[The leader is awesome!! Earth is awesome!!]
[I'm as nervous as if my wife were giving birth! The winners are being announced on the 10th. Can Blue Star win Game of the Year?]
Don't get your hopes up too high; it's probably just a runner-up finish. This year's second-best province's Simulation League 16 is also a perfect masterpiece, and it's a complete series that's been running for a long time—its experience is incomparable.
I cried three times during the 36-hour playthrough. I'd only truly accept "World War Z" as the game's best.
[If Blue Star can win any award, I'll buy 100 copies of each game for them. I'm making this a promise!]
I knew it would be the best story-driven game of the year the moment Russo appeared.
December 10th is the day the winners will be officially announced, and it is also the day the League One will hold an awards ceremony and banquet.
On the afternoon of the 3rd, everyone from Blue Star Studio had already boarded the ship—yes, through the VIP luxury passage.
Seeing the spaceship docked in the harbor, it was like having a panoramic view of everything below.
Even the flights of the large company next door, which carry 3,000 passengers, look smaller in comparison.
Everyone was trembling with fear.
Young Master Xia's private spaceship is actually a super-large 757 model, the kind that could be used directly as a passenger spaceship for flights.
Inside, however, it has been transformed into a super luxurious leisure and entertainment facility.
The hotel boasts a restaurant, reception room, ballroom, swimming pool, entertainment room, study, home theater, indoor hot spring and sauna... everything you could need.
Xia Cheng, however, found the spaceship unremarkable and had casually suggested that he would personally escort Ming Yan and his party there.
Mingyan was actually intimidated and said, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
Xia Cheng said, "No, no, you know I go home every year at the end of the year, and this time it's just on the way."
He said it as casually as if he were driving a colleague home from get off work.
Indeed, the Xia family is not from the Sixth Star Province and does not have the custom of celebrating the Lunar New Year. Xia Cheng usually returns home once a year around mid-December.
—Every time Mingyan thought he was just like everyone else, buying a ticket to board the ship and go home, at most buying a luxury first-class cabin.
—To my utter surprise, he left using his own private spaceship!
It really is true that "poverty limits my imagination".
Chapter 60 Award Ceremony
Even using the faster-than-light travel route, the spaceship is expected to take about 50 hours to reach its destination.
During this time, the entertainment facilities above suddenly became incredibly valuable.
At first, the group from Lanxing were very cautious and dared not touch the luxury equipment they did not understand, but they gradually relaxed later.
Because Xia Cheng was still the same Xia Cheng they knew, very approachable, and easily became one of them.
Mingyan, on the other hand, felt very unaccustomed to suddenly not having to work overtime.
On the first day, he spent his time in the entertainment hall, playing the second perfect masterpiece of the year on VR equipment—"Simulated League 16" from the Second Star Province.
As the name suggests, this is a game themed around the League of Legends esports competition.
The core gameplay involves players taking on the role of an esports club owner, buying, training, and scouting esports players, and using limited funds to compete for better rankings.
Of course, some people play this game as a "collecting players" game; others play it as a stock trading game, buying low and selling high with great enthusiasm.
Even more extreme, some people are playing "harem building" games...
This product is from a long-established brand; its highest rating to date is 9.5.
This year, all its systems are handled perfectly and seamlessly, and it has also introduced new game designs, making it extremely playable. No wonder this game has achieved a perfect score.
Of the twelve nominated works, the most competitive are generally considered to be "Simulation League 16" and "Blue Star Apocalypse".
To be honest, Mingyan is very confident in his work, but he doesn't understand the scoring method of the A-League.
If the judges do indeed favor established films that are nominated every year but never win, then "Blue Star Apocalypse" can only try its best to win another "Best Story Award".
As Mingyan was thinking, he saw Xia Cheng walking over.
On the private spaceship, everyone was dressed casually. Xia Cheng was wearing a shirt today, and he looked like a promising young man.
"Playing a simulated League of Legends match?" Xia Cheng asked with a smile. "Want to play a round online?"
Mingyan nodded and made room for Xia Cheng.
In the game, the flags of both clubs were raised simultaneously, and their respective esports players began to engage in fierce battles under the command of their coaches.
The two continued chatting aimlessly while playing.
Xia Cheng asked, "Are you getting used to the boat? Have you experienced seasickness or anything like that?"
Ming said, "Are larger spaceships more stable? I didn't feel any turbulence."
Xia Cheng: "That makes sense. Adding a fixed anchor to the outside of this spaceship should make it more stable."
"The 757 model is a super-large model that came out last year, right? I heard it cost over a billion to build?" Mingyan asked curiously.
Xia Cheng laughed and said, "I don't know the specifics either. I just handed it over to the intermediary to handle. This ship only arrived at the beginning of the year, and with the renovations, it cost a total of 2.6 billion."
Clearly stated: "..."
