After rejecting Wu Guoyi's invitation, Lu Wu stopped wandering around and found a place to sit down.
While chatting with Bei Li, he waited for the award ceremony to begin.
After experiencing Blizzard's flagship game, Titan, Lu Wu understood that there was no other game in this era that could compete with Battle Royale.
To Lu Wu, this might be a tragedy for many game manufacturers, but he also knew that it would be a golden age for the players.
Two hours passed quickly as he chatted with Lil Bei Li. The E3 Gaming Awards Ceremony had officially begun.
Seeing the notification that appeared on the big screen in the center of the exhibition hall, Lu Wu immediately stood up and held Lil Bei Li's hand as they walked to the award area.
The award area was also the size of an exhibition hall. However, not everyone could enter this exhibition hall as they had to verify the eligibility of the electronic tickets of the entrants.
This threshold was mainly set up to prevent a huge influx of people, which would make it difficult for the awards to proceed smoothly.
The two tickets in Lu Wu's hand were given by Wu Guoyi, so naturally, there was no problem. After passing the ticket check, they walked straight into the exhibition hall.
The interior was structured like a theater. At the front was a podium and a three-meter tall holographic projection device.
Apart from the first two rows, the visitors who entered the hall could choose their seats at will.
Since he was late, Lu Wu naturally only had the seat at the back.
Lu Wu didn't care about this and dragged Lil Bei Li to the last row.
While waiting, Lu Wu suddenly raised his head and looked at the VIP passage in front of him.
At this moment, a group of people walked out and entered the hall.
Lu Wu was familiar with one of them, it was Wu Guoyi.
At this moment, Wu Guoyi was surrounded by the crowd and looked helpless.
It could be said that he had to bear all the pain that Lu Wu was supposed to bear.
The people around him were all inquiring about the content of Battle Royale. Some of them were even probing him with information about the production team behind the scenes.
Their goal was simple, they wanted to poach people from Battle.
This was very common in the game industry. It could be said that the development of the game industry was dominated by the vicious competition of poaching people. Now, it was even more so.
This was because the game industry had always been in a state of scarcity.
For example, the first batch of game developers in Dragon Nation who worked in major game manufacturers were basically poached by them from Shanda. Another example was Warcraft's famous Chief Game Designer "Ghost Crab" who was poached by Fist and became the Chief Designer of League of Legends. There were many other similar poaching stories …
This' poaching tradition 'had been well preserved until now.
Therefore, in the eyes of these game manufacturers, as long as they offered enough benefits, they might be able to poach the research and development team behind the scenes of Battle Royale.
Every major game manufacturer had long been envious of the developers behind the scenes who were able to produce such an epoch-making game like Battle.
Thus, since it was rare for him to meet Wu Guoyi, he naturally wanted to sound him out and even try to dig into him.
However, apart from Lu Wu, Wu Guoyi did not know any of the R&D personnel.
Although she had requested to meet him a few times, Lu Wu had always declined.
So at this moment, he really wanted to say,
"I only know the f * cking boss, Battle God. Do you guys want to poach him?"
…
Lu Wu, who had the strength of a Ghost King, naturally heard the conversation between the game producers and Wu Guoyi. He immediately turned his head to look at Lil Bei Li, who was at Ge You's stall, and a smile appeared on his face.
This was because there was only one person in the R&D team of Battle Royale, and that was Lil Bei Li. Moreover, she was bound to him, the kind that could not be poached away.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously reached out and rubbed Lil Bei Li's little head.
Lil Bei Li immediately gave him a look of disdain.
After Wu Guoyi and the others took their seats, the game awards officially began.
At this time, the person in charge of the E3 organizers walked onto the stage, and the virtual image was activated. A data panel suddenly appeared in front of the audience.
It recorded the ratings of the major games at this stage.
At this moment, Battle Online was at the top of the list. The total online time was followed by a long string of zeros. It could be said that the zeros were enough to hang the second place, Galaxy Online, and its market share was as high as a terrifying 53%.
This kind of achievement had never been seen before, except during the era when the game was just starting out and was very scarce.
The data had already proved the dominance of Battle Royale in this era.
This was also a fact that the major game manufacturers did not want to admit.
At this time, the person in charge of the E3 exhibition, who was standing on the stage, clicked on the introduction interface of Battle Online.
Suddenly, the game's cinematics appeared in front of the audience, and the person in charge began to introduce the game.
However, compared to the comprehensive data introduction of other games, Battle Online had pitifully little information, and there were all kinds of question marks behind it.
Game: Battle Online (Battle Online)
Head of Production:???
Game Engine:???
Name of Production Team:???
Agent: 173 Wu Guoyi
Game Copyright Owner:???
…
…
These question marks added a sense of mystery to Battle Online.
The E3 organizers were very helpless about this. They had asked Wu Guoyi about this, but they could not get any useful information.
According to Wu Guoyi, although he was the agent, he did not know anything.
Left with no choice, the E3 organizers could only collect the media's descriptions to introduce the game.
After a round of introduction, the person in charge suddenly said,
"Now, let's welcome Battle Agent, Mr. Wu Guoyi to speak!"
At this moment, everyone in the room suddenly perked up.
This was because there was a very important segment at this time, and that was the question.
In this regard, Wu Guoyi was a little nervous. After all, he really did not know anything. However, after he walked up to the stage, he still opened his mouth and said,
"Actually, I don't know much about Battle Online, but please ask me questions, and I'll try my best to answer them!"
At this moment, pairs of hands were raised, and everyone stared at Wu Guoyi with anticipation.
Seeing this, Wu Guoyi began to ask questions.
"Mr. Wu Guoyi, I would like to ask, how many employees are there in such a mysterious team behind Battle Online? How did they manage to keep it so secret? "
"This … I'm not sure, I'm just the agent!"
"I would like to ask, with such a large number of Battle Online players, the server maintenance fee should be very high. If they continue to burn money like this, will there be a day when they can't support it? Is there a need to start a charging system, even if it doesn't affect the balance of the game?"
"No, I've also asked the behind-the-scenes boss about this, and he told me clearly that there will be no charges, and that they will resolutely implement the principle of generating electricity with love!"
"When will that dog of a developer distribute soul coins, when will they start signing in rewards, and when will they give out artifacts? (Question from a Battle Online player)"
"As far as I know, it's impossible in this lifetime!"
"When will the dog of a developer strengthen our European server, and let us surpass the original server!"
"This … I'm just the agent, I'm not in charge of the internal operations of the game, and I have no right to interfere with the content of the game!"
"Is the boss of Battle Online here today? I remember you mentioned last time that he would be at E3 as well! "
"He's here, but forgive me for not being able to reveal his identity!"
"Then, is he at the award ceremony now?"
"He should be!" Wu Guoyi smirked as he said this.
…
Wu Guoyi, you hold a grudge + 5!
Hearing Wu Guoyi's answer, Lu Wu could not help but grit his teeth.
As for the seated Battle Online players, when they heard that the behind-the-scenes boss of Battle Online was also present, their expressions gradually turned ferocious …
They began to turn their heads and look around suspiciously, trying to use their sharp sense of smell to locate that damn dog of a developer.
Looking at the murderous gazes sweeping over him, Lu Wu …
Holding a grudge + 6!
Sensing that the atmosphere in the venue was not right, the person in charge quickly stepped forward and signaled that Wu Guoyi's speech was over.
Hearing this, Wu Guoyi walked off the stage without hesitation.
In fact, he was also very sad, feeling that he had become Lu Wu's shield and a target for everyone to vent their anger on.
It would be fine if he knew some inside information, but the problem was that he was always being misunderstood even though he knew nothing!
However, when Wu Guoyi said that the behind-the-scenes boss of Battle Online might be in the venue, the gazes that had been staring at him immediately faded away.
Now, this group of hungry wolves began to search for the more important behind-the-scenes boss of Battle Online.
They would give him a 'backstab' filled with love.
Since Battle Online was introduced first, the players were no longer paying attention to the subsequent introductions of the game.
Even the person in charge of the game manufacturers who did not play Battle Online was secretly searching for Lu Wu, hoping to collaborate with him.
Although they knew that it was impossible for them to obtain the agency rights of Battle Online, they still had another goal, which was to obtain the authorization of Battle Online's game engine.
They believed that the behind-the-scenes boss of Battle Online would not reject this request. After all, authorizing the 'game engine' would not affect the game in any way.
Therefore, these game manufacturers felt that as long as they offered a high price, they would definitely stand a chance.
This was just like Epic in the past. This was originally a game company, until they developed the Unreal 4 engine. Since then, they had been living a life of earning money while lying down.
It could be said that with the Unreal 4 engine, Epic could earn a huge amount of money every year in licensing fees.
As for Battle Online, in the eyes of these major game manufacturers, the high degree of realism in the game must be inseparable from the game engine.
Of course, they could not imitate it by relying on their own abilities, but there was still a shortcut, which was to obtain the authorization of the game engine.
At this moment, everyone in the room had their own thoughts, and everyone they looked at was suspicious.
Although Lu Wu had the strength of a Ghost King, he still felt very sad at this moment.
If he was discovered, he could not possibly start a massacre!
As the descendant of Battle Online, many of the people in the room were his future subordinates. According to the saying that those who cultivated the Emperor's Mirror would become the Emperor, all the humans in the world were his people!
Therefore, they were all his people, and he could not kill them!
Fortunately, although these gazes swept past Lu Wu, they did not linger for too long.
From their point of view, Lu Wu looked too young to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Battle Online.
On the other hand, those who looked more mature became the main targets of suspicion.
The award ceremony, which was supposed to focus on the flagship games of major game manufacturers, instantly became a scene of investigation.
Moreover, there was only one "criminal", and the rest were all Sherlock Holmes.
At the final award ceremony, just as Lu Wu had expected, Battle Online won almost all the awards.
Although Battle Online had a good reputation among the players, it had never won any awards to prove its worth. However, at this E3 exhibition, Battle Online was officially crowned a god!
Lu Wu could already see the scene of a large number of new players flooding into the venue.
After the award ceremony officially ended, Lu Wu was about to walk out of the venue with Lil Bei Li.
However, he was shocked to find that the entrance was surrounded by a lot of people.
These "evil" Battle Online players were trying to find Lu Wu from the vast sea of people and kidnap him.
The kind that could only be "redeemed" with high soul coins!
Seeing this scene, Lu Wu smiled indifferently. Naturally, he would not be calculative about it.
That was because they were all gamers who loved the game Battle, and they would be his future subordinates.
As the future leader of the human race, Lu Wu still had this bit of magnanimity.
Therefore, I will hold a grudge, and all of you can wait for your death!
Just wait for me to squeeze all of your soul coins dry, and I will let you know the wrath of a privileged dog!
