Otherworldly Architect

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

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

At first, Lan Xing and his party were trembling, not daring to touch those extravagant equipment that they could not understand, but then they gradually let go.

Because Xia Cheng was still the Xia Cheng they knew after all, he was very unassuming, and he easily became one with them.

On the contrary, Ming Yan suddenly felt unaccustomed to not having to work overtime.

On the first day, he soaked in the entertainment hall and played the second masterpiece of this year with VR equipment - "Simulation A League 16" from the second star province.

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

The main body of the game is to let players play the boss of an e-sports club, and compete for better rankings with limited funds by buying, selling, cultivating and mining e-sports players.

Of course, some people play this game as a game of "collecting players"; some people play it as a stock speculation game, buying low and selling high can be exciting.

What's more, some people are playing "harem development"...

This work is an old brand, and the highest score in the past is 9.5 points.

And this year, the processing of its various systems is very perfect and harmonious, and it has also introduced new arena ideas, which is extremely playable. No wonder this game can achieve a full score.

Among the twelve nominated works, the most recognized ones are "Simulation A League 16" and "Blue Star Doomsday".

To be honest, Mingyan is very confident in his work, but he does not understand the scoring method of the League One.

If the judges are indeed more inclined to be shortlisted for the time-honored brand that accompanies every year, then "Blue Star Doomsday" can only try to win another "Best Drama Award".

Ming Yan thought about it, and saw Xia Cheng come over.

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

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

Ming Yan 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 commanders began to fight fiercely according to the coach's command.

The two continued to chat aimlessly while playing.

Xia Cheng said, "Are you still used to the boat? Is there any seasickness or something?"

Ming Yan: "Is the spaceship bigger and more stable? I don't feel any bumps."

Xia Cheng: "That's right. There is a fixed anchor on the outside of this spaceship, which should be more stable."

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

Xia Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know the specifics. I just handed it over to the intermediary. This ship only arrived at the beginning of the year, and the total cost is 2.6 billion plus the decoration."

Clearly: "..."

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

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

Xia Cheng teased: "Have I heard that the price of the other world that Blue Star is looking at recently fluctuates around 8 billion?"

Ming Yan said: "Can it be called spending money on the game?"

Xia Cheng: "..."

The first game was won by Xia Cheng, and he played a little more skillfully.

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

Xia Cheng said intentionally or unintentionally: "Remember Zhu Wenshu? His Tingxi studio was invested by the cruise ship. I heard that the cost of the new game is more than 300 million yuan, and it is going to be a 3A masterpiece."

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

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

Ming Yan was at a loss: "What are the last two for?"

Xia Cheng said: "It doesn't matter what he does, these three people are all supervising him. One cares about what he buys, one cares about who he eats with, and the other one cares about how he plays games."

Ming Yan asked, "They know how to play games better than Zhu Wenshu. Are they seniors?"

Xia Cheng said: "Of course not, they are just going to play with capital. Tingxi Studio's equity has skyrocketed due to capital injection in the past two days. I wish Wen Shu is preparing to go public. These two days are busy entertaining all kinds of holy people, but I am proud. It's very."

Although Ming Yan 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 growth. It must have its purpose in rushing to bring promising studios to the front in a few months.

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

The second game was over quickly, but it was clear that he won.

He was very lucky. He even picked up a talented player and won the game by relying on this only 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 of the simulated League A."

Ming Yan said: "You are also his fan?"

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

Ming Yan was lost in thought.

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

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

As he rose like a comet in the game, he soon gathered a large number of fans.

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

Mingyan thought about it and found inspiration again, and happily said to Xia Cheng: "You are right, we can take advantage of the situation to create a group of star players."

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

Ming Yan said: "Just right, it's time to strengthen the status of the jungler. In the fourth season of next year, you can change to a new batch of T0 occupations."

Xia Cheng tentatively said: "It's rare to come out and play for a while, why don't we put the game aside 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 game of the simulated League A, and then played other games on the fly.

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

Excluding the most traditional alien monster upgrade game, there are still two VR games suitable for passing time.

In this way, an afternoon of time was quickly spent.

At dinner, Xia Cheng was still a little unfinished and said, "It's been a long time since I played games so intently. The last time I played like this was probably when I was in my third year of high school..."

Ming Yan smiled and said, "Then you can have fun in Central Star Province this time."

Xia Cheng's eyes brightened, and he said, "This is your first time, right? I can show you a lot of fun places."

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

Xia Cheng immediately arranged it in his heart!

Where do the most famous love shrines in Central Star Province come from?

I only hate myself for not paying attention to it!

...

On December 8, the spacecraft arrived at the corresponding exit of the superluminal channel on time, and stopped at a space port in the Central Star Province.

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

The planet is very congested right now, with media from all over the place lining up in dedicated lanes, each with a full set of equipment.

And the nominees go through another channel.

I saw a group of production teams walking together, and there were staff members arranged by the League A waiting at the exit.

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

Varian was thankful that he hadn't shaved off his beard at this point, and he could just snicker in an unobtrusive manner.

The staff quickly picked up the Blue Star Studio group, and Alian had already booked a room at the nearest hotel.

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

The exhibition starts 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 from 13:00;

The ceremony starts at 16:00 in the evening;

At 18:00 in the evening, the A-League dinner will start, and there will be a dance after the dinner;

The show officially ended at 21:00 in the evening.

A total of 14 days before and after the hotel private room is reserved to ensure that each guest has enough time.

That night, Ming Yan and Xia Cheng walked over to visit one of the most well-known attractions in League A.

The first is the Platinum Palace!

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

On the left is the Platinum Hall of E-Sports, and inside it are the national players of the League A this year, all of whom are famous in the arena;

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

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

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

- Carrying black wings on his back, a pair of golden eyes looked down coldly.

Cool slag, completely his image in the game.

Compared with the players, the gamers are much simpler. Most of them are in a suit or even casual clothes, and then hold their own games or medals, show a smile, and at most add a cool company LOGO in the background.

Speaking of which, after "Blue Star Doomsday" was determined to get full marks, the League A also sent someone to notify Mingyan to come over and take a picture.

Just as he was coming to attend the awards ceremony this time, Ming Yan went straight to their dedicated video studio.

When the staff heard that he came directly, they were also shocked and said, "Are you here alone?"

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

Xia Cheng raised his hand.

The staff was stunned, seeing such a calm and calm person for the first time.

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

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

Clearly said nothing, and ran straight away empty-handed.

It's not so random to take a passport photo!

Mingyan was quite happy, looked at himself in front of the mirror, and said, "It's good."

Xia Cheng was also very happy. He stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and then fiddled with the bangs that made it clear, and said, "So handsome, there is no problem at all."

Staff: "..." Hemp eggs are all the sour smell of love.

He called their makeup artist.

The latter looked at Ming Yan and said, "Sir, let me put on a light makeup for you. You look so young, are you a player of the League A?"

Xia Cheng said proudly, "He's a designer, like a talented young man."

"Wow." The makeup artist was also surprised.

The 3D camera is still very fast, Ming Yan just held the collector's edition packaging of "Blue Star Doomsday" and sat there with a silly smile and it was done.

Xia Cheng looked at him with a smile.

After a while, Xia Cheng suddenly asked thoughtfully: "One of the works with full marks can enter the Platinum Hall, what if there is a second one?"

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 was happy: "What if there are three? I don't have any."

"...This has never happened before." The staff member said, "It is estimated that the chairman will be asked for instructions at that time."

After the filming is over, the crew starts working on the raw footage.

It is said that it can be done in three days at the fastest and seven days at the latest.

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

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

Ming Yan suddenly thought.

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

That night, almost everyone in the hotel was too excited to fall asleep.

The Blue Star Studio group simply held a party overnight, ate barbecue and K-song together, played cards, played various games, and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

And Mingyan followed Xia Cheng to go shopping online.

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

Then Ming Yan didn't know why, and was pulled by Xia Cheng to try on many formal suits.

Xia Cheng said that everything he saw was good-looking, which was simply unprincipled.

Ming Yan is also obsessed with ghosts, and he is very happy for some reason. He bought ten sets in one night.

——For the chief designer of Ming Dynasty, it is too extravagant to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy clothes! tsk tsk tsk!

The next day was December 9th, and the staff of the Outer First League were busy arranging the hall.

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

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

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

He was still thinking about Lan Xing, which made Ming Yan feel very moved.

And Ning Yufeng also brought "inside information" and said, "The doomsday of Blue Star should be stable, congratulations."

Of course, I can't say much about the specific details, but the chairman's words undoubtedly gave Ming Yan a reassurance.

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

Ming Yan said, "I should be back next week."

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

Ming Yan made the final decision and said, "I am free at night, but not necessarily during the day..."

Ning Yufeng immediately said, "Are you going to play with Master Xia during the day?"

Ming Yan: "How do you know?"

Ning Yufeng looked relieved and said, "It seems that they are still friends."

Ming Yan: "?" If you are not friends, can you still break up the relationship?

All in all, the two still booked a movie.

With less than 30 hours left until the award ceremony, Ming Yan's heartbeat accelerated a bit.

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

...

Around 15:40 pm on December 10th.

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

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

A car parked at the door in order.

More than 1,000 people attended the conference, each of whom is well-known in the industry.

Ming Yan took a deep breath, adjusted his tie, and looked back at the people behind him.

The entire Blue Star production team is here, all 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 and watched the live broadcast on the big screen in the center.

The audience held their breaths for fear of missing a shot.

Someone whispered: "The boss is really handsome."

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

Inside the Royal Academy.

Today's second canteen was full in advance because the live broadcast of the League A's annual game will be live.

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

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..."

"I've been on the League One scene for more than three years after graduation. When will I be able to have this strength..."

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

Inside the residence.

Mingyan's former adoptive mother opened the live broadcast.

"Old man, it was stated clearly that the scene last year..."

"Don't look, I don't even look when I jump from here!"

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

"Is this Xiaoman?"

"The little girl dresses up so well!"

"Is that her boss? Tsk tsk tsk, young and promising, a golden tortoise-in-law, do you have a partner now?"

Varian's wife, the families of many staff members, industry insiders in the Sixth Star Province, and even everyone in the Blue Star Research Institute who are busy...

Of course, we must not forget the members of the Ming Cult.

Before the live broadcast.

"This year's game of the year should be our sixth star province, right?"

"It's still Blue Star's greatness, so I have to accept it. What do you think of the young man now, how does his head grow?"

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

The process of the ceremony was simple and clear. It was announced from the "Mobile Game of the Year" and soon came to the "Best Story Award".

For each nominated work, there is a CG on the big screen, some are touching ending clips, and some are well-known reversal plots...

Finally, as soon as the screen turned, I saw a white dragon rising into the sky.

In an instant, the water splashed all over, and behind the waterfall-like water curtain, there was a green city ruins.

The host said: "In previous years, we have seen a lot of reality, a lot of virtual, and a lot of beautiful scenery. But there has never been a place that can make us so linger; there has never been a role that can make us She was so worried.

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

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

""Blue Star Doomsday", Blue Star Studio!"

On the big screen, the LOGO of Bluestar appeared.

The background music sounded, and it was the theme song "TheEarthTOPOLOGIUM" of "Blue Star Doomsday".

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, is it the senior who went up to receive the award?"

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

The "Best Story Award" trophy is quite interesting, in the shape of a quill pen and a parchment scroll.

Mingyan picked up the trophy, stood in front of the microphone, thought about it, and said, "Thank you to everyone in Bluestar Studio, and to all the players who support us. Thank you."

End of speech.

A total of three short sentences, 24 words.

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

I have never seen such a calm winner!

Looking 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 area that Ming Yan is not good at.

Or, in all areas related to speaking, he is not good at it.

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 prepared several sets of acceptance speeches for Mingyan, but they were all passed by Mingyan.

Ming Yan said: "There is nothing I want to say to others, and I have nothing to say to the 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 players and players.

Delicious eggs are the greatest comfort of hens.

Ming Yan, who accepted the award and stepped down, threw the trophy to everyone in the Blue Star Studio with a smile.

They discuss each other in whispers:

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

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

"Having already won an award, does that mean the best of the year is over?"

"Does the League A have this rule? I'm so nervous about what you said..."
