We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 125 Blue Star Day! The highly sought-after novel "Myth"! (Please subscribe!!!)
After Sun Wukong decided to travel west, the eighty-one tribulations began.

All the players were in an uproar.

After Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, and Wang Lin returned to Huaguo Mountain, they discussed it extensively with Qiao Liang.

Players from Huaguo Mountain, Guanjiang Estuary, Heavenly Court, and other places were all attracted and started excitedly discussing it.

Huaguo Mountain is now completely bustling with activity.

Seeing this, Lin's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. He suddenly said to Chen Guoguo, "Old Chen, I have something to do, so I'll log off first."

"Huh?" Chen Guoguo was just as excited as everyone else.

After all, anyone who has read "Journey to the West" is bound to be curious about the eighty-one tribulations.

She was no exception to the custom, and was just about to discuss with "Lin" how the westward journey would unfold.

Then I heard "Lin" say he was going offline?

Chen Guoguo's expression froze instantly.

Should I log off now?
"Oh, by the way, I've seen the house designs in Huaguo Mountain. They're amazing. No wonder you're a top student from Imperial University. Keep it up. I'll be going now."

Remembering something, Lin praised Chen Guoguo again before finally logging off and disappearing from Chen Guoguo's sight, giving her no chance to react.

Chen Guoguo was both amused and exasperated upon seeing this.

This isn't something she did all by herself.

Besides her, among the many players in Huaguo Mountain, there are quite a few from all walks of life, including those who studied civil engineering, landscape architecture, and design.

The new Huaguo Mountain was built through the concerted efforts of everyone.

However, Chen Guoguo was still very happy when "Lin" praised her.

Lin suddenly went offline.

Chen Guoguo also explained to the viewers in the live stream, "Perhaps the eighty-one tribulations are about to begin, and Lin, as an employee of Dongqing, is quite busy right now, so he was in a hurry to log off..."

The live stream chat was flooded with a dense barrage of comments.

……

……

Dongqing Technology.

Lin Dong's office.

After logging off, Lin Dong had an excited expression on his face.

The eighty-one tribulations have begun.

"It seems the game has shifted a little, but not too much," Lin Dong thought to himself.

That's right, the player "Lin" who keeps talking to Chen Guoguo in the game is none other than Lin Dong himself.

Although it's not particularly outstanding in the game.

But he has always played games; he played them during the closed beta when the game was first released.

As ordinary players participate in the mythological world, they also look for any problems with the game and correct them promptly if necessary.

My acquaintance with Chen Guoguo was purely by chance, but "The Myth" was able to help Chen Guoguo.

Lin Dong was still very pleased.

He likes casual players like Chen Guoguo, who honestly play games and doesn't change the plot at all.

Unlike Qiao Liang and his group, who always seem to want to do something big.

Because of the relationship between ID and identity.

Some people in Chen Guoguo's live stream boldly speculated that he might be Lin Dong, since it's easy to make that connection.

But what can be done if Lin Dong denies it outright, or even if there is only suspicion?

Rather than doubting that he was Lin Dong, what I really find hard to believe is that it was so easy to meet the chief designer of the game "Myth".

So the impact is actually not significant.

And at this time.

"Junior."

The door to Lin Dong's office was pushed open.

Mu Wanqing came in with several documents, her face full of joy, and said, "I checked the film and television adaptation for you, and there are no problems. Qiu Lin is quite concerned about it."

She was initially very upset that Lin Qiulin hadn't told her about the film adaptation and was prepared to teach Lin Qiulin a lesson.

When they arrived at Xuefeng Film and Television, they discovered that Lin Qiulin was truly dedicated to the adaptation of Journey to the West into a film and television series, completely refusing to accept substandard work, and was genuinely willing to invest heavily.

They say things like, "Journey to the West is a modern classic, and we should treat it like a classic. If we're going to do it, we have to do it the best we can."

Some things, even Mu Wanqing thought were very good, but Lin Qiulin still thought they were not good enough. He was extremely demanding. It is said that the dignified director of Xuefeng, who is also Lin Qiulin's uncle, was so frightened that he ran away and left the work to his subordinates, leaving them to live in dire straits.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing knew that she didn't need to worry about leaving this matter to Lin Qiulin.

Lin Qiulin was so conscientious and responsible, Mu Wanqing naturally couldn't possibly give him a severe scolding; that would be too much of a waste.

So after giving Lin Qiulin a little lesson, making him cry and beg for forgiveness, promising never to do it again,

Mu Wanqing returned satisfied.

"And then there's our junior, the orders for our 'Myth' merchandise figures are about to explode! I've already bought a manufacturing plant, and we'll start production right away!" Mu Wanqing said excitedly.

These are all genuine benefits.

Gaming laptops have already sold tens of millions of copies, and the number is still growing, so their future prospects are promising.

These days, even merchandise like figurines are incredibly popular.

Go on like this.

As a new company, Dongqing Technology may become a top company in the gaming industry, or even an industry leader, based on just one game.

This is so exaggerated, it's unbelievable!

Even when Mu Wanqing and Lin Dong started the company together, they never imagined that they could win another World Tour Gold Award.

But now, we see the hope that small companies can become industry leaders.

"That's really great! We'll get better and better in the future, I promise you, senior." Although Lin Dong had expected this, he still smiled and said happily.

Mu Wanqing was somewhat surprised, as she rarely heard Lin Dong say such encouraging words. A slight smile appeared on her lips: "Junior seems to be in a very good mood."

“Yes.” Lin Dong nodded matter-of-factly.

With the eighty-one tribulations beginning, the filming of Journey to the West proceeded smoothly, and related figurines sold out... Good news kept coming one after another, especially with the plot returning to normal. How could he not be happy?

"As long as you're happy, junior." Mu Wanqing nodded, her mood improving. "But junior, the game will be launching an event soon, so remember to submit your event planning proposal as soon as possible."

"An event?" Lin Dong was taken aback.

"Junior, you forgot! The Blue Star Festival is coming soon! We'll definitely be putting on an event then." Mu Wanqing reminded Lin Dong in surprise when she saw him lost in thought.

Lin Dong suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that there really was such a thing.

This is similar to the game events that various games would launch during holidays in my previous life.

On Earth, games naturally hold events to celebrate festivals. God of War did this before, and Myth is no exception.

"I understand, leave it to me with confidence," Lin Dong said with a smile, snapping out of his daze.

Mu Wanqing nodded, completely relieved.

……

……

at the same time.

Zhongzhou, headquarters of World Travel.

"Keep it up, Lao Li! How's the review process going for your war-themed games?"

"Oh, not bad, I think this one is pretty good."

"Old Zhang, I think this historical game is pretty good. Why don't you consider it?"

"What? You haven't selected the gold award yet? Sigh~ I'm not saying this, but your work efficiency is really slow, unlike us, we selected it on the first day."

"..."

The judges and experts from the mythology section.

They strolled leisurely through various game areas, offering their opinions and comments.

The judges and experts from other game sections.

They all glared at the group of guys with gritted teeth.

do not know why.

They always thought these guys in the mythology section were...

Ever since they came back from interviewing Dong Qing, they've all stopped acting and become incredibly arrogant, even going so far as to show off in other areas.

Gold Medal?

As the most important award in each region!
Generally speaking, that's something that can be decided right now.

It would be abnormal to make a decision now!

The key issue is that everyone is busy, but seeing the Mythical Zone suddenly have a lot less work because the gold award has been decided, and they're not only idle but also getting angry, it's infuriating! Of course, this only applies to a portion of the Mythical Zone.

It's not their fault either.

In previous years, the Mythology Zone was one of the busiest departments.

Other departments have frequently gone to the mythology section to make sarcastic remarks.

This year, the Myth Zone finally seized the opportunity, so how could we not jump back?

Wang Jingrui, the minister of the Mythology District, was carrying a teacup on his way back to his office when he bumped into Liu Yanbo, the minister of the History District. He couldn't help but smile and cheerfully said:

"Old Liu, I see you guys in history are really busy right now. Do you want us to lend a hand? If you ask, I might consider it."

He's a very steady person and has never gone to other districts to show off, but this time, seeing his longtime friend, he couldn't help but brag a little.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanbo's expression darkened immediately. He said, "Your men do this to me, and now you're doing the same thing? But no need! We'll handle it quickly!"

"Really not? We're like family, don't be stubborn if you need help," Wang Jingrui said with a grin.

"No need! I've already solved the problem. I just reported it to the higher-ups and asked them to include 'Mythology' in our history category. They said they'd consider it. Once that's done, our history category's gold medal will be no problem," Liu Yanbo said.

Wang Jingrui's face fell upon hearing this: "What the hell? You're including 'Mythology' in the history category?"

He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

This old bastard, do you want to listen to what you're saying?
How could a game that's clearly categorized as mythology somehow stray into historical fiction?
"What nonsense are you spouting again, Lao Liu?" Wang Jingrui complained, "You're so busy you're starting to ramble."

"I'm not making this up! Some of our staff have studied 'The Myth.' The Tang Dynasty in the game, the ancient court, is simply breathtaking. Although it's an alternate history, the structure is clear, the logic is rigorous, and it's absolutely brilliant and awe-inspiring. Just based on the Tang Dynasty alone, it's completely worthy of being labeled as part of our history," Liu Yanbo retorted.

He wasn't talking nonsense or making things up; there was reason and evidence to back it up.

If the historical background depicted by an ancient dynasty like the Tang Dynasty can't be called history, then what kind of game can it be?
"Fine, fine, even if what you said makes sense, his major category is definitely our mythology category, right? Adding two major categories and winning gold awards in two major categories, there's never been a precedent like this before." Wang Jingrui was even more speechless.

"If there's no precedent, then we'll create one! Do you expect me to give the history gold medal not to the Tang Dynasty, but to some other scoundrel?" Liu Yanbo said with great momentum.

Wang Jingrui: "..."

Wang Jingrui felt that Liu Yanbo was indulging in wishful thinking.

And compared to other historical games set in the Tang Dynasty, they're all inferior? That's an exaggeration.

He didn't pay much attention to the Tang Dynasty in the mythological background.

Upon seeing several more people approaching, he immediately called out, "Old Zhang, Old He, Old Chen, tell me about Old Liu. This guy actually wants to add a historical category to 'Mythology.' Don't you think that's outrageous?"

The three of them heard what Wang Jingrui said.

Instead of looking at Liu Yanbo, they glared fiercely at Wang Jingrui and spoke.

"What's wrong with adding it to the history category? I'm even planning to add 'Mythology' to the war category. Look at all the great battles in 'Mythology,' how spectacular and magnificent they are! Can you say that's not war?"

"Exactly, I think the supernatural genre is also very suitable for 'Myth'. If you pay attention to the players in the underworld, with all the gods and ghosts, you will find that, just looking at the underworld players, 'Myth' is a supernatural game."

"The leisure category is also good. Look at 'The Myth', it has painting, music, design, building houses, cooking... which one doesn't it have? I think it's quite suitable for the leisure category."

“Old Wang, we’ve all mentioned the classification issue to the higher-ups. This game has so many ways to play, it shouldn’t be something that only one person, Myth Classification, should be responsible for.”

"..."

Wang Jingrui's heart skipped a beat when he heard these words.

broken.

This is aimed at him.

He realized that this wasn't about "Mythology" at all.

This is clearly a veiled reference to their mythology section!

It seems those guys have really gone too far lately, and have really angered everyone.

One or two, Wang Jingrui could not care, and even laugh at them, thinking they were delusional.

But if so many people are reporting this to higher authorities... then the mythology does indeed contain the elements they mentioned.

Wang Jingrui panicked completely.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pushed them aside and headed straight for the boss's office.

Upon entering the office.

He couldn't wait to speak: "President Li, I heard that when Lao Wang and the others came, they talked to you about adding a category to 'Myth'..."

The middle-aged man, Mr. Li, was engrossed in reading "Journey to the West" when he saw Wang Jingrui enter. Upon hearing his words, he looked up and exclaimed, "Ah, Mr. Wang, you've come at the right time! Yes, that's right. I was just about to come and have a chat with you."

"Mr. Li, don't listen to them! This is utter nonsense! One game, so many categories, so many gold awards, isn't this chaos? This has never happened before," Wang Jingrui said hurriedly.

He had no doubt.

Once Mythology is categorized, it will inevitably win the gold award in that category.

Mythology is already a popular category, and if Mythology can lead by a wide margin in popular categories, what need is there to say about other categories?

Even if you add up all the games in all categories, the best-performing one so far only sells two-thirds of the sales of "Myth".

And this gap continues to widen.

"Haha, Lao Wang, don't get so excited about this. Since so many people have brought it up, I plan to hold a meeting to discuss it with everyone. As you said, this is something that has never happened before, and the company will consider it carefully." President Li placed the Journey to the West book on the table and said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingrui felt much more at ease.

"Let's talk about it after the Blue Star Festival," said General Manager Li.

Wang Jingrui nodded.

He understood what President Li was talking about.

Blue Star Festival.

Named after the blue planet.

Nature is the most important festival on Earth.

When the Qin dynasty unified the world, it changed the name of the country to Xia and declared global unification.

The Blue Star Festival is the day the Great Xia Dynasty was founded.

While there may be many different festivals across the eight continents, Blue Star Day is undoubtedly one of the most important festivals in the world.

It was a day that shook the world, and it was also a day that shook the gaming industry.

Any game that doesn't hold a celebratory event on this day will be bombarded with criticism and trend on social media.

The quality of an activity is also a standard for evaluating a game.

The reason World Tour set the competition at this time is surely to test the capabilities of each company in this area.
of course.

Given the current scale of "The Myth", even if its activities are a bit lackluster, it won't have much of an impact.

Although the entire internet is certainly very excited about "The Myth".

"Oh, by the way, Lao Wang, a lot of people have told me that your department has been too relaxed lately. So, besides 'Myth,' please select another game based on the gold award criteria, just in case."

After all, if something unexpected happens and "Myth" doesn't participate in the gold award selection, at least there will be another game to take its place, right? Although adding so many categories is unlikely, some of our upper management have already suggested that with "Myth's" achievements, winning a small gold award might be a bit of a waste of its potential," said General Manager Li.

Wang Jingrui: "???"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jingrui's expression turned completely blank.

He didn't even know how he got out of Mr. Li's office.

Anyway...

Damn! I'm going to be busy again!
"It's all those kids' fault, they got too cocky!"

Wang Jingrui, his face dark with anger, began to curse and storm off toward his department.

……

……

Dongqing Technology.

After Mu Wanqing left, Lin Dong...

I paced back and forth in the office, constantly thinking about what kind of activities to do for the Blue Star Festival's "Mythology".

After all, this kind of thing can't be taken lightly.

He had considered whether to come up with a story, such as a Nezha-like instance, or create an Erlang Shen or other mythological instance as an event.

But even though it works, it always feels like something is missing.

He kept thinking until he saw the Sun Wukong figurine on his desk. Suddenly, he paused, thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

I keep thinking about and refining my ideas in my mind.

The final conclusion is—it's feasible!
Without the slightest hesitation, he began writing the event plan.

And the more I think about it, the more excited I get.

He can guarantee that once this event is launched, it will definitely cause a frenzy among all players!
