Chapter 658 President Pei is on the Fifth Floor (Shi Zhong Wu Mu bonus chapter 3/10)

"So, games are a neutral thing. Do you use them to relax and work better, or do you become addicted and escape reality? It depends on your own choices."

"Just like Tenda Games never forbids employees from playing games. Does this mean they're encouraging them to slack off? Obviously not. It's encouraging them to strike a balance between work and rest."

"Rest is actually for better work."

"If you're tired from work, relax by playing games so you can work more efficiently afterwards. Wouldn't that make better use of your attention?"

"Ultimately, it still comes down to the keyword 'attention.'"

"That's why President Pei made the game *Struggle*. His game isn't meant to make you addicted and escape reality, but to help you better embrace reality."

"Similarly, President Pei's view on consumerism isn't about emphasizing that certain things absolutely can't be bought or that buying them is a waste of money, but about emphasizing the need to understand your true needs."

"President Pei believes that the most valuable asset is attention, and a rational view of wealth is to use money to leverage attention, to do meaningful things, and to create greater value."

"The so-called 'resisting consumerism' is the same principle. It's not about saying that buying expensive things means you're paying a gullibility tax or falling for consumerism. The key is what your purpose is in spending the money."

"For President Pei, as a boss, he needs a certain level of presentability when talking business with others, so he buys branded suits and watches."

"But if you carefully observe those three world-famous paintings, you'll notice that he only has two suits that he wears over and over again, and only that one watch. He keeps everything at the minimum level he needs."

"Similarly, President Pei has the money to buy a luxury home, but he doesn't. Instead, he lives in the Sloth Apartments, creating a minimalist environment conducive to thinking."

"President Pei's behavior is the best annotation of 'resisting consumerism.' Every one of President Pei's expenditures is actually to leverage his attention and create the greatest value."

"So, to summarize, what is a 'gullibility tax'?"

"Everyone has a limited amount of money. If you use the same amount of money to buy a designer bag, then you won't be able to invest or learn knowledge."

"So, to see if a purchase is really a 'gullibility tax' or if you've been brainwashed by consumerism, the key is to see what it brings you."

"If you're going to talk business with someone but don't even have a decent suit, you're creating obstacles for yourself. Buying a designer suit at this time isn't a gullibility tax."

"But if you're a deliveryman, wearing a designer suit is not only inconvenient for carrying goods but also easily gets dirty, then buying a designer suit is a gullibility tax."

"Therefore, by analyzing President Pei, we can conclude what he wants to express outside of *Struggle*:"

"To change your destiny, you must rely on wealth accumulation and resist consumerism; and you must rely on hard work."

"The core of resisting consumerism is not about spending less money, but about spending every penny on things that can improve yourself, create more value, and be truly useful to you."

"The core of hard work is not about doing repetitive labor stupidly, touching yourself by being a workaholic, and sticking to one path until the end. It's about cleverly using your attention to think independently and find the right direction."

"You spend money playing games and reading novels, as long as you're not addicted but use it to adjust your mood and work better, and even get some inspiration, then that's meaningful."

"So, this is what President Pei is conveying to us through real life, outside of the game *Struggle*."

"Understanding this will make everyone realize that all of President Pei's industries are actually repeatedly expressing these two points to us."

"Back to the original question."

"Why do I say that Sloth Internet Cafe, Sloth Takeout, Sloth Apartments, Thrill Horror House, Fully Automatic Argument Machine, Managed Gym, and even the earlier ROF PC assembly, OTTO mobile phones, Backlit Logistics, etc., are all extensions of the concepts expressed in the game *Struggle*?"

"Because all these industries can be summarized into these two points."

"These industries seem to be more expensive than competing products in the same industry, but in fact, they provide a better experience. You do spend more money, but what do you save?"

"You save attention!"

"For example, the managed gym. Everyone knows that it's much more expensive than an ordinary gym, but in an ordinary gym, you need to supervise yourself, exercise every day, and eat a reasonable diet. Sometimes you go to the gym and find that it's crowded and you have to wait in line to use the equipment, wasting your time."

"But the managed gym arranges your training schedule and diet for you, and also ensures that you can start exercising immediately every time you go, so you can save your attention and use it where it's needed more."

"Sloth Takeout is the same principle. Of course, it's more expensive than other takeout and more expensive than cooking yourself. But when you eat other takeout, you have to check whether the ingredients are fresh? Is there too much oil and salt? If you cook yourself, you have to buy groceries, pick vegetables, wash vegetables, and learn recipes. It takes at least half an hour to cook a meal from start to finish."

"But if you choose Sloth Takeout, you can eat with peace of mind, and the attention you save can be used where it's needed more."

"Including the Fully Automatic Argument Machine and Sloth Apartments, they are also emphasizing the importance of focusing attention and thinking carefully to everyone."

"As for the Thrill Horror House..."

"Actually, after the last video was made, I kept thinking, what was missing?"

"Now I understand. In the previous video, there was a lack of expression of President Pei's thoughts, so it didn't seem so convincing."

"Now, the Thrill Horror House should be included in the scope of 'Tenda Life' and re-examined."

"'Tenda Life' is the lifestyle advocated by President Pei. For President Pei: in stillness, the minimalist philosophy of the argument machine; in motion, the haunted house and the extreme pendulum."

"It has long been reported that President Pei is very fond of extreme sports and often invites friends to play on the extreme pendulum, roller coasters, skydiving, and haunted houses."

"Why does President Pei like these things? Is it just a personal hobby? Now it seems that it's not entirely so."

"When thinking, he can think until late at night in the Sloth Internet Cafe, looking at the flowcharts of various departments."

"But after thinking, when resting, he uses this extreme stimulation to relieve stress and eliminate fatigue."

"So, this video should interpret not only the Thrill Horror House, but also not only the game *Struggle*."

"But all the ideas that President Pei is trying to convey to us through games and various industries of Tenda Life."

"Some people say one thing and do another, telling others to do it, but not doing it themselves."

"But President Pei has been practicing this concept in person."

"This is the biggest breaking of the dimensional wall by the game *Struggle*! It is also the puzzle in the real part that He An didn't answer!"

"So, when President Pei told me not to use *Masterpiece* to answer *Struggle*, I was still a little confused."

"But now I understand, *Struggle* is not just a game, it is a key, a key to help us better understand the real world."

"So, it should not be placed in the *Masterpiece* column, but should be interpreted from a higher perspective."

"This is precisely the meaning of the 'Silent Expresser' series of videos!"

"The above is all the content of this video. Welcome everyone to support us with a triple tap. See you in the next issue!"

...

After watching Qiao Laoshi's video, He An fell into silence.

Some of the views in it, even for him, felt like a thunderclap.

When answering the game *Struggle* before, He An did not deeply analyze some content, such as "how to struggle" and "what is the specific meaning of consumerism," etc.

Perhaps he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, or perhaps he felt that he couldn't say it clearly.

But now He An was surprised to find that President Pei had also given the answer!

That speech to poor students, Sloth Apartments, and the Fully Automatic Argument Machine are actually supplements to the game *Struggle* in the real world.

Tenda's physical stores, including Sloth Internet Cafe, Sloth Takeout, Managed Gym, etc., are indeed more expensive, but in addition to using better materials and being more reassuring, their greatest value is to help customers save attention.

Customers can choose these brands without thinking and without worrying about being deceived. The attention they save can be used to do more meaningful things.

He An originally looked down on these up hosts who interpreted games, thinking that they were just a bunch of laymen. As long as a real game producer took action, they would definitely be crushed to dust.

But now, He An put away this contempt.

Obviously, professional knowledge of games has become He An's stumbling block. He just thoroughly analyzed *Struggle* from the game aspect, but he completely didn't realize that *Struggle* could be analyzed from a higher dimension!

That is to say, the game *Struggle* extends to all aspects of reality, and even He An didn't realize this.

It wasn't until Qiao Laoshi pointed it out that He An suddenly realized.

Originally, He An thought that Qiao Laoshi was on the first floor, he was on the second floor, and President Pei was on the third floor.

But now, Qiao Laoshi climbed to the fourth floor, but found that President Pei was on the fifth floor!

He An was sincerely convinced and silently forwarded this video with his Weibo, and sent three thumbs up emoticons.

In order to make the game *Struggle* to the extreme, President Pei not only used full motion capture, but also meticulously crafted every detail of the game.

He even used many industries in reality to cooperate with this game, leaving a lot of puzzles in reality!

Game and reality are closely linked together, completely beyond He An's imagination.

At this time, there were only four words in He An's mind.

Completely convinced!

Tenda Games, is indeed worthy of being the light of domestic games!

President Pei, is indeed worthy of being a veritable thinker!
