Takahashi got up earlier than usual today because it was a Saturday, and he had to go to the office first, and then with the convoy, he rushed to the mall on the other side of Tokyo.

In order not to interfere with the normal operation of the mall, they must arrange all the necessary things for the event before the mall officially opens.

The sun had not yet risen, and the end of the horizon was white.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and the family's 24-hour convenience store was empty, so after buying two hot buns here, Takahashi continued to rush to the company.

Rushed to the backyard of the company, where a van was parked. A few staff members were chatting there, and Takahashi helped load a few arcade machines into the car, and the car slowly started and headed towards its destination.

Takahashi originally wanted to look around and see the scenery, but unfortunately the seats in the truck were full, and unless he took a taxi, he could only sit in the cargo box at the back.

It is impossible to take a taxi, it is too expensive, and it will not be reimbursed.

The finance department has already told Takahashi before that whether it is downstairs or going out, there are so many bonuses every day, and there will be no more tickets and no less tickets.

The closed door of the warehouse, there is no light and it is pitch black, except for a little bump, and the collision with the goods has an abnormal sound, in fact, it is generally good. At least a lot bigger than the house he and his uncle rented.

"Bear with me for money. ”

Takahashi comforted and comforted himself, and began to close his eyes and recuperate in order to conserve more energy.

You know, today's event is a full day. Although I don't have a lot of physical work, even if I stand alone for a day, I don't feel very good.

Unless you really like it, unless you are particularly addicted, most people don't play the same game day in and day out. It's strange not to cry monotonously.

By the time the door opened, the sun had already risen.

Takahashi, who saw the light again, moved the arcade machine out of the car with a few people.

It took less than an hour to pull the wires and cloth the stereo, and the venue was arranged.

Ten minutes before the mall opened, Takahashi returned to the car, took off his dirty clothes, and replaced them with a T-shirt emblazoned with Hudson's logo in English and the logo of Little Bee.

Although most people are on holiday today, because it is morning, it is estimated that they are all sleeping in, so there are not many people in the mall.

There are not many people, and there is no way to cause a herd effect. Even if two or three children stop once in a while, they will be pulled away by their parents.

Parents can't say that they are resistant to video games, but they don't like to let their children touch the arcade machines, and besides, it's already a hassle to come shopping with children today, and it would be even more stupid to delay time here.

Of course, the most important thing is that Takahashi is not popular here at all.

Although the children stopped to look at him out of curiosity, they had never seen Takahashi at all and couldn't recognize who he was. Nothing is more fun than playing on your own.

No one knows Takahashi, which is why Hiroshi Kudo sent Takahashi here.

Although Takahashi is already well-known in Akihabara, Tokyo is just too big. Chiyoda Ward, where Akihabara is located, knows you, and Nerima Ward will know too?

Kudo's idea is to let the whole of Tokyo, and even the whole of Ben, know about Hudson through a series of activities. Naturally, it is impossible to let Takahashi only be active in Akihabara.

It was quickly nine o'clock, and the development of events did not follow the script written by Hiroshi Kudo at all.

No one came to challenge Takahashi, and the atmosphere did not gradually heat up as planned.

Takahashi thought about it, and simply did it himself in front of the arcade, it doesn't matter if there is a challenger or not, then play by himself.

The music of "Interstellar Force" flowing from the arcade speakers is especially conspicuous in the mall. Many people heard the music of the arcade and turned their attention to it.

Takahashi sat upright, carefully performing each operation, and at the same time, the corresponding sound effect came out of the speaker.

It takes about 20 minutes to complete the level, and Takahashi did not choose to beat Cleopatra's head, and directly challenged the final level clearance.

The originally empty scoreboard brushed out Takahashi's results this time.

“GQ？”

Although today's arcade machines don't have the only player name at all, it's not that you can't use the name used by others. However, the name of the master is generally not used indiscriminately.

Even if you used the name before the master, you still have to change your name if it overlaps with the master's activity area.

Of course, this is not mandatory. It's okay not to change it, but it's more troublesome not to change it.

People from other places come to challenge when they hear the reputation of the master, and when they see you and the master have the same name, they think you are a master, so they compete with you.

At this point, do you explain that you are not a master of using this name, or do you stand up and fight?

As a result, although Takahashi had never been to Nerima Ward, the urban legend spread so quickly that the fame of "GQ" spread almost throughout Tokyo, and almost everyone who used the nickname "GQ" gave up the name "GQ" except Takahashi.

Because "GQ" represents the first person in "Interstellar Power", no one wants to get into trouble because of the same name.

People who really know how to do it will not be too nervous when they see the scores on the leaderboard.

Although this score is already very high, it has not been done to the extreme, and it is not impossible to exceed this score.

Someone continued to watch for a while, and found that this was not a deceptive grass platform team, but an official platform, and he chuckled, "But so, it's so godly, how powerful do you think." And he went on the field.

It's a good sign that there are challengers, at least they won't continue to be cold.

After Takahashi said "please advise", he threw a coin into the machine and waited for his opponent to start the game together.

Since he didn't know the strength of his opponent, Takahashi did not release water in the first pass. At the end of the first level, I glanced at the scoreboard on the opposite side to get an idea of what level it was. He only then began to put the appropriate level of water.

Releasing water in the competition is not only a technical job, but also a great test of the psychological quality of the person who releases the water.

If you put less, it will not be exciting, and if you put too much, you will lose.

The reason why Takahashi hasn't played for so long is because he is the only one who can blow Cleopatra's head.

But he knows that he is not the only one who can blow Cleopatra's head, as long as he has enough patience and targeted practice every day for a month or two, he can also practice.

Therefore, Takahashi is increasingly optimizing his water release technique, and how to put the most water to make the game more intense while ensuring that he is undefeated has become Takahashi's biggest problem in the face of "Interstellar Force".

However, he also knows that the life cycle of "Interstellar Force" is probably only one or two months away.

Before Shin'ichi Nakamoto returned to Sapporo, he had already told Takahashi that he was going back this time to work with the people in the hardware department to develop the sequel to "Interstellar Force", the arcade version and the red-and-white version of "Super Interstellar Force".

Once that game is designed, it will completely replace Interstellar Force as Hudson's main product. When the time comes, what "Interstellar Force" is, for Hudson, like a worn sock that can be thrown away.

The reason why he reminded Takahashi was to prevent Takahashi from putting all his energy into such a game that was destined to be eliminated in a short period of time.

In Shin'ichi Nakamoto's opinion, if you have that energy, you might as well learn how to develop games. In his opinion, the latter is more promising.

The opponent did not choose to play Cleopatra, and Takahashi did not choose either.

After a few minutes of battling points between the two, Takahashi won by a narrow margin.

With two people's scores refreshed on the leaderboard, Takahashi stood up and presented the challenger with a commemorative prize.

The challenger didn't ask for the prize, he didn't even stand up, he felt that he could win, went on to throw a coin, and began the challenge.

"Please advise. Takahashi looked at the challenger's look and knew that he had succeeded, and his eyes were full of smiles.
