Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

The strange comments made Xilin raise an eyebrow, and then a smile appeared on her face.

Oh, so these bastards finally know how to respect her?

The live stream started, and she first waved at the camera, then said smugly, "Hmph, now you finally know how powerful I, Lady Sirin, am! You'd better show me some respect!"

Seeing the unprecedentedly harmonious barrage of comments, Xilin felt like her tail was about to swell to the sky.

Unfortunately, Celine seems to have forgotten that this is online, not in reality.

Before she could even gloat for a couple of minutes, some hot-tempered older folks couldn't hold back and started arguing with her. Seeing this, everyone quickly stopped pretending, and Xilin soon turned bright red like a pufferfish, which caused a burst of laughter.

"Fine, fine, you bunch of bastards! I was hoping to give you a good look today, but now that's all gone!!"

[Eye-pleasing? Who are you looking at? You're not looking at me, are you?]

[Le, is there really any point in looking at someone whose front and back you can't even tell if they're looking at their face?]

[Pufferfish, can you please stop humiliating yourselves?]

[I'd rather take more pictures of that old thief right now; it's been so long since I've seen his legs, I'm really drooling.]

[Not a buddy?]

The chaotic barrage of comments made Xilin laugh in anger. She sneered and said in a low voice, "Fine, fine, you said it yourself."

At this moment, Xilin turned her head and looked at her girlfriends sitting next to her with a pleading look.

Everyone laughed and gave her a no-brainer, which made Xilin proudly straighten her chest.

Well, if you hold it up, you can at least tell there are two xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

Then, she moved the camera to the left, and Kiana, Seele, Mei, and Greta all smiled and waved at the camera.

Before the audience could get a good look, she quickly moved the camera to the right.

This one is even more heavyweight.

Ellie made a little heart shape with her hands, Eden smiled and waved, while Möbius was much more casual, glancing at her as a greeting.

Each person paused for only a second before Celine quickly put her phone away, her expression disdainful, and said sarcastically, "Oh dear, I was hoping to get a few good friends to appear on camera with me today, but some people just can't seize the opportunity. Oh well~"

After saying that, Xilin felt as refreshed as if she had taken a sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day. She was almost laughing out loud when she glanced at the comments on the screen. She couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

【I'm so sorry, Lady Sirin, please, the child is just a child and doesn't understand!!!】

[I'm sorry, buddy, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please give me another chance!!!]

【Holy crap, who did I see?! Eden?! Pufferfish, I've never asked you for anything in my life, please, let me see Eden just once more, just once...】

My brother has terminal cancer. He told me his last wish is for you, Pufferfish, to turn the camera around a few more times. Please grant his wish; I'll do anything!

[Just thinking about how these are all mid-to-high-level employees in Gensokyo makes me really want to work there!!!]

[Thanks for the invitation. I just got off the bus. I'm an employee of Gensokyo. I know someone here, so I'll remain anonymous. These girls are indeed beautiful, but they can't compare to that old thief. He comes to our work area all the time. If you don't know something, he'll put his arm around your shoulder and gently teach you. Just hearing his voice makes me... I just... *ssss*...]

【unbelievable! 】

Seeing the comments, Xilin raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Hey, you upstairs who's saying 'Old Thief' is good, give me your employee number, the company will give you a bonus later."

[Harbin people, you're feeling refreshed.]

[Hey, do you really not know who the pufferfish likes? This is blatant disrespect!]

[I'm speechless. I envy that old thief's every day.]

After exchanging a few more words with the viewers in the live chat, the press conference officially began. Xilin also took out a stand and pointed the camera at the stage in the venue.

Soon, an elegant woman with short, gray-gold hair walked onto the stage, her wine-red eyes blinking gently, naturally revealing a hint of allure.

Holding a memory aid card in her hands wrapped in black lace, she approached the microphone and began her opening remarks in a soft voice.

These opening remarks are nothing more than some talk about reminiscing about the present and looking forward to the future. Everyone is getting tired of hearing them these days. Apart from the reporters with their long lenses and microphones diligently taking pictures, although the people present looked serious, very few were actually listening carefully.

"This person looks familiar."

Looking at the stage, Bronya frowned and said in confusion.

"Rita, back in St. Freya, she was with Theresa."

Enjoying Kaguya's warm little hands massaging his palms, Nangong Yu said softly.

He was surprised to see Rita go on stage; he'd only run into 'acquaintances' today.

But then again, considering that Destiny is one of the main organizers of this event, it's not surprising that Rita is in charge of hosting it.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that some of these people had come prepared.

Recalling what Sister Karen had told her, Rita delivered her opening remarks skillfully and appropriately while glancing at the front of the hall. When she noticed Nangong Yu looking over, she naturally looked away.

The lengthy opening finally ended, and soon it was time for the new game announcement segment that everyone was most looking forward to.

At this point, smaller studios were naturally not qualified to participate. Only Destiny, Anti-Entropy, Shinjo, Gensokyo, and a few other powerful game companies were eligible to participate and be discussed separately.

The first one is reverse entropy.

After Rita read out a brief introduction about entropy, a mature man with brown hair and brown eyes, who was gentle and refined, walked up to the stage.

In an instant, Nangong Yu's eyes widened.

Walter himself came?!

In recent years, Walter has basically retired from the limelight and rarely participates in various activities, so much so that the audience was stunned for a few seconds before a series of gasps of surprise rang out.

In their eyes, this person was on par with the Archbishop of Destiny, yet he came to this small place to participate in the game exhibition. The flashes of cameras instantly filled the air, snapping away non-stop.

Although Rita knew the situation from the beginning, she was still a little nervous in front of this legendary figure and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect it would be you coming in person!"

Upon hearing this, Walter chuckled softly, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I prefer to be called a game designer rather than the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance."

Regardless of what others think when they hear this, that's exactly what Walter really thinks.

If it weren't for his subordinates holding him back, he would have quit being the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance long ago and handed it over to Cocolia so he could quietly draw his comics and make his games.

"You're really being modest."

With a sigh, Rita continued, "Did you come here to witness a new beginning for the Houmu series in the field of virtual reality, and to see the Houmu series continue to shine in this new world?"

"That's part of it. After all, as the creator of Houmu, it's only natural to want to see your creations shine."

Walter pushed up his glasses again and said gently, "However, the more important point is that I am the lead designer of this game."

Wow! !

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in an uproar. Nangong Yu sat up straight instinctively, while Bronya frowned.

Previously, Anti-Entropy hadn't revealed who the designer of their new game was, but now they've dropped a bombshell!

"This is truly... astonishing."

Rita covered her lips slightly and said with a hint of surprise.

"I've already said it, I prefer to be a game designer."

The reporters present were flashing their cameras almost nonstop, and their hands were so busy writing that they were practically smoking the paper.

"How does it feel to compete on the same stage as your former idol?"

Noticing Bronya's tense body, Nangong Yu took her hand and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Bronya gave him an amused look: "You said yourself that you were a former idol."

Nangong Yu's voice was like some kind of magic potion, instantly relaxing her. She shifted her position closer to him and gently leaned on his shoulder: "Don't you know who I admire now?"

Her voice was low, with a hint of coquetry.

After saying that, she gave him another playful glare. This guy was actually jealous about this? How adorable!

"Then let's work together to leave the old waves on the beach!"

After making a joke, Nangong Yu suddenly felt her hand squeeze a few times and immediately turned to look at Kaguya.

"So, Bronya's idol used to be Mr. Walter?"

"When I was little, I really liked Houmu back then."

Bronya waved her hand and said.

“But my idol has always been, and will always be, my husband,” Kaguya said with a smile.

Bronya: “?”

What do you mean?

"Kaguya, stop teasing her. She's not scared; she was just a little surprised."

After coughing twice, Nangong Yu quickly pulled Kaguya back.

"Is that so? Then I have made a fool of myself."

Bronya gave her a resentful look, and was about to retort when she suddenly heard Walter's voice from the stage.

"If we don't work harder, the young people will push us old guys out of the picture."

In terms of IP value, Pokémon is already very close to Houmu. Given Pokémon's unstoppable momentum, surpassing it is practically inevitable.

After he finished speaking, he smiled and glanced at Nangong Yu below the stage.

Everyone naturally understood who he was talking about, and all eyes turned to him. Nangong Yu quickly let go of Bronya and Kaguya's hands, sat up straight, and smiled modestly.

Unfortunately, the tension that the reporters had hoped for didn't materialize. Walter made a statement and then changed the subject elsewhere.

After speaking for a while and answering questions from some lucky audience members and reporters, the presentation segment soon began.

Please support our new game, "Houmu Racing"!

As soon as he finished speaking, music began to play on the big screen.

Chapter 298 What are you trying to do, kid?!

The music is quite cheerful, and even before the visuals appear, you can already feel the tone of the game.

And indeed, the logo of Anti-Entropy Entertainment flashed by, and as the song began, a starlight track resembling a roller coaster appeared on the screen.

Eight people shouted as they fell from the sky, then transformed into tiny, chibi-style figures in mid-air with a series of bangs.

First up is the classic yellow Houmu, followed by pink Houmu and red Houmu. And then there are more little surprises for players.
