Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Two sentences.

This caused the players in line to burst into laughter, and after a while, a large crowd gradually began to gather around.

The laughter suddenly stopped.

The scene quieted down.

Ariel could hardly believe her eyes.

Keep in mind that this queue isn't just a few people; it's hundreds or even thousands of players.

Now they're just standing around like this.

It felt like we were really waiting for a performance, but you know, this so-called "performance" was just listening to Lin Li talk or answering questions.

That's incredibly polite!

what?

what's the situation?

Ariel was not giving up, although she admitted that Lin Li did indeed have a natural comedic talent.

This kind of humor isn't the kind that's funny.

Instead, it's a sense of humor that makes people feel close to you.

Just like when people see Musk, they think of him as a typical white business elite.

When I saw the forest standing tall.

You'd also get the feeling that he's a sunny, cheerful guy who loves games.

This kind of temperament is very rare.

Considering Linli's prominent position, it is even more rare.

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and no matter how tricky Ariel's questions were, Lin Li was able to answer them perfectly.

finally.

Ariel had no choice but to unleash her ultimate move.

"Recently, there have been many online comments about Xinghuo Games objectifying women, lacking diversity, and not adhering to LGBT standards. Mr. Lin, what are your thoughts on this?"

Ariel stared intently at Lin Li, trying to catch a clue in his expression.

Actually, it wasn't recently.

Since Spark began to exert its influence in Europe and the United States, there have been continuous criticisms that Spark is "not correct enough." However, prior to this, Spark had been regularly donating to some officially designated U.S. organizations.

Therefore, this kind of rhetoric did not spread widely.

However, as is typical in BBC interviews, these topics naturally need to be discussed.

Lin Li smiled slightly.

His eyes revealed a confidence and composure that he already knew you were going to ask this question.

"This is complete nonsense. Spark Games has always been committed to creating a diverse, meaningful game world that respects every player."

"We focus on character development and story construction, striving to showcase the unique charm and value of characters of different genders, rather than engaging in so-called objectification."

"Take our most promoted Black Myth: Wukong for example. Do you know that in the original work, Sun Wukong was a stone that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, gradually gained spiritual energy, and sprang out from a stone egg, transforming into a stone monkey? What is that?"

"Furthermore, Sun Wukong knew before he was disciplined that animals have spirits and cannot be eaten, so he only ate fruits and vegetables. This is the earliest definition of vegetarianism in our literary works."

"There are still seventy-two transformations to go..."

Following Lin Li's speech.

Has this confused Ariel? Could it be that Black Myth is actually a game that supports LGBT rights?

Ariel was confused.

Some Chinese players at the scene couldn't help but laugh. Supporting LGBT? They probably haven't seen the female fairy's character art released on the Black Myth official website.

That's true, how could those people possibly see those things?

Ariel frowned; she was quite quick-witted.

They quickly pressed for more information.

"So, in your opinion, do you support LGBT and diversity?"

As soon as this sentence came out.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became a bit somber. The LGBT movement was already gaining momentum, so the players present couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Lin Li glanced at her and answered firmly.

"Spark's biggest goal is not about what it outputs; that should be the work of the government, schools, and social elites."

"We only do one thing: make games that players love and bring them the best gaming experience."

Ariel remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering how to continue her attack.

But a huge cheer had already erupted at the scene.

At present, it's not the right time to expect Western gamers to oppose LGBT, because the current elites in society still have high levels of support for the LGBT movement.

The elites who control public opinion cannot tolerate dissenting voices.

But at times like these.

They still have the courage to cheer for Lin Li's opinions; not only do they have it, but they cheer loudly.

Lin Li made this statement.

This also reassured many players, especially fans of Spark.

Seeing that Ariel was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight again.

Lin Li, however, had no intention of giving them a chance. In such matters, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.

And at this time.

When Wang Bingbing and Song Xiaoxia arrived, Lin Li's eyes lit up.

He quickly ended the BBC interview by citing the need to give other media interviews.

"For Mr. Lin to dare to accept an interview with the BBC, his confidence must be off the charts."

The three walked into the crowd.

Wang Bingbing still wore her signature warm and sweet smile, as sunny as sunshine.

He and Lin Li were chatting and laughing.

Song Xiaoxia, who was standing to the side, was stunned. Good heavens, is this still the same Bingbing who was just now?

How did the battery charge up so quickly?

"This is to increase brand awareness, since Spark's influence in the UK isn't very high yet."

The two chatted as they spoke.

We walked further in.

Originally, there was a media access point for the summer game demo event, but getting there required a long detour.

The Summer Games Festival connects several regions together.

Because the Summer Games Festival uses hourly tickets, the crowds are enormous, which shows that the US really doesn't lack venues.

Chapter 343 I Want to Be on TV

Therefore, this is part of Spark's planning.

The entire site, or rather the entire trial process, was divided into three sections: the trial "shed", the waiting area, and the central square.

The central plaza can be understood as the waiting hall for flights.

If you arrive an hour early, you can enter the waiting area, which is the same place where Lin Li was just interviewed by the BBC.

Considering that most players will arrive early.

Therefore, the central plaza area is very spacious, and Xinghuo has planned many stalls in the plaza, which are rented to manufacturers free of charge.

A food street and temporary surrounding shops were also planned.

Judging from the photos alone, this place actually looks more like the venue of an exhibition.

Several large trial play areas are arranged in a ring around this central square.

then.

To reach the media area more quickly, Lin Li chose to "pass through" the central plaza.

When making this decision.

Everyone felt there was no problem.

After all, this isn't in the country, and the game developer isn't a celebrity.

However, when the group actually arrived at the square, they realized that they had underestimated Lin Li's popularity.

We had just arrived at the square.

Before he had taken more than a few steps, someone recognized Lin Li. Then, whenever Lin Li hesitated even for a moment, more and more people gathered around him like magnets.

Unlike CNJOY.

The Summer Games Festival didn't have Shogirls, nor did it have many exciting "programs".

The booths in the central square are mostly for selling products and showcasing manufacturers' products.

Fans who can come here.

They are all relatively hardcore and relatively pure.

Lin Li, dressed in a white Xinghuo Culture uniform and with a sunny and handsome face, has always been quite popular among players.

Although Lin Li never says it.

But his good looks certainly gave him a larger fan base than the average game developer.

Among the numerous Weibo followers.

There's even a group of people who don't play games much.

They are purely fans of Lin Li's good looks.

It seems outrageous.

In fact, there are clues to be found.

You have to understand, this is an era where even a handsome pancake vendor or deliveryman can quickly become an internet sensation.

Moreover, it's a company with a legendary history and a young, handsome president behind it.

Lin Li's identity and experience.

It not only satisfies many people's current aesthetic tastes, but is also an inspirational story about wealth and career.

Lin Li himself was aware of this.

But he never expected to meet so many fans in the United States.

Normally, Lin Li enjoys chatting with players face-to-face as much as possible.

As a producer.

As Lin Li's workload increased, the time he was actually able to have face-to-face contact with players actually decreased.

When the Battlefront Girls first came out.

Around the end of 16, Lin Li even had time to go to the customer service center and make follow-up calls to players.

But now...

Lin Li's ability to contact players.

Most of the time, we can only rely on questionnaires and online interactions on platforms like Weibo, Bilibili, and Twitter.

In addition, Lin Li has been staying in China for a long time.
