My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 90: Outrageous Lies
Shen Jun closed his eyes and pinched his philtrum frantically before he came to his senses.

"Huff—Huff—inhale—"

Shen Jun exhaled and felt better.

After a while, he regained his composure.

So he began to think about the whole thing.

But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt that he couldn't just let it go like this!
If the other party really uses CG to fake it, then I can't let the players be deceived.

After all, the other party is destroying the jobs of those domestic game developers who are really making good games!

Finally, he decided to find someone else to confirm his idea.

Shen Jun raised his buttocks slightly, half stood up and looked around.

Team Leader Feng is not here! Great!
So he quickly sneaked out of the planning work area, pretended to have work to discuss, and walked to the programming team's area.

Shen Jun found a programmer who was eating instant noodles.

"Hey!"

Zhao Jiajun was suddenly patted on the shoulder from behind, and he almost sucked the instant noodles into his nose.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death!"

He looked at Shen Jun with resentment and put down the instant noodles in his hand.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Jun chuckled and gave an apologetic look.

"Brother Zhao, let me show you a video. Can you help me take a look?"

"What video? I'm still busy..."

"Just a moment, just a moment!"

As he spoke, Shen Jun used his computer to search for the trailer of "Dragonborn: Eternal Fire".

"Look at it."

"Oh, isn't this the one that's also going to be a domestic 3A product..."

"Yes, yes, this is it!"

Shen Jun didn't expect that the other party was also interested. Just as he was about to introduce him to someone, the other party waved his hand.

"Hey, we haven't finished our own game yet, so I don't have time to take care of other people's projects. If you're free, I'll go first..."

"Hey hey!"

Shen Jun quickly stopped the other person's hand from closing the video.

"Who said this game has nothing to do with us? It's the same type of game as what we make. Shouldn't you take a look at it for us?"

After hearing this, the other party's expression changed slightly. It seemed that what he said touched his heart. In the end, he sighed and compromised.

"Okay, I'll finish watching this video. Don't come to me for anything else!"

"Sure, sure, sure."

After hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Shen Jun turned around and started playing the video.

Zhao Jiajun's expression was a little casual at first, but when the opening CG passed and the actual machine demonstration came out, he immediately frowned.

He looked at the screen with a serious expression, as if trying to capture something.

After just a few seconds, he pressed the pause button and turned to look at Shen Jun.

Shen Jun also nodded and looked into his eyes, and their eyes communicated in mid-air.

Shen Jun's eyes clearly showed that he had indeed asked him to come and see this.

"This isn't real gear, it's CG."

Zhao Jiajun made his conclusion without even reading the rest of the article.

"Are you so sure?"

Shen Jun was a little surprised. After all, it was only when he saw the reflection on the sword that he realized that this part might be CG. But how could the other party be so sure after just watching the beginning?

"Of course, it's too obvious."

"Watch the frame at a glance."

Zhao Jiajun's attitude was very firm.

He said with conviction, "There are so many things in this video that don't conform to real-time rendering. I can tell intuitively that this isn't a live demo."

"Here, this shadow."

"And here, this reflection."

Shen Jun took a closer look at the screen and was shocked. Oh my god, it’s true.

After hearing what Zhao Jiajun said, I took another look and realized that the forgery was indeed quite obvious.

However, to be on the safe side, Shen Jun still questioned it.

"What if they used some special means or black technology?"

Zhao Jiajun sneered and shook his head.

"Even if he really makes a game like this, is there any hardware that can run it?"

"These ambient light occlusions and reflected light are all places where hardware computing power is consumed."

"What hardware did they use for the actual demo?"

"TaihuLight supercomputer?"

"It's impossible, even if you think about it. Ultimately, they're going to sell the game, not the actual demo."

After hearing this, Shen Jun finally concluded that this was a fake!

Pure fake!

This company called Fenghun Wuxian used a CG animation carefully crafted to look like a real machine demonstration to tell a huge lie and deceive everyone.

However, this is still not enough to fool industry insiders like them.

This made Shen Jun even more confused. If he could see it, then surely many others could see it too. After all, there were at least millions of people working in the domestic gaming industry.

Aren’t they afraid of being exposed?
However, Shen Jun was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment.

He said to Zhao Jiajun in a serious tone, "Brother Zhao, can you provide a report from a technical perspective to explain what exactly is wrong with this actual machine demonstration?"

"What are you going to do!"

This gave Zhao Jiajun a shock.

"I want to expose them! Players must know that this trailer is fake." A fierce look flashed in Shen Jun's eyes. He had no plans to come back after graduation because he felt that the domestic gaming industry was full of people like this.

Later, when he saw the emergence of idealistic and capable companies like Megvii Games in China, he regained his confidence in the domestic game industry.

But now it seems that companies like Kuangshi Games are still a minority among the minority, and there are more companies like Fenghun Unlimited in China.

They have no conscience at all and don't care whether their products becoming rotten and smelly will affect players' trust in their future domestic games.

Now that he's back, he naturally doesn't plan to stay out of trouble. For the sake of the domestic gaming industry, Shen Jun is ready to fight him!

"Wait a minute! Don't be impatient!"

"Let me think about this again..."

Zhao Jiajun quickly stopped him, fearing that he would do something impulsive.

"Why not!" Shen Jun said excitedly, with a hint of a martyr's temperament. "They are deceiving ordinary consumers and all the players! If we all stand by and watch, can we expect the players to save themselves?"

"They are betraying the players' trust in the entire gaming industry. This is polluting the source of the entire river!"

After hearing this, Zhao Jiajun sighed and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"But you have to consider the impact on the Netherworld Mountain and Sea project and on our company."

"You are still an employee of Megvii Games. As soon as you post the video, they will uncover your identity."

"There are already a lot of people who are jealous of this project. Aren't you giving them something to talk about?"

Shen Jun was stunned when he heard this.

Indeed, if he really died together with the other party, it would be equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own, which would not matter.

However, the project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" is a 3A project that was finally developed in China, and it will also be pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

The media have been surrounding "The Netherworld" just to find out some inside information and make a big news.

In other words, "Youming Shanhai" itself has been keeping silent, and Antarctic Interactive Entertainment has helped to keep it quiet, so there has been no scandal for the time being.

But this incident is obviously the "big news" that the media expected.

"The Netherworld Mountains and Seas" must not be affected by these external events!

Others may not know, but does Shen Jun not know the quality of this game?

To be conservative, this is the game that opened the door to domestic 3A games.

Optimistically speaking, this game will go down in history.

Faced with the two contradictions, he really didn't know what to do.

So Zhao Jiajun spoke.

"Let's go talk to Brother Kuang, he must have a way."

When Shen Jun heard this, his eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned again.

No matter what, Zhou Kuang is the boss of Kuangshi Games. Will the other party really care about this matter?
What should he do if the other party tells him to give up and stop caring about this matter?

"Don't you still believe in Brother Kuang?"

Zhao Jiajun patted his shoulder comfortingly.

After hearing what Zhao Jiajun said, Shen Jun finally understood.

Yes, Zhou Kuang is not an ordinary boss. He must have dreams, otherwise he would not have done the project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas".

I guess you must hate this kind of thing!
……

……

……

"Um……"

After listening to Shen Jun and Zhao Jiajun's explanation of the whole story, Zhou Kuang sat in his office chair and fell into deep thought.

Shen Jun and Zhao Jiajun sat opposite him, with a hint of nervousness on their faces, waiting for his answer.

"So you're sure this trailer for Dragonborn: Eternal Flame is a CG imitation of a real gameplay demo, right?"

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure!" Shen Jun replied with a firm tone. "The actual machine demonstration in the video is full of loopholes, and all kinds of illogical light and shadow reflections can be seen everywhere. Zhao Jiajun and I are both sure that this is definitely CG!"

"I want to expose the truth about their fraudulent practices. They are not only deceiving players, but also undermining players' trust in the entire industry."

Zhao Jiajun also quickly followed and spoke for Shen Jun.

"Brother Kuang, this game is scheduled to be released before ours. If players discover their fake CG on that day, they will lose trust in domestic AAA standalone games."

"This will definitely have a negative impact on the sales of our game."

"So I think it's okay for us to expose it."

Zhao Jiajun's thinking was very clear. Regardless of whether Zhou Kuang would agree with their views because of Shen Jun's words, at least from the perspective of interests, he would definitely be able to touch the other party.

Sure enough, Zhou Kuang also nodded subconsciously.

But he still didn't answer, but sighed, with an expression on his face as if he was weighing something.

Shen Jun thought Zhou Kuang still disagreed with his revelation, so he continued to persuade him: "Brother Kuang, I know you are worried that the project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" will be implicated, but..."

Zhou Kuang raised his hand to interrupt him and said with a smile.

"Who said I was worried about Netherworld Mountain and Sea being implicated?"

"Huh? Then..."

Shen Jun was at a loss.
