Chapter 148

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and decided to first stroll around a few nearby streets.

That stroll truly left Lu Yu completely confused.

Earlier, Lu Yu had also observed a few nearby streets.

Because this place is on the edge of the urban area, it is actually more of a residential district.

Therefore, there are not many shops nearby, so a good commercial atmosphere cannot form.

This is also the main reason Xiao Min could purchase that small building at a low price.

But now…

Lu Yu cannot even count how many stores are under renovation.

People who don't understand would even think this is another commercial center planned by the relevant authorities.

That is indeed strange.

Earlier, Lu Yu had not heard that the relevant authorities would develop this area, nor that any major investment would shift toward here.

However, this is not a bad thing.

More shops can bring more foot traffic.

When all these shops open, this place could even become another commercial center.

If a sufficiently good commercial atmosphere can be created, this place might even become another city center.

When Lu Yu left, he deliberately let Xiao Min learn about the situation here.

…

The negotiation with Lu Yu made Qian Zhong very unhappy.

Qian Zhong is the General Manager of Pioneer Capital, and throughout his life has experienced countless negotiations, almost always securing contracts with absolute advantage.

But with Lu Yu, this kid, he was outmaneuvered.

Qian Zhong naturally has some petty grievances toward Lu Yu.

But after calming down, Qian Zhong's regard for Lu Yu increased again!

Why?

Being able to overwhelm this negotiation expert in talks proves Lu Yu's skill, doesn't it?

Therefore, Qian Zhong did not change the original plan; he even increased the investment.

By the way, Qian Zhong's original plan was to cooperate with Lu Yu.

If cooperation fails, Qian Zhong will open shops near the site chosen for Lu Yu's Moyuwangka.

Yes!

Now, the newly opened shops on the streets near the Moyuwangka flagship store are all Qian Zhong's investments!

Indeed, Qian Zhong's investment unit is not a single shop but an entire street!

Pioneer Capital's capital is actually far higher than Lu Yu imagined.

Qian Zhong's vision is also far beyond what Lu Yu imagined.

Additionally, it must be said that among the shops Qian Zhong invested in, there are also plans for a café.

Qian Zhong intends to open a Moyu-like café here.

And he believes that with the support of countless shops, he can definitely defeat Moyuwangka.

At that point, Qian Zhong can naturally climb the ranks by stepping on Moyuwangka!

Qian Zhong wants Lu Yu to know how foolish it is to refuse cooperation with him.

…

In the blink of an eye, three more days passed.

The first deadline of the International Game Maker Competition finally arrived!

Lu Yu naturally submitted the game on time.

It should be noted here that there were as many as 231 participants in this International Game Maker Competition.

That is to say, 231 companies entered the competition.

Naturally, all participants submitted their games on time.

According to the rules, the first round will directly eliminate 131 participants, leaving only 100 participants after the first round.

Eliminating more than half the contestants at once is undeniably cruel.

Moreover, the judges for this competition are actually divided into parts.

One part consists of professional game people, a total of 100.

The other part is ordinary players.

The organizers prepared a game Download platform for this competition, where anyone can download the submitted games and give ratings.

Of course, the distribution of these games is anonymous.

That is to say, only when the results are out will everyone know who was eliminated and who advanced.

This guarantees the fairness of the judging.

…

Stephen is a highly respected member of the Game Alliance.

He has made great contributions to the gaming world.

Stephen was among the first game people to promote games to the public at large.

Since then, he has never left the industry.

In fact, the Game Alliance was founded by Stephen and a few old friends together.

Stephen places immense importance on this competition.

He naturally knew about some small actions of the people below.

But he didn't mind.

Because it didn't affect the progress of the competition.

Even, some of Tuomas's actions drew more attention to this competition!

This is a good thing!

For people who have reached a certain status, what they see is no longer right or wrong, nor even a temporary win or loss; they always have a grand goal in mind, and moreover they have a scale to make judgments.

Of course, at this point, for Stephen, the most important thing is naturally the game itself.

Now, he, like the other competition judges, is trying out the games.

To be honest, evaluating the quality of over two hundred games is not a simple matter.

The number is too large, and the required time is too long.

Stephen knew that the judges were actually divided into several groups, each group evaluating a portion of the games.

But Stephen did not join these groups.

He intended to play all the games through.

It must be said that the quality of the games submitted this time is truly high.

Even some games made Stephen want to keep playing.

In this way, a week passed.

Stephen devoted almost all his time to the games.

This also caused Stephen to become extremely fatigued.

He glanced at Li Biao and discovered there were still ten games left to play.

Stephen's eyes, from long hours facing the computer and lack of sufficient rest, had become extremely cloudy, and his overall condition was poor.

At this point, Stephen could actually just leave.

He had already been serious enough, hardworking enough.

Playing two hundred games in a week can already be called a miracle.

After Stephen took a deep breath, he clicked open one of the games again.

"Angry Birds"?

Stephen saw the game title and felt that this name……was too ordinary!

He didn't think much and entered the game.

The game started, and the screen began to shake.

The screen quickly shifted from the target to the "little chick" side; this process was presented in a panoramic mode, thus giving a sense of spatial jump.

This easily makes people feel dizzy.

Just like playing some shooting games, because of the violent shaking of the camera, the operator will feel dizzy and nauseous.

This actually has nothing to do with the game's quality; it's merely an impact caused by a visual effect.

Stephen was already sufficiently fatigued; seeing such a screen almost made him vomit.

However……

Stephen forcibly perked up his spirits and continued the game.

He felt even more nauseous!

Because the screen is overly three‑dimensional, people will feel a resonance as if they move with the screen.
