Thursday, July 11th.
Zhang Yan returned home from get off work, carrying a big box in her arms.
She peeked into the room from the living room and saw her father practicing calligraphy in the study and her mother preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Hearing the movement in the living room, Zhang's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Xiaoyan is home? Go and call your dad out. It's time to eat."
Zhang Yan put the big box on the ground and called her father into the living room to prepare for dinner.
Zhang's father went to wash his hands and then found the big box on the living room and asked, "What is this?"
Zhang Yan replied: "Oh, hasn't our router been used for a while? The network speed is a bit slow, and the signal coverage is not good. My house is too remote and the signal is often poor. So I bought another one.
If you get a router, you can connect it to the original router, and the network speed will increase a lot."
“This way you don’t have to worry about lagging when watching TV!”
Father Zhang looked over suspiciously: "Such a big box?"
Zhang Yan nodded: "Of course, the more high-end routers are now, the bigger they are. After all, the amount of data to be processed is too much, and the small machine cannot hold it."
She took out a paper knife to unpack and took out a huge octopus from the box.
Father Zhang was very surprised: "Oh, this new router is so big, it's almost the same as a small computer."
"Are you sure this is a router? I don't think I've seen one this big before."
Zhang Yan nodded: "Of course, this is the latest router from Tenda Group, it's high-end."
“If you don’t believe me, look at this introduction to the packaging industry!”
"Watch this promotional video again!"
Zhang's father looked at the introduction on the packaging box doubtfully, and found that it was indeed introducing the relevant parameters of the router.
He took the phone from Zhang Yan's hand again and watched the game router promotional video on the official website.
Sure enough, the content of the introduction is also very similar.
The reason why it is called a game router may be because this router has a dedicated frequency band for games and has a built-in game acceleration function, which can effectively reduce the lag problem during the game and select different frequency bands between games and relationships.
Minimize interference to both parties.
Zhang's father didn't have any objections to this. After all, he and Zhang Yan's mother both approved of Zhang Yan's side job as an anchor. Since she is an anchor and wants to broadcast games, it would be okay to buy a better router to increase the Internet speed.
There is nothing wrong with that.
What's more, Zhang Yan's home is in good condition and the house is relatively large. The signal coverage of ordinary routers is indeed somewhat poor, so it makes sense to use two routers to build a network.
Zhang Yan quickly installed the game router on the coffee table next to the TV, then plugged in the network power supply and TV cable to start debugging.
Zhang's father helped Zhang Yan's mother serve food while watching the scenes on TV.
This installation guide even includes AEEIS voice prompts!
"Next, please log in to your Tenda official account."
"Please set the name and password of the router and wireless network."
"The system is being upgraded. You can check the automatic upgrade option. The router will automatically update the firmware while you are resting while it is powered on."
There is nothing special about the step-by-step installation.
But Father Zhang felt a little strange: "How come there are so many installation steps for a router? And what is that in your hand? Isn't this the handle of a game console?"
Zhang Yan explained: "Oh, this is the latest router. Now routers have many functions. 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 cannot be plugged in and used like other small routers. It still requires some settings."
"This is a game controller I bought before. The good thing about this router is that it can be controlled by other brands of game controllers. This saves money on buying a remote control."
Zhang Yan is a game anchor. Although her parents don't play games, they have seen controllers.
Therefore, Zhang Yan considered that when she already had three or four controllers at home, buying a version with a controller would easily arouse suspicion, so she bought a controller-less version and used the controllers of other consoles to control the game.
router.
This way it will be less likely to arouse suspicion.
Father Zhang nodded: "Okay, once the settings are set up, come over for dinner."
The three of them were chatting while eating, and Zhang's father was poking around on his phone, not knowing what he was looking for.
He just remembered the name of this router, searched for Tenda gaming router on the Internet, and found the official website successfully.
I clicked on the product details page and took a look, but there was still nothing wrong with it. They were all introducing the parameters of this router.
Although he couldn't understand what these parameters specifically represented, the latest computers, flagship chips, and large storage capacity still made him feel confused.
Looking at the price, it is indeed a bit expensive. It is almost 10 times more expensive than an ordinary router!
But after all, Zhang Yan's family is relatively well off, and her parents are relatively open-minded about spending money. Zhang Yan has bought a steering wheel package worth more than 10,000 yuan, and spending 4,000 yuan to buy a gaming router does not seem to be a big problem.
Father Zhang still felt a little strange, so he clicked on the product review details to view it.
In the review details, many users are posting reviews, all of which are 5-star reviews.
"The latest router is really easy to use. Say goodbye to lags and enjoy a technological life!"
“This router is really convenient! It integrates all the functions of watching movies and watching TV series, and it also has the function of a TV box. It’s a very value-for-money purchase.”
“I bought this for my girlfriend, who is very satisfied with it. Now I can buy it faster on shopping websites, and I don’t have to worry about not being able to grab it from scalpers.”
"The packaging is exquisite and the quality control is in place. It is rare to see such a carefully crafted router. As expected, Tenda Group is the best in the industry no matter what product it makes."
Zhang's father read a few comments and then he felt relieved despite his doubts.
No matter how you look at it, this does seem to be an ordinary gaming router.
Zhang Yan knew exactly what her father was doing. She suppressed her smile while chewing the ribs, so as not to reveal her secret.
During this period, Zhang Yan's live broadcasting business was booming. She always wanted to quit her job and devote herself to live broadcasting, but her parents never agreed.
The previous safe and civilized driving offline competition organized by Tuwei Live Broadcasting Platform has been successfully concluded. These outstanding players and anchors can be regarded as having experienced the addiction of professional racing drivers. Zhang Yan finally won the second place in the amateur group.
Become famous in one battle!
This game was not only broadcast live on Tuwei Live, but the live video was also cut into a variety show and played on a loop on Tuwei Live.
Although Zhang Yan has a certain amount of talent and stands out among many amateur players, after all, she is relatively old and it is somewhat difficult to realize her dream of being a professional racing driver.
However, she is contented to be able to participate in similar track competitions frequently.
After participating in this competition, Zhang Yan's live broadcast room naturally attracted more viewers. As a female anchor in a safe and civilized driving area, Zhang Yan conquered many viewers with her excellent strength and indomitable will.
It’s also rising steadily!
Tuwei Live is constantly improving the benefits of anchors, so the money earned from the live broadcast business has far exceeded Zhang Yan's original main business.
Zhang Yan feels that she may consider resigning, because her original main business will involve a lot of her energy, making it impossible for her to concentrate on live broadcast content.
Moreover, she did not like this stable job. She always felt that she was wasting her time and should not keep occupying the position.
However, my parents completely disagree and believe that playing games is not a real job after all. Although the income from being an anchor is acceptable now, the future is too uncertain.
So the biggest concession from her parents is to allow her to be an anchor during part-time work, but it is absolutely impossible to quit her job and become a full-time anchor!
Zhang Yan didn't have any good ideas. She wanted to gradually change her parents' concept, but in the end she couldn't find any breakthrough.
Zhang Yan also tried to ask her father to use the steering wheel to play safe and civilized driving, but it did not inspire Zhang's father's interest in the game. Zhang Yan still felt that driving in reality is tiring enough, so why would anyone choose to continue driving in the game?
It’s simply incomprehensible!
Zhang Yan tried several times, but it didn't work, so she had to give up.
It can only be said that entertainment has its own threshold, and entertainment tastes and preferences also need to be cultivated step by step.
Many people have never played good games, and their understanding and taste of games are naturally not up to par. Once they have this preconceived stereotype, if they want to really understand the form of games in depth, they will become
increasingly difficult.
Many parents regard games as a scourge because they have no experience or understanding of truly excellent games. They only see the negative impact of relatively low-quality games on young people.
It is indeed an extremely difficult task to let these people who do not play games experience the fun of games.
Zhang Yan saw the launch of the game router. At first she thought the launch was of an integral nature, but after getting information about exclusive games for this console from the Internet, she suddenly had a bold idea.
After eating, the table is cleared, the dishes are thrown into the dishwasher, and the family sits on the sofa and eats fruit.
Zhang Yan's mother subconsciously wanted to watch TV with the remote control.
Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Mom and Dad, you can watch TV directly on the game router in the future, do you see? Mainstream video software is available here, and it can also connect to cable TV signals."
As Zhang Yan spoke, she handed the two handles to her parents.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother pressed the cross keys and joystick as Zhang Yan said, and found that they could indeed control the router and open the video software through the handle.
Chapter completed!
