Chapter 448: Mini-Game

Friday, March 11.

Qiao Liang has two huge black circles under his eyes, and he is still running the plot line of "Game Producer".

There is only one expression on his face, that is, he is unwilling!

It has been a full week since the official release of "BE QUIET".

And so far, the sales of this game are still 0.

It's not that the game is so rubbish that no one plays it, in fact, players don't even know what the game looks like right now.

No one has yet been able to solve the puzzle and get the so-called "invitation"!

There have been many people who have given up with scolding, and it is obvious that this wayward behavior of the game development team will seriously stimulate the rebellious psychology of players and dissuade many players.

If you have a big temper, you can 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, you can brush up on the forum every day after giving up, see where the progress of the online boss's puzzle solving is, and think that you will copy the answer after the big guy succeeds in solving the puzzle;

And there are a small number of real hardcore players, such as Qiao Laoshi, who are still looking for the solution to the next puzzle.

During this time, they tried many methods.

The two input fields were filled with various inputs, but the page remained unresponsive.

As a result, it was decided that the rest of the information should be hidden in other games.

"Turning Back" as a classic game of Tengda has naturally been run countless times, but running around, I haven't found any useful clues.

Even some bigwigs on the Internet found out that Tengda seemed to be really working on a haunted house project called "Thrilling Hostel", and they went directly to the site to investigate.

As a result, a person in charge surnamed Chen over there was very helplessly kicked out, and told him that the project here was not completed at all, and it could not be used as part of the puzzle solution.

After running through the rest of the games and finding nothing, Qiao Liang once again set his sights on "Lonely Desert Road" and "Game Producer".

Qiao Liang suddenly felt that with his understanding of Mr. Pei, it seemed not impossible to hide more clues in these two games!

Who says a game can only hide one clue?

If players find a clue in a game and stop entering the game, won't that create a "black light" effect?

Moreover, judging from the fact that some of Mr. Pei's two passwords are the same solution, because the time is urgent, because Mr. Pei doesn't want to deliberately embarrass the player, this puzzle-solving activity is not so difficult.

Then, it is likely that Mr. Pei will let the programmer only change two games and only change the simplest part for the sake of saving time!

So, Qiao Liang entered "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 has been greatly reduced!

Qiao Liang's first reaction was that the egg hurt.

Is this the treatment of the forerunners? I drove for three hours, and the latecomer only needed to drive for less than an hour to get the same clue?

I hugged my round self in distress.

But on second thought, he realized a critical problem.

The time to find the clue was shortened, indicating that after he found the clue, Mr. 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 Mr. Pei still ask programmers to make changes to this game?

"Do you mean ......?"

"Mr. Pei's move is implying that you must find these clues yourself before you can count?"

Qiao Liang realized something in an instant, and hurriedly opened "Game Producer".

He once had a "no return" ending, but that was shortly after the game was released, in April of last year.

Strictly speaking, although Qiao Liang played this ending, he didn't find this clue in person!

Qiao Liang is already familiar with the various choices and endings of "Game Producer", and in the case of running fast and not thinking about it, he has already run to the previous choice of the ending of "no return" in less than ten minutes.

Then, a string of clues composed of 012 was found, and this line has now been deciphered into the five words "Search for the Horror Hotel".

"And then?"

Nothing unexpected seems to have happened.

Qiao Liang controlled the game character, and accidentally came to the last level of the ending of "No Return to Blood", rummaging aimlessly.

Suddenly, he noticed a report on the wall.

In the original finale, the story was critical of the failed producer, with the headline "Never Know It's Going to Do It."

Originally, this report was written to criticize these failed producers (or players) for being overly high-handed, pointing out when playing other people's games, and when they really got started, they instantly hit the streets.

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, and even if they come here by chance, they won't be able to see this sentence if they don't search carefully.

Qiao Liang hurriedly quit the game and typed this sentence into the input box that opened on the TPDb website.

Sure enough, there was still no response.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Liang entered his Tengda account number and password in the two input boxes, and then pressed the enter key.

This time, the page has changed!

Qiao Liang instantly realized that he had guessed correctly!

It turns out that the content to be entered in these two boxes is very simple, it is your Tengda account and password, and it is nothing else at all!

But the premise is that your Tengda game account must really run the first clue in "Lonely Desert Highway", and run to the "no return" ending in "Game Producer" to see the second clue!

And it had to be done after the release of BE QUIET.

Mr. Pei also deliberately gave a small hint at the end of the ending of "No Return", and changed the font of the title "Never know that you have to bow to this matter", which is to imply that players want to solve the puzzle The key is to really find these two clues by themselves.

And the reason why everyone didn't guess correctly for so many days is because everyone mistakenly thinks that others don't have to look at the clues themselves, so no one meets 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 must not be filled in the account password, and over time, no one will try again!

Qiao Liang couldn't help but rejoice.

Fortunately, he ran "Lonely Desert Highway" again, discovered the changes to this game, and deduced Mr. Pei's intentions from it!

Otherwise, he would not have run the "No Return" ending of "Game Producer" again, let alone try to enter the account password on the website again.

Mr. Pei really only changed these two relatively simple games and the TPDb website, and he played with so many players in the palm of his hand!

But...... was still cracked by his confidant Qiao Laoshi!

Qiao Liang couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, the input box on the black web page had disappeared, and a miserable white invitation appeared, on which lines of blood-colored handwriting began to appear, and it seemed that it was still dripping down little by little.

"Congratulations, the lucky first person to get the invitation."

"You've proven that your brilliant brains and the will to not give up can be food for the hostel."

"If now, smart and tasty, you're ready to dedicate yourself to the Hostel of Palpitations, then do as I say:"

"First, go find a random camera."

"Then, log in to the game with your account and password, and enter this code in the location of the bloody handprint."

"We've got a fun little game for you......"

Underneath the letter is a random patchwork of English and numbers.

Qiao Liang originally had a camera, but he didn't use it often, so he hurriedly wiped the camera, clamped it on the computer screen, and aimed it at his face.

Then, he opened the game "BE QUIET" and clicked on the bloody handprint.

Originally, there was no response to this bloody handprint, but now an input box appeared, and Qiao Liang immediately entered the string of codes.

He didn't think about sharing it with the other players right now, because he was going to be the first player in BE QUIET.

The computer screen went black and it seemed to be in some small program.

There is a mirror in the full-screen display, and Qiao Liang's own face appears in the mirror.

The in-game program seems to display the camera in this mirror, which is a bit like looking through the "window" of the monitor.

It's just that this mirror is a little gray and a little scary.

On the one hand, it's because Qiao Liang's camera is not very clear, and on the other hand, it's because this program seems to add a filter when it displays the picture.

Next to the mirror is a line of blood: "Keep your eyes on the blood in the mirror." ”

There is also a virtual frame in the mirror, outlining the outline of a face, which seems to guide Qiao Liang to straighten the camera and put his face in.

Qiao Liang's camera is mounted on top of the computer screen, so after adjusting the angle a little and closing the distance between himself and the screen, the dotted frame on the screen disappears.

At this time, the blood stains in the mirror began to spread continuously on the mirror surface, and Qiao Liang's eyes stared at this blood stain and kept moving, walking through most areas of the mirror, and finally stopped.

Then, the blood in the mirror disappeared, and the line of blood changed: "Look at yourself in the mirror, no matter what, don't look elsewhere." ”

"Do you mean to keep an eye on it?"

Qiao Liang looked at his face in the mirror, and found that the position he was looking at seemed to have a faint highlight effect, constantly changing the position as his gaze moved.

"Eye-tracking?"

Qiao Liang was a little surprised, and a little surprised.

Eye tracking is not a very high-end technology, it has been around for the past two years, and the camera can roughly determine the position of the screen you are looking at by screening the state of the eye muscles and pupils.

Nowadays, there are many software on the Internet that can achieve the effect of eye tracking.

Of course, this technology is not as good as imagined, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that the face is facing the camera, and to collect data points, just now Qiao Liang stared at the movement of the bloodstains, obviously doing this.

The whole process is more cumbersome, and Mr. Pei has undergone simple packaging, which makes this matter a little weird and more substitutional.

Secondly, the accuracy of eye tracking is very low, and it can only roughly determine a large area of the eyeball, which is not particularly accurate.

However, it seems that enough is used to conduct this test.

Qiao Liang began to stare intently at his face in the mirror.

However, after a few seconds, it dawned on him that something was wrong.

In the lower right corner of the mirror, a black corner of the clothes seems to appear, and there are dark red blood stains on it!
