Hello, everyone. Welcome to another week's developer diary!

It's time to declassify one of the operations run by Captain Nameless and the financial department.
The operation mostly took place in August 2021. Actually, it just concluded a few days ago.

A side story has been added to the game based on this operation.
Previously, the captain has talked about some of his background in his story.
Now, for the first time, you may directly jump into his memory and relive a part of his story that happens quite recently to see how exactly the financial department operates.

It's about the stock market.
It's about a stock called "Perfect World."
It happens in both realities. (Some clues exist in previous DDs.)
It's our story both in and out of the game.
However, there is more to it.
There is something more than just make the investment.
There is something behind the rise and fall of the stock price.
We are living in history. A history of the future.
Thus, the future shall know the struggle of the entire game industry in China. All the game companies, developers, gamers in China are in this together.

This is a nation that banned consoles for 14 years.
This is a nation that has the most hash censorships.
This is a nation that calls games opium.
This is a nation where ignorant parents will send their kids to take illegal electroshock to "cure" their "game addiction."
This is now also a nation that only allows everyone under 18 to play games from 8 pm to 9 pm on the weekend.

However, we can still win this!
The tale needs a triumph ending that brings hope to people that suffer.

The path to achieving everyone's personal liberty to play games in China is still long and grim.
However, at least, we won this round in the stock market both in and out of the game.
It's an operation that crosses the 4th wall.
It's an operation in this metaverse where there is no boundary between the game and our reality.

Many consider the metaverse will not come for a while.
However, in this tale, we are right in it.
Maybe you can't find any records of the captain and a certain Illuminati girl operating in our stock market. Maybe it's just because they are secret society members that work under the veil. :P
They were here in August 2021.
They were here in March 2020.
They were here in July 2015.
We are in their world and they are in ours. Isn't that fascinating?

However, once again, please don't take this as an investment suggestion.
As the captain said, if you don't have a heart of iron, you shall never walk on that Wall Street or get involved in the A-share market of China.
Especially when investing in the game stocks, it's a malicious hostile market. Nobody knows when the government will bomb us with negative news again.
From a -10% loss to +20% gain and then reduce to +12% gain in a short period of time can easily cause heart attack to many.

I once just wanted to make a small profit. However, the government regulation forced my hand to defend this industry. Now, I made a lot more.


Today's changelog:

New repeatable side story: A tale of Perfect World. (It's about Captain Nameless and the financial department's operation...just a few days ago.)

The Dust of History from SAPC++ is now returned, serving as a dungeon currency.
New area: A Memory of Perfect World.
New area: Museum of Weird History. (You can find an NPC to spend your Dust of History. It's located in Liu)

Optimized NPC on NPC / NPC on Player collision detection, a coordinate cache has been implemented.
It's likely going to keep FPS stay at 60 in Liu when the player is not moving, no matter how many NPC has been generated.
Previously, if you intentionally cause a traffic jam, the FPS may drop to 30.

优化了NPC之间以及NPC与玩家之间的碰撞检测，加入了一个坐标缓存。
基本上这能够确保在玩家不动的时候FPS就算在疁城也能保持在60，不管已经生成了多少NPC了。

大型物体，比如车辆目前尚未优化，因为它们有额外的碰撞检测规则判定。这个缓存本身也有进一步的优化空间。
