A low brick wall separates the inside and outside, separating the small verdant garden from the urban jungle outside.

In the courtyard, there are five-storey imitation Tang pavilions, and the eaves of the golden tiles and red pillars are high pecked, and you can vaguely see the glorious atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty.

Standing on the quiet street and looking up, you can see a wooden plaque hanging high under the eaves of the top floor, with three strong characters of "Hero Building" written on it. The font is not the same as the surrounding store numbers, and it seems to be the handwriting of domestic masters.

Looking at this beautiful antique building, Lu Tai couldn't help but sigh, all kinds of ancient buildings in the country were demolished in pieces, and later a large number of renovations and reconstructions after the rise of tourism, but because of greed for cheapness and made into four dissimilarities, far from the east neighbor here to make a taste.

Speaking of the taste, he suddenly felt a wisp of the aroma of food enter his nostrils, and looked in the direction where the smell came from, but it was a ramen restaurant.

The store is not big, there are only two people, the owner and the guy, but it looks neat and clean, which makes people feel good. Touching his stomach under his T-shirt and looking at the skewed sun, he thought it was better to eat a bowl of noodles before anything else.

Glancing at the price list, Lu Tai took out the silver coin from his pocket and stuffed it into the ticket machine, then took the ramen ticket and handed it to the boss, asked for a pork bone ramen of ordinary hardness, and then sat in his seat with the free ice water, waiting patiently for it.

Ramen is quite convenient in the island country, and it is a real wage consumption, delicious and inexpensive, as for those rules of eating ramen that have been practiced from the beginning of entering the door and picking up the curtain, they are basically made by jokers. At least Lu Tai didn't feel how pious the faces of the diners around him were, and they still ate their own, played their own and talked about their own.

Of course, there are some differences, for example, people will cook noodles accurately to the second, and the importance of soup is much higher.

As soon as the noodles were served in front of him, a shout came from outside the door: "Hero Building!

Lu Tai's Japanese is just average, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up, only to see a backpack boy in a T-shirt and slacks outside the courtyard opposite, pointing at the ancient building and yelling.

Hearing this shout, the surrounding diners only frowned slightly, and immediately forgot about it, and continued to eat, drink, play and chat.

Lu Tai really couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, grabbed the waiter who couldn't leave, pointed outside and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on, you don't seem to be surprised at all?"

The waiter looked outside and said in a strange tone: "That, it's just that the second middle school boy is excited for a while, and it's not worth making a fuss." Soon he will come out with a dejected face, and we have all seen too much. ”

Hearing this, a familiar diner interjected and chimed in: "Since there is a hero building, such a hot-blooded boy has never been broken. Today is still a few, and there are often queues at the door during holidays. ”

Someone else answered: "It's a good thing, they make our place a lot more lively, and the store makes a lot more money!"

Seeing that they were chatting on their own, Lu Tai didn't care, and concentrated on dealing with the noodles in front of him.

When he finished eating his noodles and eggs, and was pouring the jade (noodles) into the soup bowl, he saw the shouting young man just now walk in. The badges on the T-shirt and backpack made him sure he was not mistaken.

The boy lowered his head and bit his lip, obviously not in a beautiful mood.

Seeing this, one of the diners shouted to him very familiarly: "Hey, boy, it doesn't matter if you lose. Comfort yourself with a bowl of delicious fish noodles! If you can't go up to the Heroes Building, it's not bad to eat a bowl of ramen across the street from the Heroes Building!"

"I don't need comfort!" retorted the boy stiffly, but his steps betrayed him. I saw that he had no intention of leaving in a hurry, so he went straight to pay the money to buy the ticket, and then sat next to Lu Tai.

The latter had long been itching, and when he saw someone "throwing himself into the net", he immediately asked in a somewhat stiff Japanese: "Just came out of the Hero Building?"

"Hey!" the boy nodded honestly.

"What's in there, isn't it fun?" Lu Tai continued to ask, he was full of curiosity about the martial arts name "Hero Building", and he had already made up his mind to take a look at it later, and it would be good to ask for some information now. Immerse yourself in life and discover surprises at any time, isn't that the fun of backpacking?

The island boy glanced at him and said directly: "You can't get in." ”

"Why?"

The other party said in Chinese, "There will be heroes in the hero building", and then changed to Japanese: "The hero building is a challenge place prepared for local heroes, and ordinary people can't enter." ”

"And this?" Lu Tai was a little annoyed in his heart, but more curious, this building is becoming more and more attractive.

"But I can take you in and have a look," the young man suddenly threw out a sentence that immediately hooked his whole mind.

"Really?" he asked, "are you going inside again?"

"Of course!" said the boy proudly, "I just missed it for a while, and when I regain my strength after eating ramen, I will continue to challenge." When the time comes, you can just keep your eyes open!"

Lu Tai became even more curious, and threw out a series of questions. The other party would answer a few words at first, and when the fragrant noodles were served, they would throw him aside and just throw him a yingxionglou.jp URL for him to see.

Hearing the domain name of the spelling, Lu Tai already felt something, and when he took out his mobile phone to open the website, a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart, "Hold the grass!"

The operator of the Hero Building is Bee Hyuga Co., Ltd., and it is clear who the boss behind the scenes is.

As the largest city in Asia, Tokyo is cramped and densely populated, and land prices are high. Bee played its usual style of slamming the door, bought this imitation Tang building located in the back street and alley, with a good atmosphere and high artistic conception, and after some renovation and decoration, it turned it into an activity center serving players in the island country.

To be exact, here is a free arcade dedicated to elite players.

Each player who takes the top spot on the local leaderboard on any of the Bee Arcade machines scattered throughout the island nation will receive the title of "Hero of XXX (Game Hall)" and the "Hero Building Invitation". Then they are invited to Beijing to challenge the national record in the Hero Building, and the Bee Club will be responsible for reimbursing the round-trip expenses and their basic expenses in the building.

As for ordinary players, not only does it cost money to spend, but they also need a referral from the "local hero" to enter. The only thing that can be balanced is that the latter's title only has a 10-day shelf life, and unless it can keep breaking records, it will one day become an ordinary person who can't enter the Hero Building.

Even if it's only the first place in the local area, the players who can get it are actually very few, and the bees don't have to worry about them eating themselves. On the contrary, the attractive benefits have become a carrot in front of the donkeys, stimulating them to spend more kryptonite, constantly practicing their skills and enhancing their strength. Those arcade halls that are not very popular use this as a gimmick, trumpeting that there are few locals and low records, and that foreign masters are welcome to come and score points. It is precisely by relying on this kind of money incentive that bees can spread their VR arcade machines all over the island country in a short period of time.

Arcade machines have been in decline in other countries, but in island countries, they have survived and continued to evolve due to the huge use of 100 and 500 yen coins (equivalent to 30 yen soft girl coins). Even the popular browser game "Fleet Collection" has an arcade version, and the admirals lining up for the liver boat are also a sight to be in the island country.

For bees, the price of VR equipment is difficult to reduce in the short term, and it is even more difficult for somatosensory equipment that occupies a large area to enter the homes of ordinary people. In this case, the form of arcade has become an inevitable choice, and the island country, the world's first or only arcade market, has also become an existence that cannot be abandoned.

In addition to bringing popular masterpieces such as "Fearless Peak", "Classical Battlefield", "Crossing the Battlefield", and "Children of the Sky" to the island nation. They also came up with local games such as "Demon Hunting VR", "God of Food vs Eros", and "EVA Apostle Hunter" according to the preferences of the local market.

The first is a Japanese-style lawn mowing game produced by "Glorious Pants Demon", which was transplanted to the PT platform through the cooperation agreement of Bee Game, and the player wields the handle to slash and kill demons; The second is a cooking-themed love development game, which can not only fall in love with the two-dimensional cute girl, but also be able to exercise knife skills and cooking skills; Finally, it is a mecha driving game developed by Bee Games with official authorization, and players can sit in the simulated cockpit and experience the unique pleasure of tearing the apostle by hand.

In addition, island players also have the "big benefit" of the hero building.

It's a pity that such feedback measures can only be carried out in small and populous island countries, otherwise the bees will definitely be dragged down by transportation costs. After knowing the situation, although Lu Tai was envious, jealous and hateful, he was helpless, who made the market big players and the transportation was very convenient.

This island boy named my grandson Hengji is the "local hero" produced by a remote arcade hall, and he plays the "Ghost Hunting VR" project. He came to Tokyo full of interest, intending to realize his beautiful dream of dominating the country, but he couldn't even pass the first hurdle.

Hengji didn't have any kendo practice experience at all, only some experience in fighting with baseball bats, relying on the blood to dare to fight, and the lack of local people and competition, he was lucky enough to get the invitation. But when he was promoted to the national level, his experience and skills were a little insufficient, and he was easily defeated.

Looking at him, Lu Tai couldn't help but think of the first semester of college. The students who can be admitted to their key universities are in the top 100 or even the top 10 in their respective high schools, and they are naturally used to the life of being a "human being" on the list. However, in the universities where the elite are more powerful, most people are destined to become the bottom scumbags, and some people are not adapted to accept it, and they even cry after the results come out.

From this point of view, this young man with a strange surname is very strong, and he is not discouraged by a small setback, which makes Lu Tai can't help but look up.

Of course, the main thing is that the other party plans to take him in to see the world, otherwise he won't have the time to pay attention to this stinky and arrogant middle two.

According to the official website, the VR arcades in the hero building are all specially enhanced versions, and the hardware specifications are one grade higher than the other parties, and the experience is much better. This is also confirmed by my grandson Hengji, who was eliminated in the first level and is also related to the enhancement of sensory experience.

Finally waited until Heng Er finished eating his noodles, embarrassed to wait, and Lu Tai, who had to add noodles and ask for dishes many times, was finally relieved, and left the shop with a saying, "ご馳走様でした (Hospitality Honor)".

Walking through the well-arranged and carefully manicured vestibule, Lu Tai was led into the Heroes Building by my grandson, Hengji.

From the outside, this is an antique building full of antiquity, and there are many classical decorations such as wall hangings and screens, but the painting style has become modern Chinese. What's even more inconsistent is the VR arcade machines with different shapes. Although the operator specially sprayed the shell of the device with brown wood grain paint in order to unify the painting style, this is obviously futile and looks even more bizarre.

With such a strange mood, Lu Tai got a wooden wrist plate embossed with the words "Hero Building", which was a temporary pass that belonged to him. It is equipped with a radio frequency sensor chip, which can read player information and account balance when you are close to the device, and you can take it back as a souvenir when you are used up.

After helping him complete the formalities, Heng Er's guy hurriedly ran to challenge the ghost slashing demon, and Lu Tai walked around with the headset he had just received.

This headset is not the kind of N7E used in the domestic VR experience center, but the NExT model that I have never seen, the specific parameters are not seen for the time being, but I can only feel that its weight seems to be lighter, and the workmanship is also very good.

As a backpacker with a bit of Mugu spirit, Lu Tai is quite interested in the Heian period, but he is a little resistant to those fantasy things that the gods are chattering, and he walks to the shooting area where Hengji is located.

Hanging from the shelves are long and short guns, ranging from primitive arquebuses to bizarre multi-barreled weapons, apparently designed to complement the simulator used in the main game Classical Battlefields.

Walking over to scan the wrist tag and pick out a model arquebus, Lu Tai signaled to the staff waiting next to him, and with the help of the latter, he put on a multi-point seat belt, and then felt that something was hooked behind him, slightly weird.

"Sir, please don't be in a hurry," the male staff member held his waist and guided Lu Tai to familiarize himself with the suspension bar behind him. That thing is the protection module of this ATM, so that the player does not move too much in the virtual world and injure himself.

This kind of equipment has been around for a long time, and now this one is in its third generation, with a more responsive suspension rod and a smaller sense of presence, and the lower platform under your feet has become more powerful, which can not only simulate the friction of different grounds, but also simulate the tactile sensation of different materials. This is most evident in the acclimatization training, where mud, grass, snow, sand, desert, and water each have their own foot feel, which is matched with the powerful graphics of the NExT, and even makes him shiver involuntarily.
