July 11th, Thursday …
Zhang Yan returned home from work with a huge box in her arms.
She poked her head out of the living room to observe the house. She saw her father practicing calligraphy in the study while her mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Hearing the commotion in the living room, Mama Zhang poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Little Yan, you're home? Hurry and call your father out. It's time to eat. "
Zhang Yan placed the huge box on the floor and called her father to the living room to prepare dinner.
Papa Zhang went to wash his hands and noticed the huge box in the living room. He asked, "What's this?"
Zhang Yan replied, "Oh, hasn't our router been in use for a while? The internet speed is a little slow, and the signal coverage is not good. My house is too remote, and the signal is not good. That's why I bought a new router. It can be connected to the original router, and the internet speed will be much faster.
"That way, you won't have to worry about lagging when you watch TV!"
Papa Zhang looked over suspiciously. "Such a huge box?"
Zhang Yan nodded. "Of course. The more high-end the router, the bigger it is. After all, there is too much data to handle. A small machine can't handle it."
She took out a paper knife, opened the box, and took out a huge octopus from the box.
Papa Zhang was very surprised. "Wow, this new router is really big. It's about the size of a small computer."
"Are you sure this is a router? I don't think I've seen such a big one before. "
Zhang Yan nodded. "Of course, this is Tengda Corporation's latest router. It's very high-end.
"If you don't believe me, look at the introduction of the packaging industry!
"Look at this promotional video!"
Papa Zhang looked at the introduction on the packaging suspiciously. It was indeed about the router's parameters.
He took the cell phone from Zhang Yan and looked at the promotional video of the game router on the official website.
As expected, the content was similar.
It was called a game router because it had a dedicated frequency band for games. What's more, it came with a game acceleration function that could reduce lagging during the game. What's more, it could choose a different frequency band between the game and the relationship to minimize the interference between both parties.
Papa Zhang did not have any objections. After all, both he and Zhang Yan's mother had tacitly agreed to Zhang Yan's part-time job as a streamer. Since he wanted to broadcast games as a streamer, it was understandable to buy a better router to increase the network speed.
What's more, Zhang Yan's family conditions were not bad. The area of the house was also relatively large. The signal coverage of a general router would indeed be somewhat poor. It was reasonable to use two routers to form a network.
Zhang Yan deftly installed the game router on the coffee table next to the TV, then plugged in the network cable and the TV cable to start debugging.
Father Zhang helped Zhang Yan's mother serve the dishes while observing the television.
The installation guide actually had AEEIS's voice prompt!
"Please log into your official Tengda account next."
"Please set the name and password of the router and wireless network."
"System upgrade in progress. You can check the automatic upgrade option. As long as the power is maintained, the router will automatically update the firmware when you are resting."
There was nothing special about the installation step by step.
However, Father Zhang found it a little strange. "Why are there so many installation steps for a router? And what is that thing in your hand? Isn't that the controller of a game console? "
Zhang Yan explained, "Aiya, this is the latest model of router. There are many functions in routers now. This router can also integrate the functions of a TV box and cable TV. You can also use it to watch TV and movies in the future.
"A router with such complex functions definitely cannot be plugged in like other small routers. It still has to be set up.
"This is a game controller that I bought in the past. The good thing about this router is that it can be controlled through other brands of game controllers. That saves money on buying a remote control."
Zhang Yan was a game streamer. Although her parents did not play games, they had seen controllers before.
Therefore, Zhang Yan considered that she already had three or four controllers at home. If she bought another version with a controller, it would easily arouse suspicion. Thus, she bought a controller without a controller and used the controllers of other consoles to control this game router.
That way, it would not be easy to arouse suspicion.
Father Zhang nodded. "Alright, hurry over and eat since you're done setting it up."
The three of them chatted as they ate. Father Zhang tapped on his cell phone, seemingly searching for something.
He had memorized the name of this router and searched for Tengda Games Router online. Indeed, he successfully found the official website.
He clicked on the product details page to take a look. There was nothing wrong with it. It was all about the router's specifications.
Although he didn't understand what these parameters meant, the latest computers and flagship chips, as well as the huge storage capacity, still made him feel that it was awesome.
He looked at the price again. It was indeed a little expensive. It was almost ten times more expensive than ordinary circuit breakers!
However, Zhang Yan came from a wealthy family. Her parents were relatively open-minded when it came to spending money. Zhang Yan had already bought a steering wheel package that cost more than ten thousand yuan. Spending four thousand yuan on a game router did not seem to be a big problem.
Father Zhang still felt a little strange. He clicked on the product details page.
Many users were posting their reviews in the details page. All of them were five-star reviews.
"The latest router is really good to use. I'll say goodbye to lagging and enjoy life with technology!"
"This router is really convenient! It can watch movies and watch dramas. It even has the functions of a TV box. It's a very worthwhile purchase. "
"I bought it for my girlfriend. She's very satisfied. Now, it's faster to buy it on shopping websites. I don't have to worry about not being able to beat those scalpers."
"The packaging is exquisite and the quality control is in place. It's rare to see such a meticulously made router. Tengda Corporation is indeed the first in the industry no matter what product it makes."
Papa Zhang scrolled through a few comments before he felt relieved, though he was still skeptical.
No matter how he looked at it, it did look like an ordinary game router.
Zhang Yan knew very well what her father was doing. She suppressed her smile as she chewed on the ribs. That was how she did not expose herself.
Zhang Yan's live-stream business had been doing very well during this period of time. She had always wanted to quit and focus on live-streaming, but her parents did not agree.
The safe and civilized driving offline competition organized by Bunny Tail Live-Stream had ended successfully. These outstanding players and streamers could be considered to have had a taste of being professional racers. In the end, Zhang Yan even got second place in the amateur group and became famous!
Not only was the entire competition live-streaming on Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but the live-stream video was also edited into a variety show and played on Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
Zhang Yan might have some talent and stood out among many amateur players, but she was older after all. It would be difficult for her to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional racer.
However, she was already satisfied that she could participate in similar field competitions frequently.
After participating in this competition, Zhang Yan's live-stream naturally had more viewers. As a female streamer in the safe and civilized driving zone, Zhang Yan had conquered many viewers with her strong strength and indomitable will. Her popularity was also rising!
Bunny Tail Live-Stream was constantly improving the benefits of the streamers. Thus, the money earned from the live-stream business had far exceeded Zhang Yan's original main business.
Zhang Yan felt that it was about time for her to consider quitting. That was because her original main business would take up a lot of her energy, making it impossible for her to focus on live-streaming.
What's more, she did not like this stable job. She felt that she was wasting her time and should not keep occupying the position.
However, her parents did not agree at all. They felt that playing games was not a proper job. Even though the income of a live-streamer was not bad now, the future was too uncertain.
Therefore, her parents' biggest concession was to allow her to be a live-streamer during the part-time period. However, she could not quit her job and become a full-time live-streamer!
Zhang Yan did not have a good solution either. She wanted to gradually change her parents' views, but she could not find any breakthrough.
Zhang Yan also tried to find her father to play safe and civilized driving with the steering wheel, but it did not stimulate Father Zhang's interest in the game. Father Zhang still felt that driving in real life was tiring enough. Why would anyone choose to continue driving in the game? It was simply incomprehensible!
Zhang Yan tried a few times, but it did not work. She could only give up.
It could only be said that entertainment also had a threshold. Entertainment's taste and preferences also needed to be nurtured step by step.
Many people had never played good games before, so their understanding and taste of games naturally could not keep up. Once a person had this kind of stereotype, it would be even more difficult to understand the form of the game in the future.
Many parents viewed games as scourges because they did not have any experience or understanding of truly outstanding games. They only saw the negative effects of those relatively low-quality games on young people.
To let these people who did not play games experience the fun of games was indeed as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Zhang Yan saw the press conference for the game router. At first, she thought that this press conference was a form of entertainment, but after she found out about the console's exclusive game on the Internet, she suddenly had a bold idea.
After dinner, they cleaned the dining table and threw the dishes into the dishwasher. The family sat on the sofa and ate fruits.
Zhang Yan's mother subconsciously wanted to use the remote control to watch TV.
Zhang Yan hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, you can watch TV directly from the game router in the future. Do you see that? All the mainstream video software is here, and it can even connect to cable. "
As Zhang Yan spoke, she stuffed the two controllers into her parents' hands.
Father and Mother Zhang followed Zhang Yan's instructions and pressed the cross button and joystick. They found that they could indeed use the controller to control the router and open the video software.
Seeing that her parents were already interested, Zhang Yan took the opportunity to say, "Oh right, this router also comes with some family puzzle games. Why don't we play a simple game?"
