Pei Qian quietly went to the second level of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He wanted to see how Teacher Qiao was doing.
After all, to Pei Qian, watching Teacher Qiao suffer was an important part of his boring life. It was also his motivation to continue suffering in Repent and be Saved.
However, Pei Qian was disappointed.
Teacher Qiao didn't stare blankly at the screen like last time. Instead, he was leisurely drinking a cocktail and leaning back in his chair, looking rather relaxed.
A blurry yellow appeared on the computer screen, filled with a light green fog. Pei Qian could tell at a glance that this was the scene at the end of the Yellow Springs Road. They were about to reach the River of Forgetfulness and the Bridge of Helplessness.
"F * ck, what's going on …"
"His progress is only slightly slower than mine?"
"No … he's faster than me!"
Pei Qian was confused.
At the moment, Pei Qian had already reached the entrance to the Six Realms of Reincarnation. From the game's layout, after crossing the River of Forgetfulness and the Bridge of Helplessness would be the Village Viewing Platform and the Three-Life Stone. After passing the Three-Life Stone, he would then reach the Yama Palace or the Six Realms of Reincarnation.
However, after Pei Qian obtained Pudu, he took a shortcut. From the end of the Yellow Springs Road, he skipped the Bridge of Helplessness, the Three-Life Stone, and other scenes and arrived at the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
From this perspective, Teacher Qiao had already completed more games than Pei Qian.
"No, this isn't right …"
Pei Qian felt a little dizzy. It was only then that he realized that he had underestimated Teacher Qiao's ability to endure hardships and his gaming IQ!
Teacher Qiao's gaming skills were not top-notch. His previous video shows were mainly about inventory and explanation. Naturally, Pei Qian thought that Teacher Qiao would suffer a lot in Repent and be Saved.
However, Pei Qian now realized that he seemed to have underestimated Teacher Qiao's standards.
Come to think of it, it made sense. As a gamer who could endure driving for eight hours, dying in a game like Repent and be Saved would be much more interesting than driving, right?
Moreover, judging from Teacher Qiao's expression, he had already learned to find joy in hardship and was even enjoying it a little …
Pei Qian felt a little flustered.
Now that Teacher Qiao was no longer suffering, his source of happiness was gone!
How was he going to persevere in the future?
Of course, this was not the main reason.
More importantly, if Teacher Qiao could rely on his own hard work and perseverance to reach his current level, did that mean that the game's difficulty threshold was not high enough?
If the game's difficulty threshold was not high enough, it would not be able to dissuade enough players. That way, the game's sales would not be low, and it might even be profitable …
That would be a big deal!
Looking at Teacher Qiao's expression, Pei Qian immediately imagined the serious consequences.
No, I can't let it go like this!
Boss Pei was a person who was good at mending the pen after the sheep were lost. How could he sit back and do nothing now that he had seen the danger?
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
Qiao Liang was drinking cocktails and thinking about how to play the next part of the game when he suddenly realized that Boss Pei was here.
"Boss Pei!
Qiao Liang was all smiles.
After the 'misunderstanding' was cleared up ', he looked at Boss Pei as if he was looking at a family member. He was especially friendly.
Pei Qian smiled and pulled a chair over from the side. Although he did not feel close to Teacher Qiao at all, he still tried his best to smile.
After all, he still had to squeeze more value out of Teacher Qiao.
It had been a week since Teacher Qiao arrived in Jingzhou. Excluding the weekends, Teacher Qiao had accumulated more than forty hours of gaming time.
Repent and be Saved's content was not as rich as the Souls series. According to initial estimates, if players were familiar with the game, they would be able to complete the main plot in about thirty hours.
If players were perfectionists and wanted to play the game in all its details and even obtain achievements, this time could be extended to fifty to sixty hours.
If players were lousy … this time could be endless.
Teacher Qiao was not used to the game when he first started. He kept dying and getting lost in the early stages. What's more, he was a perfectionist. That was why he had only reached this stage after playing for forty hours. He had only completed about sixty percent of the game.
However, his current understanding of the game should be more in place.
"How do you feel?" Pei Qian smiled and asked.
Qiao Liang perked up.
Eh? Boss Pei was asking the same question again!
He clearly remembered that Boss Pei had asked him the same question the last time he came to the internet cafe. At that time, he felt that the game's difficulty was wrong.
However, Qiao Liang understood now. There was nothing wrong with the game's difficulty. Boss Pei had purposely made the game this difficult!
During this period, Qiao Liang slowly felt the unique charm of such a difficult game. Naturally, his answer was different.
"I feel great! I haven't felt this kind of challenge while playing a game for a long time. "Qiao Liang was full of energy.
Indeed, the situation was not good.
Pei Qian's worries were verified. He tried his best to remain calm and asked, "So, how do you feel about the game's difficulty? If you were to rate the difficulty of each scene, how would you rate it? What about the ratings for the monsters and weapons? "
Qiao Liang was very happy. It seemed like Boss Pei valued my opinion very much. He was actually asking such detailed questions!
Qiao Liang perked up at the mention of the game. He immediately became a chatterbox.
"In terms of difficulty, I feel that the villages and towns are the most difficult. The difficulty seems to have decreased after that. Of course, it could also be because I've gotten used to the game's routine after I left the towns. That's why I feel that the difficulty has decreased …
"In terms of weapons, the best weapon in the early stages is a chopper. It's flexible, fast, and has considerable damage. It can basically be used from the early stages to the middle stages." As for the guandao, it's especially useful for chopping vertically. You can basically kill ninety percent of the monsters with just that … "
Qiao Liang did not suspect anything as he talked about his understanding of the game during this period.
Pei Qian silently noted it down.
Actually, he did not know much about these weapons. However, since Teacher Qiao felt that these weapons were useful, they were really useful.
Qiao Liang was not considered a gamer who was good at operating. His perseverance surpassed ninety-nine percent of gamers, and his gaming IQ surpassed seventy percent of gamers. However, his operating skills were only above average.
Since that was the case, wasn't targeting Teacher Qiao the same as targeting ordinary gamers?
Qiao Liang spoke his mind and gave pointers. He had never felt so good before.
In the past, he could only complain on the internet and self-deprecate in his own fan group. The game developers did not care about him at all.
However, now that the game developers were in front of him and listening to his suggestions seriously, he had to perform well!
"Hmm … that's about it. All in all, although there are many difficulties, as long as you use these strong weapons well, you can still overcome them! "
Qiao Liang still wanted to continue.
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes, they're all good suggestions. I'll go back and ask them to revise them properly!"
Looking at Boss Pei's serious expression, Qiao Liang actually felt a little flattered.
Of course, he could not guess how much of Boss Pei's words were out of courtesy. After all, when gamers gave feedback to the customer service about the game, the most common response from the customer service was' we've received your suggestions and will provide feedback to the design team '. However, who knew if the design team would revise them or not?
Thus, Qiao Liang did not take it too seriously. He only felt that Boss Pei's attitude was quite touching.
After all, such a successful game designer was humbly listening to his suggestions. He was not ashamed to ask his subordinates for advice.
Indeed, Boss Pei's success was not without a reason!
…
…
Back at the office, Pei Qian's fingers flew across his computer as he quickly wrote down what Teacher Qiao had said.
In Teacher Qiao's opinion, the small villages and towns were the most difficult.
Actually, according to the settings, the difficulty of the later scenes would continue to increase. However, Lu Mingliang and the others had overlooked a problem: the threshold for players to suffer would also continue to increase.
The monsters in the small villages and towns were all encountered for the first time. That was why they were very difficult. However, as players slowly got used to the rhythm of the game, the difficulty level was no longer enough.
Since that was the case, he would continue to increase the difficulty of the later scenes!
There were also weapons. Didn't Teacher Qiao like choppers the most? Chop!
Didn't he say that the vertical chop of the guandao was very useful? Chop!
All in all, the weapons that Teacher Qiao felt were very useful were definitely weapons that beginners could use to skip class. Chop them all.
They were definitely the kind that would kill with a knife and stand out like a lunatic.
In any case, it was none of Boss Pei's business. Boss Pei was using his exclusive weapon.
He made a simple list and handed it to Li Yada.
"Adjust the balance according to this," Pei Qian said simply.
Li Yada took the list and looked at it. The changes were really detailed.
For a weapon like the guandao, it was clearly written that it would only weaken the vertical chop. It was very targeted.
"Alright, Boss Pei. I'll do it right away!"
Li Yada could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei really strived for perfection.
Recently, when she went to report to Boss Pei, Boss Pei had been playing with Pudu. She did not know when Boss Pei had found the time to try out all the other weapons.
Indeed, Boss Pei had achieved his current success because he had been working hard in places that others could not see.
Li Yada took the list and seriously tried to figure out Boss Pei's design intentions.
Pei Qian sat on the chair and suddenly felt guilty. He felt that he had let Teacher Qiao down.
Although it was to increase the difficulty level, it seemed a little too much to chop all the weapons that Teacher Qiao was familiar with.
Since that was the case, Pei Qian would treat him to a meal to make it up to him!
Teacher Qiao had contributed greatly to the balance of Repent and be Saved. To express his gratitude, Pei Qian would treat him to a good meal at Ming Yun Private Kitchen. That would not be too much, right?
At that thought, Pei Qian took out his cell phone and dialed Chef Lin's number.
"Help me make a reservation for dinner tomorrow."
On the other end of the line, Lin Canrong was stunned. "Er, Boss Pei, someone has already made a reservation."
"En?"
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
Was it that repeat customer from the previous time?
"Then, don't make a reservation for the biggest private room. Just change to a smaller private room."
Lin Canrong coughed twice. "Boss Pei, all the seats are reserved."
“???”
Pei Qian felt a little dizzy. An ominous feeling engulfed him. "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Lin Canrong answered honestly, "Boss Pei, forget about the day after tomorrow. The current schedule is already next week …"
Pei Qian fell into a daze.
What the hell?!
Didn't I only miss a week? What happened to Ming Yun Private Kitchen?
