Chapter 256 President Pei's Theory of Balanced Relativity
September 5th, Sunday.
Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
Qiao Liang looked at Mr. Pei with a smile on his face. He hesitated to speak, stopped speaking but wanted to, stopped wanting to speak, and forgot what to say.
Pei Qian smiled and said: "Just say what you want to say. It doesn't matter. I am a designer who is good at listening to other people's suggestions."
The corners of Qiao Liang's mouth twitched slightly, thinking silently, well, I have no doubt about this.
Last time, Qiao Liang shared some of his opinions on the game. The game was quickly updated at the speed of light, and the changes were highly coincident with what he proposed, with an overlap of 99%.
But the only problem is that they are all changed in reverse!
Qiao Liang wanted Pei Qian to strengthen other unpopular weapons, but Pei Qian cut off the popular weapons;
Qiao Liang wanted Pei Qian to lower the difficulty of the previous scenes, but Pei Qian backhandedly raised the difficulty of the subsequent scenes.
Mr. Pei is right. He is indeed a designer who is good at listening to other people's opinions, but listening to suggestions does not mean that he must make modifications according to the suggestions...
During these three days, Qiao Liang was in dire straits.
The balance adjustment of "Return to the Shore" forced him to continue to suffer, because the weapons he was originally good at became unusable, and he could only continue to develop new weapons.
Moreover, the difficulty of the later scenes increased, causing Qiao Liang's game progress to be stuck for a while. Even in the scene where he could easily clear three souls and seven souls, the efficiency of soul clearing is now greatly reduced, and he will overturn if he is not careful.
In short, the game experience that was originally good has become extremely bad!
However, after Qiao Liang thought about it carefully, he felt that it was not entirely Mr. Pei’s fault, but also that he had spoken too implicitly at the time.
I just said that the hatchet and the sword are useful, but I didn't say that I hope to strengthen other less popular weapons.
This may have caused Mr. Pei's misunderstanding.
Therefore, Qiao Liang has made up his mind that he must argue his case in front of Mr. Pei this time and clearly express his attitude!
"Mr. Pei, as the game experience officer, I should be able to put forward some opinions, right?" Qiao Liang asked tentatively.
Pei Qian smiled and nodded: "Of course."
"That's good."
Qiao Liang considered his words: "I personally feel that the balance adjustment made some time ago may be a little inappropriate..."
"Huh? Why do you say that?" Pei Qian asked, "After the last adjustment, the balance has indeed improved, right?"
Um?
Qiao Liang did not turn around for a moment.
If we consider the practicality of weapons, the balance has indeed improved. Previously, the presence of the hatchet and the sword was too strong, and other weapons were too unpopular.
Now, hatchets and swords are as rubbish as other weapons, which is a good balance.
"Well, the balance has indeed improved, but... the weapons that are easy to use have become unusable. This..." Qiao Liang was very confused.
Pei Qian smiled and said: "Weakening popular weapons will strengthen relatively unpopular weapons. You should understand the theory of relativity, right? This is almost the truth."
Qiao Liang: "?"
Damn relativity!
Pei Qian continued: "Because there are dozens of weapons in the game "Return to the Shore", the balance of the unpopular weapons is very good."
"If you want to enhance unpopular weapons, you have to enhance dozens of them at once, and after the enhancement, some weapons that are too powerful may appear, which will seriously damage the balance."
"There are actually only two or three types of popular weapons. As long as we cut off these two or three types, wouldn't it be equivalent to enhancing the remaining dozens of weapons?"
"It also ensures that the balance of other weapons is not destroyed to the greatest extent. It is a very perfect solution."
Qiao Liang: “??”
That makes sense... what a ghost!
Qiao Liang was heartbroken: "Mr. Pei, you can't do this when it comes to balancing! You can't weaken something just because you see it is useful. As the saying goes, if you only weaken something but don't enhance it, a good game will have to be cool, and mindless hacking is not advisable!"
"How can it only weaken but not enhance? Doesn't it increase the difficulty of the level and the damage of the mobs?" Pei Qian immediately pointed out the error in Qiao Laoshi's statement.
Qiao Liang: "...but this is all making the game more difficult!"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Indeed, this is all increasing the difficulty of the game."
"But is the difficulty of the game a bad thing?"
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment.
Of course it’s a bad thing!
I play this game every day, and I still haven’t finished the game. I’m tortured by mobs every day until I feel like vomiting. I finally found a simple way to play, but within two days they were all hacked, and I had to slowly figure out how to continue.
Masochism.
Isn't this a bad thing?
Before Qiao Liang could protest, Pei Qian said first, "Qiao Laoshi, if you think about it carefully, is the difficulty of the game really a bad thing for a high-end professional player like you?"
"The difficulty of the game is like the ceiling of the venue. Suppose you and other players are both high jumpers. If the ceiling is very low, then you will all hit the ceiling when you jump, and you can't tell who jumped.
Got higher."
"But now that the ceiling has been raised, it will be easy for you to determine the winner."
"Raising the difficulty level is equivalent to providing a larger stage for high-end professional players like you. You have more space to sweat, display your talents, and do things that other players simply cannot do."
"Is this a bad thing?"
Faced with Mr. Pei's heartfelt question, Qiao Liang was stunned, and then he couldn't help but become excited.
Hey, does even Mr. Pei agree that I am a high-end professional player?
How embarrassing!
Qiao Liang couldn't suppress a smile on his face: "Oh, actually no, I'm just a little harder and more serious than other players..."
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Qiao Laoshi, you are too humble. A truly strong person like you is certainly worthy of a higher challenge."
"Lowering the difficulty? That's an insult to real hardcore players like you! Increasing the difficulty and keeping the game challenging is the greatest sincerity to hardcore players!"
Qiao Liang looked at his screen, then at Mr. Pei, who was very serious, and his mood suddenly improved.
Makes sense.
Why did Mr. Pei come to me specifically to try out such a difficult game?
It’s not because of my special trust in my game IQ, operation and even persistence!
Thinking of this, Qiao Liang didn't find it so difficult to accept the hacking of Chaitao and Guandao.
As a high-end professional player, you should be proficient in all weapons and only indulge in one or two of the most useful weapons. It does live up to Mr. Pei's expectations!
After adjusting his mentality, Qiao Liang felt that this game was not so encouraging.
But Qiao Liang then thought again and thought that she could persevere until now because Mr. Pei has been encouraging her from behind!
How can other players get this kind of treatment?
This is a serious design flaw!
Qiao Liang quickly pointed out this: "Mr. Pei, speaking of this, I have a new suggestion."
"The game is a good game, but I think it is too difficult for players to persevere in the early stage! It is only with your repeated encouragement that I can persevere until now, and slowly realize the fun of the game."
"So, can we find a way to solve this problem?"
Pei Qian thought for two seconds: "This is easy to handle. I can arrange for someone to modify it immediately."
Qiao Liang couldn't help but be in awe.
As expected of Mr. Pei, he came up with a good solution in two seconds?
Pei Qian said: "A link can be added to the game. Soon after the game starts, when the player is going through the plot, he can write an epitaph for himself as a word of encouragement. Every time he dies, this sentence will be displayed on the screen to cheer him up.
Encouragement."
Um?
epitaph?
Qiao Liang had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain clearly for a while.
Pei Qian looked at his watch: "Okay, it's almost time. We've worked hard during this time, let's go eat!"
"Ah, okay!"
Qiao Liang was originally wondering if there was something wrong with this "epitaph", but as soon as he heard that he was going to eat, he immediately forgot about it.
You can have a feast again!
"Mr. Pei has been really good to me. Oh, I can't repay him!" Qiao Liang sighed silently in his heart.
…
…
The two of them got off the bus at the door of Mingyun Private Kitchen.
Seeing Qiao Laoshi looking eagerly at the delicious food, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
Poor Qiao Laoshi was toyed with by himself and applauded. Alas, I am such a wicked person.
But when he saw the situation around Ming Yun's private kitchen, Pei Qian was not happy at all.
This is the first time Pei Qian has come since Mingyun Private Kitchen became popular.
All in all, it’s hard to put it into words.
Pei Qian bought a villa that is both commercial and residential. It is completely separated from other residences. It has a separate area and has a separate entrance for vehicles.
Originally, this was the reason why several villas were difficult to sell.
However, now, in the commercial and residential villa area near Mingyun Private Kitchen, the parking spaces are full of luxury cars, which are relatively rare in Jingzhou City.
And not only luxury cars, but also some people came by taxi.
Because now the customers of Mingyun Private Kitchen are not only big bosses, but also ordinary working-class people. They just come all the way on Sundays to have a good meal and enjoy the food and the service here.
There are still not many people, but compared with last time, the difference is obvious.
When Qiao Laoshi came last time, there were no other customers at Mingyun Private Kitchen. It looked very deserted, with only the waiters busy.
This time, in addition to a few luxury cars parked in the parking spaces outside, there were also obviously more guests inside the villa.
There were only four or five tables in the hall, far apart, and they were all full at this time.
The diners were chatting in low voices while enjoying the food seriously.
Everyone consciously did not take out their mobile phones, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed harmonious and natural.
Of course, since there are very few seats at Mingyun Private Kitchen, even if they are all full, the hall is still relatively empty, which is completely different from those restaurants that are particularly popular and are full of people and queuing outside.
Pei Qian saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
In his opinion, these customers are all so annoying. They are not here to give away money, they are here to steal money!
Qiao Liang, who was following Pei Qian, was sighing secretly.
The last time I came here, I saw the deserted place and thought it was Mr. Pei's own property, where he only entertained himself by eating and drinking.
It turns out that this is not the case now. There are so many customers and it is so popular. It must make a lot of money this year, right?
Although the food in this place is indeed delicious, how on earth did Mr. Pei make such a remote private chef popular in just two weeks?
I can only sigh silently in my heart. It seems that Mr. Pei is not only good at games, but also a real business wizard who can make all the difference in any field!
