Chapter 35 Gigantamax
Chapter 35 Gigantamax
"AR technology? It looks pretty good. I'd like to try it out if I were to hold an event."
"Wait, Mega Evolution against a Baby Pokémon? Wan'er went a bit too far, didn't she?"
"I'm impressed. None of the Sinnoh starter Pokémon are any good. Charizard already has two Mega Evolutions. It's practically Tangren Games' favorite son."
"It's a bit clownish to boast about your gaming knowledge while simultaneously playing Pokémon Baby."
"Look at Tang She, he seems like a kept man kept by a rich young lady."
"Let's not be so harsh on that. Compared to the other three, Tang She's game is indeed one of the better ones."
Tang She breathed a sigh of relief.
The main purpose of this year's annual meeting was for the young lady to promote the upcoming PVP mode for Pokémon.
This live stream was decided before the game was released, but the initial choice was for Lin Wan and Hao Zheng to play a 1v1 match.
I don't know why it turned into a battle between myself and my senior against the Lin siblings.
It's probably because the senior student recently discovered something, right?
Even if she did find out, shouldn't she question herself for dragging her to the event?
Tang She was completely baffled.
But that's not important; what's important right now is this event.
The background music became more upbeat, like a football match, with cheers and whistles from the audience everywhere.
Tang She raised his hand to retrieve the Pikachu he had released earlier, then lightly bounced the Poké Ball in his hand twice.
With the help of AR, the Poké Ball in his hand grew larger and larger until it was about a meter long. Tang She then turned around and threw it out.
Because it was a performance without props, Tang She's movements looked very abstract, while the senior was different. At this moment, she held the enlarged Poké Ball in her hands and threw it out with all her might.
"Let's Go, Pikachu!"
"Go, Ibu."
With the help of a drone behind them, two Pokémon that had grown countless times larger appeared behind the two.
Even after Dynamaxing, Eevee is still very cute, but it has lost its previous sunny and innocent feeling. Instead, it looks like a little devil with a cunning smile.
The Dynamaxed Pikachu, on the other hand, didn't manage its physique at all, becoming completely unable to hang itself, with some of the fat on its belly sagging.
Binhai City is a tourist city, and today, the Lunar New Year's Eve in northern China, many tourists are visiting the TV tower.
The two Pokémon projected by the drone swarm in the sky instantly attracted the attention of countless tourists.
"Holy crap, what's that?"
"It looks a bit like Pokémon, doesn't it?"
"Wow, that puppy is so cute! I want to have it."
"Mommy, I want..."
The chat room was also flooded with comments.
"So, the crazy couple resorts to cheating when they can't win, huh?"
"They can do whatever they want with their own games."
"Am I the only one wondering when it will be implemented?"
Hao Zheng was actually relieved. This was just Dynamaxing. If he were to actually use a Z-Move in public, that would be a real disaster.
Although Lin Wan had known this would happen tonight, she was still shocked by the giant Pikachu made of drones.
However, her professionalism quickly brought her back to her senses, and with a wave of her hand, she commanded the Super Charizard Y in front of her.
"Mega Charizard Y, use Flamethrower on Eevee!"
Meanwhile, Lin Chen on her other side gave instructions.
"Mega Charizard X, use Flare Blitz on Pikachu!"
The X-jet followed the flames emitted by the Y-jet and flew towards Pikachu.
The command for Tang She and Ren Wei was quite simple.
"Pikachu, use Gigantamax Thunderbolt!"
"Ibrahimovic, use a Super Giant Hug!"
The two poor Charizards had never seen anything like this before. In the blink of an eye, they were beaten senseless, seeing stars, and unable to fight.
As the battle ended, the AR and drones on the field stopped projecting images.
The image on the big screen switched to the scene, focusing on Ren Wei and Tang She.
Ren Wei naturally walked to Tang She's side and nudged his waist with her elbow.
"How did it feel to hear your colleagues praising you?"
Perhaps because he felt guilty, Tang She felt that his senior's question was sarcastic, but at this moment he was still on the live broadcast, so he didn't think much of it.
"To be honest, I feel like that's a bit of an exaggeration. I'm just an ordinary producer."
Ren Wei shook her head slightly upon hearing this, a smile appearing on her face.
She wanted to say that if Tang She was just an ordinary producer, then what were the three of them? Was he just a piece of trash?
But upon closer reflection, the three of them were indeed useless, so they decided not to humiliate themselves further.
"With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, what new games are you planning to release next year?"
Logically, Tang She should be spouting nonsense now, maximizing the company's animosity, but he can't do that at this moment.
Firstly, although the exact sales figures for Pokémon are still unclear, they have definitely met the target. Secondly, the next game is a bonus game, and he can easily make a fortune from games with mediocre ratings. He really doesn't dare to imagine how well a bonus game can achieve.
Secondly, the senior student has already become suspicious of him, and if he does anything too outrageous, he will definitely be exposed.
So he should just honestly say what he thinks.
"Yes, we have a good idea, but it's still just an idea at the moment."
"Oh, could you elaborate?"
Hearing this, Ren Wei wasn't about to let him off the hook and continued to press him for answers.
"We're still in the process of creating a new folder, so there's not much to say in detail. If I had to say something, it would definitely surpass Pokémon."
Hearing this, Ren Wei chuckled and addressed the viewers in the live stream.
"I don't even know what to say. To be honest, I think making a game like Pokémon is already our limit. What about you? What are your thoughts on Pokémon and other games?"
Tang She fell silent. He thought about the contents of the project proposal. These games were full of flaws and loopholes, and he still couldn't understand why they sold so well.
After a moment of silence, Tang She shook his head and addressed the audience.
"Then all I can say is thank you, players."
The live stream ended just like that. Tang She was still quite reserved in front of the camera. Although he made a declaration that the new game would be better, he was still quite humble overall, so there was not much evaluation of him on the Internet.
After Ren Wei took Tang She home, Tang She found an extra note in his pocket.
It says:
"I know everything."
Tang She, who had been under a lot of tension lately, suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It's time to say goodbye to Tangren Games.
