He switched on the television and was just in time to catch the second GPL competition.
However, as he ate Fish-Catching Take-Out and watched the GPL competition, Qiao Liang's mind was filled with the plot of Ocean Stronghold's downloadable content.
"Despicable cliffhanger!"
This plot confused Qiao Liang, but his gaming addiction was completely aroused.
He suddenly realized that the downloadable content of the old games that had been updated intensively in the past few months were all related. They were all linked to Tengda's new game!
Or rather, it could be said that it was publicity and warm-up.
The updated downloadable content of The Lonely Desert Road had a new vehicle skin. It was a miniature spaceship that was rich in technology. There was also a new game scene on the surface of a dark red planet filled with gravel.
There was a bickering assistant in Game Designer, AEEIS. It turned out that it was also the artificial intelligence in Ocean Stronghold's new plot and the voice assistant in Otto Technologies' cell phone.
Ocean Stronghold's new plot mode was equivalent to a large-scale plot foresight. The plot of Qin Yi and this team's mission was so confusing. It must be related to the game's plot. The new epic weapon was the standard weapon of the Skylark Combat Suit (weakened version).
At the moment, he did not know what the downloadable content of Repent and be Saved was related to the new game. However, it was most likely related to this new sci-fi game with the Zergs as its theme.
Qiao Liang quickly found the answer online.
There were really players who started to work hard on Repent and be Saved's reincarnation mode as soon as the downloadable content was updated. They relied on their exquisite skills and good luck to obtain the reward for clearing the reincarnation mode: a set of Zerg-Style clothes and weapons.
This set of clothes seemed to be pieced together from the Zerg's carapace. The weapon in his hand was a huge, curved, and strangely shaped Zerg claw.
Compared to other in-game costumes, this set of clothes had good defense and low weight. It was very useful. The weapon's values might not be as perverted as a bug-like weapon like 'Pudu', but its attack movements were more unique and very convenient.
At this point, Tengda's new round of downloadable content for old games was completed. Not only did it enrich the gameplay and content, but the most important thing was to advertise it with the new game.
Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional. "Boss Pei is too cunning!
"These are obviously the models and textures of the new game. After some slight changes, they can be used to make downloadable content for the old game. Not only does it save resources, but it also promotes the new game."
"All I want to say is … please increase the intensity!"
Although there were suspicions of saving resources, overall, it was still satisfactory because the quality of the downloadable content was indeed very high, and the price was very reasonable.
The only thing that he was not satisfied with was that the plot of Ocean Stronghold's downloadable content ended at the end.
Although he knew that this was a very good publicity method, it was still very uncomfortable to not be able to see the rest of the plot. He wished that Tengda's new game could be officially released tomorrow.
It could only be said that good works always made people love and hate them at the same time. If Tengda Games were all rubbish, everyone would not have such high hopes for it.
Qiao Liang casually flipped through the gamers' comments online and found that most gamers were very satisfied with this update. What's more, their anticipation for Tengda's new game could be said to be unprecedentedly high.
"The new downloadable content is too kind! Especially the new plot of Ocean Stronghold. As a standalone game, it would not be a problem to sell it for about 45 yuan. They really gave it away for free! "
"How can they give it away for free? Didn't they produce an epic weapon that costs 888 yuan? This wave, this wave is for ballers to spend, and the commoners to benefit."
"You might not believe it, but the most kind FPS game in the country is actually Ocean Stronghold, which sells 888 Red Kilins. That's ridiculous."
"I feel like Tengda is really playing a big game. So many downloadable content of the game are all promoting the new game. This new game must be very impressive! Could it be that they have invested hundreds of millions of yuan? "
"It might not be hundreds of millions, but from the looks of it, the scale is definitely not small. Can any big boss guess what type of game this is? "
"That's hard to say. From the theme, it must be sci-fi, a war between humans and Zergs. Logically speaking, FPS games are the most likely. However, Ocean Stronghold's downloadable content is already FPS. Wouldn't it be a little repetitive if it was made again? It's quite hard to guess. "
"I also think that FPS games are the most likely. The other themes are a little cold. I don't think it's possible to make them, right?"
"I don't really understand this plot. Did Qin Yi die in the end? Did the decapitation operation succeed? It looks like it succeeded, but if it really succeeded, what is this story trying to express? Something's not right. "
"I think it's very likely that it didn't succeed. There will definitely be a follow-up plot. Wait patiently."
Many players used the plot of Ocean Stronghold to brainstorm and try their best to find clues left behind by the designer. They also guessed the possible direction of the plot of Tengda's new game.
However, these guesses could not convince players. It was contrary to the designer's original intentions.
However, everyone still enjoyed guessing tirelessly. After all, the process itself was quite interesting.
Suddenly, Qiao Liang saw a post that made his eyes light up. "Holy sh * t! I realized that the AEEIS on Otto's cell phone has a special function. It can actually exchange lines with me! "
Qiao Liang was a little surprised. He clicked on the post and took a closer look. He realized that the original poster was using Otto's cell phone. On a whim, he said one of Qin Yi's lines in the game to AEEIS. He did not expect AEEIS to immediately connect and perfectly reproduce the conversation in the game!
Many players who used Otto Technologies' cell phones discovered this function. Some even said that AEEIS's Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine had the same effect and was even better.
"Eh? That's right, this AEEIS seems to be part of Boss Pei's plan! "
"Wait, what is the AEEIS Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine?"
Qiao Liang's own cell phone was also Otto E1.
E1 had just been updated with a new system. He had used AEEIS for a while, but he did not have the habit of using voice assistants, so he had not had the time to experience it in depth.
As for the publicity page of the AEEIS Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, it was hidden deep in the Otto Otto Shopping App. Qiao Liang usually did not sell things in this shopping app, so he would not pay attention to it.
It was only when he saw this post that Qiao Liang realized that Otto Technologies had actually released such a thing.
With some curiosity, Qiao Liang immediately clicked into the shopping app and quickly found the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine in an eye-catching spot.
The shape was similar to the original bickering machine, but it was obviously longer and taller. Its specifications and parameters were clearly written on the product details page — strictly speaking, it should be an echo wall.
Qiao Liang could not help but be shocked. "There's actually an upgrade? And an echo wall? "
He looked at his big television and then at his first-generation bickering machine.
Then, he decisively ordered a new one.
"Coincidentally, I need surround sound when I play games. It's just right with a big television. Order!"
"There's actually a trade-in function. The old bickering machine can still be discounted. That's quite humane."
Qiao Liang looked at the time. It was already night time. It would only arrive tomorrow morning even if it was delivered directly from Jingzhou's local warehouse.
That made him feel a little regretful. He thought to himself that it would be great if he had discovered this Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine earlier.
If he had placed an order at noon, wouldn't it have arrived by now?
It looked like he could only experience it tomorrow and consider producing a video to introduce it to his fans.

January 13th, Friday …
Pei Qian was checking on the progress of various projects in his office.
He might feel that it was very troublesome and he was very unwilling, but he had not asked about these projects because he had been busy preparing for the exam. Now that the exam was finally over, he had to pay attention.
It was not that he was afraid of something happening, but he was mainly afraid that nothing would happen.
According to his previous experience, these projects would one day come knocking on his door with a huge sum of System Funds if Pei Qian did not care about these projects at all.
Thus, he had to discover and treat them early.
It was Friday today, and it was almost the weekend. Pei Qian planned to do a rough understanding of the various projects on Friday, understand the situation, and organize his thoughts. He would rest for two days over the weekend and welcome the 'high-intensity work state' from next Monday.
Pei Qian first checked on Qiu Hong's incubation base in Beijing.
Previously, Pei Qian had asked Tang Yishu to make a trip to Beijing. While giving the Cold-Faced Lady a heavy blow, the incubation base was also greatly affected. There were many bugs in the independent game that was being developed. He had no choice but to spend more effort to modify it.
At the same time, the incubation base had also organized independent game designers to play games together according to Pei Qian's request, greatly delaying their research and development time.
Thus, most of the games that were scheduled to be released last month were skipped to the middle and end of this month.
Those with more serious effects skipped to the next month or even the month after that.
However, in the System, the incubation base and Dream Realization Ventures were similar in nature. These independent game designers were like startup companies invested in by Dream Realization Ventures. Their products were not considered products of Tengda's direct department and would not affect settlement.
As long as the incubation base and Dream Realization Ventures were still operating normally, and the companies they invested in were still operating normally and working, the System's restrictions on them would be more relaxed. It would not be as strict as Tengda's direct departments.
That was also the reason why Pei Qian was becoming more and more passionate about giving money to others to spend.
Among the many games in the incubation base, only two games had withstood the pressure and been released. However, from the current situation, they were far from being successful. One of them had a bad style and gameplay. It could be said that no one was interested in it. The other had a good reputation, but the sales were not good. It was a classic case of being good but not popular.
All in all, they did not earn any money. They did not even get back the investment that the incubation base had made in these two games.
Qiu Hong also felt ashamed. He could feel his guilt and lack of confidence through the work weekly report.
However, Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.
Alright, I told you that there were many talents among independent game designers. There would always be talents who could make loss-incurring games!
The incubation base was indeed a good idea!
According to Qiu Hong's thoughts, there was no need to continue investing resources and time into a game that had already been proven to be a failure. He would arrange for these two independent game designers to start conceptualizing and developing new independent game projects.
Pei Qian immediately decided to call Qiu Hong to correct his wrong thoughts when he saw this.
How could he give up on such a good project just like that?
He had to continue investing resources in it! The more, the better!
