In the past few years, they have had all sorts of reasons, excuses, and escape routes.
Things like Chief Designer Ming is too young and inexperienced, Blue Star Games has won too many awards, and the team from the neighboring company, Beyond, has released another great game...
But now Earth is already ten years old! In terms of prestige, it is unparalleled in the world! It feels like it has already become a king and ascended the throne, there is really no higher title to bestow.
At the last discussion, the committee members looked at each other in bewilderment, almost bursting into tears.
—They don't want to give Mingyan this final award anymore! They really need to dig deep and find a few qualified people in the gaming industry to give him the award. Now they have to dig three feet deep and bring out a few senior figures.
But look at the competitive alternatives!
Dragon Slayer Sword Studio?
—That's Chief Engineer Ming's back garden, there's no difference at all!
Chief Engineer Zhuo from the other side of the team?
—The once-powerful person who could save the day with double-yolk eggs has now been poached and gone to Blue Star Studio!
The remaining two or three nominated works, aside from Hunter World, are indeed quite good, but they are really not qualified to compete with the latter.
It's the kind of thing that anyone with eyes can see is a whole level below, and it's simply not convincing.
So this year's winner might once again be taken home by Earth...
While Ning and Feng are on their annual leave, the Jia League is also voting on new policies.
Yes, they are preparing to launch an unprecedented new award called the "Lifetime Achievement Award".
Hopefully, after awarding it to Chief Engineer Ming, their future careers will be easier.
As for Ning Yufeng himself, he also took the opportunity to come and rest and relax for a while.
I still remember that more than ten years ago, he also accepted this job with great enthusiasm. He also loved the game industry, which is why he started as a small tester and gradually got to where he is today.
Back then, he was just like the players here, getting excited and shouting because of the outcome of a match, and even tossing and turning for several nights in a row.
When exactly did I start to gradually lose that enthusiasm when watching games?
When did it start that when a new high-scoring game appears, I no longer have the urge to play it myself, but instead just quietly look at the review reports, or get tired of just watching videos of the game's completion?
Ning and Feng said goodbye and walked slowly into the League of Legends arena.
This game was directly included in the top league back then because of his discovery and strong support.
An exhibition match was being held inside the venue, and the huge crowd of spectators stood up and cheered when they saw something exciting.
Among the competitors was an old acquaintance, "The Goddess's Kiss," who had once been a player in the national competition of the Jia League.
Seven or eight years have passed, and the goddess's kiss has long since retired from the Jia League field, focusing on becoming a top-tier broadcaster at home.
Nowadays, no game has as much traffic as League of Legends, and Goddess's Kiss has become the top player in this region because of his early exposure and fame.
This experienced professional player has retired and returned home. Although he is over thirty years old, he can still show a boyish smile.
The goddess's kiss: "Mwahahahahaha! Eat my big [beep]!"
Ning Yufeng: "?" These days, professional players...?
Commentator A: "Aaaaaaah, is the Red Team going to win? B, if you predict they'll lose, you'll have to do a handstand and have diarrhea!"
Commentator B: "Stop talking, this match is so tense and exciting, I've been taking my pants off and putting them back on so many times, my belt is even loose..."
Ning Yufeng: "???" The commentary now...?
The audience chanted: "If the goddess wins, remember to do a live stream in women's clothing for a day!!!"
"Women's clothing! Women's clothing! Women's clothing!"
Ning Yufeng: "………………" Oh well, maybe it's because I'm not silly enough to fit into the current player community.
You should just go back to being a good chairman.
231. Old classmates
In May, the Blue Star Carnival, the "New Year's Eve" of the gaming industry, once again came to a successful conclusion.
The most outstanding event this year wasn't the League of Legends competition, but the Dragon Hunter Annual Tournament—
Three years after the game's release, top players have finally managed to cultivate dragons with the most perfect stats!
Many of the contestants from this year's competition later posted their profile pages on the forum, attracting a large number of players to view them.
Blue Star has been keeping an eye on things, and has included the first recipients of many achievements and their dragons in the records, and set up a separate area in the Dragon Hunter experience hall for their exhibition.
For example, the ID "Mary Sue" has a Rainbow Spectrum VII Dragon! It is one of the most valuable dragons in the entire game. The dragon egg auction caused a sensation back then and was eventually sold for 2.24 million.
The ID "Black Rose" is a perfectly mutated black dragon with royal blood among pure bloodlines. It took a total of 256 adult mutated black dragons to cultivate.
The ID "Little Blue Elf" is a hybrid dragon, the rarest hybrid dragon in the history of "Dragon Hunter," bar none, because its parents were all raised using special dragons. Furthermore, its family tree even includes the purple starry dragon from Master Ming!
The ID "Lightning" is the champion dragon of the third Hunter Tournament! It is a small dragon with a ladder pattern from the Red Dragon and the Crystal Dragon, with a full six mutated skills and perfect physical data.
These little dragons, whether majestic, beautiful, or possessing unique appearances and achievements, all had 3D photos taken with their owners and recorded in the experience center.
Players who pass by taking photos, if they know even a little about raising dragons, will exclaim in surprise upon seeing the nameplates below.
Because these little dragons are like account achievement systems in other games, you can immediately see how much effort, money, and resources a player has spent on them.
