Chapter 817: Strongly Recommended Bickering Mode!

“Your express delivery.”

The young man from Upwind Courier stations politely moved a huge box to Qiao Liang’s door. The Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine that he had ordered last night had arrived.

Qiao Liang was elated. Upwind Logistics’ speed and service were as good as ever.

“Help me remove the packaging,” Qiao Liang said.

The delivery man opened the package outside the door in a very considerate manner. Qiao Liang carried the new bickering machine in and placed it in the living room. Then, he took out the old bickering machine and handed it to the delivery man.

Tengda had provided a service where the original version could be exchanged for the new version which would also entitle them to a discount. Qiao Liang felt that there was no point in having two Bickering Machines at home, so he replaced the previous one.

Qiao Liang began to size up the new bickering machine after closing the door and sending the delivery man off.

His first impression was that this thing had grown taller and was quite heavy.

The original Fully-Automated Bickering Machine was not light either because it was filled with metal parts. Now, with the addition of the sound system, it became even heavier. However, it could still be moved.

Qiao Liang took the two small speakers out of the bickering machine and played with them. He found them very interesting.

He had read the introduction of the new Bickering Machine before on the information page. He knew that there were two removable surround sound systems here, but he still found it interesting to play with them.

It looked very different from other smart speakers or echo wall products from the surface.

He placed the bar-shaped sound system under the television, and the main part of the bickering machine next to the television cabinet. Then, he placed the two removable surround sound systems on the bookshelf behind the sofa, one on the left and one on the right.

“Play a movie to feel it.” Qiao Liang casually turned on a movie from the television, preparing to test the effect of the sound system.

The echo wall had advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional sound systems. The sound quality of the echo wall would definitely not be comparable to traditional speakers of the same price, but it would be much better in terms of surrounding and setting.

What’s more, the echo wall on the Fully-Automated Bickering Machine was priced at about two thousand yuan. In the eyes of true sound enthusiasts, it was only at the level of “listening to sound”. The sound quality was not that good either.

However, it was definitely much better than those smart speakers that cost hundreds of yuan or the sound system that came with the television. To ordinary people, the improvement in the sound quality was obvious.

The movie began to play. The sound effects from all directions quickly surrounded Qiao Liang. Compared to the sound system that came with the television, the biggest advantage of the echo wall was the layers of sound it could produce.

If the voice before was an ordinary cake, then the echo wall would be a thousand-layer cake.

Qiao Liang could not help but feel regret when he felt like he was in the same situation.

He regretted not buying it earlier!

Qiao Liang did not watch television when he was in Beijing. While he did watch a little television when he arrived in Jingzhou, he did not have much interest in the quality of the sound. However, after hearing the sound of the echo wall, he immediately felt that he had been watching television for nothing.

It would be a waste if such good quality video could not be matched with good sound!

What’s more, the Echo Wall had 13 megaphones. They were arranged in a formation with the principle of real reflective surround sound. In other words, while there was a delay to control the sound of each megaphone, the strongest point of the sound wave would be superimposed to form a sound line, creating a real surround feeling.

Qiao Liang immediately switched off the movie and turned on the game console.

Now, many overseas Triple-A games also supported the sound of Dolby Atmos surround sound technology. This was especially true for gunfight games. After using the echo wall, the sound came from all directions, and the immersion was instantly maxed out.

While FPS games were best played with earphones, the main game was not a competitive game. It was not convenient for the main computer and television to pair with earphones, so most people would not wear earphones when playing.

Thus, after changing to the echo wall, the effect was obvious.

Qiao Liang changed several games in a row, but he had not enjoyed enough of it.

“Alright, this money is worth it. However… How did Boss Pei think of combining the Bickering Machine with the Echo Wall? It’s a genius idea!”

After experiencing it for a while, Qiao Liang picked up the manual and flipped through it carefully to see if he had missed any key functions.

“Eh? There’s even a bickering mode?”

“What model is this? Am I supposed to argue with this thing?”

Qiao Liang was shocked when he saw the contents of the instruction manual. He almost thought that this was a prank. He tested the waters and said, “Enter the bickering mode.”

Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Liang’s face was flushed red. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

His blood pressure nearly shot off the charts!

At first, Qiao Liang thought that this function was meant to be a joke. To argue with artificial intelligence? Wasn’t this bullying it, oh no, bullying artificial intelligence?

Did the staff who developed the Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine confirm that AEEIS could understand what people were saying?

However, when they really started fighting, Qiao Liang realized that he was no match for AEEIS at all!

This AEEIS was not only mean in its speech, but it was also extremely sarcastic in its unique and indistinguishable electronic voice. It made people want to smash this thing on the spot.

If not for the fact that this thing was priced at more than two thousand yuan, Qiao Liang suspected that he might not have been able to hold himself back.

What was even more outrageous was that because it was actually an echo wall, even the mocking sounds were coming from all directions!

This feeling was like AEEIS’s virtual image was circling around you while mocking you from every angle. It was unimaginable.

Qiao Liang managed to endure it even though he thought he could not endure it anymore.

This Bickering Machine was the same style as before. As long as the user wanted to bicker, they would continue to do so. It would never admit defeat. They were in an endless loop whether it was the mechanical structure of the Bickering Machine or the voice bickering.

Qiao Liang spent a long time mentally preparing himself before he finally stopped. He also decided not to provoke AEEIS in the future.

They had to get along well now that they were under the same roof.

“Oh, right. someone mentioned online that this can match the lines.”

Qiao Liang found the dialogue between Qin Yi and AEEIS online and played with it as though he was undergoing a Pubscent Crisis.

However, this function could only be considered a small combo with the game, a small Easter egg. To Qiao Liang, the three most useful functions of the Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine were the surround sound effect of the echo wall, the decorative effect of the Bickering Machine, and the smart speaker controlling the smart home in the room.

The Sloth Apartments came with some smart apartments which could be controlled by AEEIS. All he had to do was shout in the living room.

However, the popularity of smart devices had not risen yet, so there were not many smart home devices that could be controlled. They could continue to expand in the future.

“This sound system is really not bad, especially this bickering mode. What kind of genius designed this! I have to publicize it!”

Qiao Liang immediately took out his cell phone and posted a Weibo message.

“I strongly recommend Tengda’s new Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine, especially the Bickering Mode. It’s especially fun. You have to experience it!”

At Shang Yang Games…

Wang Xiaobin was happily reading the gamers’ comments on the downloadable content of the games. He was overjoyed.

The downloadable content of the update this time was quite good, and it had a good reputation as well. It could be said that he had completed the task given by Boss Pei perfectly!

This was a huge improvement and breakthrough for a designer like Wang Xiaobin who was not good at playing games.

He really wanted to show off to Ye Zhizhou, but when he turned around, he realized that Ye Zhizhou was still in Los Angeles.

Among the many posts praising the downloadable content, there were also many people recommending the new Fully-Automated Smart Bickering Machine.

There was no way to find out how it became popular, but it was obvious that more and more netizens were discussing it online!

What’s more, everyone was giving ‘strong recommendation’.

“Is the new Bickering Machine really so fun? I must buy it!”

“Yes, just like before, full of philosophy!”

“It has been injected with a soul.”

“With this bickering machine, my temper has improved visibly. I feel like the distracting thoughts in my heart are getting lesser and lesser, and I’m about to float…”

“If you are an old user who values its philosophical meaning, you must get your hands on a new model of the bickering machine. That is because it is more philosophical than the old model. If you are a new user, you must get your hands on one because it will be an unforgettable experience.”

Wang Xiaobin did not know whether to laugh or cry at everyone’s discussion.

The mentality of these people was the same as spontaneously promoting sadistic games. They all had the mentality of ‘I’m not going to suffer alone’.

Wang Xiaobin could not help but feel emotional. Boss Pei’s Bickering Machine and smart speaker were one and the same. He had given the Bickering Machine its soul!

Its greatest advantage was that it was special and recognizable enough among the smart speakers. It had a good appearance and practicality while also satisfying people’s curiosity.

“Could this be Boss Pei’s ultimate grasp of the consumer mentality?”

Pei Qian’s status in Wang Xiaobin’s heart had risen again.
