Chapter 274: [Extra 3] game bugs of eating how much fat.

In the history of Carefree Farmstead, there had been several game bugs. These bugs came suddenly, in the dead of night at 2:00 on time and lasted nearly a day. After the day hit 24:00, they quickly disappeared, and the game was back to its original state.

Because they came and went without a trace, Bai Li dragged the Imperial Research Institute and the official staff of “Holographic Game Design Competition” to investigate countless times but they couldn’t find the specific characteristics of the cause. Plus, they did not cause irreversible effects on the game. Bai Li was depressed for a long time, and was forced to accept them.

However, even though he accepted them, he simply couldn’t receive them without warning, but in front of those strange bugs, everyone was helpless. The key thing was, the development of the event was a bit unexpected. For the game players, surprisingly more than 90% of those bugs were easily accepted, and also talking about such interesting bugs was better than a lot of talking nonsense.

As for the remaining 10%, there was no great disgust for those bugs. It was only when the bugs appeared and the body and mind were hurt, every time they were mentioned, people would always show the painful expression of “after the robbery.” However, sometimes when they were mentioned more often, the people nearby would cast a confused look; really scared. Why do you keep mentioning it?

Early that morning, Bai Li was sleeping in Wen XingYao’s arms when he was awakened by the crazy messages from their small group of gamers.

Easy Victory Life, [Bai Li, Admiral, it’s not good! There is a bug in the game! You guys get on the game and check it out. A lot of people can’t even walk anymore!]

Peaches are So Delicious, [Yes, yes! Master, now the whole village is crowded with people and I can’t even get out of the house! QAQ!]

Song’s Blunt Opinion, [Who says it isn’t? I, the first gossip anchor of Carefree Farmstead, can’t bring you first-hand news. I really have no power…]

Old Dream of Stars, [I’m not round, I’m just a little chubby…Give me back my normal size…]

This was followed by a number of people’s chats. Even the always calm and self-possessed Give Me a Bowl of Rice, What Are You Playing?, I Am Not a Chatterbox and others at this time had a rare change of style, and along with the others had a hand and foot up. The savior, who was desired by all, looked back at the group’s chat logs, and was full of confusion.

What was this situation? What was everyone talking about? Why has he not been able to figure out what is going on? He understood what “bug” meant, but why did one person say that the players in the game couldn’t walk, and the words of the previous few people seemed to be that everyone’s size had changed dramatically. Was it taller? Or rounder? It couldn’t be that they have turned into a spherical object that can’t be seen as human in form, right?

[Don’t be in a hurry. I’ll go in later and take a look.] Bai Li ventured in the group to comfort them with a sentence, as he got ready to get up.

He made one last rub of Wen XingYao’s head, who had not yet had time to retract his round lion ears, while the other side had stoic helpless eyes as he held his waist to stop him getting out of bed. Well, last night’s strange play was indeed fresh, but next time maybe not so strenuous.

“Get up, get up. Let’s get on the game together and see,” Bai Li urged Wen XingYao, then he ran to the bathroom to wash up first.

When the two of them were quickly washed up and changed into comfortable home clothes, the time between meals was enough for them to understand the causes and consequences of the incident.

At two that morning, according to the players who still remained in the game, the night sky was suddenly enveloped by a light layer of red fog. A minute later it dispersed. At first everyone didn’t take it seriously. After all, in the game world there were no strange situations. That was until they slowly felt like it was difficult to walk around. Their arms and thighs visibly thickened. They moved to the nearest river, or if at home to look in the mirror. Ooh! This big fat face plate is who, ah?

It wasn’t only the players who stayed in the game, but also the players who came back online after a good rest who had the same situation. When the change first happened, the forum was in an uproar, as they discussed whether there was a bug in the game, but when the players realized that nothing had happened except that their characters had suddenly become fat, they calmed down and started to think calmly again.

The game was not a small virtual reality game with only 500 people. The Empire had how many people, so how many players were in the game? Even if each person provided a stroke well, once a night had passed, they could calmly discuss the most likely cause. As they all knew, being fat could be a symptom of certain diseases, as well as being affected by beast type. The biggest remaining reason, and the most widespread one, was usually too willing to eat.

Carefree Farmstead was a game where, in addition to the basic farming, the most famous aspect was the various culinary delicacies available. In a virtual reality game, there was the ability to eat without getting fat, super advantage.

Who ever thought that one day, the game would appear to gain a “how much you eat is how fat you are” bug. It was not an unreported change or one that went up early. The reason was analyzed, and everyone felt silly.

So they were fat like this all because they usually eat too much? However, while they were eating, they were also planting, fishing, mining and collecting, ah! According to the law of conservation of energy, it should also let them be a little thin, right?!

Just as such dissatisfaction was raised, a pot of cold water was thrown on their heads. “Hey brother, you can say this is wrong, but my next-door neighbor, when compared to our food consumption, is not as enthusiastic, and only maintains three meals a day and work as usual. With this bug out, I became a fat ball, but he has just gone from a single chin into a double chin, and the previous difference is not big. It seems that this bug is still very scientific, ha. It has taken our usual amount of exercise into consideration when reducing it!”

Even as such a case came out, the forum post messages had barely paused for three seconds before someone continued to speak, [Ahhhhh! So we’re all real fat without discounting? I am now looking at my big thick legs and sad to say, damn! It must be that my usual in-game exercises are too little, if I’ve become like this! Anyway, it’s not the culinary delicacies’ fault!]

[Originally, I just collapsed my game bed. I am still a little upset, but once I think about how all my real money is spent eating out, my heart has a kind of inexplicable pride! But pride is pride. I still hope this bug ends sooner. After all, being too round, or too fat will have some impact on the dry rice!]

[Hey, since the discussion has come to this point, then I will also show my cards. Previously, during the Harvest Festival, I purchased a full set of scales for the convenience of weighing. They were just hiding at home to weigh me, and guess what, I actually am a full three hundred and eighty pounds! This is a fifth of the weight of a big fat pig! Hey, during the Harvest Festival if there is a single weight competition, maybe I can get a first in the village?]

[Hahaha! Upstairs you make me want to go weigh myself! By the way, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a while I actually felt fine? I now love the feel of my body flesh. It’s tender and smooth and very elastic, with no greasy feeling. This is probably also the game adding a fat beauty filter for us, right?]

[Cough. Let’s not talk about weight and feel bad. Someone posted a post next door. It seems that my village organized a sumo wrestling competition to take advantage of this bug and opened a live broadcast. Round people bumped into each other. Don’t mention how interesting it is!]

[In addition to the sumo contest, I also saw a more simple and brutal weighing contest, the ‘most beautiful fat’ beauty contest, the King of Stomach contest and so on. Hahaha! The brain is not too big. No more, I have to rush to watch the live broadcast!]

“…”

The more they talked, the more distorted the topic was. Obviously, it should be a very serious issue, but this group of sand carving fellow netizens made it into an alternative game activity.

“How can there be such an outrageous bug?” Bai Li, who had a headache, rubbed his temples quite a bit without seeing anything. It was supposed to be an ordinary day, but it was colored by this “how much you eat is how much you weigh” bug.

Bai Li couldn’t help but think back on whether he had eaten and drunk in the game, and whether he had the habit of eating without exercising after meals. Fortunately, although he loved to eat, he didn’t pay too much attention to the appetite. Most of the time he only ate seven or eight points full (although that said, in the game there was no such thing as being a few points full), so he should see the satiety level rise but almost also stopped. He should be…Not too fat, right?

Wen XingYao took a look at Bai Li’s expression, and knew what he was thinking. This little fox didn’t always speak about certain things, but Wen XingYao knew that he had always been very conscious of his image, and if he found himself a lot fatter after going online, he was afraid that his mind would directly collapse. Unless the bug was fixed, he wouldn’t go back online.

It was useless to just think offline or to go online and see. The two lay into the same gaming pod, they closed their eyes, then opened their eyes, and appeared in the game login interface. They entered the game and opened the courtyard doors to see their usual forms and met each other with mutual smiles.

Well, it was good that there was no fat situation, which meant they usually kept their bodies in good condition.

Bai Li was thinking the same thing. Also that the game had a really weird style. From where they lived, as they walked to the village, the road was full of “strange” faces. There was a face like a blown ball that had been propped up flat, and they had to look carefully to identify who that person really was.

When the person saw Bai Li and Wen XingYao, the “ball” was  squeezed into a thin line of eyes that flowed with tears of sadness. Oooh, they were in the same game full of farming people, so why did LiLi and the Admiral not get fat at all?

They thought about how in reality Tasty Foods had just started to advertise instant food made from natural ingredients in cooperation with LiLi, they had a vague guess: LiLi and the Admiral, probably behind their backs, have been secretly eating in reality, right? Good food, right?

Bai Li rode a giant panda around the village map and finally found a stone emitting a faint red light deep in the mine.

When Bai Li found it, its energy had already dissipated to a small piece. Maybe soon, when the energy completely dissipated and the bug was gone, the game would return to normal.

When he reached that analysis, Bai Li and Wen XingYao together simply kept watch over it to see if everyone would return to their original size after the stone disappeared. Their decision was soon known by the others in the village, so everyone moved their round bodies with difficulty and came in the direction of the mine. After all, it was a big event in the game, and they had to participate in it anyway.

However, in the excitement of the village folk, they forgot the most important thing. The times were different, and right now they were each more than three times the size of the originals. The mine interior was relatively narrow and cramped, and with a crowd of people rushing over, only a few people could come in before  the mine mouth was blocked.

Even the people who were lucky enough to come early couldn’t avoid the black light, and accidentally got stuck in the narrow stone cracks, like a super fat cat sure of their own weight in honey confidence, was stuck but also put on a face of confused innocence.

The inflated version of the village people, “…”

Bai Li and Wen XingYao, “…”

Help! How can I laugh maniacally without making a sound!

Finally, the village people who had gone into the mine were rescued one by one by Bai Li. The tall, rounded figures in the dim mine light cast a dark shadow on the walls of the mine, which carried a very strong sense of oppression.

As for the village people who hadn’t yet arrived at the mine, or were blocked at the entrance, they were persuaded by Bai Li to give up the idea of rushing inside, and sat outside to wait for the outcome of the incident.

This wait lasted until nearly 24:00.

When they saw that the red stone was getting smaller and smaller, they all had a bit of a hunch, and they chose to “have fun in time.” They took out delicious food from their backpacks and ate it up. The bug proved to be so powerful that everyone ate even as they observed the changes in themselves and others.

“Haha! I ate a whole burger, and my arms have obviously thickened a circle, really fun!”

“One cup of coke went down, and my stomach bulged out another 0.5 cm. Burp~”

“Holy shit! Carbohydrates are really calorie bombs! I ate three bowls of rice in a row with roast pork, and my body is getting heavier and heavier!”

“Hey, that stone is about to disappear. Let’s take a picture together! This experience is really interesting!”

“Well, we can take a picture together, but if you have a brother or sister with good P-photo skills, can you make LiLi and the Admiral a little fatter? Otherwise they really don’t fit in with us!”

“…”

The bloated version of the village folk chatted and chatted very lively. Once 24:00 passed, the stone completely disappeared. A glistening white light descended, and all the players slowly slimmed back down, changing from 4XL in size back to L size, lightly as a swallow; it was a flying feeling. Bai Li once again used his own means of detection to confirm that the bug wouldn’t recur again, before he made the relevant announcement on the Starnet, and gave each player a gift bag to soothe them.

The players received the gift bag and happily opened it. Hey. How come all of them were items to help lose weight and slim down?

Hey, they have been in the game. Weight loss wasn’t possible, it was never possible to lose weight in game. LiLi, you do not understand it at all…
