Heroes in Utopia deserve protection.

With a flash of golden light, it erupted amidst the surging tide of monsters.

A colossal golden sword, three people tall, descended from the heavens, wielding supreme divine power as it swept and spun!

Beneath a flowing, dazzling seven-colored light effect, the Holy Sword dragged a radiance that struck fear into the hearts of vampires, slicing through the monster horde like cutting grass, instantly carving a chasm!

"What!"

"Damn!"

Liu Liu and Zhuang Zhuang exclaimed in unison!

Immediately after!

The Holy Sword, as if possessing a soul, danced in the air, darting left and right, as if entering a realm of no resistance!

Its attacks were sharp and fierce, its aggression like fire!

And the monsters, which had been baring their fangs and brandishing their claws moments before, turned to ash the instant they touched the Holy Sword!

Liu Liu was stunned!

She tentatively moved the joystick.

As she moved, the Holy Sword seemed to recognize its master, following her, continuously charging forward, and cleaving down the surrounding monsters!

Monsters fell in swathes, gems dropped in swathes, and the sound of experience increasing was like an adrenaline shot, invigorating the spirit and accelerating the heartbeat!

And as Liu Liu's mouth gaped wider in astonishment!

An excited shriek echoed through the livestream!

"Heaven did not give birth to me, Shi Liuliu, and the way of the sword would be like eternal night!"

"Sword! Come!!!"

Buzzzzzz—Clang!!!

As if in perfect sync with Liu Liu's will!

With her command, the Holy Sword became even more active, so much so that with every step Liu Liu took, monsters lay dead in heaps, their blood flowing for miles!

The bullet comments instantly erupted!

'ohhhhhhhh——'

'Holy crap, is this a level one weapon?!'

'This is way too damn powerful!'

'I can't take it anymore, so satisfying, the viewing experience is off the charts.'

'My rating: No less than Douyin carpet bombing.'

'Ahhhhhh it feels so good, like harvesting wheat, one sweep and a whole patch is gone.'

'I get it, this thing is actually an upgraded version of the cross, a super weapon.'

'The main thing is, how was this synthesized? Does it automatically upgrade at max level?'

'Probably not, Zhuang Wangye also had max-level weapons before, and opening chests didn't yield super weapons.'

'Then how did it appear? Do you have to open gold chests?'

'Holy crap, the odds are too low, I watched them for four hours, and this is the first gold chest.'

'Holy crap, I can't take it anymore, this thing looks too damn satisfying, I'm going to try it next.'

'Me too...'

'+1'

'...'

Violent and cool!

The massive Holy Sword super weapon, like a fuse, instantly ignited the players' enthusiasm.

After all, humans are creatures of sensation.

When the thrill of reaping and the dazzling weapon effects combine, the effect is no less than an electronic nitro boost, causing adrenaline to surge and leaving one exhilarated.

Liu Liu was excited, the bullet comments were boiling, and Zhuang Zhuang was dumbfounded—

"No way? Huh?"

Zhuang Zhuang watched his sister shouting and charging wildly in the livestream, and let out a voice filled with unwillingness and disbelief:

"How did this thing get synthesized?"

As a veteran gamer, Zhuang Zhuang had seen countless advanced equipment synthesis methods.

But he had never encountered such a bizarre upgrade process before.

There were no prompts, no warnings, and no explanations.

He couldn't even find a single pattern.

This game is quite interesting...

Watching his sister's game screen, Zhuang Zhuang smacked his lips.

"No way, I have to figure out how this game is synthesized. These super weapons are too powerful..."

This night was a carnival for players.

At the same time, it was also a sleepless night for the gaming industry.

Nearly six hundred games, involving over four hundred game companies and designers.

Under an unprecedentedly powerful promotional push, everyone wanted to be the final winner and claim the title of "Supernova Designer."

After all, a month of banner promotions was a rare opportunity for publicity, whether for an individual or a game company.

This was not just an honor, a title.

More importantly—

It was money.

"Hello, Old Senior? Haha, it's me, Chen Hang."

The next day.

In the Vice President's office at Xingmang Games.

The moment Chen Hang arrived at the office, he immediately called Sun Guoping, who was the Director of Marketing at Yiyou Platform.

Sun Guoping was almost fifty this year.

As a veteran who joined Yiyou from its inception, Sun Guoping had never left the marketing department all these years.

And five years ago, he was promoted to head of the marketing department, overseeing the decision-making for the entire platform's marketing mechanisms.

He could be considered one of the few high-ranking executives with real power at Yiyou.

It was precisely because of this status that many domestic game manufacturers were deferential and obsequious to him.

After all, their games ultimately had to be on the Yiyou Platform. If you didn't keep Sun Guoping happy, you wouldn't get any promotional slots.

As for Chen Hang.

As the Vice President of Xingmang Games, he had always maintained a good relationship with Sun Guoping.

After learning that he and Sun Guoping had graduated from the same school, Chen Hang had always addressed Sun Guoping as "Old Senior."

Of course.

Such a relationship wouldn't be possible without "offerings" every few days.

In the business world, it's all about "profit" first.

"Old Senior" was just a term to get close.

To truly get close, you had to pave the way with money.

"Oh? President Chen? Haha, why do you have time to call me today? Is there something you need?"

On the other end of the phone, Sun Guoping chuckled and exchanged pleasantries with Chen Hang.

"Hey, Old Senior, what are you talking about,"

Chen Hang quickly waved his hands and laughed:

"Whether I have something or not, can't I just call my Old Senior to say hello?"

After that, both of them burst into laughter.

Chinese people never speak directly, especially in business.

But in reality, they both understood.

This phone call today was far from a simple "greeting."

As expected!

After some pleasantries, Chen Hang appropriately got to the point:

"Oh, right, Old Senior, I see our recent Development Festival is getting a lot of attention."

"Yes,"

Sun Guoping chuckled:

"It's just that our President Yan just took office. A new official's three fires, so naturally, he wants to make some changes."

Sun Guoping said it nicely.

But in reality, he wasn't fond of this newly appointed CEO, and even a bit resistant.

Because ever since Yan Sheng took office, a series of reforms had been implemented.

First, there was the transparent backend system data, and he had repeatedly mentioned severe penalties for abusing power in executive meetings.

He seemed determined to "create a clean platform and drive innovation in the domestic game industry."

Sun Guoping was dismissive of this.

"You're just a game platform, who you recommend to doesn't matter. Those games are all the same anyway."

"Even the industry leader, Xunteng, is 'indigenously borrowing,' and the global game landscape is already fixed like this."

"Why are you worrying about it?"

In Sun Guoping's opinion, Yan Sheng was just using the banner of "encouraging game innovation" to build his image as a reformer and thus gain a firm foothold in the company.

However!

Sun Guoping could only think these things to himself.

On the surface, he still had to be respectful to this new president.

He gave a noncommittal chuckle and then asked, "By the way, President Chen, how is the reception for the game Xingmang is participating with in the event this time?"
