Chapter 248 humbly listen to Qiao Laoshui's opinion
Pei Qian quietly came to the second floor of Moyu Internet Cafe, wanting to see Qiao Laoshi's current condition.
After all, watching Qiao Laoshi suffer is already an important interest in Pei Qian's boring life, and it is also the motivation for him to continue suffering in the game "Back to the Shore".
However, Pei Qian was disappointed.
Qiao Laoshi did not look at the screen and become sluggish like last time. Instead, he was leisurely drinking a cocktail, leaning back in his chair, in a very relaxed state.
The computer screen showed a hazy yellow color, filled with light cyan mist. Pei Qian could tell at a glance that this was the scene at the end of Huangquan Road, about to reach the Wangchuan River and Naihe Bridge.
"Nima, what's going on..."
"His progress is just a little slower than mine?"
"No...he's faster than me!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
At present, Pei Qian has reached the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. According to the game scene arrangement, after passing the Wangchuan River and the Naihe Bridge, there is Wangxiang Terrace and the Sansheng Stone. After passing the Sansheng Stone, there is the main hall of Yama or the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
But after Pei Qian got Pudu, he took a shortcut and skipped the Naihe Bridge, Sansheng Stone and other scenes from the end of Huangquan Road to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Considering this aspect, Qiao Laoshi has already completed more game content than Pei Qian.
"No, this situation is wrong..."
Pei Qian was a little dizzy. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated Qiao Laoshi's ability to suffer and his gaming IQ!
As a game area up owner, Qiao Laoshi's game level is not up to the top. The video programs he did before were mainly about inventory and explanation, so Pei Qian naturally believed that Qiao Laoshi was very good at the game "Back to the Shore".
You will definitely suffer like crazy.
But now Pei Qian realized that he seemed to have underestimated Qiao Laoshi's level...
Think about it, as a player who can endure driving for eight hours, no matter how miserable the death is in a game like "Back to the Shore", it is still more interesting than driving, right?
And judging from Qiao Laoshi's expression, he has learned to enjoy hardship and even enjoys it a little bit...
Pei Qian felt a little panicked.
Qiao Laoshi can no longer suffer, and his daily source of happiness is gone!
How can you keep going after this?
Of course, this is not the main reason.
The more important reason is that if Qiao Laoshi can reach the current progress with his own efforts and persistence, is it because the difficulty threshold of this game is not set high enough?
If the difficulty threshold of the game is not high enough, it will not be able to persuade enough players to quit. In this way, the sales of the game will not be low, and maybe it will still make money...
That's when something big happens!
Seeing Qiao Laoshiba's comfortable expression, Pei Qian instantly imagined the very serious consequences.
No, we can’t just let it go!
Pei is always a person who is good at making up for the situation. Now that he has seen the crisis, how can he sit still and wait for death?
Pei Qian thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
Qiao Liang was drinking a cocktail and thinking about the next step in the process, when he suddenly noticed that Mr. Pei was here.
"Mr. Pei!"
Qiao Liang's face was full of smiles.
After "the misunderstanding was cleared", he saw Mr. Pei as if he were a relative, very cordial.
Pei Qian smiled and pulled a chair from the side. Although he was not at all kind to Qiao Laoshi in his heart, he still kept smiling as much as possible.
After all, he still had to squeeze more residual value from Qiao Laoshi.
A week has passed since Qiao Laoshi arrived in Jingzhou. Excluding weekends, the accumulated game time has almost reached more than forty hours.
The game content of "Return to the Shore" is actually not as rich as the Soul series. According to initial estimates, if the player is relatively skilled, he can complete the main plot in about thirty hours.
If you are a perfectionist and want to play all the details of the game or even earn achievements, then this time may be extended to fifty or sixty hours.
If the player is handicapped... then this time may be infinite.
Because Qiao Laoshi was not used to it when he first started playing, he always died repeatedly and got lost in the early stage, plus he is a perfectionist, so he played for forty hours and just reached the current progress, which is about the entire game.
About 60%.
However, his current understanding of the game should be relatively in place.
"How do you feel?" Pei Qian asked with a smile.
Qiao Liang perked up.
Huh? Mr. Pei asked the same question as last time!
He clearly remembered that the last time Mr. Pei came to the Internet cafe, he had the same problem. At that time, he felt that the difficulty of the game was wrong.
But now Qiao Liang understands that there is no problem with the difficulty of the game at all. Mr. Pei deliberately made the game this difficult!
During this period of time, Qiao Liang gradually felt the unique charm of this difficult game, so his answer would naturally be different.
"It feels very good! I haven't felt this kind of challenge when playing a game for a long time." Qiao Liang was full of energy.
Sure enough, the situation is not good...
Pei Qian's worries were verified. He tried hard to keep his expression calm and continued to ask: "So, how do you feel in terms of difficulty? If you were asked to rate the difficulty of each scene, how many points could you give? Still
Are there ratings for mobs and weapons?"
Qiao Liang is very happy. It seems that Mr. Pei attaches great importance to my opinion and asked such detailed questions!
Talking about things in the game, Qiao Liang instantly became energetic and started talking immediately.
"In terms of difficulty, I think small villages and towns are the most difficult, but the difficulty has dropped a bit later. Of course, it may be because I have adapted to the game's routine after coming out of the town, so I feel that the difficulty has dropped.
…”
"As for weapons, the best thing to use in the early stage is the hatchet. It is flexible, has a fast attack speed, and the damage is very considerable. It can basically be used from the early stage to the middle stage. As for the sword, the vertical slash is particularly useful. You can basically use only the vertical slash.
You can kill 90% of the monsters..."
Qiao Liang did not doubt the fraud and talked freely about his understanding of the game during this period.
Pei Qian silently wrote it down.
In fact, he knew little about these weapons, but since Qiao Laoshi thought these weapons were useful, they were really useful.
Qiao Liang is not considered an operational player. His perseverance exceeds 99% of players and his gaming IQ exceeds 70%. In terms of operation, he may only be at an upper-middle level level.
In this case, isn't targeting Qiao Laoshi the same as targeting ordinary players?
Qiao Liang can speak freely and point out the country. He has never been so happy.
Because in the past, he could only complain on the Internet and make himself cute among his own fan base, and other game developers simply ignored him.
But now, the game developer is right in front of me, and he is still listening to his suggestions carefully, so he must show off well!
"Well... that's about it. In short, although there are many difficulties, it can still be overcome as long as you make good use of these powerful weapons!"
Qiao Liang still had some unfinished ideas.
Pei Qian nodded: "Well, these are all good suggestions. I will make sure they revise them when I get back!"
Seeing Mr. Pei's serious expression, Qiao Liang actually felt a little flattered.
Of course, he couldn't guess how much of Mr. Pei's words were polite. After all, when players feedback game problems to customer service, the most common thing they say is, "We have received your suggestions and will provide feedback to the designers."
"Group", but in fact, only the devil knows whether the design team will modify it.
So Qiao Liang didn't take it too seriously, but he just found Mr. Pei's attitude quite touching.
After all, such a successful game producer still listens to his own opinions humbly, which can be said to be shameless in asking questions.
Sure enough, Mr. Pei’s success is not without reason!
…
…
Back at the company, Pei Qian was running his fingers quickly on his computer, quickly writing down what Qiao Laoshi had said before.
In Qiao Laoshi's opinion, small villages and towns are the most difficult.
In fact, according to the settings, the difficulty of subsequent scenes is constantly increasing, but Lu Mingliang and the others ignored a problem at the time, that is, the threshold for players to suffer is also constantly increasing.
The monsters in the small villages and towns were all new, so it was difficult, but after slowly adapting to the rhythm of the game, the increase in difficulty was not enough.
In this case, then continue to increase the difficulty of the next few scenes!
There are also weapons. Doesn’t Qiao Laoshi like hatchets the most? Chop!
Didn’t I say that the vertical chop of Guandao is particularly useful? Chop!
In short, Qiao Laoshi thought that the weapons that were particularly useful must be weapons that novices could use to skip classes, so he chopped them all.
It's definitely the kind of person who wants to kill someone with a knife, and he stands out as a maniac.
Anyway, it's none of Mr. Pei's business. Mr. Pei uses exclusive weapons.
I simply made a list and gave it directly to Li Yada.
"Adjust the balance according to this." Pei Qian said simply.
Li Yada took the form and looked at it. The changes were written in great detail.
Weapons like Guandao directly state that they only weaken the attack action of vertical slash, which is very targeted.
"Okay, Mr. Pei, get it done right away!"
Li Yada couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Pei really strives for excellence.
When I went to report to Mr. Pei recently, Mr. Pei had been playing with the "Pudu". I don't know when Mr. Pei took the time to experience all other weapons.
Sure enough, it is precisely because of working hard in places that no one can see that Mr. Pei can achieve his current success.
Li Yada took the watch and carefully thought about Mr. Pei's design intention.
Pei Qian sat on the chair, and suddenly his conscience realized that he felt a little sorry for Qiao Laoshi.
Although it was meant to increase the difficulty, it seemed a bit excessive to cut down all the weapons that Qiao Laoshi was so comfortable with.
If that's the case, then treat him to another meal to make up for it!
Qiao Laoshi has made outstanding contributions to the balance changes of "Return to the Shore". In order to express his gratitude, it is not too much to invite him to Mingyun Private Kitchen for a good meal, right?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian took out his cell phone and dialed Chef Lin's number.
"Make a reservation for tomorrow's dinner for me."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Canrong was stunned for a moment: "Uh, Mr. Pei, a customer has already made a reservation."
"Um?"
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
Is it the repeat customer from last time?
"Then don't reserve the largest private room, just change to a small private room."
Lin Canrong coughed twice: "Mr. Pei, all seats have been reserved."
"???"
Pei Qian was a little dizzy, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
Lin Canrong answered truthfully: "Mr. Pei, let alone the day after tomorrow, the current schedule has been until next week..."
Pei Qian fell into a sluggish state.
What the hell???
Haven't I been gone for a week? What happened to Mingyun Private Kitchen?
