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

Chapter 87 Lin Dong Knows Nothing About Journey to the West! The World Tour Officially Begins! (Please Subscribe!!!)
"Holy crap, so what Boss Qiao deduced before—that the Great Sage ascended to heaven, became the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, and became the Great Sage Equal to Heaven—was all preordained? It was all true!"

"After reading 'Journey to the West,' I feel that I have a better understanding of the world background of 'Mythology,' and I am even more impressed!"

"Novel ideas, reaching for the heavens and the earth, masterful and unparalleled. This is the kind of mythology our Blue Star should have."

"Same here. After reading 'Journey to the West,' I feel like I like the Monkey King even more. But I always feel that this book is a bit different from the game."

"Upstairs, of course! I already said that the game only features a small part of the Monkey King story! The novel, however, mainly tells the story of the Monkey King. The game and the novel are definitely different!"

"..."

Many gamers were also shocked.

However, compared to others, they had a deeper understanding of "Journey to the West".

Because of the stories told in the book.

Most of them have experienced it, they've all played it!

Especially the things Qiao Liang analyzed back then.

Now that we've seen it, everyone is in an uproar.

The analysis was surprisingly accurate?
This is something Qiao Liang analyzed on his own, even before the book was published.

Whether it was the matter of Bi Ma Wen (弼马温), the matter of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven (齐天大圣), or even the matter of making havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Qiao Liang's analysis is entirely correct.

Many people therefore held Qiao Liang in the highest esteem.

They believe he truly deserves his reputation as a renowned tech streamer.

But again.

Some people think that Qiao Liang is nothing special.

Although the previous analysis was entirely correct.

But the ending was completely wrong.

If you act with great fanfare but the outcome is completely wrong, can you really be considered skilled?

All of a sudden.

A small group of people even started a war of words over this.

Those who admire Qiao Liang believe that he has already done an amazing job to achieve this level, and that all of his efforts should not be negated because of the result.

Those who look down on Qiao Liang think that no matter how eloquently you speak, the result is what's in front of you, and it's ridiculous to boast about meaningless efforts.

Besides.

Some gamers even cursed out loud after watching "Journey to the West".

Attack Lin Dong.

Attacking "Journey to the West".

They don't care whether the book is good or not.

They only saw what they were dissatisfied with and started to criticize relentlessly.

"Damn it! What kind of rubbish is this?! It's riddled with plot holes!"

"That's right, that's right, damn it! When I, the Great Sage, wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I was invincible! It was only when the Buddha Tathagata intervened that I was able to suppress the Great Sage."

Look at what's behind me. Any monster could fight me, the Great Sage, for two rounds.

Is this even reasonable?! The combat power has completely collapsed, don't you understand?! I'd rather forget about your eighty-one tribulations!

"I rarely comment, but this time it really angered me. You damn author, do you even know anything about the Monkey King? Have you ever been a god? You just write whatever comes to mind!"

"They don't recognize the Fighting Buddha of Mount Ling, but only the Flower and Fruit Monkey King."

"Lin Dong is just a lousy game developer, what does he know about hooking the Monkey King!"

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!!!"

"This book is worthless, authentication complete, we don't accept it!"

"deny!"

"deny!"

"..."

Countless players began to fiercely criticize "Journey to the West".

They've come this far.

I was already captivated by Sun Wukong's charm.

I admire his boundless passion! I admire his fearlessness in the face of power! I admire his free and unrestrained spirit!

And now this book has been published.

The claim of the eighty-one tribulations is a gross denigration of Sun Wukong.

Will they admit it?
It must be impossible.

Someone reminded them that the book was written by the game designer, Lin Dong himself.

Immediately, some people started criticizing.

Lin Dong is just a lousy game developer; he doesn't know anything.

In short, Journey to the West is a story in many ways.

It became an instant hit as soon as it was released.

……

And just as the release of "Journey to the West" caused a stir online.

Another message.

It also started trending on social media.

The World Swimming Championships have officially begun!
Myth has finally entered the open beta phase!

Dongqing Technology.

Lin Dong, Mu Wanqing, Wang Xiaoxiao, and many other Dongqing employees, with smiles on their faces but equally unsettled in their hearts, jointly released the official message.

[The open beta of "Myth" has officially begun.]

[Standard version: 328.]

[Deluxe Edition: 568.]

[Purchase links below...] The standard version needs no further explanation.

The so-called deluxe version is simply the regular version with an added skin effect.

Besides.

Dongqing also made a special statement in the announcement.

Once purchased, Myth will not incur any additional charges beyond the skin's special effects, and the skin will not provide any additional attribute bonuses besides its special effects.

Upon seeing these announcements.

Many netizens were also in an uproar.

"I've finally waited for you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up!"

"Ahhh, the novel's been released, and the game's been released too! I'm torn between reading the novel first or playing the game first!"

"Holy crap? A game like 'Mythology' is only 328 yuan to buy out? That's practically giving it away for free!!"

"Equally astonished! Only three hundred and twenty-eight!"

"What a conscience! What an incredible conscience! Holy crap, Dongqing!"

"That's normal. You know, the team behind Mythology left Starlink because of God of War's overcharging. The games they make... *sobs*, well, I'm still really touched!"

"No, what are you all talking about? 328 is cheap?"

"Hey upstairs! Don't you understand? It's not that 328 is cheap, it's that buying it out for 328 is way too damn cheap! Considering the development costs of a game like 'Myth,' if we don't sell enough at this price, we could easily lose money!"

"I'm not going to say anything more. Just for Dongqing's conscience, I'll give him 568 points."

"Same as 568, damn it! What is 328? Does it even deserve my status?!"

"..."

Many people were shocked when they saw Dongqing's quote.

Before this, no one expected that "Myth" would be priced like this.

They'll just release skin effects and collect money from there.

Furthermore, skins are just special effects and don't provide any attribute bonuses, so no matter how much money you spend, they won't disrupt the game's balance.

What's the difference between this and a buyout?

In this era where spending money is king, and thousands or tens of thousands of dollars can go unnoticed.

How could they possibly play such a conscientious game?
Many people were moved to tears at this moment.

buy buy buy.

Countless people did not hesitate at all.

So I started buying "Myth" from the official websites of Dongqing and Shiyou.

Not only that.

A large number of them even bought the deluxe version directly.

no other meaning.

Support Dongqing!

And with the start of the World Swimming Championships.

Many games were launched at the same time.

Game promotional slogans also appeared below the titles of various games:

"Myth is strong, but we are not bad either. The outcome is still uncertain, and we are all potential dark horses. We welcome everyone to come and experience our masterpiece."

—Lu, chief game designer of Tengdi Group.

"Surpassing 'Mythology,' this is an authentic Earth mythology game, filled with gods, demons, and strange tales—the most fun mythology game ever made."

—Wang, chief designer of NetEase Games.

"The sequel to God of War, the first work of the Myth team, God of War 2 is coming soon! We will surpass our predecessor and reach new heights!"

—Lin, the chief designer of Starlink games.

"A challenge to ourselves! With the sequel to the classic game 'Legend of Goddess,' 'Legend of Goddess 2,' our goal is the World Game Gold Award!"

— X, the chief designer of xx game.

One by one, game companies stepped forward.

The World Tour is ultimately a global competition.

Even though "The Myth" is very popular now.

But the other game companies, of course, wouldn't just give up so easily.

Even those long-established large companies.

They all remained as steady as Mount Tai, full of confidence.

It's a fire game, after all.

As if he'd done it before.

They are very confident in their company's work.

Just as Tengdi Group claims in its promotional materials.

The outcome is uncertain, you and I are both dark horses.

Until the final result is announced, it's still uncertain who will emerge victorious.

Ahem... But that's what I mean.

But The Myth is popular now, and its popularity is high.

Therefore, in the promotional slogans.

They'll take any opportunity to get a piece of the pie, since there's no harm in doing so.

As for the game's promotional slogan amidst this chaotic situation...

"This is a very simple and fun game."

—Lin Dong, Chief Game Designer at Dongqing Technology.

As soon as these words came out.

Many beta testers lost their temper and almost exploded again, hurling insults at each other on the official websites of Dongqing and Shiyou.

Simple?
Simple my ass!
