Chapter 37: Why Are You Wearing Tong Que's Clothes?

Bitter Moon's video sharing group is a game group with over 300 people.

This group isn't large, but it's quite active.

As soon as his video was posted, it was quickly seen by dozens of players.

Unsurprisingly, they were also aroused with great interest, some sharing the video to other groups, and others immediately testing it themselves.

Temporary network disconnections leading to game bugs are not uncommon in the ACG game circle.

Since Four-Dimensional Games took the lead in multi-platform interoperability, other ACG game companies have followed suit if they could.

To some extent, this has led to the proliferation of the "network disconnection and reconnection bug" issue.

After all, mobile phones are more likely to accidentally trigger bugs, and as long as one person discovers it, other netizens can easily replicate it.

The only test is the timing of disconnecting the network.

Now, that's the case.

This accident spread rapidly... At the same time, another more serious bug was spreading—a character Modeling Department issue.

The cause of the matter was a player with the ID Qi Er Ee Ee.

Qi Er Ee Ee usually loves to roam around in various groups, collecting and forwarding all kinds of lewd pictures, and has slowly gained a special ability—to identify character cup sizes with the naked eye.

The accuracy is extremely high.

But only for virtual characters.

When the Frost Snow Project released Real Machine footage of the characters, he sensitively noticed that something was wrong.

After the maintenance today, he opened Bai Wei's clothing page and switched back and forth between the old Combat Outfit and the new JK uniform Lush Spring Scenery.

Although the character's body posture also changes when switching clothes, Qi Er Ee Ee immediately determined:

Bai Wei's chest has gotten bigger!

After changing into the new clothes, the character is at least three cup sizes bigger than before!

"This... buying clothes also comes with breast augmentation surgery?" Qi Er Ee Ee kept switching back and forth between Bai Wei's old and new clothes, becoming more and more surprised as he compared them.

Switching more often, he found that the difference between the two was not just the size—

When wearing old clothes, Bai Wei's whole body was integrated, no matter what action she made, her chest and butt were as hard as rocks.

But after putting on the new clothes, the shaking was so colorful, lively, and attractive.

In terms of character facial details, action richness, and smoothness, the new version has also widened the gap with the old version.

It's not even the same level of character!

"So... it's not just changing clothes, but changing the whole person?"

Qi Er Ee Ee realized belatedly.

He switched back and forth, watching Bai Wei's twirling motion when switching to new clothes, and was mesmerized.

This action, combined with Bai Wei's rule-breaking figure and the small section of blue and white underwear revealed when the short skirt flutters, is both sexy and youthful.

It's really charming and never gets old.

Until Qi Er Ee Ee switched clothes again, the character's upper body model suddenly glitched—

Bai Wei changed back to her old clothes, but the front of the new clothes was still there.

This caused the larger chest after the remake to appear outside the old version of the Combat Outfit, which was adapted to a smaller cup size.

It's not revealing, but the whole body is covered in a tight Combat Outfit, with only a piece of JK clothing exposed in front of the chest, which looks really abrupt.

Qi Er Ee Ee stopped in surprise.

"Is this... a texture error?"

He looked at the JK clothes protruding from the outside of the Combat Outfit, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a good idea.

First, he searched online for what type of monster could cause Bai Wei's Clothing Destruction.

After confirming it was a Corrupted Slime, he controlled Bai Wei to find the monster and get beaten up, successfully triggering the Clothing Destruction effect from the slime's ejected mucus.

Then, he quickly switched to the costume page.

——Here, the new costume display also changed to Battle Damage state.

In the game's settings, characters need to return to the teleport point or use items to restore Battle Damaged costumes.

Of course, Qi Er Ee Ee wouldn't restore it at this time, and he started quickly switching between new and old costumes again.

However, the triggering principle of this display error was unknown, and it took him almost half an hour of switching before he finally triggered it again.

But looking at Bai Wei, who was wrapped tightly but had her pink bra and most of her chest exposed, Qi Er Ee Ee smiled contentedly.

Then came—

Screenshot, screen recording, mass sending!

How could he not widely share such a pleasing bug with his group of friends?

His friends had similar ideas.

As a result, this bug quickly spread.

For a time, countless busybodies began to imitate, wanting to recreate this effect on other characters.

And when there are many people, accidents are prone to happen, and more chain bugs began to appear one after another—

As one of the two most popular characters—He Yin, she luckily escaped this disaster because the main sexy points after the remake weren't her breasts.

But Tong Que, who was also extremely popular and had top-notch figure, appearance, and Modeling Department precision, suffered a bit more severely.

Even due to display problems caused by Modeling Department overlap bugs, players discovered a shocking secret—

Zhu Meng actually completely modeled the character's body under Tong Que's clothes! On Tong Que's chest, which was exposed due to the erroneous display, two points could be vaguely seen, although not completely exposed, their shape and color could be faintly discerned.

This was completely different from the industry's common practice!

In the industry's common practice, the character's body only has a base model, and the clothes and body are actually grown together.

But Tong Que, it seemed, actually had a separate body model!

The streamer who first discovered this in a live broadcast was immediately banned for a month.

Related pictures circulated wildly.

At the same time—Tong Que's banner revenue also became more turbulent, and countless players began to wildly pull cards.

More players were also stimulated and began to try to replicate this bug.

Not just Tong Que, all characters whose figures had obviously become more explosive after the remake were all on the list for testing.

Then, as they tested, a deeper bug surfaced—

[Costume Error] This bug was different from the [Network Disconnection Reconnection] and [Texture Error] bugs that players had seen before:

When a character frequently changes costumes, to the point where display errors of costume overlap occur, if the "Clothing Destruction animation" is triggered again, there is a very small probability that after the Clothing Destruction animation ends, the character will wear another character's Battle Damaged costume.

Yes, someone else's.

A player with the ID [Electronic Edison] triggered Huo Huo's Clothing Destruction animation while using Huo Huo's card to display the bug.

Huo Huo was wearing a bikini top with a transparent sunscreen shirt and denim Short Shorts, a truly energetic girl.

When the Clothing Destruction animation was triggered, it looked normal—

The entire sunscreen shirt instantly exploded, and the denim Short Shorts also had openings on both sides, revealing full and sturdy thighs.

But after the animation ended, Huo Huo was wearing a golden chain dress.

Electronic Edison was dumbfounded: "Huo Huo... why are you wearing Tong Que's clothes??"

Huo Huo's height was not as tall as Tong Que's, and wearing this dress didn't fit well, and some places inevitably had clipping issues. If you looked closely, it was a bit strange.

But when Electronic Edison posted the screenshot on Dream Ferry, a large group of players couldn't wait to reply, asking him how he did it.

They also wanted to change their characters' clothes! When more and more posts discussing game bugs appeared in Dream Ferry, the employees of Zhu Meng's operations department immediately noticed these problems.

But they weren't technical staff, so they could only panic and collect the bugs and report them upwards.

In the end, all these problems were concentrated in Xu Meng's hands.

Thus, Xu Meng knew that the price of the entire company's month of high-intensity overtime to produce new content, and the greatly shortened internal testing cycle, was beginning to show.

But—

Xu Meng had ideas for all the previous bugs, except for the one where Huo Huo was wearing Tong Que's clothes, which made him stare blankly.

He racked his brains trying to figure out why such a bug would occur.
