July 11th, Thursday.

Zhang Yan returned home from work with a huge box.

She peeped into the house from the living room and saw her father practicing calligraphy in the study while her mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Hearing movement in the living room, Mama Zhang poked her head out of the kitchen and said, “Xiao Yan is home? Quick, call your dad out. It’s time to eat.”

Zhang Yan put the box on the ground and called her father into the living room to prepare for dinner.

Father Zhang went to wash his hands. It was only then that he realized the huge box in the living room. He asked, “What is this?”

Zhang Yan answered, “Oh, hasn’t our router been used for a period of time? The internet speed is a little slow, and the signal coverage is not good. My house is too remote, and the signal is often not good. Thus, I bought a router. It can be used with the original router. The internet speed will increase a lot.”

“That way, you don’t have to worry about being stuck on the television!”

Zhang Yuan’s father looked at him suspiciously. “Such a huge box?”

Zhang Yan nodded. “Of course. The more high-end the router is, the larger it will be. After all, there is too much data to deal with. We can’t suppress it if the machine is small.”

She took out a paper knife and opened the box, taking out a huge octopus from inside.

Father Zhang was very surprised. “Whoa, this new router is so big. It’s almost as big as a small computer.”

“Are you sure this is a router? I don’t think I’ve seen such a huge one before.”

Zhang Yan nodded. “Of course. This is Tengda Corporation’s latest router. It’s very high-end.”

“Look at the packaging!”

“Look at this promotional video!”

Zhang Yuan’s father looked at the introduction on the box suspiciously. They were indeed introducing the content of the router-related parameters.

He took the cell phone from Zhang Yan and looked at the promotional video of the game router on the official website.

Indeed, the content was similar.

The reason why it was called the game router might be because this router had a special frequency segment for the game. What’s more, it had its own game acceleration function. It could very well reduce the lag problems during the game process. Moreover, it could choose different frequencies between the game and its relationship to minimize the interference on both sides.

Zhang Yan’s father did not have any objections to this. After all, he and Zhang Yan’s mother had tacitly agreed that Zhang Yan was a streamer’s side business. Since it was the main streamer who wanted to broadcast games, it was understandable to buy a better router to increase the internet speed.

What’s more, Zhang Yan’s family conditions were not bad, and the area of the house was relatively large. The coverage of the ordinary router would indeed be a little bad. It was reasonable to use two router websites.

Zhang Yan quickly installed the game router on the coffee table next to the television. Then, she plugged in the internet power source and the television connection and began to adjust.

Zhang Yan’s father helped Zhang Yan’s mother carry the dishes while observing the television.

There was even an AEEIS voice notification for the installation guidance!

“Please log into your Tengda official account next.”

“Please set the name and password of the router and wireless network.”

“The system is being upgraded. You can choose the automatic upgrade option. The router will automatically update the hardware when you are resting while maintaining the electricity state.”

There was nothing special about installing it step by step.

However, Father Zhang felt a little strange. “Why are there so many installations for a router? What’s more, what’s that in your hand? Isn’t that the controller of the game machine?”

Zhang Yan explained, “Aiya, this is the latest version of the router. There are many functions of the router now. This router can also be integrated into the functions of a television box and a cable television. You can use it to watch movies in the future.”

“A router with complicated functions like this cannot be used in one go like other small router. We still have to set it up.”

“This is the game controller that I bought in the past. The good thing about this router is that it can be controlled through the game controller of other brands. Wouldn’t that save the money to buy the remote control?”

Zhang Yan was a game streamer. Her parents did not play games but they had seen the controller before.

Thus, Zhang Yan thought that it would easily arouse suspicion if she were to buy another version with a controller at home since there were already three or four controllers. Thus, she bought a controller version and used the controller of other mainframes to control this game router.

That would make it less suspicious.

Father Zhang nodded. “Alright, come and eat if it’s set.”

The three of them chatted as they ate. Zhang Zuting’s father tapped on his cell phone, not knowing what to check.

He had just remembered the name of this router and searched for Tengda Games’ router online. Indeed, he successfully found the official website.

He clicked on the details page of the product, but there were still no problems. They were all introducing the parameters of this router.

He might not understand what these parameters represented but the latest computer, flagship chip, and huge storage capacity still felt impressive to him.

The price was indeed a little expensive. It was almost 10 times more expensive than ordinary road equipment!

However, Zhang Yan’s family background was more liberal after all. Her parents were relatively open about spending money. Zhang Yan had bought the steering package that cost more than 10,000 yuan. It did not seem like a big problem to spend 4,000 yuan to buy a game router.

Father Zhang still felt that it was a little strange, so he clicked on the product review to check it out.

Many users were posting individual comments in the details of the review. They were all five stars.

“The latest router is really too useful. I’ll bid farewell to it and enjoy a technological life!”

“This router is indeed very convenient! All the movies and dramas are gathered together. It can even have the function of a television box. It’s a very worth shopping trip.”

“I bought it for my girlfriend. She’s very satisfied with it. Now, she’s snatching it on the shopping website faster than others. She’s not worried that she won’t be able to snatch it from those scalpers at all.”

“It’s beautifully packaged and controlled. It’s rare to see such a meticulously-made router. Tengda Corporation is indeed the first in the industry no matter what product they make.”

Father Zhang only relaxed after scrolling through a few comments.

No matter how he looked at it, this looked like an ordinary game router.

Zhang Yan knew very well what her father was doing. She was chewing on her pork chop while suppressing her smile so that she would not be exposed.

Zhang Yan’s live-stream business had been doing very well during this period. She had always wanted to resign and do live-streams with all her might, but her parents had never agreed.

Previously, the safe and civilized driving competition organized by Bunny Tail Live-Stream platform had ended perfectly. These outstanding players and streamers had also been addicted to professional racing drivers. In the end, Zhang Yan even obtained second place in the amateur group and became famous in one battle!

This competition was not only live-streamed on Bunny Tail live-stream the entire time. The live-stream was also edited into a variety show that was broadcasted on Bunny Tail live-stream.

Zhang Yan might have a certain talent and stood out among many amateur players, but she was older after all. It would be difficult for her to fulfill her dreams of a professional racing car driver.

However, she was already satisfied to be able to participate in similar venue competitions often.

After participating in this competition, Zhang Yan’s live-stream naturally flooded with more viewers. As a female streamer in the safe and civilized driving area, Zhang Yan relied on her strong strength and unyielding will to conquer many viewers. Her popularity was also rising steadily!

Bunny Tail Live-Stream was constantly increasing the benefits of the live-streamers. Thus, the money earned from the live-stream business had far exceeded Zhang Yan’s original job.

Zhang Yan felt that she could more or less consider quitting. That was because her original job would take a lot of her energy and she would not be able to concentrate on live-streaming.

What’s more, this stable job was not something she liked. She kept feeling that she was wasting time and that she should not keep occupied.

However, his parents did not agree at all. They felt that playing games was not proper business. The income of the host now was not bad, but the future was too uncertain.

Thus, her parents’ greatest concession was to allow her to be a live streamer during her part-time job. However, she could not resign from her job and become a full-time live streamer!

Zhang Yan did not have a good solution. She wanted to gradually change the concept of her parents, but she could not find any breakthrough point.

Zhang Yan also tried to find her father to use the steering wheel to play safe and civilized driving, but it did not stimulate Father Zhang’s fun in the game. Father Zhang still felt that he was tired of driving in reality. Why would someone choose to continue driving in the game? It was simply incomprehensible!

Zhang Yan tried a few times but it did not work. She could only give up.

He could only say that there was a threshold for entertainment. The taste and preferences of entertainment had to be nurtured step by step.

Many people had not played good games before. Naturally, their understanding and taste of games could not keep up. Once they had this preconceived stereotype, it would become increasingly difficult to really understand the game in depth.

Many parents viewed games as ferocious beasts because they had no experience in truly outstanding games. They did not understand them. They only saw relatively inferior games that had a negative impact on teenagers.

It was indeed extremely difficult to let these people who did not play games experience the fun of games.

Zhang Yan saw the news conference for the game router. At first, she thought that this news conference was a performance. However, after obtaining information about this main computer monopolizing the game online, she suddenly had a bold idea.

After the meal, they cleared the dining table, threw the dishes into the dishwasher, and sat on the sofa to eat fruits.

Zhang Yan’s mother subconsciously wanted to use the remote control to watch the television.

Zhang Yan quickly said, “Dad, Mom, you can watch television directly on the game router in the future. Do you see it? There are mainstream video software here. They can even connect to cable TV signal.”

Zhang Yan handed the two controllers to her parents as she spoke.

Zhang Yan’s father and mother followed Zhang Yan’s instructions and pressed the cross key and joystick. They found that they could indeed open the video software through the controller.

Seeing that her parents were already interested, Zhang Yan took the opportunity to say, “By the way, this router also has some family puzzle games. Why don’t we play it simply?”
