#271 - After winning the championship, Wan Xiaotong's speech broke the industry's defense
"Wow, this ending is so touching, it made me cry! The bond between the siblings is just too beautiful!"
"Eve really has always deeply loved her brother QAQ"
"From the initial time travel to the mecha-girl resistance, the ancient fairy tribes, and the time-space vortex, this game is simply a sci-fi extravaganza! The story is so cleverly arranged!"
"Accompanying the streamer through these past few days of the Celestial Tournament, I'm filled with emotions. It's like truly accompanying the characters in the story through a journey, making me both laugh and cry."
"The game's graphics and art modeling are amazing, especially the interactions between Xiaoyu and the moe girls. It feels like being right there."
"I'm simping for the slime girl!"
"I want to take the fire dragon girl and the spider girl home!"
"The final scene of challenging Eve was so epic! The boss battle's presentation and skill design are top-notch!"
……
The live broadcast room's popularity continued to soar to a record-breaking 17 million.
And on the Peach Blossom Spring Virtual World gaming platform, the client downloads for "Chrono Moe Girls" exceeded 8 million copies!
The official Chrono Moe Girls Weibo quickly announced the game's monetization model:
The game content leading up to the 1.0 version's ending, which is all the content up to the point where the protagonist defeats Eve in the time-space vortex, is completely free to play, without any charges!
After clearing the main storyline 1.0 ending, the game will charge a monthly subscription of 30 yuan. During the subscription period, players can enjoy the game without restrictions.
In addition, the game does not have any paid items. All rare game items must be obtained by players themselves through the game!
This news caused an instant uproar in the player community.
Several hashtags related to Chrono Moe Girls quickly topped the trending charts on the Celestial Tournament supertopic.

Many players commented under these topics:
"Seriously, I was just discussing with my friend how the game's quality and freedom are so ridiculously good, I was afraid they'd open an item shop selling all sorts of god crystals. I didn't expect they'd still just charge a monthly subscription!"
"Can a 30 yuan monthly subscription even cover the game's development costs? I'm a little worried Peach Blossom Land is going to starve."
"Peach Blossom Land, I'm so touched, I could cry!"
……
Many game media outlets at the Celestial Tournament also quickly wrote various reports:
Game Frontline:
"The Engine Effects of Chrono Moe Girls Shock the Industry"
"Whether it's the next-gen cartoon-rendered open world or the lifelike moe girls, it's enough to prove that the artistic effects of the Peach Origin Creation Engine have reached a new height.
At the same time, the game's self-consistent wilderness ecosystem also shows that Peach Blossom Land's engine and AI technology have also reached new heights!"
Game Vanguard:
"Chrono Moe Girls: Re-examining the Depth of Moe Girl Development"
"Based on the concept that everything can be moe-ified, the depth of development in Chrono Moe Girls is infinitely amplified."
"First of all, the sources of moe girls are ever-changing. You can use almost any item in the game to moe-ify and create your own unique moe girl. Moreover, moe girls also have numerical potential like 'Moe Power Value' and 'Moe Factor,' as well as skill potential, which greatly increases the fun of development."
"I can't wait to try more development ideas in the game world!"
Bonfire Camp:
"What Story Does Chrono Moe Girls Tell?"
"Beneath the fantasy and sci-fi veneer of time travel, what story does Peach Blossom Land want to tell us?"
"This is an ensemble drama performed by various groups of people living in a world on the verge of destruction: the war between the Cecil Kingdom and the magical beasts, the conflict between the humans of the Celestial Federation and the mecha-girl resistance, the conflict between the Griffin Kingdom of the Tama Tree Sea and the fairy tribes…"
"First of all, in this story, there are no absolute villains. The motivation of each villain is the choice they are forced to make for their own survival and strength, which is the most fascinating thing about this story!"
"After playing this game, I can't help but think about the relationship between humans and androids, the concept of time and history, and where we are going."
"Of course, beneath these story layers, the core of the game's story is still [Love that transcends time and space].
Xiaoyu's family of four is scattered in different eras, and even the youngest daughter is completely trapped in the time-space vortex. But they are still thinking of each other, and they also met kind women like Jessica.
Cherish the present, that's what Peach Blossom Land wants to tell us."
……
The fifth day of the Celestial Tournament, the last day, is about to hold the final vote counting and awards ceremony.
On this day, the venue of Celestial Tournament Hall 1 was packed, gathering tens of thousands of guests from inside and outside the game industry.
Reporters from various media outlets were packed like sardines, crowding the aisles on both sides.
Click! Click! Click!
The flashes of various cameras rose and fell, and the scene was noisy!
Jiang Qingfeng, chairman of the Celestial Tournament Organizing Committee, sitting on the rostrum, cleared his throat to signal everyone to be quiet, and then smiled:
"Our player voting session has ended.
The player vote counting session is over. This year's Celestial Tournament received a total of 15 million valid player votes.
Chrono Moe Girls received 12 million of those votes.
Senran Kagura and Samurai Shodown each received 1 million votes.
The remaining participating game companies received the final 1 million votes."
Seeing such an exaggerated vote count, the on-site public opinion was instantly in an uproar!
At this time, in the official live broadcast room of the Celestial Tournament Organizing Committee, tens of thousands of players were watching the live broadcast, and the barrage was enthusiastically spamming:
"Peach Blossom Land is awesome, this vote count is well deserved!"
"Although I could have guessed that Peach Blossom Land would get first place, I didn't expect it to lead by so many votes."
"There's no way around it. Apart from the foreign games participating, in this year's Celestial Tournament, only Peach Blossom Land's game can be called a next-generation flagship masterpiece."
"I initially thought Honkai Impact 3 had the best chance of taking first place, but after seeing the works of the foreign participating companies, I felt a little uneasy, thinking that if a game competition hosted in our own China was won by the Japanese or Koreans, wouldn't that be depressing?
Fortunately, Peach Blossom Land is awesome, standing up!"
Jiang Qingfeng had the same idea as the audience in the live broadcast room, so he looked at the several judges on his left and right and continued to smile:
"So, according to the rules, I will also announce the vote counting results of the judging committee.
There are a total of 9 expert judges in this year's Celestial Tournament, and we unanimously decided to cast all our votes for Chrono Moe Girls."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue burst into an uproar!
The players cheered, applause like a tide, instantly forming a deafening atmosphere.
Such an exaggerated vote count is quite rare even in the history of the entire Celestial Tournament!
The barrage was spammed, and various emoticons and barrages poured in madly:
"The championship belongs to Peach Blossom Land!"
"Peach Blossom Land! Peach Blossom Land! Peach Blossom Land!"
"Dominance! Celestial! Peach Blossom Land is the best!"
"Chrono Moe Girls definitely deserves to be called a masterpiece, come at me if you disagree!"
Offstage, industry media and colleagues also stood up and applauded the result.
Foreign game exhibitors also stood up and applauded, these days, they have also been playing Chrono Moe Girls, and they are convinced by this result.
At this time, the project team members sitting offstage cheered excitedly, hugging each other, and everyone's eyes were moist with tears.
What is the greatest glory for a game developer?
It is that players like the game they made, and that the professional judging panel adds honor to their work!
In this highly competitive game industry, new game companies are born every day, and game companies that can't hold on close down.
Many game developers, throughout their decades of career, are just constantly doing one flop project after another.
Being able to win the championship of such a heavyweight event as the Celestial Tournament is a dream that they can only hope for but not reach.
Even before joining Peach Blossom Land, they were repeatedly frustrated in the workplace, almost losing confidence, and they also felt that these were just daydreams.
And today, all the dreams have come true!
On the rostrum, Jiang Qingfeng smiled as he watched all this. He knew that the Peach Blossom Land team's hard work had paid off.
After the atmosphere calmed down slightly, he continued to smile:
"Next, let us invite the producer of Chrono Moe Girls, representing Peach Blossom Land Company, to come to the stage to receive the Celestial Tournament trophy and prize money, and deliver an acceptance speech."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the players, practitioners, and media at the scene turned to the seat of Peach Blossom Land.
They were all quite curious, what kind of expert could lead the team to create such a flagship work?!
In fact, many game companies' headhunters were already eager to make a move, planning to poach this big shot later.
Wan Xiaotong was in a daze at this time, and Liu Mengyuan next to her quickly nudged her elbow:
The most up-to-date novels are first published on 69shu.com!
"Xiaotong, go on stage to receive the award!"
Wan Xiaotong then stood up under the public's gaze and walked towards the rostrum.
When they saw the face of this producer, the tens of thousands of people at the scene were once again in an uproar!
Such a wonderful work actually came from the hands of a girl wearing a gothic lolita dress?!
This, looks too young, seems to be this year's graduate?!
Are the current graduates all monsters?
Although, she looks a little not-so-smart... but geniuses are lonely, maybe this is just another manifestation of genius.
Wan Xiaotong stood in the center of the award platform under the spotlight, and the spotlights at the scene were all focused on her.
But her eyes were still in a chuunibyou daze, seemingly not yet clear on the situation, a little confused.
Seeing that it was such a young face that was fighting for the glory of China's game industry, Jiang Qingfeng sighed: "The younger generation is to be feared."
He stood up with a kind face and handed the Celestial Tournament trophy and the 10 million yuan prize check to Peach Blossom Land Company into her hands.
When it came to the speech, Wan Xiaotong looked around the audience blankly and said嬌聲:
"At that time, I was feasting on the Glutton in another world, traveling far and singing. This adventure is really a situation beyond the invisible boundary."
After saying this, the audience fell silent.
Wh-what's going on, I can't understand a single word this girl is saying?
What is this new type of performance art?
At this time, the Peach Blossom Land employees offstage helplessly supported their foreheads.
The exclusive translator Xu Qin quickly ran to the podium in three steps and said:
"It's like this, our producer, her speech is a bit... uh, out there, please allow me to translate for everyone, what Miss Wan means is——
I was recently traveling everywhere, eating hot pot and singing, how did I become the Celestial Tournament champion while playing?"
As soon as Xu Qin's words fell, the listeners offstage were completely broken!
Especially those manufacturers who were competitors, their faces turned liver-colored.
They felt that these words were like a knife, piercing through their bodies.
Many producers bitterly curled the corners of their mouths.
In order to make a hit game, they couldn't wait to use their employees as livestock, constantly squeezing them to work overtime like crazy, and constantly compressing their rest time.
If they don't exhaust a few employees every month and send them to the emergency room, these producers feel that they have not fulfilled their management responsibilities.
However, they have already rolled to this point of vomiting blood, and they still have no hope of winning the championship,
And this producer actually said that she played her way to the championship!
Versailles!
The highest level of Versailles!
Many game media who had interviewed Lu Yu before also sighed in their hearts:
In the past, when they interviewed President Lu, President Lu liked to say similar things to reporters.
It seems that Versailles is also the corporate culture of Peach Blossom Land?!
Perhaps seeing that Wan Xiaotong only said one sentence, Jiang Qingfeng smiled kindly and said:
"Producer, do you have any other experiences to share with the vast number of industry peers?
For example, in the process of leading the team to make the game, what methodologies and team management experience do you have?
How did you complete those whimsical ideas in the game?"
After Wan Xiaotong spoke, Xu Qin continued to translate her answer:
"I am very relaxed at work in the company, basically in a free-range state for the team. After all, I just do it casually, so what position do I have to ask others?
Oh, if I have to say it, I also want to thank my family, especially my grandfather. When making the action system of this game, I listened to a lot of his old man's suggestions."
The listeners offstage marveled.
Look, look, this producer is so young, she is a genius.
These words must be Versailles again, it's almost like saying, "We made a hit while lying down!"
As for asking the family, it doesn't count, it is estimated that this miss's grandfather is a retired old man who is idle at home, he knows a fart about action games, it is all this miss's Versailles fooling people.
But they can't refute anything in person, after all, people really made a hit!
Thinking of these, they were even more helpless: Hey, so angry!
Seeing Wan Xiaotong's humblebrag, the employees of Peach Blossom Village sitting in the audience felt relaxed and happy.
Nice! Well done, Miss Wan!
[The employees of Peach Blossom Village feel delighted by Wan Xiaotong's humblebrag, gaining +800 to their leisure points.]
At this moment, Lu Yu, who saw the system's light screen, was equally dumbfounded.
Humblebrag? What humblebrag?
Wasn't Wan Xiaotong telling the truth?
From Lu Yu's perspective, this game, "Hyperdimensional Moe Girls," was indeed created while just playing around!
This was the most puzzling and bewildering thing for him!
His bewilderment wasn't any less than that of the other companies present!
During the previous settlement cycle, to prevent these little try-hards from overworking again, he took everyone to the rainforest to fight elephants, to villages for feasts, and to cat cafes to play with cats.
He had tried his best to get everyone to relax and not focus on work, even making the cat-petting policy take up as much work time as possible.
Originally, he thought that with these multiple layers of insurance measures in place, everything would be completely stable!
Who would have thought that these little try-hards would still make the game so fun and successful!
Moreover, what made him even more depressed was that,
Originally, his relaxation measures from the previous cycle couldn't be said to be completely useless, because the delays in the project did result in a large number of unfinished tasks and bugs, which also led to Peach Blossom Village's delay in participating in the Celestial Tournament.
Who would have thought that during the live broadcast, these bugs seemed to unexpectedly become part of the game's mechanics and gameplay,
and even seemed to make the gameplay and story of "Hyperdimensional Moe Girls" more exciting as a result?!
Who would believe this if you told them? It's as if the artificial intelligence had a soul and would actively help the project fix bugs.
But when he thought about it with common sense, that was impossible!
Even if that was the case, his purpose in participating in the Celestial Tournament was to help Mile Games' "Rupture 3" stand up and challenge Peach Blossom Village, so that his own employees would realize that there is always someone better and give up internal competition.
Who would have thought that Mile Games would be so weak!
Mile Games, what exactly are you doing? I had high hopes for you!
In the previous life, you were so awesome, how could you directly wither in this parallel world?
Lu Yu glanced resentfully at Mile Games' seating area.
This scene happened to be seen by Tian Wu, the producer of "Rupture 3."
Tian Wu was already in a state of extreme disappointment, and seeing Lu Yu glance at him indifferently, he instantly broke down in his heart:
This kid is definitely showing off to me!
