Back in the hotel room, the three of them went to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Zhang Lexing pointed to the refreshments on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Yokoi, do you want to taste it first?"

"Thank you. Yokoi nodded, took a sip of freshly brewed tea, and then picked up a small snack and ate it in one bite. Masayuki Uemura knew that it was not appropriate for him to speak first on such an occasion, so he also drank tea and ate snacks with his head down.

Zhang Lexing picked up the glass teacup on the table, while watching the ups and downs in the turquoise clear soup, while smelling the fresh and mellow aroma that rose with the heat, neither in a hurry to drink tea, nor in a hurry to talk.

After a long while, Yokoi Junhei couldn't help it, he put down the teacup in his hand, and said eagerly: "Mr. Zhang, originally I wanted to ask through Uemura-kun to see if there was a chance, since you are here, then I will ask you directly." ”

Zhang Lexing took a sip of tea, then put the glass teacup back on the coffee table and said, "Okay, what does Mr. Yokoi want to ask?"

"I heard Uemura-kun say, Mr. Zhang, your game research institute here still needs research engineers in game console hardware, I don't know if you need it now?"

"Of course, we have always been very hungry for talent. Mr. Yokoi, do you mean this? Don't worry, we are absolutely welcome. ”

"That's not what I meant. Yokoi hesitated for a moment and said, " I'll just say it straight, Mr. Zhang, you should know, I belong to the first development department of Nintendo, and there are a lot of subordinates under my hands, and I was still in charge of a portable game console improvement project, but recently for some reason, this project was canceled, and my subordinates basically had to be adjusted to other departments, and even some were fired, in this case, my subordinates were very dissatisfied, and I was also very uncomfortable, so I wanted to find a new way out for my subordinates, and it happened that Uemura-kun gave me a business card......"

Zhang Lexing realized that the original variables were here, without Masayuki Uemura's business card, Yokoi Junhei might hold on for a while, and maybe it would continue to develop according to the original trajectory, but Zhang Lexing knew that the end of that trajectory was not a good destination, since the beginning had changed, it was better to completely change to another track.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing said generously: "No problem, I believe in Mr. Yokoi's recommendation, and the technical level of your subordinates will definitely not be a problem." But if I don't have a leader, I'll have to break them up, Mr. Yokoi, you won't mind. ”

"This ......" Yokoi Junhei took a breath, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you put them in one department, after all, they have always cooperated with each other before." ”

"In this way, we will be very embarrassed, the departments of our institute are basically not bad, if a lot of people come in at once, it can only be dispersed to various departments. Zhang Lexing looked embarrassed, and then changed his words: "Well, how about you continue to lead them, Mr. Yokoi?"

"I ......" Gunhei Yokoi didn't really think about his own affairs, although his handheld improvement project was canceled, but he was still a little reluctant to Nintendo.

"Mr. Yokoi, I know you're reluctant to leave Nintendo. You've achieved a lot of glory in the past, the Game & Watch console, the D-pad on the FC controller, and the GameBoy, all of which are inseparable from your efforts. In fact, it's not that you're reluctant to Nintendo, but you don't want to leave like this, and you want to make a little more achievements. But you don't even have that chance now, and since they don't give you a chance, why don't you want to prove it to them in another place? You, Gunpei Yokoi didn't fail, you didn't get knocked down by VRBoy......"

Zhang Lexing's words hit Hengi Junpei's heart heavily with every word, and he couldn't help but think: "Yes, why do I still hold on to a place where there is no hope, why don't I create another sky, let the president see, I, Yokoi Junpei, am not the perpetrator, let those ungrateful guys see, I, Yokoi Junhei, am not a loser." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I promise you, I will bring my subordinates over, I believe that since Uemura-kun can live well here, we can also get used to it. ”

"That's great, Mr. Yokoi, and you're welcome to join us. If you can prove your strength, you will be able to have your own department in the future, just like Mr. Uemura. ”

"Mr. Zhang, we will prove it. ”

"Well, now there's a chance, if you can complete the GameBoy improvement plan, then you can pass the test. ”

"We can definitely accomplish this, but Mr. Zhang, the GameBoy is owned by Nintendo, and even if we make it, it will be useless. And now that the handheld market is shrinking, there's no need to invest anymore. ”

"I'll find a way to solve the GameBoy problem, and as for the handheld market, wait a minute, there's something for you to see. After speaking, Zhang Lexing stood up and whispered a few words in Yan Ruofei's ear. Yan Ruofei nodded, turned around and left.

Yokoi Junhei looked at it inexplicably next to him, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so he had to pick up his teacup and take a few sips. Five minutes later, Yan Ruofei came back, still holding two GameBoys in her hands, and now Yokoi Junhei was even more confused.

Yan Ruofei handed the GameBoy in his hand to Yokoi Junhei and Uemura Masayuki respectively, Yokoi Junhei took the GameBoy, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhang, this is ......?"

"You play with it first, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Zhang Lexing did not answer directly.

Yokoi had no choice but to pick up the GameBoy and look at it first, and found that there was already a cassette inserted on it, but there was no cover, so he couldn't tell what game it was, so he turned on the power of the GameBoy and started playing. And Masayuki Uemura, who was next to him, was prepared, and he didn't feel overwhelmed when he took over the GameBoy, so he turned on the power and played directly.

The game is not difficult to get started, and it is even easier for someone like Gunpei Yokoi, who has been immersed in the game for a long time, and he quickly mastered the game's controls, experimenting with the game's unique ways of fighting and collecting.

After playing for a while, Junhei Yokoi put down the GameBoy in his hand and said with emotion: "Well, this is indeed a very interesting game, the character's modeling design is very distinctive, and it should be a good RPG game on the GameBoy platform." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, Mr. Yokoi, you can try this together. Zhang Lexing put a cable in front of Yokoi Junhei.

"GameBoy communication cables. Yokoi recognized it at a glance, and then he picked up the cable and skillfully connected it to the communication port on the side of the GameBoy, and the other end of the cable was connected to the GameBoy's communication port in Masayuki Uemura's hand.

Gunhei Yokoi picked up the GameBoy again, but didn't notice any changes, so he asked, "Mr. Zhang, what about next?"

Zhang Lexing picked up a piece of golden cake, took a bite, and said while chewing: "You restart the game and take a look." ”

Hearing what Zhang Lexing said, Junhei Yokoi and Masayuki Uemura restarted the game, and then they found that the "Battle" function that could not be selected in the game menu just now could be enabled.

"Can this game be played against two people online?" said Yokoi in surprise.

"Not only that, but the two can also exchange data with each other when they are online. Mr. Yokoi, in fact, the game card in your hand is a little different from the one in Mr. Uemura's hand, although the general process is similar, but the enemy creatures that appear are not exactly the same, so the two players can make up for the shortcomings in the collection process through such an exchange. Zhang Lexing added.

"Mr. Zhang, the people who designed this game are so creative, it's like it's tailor-made for GameBoy. Yokoi Junhei sighed for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Zhang, you took such a lot of trouble to show me this game, probably not just want me to be a commentator?" ”

"Of course not, Mr. Yokoi, I'm sure you can see how this game will give the GameBoy market a boost once it's released. Originally, I was going to sell directly, but you came and gave me a new idea. The current GameBoy screen doesn't look too clear, and it's a little bigger, so if it can be improved and then sold with this game, it will definitely bring a new whirlwind of games. ”

"But the GameBoy belongs to Nintendo. Yokoi again raised the question.

"That's true, but now that Nintendo has stopped researching the improvement of the GameBoy, and has also abandoned the first development department of Mr. Yokoi, it means that Nintendo is no longer optimistic about the GameBoy, and this is an opportunity for us. If Mr. Yokoi can successfully complete the improvement of the GameBoy and succeed with game sales, then it means that Nintendo is wrong about everything you are doing now, and it is their vision that is wrong. Mr. Yokoi, what do you think?"

"That's right, they don't see the potential of portable consoles, and they abandon the short, small, light, and thin development route, only staring at the images of next-gen games, forgetting that games are fun in the first place. Yokoi Junhei deeply agrees with Zhang Lexing's statement.

"In that case," Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand and said to Yokoi Junhei, "Mr. Yokoi, I wish us a happy cooperation in advance." ”

"Happy cooperation!" Yokoi Junhei also stretched out his hand and held Zhang Lexing's hand tightly.

When he was about to go out, Yokoi Junhei suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Zhang, what are you going to call this game?"

"Hmm......" Zhang Lexing thought for a moment, and then said, "Pokemon, PokeMon." ”

Yokoi Junhei stopped and said with a smile: "It's a good name, it's interesting." ”

The next day, after resting for the night, Yokoi Gunhei hurriedly left Hong Kong and returned to Kyoto, ready to discuss with his subordinates the way out. Zhang Lexing stayed in Hong Kong to discuss with Hua Ziqing, Xu Yeming and others how to take the relevant patents and further development rights of GameBoy from Nintendo. In fact, in Zhang Lexing's plan, the handheld should be ranked after the game console, but the appearance of Yokoi Junhei and Nintendo's neglect of the GameBoy made Zhang Lexing see an opportunity from it, and he will not have a dispute with Sony in the short term, and it can also provide a new development platform for domestic game companies, and by the way, it can also dig into Nintendo's corner, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

After a few days of discussion, Zhang Lexing, Hua Ziqing, Xu Yeming and others set the strategy of "under the guise of buying VRBoy-related technology, after a false shot, take advantage of its unpreparedness and take the GameBoy directly", Xu Yeming is responsible for the specific operation, and then Zhang Lexing returned to Beijing, because the last game of Fengyun Interactive Summer Vacation is about to be listed.

On August 15th, the anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this day is not a weekend, but the launch ceremony of "Bloody Battle on the Beach" still attracted many players to the scene. The band on the stage was playing the "March of the Broadsword", while the players in the audience were talking and waiting in twos and threes in the sound of exciting music.

"Did you hear that? Damn little Japan actually denied aggression against China, saying that they were just 'entering' China and helping the Chinese people overthrow colonial rule. Player A said angrily to his friend next to him.

"Hell, let's 'enter' Japan a few times another day, so that these damn people can enjoy it...... OO you XX" Player A's friend replied angrily.

"That's why I want to buy "Bloody Battle on the Beach", and I'm going to go back and teach these devils a good lesson. And," Player A took out his membership card and shook it, and said in a low voice: "I heard that there will be a high discount this time, and there is a four-fold discount on the membership card of the Fengyun Game Club, a set of only 48 yuan, and if you don't have it, you can also get a six-fold discount, which is super cheap." ”

"Hehe, I have that too. Player A's friend also took out a membership card and said proudly: "And my number is even higher than yours." ”

Player A was about to make a disdainful expression, but someone patted him on the shoulder and said, "Stop arguing, the game is starting to sell." ”

Player A didn't care about talking nonsense with his friends, so he quickly took out his number plate and lined up according to the guidance of the staff, and player A looked at the "26" number in his hand and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I came early." ”

Wu Yufei's home is in the south, but he doesn't go back every summer vacation, on the one hand, to find some part-time or tutoring jobs to exercise himself, and on the other hand, to save some money to buy his favorite games. Wu Yufei has always liked role-playing and adventure puzzle games, and he has never been very interested in FPS games like "Wolf3D" and "Doom", but this time "Blood Battle on the Beach" is different, because it is a devil, and the price is not expensive.

Although "Blood Battle on the Beach" released by Fengyun Interactive and produced by the creative workshop this time is not Li Wenbo's favorite simulation game, as an omnivorous player, he will not miss it, because he is not short of money. Due to the purchase of several games in one go, Li Wenbo has been upgraded from an ordinary member to a bronze card member, and can enjoy the treatment of booking a limited edition, so this time he did not go to the scene to squeeze again, but sat at home and waited, according to what he said on the phone, the limited edition he booked will be sent today (August 15th).

Waiting is always boring, Li Wenbo absentmindedly plays the "old" game on the computer, but his main attention is on listening to the movement outside the house. When the doorbell rang several times, Li Wenbo was overjoyed, but when he opened the door, he found that he was either delivering milk or newspapers, which made him very disappointed. At a quarter past ten in the morning, when Li Wenbo opened the door for the sixth time, the dream game finally appeared in front of him. After signing his name on the receipt, Li Wenbo ran into the house with the game in his arms, almost forgetting to close the door.

Back next to the computer, Li Wenbo unpacked the package, didn't care about carefully counting the contents, took out the game CD, and couldn't wait to put it into the computer CD drive and start to install it. Taking advantage of the gap in installation, Li Wenbo took out the game manual, the manual is still as thick as ever, and he didn't have the energy to look at it carefully, he just took a cursory look at the part of the game operation guide, and then put the manual aside, because the game has been installed.

According to the method suggested in the manual, Li Wenbo launched "Bloody Battle on the Beach" and stepped into that special era......

A black-and-white cinematic cutscene tells the background of the era, and on August 13, 1937, due to the incident at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, the Chinese army began to attack the Japanese army entrenched in Shanghai......

More than two months later, the Chinese attack did not work, but the Japanese reinforcements had approached Shanghai, and even the vanguard had infiltrated Shanghai......

The black-and-white film on the screen gradually turns into color, and the main character of the game appears, he is a soldier who has received special military training abroad, and the purpose of this trip is to pick up an intelligence team, because he has not been able to retreat in time, the area where the intelligence team is located has been occupied by the Japanese army, and he must overcome many obstacles to complete this mission.

The smoke cleared, Li Wenbo (the name of the protagonist of the game can be customized) appeared on the top floor of a building, on the wooden box in front of him, there were daggers and shell guns and several shell gun clips, he picked it up casually, this will be the main weapon in his hand next, because the Japanese army has infiltrated into the city, the support personnel only have time to store part of the weapons and equipment on the route of the line, and the subordinates can only find a way from the enemy.

Li Wenbo held the shell gun, walked down the stairs carefully, and had just walked two floors, when suddenly the sound of Japanese soldiers' leather boots stepping on the floor slab came from the corridor. Li Wenbo bent down (squatted) and looked out cautiously, and a Japanese soldier with a Tomosaka Type 38 rifle (38 big cover) was walking towards the other end of the corridor with his back to him. After estimating the distance, Li Wenbo put on a dagger, lightly touched the back of the Japanese soldier, covered his mouth with one hand, and swiped with the other hand (the assassination stunt of the dagger), and the Japanese soldier slowly slid down silently.

Li Wenbo picked up the Tomosaka 38 rifle left by the Japanese soldiers, searched for 20 rounds of ammunition from the Japanese soldiers, and then replaced them with shell guns, and after carefully searching the corridors, he continued to walk down the stairs. This time it went well, and I didn't meet any new Japanese soldiers until I walked out of the building.

As soon as he was about to cross the street, Li Wenbo found a Japanese soldier with a machine gun standing on the balcony of a building not far away, which happened to block the street, so he had no choice but to change into a captured Tomosaka 38 rifle, and then carefully chose a good position, picked up the rifle and aimed at the Japanese soldier on the balcony......

As the game progressed, Li Wenbo gradually approached the area where the intelligence group was located, and the number of enemies became more and more, not only riflemen and machine gunners, but also new enemies such as sappers (who can lay mines and sweep mines, with weak combat effectiveness), cavalry (strong combat effectiveness and fast speed), grenadiers, communication soldiers (their own combat effectiveness is extremely weak, but they can call for artillery support), armored combat vehicles (they must use bazookas to destroy, there are not many of them), and other new enemies appeared, and the difficulty of the battle became more and more difficult.

Correspondingly, Li Wenbo also obtained a lot of weapons and ammunition, such as M1903 Springfield rifles, Thomson submachine guns, Mauser 98k sniper rifles, Czech light machine guns, and even fixed heavy machine guns can be found in some places, and of course, the ultimate weapon for destroying armored combat vehicles, bazookas, but unfortunately most of them are relatively limited.

Fortunately, sometimes he can still get the support of friendly troops, especially when Li Wenbo walked along a relatively wide street, a group of enemy cavalry rushed towards him, he only had a rifle in his hand, at that time he thought he was dead, but a few Czech light machine guns suddenly stretched out from the windows on both sides of the street, and at once the enemy cavalry who was showing off their might was beaten on their backs, and Li Wenbo's heart immediately surged with a feeling of desperate survival.

……

Just when the players were fighting on the streets of Shanghai, Zhang Lexing received the news brought by Yan Ruofei that Yokoi Junhei left Nintendo with more than a dozen subordinates and officially joined the Game Research Institute in Hong Kong......
