Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

The third one is Houmu.

Fourth place, still Houmu.

Finally, we reached the seventh player, who wasn't a Houmu. However, he was unfortunately dropped because his gameplay was too niche.

As each designer failed, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became somewhat somber, and Tesla in the front row even yawned.

“Next… um, Mr. Nangong Yu from Gensokyo Company.”

The meeting secretary's voice instantly perked the three girls up. Nangong Yu also stood up, took a deep breath, and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

As she watched him calmly open the prepared materials on the stage, Bronya's heart began to race with nervousness.

She thought many of the designers' proposals were actually quite good, but even so, they were ruthlessly rejected by the judges. No matter how much confidence she had in Yu, she couldn't help but start to worry now.

Needless to say, Seele and Kaguya were already holding hands, so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe while looking up.

On the stage, Nangong Yu opened her prepared PowerPoint presentation. Looking at the gazes directed at her from below the stage, she slowly exhaled and immediately adopted a confident, smiling expression.

Behind him, the first slide of the PowerPoint presentation was displayed on a large screen.

A group of oddly shaped but rather cute little animals are playing happily on the grass, and right in the middle of them is the name of the game.

Pokémon.

Recommended votes count as 2 chapters, monthly votes as 3 chapters, tips as 6 chapters, and blades as 5 chapters, for a total of 16 chapters. I added 1 chapter the day before yesterday, so I'm 15 chapters short. It's alright, I can manage it slowly.

By the way, after Pokémon ends, the St. Freya series will probably start. In the Luna Kind, do you guys prefer the big ones or the small ones?

........

Chapter Ninety-Four: You want to steal my son's things?

As the only new face besides Seele and her group at the entire meeting, she attracted either questioning or curious glances from everyone in the audience.

Some of those who arrived early knew that Nangong Yu and Cocolia were likely related, and immediately sat up straight and opened their eyes wide. There was no way around it; when it came to authority, Cocolia was probably even more imposing than Welt.

Nangong Yu didn't get straight to the point. He first introduced himself and Gensokyo Company. When they learned that he was the designer of "To the Moon" and "Hollow Knight", many people's eyes immediately became more serious.

They couldn't possibly have been unaware of the two games that had generated so much buzz within a year, "To the Moon" and "Hollow Knight." The captivating storylines and ingenious game design made even the most arrogant designers no longer underestimate this young man on stage.

Seeing Cocolia's encouraging smile from below the stage, Nangong Yu smiled back.

He took a step back, turned sideways, raised his hand and pointed to the screen behind him, and began to fluently recount everything about Pokémon.

First and foremost, of course, is the concept of Pokémon.

When Nangong Yu explained the basic settings of Pokémon catching, raising, battling, and nurturing, all the designers subconsciously began to concentrate.

This is a rather novel form of game.

Pet raising and battling.

Although this concept has been around for a long time, it has mostly appeared in RPG games as a sidekick to the protagonist. This is the first time that this concept has been taken out and made into a game on its own, which has attracted the interest of most people in a short period of time.

After introducing the basic gameplay, Nangong Yu released some pre-drawn Pokémon illustrations and began to introduce the various attributes and attribute advantages between Pokémon, their move learning, special effects, battle methods, and how to classify them into common Pokémon, pseudo-legendary Pokémon, mythical Pokémon, and legendary Pokémon based on their rarity and growth value, and set different levels of AI control.

The meticulously listed data and airtight logic made everyone subconsciously hold their breath, focusing intently so as not to miss a single word. By now, they were certain that this was an exceptionally excellent game.

Especially the battle system, it's as if it was tailor-made for the real-time interactive function of AR glasses.

Moreover, setting aside the gameplay, having such adorable creatures around you every day is a wonderful thing, so this game's popularity is guaranteed to be high!

Cocolia's eyes sparkled with surprise, her heart pounding as she watched Nangong Yu on stage, who was becoming more and more confident. She felt like a parent-teacher association president whose child was being praised and commended by everyone.

After explaining the most basic logic, Nangong Yu picked up his water glass to moisten his throat. Looking at the burning gazes below the stage, especially the undisguised admiration in the eyes of Seele, Kaguya, and Yaya, he smiled easily and then turned to a new page.

This is just the beginning; he hasn't even revealed the real bombshell yet.

Regarding Pokémon acquisition, apart from the starter Pokémon that players can choose, the rest of the Pokémon can only be caught by the players themselves, or bred using male and female Pokémon.

"We can collaborate with cultural and tourism bureaus around the world to distribute Pokémon differently based on different climates and ecosystems. For example, in volcanic areas, we can mainly spawn Fire and Rock-type Pokémon in areas where people can move around, while in forest areas, we can mainly spawn Grass and Water-type Pokémon. We can even collaborate with some famous tourist attractions to design exclusive Pokémon..."

The breathing in the conference room began to become heavy. Although this matter would consume a huge amount of Reverse Entropy's manpower and resources, if it were to be successfully accomplished...

Is this really just a young man who has made two small games? His ideas are really bold.

"Of course, to enhance its competitiveness, we can establish a varying number of gyms in each region based on their population size. For now, these gyms will be staffed by official personnel. Players will receive a gym badge after clearing a gym; collecting eight badges allows them to participate in the annual regional tournament. The top five from the first tournament will be designated as the Champion and the Elite Four, who will then be invited to the World Championship, where the eight Grandmasters will be determined through a decisive battle..."

Have they even considered competitive matches?!

If this idea comes true, they can't even imagine how popular the world championship will be. It might even become a carnival comparable to or surpassing the World Cup.

After adding some more specific details, Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and ended her story with a smile.

Just then, Walter was the first to stand up, excitedly clapping as he watched him. Soon, everyone stood up together, and enthusiastic applause resounded throughout the conference hall.

When the applause subsided, Walter picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "I think everyone should have no doubt about how to choose."

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone present, and even the designers who were behind Nangong Yu and hadn't spoken yet shook their heads helplessly.

If it were on PC, people would just think it's a fairly good game.

The problem is that it's paired with a new generation of AR glasses. With the support of real-time interactive functions, this game has become an absolute supermodel. Some astute veteran designers have even seen a trace of the old Houmu in this cute creature called Pokémon.

According to their search on the company's intranet, there are still very few people in Gensokyo. Although some people have been hired recently, there are still only three people in the core team. It is impossible for such a small number of people to complete such a huge workload in a year.

Since my design wasn't selected, and I've stumbled upon such a great opportunity, I wonder if I'll ever have another chance...

Once Nangong Yu stepped down from the stage, the meeting was essentially over. The designers rushed around Nangong Yu even faster than the excited Seele, surrounding her with fawning smiles: "Hello, hello, I'm the lead designer of Houmu Adventure, this is my business card..."

"What a brilliant idea! May I get to know you...?"

"I heard that Mr. Nangong, you're a bit short-handed. We'd like to..."

The designers, who had once looked incredibly respectable, were now scrambling and jostling forward like middle-aged women grabbing discounted eggs at a supermarket, eager to be the first to hand their business cards to Nangong Yu. This left Xi'er, who had wanted to run over and hug her brother to celebrate, standing outside looking completely bewildered.

Being suddenly surrounded left Nangong Yu momentarily stunned, but seeing their excited expressions, he quickly understood. He forced a smile, took their business cards, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, seniors, but this proposal is still somewhat rough. Perhaps we should wait until later..."

Seeing this, a middle-aged designer became anxious. He hadn't had any good work for several years, and this opportunity was his only hope for promotion or even fame. If he didn't make a decision now, he would definitely miss out on such a good opportunity later!

In addition, he arrived late and was unaware of the relationship between Nangong Yu and Cocolia. Also, he may have subconsciously adopted the demeanor of an elder because Nangong Yu appeared relatively young.

"Don't wait any longer, Mr. Nangong, listen to me, I'll lend you my entire team, and then..."

"Quiet!!"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Cocolia strode over, her high-top boots clicking on the floor. Her eyes, which had been smiling, turned terrifyingly cold at that moment. Her sharp gaze made everyone lower their heads, and the crowded people parted to make way for her.

Nangong Yu, who had been feeling somewhat uneasy, instantly relaxed. He watched as Cocolia stood beside him, her arm around his shoulder, surveying the room with an imposing air until no one dared to speak. Only then did she slowly and coldly say, "You want to take my son's things?"

Chapter 95 So he was accepted by St. Freya?

son?!!!

A look of astonishment filled everyone's eyes, especially the middle-aged man who had just fled to the center of the crowd, lowering his head and pretending to be dead.

Cocolia was able to rise from a mid-level leader to the second-in-command of Anti-Entropy in just a few years, so the methods she used were certainly not gentle. With just a few words, she instantly dispelled any thoughts that anyone might have.

Looking at Cocolia standing straight in front of him, even though he was already much taller than her, she was still standing in front of him to shield him from the cold wind, just like when they were children. He felt a surge of security in his heart.

"The game's development group has its own arrangements. The specific personnel to be transferred will be announced in a few days. You just need to wait for the notification."

Cocolia gave the middle-aged man, who was almost bowing his head to the ground, a deep look, and continued in a cold voice, "I hope you understand what I mean and don't have any ulterior motives."

"Also, now that the meeting is over, let's not all crowd into the meeting room."

As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people, as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly said goodbye and left the meeting room. It was obvious that the leaders had something to say, and what followed was not their business.

When only a few people remained in the conference room, Cocolia turned around and looked at Nangong Yu. Her icy gaze instantly melted, and gentleness filled the air. She raised her hand and patted Nangong Yu's head: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to bully you."

"Okay... Also, stop touching my head."

The gazes of Seele and Bronya made Nangong Yu's face flush slightly. He shook his head and pulled away from Cocolia's hand, which startled her. She said with a hint of amusement, "Are you shy? But don't you lie on Aponia's lap every day at home and let her do this?"

"Can this be the same..."

He muttered something to himself, but the sudden weight pressing down on him from behind made him stumble. Seele happily pounced on him, hugging her brother's neck and wrapping her long legs around his waist, looking at Cocolia with excitement.

She rested her chin on her brother's shoulder and said admiringly, "Cocolia's mom was so amazing just now!!"

"Indeed, that aura was really cool. I was even a little afraid to speak just now."

Being looked at with such admiration by her two favorite daughters made Cocolia feel a little smug. She crossed her arms and gave a light hum, replying, "How can I manage my subordinates without a bit of authority? Bronya, you should learn from me."

"I?"

"Otherwise, are we supposed to rely on the two of them?"

Pointing to the brother and sister who were sticking together and laughing, Cocolia said with a hint of helplessness.

Bronya immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh as she replied, "You're right."

Then, he clicked his tongue and sighed to himself, "Sigh, looks like I'll have to play the bad cop in our company from now on."

The siblings, who were being looked down upon by both of them, immediately retorted: "I think I'm actually quite serious."

"Seele, Seele is very serious too!"

"Ha~"

Hearing this, Bronya and Cocolia exchanged a glance, then laughed. They walked up to Nangong Yu, and Bronya, looking at the two faces pressed together, raised her hands and pinched one of them with a smile, saying, "Come on, give me a stern look."

"Well....."

"Well....."

Cocolia was overjoyed by their identical reactions. Kaguya, who had walked closer, stood to the side, a hint of envy on her smiling face. This family atmosphere...

Just then, Kaguya saw Seele and her husband suddenly break free from Bronya and flank her from behind. As she was puzzled, she heard her husband say, "It's alright, we have Kaguya, she can do it!"

"Yes, yes, Kaguya-neechan is amazing!"

"Ugh?"

The sense of distance was easily shattered by this small gesture. Before Kaguya could even feel touched, she was met with Bronya's tickling, and she couldn't stop laughing, completely losing all composure.
