generation figure? "
Chen Tingquan was stunned, because the second-generation figurine he took out was indistinguishable from the first-generation figurine!
He quickly took the original first-generation figurine from the side.
Fortunately, Chen Tingquan's luck was pretty good, the two figurines had different shapes. If the shapes were the same, he would be in tears.
He found an unboxing video of the previous generation figurine on the Internet, found the corresponding shape, and then compared it carefully.
After a long time, he shouted in pain: "This is a rip-off! "
Obviously, the second-generation figurine he received at this time is almost the same as the previous first-generation figurine!
There is no change in size, material, shape, etc.!
If it weren't for the words "second-generation product" clearly written on the packaging box, Chen Tingquan would even think that the official sent the wrong product.
Chen Tingquan was not discouraged 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, on a small figurine, can almost be said to be negligible.
In addition, the biggest difference is that a type-C port is added to the second-generation figurine, hidden under the clothes.
Originally, Chen Tingquan thought that there was some key information hidden here, but after connecting it to the computer, he found that it was not even a storage device. The computer did not read it at all. The only function was to charge the figurine.
Chen Tingquan leaned on the computer chair, holding his forehead with his hand, and did not speak for a long time.
"What is this called..."
"Increase the price but not the quantity? ? ? "
Originally, Chen Tingquan was happy to unbox it, but his good mood disappeared instantly at this time. He felt like that big wronged person who spent 699 to play a water splash, and it only floated for a while before sinking to the bottom.
As for the barrage at this time, it was already laughing crazy.
"Puff! Laughing to death, how can opening a figurine have a show effect?"
"Ah? This is the legendary financial product? The legendary second-generation Eleos figurine?"
"What financial product? It should be a fraudulent product! ”
“I suggest the anchor download the anti-fraud center APP as soon as possible and beware of new scams!”
“It’s so funny, hurry up and return the product. You bought the original 399 product for 699. What a big mistake!”
“Why do you buy the original 399 product for 699? Isn’t it obviously different? There is an extra type-C interface! Selling you 300 yuan for one interface, is there anything wrong with it?”
“It’s really okay. After all, there is an extra socket on the girl. Some things are crucial and can’t be bought with just 300 yuan.”
“It’s a pity that the position of the socket is not right. If it is moved to a key position, it will be worth adding 300 yuan! ”
Looking at these shameless comments, Chen Tingquan was completely speechless.
He really didn't want to do the show effect!
Today was originally fine. He planned to simply open the box after the show started, show off his new model to everyone, and then the matter would be over, but he didn't expect that he would become a laughing stock.
"Forget it, there is no need to return it.
"Keep it for now, maybe in the future... I will have different ideas."
Chen Tingquan looked at the model carefully again, with mixed feelings in his heart.
After all, it is a model with a different shape, and the production is equally exquisite. If it is based on the common model price in the market, this thing is not expensive at 699, it can only be said to be a return to normal price.
But compared with the 399 that the first generation made a lot of money, this normal price also seems abnormal.
This is a kind of anchoring effect. Since the price of this model has been anchored to 399, even if the price becomes normal, most people will feel that it is inflated and not worth it.
As for returns, of course they can be returned. After all, national laws stipulate that most online products enjoy a seven-day no-questions-asked return policy, and figurines are obviously included.
But Chen Tingquan thought about it. After all, this thing was hard to get, and it was different from the previous first-generation figurines. Strictly speaking, the price was still within the normal range, so it was not worth it.
But the barrage did not stop mocking.
"Indeed, maybe you will think differently in the future? Or maybe the more you think about it, the more you feel that you are a big victim!"
"Host, it doesn't matter if you think this figurine is not worth it now. After a few more days, think more about it, and then you will find that this figurine is not only worthless, but it is simply a scam!"
"So the first batch of figurines sold at a loss of 399 were all earned back with the 699 batch, right? Well, well, Ni Tiantang knows how to play."
Chen Tingquan was also helpless. He put the figurine aside, at the edge where the camera could capture it, and then added a line of words on the camera screen, pointing to his big head.
"←It's a big mistake to spend 699 to buy the second-generation Elios figurine!"
Then, Chen Tingquan continued his live broadcast content and appraised treasures for the audience.
It's true that the popularity of this live broadcast room is quite high today, and new viewers have been entering all the time.
But every new viewer who enters always brushes a sentence: "The anchor is so amazing, there are actually two identical first-generation Elios figurines!"
Chen Tingquan was very 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 prepared to chat with the barrage, then play games and go off the air.
A random search on the Internet, as expected, the second-generation Elios figurine has become a hot topic again.
Most of the players who bought the second-generation figurines received the goods almost in the afternoon and evening this day. And after unpacking and inspecting the goods, their reactions were exactly the same as Chen Tingquan's.
"RNM, give me back the money!"
Obviously, if this thing is sold for 399, it is a huge profit, and it is the conscience of the figurine industry; but if it is sold for 699, it is a profiteer, it is a dirty heart and a crime that cannot be punished!
There is already a lot of scolding on the Internet, mixed with a lot of laughter from the people who are just having fun.
Some people even want to organize a "rights protection group" to ask Ni Tian Tang for an explanation.
But this is obviously just angry words. Even if such a rights protection group is really organized, everyone can only complain a few words in the group, and there is no way to really do anything.
Sue Ni Tian Tang? What reason?
False propaganda?
But Ni Tian Tang has never made any promises about the second-generation figurines. What about the second-generation figurines being bigger and changing the shape? All of these are automatically made up by everyone after seeing the price.
Counterfeiting and selling fakes?
That's even more inappropriate, because this figure is an original genuine product, the quality is fine, and the price is within a reasonable range.
After the players cursed, they realized that they had no power to use. They either refunded the money immediately or had to swallow the loss.
Of course, there are a few players who are very open-minded. They think that even if it is sold at 699, this figure is still quite conscientious, not to mention that it has a type-C interface, which can be charged in the future, and it is not a loss to keep it as a collection.
It's just that this kind of player has no voice on the Internet.
Chen Tingquan casually browsed the forums and video websites, and saw that everyone was broken by the second-generation figures, and his mood inexplicably improved.
However, as he browsed, he found 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?
"Didn't I remember watching it a few days ago?
"It's actually some new videos? This..."
So far, the video website is still continuously showing the unpacking videos of "Heartbeat Dreamland", which is obviously quite bizarre.
Because unpacking is not very common, players will not pay much attention to it. At most, it is some action games. Through unpacking, you can see the specific values of some skills or props, the resistance and various attributes of monsters, etc. Most of the unpacked content is completely sufficient to be spread in the form of pure text or tables, and there is no need to publish so many videos to discuss.
After all, in almost all games, unpacking is equivalent to directly looking at the standard answer, and there will not be much controversy.
And things without controversy will naturally not be too popular.
Chen Tingquan clicked on a few videos at random and realized: It turns out that there are so many unpacking videos of "Heartbeat Dreamland" because it is different from other games.
There is a key issue that even so many people have unpacked, but they still don't fully understand!
That is the question raised by Dongshengjun in the first video, how to achieve the true ending in "Heartbeat Dreamland".
When this video first appeared, most people didn't think too much about it.
How else can it be achieved? The code is already written!
After all, according to the normal way of making games, this is the most convenient and stable way, and it can even be said to be the only way.
If it were another game company, let alone really doing it, even if they were asked to think of other ways, they would not be able to think of it.
As for why Dongshengjun said this is an unsolved mystery?
Perhaps it is because Dongshengjun unpacked the package in too short a time and missed some of the codes, so he made a mistake.
Or maybe this is just some kind of hype.
But no matter what, more and more big guys have joined this ranks, and they have also unpacked "Heartbeat Dreamland" one after another, wanting to easily locate those codes and end this boring game as soon as possible.
In this process, there are often people who 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 not enough to achieve the true ending of "Heartbeat Dreamland", let alone call up the GM interface.
So after rounds of arguments, these people began to dig deeper into the underlying code of "Heartbeat Dreamland", and even wanted to dig deep into the ground.
This kind of thing is very troublesome and there is no benefit, but the atmosphere has been set to this point, so why not try to save face!
So, after rounds of confrontation, the truth began to gradually surface.
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 into the ground, they can't find how this game calls the GM interface!
This is very mysterious.
After all, most players have a preconceived concept. After seeing the report on Shaowan Game Network, they also tried it and found that they can indeed get the true ending and unlock the GM tool in this way, so they naturally think that this is all the official arrangement.
After all, it's a meta game, so there's no need to be too surprised by what happens inside and outside the game.
But now, when the preconceived fog is broken, the players are all confused.
If it's not designed by the official, then how did this ending come about?
Could it be a miracle?
AI awakened, right? Is the crisis of the intelligent machines about to begin?
Obviously, no one believes that the current AI can achieve this level. It is impossible to make a character in the game awaken self-awareness. Even the development team of fake-AI themselves do not believe it.
But in the current situation, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that in order to complete the relevant functions of the meta game, Nitiantang gave fake-AI the corresponding permissions, which caused the AI to mistakenly call the GM interface when controlling the guide to delete and modify the game files due to some special bugs.
If this is the case, then this should be an absolute bug, and the so-called "true ending" is just a bug state where the game is accidentally stuck.
The second possibility is that Nitiantang deliberately did not use code to create related functions, but instead deliberately guided the AI in the process of training it, using indirect methods to shape the AI's behavior pattern, so that the AI finally used the guide's authority to change the game content, allowing the game to eventually enter this "true ending" state.
But in the end, no matter which situation it is, this matter is outrageous enough!
