Chapter 31: Victory and Defeat in a Moment

Sunrise day, Sunday.

It's still this mall, a familiar place, a familiar taste.

The only thing that is different from yesterday is that Takahashi has optimized the entire process.

He proposed, and after researching with a few colleagues, it was decided that the players would play the game as players before they took the stage.

The challenge needs an atmosphere, someone needs to take the lead, everyone is holding back, and the event naturally can't be continued.

Compared to yesterday, the quality of the challengers today is significantly higher, and Takahashi has also seen some of the old faces he saw in Akihabara.

It turned out that after Takahashi played here for a day yesterday, the news spread. In fact, it didn't take any time for colleagues to pretend to be a little bigger, and the game army that came in a group came over to brush the high bridge with great momentum.

If there were MMORPGs now, Takahashi would be like the boss in this type of game dungeon.

Maybe the body size is not so exaggerated and so tall and mighty, but with a wave of his hand, this group of brave men who came to brush the boss disappeared in an instant.

However, they were not struck by the successive defeats. They don't seem to care about failure after failure, and after each defeat, they will stand together and discuss something.

After a few moves, the pressure on Takahashi doubled, and with his normal style of play, he could no longer guarantee that he would win. Therefore, he began to transfer the center to the heads of the people of the last fortress.

Once chosen to blow Cleopatra's head, victory is often decisive.

This is a move called "God's Technique", and Takahashi uses it less and less, for no other reason, just to pursue a better performance.

Always one or two million points ahead of others, who still plays with you.

Emphasized many times, Takahashi's job is to attract more eyeballs, and not to win all the time.

Winning all the time is just a means for Takahashi to attract more eyeballs.

After all, in any competitive event, people can only recognize the first place.

Playing non-stop and challenging Cleopatra, Takahashi's fingers got a little tired.

Sensei said that the current arcade machine has no ergonomic design at all, and even if there is, a long-term high-intensity game like Takahashi will cause unusually great damage to the fingers.

Twenty minutes in a game, and when Takahashi had time to catch his breath, he found that it was already noon.

The opponent's continuous high-level wheel battle, in addition to making Takahashi tired, also has a significant effect, that is, it attracts a lot of viewers who don't know the truth.

Challenges seem to have become more of a real thing, no longer just an empty slogan.

Tired, hungry, thirsty, and sore hands.

Takahashi, who has spent a lot of physical energy, seems to have reached the point of exhaustion.

In this game, when he once again challenged the head of Cleopatra VII, he failed. Fortunately, he dodged with a god and avoided the end of the game, and still passed the level, but he did not blow up Cleopatra's head, which was the first time he played "Star Force".

Although he won by a narrow margin that he could not have predicted, he was not a fool.

He looked at the people gathered in the audience to discuss, and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he really became a boss, and someone really came to brush him.

Everything that those in the audience did was premeditated.

Takahashi didn't have to endure wheel battles, but every day he went downstairs at two or three o'clock in the afternoon to play games, and went upstairs at six or seven o'clock at the latest.

Three or four hours of gameplay will not make him too tired, tired like this.

And today, not counting the exhibition match with his colleagues, he has been playing "Interstellar Force" for five hours with high intensity.

At this moment, once the fatigue appears, it is like a flood beast, overwhelming the mountains and seas, making Takahashi unable to resist at all.

At the same time, he also understood why this group of people came here instead of going to Akihabara to challenge himself.

If you want to talk about influence, it's still big on Akihabara's side.

But on the Akihabara side, I don't play for so long every day. Other players won't allow the people who have always been them to challenge themselves.

Dangerous!

Takahashi looked for the staff who had come with him, but found that they were all gone, and he didn't know where they had gone. I heard that they were going to do market research today, but there was no reason to run out and leave me alone.

If you're alone, you can't rest even if you want to.

"Wait, I'll go to the bathroom. As the next challenger was about to make it to the arcade, Takahashi raised his hand.

Sitting on a chair for a long time and playing games made him feel a little spinning when he stood up. All of a sudden, it seemed like the whole world was a little strange.

Walking a little slowly to the mall's toilet, he kept flushing his face in front of the washbasin.

Relaxed a little, the stiff muscles on the fingers became more sore.

He calmed down for a while, and estimated that it would be difficult to avoid today. Since you can't avoid it, let's do your best to meet the challenge.

The myth of undefeated, is it really important to yourself, do you need to do your best to protect it?

Relaxed Takahashi, wiped the water from his face and returned to the Hudson booth in the center of the mall on the first floor.

He took a closer look at the challenger opposite. It's a young kid and doesn't seem like anything special. However, Takahashi felt a hint of something strange in his eyes.

Unlike other familiar faces, this young child, he had never seen before.

I haven't tried it against myself in Akihabara, and I haven't tried it here.

The boy smiled confidently at Takahashi.

Takahashi smiled back politely.

"Please take care of it. ”

Game on!

After such a long time of practicing, fighting, and learning. Takahashi has been able to easily defeat all the big Bs and small Bs, which ensures that his score will not be lower than others when he clears the normal level.

Today, he went to fight Shimada at the peak of that day, even if he didn't fight Cleopatra, he was not without a chance of winning. The win rate is probably between five and five.

The game progressed quickly, and it was not long before it reached the middle of the game.

The two men in the duel had almost no mistakes. One by one, enemy planes were shot down.

The game progresses much faster than usual, and soon reaches the final level, the "Omega Level", where the last fortress is in front of you.

This young man, whom Takahashi had never seen before, chose to attack the fortress to Takahashi's surprise.

Whether he is determined to die, or he is determined to become famous, Takahashi must follow up.

The audience in the mall seemed to feel the tense atmosphere and quieted down for a while.

Just before the showdown, Takahashi made a surprising decision.

There was a slight pause, and the sound of a torrential rain of keys hitting the keys followed.

Who's going to win and who's going to lose is about to be revealed!
