Although not very satisfied with the final changes to the game, there was nothing else Fang Cheng could do at this point but accept it.
However, for the employees of Fang Cheng Studio, there was still one big event left uncompleted.
That was this year’s International Gaming Exhibition.
While Fang Cheng didn’t care about these superficial honors, Huang Ping regarded this award with great importance.
He didn’t lack money now, and the games he participated in were very popular, with “My Amusement Park” even revitalizing the amusement park theme, which by all accounts deserved to scoop up one or two awards.
Nominations for the gaming exhibition were submitted by players from all around the world, after which the judges would deliberate and horizontally compare before selecting one game from the many nominees to become Game of the Year.
Last year, their games were mostly concentrated domestically, so they didn’t get any nominations then.

But this year, Fang Cheng Studio’s games were dazzling, enjoying favorable reputations in countries across the globe, so it seemed there shouldn’t be any problems.
Even so, Huang Ping would check the studio’s external email every ten minutes or so, hoping to see the email he was anticipating, but it never arrived.
“Do you think our email address can’t be seen by foreign countries? Should we change to a foreign email?” Huang Ping mumbled to himself.
Immediately, he rejected his own idea: “No, changing the email address on short notice will only make it harder for them to find us. Maybe it’s been blocked by the email system?”
Looking at Huang Ping’s restlessness, Monkey helplessly said, “Mr. Liu, could you please stop pacing back and forth in front of me? I’m getting dizzy.”
“That’s because you’re lacking sleep. Go ahead and take a leave to go home and sleep.”
“Keep your voice down!” Monkey immediately responded, “Don’t let the boss hear you, or he’ll send me home again. I haven’t finished my planning report yet.”
“Alright, alright, but why hasn’t it come yet?”
Seeing Huang Ping’s anxious demeanor, Fang Cheng, who was contemplating the next game, felt a bit speechless.
To him, awards were just external things, mere vanity which he didn’t care about at all.
But seeing Huang Ping so troubled, he still asked, “Huang Ping, why do you want to win an award so badly?”
Hearing Fang Cheng’s question, Huang Ping smiled awkwardly and explained, “My father-in-law doesn’t like gaming. He always thought that playing games leads to neglect of duty, and creating games was abetting evil, so he’s never thought much of me.”
“Oh, so what does that have to do with winning an award?”
“Last time we met, his attitude had softened a bit, but he still said I hadn’t achieved much, and he still looked down on me. I mentioned that our studio’s games are quite famous, but he said that without any decent awards, what fame do we have? So, I…”
At this, Fang Cheng understood.
Everyone has their own troubles, and Huang Ping’s lay on his girlfriend’s side.
Old people’s thoughts are indeed different; after all, not everyone is like him willing to learn new things despite having lived for so long.
Calculating the time, Fang Cheng assured Huang Ping, “It’ll be fine, the results will come out soon.”
Huang Ping’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, “Really?”
“Yes, for real. The process may be a bit convoluted, but the outcome should be good. Just relax.”
Fang Cheng’s words were inexplicably confident, a confidence that comforted Huang Ping, allowing him finally to wait for the results calmly.
And just like Fang Cheng said, the nominations for the gaming exhibition finally arrived.
With trembling hands, Huang Ping opened the email, and reviewed each nomination, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Best Game Award, Best Visual Effects Award, Best Gameplay Award, Best Narrative Award, Best Virtual Game Award…
Nearly every game award category featured a nomination for Fang Cheng Studio, and these names made Huang Ping see his past achievements, like plump grains of wheat, brimming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
Included in the congratulatory emails for their nominations were plane tickets and exhibition information, inviting Fang Cheng Studio to North America to attend the gaming exhibition.
But there was a problem.
They were still under sanctions, unable to travel to the United States, and naturally couldn’t participate in the exhibition.
The awards at the gaming exhibition could not be collected in absentia, and if they couldn’t reach North America within the stipulated time, even if they won the grand prize, it wouldn’t be awarded to them but would go to the runner-up game instead.
Upon learning this information, Huang Ping’s disappointment was apparent.
However, more disappointed than Huang Ping was the organizer of the international gaming exhibition.
When they learned that Fang Cheng Studio couldn’t attend due to sanctions, the person in charge of the organizers lost their temper.
After incessantly inquiring about the reasons for the sanctions, Tommy Ells, who was still the CEO, decisively confronted Landick and slammed the sanctions decision on his desk.
“Landick, look at the mess you’ve created!”
Landick now seemed a decade older than before.
Ever since his fortune had been wiped out, he had lost his drive and was just waiting for Druid Entertainment to be acquired before retiring.
His lapsed attention became more frequent; often during meetings, he would drift off and fantasize about how nice it would have been if he had not shorted Druid Entertainment and still had his millions of US dollars in his account.
But returning to reality, he would face the near-bankrupt truth and couldn’t help wanting to cry.
