Zhang Yan’s father finally agreed to let her quit her current job and become a full-time streamer because, through this game, he had learned the importance of empathy.

Many parents appear dictatorial and unreasonable simply because their understanding is influenced by the environment in which they grew up. Their perspectives have become rigid, making it impossible for them to immediately perceive how the world is changing.

To foster genuine understanding between both sides, effective mediums and channels are needed.

“Dimensional Game Adventure” and the Tenda gaming router were precisely such excellent mediums and channels.

Through this experience, Zhang Yan’s parents realized that many things in this world are constantly changing, and new phenomena cannot always be viewed through unchanging old perspectives.

Their children were now adults, capable of taking responsibility for themselves, and the world they saw was already different from what their parents perceived.

So why not encourage children to make choices according to their own ideas?

The same principle could apply to spouses, friends, or other relationships.

Perhaps it’s difficult for non-gamers and gaming enthusiasts to understand each other because many complex feelings cannot be fully conveyed to the other person.

Many men become henpecked after adulthood, getting scolded by their wives for being irresponsible and lacking a man’s duty whenever they play games for a while, especially when they don’t earn much money. This situation is particularly common.

Admittedly, some gamers have it quite pitiful. As children, they wanted to play games for entertainment but received only scolding from their parents. As adults wanting to play games for entertainment, they faced misunderstanding from their wives.

Their entire lives were spent hustling for livelihood, family, and others, with only rare moments when they could lock themselves in a room to secretly enjoy the pleasure brought by games.

The gaming router was a precious gift from Tenda Games to these gamers.

Zhang Yan searched on her phone for discussions about the gaming router.

Sure enough, many players shared her sentiments.

“I never expected the gaming router would eventually fail to fool my wife, but playing ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ together actually improved our marital relationship. She said she won’t forbid me from playing games anymore and is even willing to give me more pocket money to buy games. Thank you, Tenda!”

“Are you sure it improved your marital relationship and not the other way around?”

“My wife had never played games before, but she picked it up really fast. Now we’re playing ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ together, and she complains every day that I’m terrible at it. What should I do?”

“I suggest divorce, then give me your ex-wife’s contact information!”

“Initially, I also thought the so-called gaming router was just another gimmicky product from Tenda Group, but now it seems this router precisely targets its audience and perfectly solves everyone’s pain points!”

“Upon examination, you’ll find this product’s positioning is extremely accurate. For hardcore gamers, they’ll definitely buy any gaming console Tenda releases, especially one that functions as a router and can stream game displays to all devices—what an amazing console!”

“For players who don’t engage much with games, the gaming router concept is also very interesting, generating marketing buzz among players and thus creating purchase interest.”

“For those with stubborn family members who don’t allow gaming consoles, they can first deceive them in the name of a router, then gradually influence and transform them through ‘Dimensional Game Adventure,’ ultimately achieving mutual understanding.”

“Exactly! After bringing the router home and playing ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ together, most people can empathize with each other. If someone still insists on divorce after all this, I think they really should separate—it serves as a love detector.”

“Sigh, I really hope good games can gradually become more widespread. It’s such a shame that many people can’t experience the joy of something so interesting!”

“Nothing more to say, just forwarding the promotional video for the gaming router to more people. This device should occupy living rooms in thousands of households.”

“What about young people without living rooms?”

“Those without living rooms need it even more! Friend gatherings, dormitory gaming sessions—how could you miss such a magical device?”

Reading the online comments, Zhang Yan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Mr. Pei was truly a genius!

The gaming console industry was relatively fixed, and with foreign manufacturers already having significant first-mover advantages, it was actually very difficult for emerging game companies to turn the tide.

Although Tenda had a decent local lineup and rich game library, with certain advantages in the domestic market, this was still a risky move—one misstep could lead to total failure.

But Mr. Pei not only combined a router with a gaming console to develop a completely new functionality, he also provided an excellent marketing case.

More importantly, the gaming router and “Dimensional Game Adventure” conveyed a spirit that could inspire all domestic players and influence non-gamers, thereby maximizing the user base.

Who else but the business genius Mr. Pei could come up with such an excellent business approach?

…

Meanwhile, Pei Qian was looking at internal sales data, completely dumbfounded.

The gaming router was selling like crazy!

A flood of posts voluntarily sharing about the gaming router appeared online, with everyone tacitly praising it: fast internet speed, good performance, absolutely the top choice for living room routers, strongly recommended for anyone experiencing network lag.

What was it actually? Everyone knew perfectly well, but that didn’t stop them from blatantly lying and cooperating with the official marketing.

Although many people were reviewing the game “Dimensional Game Adventure,” they weren’t connecting it with the gaming router.

Those who didn’t understand were simply interested in the gaming router or were persuaded by people around them to buy one, while those who did understand elevated their evaluation of this console to another level.

Players had given “Dimensional Game Adventure” extremely high ratings, with user scores exceeding 9.5, and the trend was still rising!

Pei Qian was shocked. Wasn’t this game made by independent developers working together?

Logically, it should have been a patchwork monster, so how could it be so excellent?

The key was that players were completely buying into it.

A score above 9.5 solidly placed it in the masterpiece category.

Confused, Pei Qian randomly clicked on a game review to see what made this game so good.

“I heard that initially someone within Tenda suggested that Mr. Pei make Tenda’s next ‘AAA masterpiece’ exclusive to the gaming console. Others suggested creating special console versions of classics like ‘Turn Back to Shore’ and ‘Struggle’ as launch titles. But Mr. Pei rejected both proposals.”

“Mr. Pei didn’t use Tenda Games’ latest AAA titles as launch or exclusive games but instead commissioned the independent developers at the Last Resort Project incubator to develop a launch exclusive for the console.”

“Many people were puzzled by this, but now it’s clear that Mr. Pei was truly visionary, turning stone into gold!”

“‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ is absolutely the perfect finishing touch for the gaming router.”

“Using either the next AAA title as an exclusive or special console versions of classic games as launch titles would have been inappropriate. The former has a coercive nature, while the latter shows a lack of sincerity. Neither choice would have been sufficient to make the gaming router wildly popular.”

“‘Dimensional Game Adventure,’ however, leveraged the advantages of the incubator, organizing independent game developers, which resulted in this masterpiece.”

“First, this represents the inclusive nature of the Morning Dew gaming platform and Tenda’s new gaming console. It shows that all third-party game manufacturers can receive equal treatment on this platform. Mr. Pei entrusted the important task of developing the console’s launch title to the carefully nurtured independent game incubator, demonstrating his trust in independent game developers.”

“Second, ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ brings together all previous Tenda games, allowing players to recall those unforgettable gaming moments. For those who haven’t played Tenda games, this game serves as the best introduction and explanation of Tenda games, as well as a concentrated showcase of the country’s best games.”

“Finally, ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ maximizes the features of the gaming router, allowing multiple people to play together through screen sharing and other methods, embodying the essence of party games. This product design of the gaming router perfectly reflects Tenda Games’ understanding of console and living room gaming characteristics—maximizing shared experiences rather than isolating oneself in the game world.”

“Therefore, I believe Mr. Pei truly deserves his reputation. Although he didn’t directly participate in the development of ‘Dimensional Game Adventure,’ just this one masterstroke demonstrates his game design philosophy, which surpasses that of all other game developers.”

Reading the analyses of many online game reviewers, Pei Qian felt despair welling up inside him.

Was this his fault again?

The people at the independent game incubator had completely misunderstood his intentions. He had asked them to make a patchwork game, but instead, they naturally integrated so many games, created different gameplay styles, and most infuriatingly, added features to complement the gaming router with new functionalities.

This was outrageous!

From the current situation, the gaming router was being frantically purchased. For those who owned all platforms, of course they would buy one to experience it, and for those who didn’t play games much, “Dimensional Game Adventure” alone was enough reason to purchase it.

Moreover, it was also an excellent router product!

Not only that, but there seemed to be signs of scalper activity.

These scalpers were like flies, appearing wherever there were signs of shortages.

Most consoles had very limited production capacity when first launched, and the strong demand from players made scalpers see profit potential, naturally swarming in.

Although Tenda Group had always prided itself on maintaining abundant inventory, the gaming router was relatively unconventional, so Outou Technology hadn’t dared to stock too many. Currently, there was significant pressure on inventory.

Pei Qian gritted his teeth and called Chang You.

“Stock up like crazy, and discount each console by another 500 yuan! I don’t care about anything else, but the scalpers must die!”
