Inebriation-seeking Blue Shirt

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG"

Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game.
As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics:
At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage.
However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit!
So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic."
In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness:
"Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel).
"I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Why the bug I wrote became a core gameplay mechanic?!

Zhuge Jun suddenly sat up from the bed, "I just received it, too. Could this be a world task pushed according to the server time?"


"Qing Lin... isn't that the character you first got from the gacha?"


Both of them found it strange. The triggering method of this world task was quite odd, wasn't it?


Generally speaking, there are two most common types of punishment mechanisms for such tasks: one is unlocked with the progression of task lines, for example, after a player completes all the main quests, a special world task is unlocked; the other is triggered by region, meaning as soon as a player arrives at a certain area or meets a certain character, the task triggers.


And this time, the task was triggered with the server time.


Is there such a practice? Of course, there is. For example, when a game updates a version and launches a new event task, it is pushed to all players according to server time.
