Otherworldly Architect

Even if it takes the FTL channel, the spacecraft is expected to take about 50 hours to reach its destination.

During this period, the entertainment facilities above suddenly seemed precious.

Lan Xing and his group were trembling at first, not daring to touch the luxury equipment that they could not understand, but they gradually let go.

Because after all, Xia Cheng was still the Xia Cheng they knew, very unassuming, and easily got along with them.

On the other hand, Mingyan, who suddenly didn't have to work overtime, felt very uncomfortable.

On the first day, he spent time in the entertainment hall, using VR equipment to play the second full-scoring masterpiece of this year - "Simulated League 16" from the second star province.

As can be seen from the name, this is a game with the theme of League One e-sports competitions.

The main body of the game is to allow players to play the role of the owner of an e-sports club, and use limited funds to compete for a better ranking by buying, selling, training and mining e-sports players.

Of course, some people play this game as a "collection player" game;

What's more, there are still people playing "harem cultivation"...

This work is a time-honored brand, and the highest score in the past was 9.5 points.

This year, the handling of its various systems is very perfect and harmonious, and it also introduces new game ideas, which are extremely playable. No wonder this game can achieve a full score.

Among the 16 nominated works, it is recognized that "Simulation League [-]" and "Blue Star Doom" are the most capable.

To be honest, Mingyan is very confident in his own work, but he doesn't understand the scoring method of League One.

If the judges are indeed more inclined to the time-honored brands that have been shortlisted every year, then "Blue Star Doom" can only try their best to strive for another "Best Drama Award".

After Mingyan thought about it, he saw Xia Cheng walking over.

On the private spaceship, everyone dressed casually. Xia Cheng was wearing a shirt today, and he looked like a young talent.

"Are you playing the simulated League One?" Xia Cheng smiled, "Come play online?"

Mingyan nodded and made room for Xia Cheng.

In the game, the flags of the two clubs were raised at the same time, and the e-sports players under their respective command began to engage in fierce battles according to the coach's command.

The two continued to chat aimlessly while playing.

Xia Cheng said: "Are you still used to it on the boat? Is there any seasickness?"

Mingyan: "The bigger the spaceship, the more stable it is? I didn't feel any bumps."

Xia Cheng: "That's the truth. This spaceship is equipped with an anchor, which should be more stable."

"The 757 model is a super-large model that was released last year, right? I heard that the cost is one billion?" Ming Yan asked curiously.

Xia Cheng said with a smile: "I don't know the details, I just handed it over to the agency. This ship arrived at the beginning of the year, and it's worth 26 billion including the decoration."

Clearly stated: "..."

Xia Cheng said: "Why do you look surprised... Boss Ming, you are worth hundreds of billions now, so you should consider buying one. I can recommend some suitable ones to you."

Ming Yan said with a look of fear: "No, no, I'm desperately poor."

Xia Cheng teased: "I heard that the price of the other world that Blue Star is looking at recently fluctuates around 80 billion?"

Ming Yan said: "The matter of the game, can that be called spending money?"

Xia Cheng: "..."

Xia Cheng won the first game, he played it more skillfully.

The two chose "the next game" at the same time in a tacit understanding.

Xia Cheng said intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you still remember Zhu Wenshu? His Tingxi studio was injected by the cruise ship. I heard that the cost of the new game is more than 3 million, and he is going to make a [-]A masterpiece."

Ming Yan said: "Oh, congratulations to him?"

"...I haven't finished yet." Xia Cheng laughed, "It's true that he is the chief designer now, but the cruise line sent him a financial director, a producer, and a producer."

Mingyan was at a loss: "What are the last two used for?"

Xia Cheng said: "It's no use, these three people supervise him. One is in charge of what he buys, one is in charge of who he eats with, and the other is in charge of how he plays games."

Mingyan asked: "They know how to play games better than Zhu Wenshu, are they seniors?"

Xia Cheng said: "Of course not, they just went to play with capital. The equity of Tingxi Studio has skyrocketed due to the injection of capital in the past two days. Zhu Wenshu is preparing to go public. These two days, he has been busy entertaining various saints, so he is proud of it." Very much."

Although Mingyan didn't know much about this aspect of affairs, he still heard the problem behind it.

Cruise Capital seems to be in a hurry to encourage the growth of seedlings. It must have its purpose in hastily pushing promising studios to the stage within a few months.

Xia Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's just watch."

The second game was finished quickly, but it was clearly claimed to have won.

He was very lucky, he even picked up a talented player, and won the game with this single seedling.

Xia Cheng said: "This reminds me of the Great Devil... It's a pity that Odin retired after winning the championship. Otherwise, he should be able to buy him in the 16th simulation league."

Ming Yan said: "Are you also his fan?"

"No, no, I'm your fan." Xia Cheng laughed, and his ears moved inadvertently.

Mingyan fell into deep thought.

Thanks to the status of the game industry in the StarCraft era, the influence of star players is higher than he imagined.

For example, in the third season finals of League of Legends this year, there was also a champion player who ruled the middle lane, and his ID was called "Devil King".

With his meteoric rise in the game, he quickly gathered a large number of fans.

The fanaticism of these fans is not inferior to that of the entertainment industry at all, and they are much more tolerant than the latter - they can accept idols to fall in love and get married, and they are much less aggressive.

After thinking about it, Mingyan got inspiration again, and happily said to Xia Cheng: "You are right, we can use this opportunity to create a group of star players."

Xia Cheng: "???" Wait a minute, did I just say something?

Mingyan said: "It's just right, it's time to strengthen the status of the jungler. In the fourth season of next year, we can switch to a new batch of T0 professions."

Xia Cheng tentatively said: "It's rare to come out to play for a while, why don't we put down the game first?"

Mingyan thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, if you want to do it, you have to go back and do it again. Now let's play the games selected this year."

They finished the third simulated League One game, and then went on to play other games.

Of course, the games that can be shortlisted for the "Best of the Year" are not mediocre games, each one is a masterpiece that makes countless players addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.

Excluding the most traditional monster-fighting and upgrading games in other worlds, there are still two VR games suitable for killing time.

In this way, an afternoon was quickly killed.

During dinner, Xia Cheng was still a little unsatisfied, and said, "It's been a long time since I played games so focused. The last time I played so crazy was probably when I was in my third year of high school..."

Ming Yan said with a smile: "Then this time we can have fun in the Central Star Province."

Xia Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is this your first time going? I can show you many interesting places."

Mingyan thought about his itinerary, and did not refuse, saying, "I may have two days."

Xia Cheng immediately made arrangements in his heart!

Where are the most famous love sanctuaries in Central Star Province?

I only hate myself for not paying attention to it!

……

On December 12, the spacecraft arrived at the corresponding exit of the FTL channel on time, and parked at a space port in the Central Star Province.

Then, they replaced the ferry in the star system and came to the planet where League One held the ceremony.

The planet is very congested right now, media from all over the place are queuing up on the dedicated channel, and everyone is carrying a full set of equipment.

The nominees went through another channel.

I saw a group of production teams walking in one place, and there were staff members arranged by League One waiting at the exit with a sign.

Ling Xiaoman was still lying on Varian's back, and whispered: "Look, the bosses in every team wearing plaid shirts must be programmers!"

At this time, Varian was glad that he hadn't shaved off his beard, so he could laugh unobtrusively.

The staff quickly picked up the team from Blue Star Studio, and League One had already booked a room at the nearest hotel.

Corresponding envelopes were carefully prepared in each room, and the itinerary for the day of the ceremony was written in detail.

The exhibition opens at 10:00 in the morning, and until 15:00 in the afternoon, you can freely play all the nominated games in it;

There is lunch at noon and afternoon tea at 13:00;

The ceremony starts on time at 16:00 in the evening;

At 18:00 in the evening, the League One dinner will begin, and there will be a dance after the dinner;

At 21:00 in the evening, the show officially ended.

There are a total of [-] days before and after the hotel private room is booked to ensure that each guest has enough time.

That night, Mingyan and Xia Cheng walked over to visit one of the most famous scenic spots in League One.

The first is the Platinum Palace!

This hall is really in the form of a palace, and the main entrance is divided into two corridors on the left and right.

On the left is the Platinum Palace of e-sports, inside this year's League One national players, all of them are well-known in the world;

On the right is the Platinum Palace of the game industry, where all the perfect masterpieces in the history of the game are enshrined, and behind each work stands its producer/chief designer.

Those who leave their names in the hall have their own dynamic statues.

For example, there was a life-size 3D statue in front of Odin, the last national champion of the League One.

——Carrying black wings, a pair of golden eyes looked down coldly.

Cool slag, completely his in-game image.

Compared with the players, the gamers are much more simple, most of them are formal or even casual clothes, and then they hold their own games or medals, show a smile, and add a cool company LOGO to the background at most.

Speaking of which, after "Blue Star Doom" was confirmed to get full marks, League One also sent someone to notify Mingyan to come and take pictures.

Just because they were going to attend the awards ceremony this time, Ming Yan went directly to their dedicated camera studio.

When the staff heard that he had come directly, they were also shocked and said, "Did you come alone?"

Ming Yan tilted his head: "No, my friend is also there."

Xia Cheng raised his hand.

The staff was stunned, it was the first time they saw such a calm and calm person.

In the past, those who were sure that they were going to enter the Platinum Palace were all very excited. They bathed and burned incense in advance, and even called their relatives and friends around...

There is also a banquet to celebrate, no matter how bad it is, you have to post it on Moments, right?

Mingyan said that he had nothing, and came directly with empty hands.

It’s not so casual to take a ID photo!

Ming Yan was quite cheerful, took a look at himself in front of the mirror, and said, "It's pretty good."

Xia Cheng was also very happy. He stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, then fiddled with Mingyan's bangs twice, and said, "You're so handsome, there's no problem at all."

Staff: "..." Ma Dan, it's all the sour smell of love.

He called their makeup artist.

The latter looked at Mingyan and said, "Sir, let me put on light makeup for you. You look so young. Are you a player from the First League?"

Xia Cheng said proudly: "He is a designer, the kind of talented young man."

"Wow." The makeup artist was also surprised.

The 3D camera is still very fast, Mingyan just holds the collector's edition packaging case of "Blue Star Doom", sits there with a silly smile and it's over.

Xia Cheng looked at him with a smile on the side.

After a while, Xia Cheng suddenly asked thoughtfully: "One full-score work can enter the Platinum Hall, so what if the second one is released?"

The staff replied: "This situation has only happened twice in history. We will re-update the image of this designer and let him hold a game in one hand."

Xia Cheng laughed: "Then what if there are three? I don't have anything to hold."

"...This really hasn't happened before." The staff member said, "I guess I'll have to ask the chairman for instructions then."

Once the shoot is over, the crew starts working on the raw images.

It is said that it can be completed within three days at the earliest and seven days at the latest.

When the time comes, "Ming Yan" will sit in this platinum hall with a smile, and will be moved around with the League One Association every year.

And when all players come to the pilgrimage, they will see him and "Blue Star Doom" occupying a place.

Mingyan suddenly thought.

In this case, it should be able to prove that he has been to this world, and made a little voice for Blue Star, and let this world hear it!

That night, almost everyone living in the hotel was so excited that it was difficult to fall asleep.

The team from Blue Star Studio simply held a party overnight, eating barbecue and karaoke together, and then playing cards and playing various games until the middle of the night before falling asleep.

And Mingyan went shopping online with Xia Cheng.

Xia Cheng said: "It's rare to come to the Central Star Province to have a look. Of course, I have to buy some good things to bring back. Come, let me introduce you to a few brands..."

Then Mingyan didn't know why, but was dragged by Xia Cheng to try on many suits.

Xia Cheng said that everything he saw was good-looking, it was totally unprincipled.

Mingyan was also obsessed with ghosts, but he was very happy for some reason, and bought a dozen sets in one night.

——For Chief Designer Ming, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on clothes is really too extravagant!Tut tut tut!

The next day was December 12th, and the staff of the First League outside were busy setting up the clubhouse.

Xia Cheng was called away by the elders of his family.

And Mingyan received a communication from Ning and Feng, and the two had lunch on this planet.

Ning and Feng returned to the Central Star Province at the beginning of the year, because the basic affairs in the Sixth Star Province had already been completed.

He was still thinking about Lanxing's matter, which moved Mingyan very much.

And Ning and Feng also brought "inside information", saying: "The end of Blue Star should be stable, congratulations."

Of course, we can't go into details, but the chairman's words undoubtedly reassured Mingyan.

Ning Yufeng also asked: "How long are you going to play in the Central Star Province this time?"

Mingyan said: "I should go back next week."

Ning Yufeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Mingyan and was silent for a while, then said, "So, can I invite you to watch a movie if I have time?"

Mingyan pinched his fingers and made the final calculation, and said, "I'm free at night, but not necessarily during the day..."

Ning and Feng immediately said: "Are you going to play with Master Xia during the day?"

Mingyan: "How do you know?"

Ning and Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Looks like we're still friends."

Mingyan: "?" If you're not a friend, can you still break up the relationship?

All in all, the two still booked a movie.

With less than 30 hours left until the awards ceremony, Ming Yan's heart beat a little faster.

Ning Yufeng smiled and said, "Just wait for your good news."

……

Around 12:10 pm on December 15.

The scene of the annual game ceremony of the League One Association.

The flashlights, red carpet and live broadcast equipment are all in place, and many drones in mid-air are doing aerial photography and lighting work.

Cars stopped at the door in sequence.

A total of more than 1000 people participated in this meeting, each of whom is a well-known person in the industry.

Mingyan took a deep breath, straightened his tie, and looked back at the crowd behind him.

All members of the Blue Star production team were present, waiting for him to take this first step.

At the same time, the sixth star province.

Inside the Blue Star Building.

All the remaining employees sat in the lobby, watching the live broadcast on the big screen in the center.

The audience held their breath, fearing that they might miss a shot.

Someone whispered: "Boss is so handsome."

"Come on Blue Star, I believe our game is the best."

Inside the Royal Academy.

Today's No. [-] cafeteria was full of people in advance, because the live broadcast of the League One's annual game will be broadcast live.

But the Game Academy has hundreds of people in the design major alone, and those who can't sit still can only watch the live broadcast by themselves in the dormitory building.

There are 5 bedrooms in a dormitory, and 5 roommates appear in the common area at the same time, staring nervously at the same screen.

"Senior is awesome..."

"After more than three years of graduation, I have been on the scene of the First League. When can I have this ability..."

"Wake up, wake up! Wipe your drool, the live broadcast has started!"

Inside the residence.

Mingyan's former adoptive mother started the live broadcast.

"Old man, it is clearly stated that last year's scene..."

"Don't look, I won't even look if I jump from here!"

Ling Xiaoman's whole family, together with the three aunts and six wives who came uninvited, all gathered in front of the screen.

"Is this Xiao Man?"

"Little girl looks so pretty when she dresses up!"

"That's her boss, right? Tsk tsk tsk is young and promising, he is a wealthy son-in-law, do you have a date now?"

Varian's wife, the family members of many staff members, people in the industry in the Sixth Star Province, and even everyone in the Blue Star Research Institute...

Of course, the followers of the Ming Cult cannot be forgotten.

They all stay in front of the live broadcast.

"This year's game of the year is always our sixth star province's turn, right?"

"Lan Xing is still amazing, I have to accept it. You say how do the young people grow their heads?"

"Long live the leader!! Beep beep———" (the small trumpet has already been blown)

The process of the ceremony was simple and clear, starting with the announcement of the "Mobile Game of the Year", and soon came the "Best Story Award".

For each nominated work, there is a piece of CG that will appear on the big screen, some are touching ending clips, and some are popular reversal plots...

Finally, as soon as the screen turned, a white dragon was seen soaring into the sky.

In an instant, the water splashed everywhere, and after the waterfall-like water curtain, there was a green city ruins.

The host said: "In the past years, we have seen many realities, many virtual ones, and many beautiful scenery with various styles. But there has never been a place that can make us linger so much; there has never been a character that can make us stand for She is so worried.

"This is an ancient and mysterious planet, the seed left by a great civilization, and a thrilling story shown to us by a talented designer. He uses virtuality as a bridge to bring us a story that originated from life. And a work of art larger than life!"

"I announce that this year's 'Best Drama' winner is—

""Blue Star Doom", Blue Star Studio!"

On the big screen, Blue Star's LOGO appeared.

The background music sounded, and it was the theme song "The Earth TOPOLOGIUM" of "Blue Star Doom".

There was warm applause at the scene, and Ming Yan stood up.

In front of the screen, the heartbeat of many people also accelerated.

"Long live the blue star, long live the leader!"

"I really won the award, the one who went up to receive the award is the senior?"

"It's not surprising at all. If a story of Blue Star's level can't win an award, I will suspect that there is a shady scene."

The trophy for the "Best Drama Award" is quite interesting. It is in the shape of a quill and a parchment.

Mingyan held up the trophy, stood in front of the microphone, thought for a while, and said, "Thank you to everyone in Bluestar Studios, and to all the players who supported us. Thank you."

End of speech.

A total of three short sentences, 24 characters.

Everyone in the audience waited for a long time, and finally confirmed that Mingyan had no more words, and then began to applaud enthusiastically.

I have never seen such a calm winner!

Look at this confident and calm demeanor, it really doesn't look like a fledgling young man, he already has the aura of Taishan Beidou.

God knows, this is another field that Mingyan is not good at.

In other words, he is not good at all areas related to speaking.

I still asked Xia Cheng for these two words of thanks!

When the two were chatting there in the middle of the night, Xia Cheng drafted several sets of acceptance speeches for Mingyan, but they were all passed by Mingyan.

Ming Yan said: "I have nothing to say to others, and I have nothing to say to players."

He really didn't feel the need to say anything.

Bluestar makes games seriously, and players play games seriously. This is the best relationship and attitude between gamers and players.

Delicious eggs are the hen's greatest comfort.

Ming Yan, who received the award and stepped down, smiled and threw the trophy to everyone in Blue Star Studio.

They whispered to each other:

"Wow, is it pure gold? Give me a bite and try!"

"Shh, don't be ashamed, it will be recorded when the camera comes over!"

"Already won an award, does it mean that the best of the year is gone?"

"Is there such a rule in League One? I'm so nervous as you said..."
