Liu Mengyuan: "There's nothing we can do. It's too late now. Let's just try to save the situation."

……

Time quickly arrived at the opening day of the Tokyo Game Show.

Tokyo, Japan.

The exhibition site on the opening day was like a boiling ocean. Thousands of game enthusiasts, media reporters and industry insiders flocked to the venue. The entire Makuhari Messe was packed with people and the noise was endless.

At the entrance of the exhibition, a huge electronic screen scrolled the theme of this exhibition:
"Connecting to the Future World"

Players excitedly passed through security and entered the exhibition hall, where they were greeted by a gaming world brimming with futuristic technology. The hall was dazzling with lights, and the booths featured unique designs and creative installations that were truly dazzling.

Soon after the opening of the exhibition, the booths of major game companies were already crowded with players waiting to try out new games.

The booths of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo were particularly eye-catching, with long queues winding out of the booths.

Players stared intently at the game demonstration in front of the large screen, some waving XBOX controllers, and some wearing PSVR helmets, immersed in the virtual world.

On the center stage, the host enthusiastically introduced the upcoming games and activities, drawing enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience. Large screens on either side of the stage broadcast the action live from every corner!
Lu Yu and others entered through the staff passage.

The booth assigned to Taoyuan Township was located in a standard position against the wall.

After watching the staff set up the exhibition for a while, Lu Yu and Liu Mengyuan yawned and decided to visit other booths first.

……

The two of them held hands and started to shop around the three major consoles.

In front of Sony's booth, a trailer for the new PS4 game "Horizon: Reach West" was playing.

A huge mechanical dinosaur model stood in the center of the booth, as if it would move at any time.

In the trial play area, players experienced the amazing graphics and smooth operation, and the exclamations of "Sri Lanka No. 1" were heard everywhere.

Microsoft's booth showcased the upcoming Forza Horizon 5.

A real Porsche was parked in front of the booth for visitors to take photos. The game trial area was also crowded.

Nintendo announced its new game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" for Switch, and the booth was already packed with people.

After leaving the booth of the three major companies, Lu Yu went to visit the software factory.

At the Bandai Namco Entertainment booth,
The brand new "Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connect" and the highly anticipated "Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Budokai" are being showcased.

The vendor booth featured interactive demonstration stations, life-size statues of Naruto characters, and a VR experience of the Dragon Ball universe.

The Capcom booth is showcasing new titles such as Street Fighter 6 and Isekai Dōbōrō.

Capcom designed its booth as a full-scale Street Fighter arena, allowing attendees to participate in tournaments, and also featured a dinosaur encounter VR experience related to Xenoverse.

The Konami booth was showcasing new works from the "Metal Gear Solid" and "Silent Hill" series, but they were all concept trailers, which were criticized by players on the scene as empty promises.

Square Enix is ​​showcasing the long-awaited Final Fantasy 15 and Abandoned Universe.

Koei Tecmo Games showcased "Dynasty Warriors 9: Empires" and "Nioh 2".

Kojima Productions is showcasing Hideo Kojima's new project, Death Stranding. At the exhibition, they will exclusively showcase Hideo Kojima's creative process behind the scenes and will also hold a signing event.

……

Lu Fan and his companion came out of Hall 1 and went to Hall 2, where Chinese manufacturers gathered to exhibit.

Tenghui Games' booth is in Hall 2 and is one of the most spectacular booths.

They brought a new version of the popular mobile game "Honor of Kings" - "Honor of Kings World".

The booth's grand design made it feel like being in the in-game Canyon of Kings. A massive LED screen displayed live game highlights and player battles, attracting a large number of curious gamers to stop and watch.

There is a huge statue of the King in the center of the booth, surrounded by life-size models of classic heroic characters in the game, and sporadic Pesticide Squad players took photos.

Tenghui has also prepared multiple trial areas where players can experience the latest gameplay of "Honor of Kings World" firsthand, but the number of people queuing is not large.

Douyin Games’ booth was themed with futuristic technology and showcased their latest sci-fi game “Crystal Core”.

Not only are there trial devices for "Crystal Core" on site, but there is also a VR experience area.

Douyin also invited well-known YouTube hosts and game developers to conduct live interactions and commentary. The atmosphere was lively and the audience was enthusiastic.

Lu Yu and his companion passed by a pair of players and heard their conversation:
"I always feel that there is still some gap between domestic manufacturers and international giants in terms of game quality."

"Don't worry, the Peach Blossom Land that I'm most looking forward to hasn't announced its new work yet, so let's wait and see."

……

After visiting several venues, Lu Yu arrived at Youyi's booth.

Compared with the booths of other domestic manufacturers, Youyi's booth looks quite shabby.

Youyi Company quietly exhibited two games at this moment, "Shunhuo Nuan Standalone Edition" and "Naraka: Bladepoint".

However, the booth was deserted and only a few players came to inquire.

Liu Mengyuan looked at the desolate scenery of the booth and frowned slightly.

Lu Yu sighed, "It seems that Long Teng's negative influence on You Yi is still increasing. How does your mother plan to deal with Pei Shengnan?"

Liu Mengyuan shook his head in confusion.

……

In sharp contrast to Youyi’s shabby booth, Longteng Group’s luxurious booth undoubtedly became the focus of the entire venue!
The booth, located in the center of the exhibition hall, was expansive and magnificently decorated. Towering electronic screens surrounded it, continuously playing the trailer for "Swordsman Love III: Xie Yun's Legend." The entire booth was transformed into a futuristic, technologically advanced Jianghu world, replete with flashing neon lights and stunning sound effects.

There was a bustling crowd of people in front of the booth.

Players were attracted by the luxurious layout and stunning visual effects and were reluctant to leave.

The Longteng Group’s logo hangs high in the center of the booth, symbolizing their dominant position in the Chinese industry!
Even if you look at the entire TGS exhibition hall, Longteng's booth is the coolest one...

When Lu Yu and the others arrived here, a grand press conference was being held.
Longteng Group invited a large number of media and well-known game bloggers to be guests on stage, and the host enthusiastically introduced the status of these world-class KOLs in the gaming field.

Judging from the momentum, Longteng Group wants to crush other manufacturers including Youyi Company!
even!

In order to demonstrate the excellent performance of the game, Longteng Group arranged a public trial comparison session.

Players were invited to the stage to personally experience "Swordsman Love III: Xie Yun's Legend".
On the same computer, I also deliberately installed a trial video of Youyi's "Naraka: Bladepoint" for comparison.

Compared with the audience, "The Legend of Xie Yun" is undoubtedly superior, and every detail demonstrates the technical strength of Longteng Group!
Longteng Group also invited many well-known game anchors and e-sports players to support the platform. They set off a wave of enthusiasm on major live broadcast platforms, constantly making things happen and creating topics.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the live broadcast, the official directly organized an online PK battle competition at the booth.

The players fought fiercely on the stage, with swords flashing and shadows flying, and every move made the audience scream.

Many players who watched the live broadcast of the exhibition were amazed:

"Holy crap! The graphics in 'Xie Yunliu' are so awesome!" "Xie Yunliu's swordplay is so cool! No other game can compare! The true pride of domestically produced games at this exhibition!"

"Haha, just by looking at the graphics quality, you can tell that Youyi's games are completely incomparable."

"Longteng Group will always be the god! Other manufacturers can just forget about it!"

"Every frame is a wallpaper. I would like to be called the absolute king of this Tokyo Game Show!"

"To be honest, after seeing Longteng's booth, I suddenly felt bored when I looked at the booths of other domestic manufacturers."

"Haha, 'Xie Yun Chuan Liu' has become a hit in this exhibition!"

As the press conference progressed, Longteng Group also announced that the game would support multiple language versions, which immediately sparked heated discussions and attention from international players.

Longteng's actions on the first day of the exhibition also made other domestic manufacturers present feel tremendous pressure.

Even many overseas game journalists rushed to Longteng's booth to take pictures and film footage.

……

Lu Yu knew that Liu Mengyuan was upset and was about to pull her away.

suddenly!

A new trailer was played at the booth, causing the players at the booth to scream in surprise.

It turned out that at this moment, the huge screen started playing the trailer of the movie "Xie Yun Chuan Liu".

As the trailer switches scenes one after another, scenes of the martial arts world are shown one after another: the heroic duel between swordsmen, the fierce battle between the girl in white and the beast, the meditation of monks in the ancient temple, and the mysterious fairyland scenery.

Accompanied by grand and exciting music, the trailer reaches its climax: Xie Yunliu engages in a life-and-death struggle with a black-clad swordsman. The sword moves are swift and the sword energy is overwhelming. The scene is intense and shocking!
In the end, Xie Yunliu defeated his opponent with one sword, stood on the top of the world, looked into the distance, and showed his heroic spirit!
After the trailer ended, the audience around the booth was boiling!
The Japanese players had never seen such a scene before, and they shouted excitedly:
"Xie Yun's spread must play, the best in this country!"

"The Longteng Group from China is invincible!"

“Looking forward to the big movie!”

Amid the players' cheers, Pei Shengnan from Longteng Group personally took the stage.

Today, he was wearing a well-tailored suit, looking calm and composed, smiling and waving to the audience.

The light shone on him, making him look particularly dazzling.

Pei Shengnan took the microphone and said enthusiastically:

“Thank you to all the players from all over the world for your love for Xie Yun Chuan Liu!

This is not just a game, it's a magnificent legend. If you love Chinese culture, you absolutely can't miss it!

He paused, then deliberately gave a meaningful smile.

"In fact, our Longteng Group has always been committed to bringing players the best gaming experience, unlike some manufacturers who only know how to hype gimmicks but cannot produce real products.

I believe that after our professional comparison today, all players will be able to make their own judgments."

The audience immediately burst into laughter and applause.

They naturally knew that Pei Shengnan was mocking Youyi Company.

……

"Oh, forget it, ignore him."

Lu Yu took Liu Mengyuan to continue visiting the exhibition.

At this moment, Pei Shengnan on the stage happened to see Lu Yu below the stage, and the corners of his mouth curved into a meaningful arc.

Haha, Lu Yu, this game exhibition is bound to make you look good...

……

While the players were still immersed in the excitement brought by the Longteng booth,
suddenly!

A shocking news came from Konami's booth:

A new work in the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" series is here, the card game "Yu-Gi-Oh! Lightspeed Duel" is newly launched on the PSVR platform.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation at the scene!

The game trailer began playing on the huge screen, instantly attracting the attention of countless viewers.

On the screen, the young duelist, Yugi Muto, appeared.

He held a golden card in his hand, standing tall in a magnificent arena, surrounded by deafening cheers from the audience.

The camera switches to show Yugi facing off against his nemesis, Seto Kaiba, with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon coming to life behind Kaiba, ready to roar at any moment.

Then, a fierce card duel appeared on the screen. Yugi Muto summoned the Dark Magician, and Kaiba summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The two cards were presented in three dimensions in virtual reality, vividly alive.

The two engaged in a fierce duel, and the special effects of the card skills were gorgeous and dazzling, leaving the fans at the scene stunned!
Then, the camera switches to various classic scenes, and the audience can see the classic characters and cards in the "Yu-Gi-Oh" series appear one after another: Yami Yugi, Katsuya Jonouchi, Peacock Dance, and the three mythical gods——

Obelisk's Giant God Soldier, Osiris's Sky Dragon, and Ra's Winged Dragon!

When these classic characters appeared, the whole audience cheered!
At the climax of the trailer, Yugi Muto and his companions stand together and face the huge dark force.

Each of them holds a flashing card, ready for the final battle. The scene suddenly stops in the middle of a fierce battle.

The title of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Lightspeed Duel" appeared on the screen.

As the trailer finished playing, the audience was completely excited!

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause, with players shouting:

"Super~~~S-country! This is so cool! I want to get this game as soon as possible!"

"The showdown between Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba was absolutely explosive!"

“I can finally experience Yu-Gi-Oh! in VR. It feels like I’m back in my childhood!”

"These special effects and visuals are simply indescribable! Konami really did a great job this time!"

"Please release it quickly, my wallet is ready!"

Amid these excited shouts, the atmosphere at the Konami booth reached its climax, like a grand carnival!

……

At this time, the Taoyuan Township employees who were watching the live broadcast of the exhibition were also stunned. They didn’t expect Konami to do such a cruel thing!
Many employees in the development team of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card" suddenly felt overwhelmed.

However, before they could let go of their worries, they suddenly heard some shocking news from the Nintendo booth:

The collectible card battle game "Pokémon: Battle of the Mythical Beasts" is coming to Switch!
