While Li Xuan and Professor Zhao were discussing issues related to his studies, the first batch of 200 tank battle arcade machines and 100 Hong Kong cube arcade machines from Dongfang Electronics arrived in Los Angeles on a container liner from Hong Kong. The 300 arcade machines were quickly sold to all corners of California under the operation of Tony Cousins' channel network.

Ryan, a high school student in Pasadena, an eastern suburb of Los Angeles, was home alone on weekends when his parents went to a colleague's wedding. Originally, he was going to add it in the microwave and the leftover pizza from last night in the refrigerator for lunch.

But when he opened the refrigerator to get food, he accidentally slipped his hand, and the entire pizza box fell upside down on the ground. So he had to go out and buy a bag of grape bread for lunch at a small shop nearby.

Before Ryan could reach the door of the store, he noticed a large crowd gathered there, and he immediately guessed that the owner of the store, Jack the big nose, must have gotten a new console.

"Hey Johnson, is there a new game? Is it cool?" Ryan asked, patting the shoulder of another brown-haired young white man, who was a student at Pasadena High School like him.

Johnson, who was crowded in the crowd, looked back and found that it was his classmate, and immediately nodded: "This game is so cool! It's a hundred times more fun than the space invaders!"

Ryan was a little unconvinced, he was one of the big fans of Space Invaders, and although he was a little tired of playing this old game countless times, and rarely played the old Space Invaders arcade machine in front of Boss Jack's supermarket, he still didn't believe that there was a game that was a hundred times more fun than it.

Driven by curiosity, Ryan immediately joined the queue, he wanted to try out the game called tank battle for himself, and the original intention of buying bread had long been forgotten by him as a fan of the game.

More than an hour later, Ryan finally stood in front of the arcade of the tank battle, and at this moment his face was full of excitement, and he was completely immersed in the game. His level is not bad, and in the first game of the tank battle, he played the eleventh level. But the map of this level is a bit **, on both sides of the double-headed eagle statue in the base camp below, there are many bricks and sea obstacles in the birthplace of the player's tank, but there is only a thin layer of bricks above the double-headed eagle statue, and the rest is a flat river.

If an enemy tank happens to be driving directly in front of the Double-headed Eagle statue, it only needs to fire two bullets, the first bullet clearly covering the bricks, and the second bullet will be the statue, and the game will be over.

Ryan's good luck ran out in this level, and the enemy tank happened to eat a bomb prop, which can destroy all the opponent's tanks on the screen instantly. The tanks operated by Ryan and another player who were fighting alongside each other were destroyed in an instant, and before their next life could be born, an enemy tank happened to appear directly above the statue of the double-headed eagle, and they didn't have time to defend it, and the statue was already destroyed.

Ryan patted the buttons on the counter with some frustration, and took out a twenty-five cent coin from his pocket and stuffed it into the coin hole. In the second game, Ryan persevered until the seventh level and failed again. He has a somewhat conservative strategy for playing the game, rarely leaving the base camp at the bottom of the screen in order to eat a prop.

So if a refreshed item appears at the top of the screen, it will basically fall into the mouth of the enemy tank. This time the enemy tank happened to eat a timer, which had the effect that the opposing tank could not move for thirty seconds. So he went to watch an enemy tank swagger down, and then shot him down.

The thirty-second timer gave a large number of enemy tanks a chance to swarm down, and Ryan and the other player struggled to save the day. The statue of the double-headed eagle that they needed to defend was eventually attacked by a tank from the left side.

This is the end of the second game. Ryan was a little unsatisfied, but under the urging of others behind him, he was a little reluctant to give up his position. Each person can toss two coins at a time, which is a common practice when there are many people playing the game.

Ryan, who was about to re-queue, suddenly felt hungry, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and before he knew it, it had been almost two hours since he came out of the house. Ryan decides to go to the store to buy bread to fill his stomach first, and by the way, he calls his best friend Alan and asks him to come over as well.

Similar situations continue to occur in cities and towns in California, and the Hong Kong Block and Tank Wars quickly captured a large number of fans. As the number of Hong Kong Block and Tank Battle arcades continues to increase, a new wave is rapidly taking shape, and players are bursting with enthusiasm comparable to that of Space Invaders a few years ago, and other game companies are starting to cry wolf.

At the same time, in Japan, another big market for arcade machines, Epson's tank battles and Hong Kong squares began to be rolled out in game halls all over Japan. At first, the owners of the arcade were a little skeptical about the two new games. With its own sufficient financial support, Epson Company adopted a risky sales strategy of distributing goods first and then checking out, and quickly sent the two game consoles to the game rooms on the streets and alleys of Japan.

Epson didn't disappoint either, and Japanese players, like American players, were quick to fall for the charm of the two games. There are even some girls in many crowded and noisy game rooms, and most of them come to play Hong Kong squares.

And in Hong Kong, the stronghold of Dongfang Electronics, it was the first place where the two arcade machines of Hong Kong Cube and Tank Battle were listed on a large scale. A scene that occurred in Japan two years ago was copied in Hong Kong newspapers. According to the "Tian Tian Daily", many teachers and grandmothers who buy and sell vegetables have reported that there has been a shortage of five-millimeter coins in the Hong Kong market recently, and everyone can only use a large number of one-millimeter and two-millimeter coins instead of changing change.

After investigation, the reporter of "Tian Tian Daily" found that the biggest reason for the shortage of five-millimeter coins is precisely that a large number of arcade machines have appeared in Hong Kong's game halls, bars and cinemas recently, and the most popular of them is undoubtedly the Hong Kong square and tank battles. Tank Battle is known as the Great Demon King of Coin-Swallowing, and a large number of five-milli coins are deposited every day.

From the game console coin box to the game hall boss taking it to the bank to exchange it into whole money, the circulation rate of five-millimeter coins is greatly reduced, and the phenomenon of short supply will appear.

For Dongfang Electronics, the popularity of tank battles and Hong Kong squares has made the company's orders fly like snowflakes, and many agents have placed a second batch of orders before the first shipment is received.

The production tasks of the arcade factory of Dongfang Electronics Company have been scheduled until the end of the year. How to further rapidly expand production capacity has become a happy worry for Li Xuan.
