MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 81
In the hotel room, Pei Yi finished talking on the phone with Bo Yueming, Xiang Nansheng and others before turning around and telling Li Yu'an, "Liyuan, our competition ppt will come as usual this afternoon."
"Come as usual?"
Li Yu'an believes in his own game and the judgment of his friends, but he just doesn't believe in Ke Ming's thieves shouting "stop the thief".
"Pei Yi, Ke Ming did it on purpose. The setting of "Obliteration of Alien Beasts" is more and more similar to ours, and they have seized the advantage in the morning session. Our "End Mist" only explained the game in the afternoon session. I'm afraid Will be beaten by him."
Li Yu'an originally thought that after this period of experience, he had become mature, stable and strong, but he didn't understand until he met the opponent who taunted and humiliated him in the past——
I still can't afford to lose after owning it, especially a career that has been hard-won.
Pei Yi saw his friend's tense nerves from just now, "forced" him to sit on the sofa, and took the initiative to hand over the cigarettes on the table.
"Liyuan, smoke one? Then listen to me."
"..."
They lived on a smoking floor, and they stayed in the room near the window, and occasionally smoked a cigarette and a half, but it didn't matter much.
Li Yu'an looked at the cigarette stuffed into his hand, shook his head, "No."
One is that I don’t want to make my friends feel uncomfortable, and the other is to remember the goal of quitting smoking that I set before the Chinese New Year.
He poured himself half a glass of cold mineral water, "I'm fine, just tell me what you think."
Pei Yi sat down opposite him, and asked back, "Liyuan, you have already read the description of the setting of "Killing Alien Beasts", and it is the core operation of our "Mist of the End", then I ask you—"
"Who is higher and who is lower in the background of the two games? Who is stronger and who is weaker in the game character setting? Who wins and who loses in the game's NPC portrayal?"
Li Yu'an took the vote for granted, "Of course it is our "Last Mist"!"
It's not that he speaks through a filter, but that their game is actually better.
Regarding the background of the game, the two sides have been competitive since the time of the capital competition. As the architect, "The Last Mist" created by Pei Yi is more magnificent and huge in terms of world view.
On the other hand, the cobbled together "Kill the Alien Beast" still has the shadow of many foreign alien movies.
In terms of game character settings, there are four human characters and a "mutated wolf" in "Destroy the Alien Beast", while "The Last Mist" has six human characters and a "human zombie".
It seems that the former copy is similar, but in terms of preparation time and related attributes, "The Last Mist" is definitely more detailed, richer and more team-related.
As for the final portrayal of the npc, it's up to everyone.
Pei Yi said from his own structural point of view, "In my opinion, Ke Ming forcibly increased the game characters of "Slay the Alien Beast" from one to five, which is actually superfluous."
If you want too much, it will destroy the uniqueness of the game.
"Liyuan, do you remember their initial setting?"
Li Yu'an is not a professional architect, and he doesn't understand the first half of his friend's sentence for the time being, but he still remembers the original story concept of "Alien Beast"—
Because of the improper operation of the anti-gene experiment, a large number of mutated organisms fled around, which affected human beings in a short period of time and brought global harm.
And the "protagonist of the game" is currently the only person who is harmed by the alien beast and will not be affected, and can even make other alien beasts bow down for his blood.
"Think about it, in the context of global variation to the point where there are no normal human game settings, the 'uniqueness' of the protagonist of the game is the key to attracting players."
The lonely but exclusive brand of fate is the key attraction of this game.
Of course, if the game is upgraded later or there is another copy, it is okay for new characters to appear again.
But Ke Ming's "Killing the Alien Beast" completely destroyed the most exciting point at the beginning.
Unique is no longer unique.
The initial setting of "The Last Mist" is that there are still many human beings surviving. The highlights of the game start from the "amnesia" at the beginning, and the process of meeting "companions" on the road, and then "revealing the secret" side by side to reach the truth.
If "The Last Mist 10" is limited to single-player battles, then the upgraded mobile game "The Last Mist 20" is aimed at multiplayer team battles.
As the chief planner of the game, Pei Yi obviously understands the advantages of his own game better than "Tailor" Ke Ming.
"The plagiarism of the other party is to make the two games have similar settings, but the word 'different' is the key to our superiority over them."
"Liyuan, we don't need to change the settings, we just need to add a page of 'innovation' at the end of the ppt."
"Innovation?"
"Well, I just asked Brother Xiang, we need to improve the degree of freedom in the game skills, so that players can customize the attack range, distance, and even attack path of each skill."
If the player does not need to customize, they can also follow the official initial settings.
Of course, custom skill changes have official value ranges.
Li Yu'an's eyes were slightly surprised, "Is this possible? Will it increase the load of the game?"
Pei Yi told the truth, "It will aggravate a little bit, but GM is willing to increase investment to solve the technical and server problems, so we can just let it go."
Li Yu'an's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he regained a little joking interest, "Your family you are looking for? Does this count as going through the back door?"
"The **** Ke Ming has already gone through the organizer's back door, what can I not do?"
Pei Yi was straightforward and respected the rules of the game, "Besides, my back door won't affect other people's grades."
"If Xiao Li always feels that it's not suitable, then you can call another senior executive of GM to try it out? You guys, please go to the right door."
"..."
Li Yu'an heard Pei Yi mention "Yan Cen" secretly, as if thinking of something, he coughed, "What are you talking about?"
Pei Yi met his eyes, smiled and said nothing.
Li Yu'an put down the cigarette in his hand and got up, "Then what, don't you want to increase the content of the ppt? I'll go get the computer, and if you say I'll change it, let's hurry up."
"OK."
Pei accepted the opinion, and finally added, "Liyuan, don't worry, our game can at least enter the top five."
Even if, as Ke Ming believes, the favorites for the awards are all concentrated in the morning session, the pressure of "picking five out of ten" in the afternoon session will naturally decrease.
Besides, their game has never been a patchwork of flamboyant—
You can't become fat with one mouthful, and you can't climb to the sky with one foot. Everything must be done step by step.
No matter how certain the result is in the eyes of others, there is a one in ten thousand chance of being changed, and they must be fully prepared for that chance!
Li Yu'an completely broke free from the coerced anger, calm and confident, "Well, I know."
Regardless of whether the result is predetermined or not, as long as they can make it into the top five, it will not be a waste of time for them this time.
What's more, the big move to deal with Ke Ming is still at the end!
…
It was as expected by Pei Yi.
After two days of two selections by the organizers of the competition, their "Last Mist" was still shortlisted in the top five, other than that—
Xingyun Quyou's "Trace", "Cicada Studio"'s "Obliteration of Alien Beasts", Mufeng Games' "Canghaiguan", and Jiyou Entertainment's "Gunshen Baijinyi" are also shortlisted.
Soon, it was the last day for the competition to announce the winning games.
The seats of Pei Yi and Li Yu'an were moved from the fifth row to the third row, and they were also arranged on the left side of Ke Ming.
The eyes of the two sides met, and then quickly staggered.
Pei Yi didn't want her friend to be influenced by Ke Ming again, so she took the initiative to sit next to the latter, and gave Li Yu'an the inner seat.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them sat down, Ke Ming smiled deliberately and said, "I didn't expect to meet each other even after we reached the finals?"
Pei Yi didn't bother to pay attention to Ke Ming's seeking trouble for nothing, and simply ignored it.
"..."
Ke Ming was taken aback, but the face of the villain was still there, "It's a pity, you can only run here with me."
After all, how could it be possible for the top three in a game competition to have two end-of-the-world games?
Since this spot was occupied in advance by his "Killing the Alien Beast", it was doomed that Li Yu'an and others could only sit in the audience and act as losers to watch him come to the stage to receive the award.
Ke Ming thought of this, and his eyes became more and more determined, "I heard that you plan to customize the attack settings of the game? This idea is really good."
"..."
Hearing this, Pei Yi felt a chill in her heart, "Mr. Ke, no matter whether the idea is good or bad, it's not your idea.
Seeing that he finally reacted, Ke Ming made a high-sounding excuse, "Let's go together, learn from each other and make progress together."
Who thought of it, and does it matter?
Is it exclusive innovation, does it matter?
As long as their "Destroying the Alien Beast" is released before "The Last Mist" and wins the "time difference", then it may not be who copied who?
Pei Yi understood everything from Ke Ming's eyes, and her disgust became stronger.
Ke Ming saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart—it was better to have a reaction than no reaction. The angrier and more concerned the other party was, the happier he felt physically and mentally.
Ke Ming looked at Pei Yi's face again, and asked persistently, "Mr. Will, I have been thinking about it for the past two days, where did we meet before?"
In fact, he has privately asked his assistant to investigate Will's real identity, but there is no news for a while.
Ke Ming came back to his senses and added, "You really look familiar to me."
Pei Yi didn't leave him anymore, she just looked away from him, stingy and didn't want to give him another extra look.
Soon, the public announcement of the award presenters sounded on the stage—
"Congratulations, Xingyun Fun Tour, the suspense-solving game "Trace" has been shortlisted for the top three in the 8th Original Game Design Competition!"
The audience burst into applause, "Trace" is the award-winning game that everyone expected.
As the representative, Gu Jianshen got up calmly, and before taking the stage, he did not forget to take a look at Pei Yi, expressing his sincere gratitude to him as the original architect.
Pei Yi smiled back, "Congratulations."
Gu Jianshen replied in a low voice, "Mr. wlll, I hope to see you on stage later."
Although the sound is not loud, people around can still hear it clearly.
When Ke Mingming saw this scene, there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes—
In his opinion, Xingyun Quyou's "Zhouji" is just a good start, and it is backed by a big game company like "Weiyi"!
As one of the behind-the-scenes investors of the competition, maybe, "Trace" was already scheduled to win the award, and it was almost the same as their "Killing the Alien Beast", no one is necessarily better than the other!
The three out of five awards were presented next to each other. Not long after, the voice of the award presenter sounded on the stage——
"Congratulations, Cicada Studio, the doomsday survival game "Killing Alien Beasts" was shortlisted for the top three in the 8th Original Game Design Competition!"
At the moment when the list of winners was announced, apart from Pei Yi and Li Yu'an who had expected it, the discussion of the rest of the audience gradually became one-
"How could it be it? I thought it would be Mr. Deng's "The View of the Sea."
"It's also a post-apocalyptic game, no matter what, "The Last Mist" is better than "Alien Beast"."
"I also think that the setting concept of "Alien Beast" is too similar to the visual sense of some alien movies. If you reach the top five, you will die. Why did you still win the award?"
"I also think this game is almost interesting. The organizer won't open the back door, will it?"
"How is it possible? Wouldn't the credibility be gone?"
"..."
Ke Ming ignored the discussions coming from behind, got up and straightened his suit, with a high profile like a winner.
In his view, only losers talk behind their backs.
Ke Ming retaliated by ignoring Pei Yi and Li Yu'an on the left, looked at Deng Mufeng on his right, and repeated Gu Jianshen's words in the same way.
"Mr. Deng, I'll see you on stage later, my intuition has always been very accurate."
Facing his affirmation, Deng Mufeng smiled politely, "Thank you, congratulations."
As a competition game, "Gun God Hundred Advances One" is original in the competition system, but there are not no similar products that can be replaced in the market.
This time they were shortlisted into the top five, and the person in charge of their game was already very happy, and they didn't even think about winning the top three.
After all, winning the top five titles is enough to start, and their game is warming up.
By default, you can only choose one of the two shortlisted games of the same type, so the only one left to win the award is "Cang Hai Guan", an ancient game with the same high demand for awards?
Li Yu'an looked at the back of Ke Ming Dezhi on stage, even though he was already prepared to lose the election, he still felt aggrieved and lost beyond words—
Original game design contest?
This year, the organizers let a game that combines plagiarism, plagiarism, and splicing be shortlisted? Is this really fair to the other contestants?
Sure enough, no matter where you go, you can't escape the control of capital?
Li Yu'an looked at his friend and sighed in a low voice, "Suddenly regretted encouraging you to participate in this competition."
"How can it be considered instigation? Didn't we decide to come after discussing it?"
Pei Yi suppressed the sense of loss in her heart and comforted her friend, "Liyuan, don't give up our career until the last second."
Li Yu'an sighed with a smile, "Well, I understand."
He is always fortunate that he did not reject Pei Yi's partnership invitation at the beginning. The words and deeds of the other party have helped him a lot and changed him a lot.
Yes.
Even if the result of this competition is already doomed, they still have to wait until the final winner is announced.
On the other side, a confident Ke Ming came to the stage and stood beside Gu Jianshen, "Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Gu Jianshen looked at him with very pale eyes, and obviously did not expect this result.
He originally thought that if Will's "The Last Mist" won the award, the follow-up promotion of the two games could use the name of "Double Yolk Award" to do a wave of joint promotion.
But how could "Destroy the Alien Beast" surpass "The Last Mist" to win the award? No matter from which angle you judge it, it shouldn't be!
The more Gu Jianshen thought about it, the more absurd he felt. He unconsciously cast his eyes on the seats in the third row, and had a vague guess in his mind.
Ke Ming saw the indifference of the people around him, and his eyes were full of disdain—
Sure enough, with the backing of a big company, the one who plays the tune, thinks he's superior to others? But what's the use of complaining for YWY Studio?
The facts are a foregone conclusion!
Some people are doomed to just sit under the stage and watch helplessly, not worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
The moment this idea took shape, the award presenter diagonally in front announced the final shortlist!
"—Congratulations, ywy studio, the doomsday survival game "Fog of Doom" was shortlisted for the top three in the 8th Original Game Design Competition!"
The loud sound of the award ceremony was transmitted to every corner of the venue through the microphone, and it turned into a slap and slapped Ke Ming's face unexpectedly.
"..."
Ke Ming's face changed suddenly, and he stared at the list in the guest's hand in disbelief!
How is this possible?
Their game hit the money!
The sponsor, no, the review team doesn't consider the nature of this aspect?
With the announcement of the final award, the applause of approval reappeared, which was obviously more enthusiastic than when "Killing the Alien Beast" won the award.
"..."
Li Yu'an almost suspected that he had misheard his ears, so he hurriedly looked at Pei Yi beside him, and was so surprised that he forgot his friend's explanation at the beginning, and called him by his name.
"Pei, Pei Yi? Is it our studio?"
Pei Yi resisted the emotional fluctuations in her heart, and smiled back, "Yes, you heard it right."
This result was unexpected, because they and "Destroy the Alien Beast" did collide with the game category.
This result is reasonable again, because their "The Last Mist" has the conditions to win the award from the very beginning.
Pei Yi looked at her friend who was still being shocked by the surprise, and stood up, "I'll go up."
When Pei Yi passed by Deng Mufeng, who was sitting on the outside of the third row, he gestured politely. The other party's smile was a bit forced, obviously he didn't expect that he would not be able to get the last spot.
Pei Yi took the stage calmly and completed the award confirmation ceremony together with Gu Jianshen and Ke Ming.
Five minutes later, the three were ready to circle back from the backstage under the instructions of the staff.
"etc!"
As soon as Ke Ming avoided the sight of the relevant personnel, Ke Ming couldn't help shouting to stop.
He quickly walked around to Pei Yi, and vowed to ask, "No wonder you are so confident, it seems that you went through the back door?"
Otherwise, how could he also win the award?
When Gu Jianshen heard this, he immediately frowned and stopped, "Mr. Ke, please be careful! Your words are too disrespectful to Teacher Will!"
"fine."
Pei Yi and Gu Jianshen met their gazes, and there was something in their words, "Some people have dark eyes, so everything they see is dirty."
When I walked through the back door through my relationship, I suspected that everyone had a back door.
Pei Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and walked forward without any fear, "Since Mr. Ke doubts the result of the review, why don't the three of us apply for a retrial together?"
"I also think it's a pity that Mr. Deng's "Guan Canghai" didn't win the prize. It has to be returned to him."
"I'm OK."
Gu Jianshen was full of confidence. Although Xingyun Fun Tour was supported by big companies, they never engaged in such malicious competition!
Pei Yi mocked and forced him calmly, "People who rely on real strength are fine, Mr. Ke, don't you think so?"
"..."
Ke Ming heard Pei Yiming's blatant provocation, and his original complacency disappeared, but his face turned blue with anger again!
He knew that if he continued to speak here, he was afraid that it would attract people's eyes and ears, so he was speechless for a few seconds, so he could only forcefully throw out a sentence.
"Let's wait and see!"
As long as "Killing the Alien Beast" is the first to go online and occupy the market, he wants to see how popular "The Last Mist" can be?
Pei Yi stared at his back as he turned and left, and let out an inaudible sneer under the mask.
He, just wait for the other party to go online and then catch them all!
Gu Jianshen at the side saw it clearly, and asked in a low voice, "Will, is there any conflict between your studio and Mr. Ke?"
"Yeah, it's not a day or two."
Pei Yi took off the stuffy mask, and made a general statement, "Their animal-shaped image at the beginning plagiarized the previous works of our art director."
"This time I changed the name, but in fact the attribute settings of the protagonist group still copied the content of our "End Mist"."
Gu Jianshen recalled, "There are indeed many similarities. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I don't need it for the time being. If there is any need for Team Leader Gu's help in the future, I will definitely not be polite." Pei Yi replied simply, and also had her own plan—
He wanted Ke Ming to think that he had tasted the fruits of victory, and finally lost completely and fell to pieces!
"good."
Gu Jianshen glanced at the time, "Are you free today? The treat I said before, you and Mr. Li are here together, and it's a celebration of both of us being shortlisted for the award."
Pei Yi nodded, "Yes, but only at noon, we plan to return to the Imperial Capital in the afternoon."
Gu Jianshen was taken aback for a moment, "Hurry back in such a hurry?"
Before Pei Yiduo could explain, the phone in his pocket vibrated, and it was a call from Bo Yueming.
The smile on the corner of Pei Yi's mouth widened unconsciously, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Gu, I'll answer the phone."
"Please."
Gu Jianshen gave him room in a measured manner, and took the lead to leave.
Pei Yi quickly connected the phone, "Second Brother."
Bo Yueming's voice came, "Mr. Xiao Yi, congratulations."
"Why are you so well informed?" Pei Yi knew what his congratulations were for.
There is a certain little pride in his coda, "Second brother, am I amazing? Let me tell you, not only "The Last Mist", but even "Trace" is also my structure!"
"Is there anything that can hide it from me?" Bo Yueming was really proud and happy for his lover, but he couldn't stop thinking about it, "When will you come back?"
Pei Yi already planned to return, "Bo Dong, when do you want me to come back?"
Bo Yueming replied, "The sooner the better."
Pei Yi smiled back, "Then tonight, Liyuan and I booked a flight at 3:30 this afternoon yesterday."
They originally planned to go back tomorrow Friday, but after discussing it last night, they unanimously decided to go back early this afternoon, so that they can continue to return to the studio to supervise the project tomorrow.
Pei Yi glanced at the time on the phone, and started the countdown involuntarily in her heart.
His eyes drifted around twice, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he poked secretly through the phone, "Honey, are you coming to pick me up tonight? I miss you so much."
Bo Yueming was provoked by his few words so that his heart burned, and he responded seriously, "Of course, Mr. Xiao, I miss you too."
