Seeing Zhou Yun sweating profusely across from him, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. This matter is not so easy to keep secret. It's a pleasant surprise to be able to achieve this level."

Zhou Yun sighed after hearing this: "If you were to ask who in this world is the most afraid of Naughty Cat getting into trouble, I would definitely be one of them. How could there be such an angelic boss?"

Indeed, the naughty cat is worthy of the word angel.

Sometimes Zhou Yun even doubted whether Naughty Cat was a gaming company or a technology company.

When it comes to various creative ideas, it is no worse than Genting Technology.

The key point is that these are not groundless, but have reasons to support them. Boss Lin, who is well-known in the gaming industry, is no worse than the people who are engaged in research and development and technology in related fields.

Therefore, because he had enough confidence in Lin Mo, he still had to act when facing the outside world, but he was not worried deep down.

It would be unjust if even a person like Boss Lin couldn't get over the difficulties.

Today's nervousness is because I am afraid that there will be some problems with confidentiality and that the leak will affect a series of subsequent events. That's why I am nervous.

Lin Mo nodded and said, "Then you have to keep an eye on the development of Switch. Without Naughty Cat, there may not be Naughty Dog anymore."

"Naughty Dog? That doesn't sound like a name that would make a good game."

After playing a joke that no one could understand, Lin Mo stretched himself, looked at everything that was ready, and said, "You are wrong. At least this company has produced good works to a certain extent. Come on, go back. Look how scared you are."

"Okay! Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I will never let you down."

Thinking about everything that can be achieved on the Switch and comparing it with other game consoles, even he, who doesn't play games, can't help but be excited.

Not to mention the players!

A few days later, it was the opening day of the Electronic Arts Prize.

This first-time award ceremony also had Jeff, a famous gaming industry journalist known to everyone in the industry.

The ceremony begins.

It didn't get much attention.

The timing of the opening ceremony this time in particular is not very friendly to the Western world, which are traditionally the main game consumption countries.

At these types of events, there is a charge for playing games.

And it’s by the second!

This time, the Electronic Arts Award was not attractive enough, so although there were many participating companies, the fees for screening films were not particularly expensive.

But not many people are willing to spend this money.

It can be said that it is a thankless task.

Even many people in the industry are wondering how this exhibition came to be.

Is there any mysterious financial sponsor behind this?

With many doubts and a lot of distrust, the Electronic Arts Award officially opened.

Although there are quite a few manufacturers participating, it is only slightly less than WGA.

But from the people sent by various manufacturers, we can see that there are actually not many people worthy of being on the stage.

Basically, it was the same method that Naughty Cat sent to other ceremonies in previous years. Some people from the company were randomly sent to receive the awards and add a brick to the honor room.

There was not much time left before the opening ceremony. Jeff took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, when I founded the WGA with a group of like-minded people, I was not as nervous as I am now."

Lin Mo pulled his collar a little uncomfortably and said, "To be honest, I am the same."

"You're not nervous because your clothes are tight. These are two completely different concepts."

"Yeah, too."

Lin Mo usually doesn't wear formal clothes, and Naughty Cat doesn't have any strict requirements on the attire of its workers.

So inside the company building, you can see the big boss wearing jeans and a hundred-dollar T-shirt, the female employees wearing JK mini skirts, and the male employees wearing T-shirts.

It's really rare to see people wearing formal attire like today.

Soon, the time came.

No matter how nervous you are, to use an inappropriate metaphor, it’s time for the ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law.

As Jeff walked onto the stage, the ceremony officially began!

At this moment, this scene was transmitted to thousands of households along with the signal.

[The style of the Electronic Arts Awards is so cool, is this cyberpunk style? Naughty Cat is really creating a trend]

[It is indeed a cyberpunk style. The Electronic Arts Award organizing committee has clearly stated that every year from now on, the venue will be decorated with the most popular game style of the year, presenting a brand new visual style.]

[It's very thoughtful, and this is in line with a gaming awards ceremony. I always felt that WGA was a bit too formal, like a classical music concert]

【I just wonder if there will be any surprises today? 】

"Surprise? Humph!" Freeman from the Lighthouse Nation snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you're thinking too much! Surprise? You must be kidding!"

It’s been a while since the WGA.

Freeman also has a bad temper.

Goodwill has been expressed, but there has never been a chance to have a direct conversation with the naughty cat.

Even the official account remained silent, reposting messages congratulating their own game for winning the WGA Game of the Year.

The ridicule from the outside world was small.

Doubting your own decisions is a big deal!

Freeman even doubted at one point, could Naughty Cat really have a way to overcome the difficulties?

impossible!

How can it be?

Why? What do you rely on?

At this time on the stage of the Electronic Arts Awards, Jeff said passionately:

“During this year, we encountered many wonderful works, many works that deserve to be recorded in history.

At the same time, there are many great ideas, even some that are enough to give birth to great game categories, although they are still young saplings.

The Electronic Arts Prize is only awarded to works of art that deserve to be remembered! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the stage fell into darkness.

The surround sound system produces a sound that only advanced players can understand.

It’s like when you were a kid and wanted to connect your game console to the TV so you could adjust the sound of the TV channels.

First, there is an old and magical melody, a BGM commonly used in the era of the Famicom. Following the sound, you can see a plane appear on the stage, flying through the barrage of enemy planes, defeating one enemy after another.

This is the childhood enlightenment game for many players in this world, "Time and Space Battlefield", a horizontal bullet-hell shooting game.

The scene not only has the sound of BGM, but also deliberately includes the voices of the participants.

You can hear bursts of exclamations.

Because this aircraft uses holographic projection technology.

Naughty Cat's exclusive technology!

Since its appearance in the Super Bowl, it has become a symbol for global sports events or activities to demonstrate their strength, representing the unparalleled financial strength of the owners behind them.

Very expensive. Quite expensive!

[Fuck! Jeff is indeed the one who can do this? How did he get the authorization from Naughty Cat? ]

[Naughty Cat fans are not afraid of problems with the company at all. With this technology, it is not a problem to support the company]

[If Naughty Cat wasn't so short of money recently, I would have suspected whether this was sponsored by Tao Linmo]

[Who knows? Naughty Cat couldn't stand the WGA's shady business, so he invested in Jeff to start his own gaming ceremony. Is that unusual?]

on the stage.

Careful people can find that this small plane is not static.

The calculated score in the corner also seems to be more than just the score the player gets when playing the game!

Represents the year!

As the score increases, the appearance of the small plane will change.

From the initial mosaic style, it gradually became high-definition, with more realistic details and movements.

The destroyed enemy planes also gradually changed their appearance.

Each one of them is a childhood symbol in the hearts of hardcore game fans!

For those who have obtained authorization, the classic symbols will appear. For those who have not obtained authorization, images and symbols that players can understand will be used to represent them.

The enemy plane destroyed in the previous moment was the one in "Time and Space Battlefield", and the next moment it was the classic witch BOSS image in the classic arcade game "Witch Action", and then the knight in the classic European and American RPG "Red Empire".

They are all excellent works that can be called works of art over the years.

Then, the BGM changed a bit and became very modern.

The small plane has become a common cool style in modern science fiction works, and the symbols representing classic games that were shot down also made a sound that made the audience cheer.

The fly-headed policeman of CT in CSGO!

Seeing this scene, countless viewers in front of the screen stood up.

Thinking of the owner of this technology, an unthinkable guess emerged in many people's minds.

Freeman's heart sank and he sat up straighter unnaturally.

Then, the ugly and cute zombies in Plants vs. Zombies, the Nergigante in Monster Hunter, and Adam's Hammer in Cyberpunk.

Familiar figures appeared one after another, making the assistant ask in confusion: "Could this Electronic Arts Award be sponsored by Naughty Cat, and the long-promoted mysterious guest be Lin Mo?"

"Use your words!!"

Freeman cursed angrily, somewhat dissatisfied with the assistant's ignorant reminder.

The next moment, more and more game characters, including those from Naughty Cat and other manufacturers, appeared and surrounded the plane.

There was an explosion and the stage fell silent.

A game-over UI and a player's depressed muttering appeared on the stage.

Move the cursor to the restart button and click OK.

In an instant, the lights on the stage came on again.

Looking at the stage again, where is Jeff?

The person standing there is tonight's mysterious guest, the heavyweight mysterious guest that the Video Game Awards organizing committee has kept secret for a long time.

Lin Mo!

Even though Freeman had a vague guess, he still couldn't help but get furious when he saw Lin Mo really appear.

No wonder. No wonder!

They can’t be contacted no matter what they do, they don’t care about the goodwill of the WGA, and they refuse to have direct dialogue.

Feelings have long tied the company to Jeff's video game award.

"Damn it, you're going to regret this, you're definitely going to regret this! I was able to push Jeff away the first time, so I can beat him the second time! You want to make a comeback with the video game award? That's just wishful thinking!"

The young assistant shrank his head when he heard the boss's angry scolding.

It’s better not to speak at this time.

The barrage also exploded.

[Fuck!!! Is that true? Anyone who doubted me just now, apologize! Apologize now!]

[Awesome! Naughty Cat is still sponsoring the Video Game Awards despite this? They are going to announce something big! ]

[I told you, if it wasn’t Naughty Cat’s sponsorship, how could Jeff get so many Naughty Cat game image licenses?]

[Interesting, this ceremony suddenly became more interesting]

As soon as they realized something was wrong, the popularity of the video game award live broadcast rooms in various countries suddenly exploded.

Basically, players who click in to watch have no reason to leave.

Many people are curious about such a trendy opening that is close to the theme of electronic games and such an important guest.

What exactly does Naughty Cat plan to bring?

At this time, Lin Mo looked at his colleagues who were all very surprised in the audience and made a polite opening remark.

“Video games have gone through decades of development and have reached their current peak. I am very happy to be the presenter of the first Electronic Arts Awards and to present the awards to this year’s most important works. It is my honor.

In each subsequent year, the Electronic Arts Awards will invite game developers who have made outstanding contributions to the industry to present awards for the year’s outstanding works. We hope to carry on the legacy and pass on the glory of the ninth art form.”

These words made many retired game developers who are still paying attention to the industry excited.

Some people like money, some like sex, and some like fame.

Many star producers and many large companies with a long history each have their own reasons.

If I could have another chance to go on stage and present awards, I could let the names of my past works be known and accepted by the new players today.

Few people would refuse.

What an honor!

Even though Naughty Cat has disappeared, there is no doubt that Lin Mo's name will be engraved in the history of video games.

If I can be invited to the stage to present awards later, doesn’t it mean that I will be recognized as having the same status as Lin Mo and Naughty Cat?

Seeing this, Freeman understood.

There was a moment of gnashing of teeth.

Why can the Electronic Arts Prize obtain the authorization of so many classic works?

This is binding interests!

You can also get a glimpse of it from the barrage.

[This should have been done a long time ago. The WGA has become a crappy award that is given out for money.]

[Interesting, is this Naughty Cat's response to WGA? As expected, with Lin Mo's temper, he will not go along with WGA]

[This is interesting. Lin Mo and Naughty Cat are the award presenters. Does Naughty Cat's winning the game count as praising itself? ]

[How stupid! This is clearly sending a special signal. Naughty Cats does not need awards to reflect its value. On the contrary, the award ceremony needs Naughty Cats to prove its value! ]

[Indeed, Naughty Cat has fallen from grace since then. The meaning of this name is enough to set up an independent award ceremony to judge the quality of games.]

At this point, it wasn't just Freeman.

Whether it was Soni or Juying, whether it was Baofeng Entertainment or Electronic Arts, they all noticed that something was wrong with this ceremony.

This opening makes one thing clear.

Today is more than just an awards ceremony.

There are some big events happening!

Open your eyes.

As for what the big deal is, is there anything bigger than the two major console manufacturers tacitly banning the Naughty Cat game?
