Many of President Pei's statements seem contradictory on the surface, but upon deeper examination, they can reach a state of dialectical unity at a higher level!

The keyword "attention" made Qiao Liang involuntarily think of the recently opened Sloth Apartments and the Fully-Automatic Argument Machine.

And the special nature of the impoverished student group made Qiao Liang think of *Struggle*.

It seemed that there really was a thread in the dark that connected everything together!

However, all of this still needed to be sorted out carefully.

First, start with a seemingly contradictory concept!

Qiao Liang excitedly grabbed his computer and recorded all his thoughts.

In his speech, President Pei hoped that these impoverished students would not spend their money on distracting and addictive entertainment activities.

But at the same time, President Pei was also a game producer who had created many fun games and invented the Fully-Automatic Argument Machine, a seemingly meaningless little gadget.

Was this not contradictory?

For people who don't play games or understand games, this is obviously contradictory, because they see games as a waste of time and meaningless entertainment.

But for Qiao Liang, a veteran game enthusiast, he certainly didn't think games were meaningless.

Games are beneficial in at least two ways:

From a gameplay perspective, games allow people to release accumulated pressure and gain mental rest, and like most entertainment activities, they can soothe people's minds;

From an artistic perspective, some games themselves have content and express something, which is enlightening for players.

And these two aspects are exactly what Tenda Games has been pursuing.

*gog* is constantly pursuing the ultimate gameplay, giving people relaxation and entertainment; while games such as *Game Producer*, *Repent and Be Saved*, and *Struggle* are constantly pursuing the ultimate artistry, giving people inspiration and thought.

Under what circumstances are games harmful?

When players are dominated by negative emotions and devote too much time to some low-taste games, not treating games as entertainment but as a substitute for escaping reality, it is harmful.

Tenda never touches these kinds of games that stir up negative emotions.

Of course, good games can sometimes be addictive, but this cannot be blamed on "the game being too fun," but rather on one's own lack of self-control.

The crux of these people who lack self-control is that they have not realized that attention is their most precious wealth, and they squander these precious things recklessly.

Even without games, they would find something else to squander their attention on.

Even if there were no entertainment activities in the world, they would not do anything meaningful, but would instead zone out.

In this case, taking the time to play a game like *Struggle* would actually be beneficial for them.

Other entertainment, such as movies, TV series, novels, etc., all have the same effect. They allow people to relax and unwind, and to be able to devote themselves to work better after resting, which is their purpose.

If it can give people a little bit of inspiration, then that's even better.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang suddenly understood.

He understood why President Pei said not to interpret *Struggle* with *A Masterpiece*!

Because the ideas expressed in *Struggle* are not limited to the field of games, so naturally it cannot be simply interpreted with the game-thinking *A Masterpiece*!

Just like what He An said, *Struggle* is actually a game that breaks down the dimensional wall, and the game itself is closely related to Tenda's industries!

He An used game design-related concepts to interpret *Struggle*, but this is obviously incomplete.

Because he didn't connect it to these real-world contents.

For example, He An said in his long Weibo post that President Pei encourages everyone to resist consumerism, so what exactly is President Pei's concept of "consumerism" and "IQ tax"? Is it the concept we recognize in our habitual thinking?

Obviously, there is a difference.

Qiao Liang finally understood why, after giving up using *A Masterpiece* to interpret *Struggle*, he could find what was missing from the Spooky House video.

Because all of these contents, in the final analysis, are all talking about the same thing.

With the environmental blessing of Sloth Apartments, Qiao Liang instantly felt his inspiration explode, and immediately began writing the document for the new video.

Silent Expresser, Part 1 (Continued): Everything You Need to Know Outside of *Struggle*!

…

…

September 16th, Friday.

He An got up early as usual, walked around the garden of his villa twice, and then drank tea while browsing the latest news.

The *gog* Global Invitational Tournament had reached the second match day of the second round of the group stage, but He An was not interested in this competition.

After all, he was getting old, and his focus on the game industry was now concentrated on single-player games.

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be many people sending him private messages on his Weibo last night.

The contents of these private messages were similar, all sending him a link to the Aili Island website, asking him to watch a certain video.

This was not a common occurrence.

With a hint of curiosity, He An clicked on the link and jumped to the Aili Island website.

"Everything You Need to Know Outside of *Struggle*?"

"Huh?"

He An was slightly surprised, because the "Struggle" here was marked with quotation marks, obviously referring specifically to the game *Struggle*.

But the interpretation of the game *Struggle* should have been finalized since he posted that long Weibo post, right?

Could it be that this up-loader…

Plagiarized?

Made my long Weibo post into a video?

He An almost thought he had been plagiarized, but after a closer look, he realized that something was wrong. Judging from the introduction, this video was not discussing the game *Struggle* itself.

That meant that it didn't seem to conflict with He An's long Weibo post.

Looking at the author again, it was Qiao Laoshi.

He An had an impression of this up-loader. After all, the *A Masterpiece* program was produced by Qiao Laoshi.

He An was very clear that although Qiao Laoshi did not have relevant professional knowledge, he was already considered more thoughtful among general game players and often interpreted Tenda's games.

But this time, Qiao Laoshi had not released *A Masterpiece* interpreting *Struggle*, obviously because all the content had been answered by He An.

So, what was the purpose of Qiao Laoshi releasing this video now?

Could it be that he found a new angle to explain *Struggle*?

He An instinctively didn't believe it, but curiosity still drove him to click on the video to check it out.

…

"Hello everyone, viewers, I am still your 'Game Godfather' Qiao Laoshi."

"Seeing this title, many people may be wondering."

"Why did the interpretation of *Struggle* come out so late? Why wasn't *Struggle* put in the *A Masterpiece* program but in the *Silent Expresser* program? Why is it the first episode's 'sequel'?"

"Don't worry, everyone, next, I will reveal them to you one by one!"

"Before that, I want to declare one thing first: this video does not involve the interpretation of the game *Struggle* itself, because in my opinion, He An's long Weibo post has already clearly analyzed all the contents of the game."

"Students who have not read this long Weibo post, please click on the hyperlink in the video introduction to read this long Weibo post. This is very important, because all the contents of this video need to be watched in conjunction with the contents explained in this long Weibo post!"

"Students who have read it may also press the pause button and quickly browse through it again."

"Three, two, one."

"Okay, next, let me deeply reveal the content outside of the game *Struggle* to everyone!"

"He An has said before that *Struggle* is a game that repeatedly breaks down the dimensional wall. *A Better Tomorrow*, *Struggle*, and real life constitute three different worlds."

"However, because He An does not live in Jingzhou and does not pay much attention to Tenda's industries, he has not deeply explained the real-world part."

"Therefore, the current interpretation of the game *Struggle* is missing a full half of the content!"

"And the purpose of this video is to make up for this missing half of the content and make *Struggle* break down the dimensional wall more thoroughly!"

…

Seeing this, He An couldn't help but be stunned.

It actually said that my interpretation of *Struggle* is still incomplete?

Impossible, my interpretation should already be comprehensive, right?

Outside of the game, there are still many contents that need to be answered? And it's even related to Tenda's industries?

He An really didn't know much about these.

Because so far, Tenda's physical industries are basically concentrated in Jingzhou, and at most have expanded to Handong Province, not to He An's side.

And He An doesn't live in Jingzhou, so his understanding of Moyu Takeaway, Sloth Apartments, and Trustee Gym is naturally very little.

So, He An carefully watched on.

…

"Before starting the explanation, I would first like to throw out a seemingly shocking concept:"

"Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway, Sloth Apartments, Spooky House, Fully-Automatic Argument Machine, Trustee Gym, and even the earlier ROF Assembly, Otto Mobile Phones, and Nifeng Logistics, etc., are all an extension of the concept expressed in the game *Struggle*!"

"I know, this sounds hard to accept, let me slowly explain it to you."

"The last question that He An raised in his long Weibo post is: There are three types of relationships between the poor and the rich that President Pei wants to express, namely: *A Better Tomorrow*, *Struggle*, and the real world."

"The unsolvable problems in *A Better Tomorrow* and *Struggle* have solutions in the real world. This game makes us realize that the things we take for granted are actually a great happiness in themselves."

"This is one of the ways that the game *Struggle* breaks down the dimensional wall."

"But some people don't agree with this very much and think that it's a bit too forced to put the real world side by side with *A Better Tomorrow* and *Struggle*."
