147: Chapter 147 China Wins
The host's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Zhou Yang's words.
But she still maintained her smile, looked at Zhou Yang, and asked, "Mr. Zhou Yang, will your future new games continue to develop in this direction?"
Zhou Yang nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, I already have an idea for my next game."
Seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across the host's face.
The audience below was also somewhat astonished.
In particular, many prominent figures had looks of astonishment flash in their eyes.
Having an idea for the next game already—could it be that it's already been developed?
This one game alone raked in tens of billions; if there were a few more games, wouldn't he be making a fortune?
Thinking of this, a hint of fervor immediately surfaced in their eyes as they looked at Zhou Yang.
They couldn't help but be tempted by such a business, which could be described as highly profitable.
However, the gaming industry had long been occupied by an old giant like Yiteng Group.
Latecomers who wanted to squeeze in needed to have real skills.
And not just rely on throwing money around.
After all, Yiteng Group was not someone to be trifled with.
Now, such a dark horse had strongly stirred up the stagnant water of the gaming industry, making them see that opportunity was right before their eyes.
They couldn't touch this dark horse, Zhou Yang, but they felt there was a chance to drink soup and eat meat alongside this dark horse.
At this moment, the host on stage spoke again: "Then, could you reveal some details about the new game?"
"Of course, I can."
"The next game is also part of the World War II series. I can tell everyone the full name of this game now," Zhou Yang said with a smile, nodding.
Upon hearing this, the host's face flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
At this moment, the audience in the livestream room and at the venue all looked at Zhou Yang with anticipation.
This world has virtual pods, as well as the black technology of virtual pods that can adjust time.
Therefore, the playing speed of a game is very fast.
Games that players could originally play for several months or even a year or two can actually only be played for a month or two or three in reality.
This has created a prosperous gaming industry, but the demands of players are higher.
The gaming industry is also extremely competitive.
However, capital is profit-driven; after reaching a certain level of competition,
The gaming industry saw the emergence of formulaic and templated games; they looked like new games, but once you got in and played, it was the same old routine.
Even if there were occasionally some that felt fresh, the number was small and couldn't satisfy the players' needs at all.
The arrival of the Anti-War Competition brought a turning point to the gaming industry in this world's China.
Most players hoped for a game that could break the deadlock in the gaming industry.
And Zhou Yang's appearance completely broke this deadlock.
Now that Zhou Yang was about to release a second game, Netizens were all very expectant.
"Is a new game coming?"
"I haven't even finished the last game, and a new one is already starting?"
"This is too fast; my wallet can't keep up."
"Great! Old Thief Zhou, hurry up and tell us the game name!"
The Netizens in the livestream room kept their eyes fixed on the screen.
At this moment, Zhou Yang slowly revealed the name of this second game.
"Like the last one, it's also part of the World War II series, so the game name for this one is 'World War II: Pacific Campaign'."
"The content of this part is in the same universe as the last game; the only difference is the time period."
Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, the host's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou Yang, the name of your game is 'World War II'. Doesn't that mean there is also a 'World War I'?"
"Haha, yes. Before making this game, I built a complete game universe, and both of these World Wars are within this game universe," Zhou Yang said with a faint smile, chatting with the host.
The audience in the livestream room was stunned after hearing Zhou Yang's words.
"Damn, listen to that—is that even human language? Built a complete game universe?"
"If this were written into a novel, wouldn't it sell like crazy!"
"Yeah, can it be written into a novel? I'm really too lazy to play games."
"Making it into a movie is also fine; playing games is really too time-consuming. I feel it's difficult just watching others play."
"I suggest writing this universe into a novel and making it into a movie; I'd even pay for it."
Perhaps seeing the viewers' comments, the host spoke at this moment: "A complete universe? Then, Mr. Zhou Yang, have you thought about writing this universe into a novel or making it into a movie?"
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment upon hearing the host's words, then immediately nodded with a smile.
"I have thought about it, but currently my energy is limited, and most of it is invested in the games. However, novels and movies will also be produced simultaneously later."
"Is that so? That's a pity. I'm looking forward to the publication of your novels and movies; after all, your games are still too difficult for me," the host said with a look of regret.
"I really like your game plots; the stories within them are very vivid."
"I have a small question regarding the game plot. I wonder if it's convenient for Mr. Zhou Yang to answer?" the host suddenly asked.
"What is the question? Perhaps I can answer it."
"That is, Mr. Zhou Yang, can you tell me if China's War of Resistance Against Japan in the game was won?" The host looked straight at him.
At this moment, the audience in the livestream room immediately went wild upon hearing the host's question.
"That's a good question! I also want to know if China won or not?"
"Old Thief Zhou, you better answer this question properly. Otherwise, watch out, or I'll hunt you down offline."
"I think it must have won; even if it couldn't, it had to win."
Seeing this, the smile on Zhou Yang's face faded slightly.
Then he nodded solemnly and earnestly: "It won."
Upon hearing this, the host immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Along with her, there were the millions of viewers in the livestream room.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts upon hearing Zhou Yang's answer.
Now that they had received a definitive answer, the anxiety they had been holding in their hearts was finally put to rest.
Just from the two battles in the game, they had witnessed too many deaths.
If they won, then the deaths of these people were worth it.
If they hadn't won, they really couldn't imagine it.
"The developer has finally done something human for once."
"I knew it would win! Long live China!"
"I'm very satisfied with Old Thief Zhou's answer; I won't send him razor blades anymore."
On the stage, the host looked at Zhou Yang once again.
"Alright, Mr. Zhou Yang, thank you for your speech."
Subsequently, Zhou Yang walked off the stage and returned to his seat.
The host on stage began to deliver the closing remarks for the awards ceremony.
"Zhou Yang, you did a great job."
Seeing Zhou Yang return, a brilliant smile immediately bloomed on Yang Ruoxue's face.
She had seen Zhou Yang's performance on stage just now.
Originally, she was a bit worried about whether Zhou Yang would be nervous or uncomfortable.
Now it seems she was overthinking it.
Zhou Yang did not show any signs of nervousness or discomfort.
