Chapter 315 Use Teng Hai to defeat Teng Hai!

"waste."

This was Codick’s final assessment of the demise of the loyal dogs he had remotely raised in China.

Although the public opinion this time cannot even be considered a war, it was just a casual move for Codick. He saw some loopholes in the other party, so he spent some money to make things difficult for them. It was just a small matter.

But the fact that he was ultimately executed like this only shows that people like Ruan Cheng are really useless.

You're studying journalism, but you can't even understand this little bit of public opinion warfare. You're really useless.

Shaking his head in disgust, Kodick continued to think about how he should cause trouble for Teng Hai next.

After all, for him now, the only thing that can arouse his interest is to cause trouble for Teng Hai.

However, for now, it is not that easy to cause trouble for Tencent Esports.

This is especially difficult for Codick, who currently has limited resources at his disposal.

The few means he has now is to mobilize the power of several authoritative gaming media that he can still control to a certain extent, and use the perspective of zzzq to attack the games under Tencent.

Not to mention other games, Naraka: Bladepoint is a good target.

After all, this game is the only one among all e-sports games that goes completely against political correctness.

There is no Ni Ge, no LGBTQ+, and both male and female characters have super good figures and looks, and there is even a sign of becoming a new favorite in the 3D area...

There's no need for Kotick to mobilize, as some extreme zzzq people have already lost their defense against this game.

Although the target was obviously easy to take, Cotick was not willing to gamble his remaining wealth on such an issue.

After all, it’s not the first time that Tenghai has been questioned by Western media because of zzzq.

When Teng Hai was still making 3A films honestly, it was often criticized for not having "correct" characters.

There were even two times when the average score of a new work on M Station was only around 80 when it was first released, and all the points were deducted due to various "correct" factors.

But the result?

The less Tenghai Games talks about zzzq, the more support it gets from players. The world has suffered from zzzq for a long time, and players have long been tired of watching a bunch of monsters wandering around in front of them all day long.

On those two occasions, the gaming industry tried its best to lower the scores of Teng Hai's new works, but at the end of the year, they still had to invite Pei Yunteng back to the annual game awards ceremony.

Not only did the sales of Tenghai's games not get affected, but because of its identity as an "anti-zzzq pioneer", it gained further support from players.

This fully proves how useless these "minority groups" who roar so loudly are when they really need real money to express their attitude.

When Tenghai started to make things happen in the field of e-sports, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the content of zzzq actually decreased a lot.

It wasn't until Eternal Calamity that a flaw was finally revealed.

Based on past experience, Cotick didn't dare to rush forward and attack just because he saw a flaw that couldn't be called a flaw.

However, apart from this area, Tenghai is even more invincible in front of Kodick.

"Damn it!" Codick slammed the table angrily, his eyes full of cruelty and unwillingness.

It seemed like he really couldn't do anything to Pei Yunteng.

Originally, the only chips he could use to compete with Pei Yunteng were Glory, the e-sports league it established, and the players.

However, now that all the chips have been lost, he and Pei Yunteng are no longer opponents of the same level.

If it weren't for Pei Yunteng's personal reasons, he hated Codick so much that he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so much so that when he saw the name Codick, he couldn't help but want to get involved himself.

With Codick's current rank, he can probably only play with Feng Xianjun or even Han Yong.

Codick was furious for a while, and he banged the table until his pig's trotters were painful, then he stopped in dismay.

I leaned back in my chair, lost in thought, and pondered my bleak future.

But perhaps, sometimes, in this damn world, evil can really live for a thousand years.

Just when Codick was doubting his life with his eyes blank, the office door was carefully pushed open.

"President..." The man who came was Codick's confidant. After he lost power and the people who depended on him scattered, he was one of the few confidants who were willing to continue to follow him.

"What's the matter?" Kotick asked casually.

What could happen? It's just that Rong Yao, who is now a high-level paraplegic, has some damn new problem. Is that something he should care about now?

He was almost done with it.

But this time, Kodick was wrong.

The confidant's eyes were obviously a little excited. He considered his words carefully before speaking: "The head of a game company found us and hopes to discuss cooperation with us."

"They claim that they have an e-sports project that is big enough to dominate an era!"

Dominate an era? What a big tone! As soon as Kodick heard it, he felt that this person was probably bragging.

However, this game company that made such a bold statement still aroused some interest in Codick.

Ever since he fell into poverty, all those people who used to surround him and flatter him are now avoiding him as much as possible, whether it’s the game company or others.

It has been a long time since anyone has come to him to discuss business.

Anyway, I have nothing to do these days, so I might as well listen to what the other party is up to.

"Then, let's arrange a time to meet them."

……

Not long after, Cotick met the brazen game company representative.

At the first sight of them, his expectations were half gone.

This guy really doesn't look like the kind of producer who can accomplish big things.

Among the top game producers he has seen, whether it is Aonuma, Todd or Miyazaki, they may have different styles, personalities, and temperaments.
But when you meet them, you can basically feel the confidence and aura that only top creators have.

Even when you are living under someone else's roof and being oppressed by others.

Not to mention Pei Yunteng. Apart from being lazy and unruly at times, once this guy gets serious, his domineering aura will naturally emanate from him.

But what about this guy in front of me?
Although he appears to be a normal technician, he has evasive and shifty eyes, and looks extremely insecure.

The first sight of meeting someone doesn't arouse any interest in him.

A guy like this, could make an e-sports game that would change the times? Kodick was disdainful.

As the saying goes, "Experience illness makes one a good doctor." After fighting with Teng Hai for a long time, his own appreciation ability has also improved a lot.

The guy in front of me is most likely a liar and idiot who wants to trick people into investing with just a PPT.

Seeing that Kodick was down and out and had suffered setbacks in the field of e-sports, he wanted to try his luck.

"Mr. Valentine?" Cotrick's eyes became dangerous.

He was lonely, but not everyone could bully him like a fool.

If this guy can't give him a reasonable reason to cheat money, then he will have to try the methods of the Squid Zaibo.

"I'm Valentine! President Codick, I've heard a lot about you!" The man named Valentine nodded and bowed, trying to get closer to him.

However, Kodick obviously didn't have the patience. "Enough of the small talk, Mr. Valentine. The reason I want to meet you is because you claim that your company has an e-sports project that is big enough to dominate the era."

Kodick waved his hand impatiently, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"But we all know that the e-sports field is now dominated by Tenghai."

"Even a behemoth like Glory can only be dismembered by them bit by bit."

"And you, Mr. Valentine," Cotick's venomous eyes swept over Valentine, who shuddered subconsciously.

"The head of a little-known game company has not been able to produce any influential games so far."

"Yet you brazenly claim that you can fight against Teng Hai?"

"You'd better give a reasonable explanation for your remarks, otherwise I may hold you responsible for wasting my time."

After all, he has been in power for a long time. Once Cordick's aura explodes, a small character like Valentine cannot withstand it. The latter is already sweating profusely and trembling all over.

As expected, it was a waste. Kodick was very disappointed.

How could such a loser fight against Teng Hai? Just because he was so shameless?
Just as he was about to wave his hand and ask his men to drag him out, Valentine saw that the situation was not right, gritted his teeth, and uttered the last words.

However, it was these words that stopped Codick's movements.

"What if we use Teng Hai's method to fight against Teng Hai?"

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and Codick's dangerous gaze froze, and then a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.

With this loosening, the mountain-like pressure on Valentine suddenly dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bet right.

Long before he decided to visit and lobby Kodick, he had already gotten to know the notorious jerk in the industry.

I also know how dangerous it is to cooperate with this guy.

But he finally chose to come.

Because as for the project he was working on, in the entire gaming industry, under the power of Tenghai, it was estimated that only this guy in front of him was capable and willing to take a big gamble.

Moreover, the resources currently in the hands of the other party are also what they urgently need.

Therefore, even if it means risking the life of a tiger, we have to do it.

Finally, Kodick showed a slightly interested smile on his face and pointed to a chair in the corner:
"Please move a chair and sit down first, Mr. Valentine, and let's have a good talk about your plan to use Teng Hai to defeat Teng Hai."

Valentine, feeling relieved, crawled over to get the chair, looking disheveled.

But now, Codick, whose interest was aroused, didn't care about his gaffe.

"It's like this, Mr. Codick." After sitting down, Valentine took a few deep breaths, organized his words, and then spoke.

"Some time ago, Tenghai released their game Naraka: Bladepoint, which achieved phenomenal success worldwide."

"There is no doubt that the battle royale mode is a great innovation, just like the 'roguelike' mode that Tenghai pioneered in the single-player field many years ago, it is a groundbreaking event in the gaming industry."

"But..." He changed the subject and became excited, "Combining the battle royale mode with Chinese martial arts may not be a good idea!"

Hearing this, Kodick's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Martial arts and action games have a certain threshold after all, which has hindered the spread of games to a certain extent."

"So, based on Mr. Valentine's idea, what subject matter is most suitable to be combined with the battle royale mode?" Codick's voice was a little excited for the first time in a long time.

And Valentine's next answer without hesitation brought the excitement to a climax: "Guns! Gunfight!"

That’s right, what Valentine called the e-sports event that can dominate an era is battle royale plus gunfight.

After all, looking around the world, the three game themes with the widest audience and the most enduring popularity are still those three.

Guns, cars, balls.

"The most popular shooting game, combined with the most promising battle royale mode among competitive game modes, this is the answer to e-sports!"

"What a genius idea!" Cotick was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

But then he calmed down a little and questioned again: "But I must remind you, Mr. Valentine, there are also various types of long-range weapons in the Eternal Tribulation."

"That's different!" Valentine, who had gradually gained confidence, was beaming with joy:

"The success of CSGO, another game under Tenghai, fully proves that the secret of gunfight games is the excitement of deciding life and death in a split second!"

"Only by walking on the edge of death can players feel the greatest pleasure!"

"The long-range weapons in Naraka: Bladepoint actually have similar problems to those in Glory."

“In order to balance and take into account the absolute mainstream position of melee combat in the game, long-range weapons have been weakened too much.”

"So, our idea is to make a battle royale game based on the orthodox, life-or-death gunfight mode!"

Kodick was thoroughly excited by this time.

He did not doubt the project's prospects.

Because the other party's so-called "creativity", to put it bluntly, is just to take out Tenghai's ideas and arrange them in a series of combinations, and finally come up with an optimal solution.

Although Kodick resented Teng Hai, he never doubted his strength.

Being able to overcome the 30-year technological gap and become Honor, what else is there to doubt?

However, amidst his excitement, he suddenly thought of something, and his tone became somewhat playful:

"I have to say, Mr. Valentine, your idea is truly genius."

"But I'm curious, why did you choose to cooperate with a down-and-out loser like me?"

"After all, once I know your idea, it won't be too difficult for you to do it without me."

After saying this, he stared at Valentine's performance with a scrutinizing look.

He is well aware of how bad his reputation is, especially when it comes to working with others.

The producers of The King of Fighters, however, revealed not long ago that he had sidelined them and driven them away, monopolizing the IP.

Although Valentine was a little flustered for a moment, he quickly regained his rhythm and said calmly:
"Indeed, Mr. Kodick, you do have the ability."

“But we also had advantages that you don’t have right now.”

"Oh? What is that?"

"Timing." When he said this, for some reason, there was a hint of embarrassment on Valentine's face.

"To be honest, our game has actually been completed."
