Soon Xu Piao knew how the on-site test was conducted.

Although this part is relatively subjective, in order to avoid some shady and selfish factors, the "people" who take the test are not real people, but virtual characters that simulate real human reactions, just like NPCs in games. They can test themselves by inputting a program. Each one has the same data, so there is no difference in scores caused by differences.

The judges will then score the game based on the test performance.

When Xu Piao heard that this was the testing method, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that the judges would try it out themselves during the test.

After all, the judges of these production associations... well... they all look quite old, and some have even exceeded the safe age limit of "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth". Xu Piao is afraid that people will be frightened and something will happen when playing. Since it is virtual people who are testing, there will be no problem.

As this test session began, the originally largest screen in the middle was separated into many medium screens. As for the game "Hell Distance", because it has two copy modes with very different styles, the one selected for testing is a general mixed copy, which has both Chinese horror and Lake's style.

As the test progressed, the attention that was originally evenly distributed among various games slowly began to gather on "The Distance Between".

Some judges were originally watching other games, but the exclamations coming from "Hell's Distance" attracted them to look at the light screen from time to time... and then they were unconsciously attracted by the thrill of the virtual person holding a flashlight and carefully walking into the darkness.

Regardless of whether this game is fun or not, there is something inherently appealing about "watching others play horror games." Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many barrage players who don't dare to play "The Hell Distance" but love to watch others play it.

So it happened on the scene that before the virtual person could do anything, the people watching were already frightened and screaming in surprise by the ghost that suddenly appeared and turned around to kill them, or opened the door to kill them.

After all, there were not only judges watching these tests on site, but also some other game producers. Some of them accepted the fact that they were just there to accompany the others, and they had the mentality of "riding on the popularity" as Xu Piao had mentioned before, so naturally they were in the mood to look at other things.

[Hahaha, exactly the same reaction as when I watched "The Hell's Distance"]

[What a pity, the virtual human test doesn't have any tricks, otherwise there would be a lot of fun, tsk]

[I always feel that this mixed script seems to lack some sense of immersion. It's not even as scary as places like Xujia Town Taiping Hospital Ghost Story School.]

[Has Huaishu Village been removed from the list?]

[Huaishu Village? Isn't Huaishu Village a place where big men and little ladies fall in love? ]

[Talk, talk! I'm going to have a relationship with Goblin Sister sooner or later!]

[Wow——something suddenly rushed over and scared me.]

【……】

It was in such an atmosphere that Mei Jiangqiu showed a faint smile on his face. He entered his score into the scoring program, then leaned back comfortably and continued to watch the test.

"Lao Mei, have you finished grading?" asked the other judges sitting in the same row after noticing his movements.

"The fight is over." Mei Jiangqiu spread his hands.

"How did you score, your grandson?" the man teased. Mei Jiangqiu gave a normal score and said, "That's it. His game can only amuse little girls. There's still a lot of work to learn."

"What about 'The Distance Between Hell'? What score did you give it?"

Mei Jiangqiu paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Full marks."

The other judges were all surprised. "Isn't this inappropriate? CH, the producer, has only been in the industry for less than a year. Even for Lake, it's too early. Winning the Legend Award so early, his starting point is too high. What awards can he get in the future?"

"Also, the style of Hell's Distance isn't very popular, so its future prospects are still a bit lacking. On the other hand, that new game from Universe Ocean this year is pretty good..."

"Would you like to reconsider it?"

"Is our Legend Award given to the producer or the game?" Mei Jiangqiu was impatient to hear this argument, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said calmly, "There's no need to say anything else. Just ask yourselves, even at this age, can you make a game like this?"

"Some people shouldn't be judged by the same standards as balance." Mei Jiangqiu gestured for them to look at the comments, "Open your eyes and take a look."

The other judges subconsciously glanced at the barrage.

However, it was discovered that when all games were being tested, comments discussing "The Hell Distance" accounted for 90% of the total. Even players who had never played the game were drawn into it by the test.

Even without this award, CH is still CH, and Lake is still Lake. However, if they really lower the scores to balance the scores as originally planned, the audience is not blind and cannot distinguish between good and bad. In the end, the credibility of their production association will be affected.

"...Well, at least don't make the score gap too big, making the other games too embarrassing..." After a while, a judge said weakly.

However, the other judges stopped talking at this time. They thought for a while and entered their scores into the scoring program.

On Xu Piao's side, because she was familiar with "The Distance Between the Dead and the Dead", she did not join the crowd to watch the test, but strolled to other game screens to watch the test. When she strolled near a producer team belonging to the Universe Sea Company, the head of the team suddenly walked towards her, maintaining a certain polite social distance from her, and congratulated her with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations on what?" Xu Piao asked in confusion.

"The Legend Award." The head of the Universe Sea production team congratulated sincerely.

"The results haven't come out yet." Xu Piao cautiously kept a distance from the other person.

The person in charge of the Universe Ocean smiled and said calmly, "'The Distance Between Hell' deserves its reputation."

…

Once testing of all shortlisted games is completed.

In the last session, the judges announced the scores of all the games and the final total score.

Many people held their breath nervously waiting for the results to be revealed. When the score rankings were displayed on the screen, everyone - even those who had expected it - was stunned.

——"The Distance Between Heaven and Earth" ranked first with an assigned score of 98 points.

An unprecedented high score.

Mei He, who had been so confident before, was stunned. He almost grabbed his grandfather by the collar and asked, "Where are your scores? Didn't you always do it before? Why aren't you doing it this time?"

He even analyzed with CH a lot of consequences of being suppressed in the score with a confident look on his face.

On the other hand, Xu Piao and Lake didn't react much to the score and went to receive the award calmly.

A panda man and a salted fish man stood there to receive the award. The light control system in the virtual square automatically focused, making every hair on Lake's salted fish man's legs clearly visible.

[Waaaaaaaah! 98!!!]

【Congratulations! ! 】

[I never expected this, awesome!]

Our ch finally has a proper award. Old Shanhai and Peach Blossom Spring players are in tears. Go further, dog chQAQ.

【What the hell is dogch! 】

Some travelers in the Peach Blossom Spring affectionately call each other "dog son" when they meet. Although I don't know what the word "dog" in front of it means, it should be a way of expressing affection.

[This...if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't seem like a nice thing to say. It's probably an insult?]

【……】

Xu Piao and Lake stood on the podium. After receiving the award, they listened to the person presenting the award saying a lot of congratulations and encouragement. They responded a few times at the beginning, but after listening for more than a minute, they stopped listening. Their minds were a little distracted, thinking about what to get for food when they returned to Peach Blossom Land after the meeting.

The tentacles that appeared in the test just now made her want to eat octopus, so she asked 079 to make a dry pot octopus and steam some garlic vermicelli scallops.

Xu Piao was thinking about these things when the person presenting the award suddenly spoke louder, bringing her back to her senses.

"So, fans of 'The Distance Between Us', do you have anything to say to the two producers? It will be easier for the producers to see what you want to say here!"

…

When she was called to speak a moment ago, she seemed to say something like, "Thank you to the fans for their support along the way." Is this the reason?

Or is audience interaction a fixed feature of such competitions and award ceremonies?

However, the audience and fans didn't care about Xu Piao's doubts, and were very active when they heard there would be interaction.

【Anything is fine?】

[Can you brighten the lighting in "The Hell's Distance" a bit? I often get scared because the lighting is too dim...]

I've encountered too many ghosts at the beginning. Can you adjust the probability? It can't be that I'm just too unlucky. After all, I've drawn the SSR that was up during the period.

"I'm different. Honestly, I just want to see the producers play the game they made. Wouldn't CH and Lake be scared when they play the game themselves?"

【Wow, this is good! 】

"Then I want to watch this too! Let's get it arranged!"

[This is a good idea, let the producer play with it! ]

The salted fish man froze for a moment.

Xu Piao thought for a moment and said, "Then..."

However, before she could even finish her words, the commentators, as if they had already guessed what she was about to say, quickly said, "We can't use the existing maps. They must be very familiar with them and know some loopholes that we don't know about. They'll probably find clues right away!"

[Yes, we need to mess it up. It’s best to mix and match it, and add some weird things we players make in the free creation mode, hahahaha]

[Yeah, yeah! We are all talented!]

Mei Jiangqiu, the association's president, was eager to see the excitement and urged, "Since so many people have been asking for this, and our awards ceremony still has some time left before it's scheduled to end, why don't the two producers respond to the fans' calls?"

Xu Piao didn't panic. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since that's the case, let's extract elements from each dungeon and piece them together into a new large dungeon. We don't have to limit the ghost to just one, we can put in multiple... Perhaps everyone would like to learn about a new way to play?"

[What's the gameplay?] Players are alert.

"Battle Royale." Xu Piao's panda said with a smile.

The author has something to say:

It is definitely impossible for only two people to play the battle royale. The new gameplay was originally planned to be improved and implemented at a certain time. Xu Piao took advantage of the situation to warm up and not waste any opportunity for free publicity.

By the way, drag a few more people into the water: D
