Chapter 87



As the connections between the Empire and the Federation became more frequent, the gaming industry unexpectedly captured a significant market share at an extremely fast pace.

Today is undoubtedly the craziest day for the majority of gamers. The reason is not because of anything else, but because many famous game designers have jointly held a collective fan meeting, which will be broadcast live simultaneously on Starnet. For the majority of fans and players, this is undoubtedly a celebration that is rarely seen in many years!

In particular, the Imperial SSS-level game designer Gu Yang will also be invited to attend the meeting. With his excellent level, unquestionable strength, and high appearance, he is undoubtedly the perfect lover and perfect idol in the eyes of many players.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Gu Yang, this extremely outstanding and wealthy game designer, is still single to this day, and it seems that there has been no news that he has ever fallen in love with anyone.

"Gu Yang has never been attracted to anyone? You're wrong, so wrong. You're all new to the gaming world, right? You don't know about the incident where 'Gu Yang publicly confessed his love for designer Tang Mu', right? That incident caused a huge uproar back then, and we, newcomers to the gaming world, were so excited that we almost formed a 'forced matchmaking team' to help match them up. But unfortunately, there was no further news about that incident..."

The person speaking was a veteran in the gaming industry. Although only five or six years had passed, these newcomers back then had become veterans in the industry, and their respective paths forward had also become different.

Some still choose to work in the gaming industry, switching from players to game designers, game assistants and other related industries, but some choose to join other professions and only play games when they have free time.

But no matter what kind of way out they find, it has not been able to stop their passion for games. Whenever there are activities in certain gaming circles, they are always active, not to mention large-scale fan meetings like this one.

It was a pity that the newbies who had only just entered the game in the past two years were very familiar with and admired Gu Yang, but when they heard the name Tang Mu, their faces were filled with confusion, as if they didn't quite understand what the old man in front of them was talking about. They couldn't help but speak in confusion:

"Tang Mu? Who's that? The Tang Mu who designed games like 'Xianxia Qiyuan,' 'Star Survival,' and 'Huaxia Dynasty'? But hasn't she retired from the industry a long time ago and hasn't appeared in a long time? Even the management of 'Xianxia Qiyuan' and 'Huaxia Dynasty' was handed over to the designer 'Zhang Shang' five years ago. Although the designer's description column of those games still has that name, Tang Mu hasn't appeared in a long time, right...?"

That’s right, it’s not that newcomers in the gaming circle don’t know the name of the designer ‘Tangmu’. Quite the contrary, because the designers of those games that are still hailed as classics all have the name ‘Tangmu’, so everyone knows the existence of this person ‘Tangmu’.

But because 'Tang Mu' disappeared for too long, even the last message on her designer account was posted five years ago, which resulted in 'Tang Mu' having little presence in the eyes of newcomers. It was precisely Gu Yang, Luo Qingmei and others who had brought a large number of excellent works to the gaming circle in recent years who became the objects of everyone's pursuit.

Even Zhang Shang, the former assistant, has now become an outstanding "genius" designer on his own. I wonder if he will bring some amazing works to everyone.

This is also the reason why in recent years, when people talk about games such as "Xianxia Qiyuan" and "Huaxia Dynasty", the first person they think of is the manager Zhang Shang, rather than the original designer Tang Mu.

Hearing this, many veterans in the gaming circle couldn't help but sigh in regret. They couldn't help but pull this "ignorant" newcomer to find a place to sit down at the meeting, and soon they started talking nonstop.

He talked about the beginning of the gaming industry, the grand occasion when "Xianxia Qiyuan" was first released, the two major designers Tang Mu and Gu Yang competing in games on the Star Network, and then the grand occasion when Gu Yang confessed his love to Tang Mu in person, and so on.

It can be seen that this old man in the gaming circle has good eloquence. He can talk about just a few things in a very vivid and exciting way, which makes the newcomers a little confused. After a long while of "uproar", they are a little bit unconvinced. They always look at each other with "suspicion", always feeling that the other party is relying on the status of an old man to brag to them, the newcomers.

"These things are really true. I was there back then, and I almost gave my all to support Gu Yang and Tang Mu being together..."

There were quite a few old fans who came to this large-scale fan meeting. At this moment, when they suddenly heard someone discussing interesting things from the past, they couldn't help but come over and join in the conversation.

There were more than one or two old men who interrupted, and everyone couldn't help but gather around to join in the fun. They all talked at once, and when they were excited, they even recognized each other's relatives on the spot. Only then did they realize that they were from the same sect in the past, and maybe they had even fought in a "guild war" together.

In a place like this where more and more people gather without you noticing, it's hard not to attract attention.

The Star Network simultaneous live broadcast of the large-scale meeting uses intelligent AI. It will automatically determine which pictures and scenes on the scene are worthy of camera focus. Therefore, naturally, such a group of people who have gathered together unknowingly have become the focus of the live broadcast of this meeting.

When this scene appeared in front of the live camera, everyone on Starnet was stunned for a moment, thinking that the intelligent AI had made a mistake in the shot. Why didn't they broadcast the designers live, but instead broadcast the players chatting live?

But when they found out what kind of player chat this was, they couldn't help but be impressed and recalled it with nostalgia. Many people couldn't help but dig out those old posts from that year, which caused quite a stir on Starnet.

This was the scene that Gu Yang saw when he, Luo Qingmei, Zhang Shang and other game designers showed up at the meeting.

But when Gu Yang and the others understood what was going on, they all had expressions of emotion on their faces, especially Luo Qingmei and Zhang Shang, who had been with Tang Mu the longest. Their expressions were just nostalgic. Zhang Shang, who had matured a lot in recent years, even uttered a few words, which was rare. He couldn't help but mutter:

"It's been years, and Sister Tang hasn't returned. Back then, she said she was just visiting Blue Star and would be back within a year at most. That's when I agreed to help manage 'Xianxia Qiyuan' and 'Huaxia Dynasty.' Who would have thought it would be so long since she left? Forget a year, it's been almost six years now, right? There's been no news at all."

"I heard that 'Blue Star' is still in the exploration phase, and the star network communication hasn't reached it yet. Coming back would cost a lot of precious resources, so Xiao Tang stayed there temporarily with Chief Huo. But I heard that the news that Tang Sheng helped to bring back said that everything is fine there, but there is no confirmed return date for the time being, which means we don't know when we can come back. In the blink of an eye, more than five years have passed. Now, hearing about Xiao Tang's confession back then, I'm a little dazed..."

Luo Qingmei couldn't help but sigh and say this to Zhang Shang. However, she had barely finished speaking when she suddenly remembered that the other party involved in the 'confession incident' was still at the scene. Her expression froze, and she couldn't help but look awkwardly at the Alpha standing beside her, who looked even more outstanding than before. She touched her nose and said sheepishly:

"I'm sorry, Gu Yang, I didn't mean to do that. I just couldn't help but feel nostalgic for what happened back then..."

"It's okay. I was indeed reckless back then, but until now, I have never regretted my impulsiveness and recklessness."

Seeing Luo Qingmei and Zhang Shang wanting to say something with an apologetic look on their faces, Gu Yang shook his head to stop them, and said that he did not regret it and did not mind his past events being mentioned. His feelings back then were real, and even now, he could not forget the feeling he had for that person, but at the same time, he had to admit that he lost, he lost a long time ago.

He did not lose in the competition with Huo Yan, but lost because of his own dishonesty.

When he went to visit Tang Tang in the treatment center, he lied. It was not that he didn't see someone outside, but when he was looking for someone outside for Tang Tang, he clearly saw the background of Huo Yan leaving in a daze.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that Huo Yan might have misunderstood, and might have misunderstood the relationship between him and Tang Tang. However, he was despicable enough to pretend that he knew nothing. He returned to the hospital bed, shook his head, smiled hypocritically and said, "There is no one outside."

Not to mention that later on, in order to qualify for the competition, he shamelessly accepted Huo Yan's private training, and after his mental strength level broke through, he wanted to replace Huo Yan's position beside her, but the facts proved that what was not his would never be his in the end.

That personal hormone only reacts to Huo Yan, and it is obvious that for the person whose level is higher than theirs, it can only be that person who is interested in Huo Yan, which is why she exudes a fatal attraction to Huo Yan. It was she who took the initiative to choose him, not Gu Yang, even if his level has been raised to the same position, it is still not him.

This is also the thing he can never forget. However, after so many years, he still wants to see her and can't help but want to see her.

Gu Yang couldn't help but think this casually.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the field. People around gathered around and immediately drew the attention of Gu Yang, Luo Qingmei, Zhang Shang and others, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the noisy voice.

Then, Gu Yang was suddenly stunned. Even Luo Qingmei and Zhang Shang couldn't help but be stunned as well. But soon, in the next moment, they showed an ecstatic look on their faces, and couldn't help but shout out a name:

"Tang Tang...Tang Mu! It's you, you're back?!"

The figure in the crowd paused when he heard the familiar voice, then subconsciously raised his head. When he saw his familiar friend not far ahead, he couldn't help but smile, and said with a bright smile: "Yes, I'm back!!"

Of course, Tang Tang did not come back alone. Standing next to her was a face they were very familiar with.

But this person was not the cold, taciturn, and unfriendly man they remembered in the past. Instead, he was just a man whose eyes were only focused on the people around him.

All the way, he was carefully protecting Tang Tang, as if he was afraid that Tang Tang would fall and get hurt. His eyes were attentive and gentle, and he spoke softly, as if he had become a different person. He was no longer the stern and indifferent Admiral Huo Yan, who was cruel to others and even crueler to himself. Or perhaps to be more precise, this man is no longer an admiral, but a marshal, the youngest marshal Huo Yan in the history of the Federation.

No, this man has changed, but he hasn't changed at all. He has simply restrained his past sharpness.

Gu Yang, whose eyes accidentally met Huo Yan's, shook his head and thought so. The reason was not for anything else, but because the moment his eyes met Huo Yan's, he received an extremely severe warning, a dangerous warning from a ferocious beast to outsiders who were peeping!

It seems that he will not have another chance. It seems that Huo Yan will not give him any possibility like before.

It’s such a pity, but the story hasn’t come to an end yet, he still has many possibilities, doesn’t he?

Thinking of this, the smile on Gu Yang's face suddenly became extremely bright. He adjusted his posture and walked towards Tang Tang with a smile on his face. As he walked, he invited her with a bright smile:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Tang Mu. Can you spare me a little more time? I want to invite you to collaborate on a new game design. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. What about you? Tang Mu, are you looking forward to it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.

The people present were no fools. Gu Yang's eyes were brighter than ever, his expression more enthusiastic than ever. How could they not understand what this meant? Especially since they had just heard the touching story of Gu Yang's confession to Tang Mu on Quanxing.com. It would be strange if they didn't understand what Gu Yang meant by this invitation.

Suddenly, the entire meeting venue and Star Network exploded again after a long time.

Of course, Huo Yan, who was also furious at the moment, looked at Gu Yang who was clearly doing it on purpose and couldn't help but grit his teeth for a while and said:

"Don't even think about it. It's no use thinking about it anymore. I already belong to Tang Tang. The only remaining spots are occupied by 'Caesar' and that stinky snake 'Quanquan' who always ruins my plans. It's full. There's no room left!"

Huo Yan: Does it have it easy for him?! Oh, if he stops vying for favor, his position will soon be taken by that wolf, Caesar, and that stinky snake, Quanquan. Why isn't there a "Fight for Favor" game these days so he can brush up on his skills? Look, they've only been back for a few hours, and his Tang Tang is being targeted by those "wolves" out there again!
