He needed a website to do a good TPDb rating.
Since there was still space upstairs, Pei Qian planned to hire another group of people to run the website next to Zhongdian Chinese Network.
The TPDb website would list all of Tengda's projects, including all the games it had developed, all the short videos Fei Huang Workspace had filmed, every branch of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Zhongdian Chinese Network, Upwind Courier stations, and so on.
The website would have simple categories, including games, movies, lifestyle, physical objects, and so on. It would be easy to categorize and search.
If Tengda wanted to enter new industries in the future, the website's categories would be updated in real time.
There would not be too much introduction to these projects on the website. It would only provide a simple page with some basic information about these projects.
The main part would be the ratings and details.
The ratings would be divided into four categories: internal ratings, media ratings, consumer ratings, and netizens' ratings.
The final rating would be calculated according to the ratings of these four categories with a certain weight.
The website was open for registration, but the accounts of Tengda's internal employees had special privileges. They could click on the 'internal ratings' tab to open the intranet and view the senior management ratings, internal employees' opinions, and so on.
Ordinary users could only see the specific values of the internal ratings and could not open the intranet.
The media ratings tab would integrate some major authoritative media ratings and repost some review articles.
Consumer ratings and netizens' ratings would be displayed separately. Only users who provided spending records could view consumer ratings. Netizens' ratings were unlimited.
TPDb would also use a more complicated rating mechanism for specific ratings. Each account's rating weight was different, and the specific weight could only be viewed by internal staff with higher authority.
Some improper behavior could affect the rating weight of the account.
For example, if a big V received dirty money and gave a 1 star to a project with an average score of more than 4 or gave a full score to a project with an average score of 2, it could affect his rating weight in the future.
Of course, this was not to stifle the differences. After all, everyone's evaluation of good and bad was very subjective. It could not be ruled out that some people did not like the work that everyone boasted of. They just wanted to give the work one star from the bottom of their hearts.
However, such a retaliatory one-star rating actually went against the objective and fair principles of rating. Thus, it would affect the rating weight of the account.
At the same time, if someone frequently switched accounts, which meant that multiple accounts used the same IP address to log in, the rating weight of these accounts would also be reduced.
In short, it was to eliminate these unobjective ratings as much as possible, so that each item's rating was closer to the value it deserved.
Pei Qian handed the preliminary preparations for the website to Ma Yiqun for the time being. That was because Zhongdian Chinese Network was basically on the right track during this period. Ma Yiqun was not as busy as before.
After some time, after the preparatory work for TPDb was completed, they would select a suitable person to manage it.

September 1st.
At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe …
Qiao Liang took a sip of the coffee that the waiter had brought over from the bar counter. He felt that life was relaxing and comfortable.
His fan group was still flashing non-stop. If he wasn't careful, there would be 99 + messages popping up. It was impossible to read all of them.
During this period, Qiao Liang did not really appear in his fan group. That was because he had been fighting to the death with Repent and be Saved. He had to play for eight hours every day. He was under a lot of pressure.
What's more, he could not reveal the contents of Repent and be Saved to the outside world. He had signed a contract to keep his mouth shut.
However, Qiao Liang had finally found some tricks. His progress in the game had increased significantly, and he did not feel as much pressure as he did at the beginning.
After looking at the chatter in the group and taking a break, Qiao Liang opened Repent and be Saved again. He was prepared to defeat the Meng Po boss that he had been stuck at for a long time.
After opening the game, an update notification popped up.
"Oh, it's been updated again."
Qiao Liang was already used to this. That was because he was playing the development version. Repent and be Saved's project team had been making frequent changes to the game. That was why there would be new updates every day.
These updates came in different sizes. The smaller ones were a few hundred kilobytes. They might just be updating a configuration table. The bigger ones were a few hundred megabytes. They might be updating a bunch of scenery resources.
The update this time was not considered big. The internet cafe's internet speed was also fast. The update finished in a few minutes.
"I wonder how much of the suggestions I made to Boss Pei last time have been modified."
For some reason, Qiao Liang felt a little excited.
A week ago, Boss Pei had come to ask some questions about the game. Qiao Liang had also given his suggestions in detail.
The initial villages and towns were too difficult. Since it was the players' first time and they had not gotten used to the game mode, it was obvious that they would be dissuaded. The later scenes would be easier.
In other words, Qiao Liang hoped that the difficulty of the first two scenes would be slightly lower and that the later scenes would be the same.
In terms of weapons, Qiao Liang felt that the hatchet was very useful in the early stages. It was agile, had fast attack speed, and dealt significant damage. The crescent blade was especially useful for chopping.
In other words, Qiao Liang felt that the other unpopular weapons were a little awkward to use. He suggested that they improve the feel of the weapon.
During the previous updates, Qiao Liang had been waiting for the design team to make adjustments in these areas. However, his expectations had been dashed.
Perhaps it was because there were too many changes to the balance. They could not be completed in a short period of time.
This time, Qiao Liang had finally waited for it.
After the version update, he took a look at the update log and found that there were indeed a lot of changes to the balance of the game!
"Boss Pei is really a conscientious designer who listens to the players' opinions!"
Qiao Liang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
He clicked on the details page of the balance adjustment to take a closer look. He wanted to see which unpopular weapon had been strengthened so that he could use it to defeat Boss Meng Po.
"Increased the attack power of the monsters in the River of Forgetfulness, Three-Life Stone, and other scenes. Increased the types and attack methods of the monsters.
[The excessive damage from Hatchet's low level of strengthening has been restored to normal. As compensation, the damage of its charged attack has been slightly increased.]
"Fixed the bug of the crescent blade's vertical slash speed."
There were many other similar balance adjustments, but they were all weakening!
Basically, all the weapons that Teacher Qiao had thought were good to use had been weakened.
For example, the hatchet had directly reduced the basic damage of the low-leveled weapons in the early stages. That way, novice players could no longer use the hatchet to attack from the early stages to the middle stages.
Of course, this weapon could still be used because the damage of charged attacks was increased. However, if he used charged attacks, the preparation time and swing of the attack would be longer. The advantage of the chopper's agility would no longer exist. If he wanted to use it, he would need better techniques.
It was the same for the Guandao. After fixing the bug that caused it to slash vertically too fast, it was no longer possible to mindlessly slash at monsters. If one wanted to use this weapon well, they would need better techniques.
Of course, only Pei Qian knew if it was a bug or not.
Qiao Liang was in a daze, unable to believe his eyes.
"All the weapons that I thought were useful … were cut off?"
"Then why the hell am I going to fight Meng Po today? I might not even be able to beat the monsters in front of me!"
Qiao Liang looked at his chopper and guandao, which had been strengthened several times, and slumped into his chair.
It was like returning to the days before liberation in one night!
The delicious coffee instantly lost its aroma.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Qiao Liang felt a deep sense of loss …
