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

Chapter 132 A Legendary Award! A World First! (Please Subscribe!!!)
And just as the Eastern Qing government was being attacked.

The outside world at this moment.

The news about the limited-time event dungeon in "Myth" has once again caused a stir online.

Headlines like "Is the Great Sage still a horse?", "No one can pass! The Myth Blue Star Festival event has an insane difficulty", "Do you think you're the Great Sage Equal to Heaven just because you're playing a monkey?", and "Lin She has no heart" are constantly trending on various lists.

The topic has sparked heated discussions among many players online, creating quite a buzz.

……

at the same time.

Zhongzhou, the official headquarters of World Tour.

At this moment, the ministers from various regions, as well as the company's senior executives, have all gathered together.

The meeting discussed the matter raised by the department heads last time, which involved adding "Mythology" to the category.

Everyone present.

Everyone at the meeting was chatting and laughing.

Only Wang Jingrui, the minister of the Mythology District, sat in his seat with a gloomy face.

He glared at everyone present with a sinister look on his face, his expression one of gritted teeth.

Because of these people, General Manager Li requested that another gold award be selected. Their Myth Zone has been incredibly busy lately.

The delays have even made it so that I'm almost overwhelmed with work!

"Wow, The Myth is really amazing. They did such a great job with the Blue Star Festival. I see them all over the trending topics."

"Haha, I've had my eye on them for a long time, and they certainly didn't disappoint."

"Although they're getting a lot of attention, I see a lot of people criticizing them. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Oh, what's wrong, Lao Liu? A lot of people are criticizing it, so you're not going to publish 'Myth' anymore? That's perfect..."

"How could that be! Even if something goes wrong with 'The Myth' tomorrow, I'll still make it happen today. Whether it becomes a hit or not, it'll still be a hit. Besides, I believe in that designer, Lin; he's a true genius!"

"Hahaha."

The ministers from various regions were laughing and chatting, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere at the meeting.

They were mostly middle-aged men, but when they talked about "The Myth," they were all very talkative.

Some people like the mythology itself, while others prefer Journey to the West.

And it was during this time of perfect harmony.

Wang Jingrui, however, was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and roared:

"I disagree! Absolutely disagree! To include 'Myth' in so many of your categories and get so many gold awards in those categories is just bullshit! Not only is there no precedent, but even if we did do that, players from other regions would definitely have objections!"

Everyone was shocked.

Upon hearing this, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Looking at Wang Jingrui, he sighed:
"I think the players shouldn't have any objections. Many of our casual players have gone to play 'Myth'. If the gold prize in the casual area is really awarded to 'Myth', I feel that there will be more surprised players than those who have objections."

"Yes, it's similar on our end. The reason we brought this up in the meeting wasn't without reason."

"Old Wang, we understand you, but don't you want to see 'The Myth' reach even greater heights? He clearly has the ability to do it."

"It's a precipitous lead, unmatched by any of the gold medal winners in previous years. Moreover, 'Journey to the West' has gained recognition from many fields, including literature, Taoism, and Buddhism. Winning only one gold medal would be a waste of its talent."

"If there's no precedent, create one. Aren't precedents created by people? Now's the perfect time! 'Myth' could be so much better, yet you're stopping it. Old Wang, how can you be so selfish?"

The department heads took turns criticizing Wang Jingrui in deep voices.

He would shake his head from time to time, as if Wang Jingrui had committed some heinous crime.

Wang Jingrui almost laughed out of anger after hearing this.

He's selfish?!
If they actually do that, the only ones who will suffer losses are the mythology section.

You guys are just picking the fruits of others' labor, getting benefits for nothing, of course you're happy to do so.

I've told you everything, good and bad.

Of course, it's not that he didn't want "The Myth" to be better, but... he still felt a little unwilling.

"Alright." Mr. Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, interrupted the argument and said with a light laugh, "Old Wang is right. It is indeed inappropriate for a game to have so many categories and win so many gold awards. It is also unfair to other games."

"President Li." Upon hearing this, Wang Jingrui was deeply moved to see his boss standing on his side.

The others exchanged glances, then looked at President Li, waiting for him to continue.

“However, Lao Wang,” President Li said, looking at Wang Jingrui, “as I told you last time, although it is indeed inappropriate to add so many categories to ‘Myth,’ the company has decided to create an independent award for ‘Myth,’ an award that surpasses the gold awards of all the major categories.”

Hear this.

The meeting was in an uproar.

Their faces were filled with shock, and they discussed the matter animatedly.

After all, it's an additional award, and one that surpasses all the gold awards in the various categories.

This is no less exaggerated than adding numerous categories to "Mythology".

In some ways, this is even more outrageous.

There is truly no precedent.

"Actually, the company has had this idea for a long time, but we just haven't had the opportunity yet." General Manager Li said with a light laugh, "Over the years, there have been many excellent games on the market, but none have reached the level of 'Myth'. So 'Myth' gave Shiyou this opportunity."

"But Mr. Li, with this award, we might have 'Myth' winning it today, but next year, we might not have any games that can win this award," someone said anxiously.

Mr. Li's expression remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "The legendary award is given to legendary games. If no subsequent games can be called legendary, then why not just not give it to them? That's the significance of this award."

In the conference room.

The crowd erupted in another uproar, discussing the matter amongst themselves.

If we follow this line of reasoning...

That award is positioned way too high.

The World Series of Games is the world's largest gaming competition, and the gold medal is its highest honor, enjoying a prestigious reputation worldwide.

The award that Mr. Li mentioned was announced.

This would likely cause a huge uproar worldwide.

of course.

As people working in the gaming industry, they understood what this award meant, and they all looked excited.

A legend, a true legend. If no one wins this award for a long time after "The Myth," it might even become a legend in itself.

"Mr. Li, I still think it's too exaggerated. While 'The Myth' is indeed very good, this award is still too ostentatious. It's hard to say whether it can live up to such fame," someone shook their head and couldn't help but remind them.

The award is good.

But it complements games.

If "Myth" wins an award but then flops, the award will become a global laughing stock and damage the reputation of the World Travel Industry.

It might not matter if the gold award-winning work is a failure, after all, the game was indeed excellent when it was judged. If it fails later, what does that have to do with World Game?
Of the many gold medal winners, most are destined for continued success, with only a small number experiencing unexpected setbacks for various reasons.

But this award, as I said before, is too high a standard, unprecedented, and even in the future, it will be related to the World Tour.

"Myth" is good so far and deserves an award.

But what happens next? Who knows what will happen next?
Doing so is too risky.

“I understand what you mean, Lao Li. So, we also need to carefully examine the follow-up content of ‘Myth’ before deciding whether to establish this award.”

General Manager Li nodded, then said to Wang Jingrui, "Old Wang, this is the company's plan. If the quality of 'Myth' declines after the World Tour ends, then it will take the gold award in the Myth category. If there are no problems with the sequel to 'Myth,' then it will take the award I mentioned. That's why I asked you to find another gold award just in case."

Adventure is adventure.

However, if it becomes a reality, the benefits are real.

The competition for these game awards across continents is fierce. If we successfully elevate Myth to the top, wouldn't that also elevate ourselves?
"I understand." Wang Jingrui's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he nodded.

Although Mr. Li had mentioned this to him before, he really didn't expect things to have come to this.

At this moment, for some reason, he felt a surge of excitement.

Setting a world precedent!
The mythology actually had such an opportunity?
"Yes, thank you for your help. Your department will be quite busy these days. If it succeeds, the credit will go to you, and you'll receive a bonus," said General Manager Li.

"Yes!" Wang Jingrui nodded again.

The ministers from other regions looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, and naturally had no objections.

Mythology Zone released a game called "Mythology" this year, and it's going to win another gold award. This prize money is rightfully mine.

"Alright, meeting adjourned," said General Manager Li, having finalized the plan.

Then, he started walking outside.

There's no need to go into the matter of adding categories again.

Watching Mr. Li leave, everyone fell into deep thought, pondering the matter.

Wang Jingrui, full of energy and excitement, also began to walk towards the door.

Work, work!

He needs to work!

Speaking of which, should he go to Dongqing and have a chat with that designer, Lin Donglin?

After all, this is no small matter.

……

at the same time.

Dongqing Technology.

The official website of Dongqing has long been overwhelmed by countless players.

The employees of Dongqing are all extremely busy these days.

The website has been destroyed so many times.

The expressions on their faces were a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Who knows?

They're a game company, and their website already has a pretty large capacity, yet it still gets crashed all the time.

If I hadn't joined Dongqing, this would have been unimaginable.

"Haha, junior, you didn't do this on purpose, did you? Did you deliberately pull this stunt to make the players suffer so much?"

At this moment, Mu Wanqing was in Lin Dong's office, scrolling through various trending topics on her phone, drinking a beverage, sitting on the sofa, and laughing heartily without any regard for her image.

"However, junior, I have to say I was a little scared by what you did during the Blue Star Festival. You're really too ruthless, you don't treat players like human beings at all."

The two of them were naturally unaware of what had happened at the World Tour headquarters.

Mu Wanqing was talking about how online players pretended to be the Monkey King, but ended up being completely defeated, with everyone losing their composure.

"It has nothing to do with me, senior. You've seen the plan, you should know..." Lin Dong was speechless and couldn't help but complain.

"It's because I saw the plan that I found it so funny, but he's a junior after all~ it's hard not to suspect that you did it on purpose." Mu Wanqing blinked and said with a giggle.

"That's not true. It's clearly those players who haven't learned their lesson," Lin Dong denied, shaking his head repeatedly.

Player behavior should not be interpreted as part of the game design.

He never had that many thoughts.

The player simply had too many ideas, and they unknowingly became his own.

"I'll issue a notice later to explain the event dungeon to the players," Lin Dong said wearily.

"Okay, sure." Mu Wanqing nodded, without any objection.

As an important event of the Blue Star Festival, the event dungeon in "Mythology" is certainly not like this, or rather, it is more than this.

It's just that people have played it like this.

Mu Wanqing understood this very well, so she wasn't flustered at all when she saw the official website being attacked.

The more you criticize, the more popular it becomes!
The hype is so good, why not take it?

Lin Dong kept scrolling through the trending topics on Toutiao and various live streams, shaking his head repeatedly.

However, when he saw a live stream, he paused for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Looks like we don't need to issue an announcement anymore; someone has already found the right way to beat it."

"Oh, really?" Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up when she heard this. She quickly got up, went to Lin Dong's side, and joined him to watch the live stream.

The two faces were very close, almost touching, but neither of them noticed.
