Chapter 959 - Technological Breakthrough Complete!

Chapter 959: Technological Breakthrough Complete!

Pei Qian smiled slightly and explained, “It’s because of the relationship between our game and the movie. If the two were to be separated at different times, it would definitely cause spoilers in advance. Therefore, we have to be on the same day.”

“I also think it’s a pity to miss the May Day Golden Week, but I have to make some choices.”

“What’s more, it’ll be released on April 14th. It’ll still be able to make use of the prime time of May 1st.”

The corners of Hu Xianbin’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself, Boss Pei, your words are too obvious!

Even those who did not understand the film industry should know that the movie would be released on May 1st. That would be the first day of its release. If it was released on April 30th the premiere day would be May 1st. The difference was huge!

What’s more, it was released on April 14th?

Films basically had the highest box office in the first few days of screening. Some films with poor quality even took up more than half of the total box office on the day of release.

That was because he would not be able to cheat this batch of Chinese idiots after the ratings were out.

Of course, Mission and Choice was not a bad film, but this rule was universal.

The statistics for the first day of screening were extremely important. It was two completely different concepts to take advantage of the May 1st slot and the real May 1st slot!

However, Hu Xianbin did not say much. After all, Boss Pei must have his reasons for making such arrangements.

Huang Sibo, Zhu Xiaoce, and the others were in charge of the movie. They had already successfully produced a movie, so there shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Pei Qian continued, “That’s right, keep this a secret. Don’t mention it to anyone.”

“It’s the same even for people from our department.”

“You don’t have to tell them that the game will be released on the 14th. You just have to tell them to complete the final test and seal the contract before the 13th.”

Pei Qian thought that it would be best to keep it a secret for now. If the release date of the game and the timing of the movie were to be leaked, it would definitely cause a chain reaction. It might even become popular before it was broadcasted.

Thus, only a few core persons-in-charge knew about this.

Hu Xianbin quickly nodded. “I understand!”

“Then… Boss Pei, what should I do?”

Pei Qian sniggered and patted him on the shoulder. “There’s no need to do anything. The game has been completed. There are no problems. I’ve already arranged for the advertising department to do the publicity work. We just have to wait for the game to be released. Then, nothing will go wrong!”

He had to appease Hu Xianbin and tell him not to mess around. Once the game was released, it would clash with the “Fantasy Battle”‘s release date. The plan would work!

As expected, the doubts on Hu Xianbin’s face disappeared. Replacing them was a sense of trust and security from the bottom of his heart.

However, he suddenly thought of something, and a worried expression appeared on his face. “Wait, Boss Pei, there’s another problem!”

“When you and Boss He came to inspect previously, Boss He said that with the current AI technology, even if the game’s AI was done, the game’s combat experience would not improve much.”

“At that time, I didn’t really believe it. After all, the game AI was still in a very simple state and had not been fully developed.”

“However, now that the game has been fully developed, I find that the situation is really what he mentioned. The game’s AI experience seems to be a little lacking.”

“Especially the part of the ‘realistic battle’ at the back. The AI needs to simulate the feeling of the real battlefield. Whether it is the small soldiers escape uncontrollably or do other things depends on the AI’s intelligence. However, I feel that the current feeling is still lacking…”

“Nonetheless, we can only achieve this level with the current level of artificial intelligence technology. I think this is a moderate shortcoming. If there was no ‘Fantasy Battle remake’, there should not be a big problem. However, now that we are going to meet this godly work, any small detail could determine our success or failure. This…”

Hu Xianbin looked worried again.

Pei Qian was even happier after hearing Hu Xianbin’s words.

There was such a good thing?

This was a pleasant surprise!

Pei Qian suppressed his smile and said in all seriousness, “Don’t worry, this is nothing to worry about!”

It was only a small flaw but it would directly affect the gamers’ gaming experience and the influence of the plot. It would not be enough to determine the success or failure of the game but it would still be enough to reduce the reputation and sales!

Everything was in place. What was there to worry about?

At that moment, Pei Qian wanted to look up at the sky and laugh three times. Everything was under control!

At that moment, the system screen suddenly opened in front of Pei Qian. A line of words appeared in his vision without warning.

[Random technical breakthrough completed.]

This line of words stopped for five or six seconds before gradually disappearing. It was as if it wanted to ensure that Pei Qian could see it clearly to prevent any mistakes in the information.

Pei Qian’s smile froze on his face.

What was going on?!

He almost thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

How could there be any random breakthrough in technology? Wasn’t it only available in the previous cycle? There was no special mission in this cycle at all!

What’s more, hadn’t they already made a breakthrough in the previous cycle? Wasn’t AEEIS born because of the technological innovation of Xunke Technologies?

Pei Qian was extremely confused, but the system screen was not fake. The words were extremely clear. He even deliberately paused for a few seconds, as if afraid that Pei Qian would not notice.

What was going on?

Hu Xianbin realized that there was an awkward silence. He was about to find a topic when his cell phone rang.

Boss Pei was here. He had been too embarrassed to take it, but Boss Pei unexpectedly nodded at him. “Take it.”

Hu Xianbin picked up the phone.

Pei Qian calmed down a little. It was a good thing that the call came at the right time. Otherwise, it would be strange if he suddenly became as stunned as a dummy. It might cause unnecessary suspicion.

He wanted to take the opportunity while Hu Xianbin was answering the phone to figure out what was going on.

He could read historical information on the system screen. Pei Qian immediately found the information from the previous settlement and the previous one.

The previous settlement was September 30th. At that time, he received a mysterious reward: a random technical breakthrough would occur in the next six months.

The previous settlement was January 31st. There was no word on the ‘technical breakthrough’ in the settlement interface.

Pei Qian did not believe it. He read the previous settlement’s information from beginning to end, word by word. Indeed, there was none!

Pei Qian’s limbs suddenly turned cold as he realized that something was amiss.

Sh*t, something big had happened!

The appearance of the word ‘system’ today obviously meant that there would be clear hints about technological breakthroughs related to the system reward.

However, there was no hint before the previous settlement. This meant that the artificial intelligence technology from Xunke Technologies was not a breakthrough in the system reward. It was the accumulation of normal technology in this world!

What appeared this time was the real system reward.

Pei Qian silently calculated. The special reward would be released on September 30th. The time would be ‘within the next six months’. October, November, December, January, February, March…

Today was March 29th. In other words, it would still be within the range of ‘six months in the future’ until the day after tomorrow, March 31st!

“Sh*t, I’ve been tricked!”

Pei Qian immediately understood.

Previously, he had subconsciously thought that the so-called technological breakthrough of the system would definitely be completed within the current cycle. In addition, the artificial intelligence technology of Xunke Technologies had appeared rather abruptly. Thus, he had naturally thought of this as a technological breakthrough rewarded by the system.

However, now that he thought about it, the system did not say that it would definitely be completed within a cycle!

The system said ‘six months’, which was exactly within six months!

Pei Qian froze. He could not accept this fact!

At the same time, Hu Xianbin finished his call.

The excitement on his face was beyond words. “I was just wondering why Boss Pei said that the AI problem of Mission and Choice is not a problem at all. It turns out that everything has been arranged!”

“Jiang Yuan called me just now. He said that the Nag artificial intelligence laboratory had chosen the gaming field as the research direction according to your instructions last week. They had only been researching for less than a week when they suddenly found a few new algorithms based on the previous research content!”
