Whether it's industry insiders, gamers, or even casual observers, everyone regards it as the top prize in the gaming industry.
The live broadcast viewership ratings are over 10% every year, and it is always rebroadcast across the entire network afterwards, with a viewership of over 15 billion.
There is no doubt that every employee who was invited wanted to go.
—I'd love to go! Being invited to the ceremony is itself a symbol of status and honor.
Finally, Mingyan counted, and there were a total of 62 people including himself.
First, you need to get a passport for interstellar travel, and then book your ship ticket to the Central Star Province in advance...
The topic of boat tickets falls outside Mingyan's area of expertise.
Just as he was worrying about whether he could delegate the task to his secretary, Xia Cheng called again.
Xia Cheng, as always, got straight to the point, saying, "Congratulations on your double nomination for Blue Star Apocalypse!"
Mingyan didn't stand on ceremony and asked, "I'm actually worried about getting boat tickets to the ceremony. Do you have any recommendations for flights?"
Xia Cheng smiled and said, "There's a class coming up soon. I'll send you the code name in a bit, and you can see if the time is suitable."
Xia Cheng recommended a luxury spaceship, the kind that departs from a dedicated spaceport and has a VIP boarding channel.
Mingyan was still looking up how much a ticket cost when he was halfway through watching the movie.
—Even though the first-tier league will cover all expenses, they can't go too far, can they?
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in," Mingyan said casually.
The door was gently opened, and several employees were huddled together outside.
Varian was pushed to the front—he'd been working overtime on games in the dark room lately, so his face was covered in a thick beard, with two small eyes nestled in it.
Varian: "Boss, we want to discuss something with you..."
“???” Mingyan said, “Discussion is one thing, but you should put Xixi down first.”
That's right, Varian was also holding a large golden retriever in his arms.
Xixi was completely bewildered. She was being held so tightly that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she turned her little head left and right as she looked at everyone.
Varian said awkwardly, "Boss, since our entire production team is going to Central Star Province, wouldn't it be best to bring our spokesperson along too?"
Xixi pricked up her ears, as if sensing that everyone was talking about her, and wagged her tail happily.
This is a little angel of Earth, one of the pillars of strength for so many people working overtime...
Mingyan fell into deep thought.
A moment later, in a club.
Xia Cheng received another proactive communication request from Ming Yan.
Young Master Xia, who was having afternoon tea, was overjoyed and answered the phone with a gesture.
There were several wealthy young men with him, who, seeing this, deliberately avoided eye contact.
Xia Cheng's voice was gentle as he said, "Xixi? Is that your golden retriever?... Get on the spaceship, no problem, no problem, faster-than-light travel is also possible. Yeah, no problem..."
The communication was brief, but Xia Cheng's mood suddenly improved dramatically.
"Okay! I'll come over for dinner tonight!"
After the communication ended, one of Xia Cheng's companions asked curiously, "Are dogs and people allowed on spaceships now? Which airline allowed it?"
Xia Cheng replied blankly, "I don't know."
"So what you just said, 'no problem'?"
“Oh,” Xia Cheng laughed, “A private spaceship, you can bring whatever you want.”
"..."
On the other hand, Mingyan was quite happy.
—Clearly, even the fossil contestant Mingyan doesn't have that much knowledge in this area.
After receiving a positive response, he nodded to the employees who were eagerly waiting.
"Yay!"
The crowd cheered and left, not forgetting to pick up the bewildered Xixi again.
Let's go out for a hot pot buffet tonight to celebrate!
The cafeteria at Lanxing Building is nearing completion. Recently, a self-service hot pot restaurant has opened on the second floor, where more than sixty people can share three super-large tables to eat together.
After finishing the celebratory dinner, Mingyan rushed off to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio.
Compared to the treatment on Earth, this Dragon Slayer Sword is practically a "smaller account."
The number of employees is already small, and Mingyan, who is both the boss and the chief designer, doesn't go there often. The daily affairs are managed by the deputy chief engineer.
It was made clear that he would have to go to the Central Star Province this time, and conservatively estimated that he would be away for at least a week.
Since it's a cross-province trip, news won't spread very quickly, so Mingyan said he needed to prepare the itinerary in advance to avoid any mishaps while he was away.
