After all this fuss, is it actually the aunt’s family living under someone else’s roof?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being able to buy houses in the game was a little easter egg Chen Ba made to increase playability and fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended that after players got tired of the game on their second or third playthrough, they could use their extra Game Coins to buy a house in the game and start a new life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buying a house in the game isn’t completely useless; once players purchase a property and restart, they unlock \"hidden plots.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hidden plot allows the protagonist to live independently in the house they bought, rather than enduring their aunt’s household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The independent storyline won’t involve annoying uncle-in-law and cousin, nor will it trigger self-esteem bruising events due to living under someone else’s roof—sort of like a \"parallel universe\" line?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Chen Ba’s original intention for providing the house-buying easter egg in the game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t anticipate that players could actually buy the house where their aunt’s family lives, which he’d never imagined as an absurd turn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is absolutely a Bug!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to limited game maps, they initially only made a few residential buildings, and the entire game only has the aunt’s family community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it’s reasonable for the sales office to show Building 3, as there are only so many buildings in the game. There’s no way to create an \"imaginary\" estate, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply overlooked the issue of property ownership in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, houses that are already occupied should have been sold long ago; how can such houses be sold again to players?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianba Studio didn’t consider this aspect, so any house in the community, regardless of which unit, players could buy the property rights from the sales office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This includes... the 302 room where Aunt’s family lives!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, how did I not think of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patting his forehead in frustration, Chen Ba was greatly annoyed: \"What a joke, and so many people saw it in the live stream...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this Bug, how did it end up as living under someone else’s roof?
