Chapter 163

As for Grand's side...

But nothing happened.

Wang Meng and Xie Lin's cooperation went very smoothly.

Only a week has passed, and they have almost finished developing Devil May Cry.

They even let Lu Yu come over tomorrow to try it out.

Lu Yu actually has been watching their game development process these past few days.

So...

Lu Yu was very clear that their completion level was high, even more appealing than the Devil May Cry he played in his previous life.

The next day, Lu Yu tried out Devil May Cry.

In terms of smoothness, it is higher than the Devil May Cry on the nose.

The visuals, thanks to Xie Lin's team's pursuit of excellence, have become more splendid.

Overall, the game's quality is higher.

Lu Yu even played for three hours straight!

"When the deadline's last day arrives, we will submit the game."

"You've worked hard."

After finishing the trial play, Lu Yu smiled and said to Xie Lin, Wang Meng, and the others:

Afterwards, Lu Yu specially went out with them to celebrate.

Recently online, discussions about Lu Yu have calmed down a lot.

But just today, the day before the deadline, someone came out to cause trouble again.

Kai En posted a message on his personal social network.

"I am very interested in Lu Yu."

"Starting from Plants vs. Zombies, I have been paying attention to him."

"He is a genius, a true genius in game development."

"He continually pushes the limits of game innovation."

"So, I regard Lu Yu as my opponent."

"Now, for me, this is a very good opportunity."

"This is the first time I will compete on the same stage as Lu Yu, and it might be the only time in my life."

"So, I thought long and hard and made a decision."

"I will issue a challenge to Lu Yu."

"This time, the game I will use to participate in the creator competition is called 'Apocalypse Descends'."

"Please instruct me."

Abroad, this message, upon being posted, immediately attracted the attention of countless gamers.

Kai En, this name means almost the same as 'god' to overseas players.

Kai En is the game director of one of the world's top ten game companies.

He has produced countless classic games.

He is already not young, at forty-five years old.

But Kai En is not like other middle-aged men; he can keep up with the times, always able to create something entirely new that suits the tastes of today's youth.

His ranking in the Game Alliance is within the top ten!

This ranking is different from Thomas's, and it carries more weight.

After all, Thomas's ranking is only for young people, whereas the list Kai En is on targets all game creators.

One could say that Kai En is an undisputed big shot in the gaming world.

Such a figure actually issued a challenge to Lu Yu!

How could this not cause a sensation?

"Holy crap! What a lineup! Kai En actually came to challenge Lu Yu!"

"This is like a national gold-medal athlete challenging a sports enthusiast!"

"I just want to ask, who else?!"

"You all used to say Lu Yu couldn't do it; now I want to ask, who still dares to say Lu Yu can't?"

"Even top overseas game developers acknowledge Lu Yu's skill; we are his comrades, so how could we not acknowledge his excellence?"

"Saying nothing else, from now on Lu Yu will be my idol!"

The netizens were all excited.

After all, Huaxia's gaming scene has actually never been able to make it onto the international stage, but now it has received recognition, and from such a big figure as Kai En.

This time, the netizens all felt a sense of relief and pride.

The entire internet became an ocean of celebration.

Grand, inside Lu Yu's office.

Lu Yu also saw Kai En's message, but he was not happy; instead, his brows furrowed tightly.

This Kai En is really formidable!

Or rather, the person behind this is very capable.

On the surface, Kai En was praising Lu Yu, giving Lu Yu absolute face.

But...

There's a saying: the higher someone is praised, the more it hurts when they fall.

Now the other side has already pushed Lu Yu to a great height; when the time comes...

What if Lu Yu falls?

Or someone might say, Kai En just sent a message praising Lu Yu; is Lu Yu's interpretation too dark?

This world indeed has much beauty.

But...

If Kai En doesn't have ulterior motives, why would he suddenly release such news at this time?

More importantly, Kai En explicitly stated the name of the game he is participating in this competition.

If Lu Yu agrees to the other's match, does he also have to tell everyone his game name?

If that's the case, wouldn't Lu Yu's score from the judges be targeted?

Finally...

If Lu Yu loses, and Kai En then says 'I overestimated Lu Yu', what would happen then?

The netizens who now fawn over him will probably become enemies who wish to kill Lu Yu then.

Compared to Tuomas's direct rebuttal, this Kai En is the hardest to deal with!

Now the other side can attack when advancing and defend when retreating!

If they win, they naturally win everything.

If they lose, they won't lose face!

So, Lu Yu's current situation is actually not good.

His best response is actually to ignore it.

Although, this will make the netizens unhappy.

And at this moment, Lu Yu's phone suddenly rang.

It was Mr. Qin's call.

Lu Yu's eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly, then he answered the phone.

……

Moyuwangka Zongdian.

Lu Yu and Mr. Qin sat opposite each other.

"Your internet cafe is getting better and better."

"Many of my friends have expressed wanting to buy a portion of your Moyuwangka shares at a high price."

Mr. Qin looked at Lu Yu, sighing as he spoke.

Given the current development speed of Moyuwangka...

Mr. Qin knows that it won't take long before Moyuwangka's value surpasses Grand.

"Just for fun." Lu Yu said with a smile.

Mr. Qin fell silent for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Lu Yu's meaning was a refusal.

"You came to see me, it's not just about the Moyuwangka shares, right?" Lu Yu looked at Mr. Qin.

"This is part of the reason."

"Moreover..."

"I recently received news from Qin You."

"Qin You said that you may have already attracted the attention of some big shots."

"You should understand what these big shots I'm referring to represent."

"They are existences you cannot currently contend with."

"Qin You also... they might want to ruin you."

"Because they know you are Huaxia people, they cannot use you."

Mr. Qin pondered for a moment, then said thus.

When he finished saying this, even Mr. Qin felt immense pressure.
