Here are the details of this update:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super cool new content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real estate developed by Tianba Real Estate Company has been a huge success, and buyers have crowded the sales office. So they developed two brand new completed projects, and there’s even a pre-sale project!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players can go to the sales office in the game and talk to real estate consultant Wang to get more information about the properties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interest rates on home loans have been adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added a second sales office and indoor map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added second-hand property transactions and transfer center...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a game update?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xin was dumbfounded. If anyone dares to tell him this is a simulation and development game, he’ll slap this update announcement in their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Open your eyes wide and take a good look!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which sim development game has an update like this? What developer only thinks about selling houses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just say whether there’s an update or not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GameBugs said something in the group chat that left him speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like... that is the case?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the rubbish content of this major update, at least they updated it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a single-player mini-game, receiving a major update after such a long time proves the developers aren’t just slacking off; they are indeed working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just for that, they are better than a lot of studios that release the formal version and never update it substantially again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why the update announcement doesn’t have a flood of bug fixes like other games, Ba gave an explanation and sharp review in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GameBugs: \"Our game is just too perfect! No new bugs have been encountered since the formal version’s release, and without new bugs, where would the fix announcements come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other games update with a bunch of ’bug fix’ descriptions, doesn’t this prove their game is just a pile of rubbish, full of holes and flaws?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right, right, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Ba’s shameless statements, many players showed a \"sweating bean\" expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Tianba Studio’s games have very few bugs, and even those encountered occasionally are solved in the test version or early access stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The formal version generally doesn’t have bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is indeed commendable because compared with their peers, Tianba Studio’s games do seem excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when you do have bugs, they are laughable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the hidden cow event after years of study and this new work’s house-buying uproar, Qian Xin felt speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, too lazy to talk about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Tianba Studio’s works always cause a stir when they have bugs, the games are quite fun, or they wouldn’t attract so many players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, \"Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator,\" which he’s played for nearly 100 hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s perfect timing for a major update, let’s dive in and see what new stuff they’ve added.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deciding, Qian Xin opened the \"Living Under Someone’s Roof Simulator\" client from his last play and loaded the latest saved game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already completed the game three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his fourth saved game!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first save was just messing around and accomplishing nothing. The second save accepted a business deal and ended up with a ten-year mortgage pitfall...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last save, he worked hard to earn money, paid off his mortgage in advance, and even unlocked a \"hidden\" event achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth save had nothing much to experience since he had already explored all the content in the first three saves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he abandoned the fourth save shortly after starting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he revisited the game because of the major update, wanting to see what Tianba Studio added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New sales office, new properties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important aspect of this version update is the addition of three new properties for players to choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, apart from three property models added to the sales office, there are three new maps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is something the update announcement didn’t mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps in Ba’s eyes, it’s not worth mentioning. After all, when new properties are on sale, shouldn’t new maps come with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a considerate \"real estate developer,\" how could the properties not have actual entities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three new properties represent three new communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each community is a new map, players can explore it, among which \"Tianba Manor\" is special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because \"Tianba Manor\" is a freaking presale property!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does presale property mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means the houses aren’t even built yet, the map isn’t finished, and there are only a few construction site images available for purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What genius design?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xin was really convinced, fully convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other games’ version previews usually provide a trailer or early leaks, but Tianba Studio goes straight to \"presale property.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, this construction site is the content for the next version update! Aren’t you excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What am I excited about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a sarcastic comment, Qian Xin controlled the character [Qian Duoduo] to enter the new map \"Tianba Garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned upon entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This community actually had a lot of NPC activity, and many had yellow exclamation marks floating above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the sign of a task!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow, the new map actually has new tasks, new trash bins, and new hidden side quests?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An excited Qian Xin rushed forward, planning to talk to these NPCs to see if he could receive tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not an owner of our community, please stay away from me, security! Security, how did a stranger get into our community?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Duoduo was expelled by security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he wasn’t an owner of the community, he was repelled, and tasks couldn’t be accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! Is this a forced move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xin, in front of his computer screen, gritted his teeth and decisively ran to the sales office, using the savings from his last save to buy a house in \"Tianba Garden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the security didn’t chase him away, even saluted him: \"Welcome home, honorable ’Tianba Garden’ owner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even NPCs weren’t repelling him, some even asked his age, if he was single, and wanted to set him up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He received a hidden task, the rewards were alright, but Qian Xin looked at the mortgage terms reminder in the top right corner and couldn’t help but ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have I been tricked again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the presale property, just two new maps!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If players want to unlock these two new maps, gaining all achievements and rewards, don’t they need to buy two more houses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as the security said, you are not an owner of the community, please leave quickly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One house plus its 10-year mortgage implies 20 years for two houses, counting the presale community, that’s 30 years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One saved game is only 3 years, this update throws players into eternal hell, needing ten reincarnations to escape the chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a vicious scheme!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Xin shivered, quickly quitting the game, fearing he’d contribute another 100 hours to this broken game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be too terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>",1183,"2026-06-06T03:03:37.341Z",1,"novelbin.me","cdce9021a57372155649950b7eb339d8f4e9afd7552ef5bee211fa2568b18e5c","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-36","this-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-chapter-343",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-is-not-a-bug-but-a-game-feature-cover.jpg"]
