Chapter 184: Another incident occurred!

Before we have fully prepared the research center, the fruit phone has probably already been released, right?

By then, we will naturally have a research subject.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, and could only say this.

At the same time, Lu Yu actually felt pressure as well.

Lu Yu indeed has concepts and technology surpassing this era, but others don't!

You know, the birth of the fruit water machine certainly cost countless manpower and material resources.

This also involves a fundamental problem.

Huaxia's technical staff have a weaker foundation compared to others; this cannot be made up by Lu Yu's individual ability alone.

A towering building rises from the ground.

To truly catch up with others, even surpass them, Lu Yu needs to devote more thought and pay a greater price.

This is a long-term, steady effort.

So, Lu Yu is not now delving into discussions about direction and technical issues; he is merely urging Chen Hao to quickly organize the team.

Once the research center's renovation is complete and equipment is fully ready, we will immediately enter the state, racing against time.

……

The International Game Maker Competition has encountered a new problem.

A contestant named Luka uploaded a game.

Yes!

Before the deadline of the third round had arrived, Luka had already uploaded the game, allowing all players to download it.

This matter quickly caused a sensation.

Because this kind of thing had never happened in the previous two rounds!

"Why did Luka upload the game so early? Is he violating the rules? Does the Game Alliance allow such behavior?"

"Perhaps not? After all, the Game Alliance has never explicitly forbidden uploading games early; it's just that no one had done so before."

"Isn't this behavior unfair to the other contestants? After all, other players might not have finished developing their games yet."

"Luka's early upload will surely attract more attention, and download numbers and other data will definitely give him an edge."

"That's precisely why the Game Alliance has a unified submission deadline!"

"But still, the Game Alliance has never set an explicit rule! As long as Luka submits his game to the Game Alliance earlier, his current behavior poses no problem."

For a moment, both overseas and domestic netizens were discussing this issue.

Both sides had ample evidence and firm arguments.

Seen this way, they both seem to be right.

So, the final result will likely have to be decided by the Game Alliance.

……

Grand, inside Lu Yu's office.

"Xiao Yu, this incident probably didn't happen by chance, right?" Chen Qiao, who was not originally a conspiracy theorist, couldn't help but suspect after a series of mishaps.

From changes to the competition format to the mishap befalling Luka now, everything indicates a fact: someone is targeting Lu Yu!

Lu Yu couldn't say much about it, only saying, "Let's wait and see."

After thinking, Lu Yu brought Chen Qiao to the technical department and found Wang Meng.

"Get ready for the launch of 'Energetic Dance Troupe'."

Lu Yu temporarily couldn't guess the other party's true intentions, so he could only make all preparations.

Then……

Then, at this moment, another mishap occurred.

Not only Luka, but other game developers also uploaded games.

Strangely, up to now only two contestants have done this.

Moreover, what needs to be emphasized is the attitude of the Game Alliance officials.

So far, the matter has actually attracted widespread attention, yet the Game Alliance has shown no reaction!

This is really strange!

……

Time flew by, and now it's three days later.

Grand, inside Lu Yu's office.

"Xiao Yu, the Game Alliance officials still have no reaction up to now."

"Now many contestants have started releasing their games."

"We… should we also distribute our game?"

Chen Qiao pondered for a while before speaking to Lu Yu.

This matter indeed puts Chen Qiao in a difficult position.

Because during these three days, the games released early have all garnered great attention, with download numbers being astonishing.

First, the game quality is indeed good; second, at this time few games are released simultaneously, so players have few alternatives and naturally download directly.

Third, and most fundamentally, the International Game Maker Competition has so far attracted too many players.

Moreover, it must be said that these games are being released on each contestant's own company platform.

Thus, this wave has earned them considerable attention for their companies.

Chen Qiao doesn't care about these; he worries that Lu Yu will be slow step by step.

After all, there are still almost three weeks until the game deadline!

During these three weeks, if Lu Yu never takes action, wouldn't he fall far behind others!

By then, even if Lu Yu's game is one level above all the other games, what then?

Download numbers need to be accumulated, and reputation also needs time to ferment.

Lu Yu also couldn't help but frown at this moment; his biggest worry now is whether the contestants' early upload of the game was accidental or someone deliberately arranged it behind the scenes.

The former, actually it's not a problem.

If it's the latter…

Lu Yu believes that when he releases his game, there will be unforeseen consequences.

Although, Lu Yu indeed doesn't care much about his ranking in the competition.

But if he can win, and give a hard slap to the face of the person behind the scenes, why wouldn't Lu Yu do it?

So, Lu Yu continues to wait, waiting for further developments.

"We'll temporarily hold our position, see what tricks they're up to," Lu Yu replied to Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao also had no choice, so he silently left.

……

By the fifth day, the heat of the matter of contestants prematurely releasing the game had actually already subsided.

But at this moment, the Game Alliance finally took action, they issued an announcement.

This announcement immediately sparked heated discussion among all players.

"Everyone, regarding the matter of contestants prematurely releasing the game, we are currently having a heated discussion."

"Because opinions differ greatly, we still haven't been able to give a clear decision so far."

"We will continue the discussion, and in the shortest time we will produce a sufficiently convincing decision."

"Also, we want to solemnly remind the contestants here, don't harbor a luck-based mentality."

"In our Game Alliance's competition, only strength can determine the final results!"
