Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Pikachu Pikachu~

A flash of yellow lightning streaked across the screen, and an adorable Pikachu curiously looked at its two short arms. Amidst the clanging of mechanical sounds, the cute Alahato mech spewed out a dazzling tail flame behind it.

A little knight wearing a cloak emerged from the shadows, with a pea shooter bobbing on his head.

This obvious collaboration made everyone's eyes widen in excitement. Bronya was also surprised and slightly opened her mouth before whispering, "Was that the authorization that Anti-Entropy Entertainment applied for last time?"

"Ah."

While everyone's attention was focused on the screen, Nangong Yu quietly took Bronya and Kaguya's hands again. With seats behind them providing cover, he wasn't worried about being seen by the reporters behind them.

A few months ago, Anti-Entropy applied for licenses for several popular IPs under Gensokyo. Although most of Anti-Entropy Entertainment's staff belonged to Welt, they were essentially family. And family members shouldn't be blocked.

After informing Cocolia, Nangong Yu signed the agreement, and I didn't expect it to be released right at the beginning of the PV.

On the one hand, it's leveraging the popularity of these trending IPs; on the other hand, it's showing goodwill towards Gensokyo, since promotion is always a two-way street.

Later, in addition to the Gensokyo IP, various well-known IP characters from Anti-Entropy Entertainment were also featured, which made the fans of these IPs cheer.

Eight vehicles, some go-karts and some motorcycles, race on the track, and items will spawn along the way at certain intervals.

Banana peels, cherry bombs, jetpacks, and even some quirky gadgets that can turn your car into Pokémon rides—it's all about randomness.

Some transformed into goats, leisurely walking and grazing, while others became like Miltons, their path filled with lightning and thunder, stunning all their opponents.

The entire track was incredibly chaotic, with all sorts of strange props and toy cars flying around, making it quite entertaining to watch.

While this game mode is quite classic in racing games, classic doesn't mean outdated. A classic is one that has stood the test of time and is enjoyed by most players, having the largest audience.

For their first game, Entropy Entertainment opted for a conservative and cautious approach, prioritizing broad appeal.

[I can already picture the scene of laughing and joking with my brothers all the way.]

[For one person, this is a decent side dish; for two people, it's a more substantial meal at a small restaurant; but if you gather eight friends, it's a full-course Manchu Han Imperial Feast!!]

But if it's a virtual pod, I can't control eight characters by myself anymore. How am I supposed to gather eight people?

The game looks really good, but the system requirements are a bit high.

[Speaking of which, this game has a strong Gensokyo vibe to it. I'd believe it if you told me it was made in Gensokyo, with all this talk of reversed celestial beings.]

【….】

The PV clearly explained the game modes, and players naturally couldn't sit still, starting to offer their sharp comments.

After Anti-Entropy Entertainment finished, Shencheng Technology followed closely behind, and Raven went up.

After completing the entire process, everyone wore strange expressions as they looked at the race car that was also displayed in the PV.

Good grief, the first two are about to start a fight.

However, although both of these eight are racing cars, the game content is also different.

The Anti-Entropy area is mainly cartoonish, while the Divine City area is quite realistic.

It collaborates with almost all car manufacturers on the market, allowing you to unlock virtually all car models in the world. Of course, it also offers a wealth of customization features, allowing you to design your own car.

The demonstration track is also a classic road. As cars drive by, the reflections and splashes of water under the extreme light and shadow look almost identical to reality.

Can you tell the difference between games and reality?

The PV was still showcasing the game's details, but the comments section was already filled with insults.

[As expected, he's this kind of realistically handsome. What were those cartoon cars just now? For kids, right?]

[Yes, yes, go-karts are for kids. Does the 'adult' in front know how to shift gears? Does the uncle need to teach you how to fasten your seatbelt?]

Even if you're terrible at the games, it's still better than your game where you just move the steering wheel and press the accelerator.

[It's full of Gensokyo stuff, and they call it Anti-Entropy Entertainment? They might as well call it a Gensokyo branch factory! Shameful!]

[Wait a minute, you can keep criticizing, but please don't drag Gensokyo into this, okay? Stop trying to sow discord!]

【….】

The heated exchange in the comments section didn't stop until Shencheng Technology's PV ended.

When Destiny enters the game, things become more harmonious. Destiny is the undisputed leader among the three, and their game is a sports-related one, so it doesn't conflict with the other two.

The name is simple: a sports tycoon. He has practically monopolized all the popular sports on the market.

Like football, basketball, table tennis, badminton...

"That's ruthless..."

Looking at the exquisite visuals in the PV, Nangong Yu sighed.

"Hmm?" Bronya tilted her head in confusion.

"This move by Tianming has completely blocked the path for a bunch of small studios. Shooter, racing and sports are the three most popular game genres, and there are naturally many companies making sports games. Now that Tianming has done this, how are those small studios supposed to survive?"

Upon hearing this, Bronya and Kaguya both seemed to realize something.

"Indeed, small factories can't compete with Tianming in terms of quality. It seems they can only differentiate themselves in certain aspects."

"Like murder tennis?"

"Pfft~ It's not impossible."

Nangong Yu simply sighed and didn't think too much about it. After all, it wouldn't affect Gensokyo, so why should he bother with it?

It is only because of Tianming that they dare to do such a near-monopolistic thing. With such a large and powerful family, they are naturally not afraid of the protests of those small factories.

You disagree? If you disagree, then release a new game of even better quality!

After Schicksal finished his introduction, Bronya and Kaguya released his hands: "It's your turn."

They said it at the same time.

On stage, Rita smiled and said, "Thank you to Tianming Entertainment for bringing us this new game, and thank you to the designers for their explanation. Now, let's welcome a new friend."

Rita looked at Nangong Yu with gentle eyes and continued, "A few years ago, a pixel game called 'To the Moon' brought tears to the eyes of countless players, and the company behind the game also came into our view for the first time."

"Just when we were questioning whether his success would be short-lived, he delivered an incredibly brilliant performance: Hollow Knight, Pokémon, Apex Legends, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Plants vs. Zombies... one hit game after another propelled the company to astonishing heights, and the legendary designer was hailed as a god by the players..."

After praising him for a full minute, Rita finally reached out her hand to Nangong Yu.

"Now, let's welcome Gensokyo's designer, Nangong, to the stage!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu stood up, tugged at her clothes a couple of times, turned around and waved to the audience before walking onto the stage amidst a flurry of flashing lights.

"Hello everyone, I am Nangong Yu from Gensokyo."

With a smile, Rita introduced herself and immediately chimed in, "Speaking of which, shouldn't I, like the players, respectfully call him 'Old Thief Nangong'?"

"Is 'old thief' already a term of respect? I remember that was when players first started cursing me because of the storyline about going to the moon."

With a chuckle, Nangong Yu said.

"As a loyal fan of Gensokyo, I feel that everyone thinks so."

Rita winked at him, and Nangong Yu asked in surprise, "Aren't you one of the chosen ones?"

"There's no rule that says Schicksal employees can't like other companies' games, especially one from Gensokyo, right?"

Hearing her pointed remark, Nangong Yu quickly coughed twice to change the subject.

"Alright, enough joking around. Compared to the previous three, Gensokyo is arguably the youngest company. As the most important core member of this company, designer Nangong, do you have anything to say?"

Composing herself, Rita asked softly.

"What I really want to say... is to thank the players for their support. Thank you all for liking Gensokyo's games. Without your support, Gensokyo wouldn't have been able to get to where it is today."

He spoke these words sincerely; that's just how reality is. Without players, a game is nothing.

"I also want to thank my friends who have been by my side and the hardworking members of Gensokyo. Gensokyo's achievements today are inseparable from everyone's efforts. I have only made some insignificant contributions."

[That old thief is being modest.]

[A quote suddenly came to mind: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but that one percent of inspiration is often more important than the ninety-nine percent of perspiration. That old rascal is that one percent.]

[Tears welling up, the old thief truly is always thinking about the players.]

After a brief moment of sentimentality, Rita quickly added, "Whether players like Gensokyo or not is immediately clear from its current popularity. Being too modest isn't a good thing."

After speaking, she looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "What are your thoughts on virtual reality, designer Nangong?"

Upon hearing the question, Nangong Yu thought for a moment and said, "I won't mention other aspects since they are not areas I am familiar with, but as for games, I can assure you that this is absolutely revolutionary. The difference between traditional game modes and virtual reality is just too great."

"So, what are the plans for Gensokyo's future?"

"The plan is to continuously release a variety of interesting new games for players. We have many projects waiting to be completed. Of course, we also plan to bring some older games to virtual reality. Please look forward to it."

After a few more words about future ideas, the time allotted for the designers to speak was already short, and soon it was time for the lucky audience segment.

Aside from the reporters, most of those present were lucky players who had drawn the entry tickets. Upon hearing that they could ask Lao Ze a question, one or two of them excitedly raised their hands.

Nangong Yu glanced around and was surprised to spot a familiar face. She immediately smiled and pointed at him.

"Dude, you're the one. We've known each other for a long time."

That's right, the guy who impersonated Nan Tong at the mini-game festival has come again. Nangong Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the coincidence.

Seeing that the old thief still remembered him, the boy excitedly took the microphone handed to him by the staff and stood up.

"I didn't expect to be selected, it seems I'm quite lucky."

Scratching his head, he immediately asked excitedly, "Old rascal, I want to ask, will all those games from the PV at the beginning of last year be released in Gensokyo?"

Nangong Yu smiled and casually said, "I've already written the draft plan in my spare time."

"!!!! Okay, okay, I'll definitely support it if it's released!!!"

[Damn it, you've got that old thief wrapped up!]

[Will the game even be released? The planning documents are already written. The thing is, the old fox's expression is so casual, like it's a trivial matter. He's really putting on airs.]

[Taking a break... As a fellow game designer, I rack my brains trying to come up with even a simple game. How can there be such a huge difference between people?]

[Ugh, he's pretending again. He was so touched just now, now I want to punch that old scoundrel.]

After he finished speaking, the boy sat down.

The second person was a girl. She said, "Old thief, you said that old games will be ported to virtual reality. Will Plants vs. Zombies be in it? I really like this game. I wonder if I can play it in virtual reality."

“It will be transplanted,” Nangong Yu said.

But before the girl could get excited, he spoke up again: "However, the game mode might undergo a slight change."
