Chapter 107 The Power of Reverse Thinking

Pei Qian was leisurely sipping coffee at Mo Yu Internet Cafe, watching the GPL competition on the cafe's TV.

He had to admit, the GPL matches were becoming more and more exciting.

Zhang Yuan's esports division was clearly racking its brains to improve the GPL's watchability, constantly optimizing it. Pei Qian was even a little worried: what if the ICL, when it finally launched, was drastically inferior to the GPL?

But then he reconsidered, and figured that probably wouldn't happen.

Eric was so clever; he would definitely "refer" to the GPL content diligently. In other words, the better the GPL did, the more things the ICL could copy, which would help the ICL close the gap with the GPL right from the start.

So, Pei Qian stopped worrying about the ICL and relaxed to watch the match.

The GPL's spring season was in full swing, with each club pulling out all the stops and showcasing a variety of excellent tactics. Clearly, once a league was on the right track and the overall strength of each club had improved, the environment would get better and better, competition would become more intense, and the entire competitive ecosystem would naturally continue to improve.

Just then, the phone rang.

Pei Qian saw that it was Yu Pingan calling.

"Hello? President Pei, I have something to report. Rabbit Tail Live wants to invite the young lecturers and scholars who cooperate with Useful App to stream on their platform, saying it's your intention. We certainly have no objections, but we were wondering, there are only so many lecturers and professors, and their time is limited, so how should we allocate them?"

Yu Pingan quickly reported his question to President Pei.

Everyone in Tengda knew that President Pei was usually busy, so they would always be as brief as possible when reporting, keeping only the key information, so as not to waste President Pei's time and affect his work.

As for whether this brief reporting method might lead to some key information being missed...

Impossible. President Pei was a master strategist, with a thorough understanding of all the details of the Tengda Group, so how could he possibly miss key information?

All the heads of Tengda's departments had a consensus that "President Pei is omniscient and omnipotent," so they were naturally very brief when reporting on their work and never long-winded.

However, at this moment, Pei Qian's expression was blank, his mind empty.

Rabbit Tail Live wants to find young lecturers and scholars to stream there?

And they said it's my intention?

When did I ever have that intention?

Pei Qian wanted to deny it outright, but then he thought again, maybe this was a good idea?

Young lecturers and scholars, giving lectures on Rabbit Tail Live?

Other live streaming platforms all feature game streams, various girls dancing, and outdoor adventures, but Rabbit Tail Live is giving lectures?

Afraid that the audience in the live stream room wouldn't sleep soundly, huh?

Most people watch live streams for entertainment, but Rabbit Tail Live is giving online courses in the live stream room, and high-level courses at that. Who would watch that?

And even if they did watch, they certainly wouldn't give crazy tips.

Rabbit Tail Live has to give these young lecturers and scholars some benefits for lecturing on the live streaming platform, right? They can't give them low wages, right?

In this way, they wouldn't make money and would have to pay out wages. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Pei Qian suddenly felt that, although he didn't know about this, Rabbit Tail Live was doing a great job!

As expected of Old Ma! My pillar of support!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian simply went along with it and acknowledged the matter: "Yes, it's very necessary to have these young lecturers and scholars give lectures on Rabbit Tail Live."

"But... the work on the Useful App can't be put down either."

Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh. (Both are important.)

The Useful App hasn't earned Pei Qian a single cent so far, but instead burns money every month. What's more, Pei Qian has always been tormented by Qian Du, and he also very much hopes to have an app that allows him to access relevant information at will.

This kind of Sisyphean task must not be put aside, it must be continued, and it must be done with great effort!

But how to allocate the two tasks, that needs to be coordinated a little.

Currently, the Useful App seems safer, while Rabbit Tail Live has some risks.

In that case, for the time being, focus on the Useful App and supplement it with Rabbit Tail Live.

Pei Qian continued, "The Useful App is a long-term plan, and the work cannot be affected too much. So, Yu Pingan, choose a portion of the young lecturers and scholars who cooperate with the Useful App to try the waters on Rabbit Tail Live. The main staff should continue to complete the entries and database for the Useful App."

Pei Qian was being careful and didn't immediately send a large number of young lecturers and scholars to Rabbit Tail Live, but considered trying the waters first to see how things went.

If, as expected, no one watched, then they could continue to expand the scale. If it became very popular, then Pei Qian would have to think of another way.

Yu Pingan quickly said, "Okay, President Pei, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Pingan said to Chen Yufeng, "President Pei has arranged everything. He said to choose a portion of the young lecturers and scholars who cooperate with the Useful App to try the waters on Rabbit Tail Live and observe."

"Here, I'll organize the information of these young lecturers and scholars and send it to you. You can choose yourself. In the early stages, let's send a quarter of the people over to test the waters first. Any more than that, and my work here will be affected."

"Of course, I'm still continuing to contact more young lecturers and scholars from other universities, including some scholars from other places. Anyway, both of our projects can be unrestricted by region. Once there are more suitable candidates, we can communicate at any time."

Chen Yufeng was very happy. "Okay, then thank you!"

"Actually, I'm not very confident about whether this model will work, so it's safest to test the waters before making a decision."

"By the way, you can also ask these people about their willingness. Maybe some people prefer lecturing to doing research?"

The two talked happily and quickly worked out the details of the cooperation.

In short, the Useful App would be responsible for contacting various young scholars and lecturers, and have them use their spare time to enrich the Useful App's entries and knowledge base. And those with better eloquence and who liked lecturing would be recommended to Rabbit Tail Live.

The benefits given by the two projects were similar and very good. The key was to see how these people were willing to choose.

Rabbit Tail Live was to do a good job of ensuring the improvement of functions such as video editing and replay, to guarantee the viewing experience of the audience. In addition, Rabbit Tail Live could guide traffic to Useful App in the future.

The two hit it off and immediately went about their own business.

...

Shang Yang Games.

The development of *Fitness Battle* was in full swing.

After finalizing the design details with Guo Licheng, Chang You, and others, Wang Xiaobin had comprehensively refined the game's design draft, the relevant art resource requirements had been submitted, and it had officially entered the production stage.

Now, Wang Xiaobin's main focus was on the characters of *Fitness Battle*.

According to his design, there were eight characters in *Fitness Battle*, and players were developing these eight characters while exercising.

And one of the keys to the success or failure of this game was whether these eight characters could gain the players' love.

If players were indifferent to these characters, they would naturally have no motivation to exercise, which would be a great failure.

And these characters' appearances would have many changes. For example, in terms of body shape, they might have different shapes such as chubby, thin, healthy, and muscular, and there might also be some bad postures that needed to be corrected.

As the characters' body shape changed, the effect of wearing different clothes would also be different. Some clothes must be worn under specific body shapes and conditions to look the best.

And the key problem was to ensure that these characters would still be loved by the players even if their body shape changed.

When they're chubby, they're cute; after exercising for a long time, they're cute and sexy.

Only in this way would players have a strong driving force and grind tirelessly.

However, these image designs had all been entrusted to Halo Studio, with Boss Ruan in charge, Wang Xiaobin was one hundred and twenty percent assured.

He was busy when he suddenly saw a familiar figure: Jiang Yuan, the current head of Outu Technology, had arrived.

Wang Xiaobin stood up and said, "Is there something I can help you with? Are you worried about the development of *Fitness Battle*?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "How can I be worried? Tengda's game department is the most professional department in the entire group!"

"I'm here this time to ask Brother Wang for some other things."

"Outu Technology's new mobile phone is positioned as a gaming phone, so I was thinking, could Brother Wang help us port two mobile games?"

"GoG has a ready-made mobile version, we just need to make some special optimizations for our G1 phone. In addition, I hope to release a shooting game and a racing game. I think *Sea Fortress* and *Lonely Desert Road* are good."

"Could Brother Wang also port these two games to mobile phones, and then make some optimizations for the G1's two shoulder button designs?"

Jiang Yuan knew very well that if it was just the GoG mobile version, it would not be enough to give full play to the real advantages of this phone.

Because GoG's operation method was a skill wheel, which meant that most of the skills required players to press and hold the skill, and then drag to select the direction to release. And the two shoulder buttons were actually unable to perform the operation of selecting the direction, so their application range was relatively narrow.

At most, they could map some skills that don't require selecting a direction, such as healing and shields. And the skills between heroes were different, so the rules for how to use these two shoulder buttons on each hero needed to be refined slowly.

Games like *Hot-Blooded Ballad* could also use shoulder buttons, but the game experience would not be qualitatively improved.

In comparison, shooting games and racing games were completely different.

When playing shooting games, the two shoulder buttons were for aiming and shooting respectively, while the two shoulder buttons in racing games were for braking and acceleration respectively, which could greatly enhance the player's gaming experience.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan specifically came to Wang Xiaobin, hoping to launch several PC game to mobile ports at the same time when the G1 phone was released, to do a wave of joint promotion.
