"Ajin?" Xu Piao exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Ajin wiped his tears while sobbing. The two-meter-tall strong man with twin ponytails squatted here and cried sadly.
Xu Piao had no experience in coaxing such a big man to stop crying. After a moment of confusion, she winked at 079. 079 sighed humanely and, like a competent male mother, went to ask A Jin what happened. She pulled him up, brought him to the house, sat him down, and handed A Jin a bottle of nutrition supplement.
Only then did Ajin slowly stop whimpering.
Xu Piao was quite patient with Ajin, whom he had known for the very beginning. After asking several times, he found out that Ajin had seen one of his relatives on a third-class satellite. After he spotted the person, he called out to him several times, but the relative didn't even turn around and ignored him.
Hearing this, Xu Piao's first reaction was "How tragic! Is the whole family here?" Then she thought about it carefully and remembered that if Ajin still had relatives outside, he would not be in the third-class star. He would only be sent here if there was no one to take care of him.
So in this case, could the relative that Ajin was referring to be the one who committed the crime?
Xu Piao didn't know much about Ajin's family background, so he just listened to him whimpering and shouting, "Brother, bad guy!"
Xu Piao listened to him howling for a while, then went to get some cooked chestnuts and sat beside him to eat them. The aroma of the ripe chestnuts spread. Ah Jin's crying became softer, his nose twitched, and he couldn't help but look over.
Xu Piao handed him a few chestnuts.
The third-rate aliens grew up eating inferior nutritional supplements. They have good stomachs and intestines, so even if they have allergies, the medical center is not too far from here.
After eating a few of them obediently, Ajin looked over again with eager eyes, and seemed to accept the chestnuts well.
At this time, he had almost forgotten about his brother. He buried his head and concentrated on imitating Xu Piao, peeling chestnuts a little clumsily. After eating, he washed his hands and left obediently.
In the next few days, A Jin did not come to cry again, but Xu Piao often saw one or two bags of inferior nutritional supplements at the door of the house. After a few times, perhaps because no one in her family ate them, the inferior nutritional supplements turned into a pile of chestnuts.
"It must have been returned by the girl next door." Xu Piao understood and asked 079 to put it away.
However, in addition to these things happening in reality, there is also a more important thing happening on the Internet recently.
That was an award that "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth" applied for, and it required her and Lake to appear together.
Xu Piao originally thought that Lake had just casually applied for a small award, but when she received the news from the Game Production Association, she realized that Lake had applied for an award that only comes out once every four years and has a very high gold content, called the Legend Award.
...Well, the name is quite plain and unpretentious to be honest.
However, because one of the registration requirements for this award is "competitive mode game", no one has mentioned it in the discussion forums of "Shan Hai Lu" and "Taohuayuan", and Xu Piao has never paid attention to it before.
Then, "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth" was quietly shortlisted without Xu Piao even paying attention to it. She didn't know how Lake, a socially anxious person, managed to go through the process. It was embarrassing to think about it.
Apart from "The Hell's Distance", most of the other shortlisted games are games made by super large companies, such as Uchiha, Heshenxin, Aqua II, and Lakra. Some of them have more than one shortlisted game... After all, they are competitive mode games, and every company has a few famous competitive modes.
On a separate note, Meihe’s confrontation + love game was also shortlisted.
…
"Ah? The results will be out tomorrow?" When Xu Piao found out, it was almost the final stage.
"Yes." Lake nodded silently, "We need all the producers to show up. Are you free?"
"I just want to ask a question." Xu Piao raised his hand. "This awards ceremony should be quite formal, right? Can I still appear in my avatar?"
Lake was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. After a moment's reflection, he said, "There's no rule that says no."
Okay, that's fine.
Xu Piao looked at the three or four panda images saved in his image column, considering which panda image he would use to attend the awards ceremony.
Hmm…but these have been used many times, so let’s make a new face.
"Then I too...?" Lake watched Xu Piao changing into different images, and felt a little moved - don't get me wrong, it wasn't the move towards Xu Piao herself, but the move towards her being able to socialize with so many different images.
So much so that he also wants to create such an image when he needs to socialize with others.
"Can I use the images you shared before?" Lake asked politely.
"Ah?" Xu Piao was stunned for a moment. "Of course it can be used, but there are too many people using those. How about getting a new one?"
"Is it okay?" Xiao Shekong became happy.
"Let me think about it..." Xu Piao imagined and constructed several images. "Just decide which type you like best and then refine it according to your preference!"
If Xu Piao were asked to think of an image, the first thing that would come to her mind would definitely be the appearance of various emoticons - because she used to like using emoticons as her avatar the most.
The images she created include the most common big-eyed cat in emoticons, a sweating soybean man, a bald man, a salted fish man... But considering Lake's wonderful epiphany of Cthulhu, Xu Piao also created a cute blue octopus man.
At this time, Lake seemed to have a bit of a fear of making choices. After choosing for a long time, when Xu Piao thought he would choose the octopus, he chose the salted fish man.
"That's it," Lake said sheepishly.
...So, that's it.
At the time when the quadrennial Legend Award winner was being decided, while the other nominated producers were solemnly entering the virtual square, a panda man and a salted fish man appeared in the producer seat of "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth".
Due to Lake's inexplicable hobby, this salted fish man looks like a half-body suit, with the most eye-catching thing about his bare legs is the special cartoon-style leg hair.
These are all deliberately created images.
“…What the hell is this?!!!” The audience who were watching the Legend Awards live broadcast were all stunned.
[I recognize the panda man. It's CH. And the one who appeared with CH in this scene... the one next to him...]
[…Could it be Lake? ]
【Ah? That shouldn't be it?】
[I don't believe it, I don't believe it, Lake definitely hasn't come yet! ]
You know, in the outside world's perception, they don't know that Lake is a little socially anxious. They have always thought that he is a cold, arrogant, and arrogant boss who doesn't care about others. He is also serious and speaks with strength. He disdains all the criticisms of him.
In addition to his good looks, many fans have given him a lot of weird and cool personalities.
However……
When the Pandaren and the Salted Fishman appeared, the organizer of the Legend Award, the Game Production Association, did say something like "Welcome Producer Lake and Producer CH."
...it's over.
At this moment, Lake's fans were as heartbroken as an old mother whose child was led astray.
Even his old rival Mei He was stunned for a moment, not sure if this was him, and asked.
"Lake?"
"What's up?"
“…Hahahahaha!”
…
It was in such a wonderful atmosphere that all the producers of the shortlisted games arrived.
Because this award is given to the team, all producers of each game are present.
For a big company like that, the number of game producers for them is usually over 40 or more, so there are a lot of people coming to the scene, some of them have over a hundred people... and the largest one even has 320 people.
In comparison, the duo of Xu Piao and Lake, and the one-man duo of Mei He next door, look particularly conspicuous.
"One is confrontation plus 'horror', the other is confrontation plus love, both are quite interesting." The judges on the jury panel were happily discussing with each other.
The association's president, Mei Jiangqiu, had a stiff face and turned his gaze away.
"Hey, Old Mei, isn't that Mei He your grandson? He's quite the youngster!" A judge who knew Mei Jiangqiu well called out to him, "He's so young, and already nominated for the Legend Award. Whether he wins or not, it's pretty impressive!"
"I remember that Lao Mei was only 35 years old when she won this award. Hahaha, this grandson is amazing!"
Mei Jiangqiu:......
You just don't give me, the president of the association, any face at all, right?
At this moment, Mei Jiangqiu and his grandson's mood strangely resonated with each other, which was the same mood that Mei He had felt when he thought before, "Am I not standing high enough?"
But no matter what, the winner of this legendary award is definitely about to begin.
All the producers took their seats.
When he sat down, Xu Piao still didn't understand how the winner of this award was determined, so he lowered his voice and asked Lake next to him.
"It's done in five aspects." Lake, with his casual appearance and deliberately pretending to have his leg hair waving in the wind, was so comfortable in such a crowded place for the first time. He explained carefully to Xu Piao, "Three of them are game evaluations. They are scored based on the overall gameplay, plot, and player retention rate. The other two aspects are the on-site test results, future prospects, and the judges' scores."
All right.
Xu Piao thought that it was just like those various film and television awards that could be won by money, and that they were decided internally by the judges.
This actually piqued Xu Piao's interest, and he began to look at other games' comprehensive gameplay reviews and scores.
"Hey." Someone behind called out in a low voice.
Xu Piao didn't realize it was Mei He's voice, and was still calculating the rating of "The Distance Between Hell" based on other ratings. It was Lake who first realized it was Mei He's voice and turned his head. "What's up?"
"I didn't call you." Mei He said unhappily.
oh.
Lake turned around, patted Xu Piao, and pointed behind him.
Xu Piao looked back in confusion.
Sitting in the back was a young man with light blond semi-curly hair, fair skin, and a somewhat frivolous appearance.
"Hello, I'm Mei He." The man said reservedly.
