"Shan Hai Lu" was the dark horse of this innovation program, a sudden and unexpected rise in less than ten days. The organizers had certainly heard of it. However, despite its sudden rise, it still wasn't even in the top ten. After learning about this game, the organizers had their staff check its data, and after confirming it wasn't fake data, they stopped paying attention to it.
I never thought that the next time I would see this game mentioned would be in this situation.
"Does this game really follow the plot of Meihe?" The organizer had never played these two games himself, so he asked the staff member in charge of this area.
"It's hard to say," the staff member replied cautiously. "Logically, it shouldn't be considered plagiarism. If this plot alone were to count, then every fighting game on the market would be considered plagiarized. But this case is quite special... because no one before Mei He had arranged such a plot. He is the first."
Who in their right mind would think about filling up the sea for no reason?
In the interstellar world, if the word "sea" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is not the ocean, because some people may never have seen the ocean in their entire lives. Therefore, the first thing that comes to mind is usually the sea of stars.
There is even no intention to fill it out.
Because of this, a matter that should have been easily resolved became dramatically more difficult.
"What about "Record of Mountains and Seas"? Did the producer give any explanation?" the host asked after thinking for a while.
"Not yet." The staff member shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But I feel that the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" is a very thoughtful game maker. This game presents a worldview that may never have appeared before. Someone who can make such a game should not take such a step..."
The organizers are even more troubled.
"Let's first try to contact the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" and mark the game with a blue sign pending. We'll talk about it after we get in touch." This is what the organizer finally arranged. After the staff went to solve the problem, he looked at the reported remarks again. With a headache, he decided to talk about this matter to his friends to see if his friends had any good ideas.
then……
"Lake, come and take a look at this!" The organizer sent the details of the incident to his friend.
——Yes, the organizer’s friend is the legendary Lake boss who is currently ranked first.
Originally, with Lake's status, he would not participate in the Innovation Plan, a competition that has no threshold and anyone can participate.
It’s simply because after the organizer became the organizer of the Innovation Program, he saw that none of the producers participating in the Innovation Program could make a decent game - you know, although the previous Innovation Programs were not very good, in the end there were still one or two popular games.
If there is no one who can live up to expectations in this session, the organizers can imagine how they will be laughed at.
So he had no choice but to shamelessly go to his school friend Lake to ask for a favor. He finally persuaded Lake to make a game to participate in the innovation program to help him put the situation in order so that the situation would not be too ugly when the innovation program he hosted ended.
Lake: "Another incident caused by Meihe? I'm not interested."
Host: "No, no, no, I want you to see the other game in question!"
The young man, whose hair was too long to cover his eyebrows, finally noticed the name of another completely unfamiliar game and looked down.
The image of the young man named Lake is quite different from the image of a cold, arrogant, and crazy boss who doesn't care about others as imagined by the outside world. If the organizer had not known him during his student days, he might not believe that this young man who hides his eyes under his hair and wears autistic and socially anxious clothes is the legendary boss.
The organizer was waiting for Lake to express his opinion after reading the details, but while waiting, he found that Lake was stunned for a while and then went to Star Internet to search for information and videos related to "Shan Hai Lu".
Of course, the first thing to be affected is still the video of the cabbage that is not yet ready for harvest.
The host watched Lake open the video and watch it attentively. After seeing the various questioning and condemning comments in the video barrage, he frowned, turned off the barrage and continued watching the video.
They were meeting in a virtual room on StarNet. Of course, there was no way the host could watch the video if Lake wanted to. He could only wait until Lake finished watching the video, and out of boredom, he secretly guessed Lake's emotions based on the subtle changes in his expression.
However, because the eyes cannot be seen, the effect of emotional speculation is greatly reduced. The organizer can only observe that Lake's emotions fluctuate significantly when he sees the two CGs.
"Who made this game?" After a long while, the host heard Lake ask.
"He must be a newcomer. Judging from his identity information, he shouldn't be anyone's secondary account, and his style doesn't look like it either," said the organizer.
"Indeed, none of them would have created such a world." Lake suddenly said, not knowing what he had thought of, "I want to meet the creator of 'Record of Mountains and Seas'."
Wait, wait!
Why did you suddenly jump to this channel?
Isn’t your character a socially anxious person?
"Well..." The organizer complained silently in his heart, but said seriously, "Since we've already participated in the innovation plan, as long as 'Shan Hai Lu' makes it into the top ten, we will definitely be able to meet the producers in the end. But before that, do you think this matter counts as..."
"The logic is different," Lake said affirmatively. "This creator created a world that is both romantic and free. Its core and logic are the conflict between this romance and freedom. This is probably incomprehensible to people who are accustomed to obedience. Whether they are first- or second-magnitude stars, obedience is engraved into their genes."
"Lake!" The host quickly stopped him.
Lake stopped talking and looked over quietly.
The organizer said helplessly, "Don't say anything. The Star Network is also under the monitoring of the central system. Even if it's you..."
Lake paused before continuing, "In the story of Jingwei filling the sea, the little girl named Jingwei never thought that the sea could be filled. This impossibility was only from the perspective of an outsider, just like when Sears was researching intelligent technology, he never thought, 'This is an impossible technology.' Even when faced with the irresistible force of nature, he could fight back and resist with anger. How could Meihe create such a game plot?"
"Even if we exclude these spiritual aspects, how did this little girl introduce herself?"
When Lake was watching the video, the host also watched a little bit of it and happened to see this part. "I remember her self-introduction was 'Jingwei, daughter of Emperor Yan', right?"
Lake nodded slightly. "Emperor represents a king. As the daughter of a king, it's not hard to understand why she would want to fill up the sea that threatens the people of the country after her death."
The organizer slapped his thigh and said, "This makes the logic chain perfect!"
After saying those words, Lake stopped talking, lowered his eyes and replayed the video that had all the CGs of "Record of Mountains and Seas" cut into it. His eyes, hidden under his overly long bangs, were incredibly focused, almost without blinking.
"That's what I said, but it's not easy for me to step in. The producer of "Shan Hai Lu" hasn't shown up yet. If this situation is allowed to continue to ferment, the players will report it to the association's headquarters." The organizer was still sighing.
Lake frowned, and after watching the video for the second time, he answered the organizer, "You can ask Mei He if he would be embarrassed to say that "Shan Hai Lu" is a 'tribute' to him."
The host, having found a solution, left satisfied.
As the organizer of the innovation program, he could of course get Mei He's contact information, so he tried to send a message.
Mei He lazily replied after a while. It was a voice message, "This matter can obviously be resolved by Lake with just a few words, why is he passing it all to me?"
"Well... the people who are paying attention to this matter now are mainly your fans, Master Meihe. It's useless for Lake to say anything..." the organizer explained.
"This 'Record of Mountains and Seas'..." Mei He seemed to be reading information related to 'Record of Mountains and Seas' as well. After reading it, he muttered something with considerable interest and changed his tone. "Alright, I'll make a statement. But then, isn't this 'Record of Mountains and Seas' also riding on my popularity? That producer will definitely come and thank me—?"
But if your fans weren't so easy to incite and so radical, this wouldn't have happened!
And with Lake’s reaction before, you might also be thinking of meeting the producer of “Record of Mountains and Seas”?
The organizer still complained in his heart, and vaguely responded that he would mention it to the producer of "Shan Hai Lu".
…
then.
Just when Lunqi was secretly happy seeing that "Shan Hai Lu" was marked with a blue label of [Report pending], Mei He's fans discovered that Mei He had posted a status.
It is not uncommon for Mei He to post updates. Unlike Lake, who is aloof and doesn't like to interact, Mei He often posts updates. He posts one whenever there is something important, and he also posts one when there is nothing to do. He often hangs out in the fan zone and chats happily with fans.
However, the update he posted today was beyond the fans' expectations.
This is a very serious statement, which shows that "Shanhailu" is "Shanhailu" and "Liushaxuanwo" is "Liushaxuanwo". Both games have their own unique logical chains and spiritual cores. Please do not maliciously incite his fans if you have ulterior motives.
He also added a PS sentence - but thanks to this person with ulterior motives for letting him know about the game "Shan Hai Lu". The game is very fun and he has already played it.
Meihe’s fans were stunned.
This... why isn't this following the procedure?!
Even if there were a reversal, wouldn't the normal procedure be for the producers of "Shan Hai Lu" to come out and prove they didn't pay tribute to Mei He? How come they were just happily reporting Di He, and then suddenly their Mei Mei suddenly appeared and issued a statement saying, "It's great, I've been playing it, so don't rush in"?
