Friday, March 4th.
Pei Qian came to the company early and opened the background to check.
The purchase data of "be quiet" is still zero!
Obviously, in just one day, the players have not made any breakthrough progress.
Of course, this is also in President Pei's plan!
This string of passwords is hidden in "The Lonely Desert Highway" and can be found in three hours by car. If one person finds it, everyone can participate in solving the puzzle.
If you simply want to persuade players, requiring all players to clear the eight-hour or even sixteen-hour journey of "Lonely Desert Highway" seems to be a more effective method, but the system obviously does not allow it.
Therefore, Pei Qian must pay attention to the difficulty when setting up these problems.
The difficulty is too high and unreasonable, so that players cannot get the purchase conditions at all, and the system will not allow it;
The difficulty is too low to form a threshold. Players will be able to buy it soon, and Pei Qian will be busy.
And Pei Qian's main goal of setting this screening is to reduce the number of players who are eligible to purchase as much as possible before the settlement of this cycle, that is, in less than a month, thereby reducing game sales.
As for what to do in the next cycle, we will talk about it in the next cycle.
Pei Qian's ideal situation is that this puzzle can hold players back for a month, so that there won't be any sales this month.
The game is already online, and players can't buy it because they haven't solved the puzzle, not because Mr. Pei's game hasn't been completed, so it doesn't count as an unfinished project, and it won't lead to delayed settlement.
Even if it can't be delayed for a month, it is better to be able to delay it for two or three weeks than to open it up and let players buy it as soon as it comes up!
Players on the forum have already had many solutions for this string of passwords, and a group of bigwigs have emerged.
The solutions include grouping, English to numbers, numbers to nine palaces, reverse order, intersection, sequence, ascii, hexadecimal, etc., which are dazzling.
In fact, Pei Qian is just an ordinary person, and he has never learned those very complicated encryption methods. The solution ideas he adopts are completely derived from the relatively simple puzzle solving that can be seen in daily life.
Just a little more steps.
The correct ideas did appear in the players' solutions, but because the decryption method of the last step is relatively unpopular and magical, some players mistakenly thought that it was a dead end after solving this step, and did not go further.
Therefore, this correct solution path has not received much attention.

After observation, it can be seen that the frequency of abc is very high, and the last letter in the order is i, which is arranged in the way of a=1, b=2 on the alphabet, i is exactly equal to 9, indicating that this string English was originally a string of numbers converted.
71933333313291428351
Continue to observe this string of numbers, and you will find that every other digit is regular.
71/93/33/33/31/32/91/42/83/51
The latter digits are not more than 4, which is very common in the nine-square grid of mobile phones.
71 represents the first letter of the 7 button in the nine-square grid of the mobile phone, which is p. Similarly, all the letters after that can also find the corresponding letters on the nine-square grid of the mobile phone.

But at this point, there seems to be no rules, so players who thought of this path before could not continue to deduce, and from the posts and comments of other players, many people obviously did not realize that this is correct. solution.
This step is actually not a complicated password. Its categories are very common in reality, but this branch is extremely rare, so there are too few people who understand and understand it.
Pei Qian also occasionally learned a little out of interest, so he used the password on a whim, but he didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good.
Moreover, even if the code is solved, the process of solving the puzzle is only one third of the way.
"Come on, everyone, if you can't figure it out, I'm going to lose money in this settlement cycle!" Pei Qian couldn't help but shudder.
The otto mobile phone conference is going to be held this weekend, and Pei Qian has to take a look at the conference to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
But before that, Pei Qian sent a message to the programmer responsible for solving the puzzle.
"The clue of "The Lonely Desert Highway" has been found, and the time required to find the clue can be adjusted from three hours to 15 minutes."

Sunday, March 6.
Oasis Four Seasons Hotel, the largest five-star hotel in Jingzhou.
Many of Tenda's previous activities, including high-standard business reception, personnel recruitment entrance examinations, annual meetings, etc., have all cooperated with this hotel.
This press conference was also held in the banquet hall of this hotel. Many technology media have been invited to come here in advance, and rooms have been reserved for them, including board, lodging and round-trip fares on the day.
As for the others, they are directly looking for customers of Moyu Internet Cafe, Headwind Logistics and other businesses to give tickets.
It's no problem to fill the entire venue anyway.
The press conference officially started at 3 pm. Pei Qian sneaked into the hotel venue at around 2 pm, and then found a corner seat and sat down.
If he wanted to, he could sit in the first row, but this press conference was arranged for the camera to broadcast the whole process. If Pei Qian was to sit in the first row, he would definitely have to be on camera. Wouldn't it be exposed by then.
Therefore, Pei Qian told Chang You that he would come, but did not tell him where he was sitting.
There were so many people at the scene that it was difficult to find Boss Pei.
In this way, President Pei will not expose himself, but also achieve the effect of supervising the battle before the battle, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Soothing and soft music was played at the scene, and the crowd was crowded, and many people were entering the venue one after another.
Maybe it was a little early, and the big screen was still black.
If it is the conference of other mobile phone brands, some short videos should be played on the big screen at this time to warm up the scene, and then there will be a promotional image of the spokesperson and so on.
But Pei Qian thought about it, otto mobile phone doesn't seem to have these things
Chang You seemed to have come to ask about the spokesperson before, but Pei Qian didn't think about it at that time, so he didn't tell Chang You about death.
Come to think of it, Changyou should have forgotten about this too, right
If there is no spokesperson, then there should be no more warm-up short films, right
Well, that's pretty good too. I'll talk dryly when I come up, talk about the shortcomings of the mobile phone for an hour, and then get off work at the speed of light, which is very in line with President Pei's wishes.
Pei Qian was thinking happily when the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed.
The big screen is on!
A logo full of science and technology slowly appeared on the big screen, just like the rising sun, dispelling the darkness, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
The camera zoomed out gradually, the logo became smaller and smaller, and a back figure appeared in front of the camera, which just blocked the bright light and outlined a handsome silhouette.
Then, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the ball of light in his hand.
A ray of light erupted from his hand instantly, and the logo was shrunk and engraved on the back of the phone, giving off a faint breathing light effect!
And the back figure also turned around at this time. Lu Zhiyao, who was so handsome and suffocated, looked at the venue through the screen, holding a very atmospheric-looking mobile phone in his hand. The logo on the back was flashing, and it was full of technology.
This is not over, there are two more commercials after that, including one for "drone delivery".
In the end, the picture was frozen on the promotional image, Lu Zhiyao held the otto phone in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Pei Qian froze in his seat, forgetting to drink the mineral water he had just unscrewed in his hand.
"This is so..."
"Isn't this an advertisement in "Better Tomorrow"???"
Pei Qian couldn't help but think of the scene of watching "Better Tomorrow" in the cinema before.
Right now, right now.
The same caught off guard, the same ignorant!
When Pei Qian was watching a movie before, he did see the advertisement and logo of this mobile phone, but it was different from the logo of Otto Technology in his impression, so he didn't take it too seriously.
As a result, how did otto mobile phone copy the movie
rubbing heat
Shameless!
Moreover, when did Lu Zhiyao come to endorse
Now Lu Zhiyao can be said to be quite popular. After the release of "Beautiful Tomorrow", his identity as a "box office poison" was instantly cleared, and with his breakthrough acting skills and his already good reputation, he has re-emerged in the ranks of first-line niche students in China. .
If there is another award, it will be even more incredible.
Considering the achievements of "Better Tomorrow" to Lu Zhiyao, it seems reasonable and reasonable for him to return the favor and come over to be an endorsement for otto mobile phone...
For Pei Qian, this should also be a surprise.
However, Pei Qian feels no surprise at all now, only fright!
This opening is much better than the general warm-up video, because "Better Tomorrow" is still being released, it is relatively popular, and many people present have already watched it.
These advertisements have all appeared in "Better Tomorrow", and they are filmed with care and style, which are obviously different from most of the current mobile phone advertisements. When the audience saw this commercial, they naturally thought of the futuristic mobile phone brand in "Better Tomorrow".
Changyou did not disclose this in the promotional materials before, so the audience at the scene was obviously surprised!
The venue, which was originally dead, was instantly hilarious!
The technology media reporters sitting in the front row are chatting one by one. Obviously, this commercial + Lu Zhiyao's endorsement alone has already made a good gimmick.
Pei Qian, on the other hand, was sitting on pins and needles, panicking.
The start of this conference is far from what I imagined, which does not seem to be a good sign...
Unscrewed the cap and took another sip of mineral water.
"calm down."
"It shouldn't be as bad as I thought."
"A good opening may not necessarily be useful. Maybe it will have the effect of suppressing desire first."
"As long as Changyou does the ppt according to my requirements and goes against other mobile phone manufacturers, it will definitely get more and more scolded."
"When the time comes, it will turn into a black spot if it is so cool at the beginning."
"So, don't worry too much now, everything will be fine!"
