January 9th, Monday …
Pei Qian woke up early and headed to the self-study room.
There were only two exams left in the exam week. One was open-book, and the other was closed-book.
Strictly speaking, the difficulty of the open-book exam would not be too low. It would not be easy to get high scores either. However, as long as one was familiar with the notes and textbooks, they would be able to get a good score. Thus, they did not need to spend too much effort.
To Pei Qian, the closed-book exam was much more difficult. After all, he had to memorize everything by rote. If he could not memorize it, he could not memorize it. There was no room for fooling around.
Thus, Pei Qian still focused most of his energy on the closed-book subjects. He wanted to rely on his own efforts to make a breakthrough and not just pass.
He had to score 65 or 70 at the very least, right?
If he scored 60 points, it would be difficult for Pei Qian to tell if it was because of his hard work or the examiner's hard work. If it was 65 or 70 points, it would definitely be because of his hard work!
There was a huge difference between the two.
Pei Qian spread out his notes in the self-study room. His cell phone was completely silent and placed it somewhere he could not reach. Then, he began to revise.
Last weekend, almost all the news in the E-Sports circle had been divided up by IOI's global finals and GPL's Spring Competition. What's more, they had even gone out of the circle. Even many people who did not pay attention to E-Sports had obtained this news from various channels.
To be more precise, 99% of the news in IOI's finals was related to FV Club.
As the last and only seedling in the country, they had defeated the veteran European and American team, CEM, with a clean 3: 0. This made the domestic audience feel proud and elated. There was no doubt that they would receive all the attention and applause.
Long Yu Corporation could influence the domestic media to a certain extent, but there was nothing Long Yu Corporation could do about the current situation.
FV Club was the absolute focus now. Would they not report it just because you did not want the media to?
Thus, Zhao Xuming obviously gave up. He would accept it calmly since he could not change it.
FV Club's popularity could also bring some popularity to IOI. To Zhao Xuming, this was not a loss.
This situation was a little difficult for Pei Qian.
That was because the popularity of GPL and FV Team had a direct relationship with him.
The popularity of the GPL meant that the price of various sponsorships and advertisements would also rise. The more popular the league was, the more money they would make. On the other hand, it was hard to say if FV Team would revitalize IOI's local server if they obtained good results, but it would definitely make FV Team's value soar.
At that time, all kinds of sponsors and investments would come one after another. That scene was too beautiful to imagine.
Of course, there would be a huge bonus for every win after entering the top eight. According to FV Team's rules, the bonus obtained from the competition was 20% after tax deduction for the club, 20% for the coaching team, and 60% for the members.
Therefore, to Pei Qian, the prize money was not too bad. After all, most of it was distributed to the players and the coaching staff.
Of course, if they won the championship, the prize money would indeed be a lot. Based on 50% of 3 million US dollars, after deducting 1.5 million US dollars from taxes, there should be less than 300,000 US dollars left for the club.
Even with 25% of the sales revenue from Finger Games' exclusive skin, it should not be a lot.
If converted to RMB, it would only amount to a few million yuan. To Pei Qian, who had seen worse things than this, it was really nothing.
What's more, they might not necessarily win the championship.
FV had only just won the top eight now. While the top eight was relatively smooth, that was the international competition. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. The strength of the opponents in the top four and finals would definitely increase exponentially.
Wasn't it a little too much to want to be the champion after winning the top eight?
What's more, the prize money that the club received would definitely be used for special purposes. Since it was the prize money earned by the club, it would definitely be used for the club's daily operations. Wu Yue would just have to think of a way to spend it.
Thus, Pei Qian felt that he could almost shift his focus away from Los Angeles after pondering over the painful experience.
He had hoped that FV Club would go to Los Angeles and spend more money for him, but he did not expect FV to perform so well. That made Pei Qian feel slightly disappointed.
Since he could not count on them anymore, he would turn his attention to other businesses.
The short settlement cycle was almost here. All sorts of products should be released in a week or two. He had to pay close attention.
Of course, no matter how big the matter was, it would have to be dealt with after the exam.
Pei Qian placed his cell phone further away from him and began to revise seriously.
…
At 12 noon.
Satisfied, Pei Qian stretched lazily. He had completed his learning task for the morning.
"My cell phone is indeed a jinx. The distance from me is directly proportional to my revision efficiency: the closer the distance, the lower my revision efficiency."
"I'm going to eat delicious food!"
Pei Qian, who had been revising for the entire morning without looking at his cell phone, felt a little proud. He packed his notes and left the study room, preparing to have a meal at the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
He took his cell phone to see if there was any new news.
In the end, no one from the company looked for him. Instead, the cell phone itself sent a system update notification.
"New stable version update notification? The stable version has finally been developed. "
Pei Qian looked at his cell phone and saw that it still had enough battery. He chose to update it directly.
Pei Qian was also using the Otto E1 cell phone now.
This cell phone was released in March last year. It had been ten months since it was used.
It was still smooth and not lagging. After all, it was using the flagship chip at that time.
When he first held it, the 247g phone was indeed very heavy and pressuring. However, he got used to it after using it for a long time.
What's more, the advantage of a large battery was that he could completely get rid of the worry about battery. He could play with his cell phone freely every day and still have battery when he got home.
Of course, this might also be an important reason why Pei Qian's revision efficiency was so low.
In these ten months, Otto E1 cell phone had also frequently undergone some small system updates. They had been continuously optimizing some functions. However, this current major update was a big move that had been held back for a few months.
In fact, the development had been completed long ago. However, the cell phone system update had to be done carefully. That was because once the official version was released, most cell phone users would choose to update. It would be a huge accident if something went wrong during the update and caused the collection of data to be lost.
Therefore, the new stable version of Otto E1 cell phone was only officially released today.
The system update was finally completed when Pei Qian walked to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and ordered his meal.
"There are so many updates. Let's see what changes there are."
Pei Qian checked the new system on his cell phone as he ate.
The most intuitive feeling was that it seemed to be much smoother?
Whether it was sliding the desktop, dragging icons, or other operations, they all became as smooth as silk. The feeling was very similar to the feeling of PINEAPPLE cell phone.
Furthermore, it might be because of Otto
The E1 was originally equipped with a high refresh rate and a flagship chip. This smooth feeling was even better than the PINEAPPLE cell phone!
In addition, the system functions that had been updated previously could be freely customized according to one's preferences.
For example, one could freely drag the calendar, clock, and alarm clock to the desktop or delete them. One could also customize the content on the negative screen. As long as one spent a little time, one could modify the cell phone's interface to be the most comfortable and convenient one.
This was the result of the entire team of Otto Technologies after months of sharpening their swords.
Previously, Chang You had intended to add some system functions to the cell phone, but Pei Qian had rejected it.
Pei Qian had asked Chang You to focus on fine-tuning the details, including linear animation, and so on. Everything was in line with PINEAPPLE cell phone. After all, these changes would only improve the user's touch slightly. It would not affect the actual power supply. It was a thankless change.
However, there were pros and cons to everything. After months of patient adjustments, the linear animation of Otto E1 cell phone's new system was finally complete. It could be released!
Every operation on the cell phone gave people an incomparably smooth feeling.
That could not be helped. The developers of Otto Technologies had to do something. Even if they did not do linear animation, they would do other functions.
Pei Qian kept opening and closing the cell phone application process. After playing for a while, he was satisfied and continued to look at other changes.
The camera system had also been greatly updated. It was basically a complete redo compared to the previous camera system. There were a lot of new functions.
As a cell phone released ten months ago, Otto E1's camera module was already slightly behind. However, a large number of optimization algorithms had been added to the camera system this time, including automatic picture recognition, automatic color matching, automatic beauty, and so on.
Simply put, it would automatically recognize photos and determine whether they were taking photos of food, scenery, or people. Then, it would automatically switch to the corresponding algorithm to make the photos look better.
Of course, users could also quickly choose to turn off all algorithms when taking photos and take the most original photos.
However, most people still preferred photos that the system had automatically edited. After all, it looked better.
Many beauty cameras were criticized by people because they had been edited too much. For example, the colors were too bright, the saturation was too high, or the beauty caused an imbalance in proportion. It made people feel that it was fake.
On the other hand, Otto E1's camera system had been repeatedly tested in the imaging laboratory. Many professional photographers had studied it for a long time, trying their best to find a balance between restoring the original appearance and beautifying the post-processing.
In addition, the AEEIS cell phone assistant had also been updated.
In fact, almost all domestic cell phones were using the voice technology of Xunke Technologies. Many of Shenhua and other domestic cell phone brands had already used voice assistants.
AEEIS's packaging was different from these voice assistants. There was no significant improvement in practicality. Thus, this was not a very sensational news.
Apart from that, there were other miscellaneous updates. However, if Pei Qian himself did not notice them, the users would not have noticed them either.
He briefly summarized the system updates that he had seen so far. There were only three biggest changes: a smoother linear animation that was comparable to PINEAPPLE cell phones, a better-tuned camera system, and AEEIS voice assistant.
Pei Qian felt that all of this was acceptable.
Although they all had a certain effect on the user's daily experience of using the phone, they all belonged to the category of "perception is not strong". The details were much more refined, but there were no special features that could cause a sensation.
At present, Otto Technologies
The E1 cell phone had already entered the end of its life. At the rate of one cell phone being released a year, a new cell phone would be released after this cycle's settlement. The E1 model would then officially come to an end.
There were so many new functions at the end of the model's life, so new users wouldn't buy a phone just for this. Since no one was buying cell phones, Pei Qian would not be able to earn money. Everything would be fine, and Boss Pei would not be hurt.
However, just as Pei Qian let his guard down, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a new system app on his cell phone: Mall!
This shopping mall mainly integrated some of Tengda's daily products. Users of Otto Technologies could directly place orders here and enjoy some exclusive discounts.
After all, Otto Technologies might look like a cell phone on the surface, but it was actually a VIP for all of Tengda's businesses.
Pei Qian opened the Merchant Shop and saw a line of words on the interface.
"The Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, AEEIS, is officially released!"
