Chapter XXVII: A Man's Covenant

The alarm woke Takahashi up, and he sat up in a daze before he had enough sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he saw the small cake next to the alarm clock, he suddenly remembered that it seemed that his birthday was on these two days.

Don't blame him for being confused, there is no lunar calendar in this calendar.

He couldn't check the calendar, and of course he couldn't figure out exactly what his birthday was.

He frowned and counted from last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, day by day, and found that yesterday's birthday was yesterday.

It's really hard for uncle.

Takahashi can be sure that his uncle, who was reluctant to buy a Chinese calendar, counted his birthday day by day.

Moved, I ate the cake in three or two bites. After washing up, he began to walk towards Akihabara. Before leaving, he remembered the taxi money he paid when he came back yesterday, and his heart twitched again.

Money, make more money.

Takahashi marched towards Akihabara with solid steps.

Today is Friday, and there are a lot of children coming out. Although Takahashi is a miracle that is staged every day, many children are tired of watching it.

However, more children who have never seen it have come from all over the world to witness the undefeated myth of Takahashi.

The recent challengers are no longer those high-end players. Those high-end players are either trying to hone their skills or give up on the game.

For them, the defeat of Takahashi was not humiliating, but it was also meaningless. If you can't defeat Takahashi through practice, you might as well close your eyes when there is no such thing as "Interstellar Force" in the world, and focus on other arcade machines, maybe you will achieve higher achievements.

Due to the fierce competition in the arcade industry, there are now many arcade halls that regard game competitions as an important means of attracting customers.

This kind of primitive e-sports, which is based on arcades and has no tournament leagues, has allowed many gamers to live on it full-time.

The top of them can earn almost ten times as much as Hudson's Takahashi. For them, such a game that can't bring them huge profits, even if they don't play it, there is nothing to lose.

The arcade industry is so thriving, new games are released every week, and as long as you are willing to play, you are sure to make money.

Takahashi once wondered if he wanted to be a freelancer like them. After thinking about it, he gave up. That is free, but it is also risky and has limited prospects.

Even if the highest income is ten times that of Takahashi now, will it still be ten times higher in ten years?

Arcades will eventually decline, and people will eventually grow old.

When there are fewer and fewer arcade players, they are getting older, and the operation can't keep up with their consciousness, what else can they do to make money?

After careful selection, Takahashi chose "Star Force" and chose Hudson. In addition, when you can't get in touch with the actual game, you can do a lot of targeted exercises.

Defeat small players who are standing on the ground and can't reach the arcade machine by a small advantage. Takahashi hugged him from his good seat and gave him a hug, and his face immediately flushed with excitement.

When it comes to video games, the dish is the original sin.

And Takahashi, who has formed a domination in "Interstellar Force", has been insulated from dishes in this game.

After a few days of precipitation, many players will even play abnormally because of the aura he exudes when they compete side by side with him.

This made Takahashi even a little suspicious that he had crossed into not a normal world, but a fantasy world.

Other than that, though, nothing strange happened. Therefore, Takahashi can only be attributed to their psychological quality.

Since tomorrow is the weekend, the children of elementary and junior high schools do not have to go home too early, so Takahashi finishes later.

To be honest, he was still thinking before, didn't they chase cartoons? Isn't the time to eat just the time to play animations, and it would be very regretful to miss the chase.

When he asked this question, many of the children laughed and asked, "Big brother, don't you know the video tape player? But we don't have a camera, and we can't record you playing games, so we all came to see you. ”

Takahashi was moved for a moment, chasing cartoons is no less important to the children than chasing comics.

They were able to come here to see themselves instead of watching cartoons for the first time, and they have already explained what they have done so far and reaped the initial results.

It was getting dark, and the parents of the young children took their children back one after another. And for those older children, they were almost persuaded to go home by Takahashi.

"Let's go home early, it's too late, and I may not be able to come back." Takahashi coaxed them all away, and when the street was empty, he saw Shimada standing across the street.

He thought for a moment and walked towards Shimada.

Taking a closer look, you can find that Shimada has not been doing very well in the past few days, and he has obviously lost weight.

However, when he tears off his tattoos, his expression is normal, and he changes into serious clothes, he looks quite quiet, and he is a little unrecognizable if he doesn't look carefully, he is the Shimada who once ruled "Interstellar Power".

"Do you want to play a game?" asked Takahashi.

Shimada looked over Takahashi, across the sidewalk, and landed on the arcade of "Interstellar Force" for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "No more playing." ”

"How are you doing these days? I started a little harder that day, don't you have a good time. Takahashi asked.

"It's okay, woke me up. Shimada's face was full of relaxed smiles, as if what Takahashi had left him that day was not a physical pain, but some sweet memory.

"It's my fault in the first place. Please accept my apologies. After Shimada finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

"What are you doing here?" Takahashi hurriedly helped Shimada up, he didn't think Shimada needed to apologize to himself. Although he wanted to yin himself, he didn't get yin, and he was beaten by himself.

I don't owe each other anymore, so why apologize.

Shimada, who was forced to be helped up by Takahashi, said calmly, "I won't play Star Force again in the future." I have something new to do, I'm going to make a video game. ”

"Do video games?" Takahashi was a little confused about the situation for a while, how could a bad teenager say that he would wash his white, and he would make a game when he said he would make a game. Could it be that who decreed it?

Shimada saw Takahashi a little confused and explained, "I've figured out these days, no matter how well the game is played, what can it be, once there is something else better than you, it's not immediately forgotten." Players are fleeting, but games are eternal, so I chose to make a game that everyone can remember!"

Takahashi looked at Shimada's serious appearance and felt that he was not lying, and Takahashi encouraged, "Come on! ”

"It's a deal!" Shimada said.

"Good!"

"Smack!" the two men's hands clasped tightly together.

Just when the two of them reached a man's agreement, a child who came back to find Takahashi's autograph dropped the book on the ground in shock.

He was one of the earliest viewers of "Interstellar Force" and had been watching it during the Shimada period.

Although Shimada's outfit has changed a lot, he still recognizes Shimada for those who are familiar with Shimada.

His mind was full of what Takahashi and Shimada looked like just now, and he stood there and his mind was spinning for a long time, and he even forgot to ask Takahashi for an autograph.

The next day, an urban legend about Takahashi and Shimada spreads......
