Dropping the bath basket on the floor, Kraven sat down on the folding chair and looked around with an unkind expression.

After a long trip, he fully realized the shortcomings of his RV, and he became more and more unpleasant to its small and tight space.

Because of the limited space in the car, the bathroom is small enough to cause claustrophobia, and the only way to take a bath is to use a simple folding bathroom, let alone lie down comfortably and take a bath, and even two people can't take a shower together, which is simply no fun at all.

There is also a bathroom in the RV camp is also very inhumane, there is no double bathroom for couples, so he can only come back and wait alone after washing early.

As for who he was waiting for, Aretha was, of course, still grinding in the women's bathroom. The other party put a lot of props and equipment in the bath basket: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, scrub, skin care lotion, shaving cream, razor...... It takes a lot of time just to use it all once, not to mention that she also brought her mobile phone in.

Looking up at the time, Kraven found his phone and ordered two takeouts, and then boredly swiped through the notification center.

The biggest difference of Bee Notification Center is that it integrates the RSS (Simple Message Aggregation) reading function, which saves the time of opening a browser or a special reader, which is excellent for passing the time.

Of course, this is mainly designed to achieve no-wake, cross-device notifications, and the style of the notification center depends entirely on the user's needs and settings.

"Huh?"

His eyes fell on a notice, and the American boy was surprised and said to himself: "So fast?"

It's not been a week since the official announcement of the PtOS system.,I received an upgrade reminder from Bee Games.,It's really a little strange.。

Curiously clicking on the title and scanning the text, Kraven understood, "Uh, it turned out to be a grayscale test." ”

Grayscale testing is a limited public beta where developers provide a new version of the software to a small number of users, confirm that there are no problems, and then gradually scale up, and eventually completely replace the old version of the product, which can make the transition between the old and the new smoother and more stable.

Nodding subconsciously, he bent down and reached out to take out the computer bag from the cabinet, unzipped it and pulled out a blue notebook.

Take out the power from the side pocket of the computer bag and turn it on, open the screen and press the power button, a rotating and shining Mars pattern appears on the black background, which is the boot animation of PTUI7, and then the main interface of the game console appears on the screen.

Obviously, this is not an ordinary "notebook", it looks more like a game console housed in a notebook case.

Due to the encouraging attitude of Bee Games, there are many third-party mod shells for PT consoles on the market, and this PTbook from Kraven is one of them. It's a good idea to pack a game console in your bag and play around, but unfortunately the built-in battery is not very powerful, the battery life is no more than 2 hours, and most of the time you need to connect to an external AC power supply.

Despite this, console game mobile play still brings Craven a lot of new and interesting experiences, especially his laptop supports WiFi function, which can be used to share the hotspot of the mobile phone Wi-Fi, and can play online games outdoors.

Clicking on the blue exclamation mark in the upper left corner, Kraven saw the system upgrade notification and decisively chose to accept it.

It is said to be an upgrade, but it is actually a replacement of the operating system.

The current operating system is actually a bee system with a dedicated interface, which can run all BPP applications, resulting in PTbox has been criticized for mobile game boxes. The new version of the PtOS Platinum system is designed for PT devices, just like the Xbox operating system is for the PC version of Windows, although the system kernel has not changed, the main functions and appearance of the interface have changed dramatically, and the changes are unprecedented.

At the just-concluded CES Consumer Electronics Show, Bee Games unveiled and demonstrated the system, claiming that it could significantly improve gaming performance. Kraven was not at the scene at the time, and could only imagine it by himself based on the descriptions of the media and netizens, and now that he finally has the opportunity to experience it first, he naturally can't miss it.

The WiFi speed at the camp was quite impressive, just made a cup of coffee and the download was done.

After all, mobile phones, game consoles, home computers, and commercial computers are four kinds of equipment with different uses, and they have different requirements for performance, power consumption, stability, safety, convenience, and aesthetics. Developers are human beings, not gods, and there is no way to create a super system that has no shortcomings and perfectly adapts to all devices, so focusing on it is an inevitable choice.

In this case, the bee mobile phone with large sales and high profits will undoubtedly be given priority, but the game console and other equipment can only get second-line resources, and they will be treated coldly and neglected for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before they are separated.

In fact, Bee Games has been planning to go it alone for a long time, as evidenced by the fact that they have launched PGP, a game packaging format, and actively encouraged PT game developers to use the new format. As more and more games begin to apply new formats, the proportion of mobile games in the PT ecosystem is getting lower and lower, and the time has finally come to cut off from the mobile phone ecosystem, part ways with each other, and go their own way.

"Important: PtOS is an operating system designed for PT class devices and only supports PGP packages. If you upgrade to a new system, your device will lose support for the BPP mobile app. Are you sure about upgrading?"

After reading the prompt text that appeared on the screen, Craven smiled slightly, and his heart was clear: finally the day of official separation, from now on the mobile phone is the mobile phone, and the host is the host. Don't hesitate at the moment and click to confirm decisively.

In fact, he will be included in the grayscale test, which has a lot to do with the fact that he is a heavy gamer. Kraven has only a few mobile apps on several consoles, and the frequency of use is also very low, and the impact of not supporting BPP on him is completely negligible.

It may be that this machine has an SSD installed, and the installation speed of the new system is very fast, and Kraven's disk of "HeroScrollonline" has not yet been completed, and the installation progress on the screen has run to 83%.

Just glanced at the screen distractedly, and his "JuniorJoiner" (Little Carpenter) lost half a tube of blood, but someone jumped over and happily output a wave.

As the overseas version of the MOBA mobile game "Hundred Generals", "HSol" inherits the characteristics of the former's heroes such as sea of play, changeable gameplay, fierce rhythm and frequent kills, and it is particularly easy to kill heroes who are distracted.

Seeing this scene, Kraven hurriedly threw out his ultimate move "Careless Doom", scattering pieces of sawdust, iron nails, and glue around him, and then retreated decisively. Fluffy wood chips can be traced and hidden, fire skills can be ignited and have extra damage, spikes can deal multiple damage, and super glue can slow down the area, this trick has many functions in one, and it is Kraven's favorite life-saving skill. As strings of shavings flew out and threw sawdust, the little carpenter managed to escape control, and then fought back with his teammates who came to support, successfully killing the opponent, and grabbing the final blow because of the multiple damage.

However, the joy and sadness were that before his kill prompt dissipated, a thin red line flew from the edge of the screen, and then he heard the little carpenter let out a miserable scream, and his head fell and rolled to the side, but it was a hundred-step flying sword from "SwordFairy". This skill has an "over-the-horizon" attack ability, which can ignore the field of vision and attack a designated target, especially good at long-range patching. As a countermeasure, the damage of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword is average, the flight time is long, and if the timing of release is not accurate, it will become useless.

was harvested tragically, and Craven naturally couldn't bear it, so he held down the voice button and began to squirt loudly, venting the depression and grief in his heart.

Although the dirty words will be silenced and blocked, and the other party can't see or hear it at all, he still can't control his mouth, and only hates himself for forgetting to ban him for a while. SF's ability to mend the knife is really powerful, and if you use it well, it is a major threat on the opposite side, and it is a leading dog on your own side, and it will definitely not be welcomed, and in the same way, this hero is a waste if you don't use it well, and usually no one will deliberately ban him.

Speaking of which, Kraven also asked for himself, just now he laughed at people for being rookies, and in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face, and his depression suddenly doubled.

Fortunately, the SF on the opposite side was just a flash of inspiration and luck, and there was no case of thousands of miles of receiving people's heads later. However, Kraven's little carpenter worked steadily, followed his teammates to repair the arrow tower all the way to the opponent's base, and successfully broke the hub and won the game.

Glancing at the laptop screen, I found that the progress had reached 97% and was in the process of putting the finishing touches.

In this case, there was naturally no time to do it again, so Claven simply launched "HSol" and patiently waited for the installation of the new system.

He didn't have to wait too long, and his PTbox automatically restarted and started running the new PtOS Platinum system.

The boot speed is very fast, and it takes less than 15 seconds to enter the main interface.

Glancing at the desktop theme, Kraven couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. As if to highlight the characteristics of the new system, the default theme is silver-white, and the buttons and menus on it are fine mechanical parts, and when you click to switch, you can see the gear turning, chain transmission, and paddle flipping, although the animation is rich to the extent of abuse, but there is no sign of stuttering.

Of course, whether the desktop looks good or not is just the icing on the cake, and the key is how well the game performs. Unable to explore a new system, Kraven chose MonkeyKing to enter the world of the Monkey King.

Soon, a monkey named CalanBale appeared on the screen with a red robe and a large sword. It grinned and jumped to its feet in cheer, then crouched down to look at Kraven with a sad look on its face, as if complaining about his neglect during this time.

This is the original technology of Bee Games, "Piercing the Screen". It allows the game character and the player to interact through the screen, which plays a role in enhancing the player's emotional betting, and improving the stickiness and longevity of the game. By the way, it can also show its own strength, simple looking at the need to use eye tracking, expression animation, expression recognition, voice recognition, artificial intelligence and other technologies, there are still some difficulties.

"I'm sorry to be so busy these days," Kraven said into the screen.

He has been very busy lately, he has to drive through the state and county during the day, and he has to clock in and drive until late at night, and the time he can use to play games is naturally compressed, but there is nothing he can do.

The monkey didn't know this, and when he opened his mouth to explain, his face returned to normal, and he became a person with ADHD who was jumping and jumping and eager to try.

"Alright, let's get into the game!"

Craven opened his mouth to give the command, and the monkey turned and ran on all fours, the screen gradually blurred, and by the time it was clear again, the monkey had appeared on the tower of a European-style castle.

There is no doubt that this castle is Kraven's handiwork, and as a sandbox game, designing and building the scene by himself is one of the manifestations of the Monkey King's high degree of freedom.

The main quest of the game has long been completed, and CalanBale defeats Sun Wukong in a fair match to win the title of "Monkey King" and become the king of Huaguo Mountain. Then he had the authority to build a house and build roads in the area of Huaguo Mountain, and then he commanded the monkeys and helped him build this copycat version of "Neuschwanstein Castle".

Perhaps because of the relationship between playing building blocks since childhood, a large proportion of European and American players are "building control", and Kraven is one of them. In the past, he moved bricks to build villas in "Minecraft", and now he has gone to "Monkey King" to quarry stones and build castles, and the spirit of moving bricks and walls is in the same vein.

Kraven's castle is built on a cliff, with lush green mountains and clear springs and waterfalls in the background, and in front of the vast sea of clouds flowing slowly at the top of the hill trees.

The scenery was already fantastic, but now it looked a little prettier, and he knew it was the result of the host's enhanced performance. He has seen a similar situation on his PTW, even if the "no optimization mode" is not enabled, the PTW's picture is still better than other devices.

Bringing up the performance monitoring window, I saw that the FPS numbers were stable between 59 and 60. After a moment of fiddling with the settings panel, Kraven nodded in satisfaction, turned on the video recording mode, and drove the monkey to leap from the tower and swoop down the cliff ahead.

This cliff is a thousand meters high, and even if there are pine trees, pools, and straw piles below, you will still fall to your death if you fall, and there is no chance of survival.

However, his monkey has mastered the mysterious oriental "cloud flying technique", but he does not have to worry about falling to death on the spot, just to enjoy the scenery along the way, which is why he has set his "home" on the cliff.

Sure enough, when the cloud mist appeared around the monkey's body, it slowed down and then climbed again, leaving a "J" shaped trajectory, and finally stopped on the tops of a large tree, gently swaying in the wind.

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't bring a VR headset this time, otherwise I would have been able to experience the new scenery," sighed regretfully, and Kraven finished the video and quit the game, looking at the video he had just recorded.

The results are naturally good, the performance of the host is improved, and it is also helpful for video recording and playback, and the improvement of the new system can be described as quite comprehensive. With all the old machines so good, what about the more powerful PT2?
