In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

While 《Frost and Snow Project》 was becoming popular and generating revenue, some less-than-ideal things were also happening.

Players logged into the game, and of course, they wouldn't just draw cards, admire them for a bit, and then log off.

After getting new characters, they always want to run around the open world and try out their weapons.

But with a much larger player base than before, these activities caused many issues that weren't discovered during internal testing to suddenly emerge in clusters—

The Heroic Sniper was creating a "clothing destruction guide," running around the map with each remade character, looking for different types of monsters to get beaten up by.

He tested and recorded in a small notebook at hand.

At first, everything went smoothly.

Until he switched to Heyin and started testing mechanical beast-type monsters.

Heyin was knocked away by a monster, cried out in pain, and fell to the ground, but quickly flipped over and stood up, her clothes completely unharmed.

"Looks like mechanical types won't work." The Heroic Sniper shook his head, controlling Heyin to unleash her ultimate skill, intending to quickly kill these two small monsters and move on to testing the next type.

Heyin's ultimate skill was as beautiful and captivating as ever, both sexy and cool.

But just as the ultimate skill animation ended, and the Sniper gained the [Wind Riding] buff, leaping into the air, another monster crashed into her!

Caught off guard, the Sniper could only watch as the monster rammed into Heyin's waist.

And then—

Heyin flew out.

Not the kind of flying where she "flies dozens of meters away and can flip over and stand up" like before.

But—

As if she had broken free from the planet's gravity, no longer bound by gravity, she flew straight into the sky!

The Heroic Sniper was dumbfounded.

The viewers were also stunned, but soon, a clever one reacted:

"Crow sits on a plane!"

"Heyin rocket launch successful! Jiuquan heard! Xiajing heard! Investigators heard!"

"So Heyin's ultimate skill can really counteract gravity?"

"We have the most realistic physics engine!"

"Wait! This is a bug, right? Great opportunity! Quickly see if Heyin is wearing anything underneath!"

… …

"?" The Sniper was taken aback. "People are already in the sky, and you're still thinking about underwear? You're a bit perverted, bro!"

But soon, he also realized—in normal circumstances, Zhumei would definitely not allow characters to reveal anything they shouldn't.

But this isn't a normal situation! This is a bug!

Maybe there's hope?

"But wait a minute, I'll set a one-minute delay on the stream, or I might die."

The Heroic Sniper quickly set up the live stream, frantically moving the mouse up and down, the scroll wheel clicking loudly, and the space bar slamming.

But unfortunately, no matter how he operated, that damn hemline always blocked his view.

The viewers were very disappointed.

The Heroic Sniper was also very disappointed, and could only look at the increasingly distant land to find some amusement.

He also knew that there were many new players in the live stream, so he took the opportunity to introduce them:

"This is Silver City, it looks really small from this perspective."

"This is the Void Abyss, a high-level area, the monsters are ridiculously strong, it's best to avoid it when exploring."

"This is the Tree Sea, the place with the most plants in 《Frost and Snow Project》, the scenery is good, but it's easy to drop frames and overheat when playing on a phone."

"This is…"

"?"

"Wait! What the hell is this? When did an island appear over there? ?"

The Heroic Sniper was dumbfounded: "Has anyone noticed this?"

Immediately, an old player replied: "Notice what?! It's so far away, you can't see it from the seaside at all. You can see it purely because your perspective is too high."

The Heroic Sniper's perspective was indeed high. At this time, he looked down, and the world map began to show a clear curve.

—Zhumei didn't create a planet, this visual effect is purely a lens issue.

The Heroic Sniper read the viewer's reply, thoughtfully.

After patiently waiting for Heyin to fly out of the atmosphere, and the game world had turned into a blue and white glass ball, he stopped admiring the spectacle and forcibly quit the game, then logged in again.

But next, he didn't continue to make the clothing destruction guide, but temporarily adjusted his plan.

"Brothers, the clothing destruction guide can wait, I feel like that island might be future content!"

"I'll go explore the way for everyone first!"

He charged up Heyin's ultimate skill again, ran to the seaside to find a monster that could knock the character away, trying to use this flying bug to fly directly over the island for a high-altitude close-up reconnaissance.

But this operation was extremely demanding on skill and luck, and couldn't be done in a short time.

He began a cycle of repeatedly being knocked away and logging out and back in.

Coincidentally, an ordinary player with the ID [Bitter Moon] also encountered a bug.

Bitter Moon was playing the game on his phone on the train. He had a 5-hour train ride today, and he brought a power bank to pass the time, so he had no pressure playing the game.

Limited by the train being a public space and there being too many people, he was a little embarrassed to lick the phone screen, and even more dared not openly act crazy towards the characters.

So, after secretly admiring them for a while, he controlled the new characters to do limited-time events.

Most of the workload in 《Frost and Snow Project》's remake was on the characters, so the game events were actually designed earlier.

The event plot is not complicated:

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

A scientist in Silver City is conducting a dangerous experiment—taming corrupted creatures.

Such a dangerous task, of course, requires our legendary investigator to take action.

So the player takes the quest item from him—a lasso—to try to tame corrupted creatures in the wild.

Each lasso can only be used once, and the tamed corrupted creature can exist for 15 minutes.

During this time, it will follow the player and help the player fight monsters.

When the time is up, the corrupted creature will wake up, break free, and return to the wild.

It's such a simple, lightweight little event.

Xu Meng didn't make any changes except to increase the event rewards.

It was just a coincidence—the moment Bitter Moon threw the lasso, the speeding train suddenly rushed into a deep mountain tunnel.

The phone signal disconnected.

Bitter Moon was unaware, still concentrating on the corrupted machine soldier—that is, the corrupted robot—that he had captured on his phone.

But when he successfully captured it and planned to clear out the excess wild monsters, he found that the wild monsters were being beaten back repeatedly, but no damage numbers were popping up at all.

Only then did he look up and realize that the network had been disconnected.

A dozen seconds later, the train exited the tunnel.

The sun shone into the carriage again, and the network quickly returned to normal.

Bitter Moon looked at his phone again, but found that on the health bar of the wild monster that hadn't been killed, a translucent lasso icon symbolizing [Capturable] appeared again.

"Didn't I already use the lasso?"

Bitter Moon opened his backpack and was dumbfounded to see that the lasso was still in the first row.

A question mark slowly appeared.

He habitually opened P station and searched for it, and found that this lasso was indeed a consumable—

Others would disappear after using it, and correspondingly, a hourglass would appear behind the health bar of the captured monster.

When the hourglass disappears, the monster will run away, and only then can the player go to the NPC to ask for a second lasso.

But…

Bitter Moon looked at his game screen.

The lasso was still lying there, not disappearing.

The corrupted machine soldier who was following him to help fight monsters also didn't have an hourglass behind its health bar.

"Encountered a bug?"

Bitter Moon wasn't playing gacha games for the first time. Recalling the signal interruption when he just entered the mountain tunnel, he quickly thought of a possibility:

The network disconnection caused the game to bug!

And soon, he had a bold idea:

"Does this mean that, using this bug, I can infinitely capture monsters, and the captured monsters won't leave?"

Bitter Moon, who was already bored on the train, immediately became interested.

Considering that he only had one phone and the efficiency might be low, he opened the screen recording software and recorded a short video of successfully triggering the bug, sharing it smoothly to the game group—

"@everyone, look what fun thing I found?!"
