Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: It Has to Be You Who Lacks Integrity

#Why did the Polestar Game Company boss appear in the Celestial Shark Game's live streaming room and spend a million Federation Coins in two hours?!#

#Is "Ruins of the Future: 2100" suspected of plagiarism?!#

#Polestar's new game, about to launch on major platforms.#

#Regarding the games being plagiarized, the Polestar Game Company boss speaks up....#

....

....

It was already late at night.

Yet the Emperor Penguin Group still had lights blazing, especially in the game department.

Supervisor Xu Huan looked at one trending topic after another, and his expression was grim.

Afraid of what was coming, it came.

He feared the Polestar Game Company boss was tough to handle, and it turned out to be true.

Not a word mentioned the Emperor Penguin Group.

Yet every mention was about the Emperor Penguin Group.

Xu Huan already imagined how many trending topics this guy would create to attract attention before the competition started.

Moreover, the other party spent millions of Federation Coins in gifts overnight.

The live streaming circle in the Great Xia Federation was in an uproar.

This also showed that Polestar games did not lack money, because from Xu Huan's understanding, Polestar Company's assets were only about sixty million Federation Coins, and they were almost depleted, so these sudden additional millions of Federation Coins.

Could only be from the game partner over there fully supporting Zhao Ming.

"Cyber Blue Star: 2077" was already a bust.

Only the mysterious new game on Polestar's official website was left.

This made Xu Huan furrow his brows tightly.

What kind of game was it, that it dared to continue contending with them?

He couldn't figure it out.

Xu Huan felt extremely irritable inside, damn it.

He was just irritated by these somewhat eccentric talents.

Never able to predict what they would do, completely unforecastable.

Xu Huan got up and walked out of his office.

Looking at the still busy crowd, he asked:

"How's the investigation going?"

"Any new information?"

His secretary stood up to report:

"Supervisor, there's no useful information."

"The Polestar game's official website hasn't updated, only added a countdown timer."

"We collected his comments while gifting on various live platforms this afternoon."

"Still, there wasn't any useful information, only knowing the game would launch after the competition started."

Xu Huan shouted impatiently:

"Isn't that damn nonsense?!"

"Those sent to approach Polestar Company game employees, any news?"

The secretary shook his head:

"None at all."

"We've contacted everyone, but everyone knows Hao Wen is inside, so no one dares to disclose information."

"Also...."

"From the information gathered by Hao Wen, it was said the game was made in a day."

"Because after discovering the game was plagiarized, Zhao Ming locked himself in his office for a day."

"By the time their company partner arrived, it seemed the game was already completed."

"But that's all we know, Hao Wen was already beaten half to death by then."

Hearing this, Xu Huan's head was spinning.

One day?

One day?!!!

What the hell

A game made in one day dared to compete against the game they invested five hundred million Federation Coins to mimic?

How confident was he?!

"Keep investigating!"

"Based on their official website's game name!"

"Add a new DLC to 'Ruins of the Future: 2100,' bringing the world into a second war kind of scenario."

"Make it by noon tomorrow! Promote it widely!"

"This game 'Ruins of the Future: 2100' was invested with five hundred million; if taken down by Polestar Company, everyone is waiting to be kicked out!"

Spending five hundred million to copy others, yet being taken down in the "Anti-War Competition."

Not only was his reputation ruined, but the Emperor Penguin Group's reputation was gone too.

He dared not think of the consequences if the Polestar Game Company won an award.

As for his game department supervisor post, eight times out of ten, he'd be fired.

"Besides."

"Go find some paparazzi, buy some celebrity gossip."

"Give me something to put up."

"A few small celebrities dead is better than Polestar Game Company gaining popularity."

"Hurry up!"

How the Emperor Penguin Group was urgently doing PR, Zhao Ming didn't know.

But the hype was sky-high.

Looking at the constantly rising emotion value in the system, Zhao Ming's smile couldn't be contained.

With emotion values, he could continue to perfect the game.

Zhao Ming unlocked a bunch more World War II material, and further optimized the "Normandy Landing" battlefield.

Dying a hundred times to upgrade to Assault Boat Commander remained unchanged.

However, the condition for upgrading upon killing ten in a battle was changed to five, lowering the difficulty a bit.

After all, if no one upgraded, players would definitely point fingers at him.

But if the difficulty was slightly reduced.

Some exceptionally talented player would eventually upgrade to Assault Boat Commander, and during game launch allocation, ten ordinary players would be allocated to the commander player's boat.

That player who upgraded to commander would definitely brag.

But the game's difficulty was set like that.

No matter how you command, it's a sure fate of being cannon fodder.

With an Assault Boat Commander player, he could pass the buck.

Those ten ordinary players would express as Zhao Ming imagined:

[Screw you!!]

[Can you command or not?!]

[You're commanding your ****!!]

[Is your brain full of ***?!]

[You **** idiot!!!]

Transferring conflicts to the players.

Tsk....

I'm truly a genius.

If Shen Qinghan knew Zhao Ming's thoughts, he would definitely give a thumbs-up.

In terms of being unscrupulous, that's you for sure.

Although Zhao Ming had never played games, he's tried quite a few Blue Star games in the past two days and downloaded information on popular shooting games from Earth.

His understanding of games had improved significantly.

Therefore, he felt confidence in the game he created, "World War II: Empire's Rise."

However, the game review side encountered some issues.

The next day.

Inside Zhao Ming's office at Polestar Game Company.

Zhao Ming flipped through the files handed over by Shen Qinghan, then signed them and passed them back.

It was about the game's release contract.

Once signed, and other issues were resolved, it could go live anytime.

The current issue was with the game's CGI.

Shen Qinghan spoke:

"After packaging and your twisted theories."

"The game passed the review board."

"However, the game CGI was rejected. They demanded a remake, citing that the game CGI overly promotes war and imperialism."

"You need to add something."

"Or rather, not excessively promote.... just about the empire's supreme leader."

Zhao Ming's produced game CGI, Shen Qinghan watched several times, first showing the Third Empire's propaganda minister, in a grand hall rally, inciting the masses to war, made into such an exciting speech that everyone was moved, was evidently not permissible.

Although under such a dark tone, it indeed conveyed the Third Empire's sense of oppression, and the terror of that empire.

However....

It slightly contradicted the anti-war ideology of the current Six Major Federations.
