Chapter 2 Hours Later

Two hours later, Qiao Liang logged out of "Sea Fortress" with a blank expression.

A waste of time!

He first went to "Islands of Salvation" and ran through all the famous scenes, then created a smurf account and slaughtered the newbie village, and finally switched to "Sea Fortress" to quickly play a few levels of the story mode.

But he got nothing.

Qiao Liang wasn't someone who gave up easily. The reason he logged out was because he felt that he might have some deviation in his direction.

Could it be that it's not in these two games at all?

He glanced at the fan group, and many people had obviously thought of this point and went to check the games they were familiar with. But two hours passed, and no one had found any useful clues.

Qiao Liang flipped through the chat history and began to check the games that the fans had gone to check.

Ghost General, Game Producer, Sea Fortress...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qiao Liang.

"A Lone Desert Road"!

Since it was "left behind on a past journey," then this game must be more descriptive!

Moreover, most people had already ignored this game.

In the early days, this garbage game was briefly popular for a while, but its popularity quickly waned, and its popularity was far inferior to Tengda's later games.

Moreover, the game itself was particularly boring. Most people, even if they bought it, probably wouldn't really play it through to the end. Even if they did, they would have already thrown it into the game library to collect dust and wouldn't have kept it until now.

If you want to play hide-and-seek, wouldn't it be more classy to use this game?

Qiao Liang immediately became excited, opened "A Lone Desert Road," and prepared to drive.

He had driven for a full eight hours in this game before, knowing that it would be an extremely long journey. So, he first ate some snacks, then put water in an easily accessible position on the table, and finally went to the bathroom before officially starting.

An hour later, Qiao Liang was already feeling sleepy, but just then, he saw a letter seem to float past the roadside.

The car was driving fast, and this letter seemed to stay in Qiao Liang's field of vision for less than half a second before disappearing.

"Damn it!"

Qiao Liang didn't see it clearly. He vaguely remembered it looked like an arc-shaped letter, but he couldn't remember whether it was a C or a g.

He was very sure that there shouldn't have been similar letters in the previous games, so he silently restarted the game and turned on the screen recording software.

After another three hours of driving, Qiao Liang quit the game and went to the bathroom.

After returning to his seat, Qiao Liang opened the screen recording software, dragged it directly to an hour later, and checked the letter he had seen.

Sure enough, it was a g!

Next, every 5 minutes, a letter would float past the side of the car, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, for a total of 20 letters, floating for more than an hour.

After that, no more letters appeared, but just in case, Qiao Liang continued to drive for nearly half an hour before quitting the game.

Comparing the video, Qiao Liang carefully copied down all the letters.

gAiCCCCCCACBiAdBhCeA

It seemed to be a password.

In other words, other players didn't need to play "A Lone Desert Road" to know this password.

But knowing this password, the puzzle had only just begun.

...

Shang Yang Games.

Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin, and others were also paying attention to the reactions in various forums, Weibo, and player groups.

There were more players dissatisfied with this than expected.

There were many remarks such as "Is it sick to not be able to buy the game after spending money?" "Acting like a big shot, I'm not playing with you!"

However, more players were interested in the puzzle.

The game had been released for a few hours, and players had already found the password that President Pei had left in "A Lone Desert Road". But this password obviously had to be further deciphered in order to obtain truly useful information.

Ye Zhizhou was also studying this password. The notebook in his hand was already full of characters, and he was also searching on the computer screen, but he couldn't find any useful information.

"I don't know how President Pei thought of this kind of publicity method, he's simply a genius!"

"But... it seems that it would be better to do this kind of preheating a month before the game is released."

"Now that the game is already on the shelves, but you can't buy it, some players will definitely be angry."

"I wonder if this move has any deeper meaning."

Wang Xiaobin thought for a while: "Isn't President Pei always so capricious? He used to repeatedly persuade players to quit in the game 'Islands of Salvation'. Maybe this is some kind of special marketing method."

"Deliberately arousing players' rebellious psychology and making them more eager to participate in the puzzle-solving?"

Lin Wan nodded: "Well, I think this is very likely!"

"Many players have gone to play Tengda's old games in order to find clues. It is estimated that the sales of the old games 'Islands of Salvation' and 'Game Producer' must have increased."

"It's a pity that the time is a bit short. With the entry of a master like Qiao Laoshi who knows President Pei very well, the clues were found in a few hours."

"If it was hidden a little deeper, wouldn't the sales of other games skyrocket?"

Ye Zhizhou rubbed his temples: "I don't think President Pei seems to want to hide it that deep at all."

"The word 'journey' is already hinting at 'A Lone Desert Road'. As long as you honestly drive for three hours, you can find this clue."

"It seems that President Pei doesn't want to make things too difficult for players here..."

"Could it be that he is afraid that the players will not be able to find it if it is hidden too deeply, so they will start frantically buying Tengda's previous games?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible? I seem to be overthinking it."

Ye Zhizhou smiled self-deprecatingly.

Lin Wan looked at the string of English letters on the screen: "No one has deciphered this password yet. Maybe finding this password means the game has really started?"

"Maybe it's also related to the fact that not enough people are participating."

During the development of "BeQuiet", Shang Yang Games didn't actually reveal much information about this game.

Mainly because they felt that the game wasn't very complete before, and they were afraid of raising players' expectations too high. President Pei never mentioned promoting it either.

So, so far, not many players are paying attention to this puzzle, and even fewer are really racking their brains to crack the password.

Without a sufficient base, the speed of solving the puzzle naturally can't be increased.

On the other hand, many players who just want to play horror games are blocked outside the door, and the game's sales are still 0 so far, which is very real.

Wang Xiaobin was a little worried: "I was thinking, what if the players can't crack this password? We worked so hard to make the game for so long, but the players can't play it at all. Wouldn't that be..."

Lin Wan smiled: "You're thinking too much. There are too many talented people among the players. It's only a matter of time before they crack this password."

"Moreover, the more difficult the puzzle, the more people participate, and the better the publicity effect, right?"

...

Otto Technologies.

Chang You was worried about the PPT.

Although he had received clear instructions from President Pei, he still had no idea how to do it specifically.

The key point was that President Pei's requirements completely subverted his conventional thinking for the press conference...

Let alone anything else, the requirement of using one picture and five minutes to explain all the advantages of the phone was a bit too outrageous.

Chang You had already asked people to list all the advantages of the phone. It wasn't a problem to put them all on one picture, but it was impossible to explain them all in five minutes!

The known advantages of otto e1 currently include: high refresh rate screen, 5800mAh large battery, flagship chip, custom cooling system, horizontal linear motor, high-pixel dual cameras, fast charging, custom system, Tengda exclusive benefits, etc.

And if the Tengda exclusive benefits were to be explained in detail, there would be fifteen or sixteen items in the game, entertainment, life, and other categories.

In addition, things like NFC, infrared, headphone jack, hifi, and dual speakers, which other mobile phone manufacturers would definitely mention when releasing a phone, seemed to have no room for them in otto e1.

Chang You looked at this picture and felt a headache.

"How can I fit so much content into five minutes? I'm not a host who makes a living with my tongue..."

"But President Pei has given a death order that must be completed."

"If I can't complete it, wouldn't it be a huge embarrassment at the press conference?"

"Hmm? Wait, host?"

"Could it be that President Pei is hinting at me to compile all these advantages into jokes and say them all within five minutes?"

"Otherwise, why would he have to limit the time concept to 'five minutes'?"

Chang You instantly realized something and quickly created a new document, stringing all these advantages together and compiling them into a short paragraph.

After counting the number of words, it was about 1000 words.

The normal speaking speed of human beings, like a broadcaster, ensuring that every word is clear, is about 80 to 120 words per minute.

And the extreme speaking speed that humans can clearly hear is 2.5 times the normal speaking speed, which is 300 words per minute.

If it's faster, for example, a certain host can do 350 words in 47 seconds, but for many viewers, this speed is no longer able to accurately get the information in it.

Moreover, Chang You was not going to say 300 words, but nearly 1000 words. He would have to breathe in the middle, and he would easily pass out if he spoke too fast.

So, he calculated that saying 1000 words in five minutes, averaging 200 words per minute, would be nearly double the normal speaking speed!

And these 1000 words seemed to be able to introduce all the advantages of otto e1...

Chang You was a little shocked: "Could it be that this is President Pei's deeper meaning?"

"Is he letting me use this method to attract the attention of all the on-site audience and live audience, and create a program effect?"

"Even the five-minute time limit has been considered in advance?"

"Well, that must be it! This seems to be the only explanation."

"It seems that this old bone of mine has a lot to do..."

Chang You still felt a lot of pressure, but at least he now had a direction to strive for.

To completely memorize this passage before the press conference and be able to say it word for word within five minutes was definitely not an easy challenge for him.

But, in order to better promote the phone, in order not to disappoint President Pei's trust, Chang You decided to accept this challenge!

He must let President Pei see his efforts at the press conference!
