They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 29 The Whereabouts of the Keystone

Finally, after Lin Wan fielded her entire main team, she successfully defeated Zhu Lan.

Amidst the laughter and jeers in the live stream, she chose to end the broadcast in disgrace.

"Ahem, we defeated Sinnoh Champion Cynthia very easily today. Tomorrow we'll head to the Johto region to continue our adventure. Can you guess which Pokémon I'll be using as my lead?

"Where's the smoothness? We've been playing for almost three hours, including leveling up."

"The Chengdu area is good, but most people go to Hoenn now. I haven't seen the Chengdu storyline yet."

"I'll guess it's Cyndaquil; I think it's the cutest."

"I think chrysanthemum leaves are cuter."

"Alright, alright, everyone will know the specific choices tomorrow."

Lin Wan turned off the live stream, stretched, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, her going to the Chengdu area and Hao Zheng going to the Fengyuan area were plans that the two of them had discussed long ago.

The content from the Chengdu and Kanto regions overlapped too much, so to keep the live streams fresh, the two decided to go to more unfamiliar regions.

Hao Zheng's previous claim that he wanted to experience the strength of the Serpent Bear was just an excuse.

Just then, the sound of a lock turning came from the doorway. Lin Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man open the door and walk in, carrying several stir-fried dishes.

"Brother, you're back! How was your day?"

Lin Chen nodded, then placed the dishes he was carrying on the coffee table.

"It's great! If there aren't any bugs in the game these next couple of days, we'll be on holiday. How's it going on your end?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan's face fell, and she reached out and punched her brother's shoulder twice.

"You guys set the difficulty of that Bamboo Orchid skill way too high! It took me three hours to beat it today."

Lin Chen opened the food and laid it out, then sat down to eat.

"The intensity of the Bamboo Orchid Tournament is higher than that of other regional champions, but it shouldn't be enough to last three hours, right?"

Lin Wan pouted, sat down next to her brother, and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

"The first time I fought it, I was outclassed by its level, so I leveled up for two hours. When I tried to challenge it again, the Earth Dragon Sword Dance of the Bamboo Orchid knocked me out of the party. I had to fight it again before I finally beat it."

Lin Wan had no intention of revealing her decision to use an Emperor Pokémon team.

However, Lin Chen didn't care. In the second playthrough, there were many NPCs stronger than Zhu Lan. It's just that players are not familiar enough with the game yet, otherwise they could easily crush Zhu Lan.

"By the way, bro, where's the key for your game?"

After eating a couple of bites, Lin Wan suddenly remembered the most discussed topic online recently. Of course, she wanted to know as well, and with this connection, she might be able to get inside information and be the first on the entire internet to obtain the keystone.

"This is confidential information; you can't just say it casually."

Lin Chen shook his head. Of course he knew where the Keystone was. From a certain perspective, they had provided some clues, but the players were now going against the grain of the Keystone.

"Not even my sister?"

Lin Wan said coquettishly that it wasn't just because she wanted to get the most traffic from the number one person on the internet, but also because she wanted to know what Emperor Nabo would become after further evolution.

"Not even my sister."

Lin Chen's repeated refusal is also a secret concerning the game's future operation, and cannot be revealed. Based on the current progress, the Keystone should be unlocked around February.

"Just reveal a little bit, and I absolutely won't tell anyone else."

Lin Wan reached out and grabbed her brother's arm, shaking it back and forth, saying:

"Just a little bit, is that not even possible? I really want to see what Emperor Naboo will look like after he evolves again."

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed. In order to meet the deadline, many things had not yet been completed, such as the Mega Evolution of the second and fourth generations.

These are all features that will appear in future updates.

Lin Chen had long known that his younger sister loved penguins and had always been fond of Bogarman.

During the internal discussions at the time, he also had the opportunity to include Empoleon in the first batch of Mega Evolutions.

However, in order to create a more impactful publicity campaign, he voluntarily gave up this aspect and chose the more imaginative approach.

But he still feels a little embarrassed when his sister asks him about it now.

So he chose to spit out just a little bit of scraps.

"Okay, I'll just tell you a little bit: the Keystone is currently in the hands of the strongest character in the game."

In the other four regions, the champion title has already been won by players in three of them.

The region with the lowest popularity is Johto, where no one has cleared the stage.

According to information on the official website, the champion of the Chengdu region is Wataru, one of the four kings of the Kanto region.

"The strongest character should be Wataru, right?"

Seeing his sister's excited eyes, Lin Chen shook his head.

"Of course not Wataru. The character I'm talking about is universally acknowledged as the strongest. With him around, all other characters have to be ranked second."

"The undisputed strongest? Right now, the undisputed strongest is Cynthia, but even after defeating her, I didn't get the Keystone."

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, then picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth.

"We agreed to only reveal a little bit, so this is the only information I can share. Also, I suddenly remembered something: there's a company event on the 6th of next month, and you'll have to come with me."

Hearing this, Lin Wan stopped worrying about the keystone and remembered Tang She, whom she had met at Catshark Company.

"What are you going to that event for? Is it your company's annual party? Will you see your producer?"

Lin Chen found it a little strange to see his sister's excited expression.

You know, in the past, she would always shake her head and refuse when I took her out to play.

Could it be that she fell in love with Tang She at first sight that day at Catshark Company?

It's not impossible; Tang She does indeed look like...

He has achieved considerable success in the gaming industry. But if he were willing to enter the entertainment industry, his achievements there would far surpass his current success in the gaming world the moment he nods his head.

His face is just so useful.

"I can see him, but why are you so excited? I've already told you, he has a girlfriend."

Lin Wan stared in disbelief at her own brother.

"What did you say? I want to see him, of course, because his games are fun."

That reason is indeed not problematic.

Lin Chen was indeed quite excited when he first met Tang She.

So he accepted his sister's explanation.

"This isn't some annual meeting; it's a public event that will be broadcast live. The specifics haven't been finalized yet, but you should know by next month, and a contract will be sent to you then."

Lin Wan paused in her eating, then looked puzzled.

"Is this a public event by Tangren Media? Didn't you just release Pokémon a couple of days ago? And now you have something new?"

"Just eat your food!"
