This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 66: Huang Silang Is Also Named Huang

The official version of "Star Emperor" has been launched for a week, everything is normal.

Just when Chen Ba thought there wouldn’t be any problems with the official version and was actively preparing for the new version update of Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator, Lu discovered traces of "cheating."

"Are you sure it’s cheating?"

"Not sure, but this player is very strange, he starts with 4K resolution and ultra graphics settings, then goes on to conquer the Path to Immortality..."

Isn’t this just a graphics card test!

Hearing this, Chen Ba couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, "Probably another boring UP host, using our game to test the graphics card performance! How is that cheating?"

"No, no, mere abnormal behavior is not much."

Lu argued: "The key is his configuration, unable to read any information, and the performance is very strong; real-time ray tracing and DLSS features are superior to 30 series graphics cards!"

Cannot read the information? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Chen Ba was also shocked.

What’s going on, what configuration is this guy using, why can’t information be read? Could it really be cheating?

Out of curiosity, Chen Ba called Yang Dong, Zhong Shengwei, and others together, and everyone jointly conducted a round of screening verification on this player.

"Registered IP is the United States."

Yang Dong said: "First logged into the game two days ago, directly went to conquer the Path to Immortality; the win rate is high..."

"What’s interesting is that he initiates Extreme Sublimation every time!"

"Extreme Sublimation in 4K ultra graphics!" Fearing not to attract enough attention, Zhong Shengwei emphasized the player’s resolution and graphics settings again.

Now, everyone was really confused.

An unknown computer configuration that cannot be read, Extreme Sublimation in 4K resolution ultra graphics, this should not be a normal 3090.

"3090Ti is a stretch too."

Chen Ba muttered: "Dare to play like this, and has not crashed during the process, could this really be some new type of cheat?"

Surpassing the actual performance of 3090Ti, this is not a level of hardware that players should have, and there are no such graphics cards on the market. And the unreadable model, this is the biggest doubt.

"Last night, after receiving the title of Immortal King, he went offline."

Lu retrieved the login records and said: "Until ten o’clock this morning, he hasn’t logged in during this period."

"Keep a close eye on the account."

Chen Ba gave instructions, asking Lu to keep an eye on this United States player, must figure out whether he’s cheating or using an unknown new graphics card.

But the strangest thing is...

Since Tianba Studio noticed this player named [AdaLovelace] and began monitoring him closely, he hasn’t logged in again.

Five days later.

Just as Chen Ba was wondering whether this player had uninstalled "Star Emperor", NVIDIA GTC 2022 keynote speech began as scheduled.

Wearing a black leather jacket, Old Huang appeared on camera, looking full of spirit due to stock price increases, introducing the latest breakthroughs in AI, data science, high-performance computing, graphics, edge computing, networking, and autonomous machine fields to users and media.

"Today, we will release the third-generation RTX architecture—Ada Lovelace!"

As a member of the gaming industry, Chen Ba naturally watched Old Huang’s keynote speech.

When he saw Old Huang releasing the third-generation RTX architecture, named after the mathematician Ada Lovelace, it seemed very familiar.

Not only him, but Lu and others also thought of it.

Dang it!

Turns out, the mysterious player they’ve been looking for was Old Huang all along! No wonder the IP comes from the United States, no wonder hardware information can’t be read, everything makes sense now.

"So...what we thought was cheating, is actually Old Huang’s unreleased new graphics card, the mysterious 4090?"

"Seems like it." Chen Ba was speechless.

On the screen, Old Huang did not play coy, actively demonstrating the progress of the 4090 compared to the 3090, and the power of the DLSS3.0 technology.

In Old Huang’s words, our DLSS3.0 is awesome, this is how the technology should present itself.

Words alone are not enough.

Old Huang probably realizes that just bragging verbally might not resonate with everyone, nor would they believe what he says is true.

Then let’s do a game test!

And so, in an instant, Star Emperor with 4K resolution and ultra graphics, activated Extreme Sublimation appeared on the screen.

At this level, 3090 can only maintain 60-65 frames, while the newly launched 4090 can actually have 82-90 frames!

Moreover, based on the new generation of RTX architecture, the light and shadow of the game and details in dark textures were significantly better than the previous generation.

"Wow! That’s unbelievable!"

Old Huang praised himself, introducing how they achieved such technical breakthroughs and the leading edge of the new-generation GPU architecture.

It’s undeniable, Old Huang does have something.

New technology and new architecture indeed have greatly improved gaming, especially in ray tracing, the improvement is huge.

You know, activating Extreme Sublimation under 4K ultra graphics in "Star Emperor", that’s not strength that an ordinary graphics card can handle.

The 4090’s average performance of 85 frames has exceeded his expectations.

This is 4K ultra graphics!

Adjusting the resolution to 1080P or 2K, without changing the graphics, with 4090’s performance, conquering Path to Immortality should not be difficult.

"How strange."

"Old Huang actually made an advertisement for us, did we pay him?" Yang Dong was very curious.

This is NVIDIA’s new technology keynote, in such a setting, choosing "Star Emperor" as the demonstration game, why not choose those AAA titles?

"Is there a possibility that the demonstration effect of "Star Emperor" is better? After all, AAA focuses more on the overall gameplay experience, while we prioritize ultimate graphics and effects."

"And another point!"

Chen Ba said through gritted teeth: "Other games go viral, Old Huang can at most have a sip of soup, but if "Star Emperor" goes viral, guess who benefits the most?"

Even if "Star Emperor" is well-suited for demonstrations.

Even if it’s not suitable for demonstrations, just for the contribution Tianba Studio has made to graphics card manufacturers, it’s reasonable to support them.

Although this is a good thing, Old Huang giving face by doing free promotion for "Star Emperor" in keynote speeches, theoretically Chen Ba should thank him.

But he can’t say the word "thank you!"

Tianba Studio works hard to make a game, and in the end, the money is made by graphics card manufacturers, and they still have to thank people...

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the classic dialogue about begging on knees between Zhang Mazi and the Master from the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

What a coincidence!

Huang Silang also has the surname Huang!

Thinking of this amazing coincidence, even their surnames are the same, Chen Ba couldn’t help but ponder.

By the way... why did he make the game "Star Emperor" in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to honestly work on "Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator - University Edition"?

"Ba, sales have increased!"

Chen Ba was still pondering, while Lu beside him discovered that after Old Huang’s keynote speech ended, the purchase and download volume of "Star Emperor" surged.

Saying it surged is an exaggeration.

Actually, it was not selling well previously; after Old Huang helped with global advertisement, the sales suddenly increased several times.
