I! Game Designer! Ultimate Tormentor

"But I never expected you and your father would do something so shameless."

Seeing Wu Wei's suddenly serious expression, Xiang Tianming's heart skipped a beat!

His heart sank!

Did Wu Wei see through it?

Impossible!

Only he, his father, and the core members of his father's development team knew about this!

Wu Wei absolutely couldn't know!

But if he didn't know, why would he say such a thing?

"What do you mean?!"

Xiang Tianming asked subconsciously, filled with dread.

"You know very well what I mean,"

Wu Wei turned and glanced at Xiang Tianming:

"Impersonation, Xiang Tianming, you really have some nerve. Do you even deserve to be a game designer?"

With that, Wu Wei strode away!

Xiang Tianming was left standing frozen in place, his hands and feet cold!

Wu Wei's sensitivity to games far exceeded Xiang Tianming's understanding.

Previously, in order to independently design and develop the 'Personal Latency Calibration System' for their rhythm game, Wu Wei and his team had playtested a massive number of music games.

Although every game company tried its best to minimize this latency, aiming for an average value.

The way each company tuned it was vastly different.

It was like stir-fried shredded potatoes.

While they were all called shredded potatoes, some places added scallions, some added garlic slices, some added Sichuan peppercorns, and some added nothing at all.

This kind of signature control feel was unique to each company.

Coincidentally, Wu Wei had experienced two rhythm games produced by Ming Ye Game Company.

And Xiang Tianming's rhythm game was exactly the same as Ming Ye's unique latency tuning method!

Both used a method where, as the falling notes reached the line, slower notes extended the operational space, giving players enough reaction time to correct themselves.

If it were any other designer whose game design clashed with Ming Ye's, Wu Wei might have considered it a low-probability event.

But who was Xiang Tianming?

He was the biological son of Xiang Dahai, the chief planning director of Ming Ye Game Company!

Looking at what Xiang Tianming had done, it was difficult for Wu Wei to trust the professional ethics of this father and son pair.

Lost in thought, Wu Wei returned to his booth.

As soon as Wu Wei sat down, Zhang Zhiyuan approached him.

"Old Wu, we're in a really passive position right now."

"Mmm... I know."

Wu Wei sighed and looked at the three young men occupying the demo machines on the stage.

He had used a dirty trick to get rid of the guy with dyed hair, but don't forget, Xiang Tianming had initially brought four people to target him.

One was gone, but three remained.

Now, these three were occupying their demo machines and refusing to leave, effectively cutting off seventy-five percent of their traffic.

It was indeed a very passive situation.

However, Xiang Tianming's encirclement and suppression didn't stop there!

"No, these three guys are the least of our worries."

Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head, took out his tablet, and handed it to Wu Wei, opening the mobile version of Zhiyou:

"Take a look at this."

Wu Wei took the tablet.

This was a special section Zhiyou had created specifically for this expo, titled 'University Student Game Expo Competition Entries Showcase'.

As mentioned before, the final judging criteria for this expo were based on the market performance of each game.

And this market performance, to put it bluntly, was the sum of sales from both online and offline platforms.

Currently, the offline traffic was being cut off by Xiang Tianming's mad dog-like encirclement and suppression, severing seventy-five percent of their traffic.

The online sales on the Zhiyou Platform had become their only path to victory.

But now, there's a problem online too.

.

He clicked on Zhiyou's Game Expo section.

The first thing that appeared was Xiang Tianming's "Music Master."

Scrolling back through the pages, theoretically, all one hundred games should have been listed.

However, as Wu Wei scrolled and counted, he found only 99 games in the section.

Their "Dance of Ice and Fire" was missing!

Was this blatant defiance?!

He truly hadn't expected Xiang Tianming to be able to reach into Zhiyou!

Looking at it this way, his father's Ming Ye Game Company was definitely involved!

With just Xiang Tianming's own influence, he absolutely couldn't have affected Zhiyou!

"But this is a clear violation! We can totally report Zhiyou for rigging the game!"

Lu Bian frowned, saying angrily.

One hundred games were exhibiting, and they deliberately targeted one game, even outright removing a participating game from the list!

This was a serious case of unfair competition, and if caught, it would be condemned by the entire gaming community!

Hearing Lu Bian's words, Old Zhang just gave a wry smile.

"That's what I thought at first too. This is a serious violation."

"But, look at this."

Old Zhang's finger swiped a bit further on the tablet.

The screen lagged for a moment.

Then, another page actually flipped over.

What a slick move!

Wu Wei exclaimed in admiration!

Anyone would have thought they had reached the very last page, but it could still be flipped again!

And their "Dance of Ice and Fire" lay quietly on that very last corner page, like a hidden level in a game, isolated and unnoticed.

Was this intentional targeting?

Of course, it was.

But could you say Zhiyou had violated any rules?

They hadn't broken any rules!

One hundred games, all neatly listed, not a single one missing.

At most, they could just admit to a typesetting error.

Seeing this, Lu Bian fell silent, Old Second was furious, and Old Zhang looked deeply troubled.

Could it be that they were truly going to be crushed by Xiang Tianming this time?

But Wu Wei maintained his calm, like a general in his command tent.

"Old Wu, what's your deal? We're in serious trouble!"

Old Second said anxiously to Wu Wei:
