This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 144 - 118: Advisor

"This place is nice..."

Before the gaming expo concluded, Chen Ba received an invitation from a mysterious figure to visit a newly constructed, unused large stadium.

The mysterious figure was interested in the GAL League.

To be precise, he saw the commercial value and influence of the GAL League, hoping to set one of its stations in Neon.

The GAL League has multiple stations.

As of now, Jiangning Station, Zhonghai Station, Peng City Station, Los Angeles Station, New York Station, Dubai Station, and London Station have been confirmed as seven stations.

Among them, the competitions at Jiangning Station, Zhonghai Station, and Peng City Station have concluded.

AMD is the champion of Jiangning Station, NVIDIA took dual titles at Zhonghai and Peng City Stations, further enhancing the event’s influence, making it a globally recognized "esports" brand.

The "Esports F1" slogan has become deeply ingrained, with more and more companies starting to sponsor and join the GAL League, turning this initially overlooked niche sports event into one favored by more cities.

In fact, during the Peng City Station event, Chen Ba received many calls from various city tourism departments.

The content of the calls was simple.

Everyone wanted their city to become a fixed station for the GAL League. And this required the approval of Chen Ba, the chairman of GAL.

Yes, chairman!

After the GAL League got on track, clubs gathered by Tianba Studio jointly formed GAL Sports Co., Ltd., specializing in matters related to the GAL League, including event hosting and broadcasting rights operations.

Chen Ba was appointed as chairman.

He had significant influence in the GAL League, and he made the decisions for the locations of the previous stations. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Neon can have one station."

Chen Ba felt no ripples inside; he knew that for the global operation of the GAL League, the Neon market couldn’t be abandoned.

Thus, having a GAL station in Neon was justifiable.

But dreaming of having two stations is pure fantasy. North America’s population is so large and its spending power so strong, yet it only has two GAL stations; what right does Neon have to two?

What?

You say Hua Country will have one or two more stations in the central and western regions besides the three confirmed ones?

Tianba Studio is a Hua Country enterprise, "Star Emperor" is a Hua Country game, and Chen Ba is from Hua Country, there’s no issue here!

What, not convinced?

If you’re not convinced, I suggest suppressing it, go ahead and create a new GAL League yourself and see if anyone pays attention to you.

From Chen Ba, knowing Neon would have a GAL station city, the mysterious figure was satisfied, immediately expressing full support for the GAL League hosting.

Then, as if he thought of something, he raised an interesting question.

"Can only PCs participate in the GAL League? Can gaming consoles join too?"

"Consoles?"

Hearing this, Chen Ba couldn’t help but glance at him, then smiled and asked, "Consoles’ hardware probably doesn’t support 8K extreme quality Extreme Sublimation, does it?"

"Current consoles on the market certainly don’t, but in terms of lab-grade stacked products, I think it could meet the conditions," the mysterious figure explained.

True!

The gaming consoles currently on sale, considering costs, generally have poor hardware compared to high-end personal PCs; the only advantage is being cheap and having many exclusive games.

If purely stacking materials without regard to cost, consoles could challenge PC. Given this, consoles joining the GAL League isn’t impossible.

Of course, this refers to PS and Xbox.

Switch is out of consideration, handhelds are limited by size and technology, even with stacking materials, it doesn’t improve much; joining GAL purely invites torment.

"I’ll think about it..."

Chen Ba didn’t immediately agree because the current GAL League teams seemed a bit numerous.

From what the mysterious figure implied, it seemed Sony and Microsoft, the two console giants, wanted to join GAL League for some fun.

Approval needs other teams’ opinions.

If everyone agrees to let console manufacturers in, they’d be allowed to join the GAL League. If everyone refuses to compete alongside gaming consoles, then this matter ends.

"They’ll definitely agree."

Leaving the stadium, rejoining with Yang Dong and Lu after returning to the exhibition hall, Yang Dong voiced his analysis.

"Console manufacturers joining the GAL League are essentially bottom-tier teams, even with black tech, probably wouldn’t achieve much."

"Having someone to cushion the bottom would make other teams only too happy; why would they refuse?" Yang Dong said with a smile.

"Makes sense."

Chen Ba thought so too; PS and Xbox representing console platforms in GAL League likely would just come for fun, expecting achievements was unrealistic.

Forget AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel, talking about teams like Daren Shuo, Desolate Rainbow, Shrinking Star, and Refused Protection Jia, they could probably beat the two console manufacturers till they couldn’t lift their heads.

If they want torment, let them come!

Unless Sony and Microsoft truly have incredible black tech and are willing to stack materials, otherwise the hardware gap between console and PC isn’t something to gloss over with words.

"By the way..."

After recounting recent happenings, Chen Ba then asked, "Did you see any interesting games after wandering around?"

"Yes!"

Lu excitedly said, "Lots of interesting games, including VR, AR games, and motion-sensing games..."

VR games? motion-sensing games?

Hearing these terms, Chen Ba also sparked interest, quickly asking Lu to lead him to see.

Sure enough!

This gaming expo not only showcased new games but also highlighted many new technologies and products applied to interactive entertainment.
