Magic Tower!
Master Meng actually voted for the Magic Tower!
The auditorium exploded instantly.
The waves of discussion are overwhelming!
"Magic Tower? Why? Does it deserve it?" a certain Dragon King fan shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Yeah... just looking at the picture, this is just a pixel game. How can it be compared with big productions worth tens of millions or billions." said the melon-eaters who didn't know the truth.
"Haha, what a relief! If Master Meng and Mr. Xu had not stepped forward, the judges' table would have been surrounded by the Dragon King! Now there is a magic tower and a cultivation simulator, we will have a good show!"
"Master Meng is so domineering! Haha, he is indeed a veteran in the industry, even if you don't like the guy named Wang!"
A layman is looking forward to seeing the fun.
As for the experts, they are all weighing the pros and cons.
Wang Mingfeng, who was sitting in the audience, looked livid. Originally, he estimated that the most likely opponent for "Dragon King" to win the championship would be "Cultivation Simulator", but he didn't expect that now a new variable has been added.
But that’s fine too.
The fan stickiness of "Dragon King" is quite good, and any die-hard fan will undoubtedly vote for him.
If this magic tower can divert some of the player votes that were originally intended for "Cultivation Simulator", this would be a good thing for "Dragon King".
With this comfort in his heart, Wang Mingfeng calmed down a little.
We were all at the judges' table. The other judges looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
I don’t know if some kind of tacit understanding has been reached. In the following speech session, no one of the judges voted for "Dragon King", and no one voted for "Cultivation Simulator" or "Magic Tower".
Regarding the competition between the two giants, Rice Entertainment and Pineapple Entertainment, no one wants to get involved and cause trouble for themselves.
Thanks to this, there were gradually more games on the screen, and each person had one vote on average, and the atmosphere in the entire venue became exciting.
Off stage.
Li Zongzheng clenched his fists and said nervously.
"What's the origin of that magic tower?"
What was originally an evenly matched duel turned into a three-way melee.
This made Li Zongzheng, who had relied on passerby votes, panic.
"It is said that he is an independent game designer," Du Ziteng said with a solemn expression, "This game is really awesome. I played it for a while and it feels more addictive than Temple Escape... and it's the kind that can't be stopped."
Li Zongzheng pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.
"I made a decision!"
Liu Ye: "...Decision?"
Li Zongzheng said in a positive tone.
"After this game, we will recruit that person to our company!"
Jiang Lecheng couldn't help but complain.
"Will they come?"
"Uh... I don't know about that either," Li Zongzheng scratched his head, "But our company's treatment is so good, you'd still consider it if you think about it, right? How would you know if you don't try?"
It wasn't just Li Zongzheng who was struggling, Dragon King's designer Zhou Zhenyu was also clenching his fists nervously at this moment.
He was not surprised that Mr. Xu voted for "The Immortal Cultivation Simulator". After all, even if he didn't vote for "The Immortal Cultivation Simulator", the CEO of Rice Entertainment would definitely vote for other potential players to balance it out.
only…
He didn't expect that Meng Shuhui would come out halfway and vote for the Demon Tower!
That game that relies on opportunistic gameplay is actually worthy of standing on this stage and competing with him
Why!
With a fire in his chest, Zhou Zhenyu took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down.
The Dragon King has already received two votes!
This means the player votes he gets will be super doubled.
If you want to beat yourself, you have to get twice as many votes as "Dragon King"!
But is this possible
For a game that had not even been announced before the competition, even if it played a little trick on the topic of hot searches, it was absolutely impossible to collect so many votes in such a short period of time.
Even though it was Meng Shuhui who stood up for this game!
Not to mention Dragon King’s own die-hard fans.
Even if it was a fair duel at 1:1, it was absolutely impossible for his Dragon King to lose!
Golden Keyboard—
It must be mine!
With his eyes fixed on the big screen, Zhou Zhenyu roared in his heart.
Perhaps because they heard Zhou Zhenyu’s prayer, until the last judge spoke, no judge voted for the Magic Tower or the Immortal Cultivation Simulator.
At the end of the voting, "Dragon King" received 2 judges' votes, including "Magic Tower", "Cultivation Simulator", as well as "Warring States Generals", "Operation Malacca", "Mountain Village Inventor" and so on, a total of ten potential works , all were shortlisted for the finals with 1 judge vote.
Next comes the exciting player voting session.
…
Next to Tang Youxi, A Zhai, who was wearing a cultural shirt, suddenly sighed with emotion.
"Look! There's not even a text adventure game!"
Tang Youxi glanced at him sideways.
"...Why are you so happy?"
However, what she, the president, didn't expect was that the otaku's words resonated with another otaku in the club. The man wearing glasses and a plaid shirt sighed and said in agreement.
"So the reason why we didn't win the Golden Keyboard is not because of lack of strength, but because there is a problem with the selection mechanism of this competition."
Tang Youxi: "..."
"Speaking of which... the popularity of Dragon King is a bit too high," A Zhai, dressed in culture, said with emotion as he watched Dragon King take the top spot on the big screen. "It seems that from the first day of the exhibition, their The booth was packed with people.”
"Isn't that right? In the entire independent game booth in Area C, they are the only ones who got a large hanging screen, and it's also a four-sided screen." Standing next to everyone in the Charcot Animation Club, a boy carrying a computer bag said, He answered sourly, "You are so strong and capable to go to Area A, and this competition is just like it was held for them!"
"That's right," a passerby standing nearby heard their conversation and jumped in. "We small game production teams are like slimes giving them experience."
"And it's the one at the entrance to Novice Village."
A Zhai, who was standing nearby, added so excitedly that Tang Youxi couldn't help but glance at him sideways, not understanding what he was so excited about.
Listening to the low-pitched exchanges among the members, Tang Youxi glanced at the big screen and the supporting fans wearing T-shirts with the Dragon King logo printed on them in the audience, and couldn't help but have a helpless smile on his face.
Slime in Novice Village
Then it depends on the shortlisted works on the big screen...
As for these small production teams that have not even qualified for the finals, it may be said that the background textures of the game are a bit flattering to them...
"There is really no suspense in this competition. Hurry up and award the prizes."
"Player voting has just begun, why are you anxious."
"What else are you voting for? Do you really think anyone can defeat the Dragon King?"
"It's too difficult, but it's not without any suspense. Aren't there magic towers and immortal cultivation simulators?" A Zhai Youyou said, "Especially the magic tower. I played it all night yesterday. To be honest, I didn't even know it myself. To think that this garbage picture can actually attract a face-conscious gamer like me—"
At this moment, Tang Youxi suddenly stood up and clenched his right fist.
"I made a decision!"
"...Decision?" A Zhai looked at her blankly.
Looking at his friends with firm eyes, Tang Youxi said firmly.
"I want to vote for the Magic Tower!"
…
Voting is over.
It didn't take long.
Every player standing at the scene who holds a ticket has cast a sacred vote.
At this moment, the competition has entered the final stage. Whether it is the players, the game producers, or the big-name judges on the judges' bench, they can't help but hold their breath.
The atmosphere at the scene was like a pot of boiling water, with every inch of air filled with suffocating enthusiasm and boiling.
"Dragon King!"
"Dragon King!"
"... Fans over there, please restrain yourself for now. Next, we will announce the voting results of the competition." Smiling kindly at the fans of Dragon King, the host tapped the tablet in his hand.
To be honest, he felt that there was no suspense in this game at all.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell which game is the most popular at this game show.
However…
The moment the votes were revealed on the tablet, the smile on his face faltered slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
However, even though there was a storm in his heart, as a professional host, he quickly adjusted his state and put a bright smile on his face again.
"The game favored by the golden keyboard is-"
Wang Mingfeng clenched his fists.
Director Liu still had that kind smile.
Xu Qianshi was expressionless, tapping the armrest of the chair with his index finger and waiting.
Meng Shuhui half-closed his eyes and leaned on his chair, seemingly unworried.
Zhou Zhenyu had completely stopped breathing, his pupils were bloodshot, and he barely managed to shout out the words "Dragon King" for the host.
However-
At the moment when he could shout those two words, his mood fell into the abyss of despair.
"—It's the Magic Tower!!!"
"ah???"
The atmosphere in the whole place exploded instantly.
The auditorium exploded.
All Dragon King fans stood up and smashed the posters in their hands to the ground.
"GTND! Why!"
"Ah, I can't accept it!"
"Fuck! It's definitely a shady story! A naked shady story!"
"Let me tell you, this is definitely a shady story! It must be Da Mi Entertainment, the company behind Assassin's Legend, who is afraid that Dragon King's rise to the top will suppress their sales! That's why they promoted this hot chick!"
"Open the votes! Open the votes!"
There is no need for fans of Dragon King to urge him.
The public vote count is the last step in the voting process.
As they expected, the votes were quickly revealed on the big screen.
However, the result was that their emotions fell into the abyss along with their faith.
The second place "Dragon King" has 23680 (11840*2) votes, ranking second with the highest number of votes.
The third place "Cultivation Simulator" had 12,177 votes, and the naked votes followed closely behind, not to be outdone. Even a discerning person can see that if it weren't for Dragon King's super double, it would be hard to tell who would finish second or third.
As for the first place "Magic Tower", the number of votes shocked everyone.
34284 votes!
What is the concept of 34284 votes
Even without any multiplier bonus from the judges' votes, the Magic Tower absolutely surpassed the data of "Dragon King" and was far ahead of the third place.
Li Zongzheng held his breath and couldn't say a word.
The gap was too huge, and he had nothing to say about losing.
Being able to get 10,000 player votes, he was actually content in his heart.
At least the Best Creative Game Award will definitely go to "Cultivation Simulator". Although the gold content is not comparable to the championship "Golden Keyboard", it is still a consolation.
But Zhou Zhenyu is different.
When he saw this number, he was completely stunned and almost screamed out in surprise.
"This is impossible!!!"
