Clearly, among these three, Zhang Zhiyuan had the most say.

So, the other two who were awkwardly chuckling must have been the designers surnamed Liu and Lu.

This game was completed by four people in total. The one not present now must be Wu Wei.

"He..."

Old Zhang subconsciously glanced towards the backstage:

"He went to the restroom... right?"

As he spoke, he cast a pleading look at the other two.

Meaning, what should they do now?

They had been exposed on the spot. Should they sell out Old Wu today with their eyes closed?

"That's fine, we'll wait for him, no rush."

Hearing Old Zhang's words, Dai Xiaomei actually sat down!

Good heavens, it was truly a case of finding something after searching high and low!

If she didn't beat this Wu Wei soundly today, she definitely wasn't leaving!

Even the rhythm game Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy had made her cry from frustration.

And now, this Dance of Ice and Fire had almost given her high blood pressure!

Did he think he, a devilish designer, could just run away?

Not a chance!

Anyway, they had already wasted a lot of time here, so they didn't mind a little longer!

As she spoke, Dai Xiaomei also asked the viewers in the livestream:

"Brothers, we've found the den of the designer of Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. This Dance of Ice and Fire was also designed by him."

"What do you guys think, should we go meet him!"

The livestream erupted in excitement!

'Meet him! Wait for him!'

'Damn his teacher! No wonder this game felt so familiar! Turns out this bastard designed it all!'

'This guy is truly the ultimate bastard! No! Just thinking about Getting Over It makes my blood pressure spike again!'

'Dai Xiaomei, stab him for me, thanks. I'll cover the medical expenses.'

'Binhai Academy, right? The razor blades are ready!'

'Wu Wei, you old thief, come out and accept your death!'

The livestream was filled with accusations against Wu Wei!

Heaven knows how many days they had been tormented by this game!

If it wasn't fun, fine. No one would have the patience to play a trash game.

But Wu Wei, the old thief, had designed the gameplay exceptionally well!

When you say the levels are difficult, it's not like there's no hope at all.

But if you say they aren't difficult?

The livestream had all seen how sadly Dai Xiaomei cried that day when she slid all the way back to the spawn point while riding a snake.

It was truly a dual torment, both physically and mentally!

Now, Wu Wei had designed another rhythm game like this.

Although it looked difficult, players couldn't resist the urge in their hearts to buy the game.

Therefore, this score had to be settled today!

Anyway, I'm going to be tormented by your games later, so it's better to torment you a bit first!

That way, I'll feel a little more balanced.

Wu Wei watched from backstage, breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was too terrifying!

Putting aside the endless accusations from the livestream viewers.

Just the eyes of the audience members present, like hungry wolves, were enough to send shivers down his spine.

I, I should probably run.

Thinking this, Wu Wei tiptoed out of the backstage area and, hugging the edge of the stage, tried to slip away.

However, just then, he heard a shout from the exhibition hall!

"Old Wu!"

Wu Wei's hair stood on end!

Damn it!

He stiffly turned his head and saw Old Zhang's "misery loves company" expression as he waved him over.

"Busy?"

"Ah... haha... yeah, just about to go to the restroom, what a coincidence."

Swish!

All eyes turned to Wu Wei!

Seeing the three brothers, Old Zhang, Wu Wei felt like beating his chest and stomping his feet!

Damn, brothers can't be relied on!

At the crucial moment, they sold me out!

But it was too late!

Run?

The crowd had already surrounded him!

Unless he could fly, he definitely couldn't escape.

Thus, Wu Wei could only tremble as he walked to the center of the stage under countless murderous gazes.

He picked up the microphone, swallowed, and tried to steady his nerves.

He gave the resentful streamer an awkward smile:

"Boss, Cousin, Sister Liu Liu, Dai Xiaomei, hello,"

Then, he greeted the audience present.

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Wei, the lead designer of Platinum Studio."

"My personal account ID is No matter,"

"That's right, just as you all suspected, both 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy' and 'Dance of Ice and Fire' were designed by me."

"I'm done, please go easy on me, thank you."

(Chapter seven, the sixth chapter! There's another chapter at ten o'clock! Let's go!)

.

Boom—

The audience erupted!

Wu Wei!

No matter!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was currently the hottest individual game designer in the gaming circle!

With his superb skill in controlling player psychology, he had tormented countless players to death with a game less than 1GB in size!

And now, he had designed the new product, 'Dance of Ice and Fire'!

This game not only featured high innovation in its gameplay, adding boss rewards that had never been seen before.

It also cleverly integrated game rewards with players' daily computer applications.

The 'Self-tuning System' was a huge step forward in rhythm game innovation!

It had significantly improved the feel of rhythm games, which had always been a problem for these small-budget, niche games!

And now, this individual designer, who had filled countless players with resentment and admiration, had finally appeared!
