Chapter 43: Just when I want to go to bed, I come to the pillow

TONY is a very special person in the gaming world, very, very special. General rules are meaningless to TONY.

For example, those who won the award nomination must sit in the nomination area, but since TONY went to the Clothing Party, he has never sat there, because of his poor health. Basically, anyone who is a game fan or who knows what the word "game" means will understand TONY's "unruly". In fact, TONY just likes to stay alone and quietly. Visconti has a reason not to go to the nomination area: I have to take care of my good friends.

For Visconti, who doesn't care about anyone who does not care about any of them, he doesn't follow the rules... Then let him go. Basically, the organizer was disheartened.

The Nebula Award is a world of fame and fortune and a gorgeous stage. However, professional players of Visconti and TONY don’t need to make themselves famous here, so there is no need.

So, in previous years, TONY won any award, he just went to a Croto party member to thank this and that on stage. Even if he won one of the most important awards, the golden badge, had never been on stage.

But this year is obviously a little different.

The host George didn't have the luxury of TONY coming on the stage at all. He was about to ask who was going to receive the Golden Feather Trophy, but a sudden burst of exclamation appeared in the front stands.

George looked around and saw a white figure standing there.

"TONY?" Bai Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yeah." TONY responded and walked over with a surprised or unbelievable gaze around him.

GODLIKE stared at TONY and clenched his hands on his legs.

When TONY won the award just now, GODLIKE sighed and then smiled and applauded. Over the past year, TONY's condition has been as hot as liquid metal. No one has always been so good. There must be something happening here. GODLIKE is certainly unwilling to give up the title. He is also working hard and working hard, but TONY has become increasingly unstoppable. In the whole year, GODLIKE has only won TONY once.

GODLIKE could feel the strong and abnormal desire to fight. He even felt timid when fighting, although it was only for a moment.

But a moment of timidity is also timidity.

TONY is becoming unstoppable.

GODLIKE doesn’t know what happened, but this does not mean that he will accept the fact that he is not as good as TONY. In GODLIKE’s opinion, he is the best profession. He has always been aiming for the King of Denver as his goal. If he wants to be the King of Denver, how can he admit defeat?

TONY...You choose to come up at this time, what do you want to say?

Yang Hai and VIVA also watched TONY slowly walk up the central platform.

"This year's TONY is very..." VIVA tried to say something but stopped: "It's not right anyway. I feel that something should have happened."

"What does it mean?" Yang Hai didn't understand.

"TONY's condition this year is very strange." VIVA narrowed his eyes and looked at the thin man: "I don't know what to say, POSEIDON, TONY this year is really terrible. I think that the peak period of King Nuotian is just that."

"Impossible." Yang Hai flatly rejected. "Even if King Nuo is not at his peak, he is definitely not comparable to TONY."

"You didn't fight TONY this year." VIVA shook his head.

"You don't know King Nuo either."

"Do you understand?" VIVA looked at Yang Hai with wide eyes.

"I don't understand either." Yang Hai said without changing his face. He added a sentence in his heart: "But at least it knows more than you."

VIVA looked at Yang Hai with some suspicion, but did not continue to mess with this issue, and continued to talk about TONY's problem: "I don't know if you have watched the REP of TONY this year. TONY's combat power is weaker than before, because of these, even the Golden Badge Award was squeezed down, but other aspects, such as the overall situation, momentum, and control, are unreasonable. If it weren't for the injury that affected his free performance, I would hardly imagine who could stop him except King Nuo at his peak."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Yang Hai didn't quite believe it.

"Um."

"But after all, he was still squeezed out of the ranking of the gold badge." Yang Hai shook his head: "I think players like TONY with obvious shortcomings are not as difficult as they imagined to win."

"You would say that, it's definitely because you didn't fight him head-on." GODLIKE, who was sitting in front, suddenly turned around and said.

"Dare to look down on TONY's monster so frankly, POSEIDON. Although I think you will be alive soon, I still have the courage to look forward to you. Come on." MINGH next to him also heard this and squinted his eyes and whispered to Yang Hai.

Yang Hai remained silent, after all, he had never fought with TONY in actual combat.

TONY is about to start speaking, and everyone is holding their breath and concentrating. TONY speaks voluntarily. This is fresh, everyone wants to know what TONY wants to say.

TONY looked around the Galaxy Garden, his voice echoed through the microphone from the embedded speaker on the wall, echoing throughout the game venue.

"Decades ago, professional players made an oath in Miltese City, and then the "Misins Convention" appeared, becoming a common principle for the entire game industry to abide by." TONY's opening remark shocked everyone. What is TONY's saying?

"Authentic, the Mithril City Convention has damaged the interests of those big chaebols and those who attempt to control the game." TONY's tone gradually became colder: "Many people feel that since King Notian has retired and has been in vain for so long, they feel that the Mithril City Convention has no need to comply with it. However, I would like to remind you, especially professional players, that the premise for the game to go smoothly is to abide by the rules of the game. Those who do not abide by the rules will never end up. Some big chaebols do not understand these things, but you should understand, so please respect yourself."

TONY's lips moved and swallowed the threatening words. Speaking of this, it was already the limit for TONY. If he asked him to threaten again, then TONY would not be TONY. So he faced a silence and countless astonishing eyes, but changed the subject: "I think POSEIDON's words make sense. Everyone should abandon their prejudice against VIVA. How could a person who can play such a game be a bad person?"

The audience was suddenly in an uproar. Yang Hai and VIVA looked at each other in surprise. VIVA said blankly: "I... I have never said a word to TONY, why... "

Yang Hai couldn't understand why, but it was a good thing that TONY was willing to speak for VIVA. After all, Yang Hai's debut was too short and his words were light, so he was not as respected as the Saint TONY. TONY looked at the messy Galaxy Garden and said lightly: "If everyone doesn't believe it, you can jointly apply for the first-level encryption investigation of VIVA by the federal central processor, but I'm sure this investigation will not be applied for by the federal court. Because they dare not. As for why they dare not, many people should understand it when they hear this. If they don't understand, they probably won't understand it in their lifetime."

"..." Yang Hai licked his lips: "Has TONY always been so unpleasant to speak?"

VIVA still looked confused: "I...I didn't pay attention before... TONY rarely speaks. It's strange, how could he... But TONY sees it clearly." VIVA whispered to Yang Hai: "If the Federal Court passes this investigation application, then my innocence will be proved. Who will be responsible for those dirty things?"

Yang Hai shrugged.

VIVA nodded to Yang Hai on the central platform. Yang Hai was stunned for a moment and smiled slightly as a gift. This scene was taken by reporters, and there was also the background of VIVA speaking in the low voice in Yang Hai's ear in the photo. Of course, there was a hype afterwards.

This shot became the biggest highlight of this Nebula Award. Except for TONY's strongest snatch of Best Professional Player from GODLIKE, the other awards did not happen particularly unexpectedly. Yang Hai won another Best Newcomer, but the other three awards were still out of reach. The Golden Badge Award was won by Visconti, and the Best IEC was won by 1Q24. This poor old man has been the second in the world for his whole life and finally won the No. 1 in the world. Moreover, there are two nominations in this award in 1Q24, which is indeed a huge advantage. Although TIGER is working hard to build momentum for Yang Hai, unfortunately everyone chose 1Q24 in the end.

The best partner of the year is even less hopeful... This Golden Feather Award fell into the hands of VISCONGTI and TONY without any suspense.

As for other awards, I won’t talk about those entertainment awards. Among the important awards, the Fastest Progress Award of the Year was awarded to K. Although this guy has a bad temper and a big mouth, he offended many people, everyone can see his progress. Since his debut, K’s strength has soared year by year, and now ranks 4th in the world professional player rankings. K was also very interesting when he spoke on stage. He did not thank anyone else, but just thanked his mother. He also said that when K won the Fastest Progress Award last year.

NOVEL won the award for Best Freeman. In fact, he is also a very powerful professional player. Unfortunately, Croto's reputation is too great. Most of the other professional players are used as foils, and NOVEL cannot escape. However, the AFRON team in which NOVEL is located may be the only team in the world with Freeman as the core. It is absolutely unique and unique, and their game is still very visible.

The Most Valuable Science and Technology Award of the Year was awarded to SUNRISE. They made a major breakthrough in the miniaturization technology of nuclear magnetic generators, greatly increasing the mimicry of helmets. When people perform at night, not all transportation vehicles are luxuriously equipped with health cabins. Without cabins, they can only use helmets. It can be said that this technology is of great significance. In the same year, no more powerful technology appeared, so SUNRISE won this award.

Then there are other awards, such as the Best Photographer of the Year Award (DEMO shooting in online games), etc. This is the entertainment award, so I won’t say much more.

Finally, there is the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is a final award. There is no nomination for the Lifetime Achievement Award and does not participate in the referendum. It is decided directly by the organizing committee.

There are two winners of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award, one is TIGER and the other is White Owl.

Both of them retired this year, and the Nebula Award immediately gave them the Lifetime Achievement Award, which can be said to be a great compliment. Only by making outstanding contributions to the gaming industry can the Lifetime Achievement Award be awarded.

The best partner of the year is even less hopeful... This Golden Feather Award fell into the hands of VISCONGTI and TONY without any suspense.

After the award ceremony, because of what TONY said, the mood of a professional player was not very high, so Yang Hai simply did not attend the cocktail party after the ceremony.

The media have made speculations about what TONY said, but it is obvious that some insider stories are not dared to reveal them, but it doesn't matter. TONY's words are meant to those who understand.

To put it in another sentence from him, “Those who understand already understand already understand, and those who don’t understand will not understand in this life.”

Yang Hai actually understood. It might be that a big chaebol had made some big moves or something that TONY did, so the boss was so angry. But which chaebol was... Yang Hai couldn't guess. There were countless chaebols who wanted to enter the game world, and there were very few who really achieved something. Not every rich man is like the king, the captain and TERRY, and it is normal to really understand what the game is like. But so many chaebols are doing it randomly, who knows which one TONY is talking about? His warning means is very obvious, and he is warning some people not to be accomplices of tigers, but who are those people?

Think about which chaebol has made a big move recently?

It seems that there is no...

For some reason, Yang Hai suddenly remembered the Hansluna family spent a huge amount of money to study the photon paradox. Could it be that what is the relationship between the two?

But Yang Hai also had only a slight understanding of what the photon paradox is - Zhen Yuan must be aware of it, but the photon paradox itself is too complicated, and Zhen Yuan himself knows it, but he cannot explain it clearly. Moreover, Zhen Yuan just felt it was strange, but he did not react too much, which means that this matter itself was not a big deal.

I can't figure it out, and Yang Hai stopped engaging in this issue for a while.

The fourth day of the Game Festival is a simple carnival day, which can also be regarded as a farewell day. However, with the heavy responsibility of relegation in the league, the ETYPE group did not have the heart to play here. Since there was nothing on the fourth day, they went home early - they also had to train for the upcoming game. This time, even the farewell party was saved. DARK Second Group is the type of team that often holds offline gatherings. Unlike many online games, the teams gathered only during the Game Festival almost every year. Since this is the case, there is no need to bid farewell reluctantly.

So they flew back to Berlin.

The blessing of going home early, this time the air traffic was not so congested. The first thing Yang Hai did after returning was to issue a convening order notifying all ETYPE professional players that had to come to the club. By the end of the 19th, they would have to hold training - including those who were banned, and they would also come.

After giving the convening order, Yang Hai started to walk around the club.

The hardware conditions of ETYPE are really unspeakable. Yang Hai has lived that life since he was a child. He feels that ETYPE's investment in infrastructure is too inconsistent with normal understanding. There is even a separate bar in the club, with a row of wines on the bar, and there are separate luxury bathrooms, steam sanitation rooms, and entertainment gyms here... Looking at these things about ETYPE, Yang Hai smiled.

It is worthy of being a club with a strong imprint of Prince William. These noble enjoyments and this comfortable life really complement Prince William's elegant and charming temperament. William is one of the most ideal spokespersons of all luxury brands. A lot of ETYPE's income also comes from the sponsorship of these luxury brands, making the club look extremely luxurious.

Unfortunately, these people learned Prince William's luxury, but did not learn Prince William's integrity, as if they were learning how to become an orchid and then become dogtail grass.

As Yang Hai expected, the training camp was issued, and only BAN among the banned people came to participate in the training camp. Some people who were not banned did not even attend the training camp.

"It's a game festival, it's understandable." Yang Hai said coldly: "Give them another day, if they don't come yet."

"Military advisor, if... if it is too ruthless," William frowned and said, "With those people's temperament, I'm afraid something will happen."

"Hey, something happened?" Yang Hai snorted: "Then it's better not let me catch it."

The next day, the people who came were already in training, but the people who didn't come still didn't come. Yang Hai immediately announced the punishment.

All those who are absent will be deducted from one month's salary and will be suspended for 10 additional games within the game.

Both of these penalties were quite severe. As soon as Yang Hai's decision was made, the whole club was in an uproar. After deducting one month's salary... those people were banned and there was no game bonus to get. Not everyone could support themselves for a year like Yang Hai. And the additional 10 games of the internal ban... The additional meaning is that after the 30 games of WGA, these people would have to remain silent for another 10 games to get the chance to play. But those who were banned were the main players of ETYPE. Why did this new IEC dare to take action like this?

MRJ and the others also want to rely on their own strength to get a fuss so that the new IEC knows that their group of people are not easy to mess with. If you want to sit firmly on the IEC throne, we still need our help.

This is great. Before they could attack, Yang Hai took action first.

And he just made a desperate move.

Sometimes things are like this. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Yang Hai is not weak on this side, but it starts to weak on that side.

That night, Yang Hai returned from training and sorted out documents in the office, thinking about what happened in the online game tonight. It was not online for four days, and it felt really long... The main racial mission is about to begin, and you must not slackewer at this time.

Yang Hai was thinking about it when his temporary assistant came over and told him that someone wanted to see him.

"Who?" Yang Hai asked.

"Several brokers." said the assistant: "MRJ, F1, RICHARD, AK47, and several of their brokers."

Yang Hai narrowed his eyes.

"Hmph, let them in."

“YES,SIR.”

Agent... The most annoying thing the club hates is dealing with agents. Because agents are not afraid of breaking up, negotiations with agents are particularly difficult. But Yang Hai is very interested in meeting these four agents.

He glanced at the locked drawer on his desk, which contained the plan to rectify ETYPE discussed with Lin Bo.

He kept thinking about what to use as a breakthrough point, and these agents came in time.
