#272 - Mengshentan e-sports league is launched, VR game console is developed (2 in 1 order required)
Tian Wu was initially focused on watching the awards ceremony, but now his gaze gradually became dull.
His expression changed from calm to distorted, his brow furrowed, clearly in a very bad mood.
His hands clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if enduring immense pressure.
Well done, Peach Garden! (桃源乡: Peach Garden)
He now belatedly realized that the reason Peach Garden sent Wan Xiaotong, this chuunibyou girl, to give the speech was to specifically mock him!
Think about it, a project with such a high degree of completion could not have been accomplished by someone like Wan Xiaotong!
The so-called making games while playing is even more of a fantasy!
He suddenly looked up at the awards stage, his eyes full of unwillingness.
His fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair, making dull sounds, his face turning red, torn apart by intense emotions.
The employees sitting around him subconsciously moved away from him.
Now, no one would want to cross him.
...
At this moment, Wan Jia, who was sitting not far from him, also had his eyes wide open, completely unable to believe the scene before him.
What's the situation?
Isn't that foolish chuunibyou sister of mine on stage!
With a 'plop', the phone in his hand fell directly to the ground.
Wan Jia suddenly jumped up from his seat, almost knocking the chair over.
He let out a low cry of disbelief: "What... what's going on?"
First of all!
Didn't my sister join an obscure small workshop? How did she suddenly become the producer of Peach Garden?
He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, feeling that everything before him was just an illusion.
Secondly!
He couldn't believe that Wan Xiaotong had won the championship.
His mouth was open in an "O" shape, and he didn't close it for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly reacted.
Could it be that the reason my sister achieved such great success was all because of Peach Garden's training over the past few months?
A game company actually has such ability to train my sister, who everyone was helpless with, into a genius producer?!
Wan Jia's expression became complicated.
He glanced again at the producer Tian Wu, who was furious and might take his anger out on others at any moment.
The filter of dreams and beliefs about Mile You, which had existed since his university days, completely shattered at this moment.
At this moment, he decided to resign and submit his resume to Peach Garden.
...
Jianghai City, Jiangdong District, Wan Wuyai's apartment.
At this time, Wan Wuyai was watching the Tianzun Cup awards live broadcast in front of the TV.
Today, he just returned from Cat's Tea, snatching Kemeng and Linghua's two catgirl pillows with a group of young people.
After snatching a bunch of catgirl merchandise, he originally wanted to buy a ticket to the Tianzun Cup awards ceremony, but this old bone was really too tired to move.
As a result, as soon as he picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, he saw Wan Xiaotong receiving the Tianzun Cup championship trophy from Jiang Qingfeng.
His expression was as if he had seen an alien, his eyes widened sharply, almost falling out of their sockets.
Wan Wuyai subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and looked again, and it was indeed his precious granddaughter, the names matched!
"Ah this... ah er... huff huff huff..."
His heartbeat echoed in his ears, watching as it was about to jump out of his chest.
Because of being too excited and shocked, his blood pressure began to soar, he quickly patted his chest hard, desperately took a deep breath, and lay on the sofa for a while before recovering.
"Good fellow, watching a live broadcast almost sent this old man away..."
Gradually accepting the reality, he began to understand.
No wonder, in the past few days, when he called his granddaughter, she always asked him about some details of action game development.
It turned out that she was really making an action game!
At this time, Wan Xiaotong in the TV was just giving her acceptance speech, thanking her grandfather for providing guidance.
"Xiaotong has grown up, she is sensible, Grandpa is very happy, very happy."
Tears flickered in Wan Wuyai's eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and his excitement was beyond words.
His cloudy old eyes stared at the TV screen, as if afraid of missing any moment.
At the same time, he silently opened the shopping software and the anime forum on his mobile phone.
Enough said, I'm going to search online for news about limited edition slime girl and blue and white princess figures!
From today onwards, he is an even more staunch Peach Guard! (桃卫兵: Peach Guard)
Which ignorant person in the game media dares to write negative articles about Peach Garden again, I, Dongbian Wuyai, will never let them get away with it!
...
After the award ceremony, Jiang Qingfeng, as the chairman of the organizing committee, announced in a high-profile manner that the organizing committee will provide various support for Peach Garden's (桃源乡: Peach Garden) "Meng Shentan E-sports League" (萌神坛电竞联赛: Meng Shentan E-sports League).
The various support measures are as follows:
Funding Support: The organizing committee sponsors a generous prize pool to attract more top e-sports teams and players to participate in the competition.
Venue Support: Using the organizing committee's connections, provide various competition venues, free or discounted rentals, to ensure the quality and safety of the competition venues. Even venues like the Bird's Nest in the capital are not a problem.
Event Promotion: Through the influence of the Tianzun Cup, increase the promotion of the "Meng Shentan" (萌神坛: Meng Shentan), and increase the event's popularity.
Sponsorship Cooperation: Assist the "Meng Shentan League" (萌神坛联赛: Meng Shentan League) in establishing cooperative relationships with sponsors inside and outside the industry to obtain more sponsorship resources.
Campus Support: Cooperate with schools to promote the "Meng Shentan League" (萌神坛联赛: Meng Shentan League) as an important part of campus e-sports activities, such as regularly holding college student leagues.
Other exhibitors saw such strong resource support and gnashed their teeth in envy.
Especially Mile You!
Originally, they planned to take advantage of the Tianzun Cup to hold their own Honkai 3 (崩裂3: Honkai 3) fighting competition.
As a result, they ended up empty-handed!
Although to the outside world, this resource support is too exaggerated, Jiang Qingfeng knows that this is a win-win situation.
Because Meng Shentan has two kinds of competitiveness, the first is the competitiveness of the battle itself, and the second is the competitiveness of the moe girls selling moe, so the highlights of the game are quite rich.
If any other manufacturer's game had won the championship today, he would not have invested so heavily.
These news were announced simultaneously on Weibo, and soon caused a strong reaction.
The organizer of the Tianzun Cup is the China Game Industry Association, and major e-sports clubs have given face and made their voices heard on Weibo.
[Glory E-sports Club NRG]
#NRG Fully Supports Meng Shentan# Thank you Peach Garden for bringing such a wonderful product to the e-sports industry! NRG will fully prepare, championship trophy, we are waiting for you!
[Phoenix E-sports Club PFX]
#PFX Team Joins Meng Shentan# In this era of moe girls, we decided to join the "Meng Shentan E-sports League" (萌神坛电竞联赛: Meng Shentan E-sports League) to inject more vitality into the e-sports world!
[Eternal E-sports Club DEG]
#DEG Team Is Unstoppable# We are pleased to announce that our club will participate in the "Meng Shentan League" (萌神坛联赛: Meng Shentan League), fight for honor, and embark on a new cute journey!
After that, more e-sports clubs officially announced their joining:
Bilibili Danmu Network E-sports Club DLG
Laoganma Official E-sports Club LGM...
Tenghui and Youyi also announced that their e-sports clubs THG and YYG will join the Meng Shentan League.
After all, although Tenghui and Youyi are competitors of Peach Garden in business, they will still cooperate where there is profit to be made, which is the norm in the business community.
On Weibo, there are also experts in the e-sports industry who are analyzing:
"If the game "Hyperdimensional Moe Girl" (超时空萌娘: Hyperdimensional Moe Girl) is to be used for e-sports, I think everyone needs to understand that
This is not a MOBA game. The quality of the moe girls themselves, as well as the combination of top-quality equipment and top-quality skill books, are the key.
If you have to make an analogy, I think the Meng Shentan League is very similar to the Martial God Altar inter-server league of Fantasy Westward Journey, rather than the League of Legends professional league.
There is a big difference between the two.
How much success each club can achieve depends entirely on their understanding of the game and the resources they can invest in the game."
Below are player comments:
1st floor: "If this is the case, then ordinary players have no way to make a name for themselves in professional leagues."
2nd floor: "You're overthinking it. You can start a live broadcast and play. As long as you play well, there will definitely be club scouts to dig you up."
3rd floor: "I think there is still a difference from Fantasy Westward Journey, because that game is also turn-based, so it all depends on your account's equipment, pets, and skill points. Whales can crush you with stats."
4th floor reply:
"Indeed, if you have watched the live broadcasts of the Tianzun Cup in the past few days, especially the wonderful dojo match between Xiaoyu and Barbara, you will realize that "Hyperdimensional Moe Girl" (超时空萌娘: Hyperdimensional Moe Girl) is an action game, and the operation area is much larger than the numerical area,
What's more, the player's operating level only accounts for half of the score, and there is also a game mechanism with very high viewing and off-court factors such as selling moe. I think if the league is operated well, it will be more interesting than the Martial God Altar.
Maybe there will be many professional moe fighters from the people."
Game self-media Huolang posted on Weibo:
"Old Wolf thinks that regarding the news about Meng Shentan, it is useless for everyone to guess now. It depends on how Peach Garden officially makes the multiplayer online part of "Hyperdimensional Moe Girl" (超时空萌娘: Hyperdimensional Moe Girl) and the competition system of Meng Shentan.
I hope there will be a game store similar to Zangbaoge that allows players to trade with each other, so that many casual players can earn some extra money every month."
Downstairs reply:
"Zangbaoge can be released, but how to crack down on studios is a problem.
In short, it depends on the official's follow-up actions. If it operates well, its position in the Chinese online game market will definitely be no less than Fantasy Westward Journey and Dragon World."
2nd floor reply:
"Hey, I always feel that based on the game concept of "everything can be moe", the gameplay depth of this game is too deep, and it is impossible to form a so-called fixed routine and gameplay. It would be great if the official could personally demonstrate how to play e-sports."
3rd floor reply:
"Heh, although Peach Garden officials cannot personally participate as the league organizer, I think the boss of Peach Garden should invest in small clubs and pretend to be weak."
4th floor: "Interesting, continue to love and kill each other with old rivals Tenghui and Youyi in the e-sports arena?"
5th floor: "Damn, if that's the case, the league will be too interesting, looking forward to it!"
In the heated discussion on the entire network, everyone's expectations for the excitement of the Meng Shentan League have risen to a new height!
...
After the Tianzun Cup awards ceremony, the last event of this Tianzun Cup was the Game Hardware Development Summit Forum.
At this summit forum, experts from the scientific and business communities introduced the latest VR technology development trends and new technologies in the world:
Deep Integration of Brain-Computer Interface: In recent years, brain-computer interface technology has developed rapidly, which can realize a deeper interaction between the human brain and the virtual world.
The latest novel is first published on Six Nine Books Bar!
Perception Feedback Technology: Further development of biosensor technology to achieve real-time perception of the user's physiological state and make corresponding adjustments. For example, virtual haptic technology can achieve haptic feedback comparable to real objects.
Integration of Virtual Reality and Real Environment: With the help of AR technology, the perfect integration of virtual and real environments can be realized to create a richer experience.
Retinal Projection Technology: Develop more lightweight retinal projection equipment to improve the user's wearing experience.
Virtual Reality Gesture Control: Further improve gesture control technology, so that users can operate more freely in the virtual environment.
...
The audience watched the introduction of various new cutting-edge technologies in amazement. Lu Yu discovered that the speed of technological explosion in this world is much faster than in the world he was in before.
Moore's Law has long been broken, which shows that graphics chips and virtual reality are developing faster than in the previous life.
Just right, the next round of system tasks is to make a VR-themed game, and there is also a Qiyuan task requirement to expand the team to 300 people.
At this moment, Lu Yu silently decided to find a way to acquire a VR hardware development team and develop a VR game console from scratch that specifically serves Peach Garden players.
The reason why he wants to acquire a hardware team is very simple. If it is just brand cooperation, then the level of VR equipment will not be under his control at all. In order to be worthy of other investors, those hardware teams will definitely work hard.
It is precisely because technology is developing too fast that the possibility of making a hit product is also amplified!
However, if the team is under his control, then he can lead them to lie flat and make a sufficiently mediocre product.
Whatever cutting-edge technology, he has to do the opposite!
Anyway, the purpose of him hiring these people is just to earn leisure points.
He is really a genius!
Thinking of this with satisfaction, he suddenly thought of someone.
Since returning from his trip to Xishuangbanna, he has not yet used Xia Shangyu, this ace headhunter.
If you let this ace headhunter find mediocre startup teams on the verge of bankruptcy in the industry, it will definitely be accurate.
In the days after the Tianzun Cup ended,
Soon, major domestic game manufacturers announced that they would enter the VR game field in a high-profile manner.
After all, this is a blue ocean market waiting to be developed, containing infinite possibilities.
As long as you are on the wind, even pigs can fly!
...
Shenzhen, Liu's Group headquarters building.
Liu Lan took a deep breath and closed the live broadcast screen of the Tianzun Cup.
To her surprise, Peach Garden won the Tianzun Cup again with a record-breaking result!
Youyi Corporation not winning the Celestial Honor Cup was entirely within her expectations. After all, they were just there to humor the industry association and play the role of the underdog.
However, she never expected that MileYou, on whom she had placed high hopes, would lose so miserably.
She lit a cigarette, narrowed her eyes slightly, and exhaled a series of smoke rings.
She recalled the scene from the live broadcast earlier, where Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan were sitting intimately together.
"Young man, although your company is doing quite well now, if you want to become a son-in-law of the Liu family, I'm afraid the trials you'll have to face will be far more difficult than this Celestial Honor Cup."
Peach Garden Township is still too small and not on the same level as the behemoth that is the Liu Group.
According to the education Liu Lan received from childhood, in her understanding, without family inheritance, relying solely on personal struggle is probably the limit for ordinary people.
To achieve a match that is equal to the Liu family is still too difficult.
However, Liu Lan is not in a hurry to completely crush or acquire him right now.
Keeping him around as an observation sample isn't bad either, because now, she has developed a slight interest in this young man, Lu Yu.
She glanced at the "Carefree Mouth Cannon Life" game on her computer.
Next time I have the chance, I'll team up with Yuanyuan and this man for a game, so I can probe his intentions and character.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Liu Lan turned her attention to another matter:
The field of smart wearable devices is a new industry trend.
Not only can they be used for VR games, but also in daily life, travel, shopping, and entertainment.
Especially for the Liu Group, which already has deep involvement in these areas.
The Liu Group is determined to win this arms race for the VR device market!
......
Jianghai City, Jiangdong District, Chaoyang Real Estate Group, Chairman's office.
Chairman Huang Shiyi was rubbing his brow with a hand adorned with gold rings.
Recently, his precious daughter seemed a little depressed, locking herself in her room every day and eating less, which worried him greatly.
So, he summoned the personal female housekeeper who attended to his daughter to inquire.
The female housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then guessed:
"Chairman, I suspect it might be because Miss was bullied a few days ago when she celebrated her birthday with her boyfriend."
"What happened?" Huang Shiyi frowned sharply.
"I only heard about it..."
So, the female housekeeper recounted in detail how Huang Shiyi's daughter and her boyfriend Tianwu had dinner at the Pretty Paris restaurant on her birthday, had a conflict with Lu Yu, Liu Mengyuan, and others, and were driven away by the manager of the Liu's Commercial Plaza.
The female housekeeper added at the end: "That manager even made a harsh remark, saying..."
"What harsh remark? What did he say?"
The housekeeper hesitated, her lips moving as if she didn't know how to speak.
"Stop dawdling, spit it out!"
The female housekeeper had no choice but to imitate the manager's tone:
"Who does that Huang think he is? Stop trying to scare me, if he makes me unhappy, I'll turn his 'Chaoyang Real Estate' into a 'Sunset Cemetery'!"
Huang Shiyi's face turned ashen.
"Damn it, this is outrageous, the Liu Group is going too far!
Liu Lan, have you been in the business world for so many years, don't you understand the principle that a mighty dragon can't suppress a local snake?
If you can't discipline your daughter, I'll have someone discipline her for you!"
He immediately dialed a mobile phone number.
......
Longteng Group, Jianghai City Branch, General Manager's office.
This office adopts an extremely luxurious decoration style, with high-grade wooden floors and top-quality wool carpets. Exquisite works of art are placed in every corner of the office, including paintings, porcelain, and sculptures by famous artists. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the view of the Red Pu River.
Longteng Group is a super behemoth ranking first among private enterprises in China, with businesses covering various cutting-edge fields, mainly focusing on the energy sector.
Its total market value in the world's stock markets exceeds 1.2 trillion, ranking 8th in the global top 500.
At the same time, Longteng Group is also a family business, monopolized by the Pei family.
At this time, sitting at the executive chair is Pei Shengnan, the general manager of the branch. He is the eldest son of the Pei family and is currently being arranged by the family board of directors to train at the Jianghai City branch.
Seeing Huang Shiyi's call, Pei Shengnan muttered a couple of times and answered the phone.
Hearing the phone connect, Huang Shiyi began to sob and wail:
"In-law, the Liu family is bullying me too much, you must stand up for me."
