After saying that, the car drove away.
Kerry stood there, speechless.
Afterwards, the photo was still posted in the tabloids with a rather bizarre headline—they actually thought that Chief Engineer Ming was going to collaborate with the local company Vayela again, so he had a late-night meeting with Vayela's young master, Kerry, at a small club.
Such nonsense is something that those in the know will naturally laugh off.
Nowadays, if Blue Star Studio wants to publish a game, it will never be Mingyan personally involved; instead, they should be the ones coming to Blue Star.
Xia Cheng was quite curious: "You went to the class reunion?"
He said clearly, "I didn't make it, but I ran into Krili." Then he gave a brief account of what had happened.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Cheng grinned from ear to ear and happily went to the kitchen to personally fry the steak.
Clearly stated: "?"
Xia Cheng hummed a song while grilling the steak, happily saying, "Hahahaha, that's right, my Ming Xiaoyan is just that slow! Even if I gave him another chance, even if I gave him ten more years, he still wouldn't have a chance!"
Mingyan was stunned: "Huh? Why am I so slow?"
Xia Cheng turned his head and kissed him, smiling as he said, "It's nothing, darling, nothing happened. You can continue working on your design drafts. I'll praise you at dinner!"
...
Time flies, and in September of this year, it was time for the new season of League of Legends.
Both studios simultaneously began their holidays, allowing designers to enjoy themselves with the public and watch this year's competitions with players.
While many people were laughing and cheering for their favorite teams, Mingyan and Xia Cheng boarded a spaceship bound for the Central Star Province.
They will first go to the Xia family home for a period of time to hold an engagement ceremony.
When the spaceship arrived at its destination, Mingyan adjusted to the time difference and then started getting to know Xia Cheng's relatives.
This is really a tiring job, because you always have to be careful when dealing with elders; and when dealing with younger people—
"Ah, it's the cult leader! Cult leader, could you please sign my 'Blue Star Apocalypse' collector's edition?"
Yes, almost all young people today know Mingyan.
One of the boys even looked at Xia Cheng and whispered to Mingyan, "Master, my uncle is a bit simple-minded. If he does anything bad, just tell me, and I'll help you!"
He said, "Thank you for your concern..." But you're only 13 years old.
Xia Cheng slapped his nephew on the head: "What are you doing! Trying to steal your uncle's girlfriend! You won't get the chance!"
The Xia family has a large population and many rules, but everyone in the family is a well-educated elite, so they certainly wouldn't make things difficult for the young couple.
After meeting their elders, the two then entered a more relaxed vacation period.
Incidentally, with Xia Cheng's parents as witnesses, they officially got engaged through a small dinner party.
There weren't many people there; it was just one small family watching the newlyweds exchange rings.
Xia Cheng put on the ring and spent the whole night reading Ming Yan's story, his eyes filled with tears.
Clearly stated: "?"
Xia Cheng: "It was really too difficult for me to win you over..."
Mingyan scratched his nose: "I think I'm pretty easy to pursue. After all, I even took the initiative to suggest we try dating back then. And then I saw how handsome you were, and somehow I ended up spending ten years of my life on you..."
Xia Cheng's eyes welled up with tears: "Darling, do you really think you're so easy to win over? Did you genuinely believe at the press conference that the Mortal Soul was so simple to make?"
Mingyan replied blankly, "Yes."
Xia Cheng: "..." Mom, I got engaged to the devil today, I'm so happy...
...
In October, the Dragon Slayer Studio released the beta version of "Game Creators" and even opened it for testing on the Blue Star platform.
This practice is actually quite common, but it's usually used by small companies that don't have enough funds to release test content in advance to recoup their investment so they can continue operating.
This time, the Dragon Slayer Studio didn't expect to make money from this; instead, they genuinely opened it up to players for testing so that they could make further changes to the game content.
Meanwhile, in another province, Mingyan was also on vacation with Xia Cheng.
The two went to an internet cafe, logged into the Blue Star platform, and remotely tested "Game Creators".
During the League of Legends finals, almost half of the players in internet cafes were either playing League of Legends or simply watching the finals.
Another third are playing other games on BlueStar, including online games like "Xia Ke Xing" and even single-player games—all because they prefer the high-end equipment in internet cafes, such as gaming pods.
Mingyan first opened his work email and contacted his hometown in the Sixth Star Province via the sub-light speed channel to deal with the matters that had been going on for the past few days.
Xia Cheng then happily went in to experience "Game Creators".
The game's backstory is quite simple: a college student starts a business, living in a rented attic and diligently making games using his only laptop.
I designed it myself, programmed it myself, and found the art resources myself.
Players don't need to learn all of this; it's mostly done by the little protagonist.
The main character and other employees all have ability data, including six basic abilities: design, copywriting, art, programming, sound effects, and management. Each of these abilities affects some of the game's stats.
There are so many things to consider when making a game. Players immediately have to choose the game genre: RPG, SLG, Action, Visual Novel...
