Friday, March 11.
Qiao Liang wears two huge dark circles under his eyes and is still running the plot line of "Game Producer".
There is only one expression on his face, that is, he is not reconciled!
It has been a full week since the official release of "bequiet".
So far, the game's sales are still 0.
It's not because the game is so rubbish that no one plays it. In fact, players don't even know what the game looks like now.
No one has yet been able to solve the puzzle and get the so-called "invitation letter"!
Many people have given up cursingly. Obviously, this wayward behavior of the game development team will seriously stimulate the rebellious psychology of players and cause many players to quit.
If you have a big temper, you directly spray a few words on the forum "The production team has a brain problem", and then stop paying attention to this game;
If you have a better temper, after giving up, go to the forum every day to check the progress of solving the puzzles of the online bosses, thinking that you will copy the answers when the bosses solve the puzzles successfully;
And there are a small number of real hardcore players, such as Qiao Laoshi, who are still searching for the solution to the next puzzle.
During this time, they tried many ways.
The two input boxes were entered with various contents, but the page still did not respond.
Therefore, everyone thinks that the next information should be hidden in other games.
As Tenda's classic game, "Going Back to the Shore" has naturally been run countless times, but after running around, I didn't find any useful clues.
Even some bigwigs on the Internet heard that Tenda seemed to be really working on a haunted house project called "Frightening Hostel", and they went directly to investigate.
As a result, a person in charge surnamed Chen over there reluctantly kicked him out, and told him that the project here was not completed at all, and could not be used as part of the puzzle-solving content.
After running all the rest of the games and finding nothing, Qiao Liang turned his attention to "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Producer" again.
Qiao Liang suddenly felt that with his knowledge of President Pei, it seemed not impossible to hide more clues in these two games!
Who said a game can only hide one clue
If players find a clue in a game, so they no longer enter the game, don't they create a "black under the lights" effect
Moreover, judging from the fact that some of President Pei's two passwords have the same solution, this time the puzzle-solving activity was not so difficult either because of time constraints or because President Pei didn't want to embarrass the players on purpose.
Then, Mr. Pei is likely to let the programmers change only two games and only the simplest part for the sake of saving time!
As a result, Qiao Liang entered the "Lonely Desert Highway" again.
This time he didn't find any new clues, but he noticed a detail: it used to take three hours to get all the clues, but now the time is greatly shortened!
Qiao Liang's first reaction was pain.
Is this the treatment of pioneers? I drove hard for three hours, and the latecomers can get the same clue in less than an hour
He hugged Yuanyuan himself sadly.
But he thought about it and realized a very crucial problem.
The time to find the clue was shortened, indicating that after he found the clue, President Pei arranged for the programmer to make changes to the game.
Why
This clue has been solved, and there is no need for others to drive in "Lonely Desert Highway" to find it again. Why does President Pei want the programmer to make changes to this game
"Could it be that… "
"Mr. Pei's move is to imply that he must find these clues himself in order to count?"
Qiao Liang realized something instantly, and hurriedly opened "Game Producer".
He once played the "Blood and Lost" ending, but that was not long after the game was released, that is, last April.
Strictly speaking, although Qiao Liang played this ending, he did not find this clue himself!
As for the choices and endings of "Game Producer", Qiao Liang is already familiar with the road. Under the condition of fast running and no need to think about it, he has already reached the previous choice of the ending of "destroyed" in less than ten minutes.
Afterwards, I found a string of clues consisting of 012, which has now been deciphered into the five words "Searching for Fright Hostel".
"and then?"
Nothing unexpected seemed to happen.
Qiao Liang was in control of the game characters, and by accident, he came to the last level of the ending of "Blood and No Return", and searched aimlessly.
Suddenly, he noticed a report on the wall.
In the original ending, the report was critical of the failed producer, and the headline was "Knowing that it's going to happen."
This report originally existed. It was criticizing these failed producers (or players) who were over-the-top and under-skilled.
The content of the headline has not changed, but Qiao Liang keenly noticed that the font of this headline is not the same as that of all other newspaper headlines, and it has obviously been changed!
It's just that most players will close the game directly after seeing the previous clue. Even if they come here by accident, they won't see this sentence if they don't search carefully.
Qiao Liang hurriedly quit the game and entered this sentence in the input box opened by the tpdb website.
Sure enough, still no response.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang entered his Tenda account number and password into the two input boxes respectively, and then pressed the Enter key.
This time, the page has changed!
Qiao Liang realized instantly that he had guessed correctly!
It turns out that the content to be entered in these two boxes is very simple, that is, your own Tenda account number and password, and nothing else at all!
But the premise is that your Tenda game account must really run the first clue in "Lonely Desert Highway", and run to the "Bloodless" ending in "Game Producer" to see the second clue!
And it has to be done after the release of bequiet.
President Pei also deliberately gave a small reminder at the end of the ending of "Blood and Lost", and changed the font of the title "Knowing this matter and doing it", which is to imply that players want to solve the key to the puzzle. Is to really find these two clues.
And the reason why everyone has not guessed correctly for so many days is because everyone mistakenly thinks that if others find clues, they don't need to look again, so no one has fulfilled these two conditions at the same time.
After everyone entered the account password, there was no response at all.
And this has created a vicious circle, that is, everyone thinks that these two input boxes are definitely not filled in with account passwords, and over time, no one will try again!
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Fortunately, he ran "Lonely Desert Highway" again, discovered the changes to the game, and deduced President Pei's intentions from it!
Otherwise, he will not go to the "Game Producer" ending of "losing the money", and he will not try to enter the account password on the website again.
President Pei really only changed these two relatively simple games and the tpdb website, and played with so many players in the palm of his hand!
But... he was still cracked by his confidant Qiao Laoshi!
Qiao Liang couldn't help stammering.
At this time, the input box on the black web page had disappeared, and a pale invitation letter appeared. Lines of blood-colored writing began to appear on it, and it seemed to be dripping little by little.
"Congratulations, the first lucky person to get the invitation."
"You've proven that your smart brain and perseverance can be the food for the hostel."
"If now, smart and delicious, you're ready to dedicate yourself to the Thrilling Lodge, then do as I say:"
"First, go find a camera at random."
"Then, log in to the game with your own account and password, and enter this code in the place of the bloody handprint."
"We've got a fun little game for you..."
Beneath the letter is a code made up of random English and numbers.
Qiao Liang already had a camera, but he didn't use it often, so he quickly wiped the camera, clipped it to the computer screen, and pointed it at his face.
Then, he opened the "bequiet" game and clicked on the bloody handprint.
Originally, there was no response to the bloody handprint, but now an input box appeared, and Qiao Liang immediately entered the string of codes into it.
He didn't think about sharing this with other players now, because he was going to be the first player in bequiet.
The computer screen went black, and it seemed to have entered a small program.
There is a mirror in the screen displayed on the full screen, and Qiao Liang's own face appears in the mirror.
This program in the game seems to display the picture captured by the camera in the mirror, which feels a bit like looking in the mirror through the "window" of the monitor.
It's just that the mirror is a little gray and scary.
On the one hand, it is because Qiao Liang's camera is not very clear, and on the other hand, it seems that the program has added filters when displaying the screen.
There is a line of blood next to the mirror: "Keep your eyes on the blood in the mirror."
There is also a virtual frame in the mirror, which outlines the outline of a face, and seems to be guiding Qiao Liang to straighten the camera and put his face in.
Qiao Liang's camera was installed on the top of the computer screen, so after adjusting the angle a little, and pulling him further away from the screen, the virtual frame on the screen disappeared.
At this time, the blood stains in the mirror began to spread continuously on the mirror surface. Qiao Liang's eyes stared at the blood stain and moved continuously, walking through most of the mirror, and finally stopped.
Then, the blood in the mirror disappeared, and the line of blood changed: "Face yourself in the mirror, and don't look anywhere else."
"Do you mean to keep watching?"
Qiao Liang turned his eyes to his face in the mirror, and found that the position he was looking at seemed to have a faint highlight effect, and the position changed continuously with the movement of the line of sight.
"Eye tracking?"
Qiao Liang was a little surprised and a little surprised.
Eye tracking is not a very high-end technology. It has appeared in the past two years. By identifying the state of the eye muscles and pupils through the camera, you can roughly determine the position of the screen you are looking at.
Now there are many software on the Internet that can achieve the effect of eye tracking.
Of course, this technology is not as beautiful as imagined. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the face is facing the camera, and data points must be collected. Just now, Qiao Liang was staring at the movement of the bloodstain, obviously doing this.
The whole process is rather cumbersome, and Mr. Pei's simple packaging makes this thing seem a little weird and more immersive.
Secondly, the accuracy of eye tracking is very low, and it can only roughly determine a large range of the direction of the eye, and there is no way to be particularly accurate.
However, it seems to be enough for this test.
Qiao Liang began to stare intently at his face in the mirror.
However, after a few seconds, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There seems to be a black corner of the clothes in the lower right corner of the mirror, with dark red blood stains on it!
