My game is depressing worldwide.

Chapter 129 A Smiling Tiger's Leisurely Move

The audience erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap! Asylum Studios? A new work already?!"

"I knew it, Chen Xuan is the kind of person who would do something like this."

"Wow, this is a new game!! So, are all of these creatures in the PV available for me to hunt?"

"Alright, alright, I don't care about ordinary hunting, but I'll analyze dragon hunting frame by frame."

"Who could resist hunting a dragon?"

Below the stage, Xie Yuan stared blankly at the L0G0 that had appeared.

It is neither a sequel to Dark Souls nor DLC.

New work?

A surge of immense joy instantly overwhelmed me.

As expected, each new work challenges a different field!

Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement.

Beside him, Chen Hongyu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh out loud.

"It really is a new work; it seems you lost this bet."

"Ahem, isn't it a good thing to have a new game to play with?" Xie Yuan rubbed his nose. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

"Well, I hope you won't." Chen Hongyu smiled as he watched Chen Xuan go on stage, lost in thought.

This is the second time we've met in less than two weeks.

Keep it up!

The more popular your game becomes, the more popular my game will become too.

Sigh, there's nothing I can do.

Who told us to take on this mess?

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Chen Xuan stood on the stage for a full ten seconds before the applause gradually subsided.

However, seeing the players' reactions, Chen Xuan remained outwardly unmoved, but inwardly he felt a little guilty.

No, aren't these players a little too fanatical?

He even heard some cheers from the audience.

"I'd be willing to suffer to hunt such a powerful monster!"

No way...

Did they really turn the players into masochists?

It should be fine.

We've already made preparations in advance, and this wave should be able to break through the defenses of these players.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan cleared his throat.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Xuan, the producer from Asylum Studio. Next, I'll be introducing our latest work—Monster Hunter: World!"

After that, a game poster appeared on the screen.

Next, a brief explanation of the game's world view and game type was given.

Of course, the true main characters in the game, namely the ancient dragons, cannot all be revealed at once.

However, a brief introduction was given to Nergigante, the Elder Dragon Slayer who had a significant role in the story, exuding immense pressure in the early stages but was later reduced to a "measuring lamb".

Well, she is the mascot after all.

You still need to have some face value.

After the brief introduction, Chen Xuan added, "A demo version of Monster Hunter: World will be available at this game expo. We welcome everyone to visit the Asylum Studios booth to try it out and provide your feedback."

There's a demo available?

Not only Xie Yuan, but also Lao Wei and other media outlets were immediately impressed.

The game was not open to regular players in the morning, which gave them an excellent opportunity to harvest traffic.

Now, the mental hospital studio is at the top of the industry.

Line up, hurry up and line up!

I want to play the game as soon as possible and write a review as soon as possible!!

Although Monster Hunter: World was the last game to appear on the main stage, the event was not completely over and there was a brief wrap-up.

Normally, most people would choose to see everything before queuing up at each booth to try out the products.

But today, I can't wait any longer!

Many people have already started to leave.

The organizers, watching all this from behind, were all ashamed.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan's game was placed last.

If this had been put forward earlier, many media personnel or invitees would have lined up to try out Monster Hunter: World immediately after watching the PV, leaving many seats empty. How ugly would that scene be?

Many people around were excited.

"Luckily, I booked Chen Xuan's interview well in advance, so now we have something to talk about."

"Damn, I'm so envious. When I tried to book an interview with Chen Xuan, they told me it was already full."

"Haha, be envious."

"Envy my ass! I'm going to queue up to try it out first, you can be envious all you want."

Xie Yuan and Lao Wei also stood up and rushed to join the queue.

"Cousin, hurry up!"

"Here it comes, here it comes, don't rush."

From afar, the three of them spotted the booth belonging to the Asylum Studio.

It's too conspicuous.

Although there were no regular players in the morning, the cosplayers all stepped forward.

Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya are the starter trio.

The cool and aloof Fire Keeper and the somewhat goofy and lovable Onion Knight.

They all took on the role of booth staff, helping to guide those who wanted to try out the games to queue up.

Xie Yuan and Lao Wei arrived at the end of the line and took their numbers.

As soon as I turned around, I found someone following me.

Xie Yuan was taken aback, then gave a wry smile and said, "Sorry, I forgot to ask what your company's latest work is. But, was it really necessary for you to come along?"

Chen Hongyu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid you'll go back on your word; I'm just going back to my booth."

'

"...Your booth? Over here? You're not an employee of the Asylum Studio, are you?"

"Of course not, my booth is right across the street."

opposite?

Xie Yuan followed the direction he was looking, and his expression gradually froze.

"You're not talking about Tianshuo Network Technology's booth, are you?!"

Chen Hongyu replied with a smile, "Of course. So, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

Xie Yuan's lips twitched, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

"...Tian Shuo has a lot of projects. Which production team are you from?"

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet." Chen Hongyu pulled out his name tag from his shirt pocket to show everyone. "The 'Starry Night' project team, taking over as producer from Zheng Yanbin. Old Wei and Gagty Game Guy, right? I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future."

Old Wei was speechless and couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Xie Yuan looked like he'd seen a ghost, glancing left and right.

Booths faced each other, game zones faced each other, cosplayers faced each other, and even after players entered in the afternoon, the queues for trying out the games would eventually converge.

The Asylum Studio has been making headlines for the past year or so, but it's still far behind a deep-pocketed company like Tian Shuo.

Moreover, Tianshuo is a comprehensive game company with many projects, two of which were just unveiled on the main stage.

It also had the largest and most impressive booth at this game expo.

If a passerby glanced at it, they would get the feeling that the mental hospital's workroom was being suppressed.

Nobody would believe it wasn't intentional.

Xie Yuan's face turned green.

"Wait, how come you happen to be the producer of 'Starry Night'? Why didn't you say so sooner??"

"You didn't even ask?" Chen Hongyu didn't pay much attention, took out two business cards, wrote something on them, and handed them to the two. "If you want to try out Tianshuo's games, just bring these business cards in. You'll have priority access. If the staff doesn't approve, my phone number is on them, and I'll help you resolve it."

After saying that, he patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder in a very familiar manner, and then walked towards Tian Shuo's booth, leaving the two brothers looking at each other in bewilderment.

Old Wei was speechless and said, "Serves you right for me messing around. Now look what you've done, you've put yourself in a dilemma."

Xie Yuanqian chuckled, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

but..

Having read so much negative information about Tianshuo online, this was the first time the two had met a senior executive of Tianshuo Game Studio.

It doesn't seem like it's annoying, does it?

On the contrary, they are quite enthusiastic and easily win people's favor.

After he expressed his thoughts...

Old Wei raised an eyebrow at his cousin and said dismissively, "It's just a casual move by the smiling tiger. A producer who's been parachuted in hasn't even established himself in the studio yet. Who do you think he'll try to win over first?"

"Players?"

"Right~" Old Wei glanced meaningfully at Chen Hongyu's retreating figure, "Believe it or not, we accepted his help this morning, and by the afternoon there were rumors in the community that 'Old Wei and the irritable gamer have defected to the enemy'?"

These words sent a chill down Xie Yuan's spine. For the first time, he realized there was a reason why his cousin had gained so many followers.

Xie Yuan has been branded as a "mad filial son" by the players.

If such rumors really do exist, a cybercrime record could truly follow someone for life.

It will be mentioned by people no matter how many years later.
