My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 149 Xiao Tao
Master A was completely focused on Zhulong's consciousness, and he didn't even notice the beads of sweat on his forehead. However, his operation became more and more precise. On the screen, every movement of the protagonist was perfect to the extreme.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also very excited. Whether they were cheering him on or booing him, their eyes were fixed on the battle between him and Zhulong Zhishi.

Come on, Lao A! We’re almost there!

I'm almost there.

I almost got the first place in the speed run event of "Nether Mountain and Sea"!

After being unknown for so many years, I must take advantage of this opportunity to soar to the sky!

An old fan of Master A starred at the screen with gritted teeth.

He doesn't care whether Master A will remember him or his old fans in the future.

He just hopes that Master A can be happy.

Maybe this is what a true die-hard fan is.

Master A took advantage of the gap in the attack of Zhulong Zhizhi and rushed forward again, slashing at the opponent with special attack effects.

However, as soon as he attacked, something strange appeared in Zhulong's consciousness.

The opponent suddenly stood up and started to read the bar. If the reading was completed, the ultimate move that could kill the entire screen instantly would be used.

Without any hesitation, Master A's eyes instantly locked onto the three halos around Zhulong's consciousness, representing day and night, four seasons, and yin and yang.

The three halos shone with strange light, madly absorbing the surrounding energy.

He controlled his character to rush towards the nearest halo representing the four seasons, and directly chopped the halo with a charged heavy blow, knocking off about one-third of the halo's health bar!
His operation was flawless. Snap, snap, snap! He broke the halo three times in a row, stifling the full-screen instant kill skill of Zhulong Zhizhi at the last moment.

Zhulong's consciousness roared in pain. After breaking all the halos, its health dropped again, leaving only a trace of blood.

Expert A felt relieved, he finally got it!
However, the next second, he saw a black light out of the corner of his eye, and his finger subconsciously pressed the dodge button.

"boom!"

The Time and Space Slash flew past him, brushing past him and making him break out in a cold sweat.

Almost failed at the last minute.

Expert A rolled sideways, lunged forward, and stabbed the opponent with his weapon!

"Pfft!"

As the last bit of Zhulong's consciousness's health was exhausted, it roared unwillingly, indicating that the core of its true body was gradually collapsing.

An achievement pops up in the lower right corner: Not an IGN reviewer.

However, Master A did not look there, but subconsciously leaned back heavily and lay down on the back of the chair.

His face was a mixture of fatigue and satisfaction.

Finally, he reached the finish line!
And he was the first to reach the finish line!

Under the table, his fingers holding the controller were trembling slightly.

On the one hand, the long-term high-intensity operation made his fingers too tired.

On the other hand, it was because he was extremely excited at this moment!
The audience in the live broadcast room was also excited. They witnessed together that Master A became the first player in the world to complete "Nether Mountain and Sea".

"666666"

"Oh my god, my one million"

"Old A is invincible! From now on I'll call you God A!"

"I can only say that you didn't make a mistake in your ID. You are really an expert."

"One battle to become a god"

"This operation is too incredible, I will never be able to perform it in my lifetime."

Various gift special effects flashed across the screen. Expert A had no idea how much money he could get from these rewards alone.

It took a long time for Master A to come back to his senses. He sat up straight again and looked at the barrage.

"thank you all."

He paused, suddenly not knowing what to say.

Many of these audience members were here for the first time, which gave him an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity.

At this moment, the official of the Netherworld Mountain and Sea production team actually sent a SC reward message of one thousand yuan.

“Thanks for playing our game.”

Expert A saw it at a glance and became excited instantly.

He didn't expect that the production team was also watching his live broadcast in the live room.

After a few days of intensive gaming, Master A has completely become a fan of this company and production team.

Bloody Dungeon? Sorry, I only know Netherworld Mountain and Sea right now.

He could fully anticipate that his gaming time would be spent on this game for a long time to come.

"Thanks to the production team for letting me play such a fun game. I..."

"I really like Youming Shanhai and I'm looking forward to your future works."

Expert A tried his best to say these words, but suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, it was his first time speaking so bluntly in a live broadcast room.

Expert A turned around and looked at the screen full of enthusiastic comments, his heart filled with emotion that he would actually have such a day.

Soon, the entry for the first person to complete "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" was pushed to the top of the hot search list.

It turned out that the gap between Master A and the second place was bigger than he had imagined.

Because, it was five hours after he finished the game that the second place finally conquered the Knowledge of Zhulong.

Master A himself had no intention of releasing the live broadcast video, but a viewer had already recorded the entire process of his battle with Zhulong's Consciousness and posted it on Bilibili.

When a passerby player clicks on the first hot search, the first video on the page that pops up is this live recording.

All the viewers who clicked on the video were stunned.

Even players who haven't reached the final boss can see the difficulty of this battle.

Expert A could die instantly at any moment in the battle, but he is like a piece of unyielding duckweed, standing tall in the face of the storm.

Is this a game for humans?
This thought popped up in the minds of the audience.

However, in "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", not everyone will face a battle of the same difficulty as Master A when they reach the consciousness of Zhulong.

In order to save time, Master A focused on the main line throughout the whole process and put all his points into attack-related abilities.

If the player does some side quests, gets some hidden items, and doesn't choose skill points so extremely, then he will find that the Time and Space Slash of Zhulong's Consciousness is not actually an instant kill skill!
Expert A was killed instantly simply because he didn't have any skill points in health and defense.

For ordinary players, if they cannot even pass the level in this way, they can continue to level up until they crush the enemy with data.

Souls-like games don't mean giving players no choices and letting them suffer forever.

As long as players want to skip classes, developers should more or less take this into consideration.

Therefore, Zhou Kuang prepared some small monsters near the save points before the high-difficulty bosses, which could be refreshed using the save points and used for leveling.

Although strictly speaking, this cannot be considered as skipping classes, it can somewhat reduce the frustration felt by the general player group.

……

…………

"Ding! Game sales have reached five million! System Task 03 completed!"

"Rewards are being distributed..."

"Distribution successful!"

Zhou Kuang woke up from his sleep and sat up suddenly.

Was I dreaming just now? Or was I hallucinating?
wrong!

Zhou Kuang came back to his senses and realized that he seemed to have heard the system's voice just now.

Five million sales? System Task 03 completed?
That’s right!

Zhou Kuang came to his senses!
The sales volume of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" must have reached five million copies!
He had been keeping an eye on sales during the day today and thought he would see the news in the office tomorrow, but he was woken up by the system in his sleep.

By the way, has anything similar happened before?

Zhou Kuang suddenly sat up and felt his brain was a little congested, even his thinking speed slowed down.

He stood up and tried to turn on the system, but found that he couldn't.

Try again, still no luck.

Zhou Kuang was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, with goose bumps all over his body.

Tried to turn on the system again, still nothing!
Oh shit, I hope they confiscated my system!
Zhou Kuang walked to the door of his room and wanted to open it, but found that the door could not be opened at all!

The door seemed to be fixed to the space, not moving at all.

eh?

Why do I feel a sense of déjà vu for some reason?

Zhou Kuang reacted and realized that he seemed to have encountered a similar thing after using the "Bronze Producer Realm" last time.

But this time, he was woken up by the system while he was sleeping, and suddenly he couldn't open the system, and he entered this state without any trace.

Strange, very strange!
Zhou Kuang felt inexplicably uneasy.

He turned around and wanted to sit back on the bed to think more, but he was startled to find a man sitting in the chair next to his desk.

But he soon calmed down.

Could it be the same Italian game producer of "Enotia: The Lost Song" that I met last time?

Is it another game producer?

Zhou Kuang looked up and found that the person looked more and more familiar.

This man has a heroic face, but unexpectedly gives people a friendly feeling.

He has slightly thinning light brown hair and gray-blue eyes.

The bridge of his nose under his eyes is very high and straight, and his cheeks are slightly thin, revealing the bone contours of his face.

When Zhou Kuang looked at the stubble on his chin, he finally remembered who he was!
What the hell!

Todd! Tao Cannon! Super Little Tao!
Isn't this Todd Howard!
Zhou Kuang was shocked. He didn't expect that he would actually meet a game producer again, and this time he was obviously more important than the last time.

Todd Howard, game director of Bethesda Game Studios in the United States, has been responsible for projects including the famous "The Elder Scrolls" series, "Fallout" series, and to some extent, the infamous "Starfield".

Zhou Kuang felt a little complicated.

Under the hands of the other party, legendary series such as "The Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout" were born, which also made the names of Bethesda and Bethesda well-known to the public.

As time went on to the 21s of the 20st century, the other party's works began to deviate from players' expectations.

Ultimately, the failure of "Starry Sky" is the most heartbreaking thing.

Zhou Kuang didn't feel sad for them losing money. After all, if anyone really felt sorry for their money, it would only be the players' money that was used to buy such a tasteless and useless game.

He felt sorry for these excellent game makers who wasted a lot of time and invested in a game that would ultimately not yield any results.

A top-tier 3A stand-alone blockbuster, the average production time ranges from four to eight years.

However, an excellent game developer will most likely not reach maturity until he is at least thirty years old.

From the period when his abilities and creativity were at their peak to the period when his abilities gradually declined due to old age and physical frailty, it was actually less than thirty years.

Not to mention, Bethesda's employees are naturally some of the top gaming professionals in the industry, and the requirements for them will only be higher.

According to employees within Bethesda, the game "Starfield" has been in development since at least 2016 and will be released in 2023, a full seven years!
More than five hundred top game developers from Bethesda invested a lot of money, a lot of energy, and spent seven years of their youth to finally produce a game called "Starfield".

Isn't this funny?
As a colleague, Zhou Kuang felt both funny and sad.

However, since Todd was in front of him, Zhou Kuang still kept a positive attitude.

No matter what, Todd is still a legendary game producer and game designer. It would be great if we could learn something from him!
He was about to speak when the other party spoke, still speaking standard Mandarin.

"Hello, I'm Todd Howard, who are you?"

He looked at Zhou Kuang curiously and asked.

Zhou Kuang wanted to complain in his heart. "Isn't it me who should be asking this? You were the one who suddenly flashed into my room and sat in my seat without my consent."

He was sleeping soundly and dreaming when he was suddenly woken up by the system!
Then I saw Todd in his room.

Zhou Kuang was not frightened to death, which meant he had a strong heart.

"Zhou Kuang, the boss of Kuangshi Games."

"never heard of that."

Todd shook his head, and Zhou Kuang's mouth twitched.

Well, Todd is from Blue Star, so naturally he doesn’t know about the company called Kuangshi Games in this world.

"But I know your game is called Netherworld Mountains and Seas, right?" Todd touched his chin and looked thoughtful.

"Yes, that's the game we just released not long ago."

Zhou Kuang replied.

He knew that since Todd was created by the system in some way, it was not surprising that the other party knew about "Netherworld Mountains and Seas".

After all, if Todd was just an illusion created by the system, Zhou Kuang would not be surprised by anything he did.

“It’s an interesting name, I like it very much.”

Todd smiled and seemed very satisfied with the name.

Zhou Kuang nodded and accepted his praise.

"Do you mind if I try it out?"

"Of course not. Please do as you please."

Zhou Kuang recalled that the Italian producer Basilio had given him many very useful suggestions after trying out "Netherworld Mountains and Seas".

This time, I believe Bethesda’s legendary game director, Todd Howard, will also have some profound remarks!

When Todd heard that he agreed, there was a hint of anticipation on his face. He sat in front of his computer and opened the game directly.

"Netherworld Mountains and Seas", launched!

Zhou Kuang seemed to hear such a voice in the air.
