In the evening, the members of the R&D team, who had been praised by Zhu Yin, decided to find a store together in Akihabara to celebrate, but Shota refused their invitation on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

"Brother Shota...... Are you really okay? ”

"Well, don't worry, go to sea, cough cough...... As long as you have a good rest for a few days, you'll be fine. ”

"Okay then...... If there's anything you need, be sure to call me. ”

After smiling and agreeing to go to sea, Shota turned and left the office, leaving the place that suddenly made him feel strange and uncomfortable.

He couldn't figure out why Zhu Yin gave such a high evaluation, he didn't think that game could get such a high score, and it was 9999990 such a special number.

If he didn't know Zhu Yin's personality very well, he might even think that Zhu Yin was just showing her influence.

However, Zhu Yin is not a person who would do such a boring thing, and it makes no sense for Shota to do this.

"Shota, are you being arrogant?"

After finding a random coffee shop, Shota told Yukino about his troubles over the phone, and after listening to it, Yukino said this. After a little thought, Shota understood the meaning of Yukino's words.

"No, ahem...... I'm not presumptuous, I'm just ...... Maybe it's because Xue Nai is not familiar with Master Zhu Yin, she will never give such a high score. ”

Otherwise, Iori and the members of the R&D team would not have been so happy.

“…… That may be the case. After a moment of silence, Yukino agreed with Shota, "So, when I return to China next time, can you introduce Shota to me?" ”

"Hmm~, of course!" The corners of Shota's mouth showed a happy smile again, and even the discomfort he felt before was washed away a lot, "Then it's agreed." ”

"It's agreed. But Shota, you must pay attention to your body. ”

"Well, I will."

After making this agreement, Shota and Yukino briefly chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone. I wasn't able to get an answer from Yukino, but just hearing Yukino's voice was enough.

Looking at the phone number of Eiri Pear who was just below Yukino, Shota thought about it and finally decided not to disturb Eiri Ri painting. Yesterday, when I was talking to Ying Li on the phone, Ying Li Li said that she seemed to have found a different painting method from the past, and also won the right to catch up with the progress all night from Shota's side.

Although, Shota was very reluctant to agree to Ying Liri's request.

After hesitating for a while, he finally chose a more normal one from the selfie he sent to Yukino before, with 'Come on, sister~!' The text was sent to Ying Li Li by e-mail.

After the email was sent, Shota found that it was still very early, and in addition to Uncle An, his parents and Ying Li Li were not at home, so there was no point in going back so early, so he decided to hang out in Akihabara for a while, settle dinner and go back.

It's been a long time since he's been wandering around Akihabara lightly.

After paying for the coffee, Shota left the café and walked in a random direction. Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe Shota has been thinking about it in his heart, and when he comes back to his senses and looks up, he has already walked to the door of a very famous video game store, Sugamo.

"Well...... Since you're here, let's go play for a full score. ”

After shrugging his shoulders as if he didn't care, Shota walked into the video game store with some impatience, not knowing who his lame performance was for.

This isn't the first time Shota has come to this video toy store, and Iori, Ryonya, and others have been here before. Later, at Zhu Yin's request, Shota learned that there was an iron plate array in this video game store, and he also came to play a few times.

It's just that every time the score is far from the perfect score.

As soon as Shota walked into Sugamo's nostalgic game area, the first thing he saw was the rudimentary levers and buttons of the Iron Plate Array, which were placed alone in the corner.

After all, today's customers are basically not interested in this kind of antique-level arcade machine, and it is good to be able to keep it, and it is not a strange thing to put it in the corner.

……

……

Almost two hours later, a small talk on Twitter was suddenly pushed up.

"I saw someone playing Teppanyaki NOW at a video game store! He's played three rounds and dodged sixteen barrages, which is really amazing! With such a technology, you may be able to see a perfect score again after a long absence! ”

"It's so nostalgic!"

"Huh? I'm watching that guy play, too. But to my surprise, the guy was a little decadent, but he was actually no more than twenty years old. ”

"So young? How is it possible, how can there be relatives who will play the iron plate formation now! ”

"Excuse me, which game store is it in?"

"It's Sugamo! It must be Sugamo, right, when I went to the store not long ago, I saw a high school student playing teppanyaki, and it seemed to be having a pretty good time. ”

"That's right, it's Sugamo, does anyone want to come along? He's passed another level! ”

What happened on Twitter, of course, Shota, who was concentrating on the iron plate array, had no way of knowing, except for coughing from time to time, his eyes never left the screen at all, and he didn't even notice that a group of people suddenly appeared behind him and watched him play the iron plate array.

Just outside the crowd, a uniformed video game store employee ran up to the store manager with a panicked face and said, "Manager, there is a sudden influx of customers in the store, and they are all ......"

"It's all going to the nostalgic gaming zone, right?" The store manager impatiently moved his gaze from the phone screen to the employee's face, "Okay, I know, don't panic, they just came to watch people play games." ”

"But the store manager ......"

"Just listen to me."

The store manager waved his hand, looking unquestionable. Because he firmly believes that there will never be a bad person for people who still like video games in the past.

……

……

"It's already over 500W points!"

"Ah......hh Why am I hospitalized in the hospital now, can anyone take a few photos and send them up? ”

"I'd love to help, but I can't see the arcade screen even if I'm on tiptoe right now......"

The situation in the Sugamo video game store is the same as on Twitter, and the atmosphere in the store becomes more and more lively as the number of customers increases.

Although these people who heard the news didn't even spend a single coin, they just liked to see someone hit the perfect score again.

After looking at the current time, the clerk came to the store manager again and said, "Store manager...... It's almost closing time, and the boy ......"

"Judging by his previous performances, I guess I can still play for 3 or 4 hours. But today he seems to have improved again, maybe, this time he can really score a perfect score for one coin. ”

"But the time is almost up, and according to the regulations, the power must be turned off."

"Ah, indeed, this is also a troublesome matter......" The middle-aged store manager scratched his hair with some distress, and only after half a sound did he hammer his palm and make a decision, "That's it, when the time comes, you can go and turn off the power of other machines first, and then pull down the iron doors of the front and rear doors." If you want to light the lamp, just leave this little piece here unturned off. ”

"Huh? However, if it is discovered......"

"It's okay, it's just a review and a fine, I'm mentally prepared." For the sake of Shota, who was surrounded by the crowd and concentrated, and also to remember the game he once loved, the middle-aged store manager grinned and gave a thumbs up to the clerk who was only a high school student, "You can go home when you're done with this, it's already past the time of the part-time job." ”

"Hmm~Hmm, I don't care!" The high school student employee shook his head, "I'm also curious if he can get a perfect score." And now this scene is very strange, it really feels like it is out of reality! ”

"Then it's up to you."

……

……

"Sister, the dishes have been cleaned."

"I've worked hard for you today, Megumi."

"It's okay, sister." After wiping off the water stains on her hands, Megumi came to the living room and said to Zhu Yin, who was playing with her mobile phone, with a smile, "If my sister comes home, I can cook for my sister every day." ”

"Are you dreaming?" Zhu Yin sarcastically said unceremoniously, "Forget it once or twice, every day, do you think your mother will agree?" ”

In the face of Zhu Yin's sarcastic words, Hui's face did not change at all, and he still looked quiet, sitting silently beside Zhu Yin.

"Well, forget it, let's talk about something else. Megumi, tell me again about what happened when Shota launched your club. ”

"Huh? What's the matter, sister, didn't I tell you before? ”

"I want to make sure. Seemingly, I seem to have mistaken Shota. He really seems to be just a fool. ”

Hui looked at Zhu Yin quietly for a while, and then said, "Although I don't know what my sister will say again, but ...... It's the first time I've seen my sister look so unconvinced. By the way, Shota is indeed a fool. ”

“…… Looks like it's really interesting. ”

……

……

The highest score of the iron plate formation will always be only 9999990 points. When this score is reached, the game will continue to play, but the score will not go up again.

It's like filling a cup with water, no matter how much you fill it, the water in the cup will never get more.

Okay, 9999990 points, achieved! I'm sorry, Master.

This time, I don't agree with your idea.

Just as the score on the screen jumped to 9999990 points, and the arcade machine played a rather retro melody, enthusiastic cheers suddenly came from behind Shota.

Huh? When......

Frightened by the cheers, Shota turned around in surprise, only to realize that he was surrounded by dozens of people. If it weren't for the fact that it was late now, there would only be more people behind Shota.

It won't be ...... No, no, it's not my sister's painting! And my sister will never draw BL!

But fortunately, the words spoken by these people dispelled Shota's worries.

"Great! Had a good time! ”

"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone give a perfect score...... No, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone playing a teppanyaki. ”

At this moment, Shota's situation is almost the same as when he was in the office in the afternoon, but the feeling it brings to Shota is completely different.

"Ah, thank you, thank you, ahem......"

Looking at the heartfelt happy expressions and warm applause of the people, Shota was stunned for a while before remembering to respond.

A warm-hearted middle-aged man stepped forward and said with concern: "Are you okay, little brother, you look very bad?" ”

"Hmm...... Thanks for the concern, I'm fine. ”

"By the way, you were so focused on playing just now that you probably didn't hear it, your phone seems to have rang several times just now, it should be your family calling you, right?"

Cell phone?

After hearing the middle-aged man's reminder, Shota hurriedly took out his mobile phone. Looking at the missed call on the screen from Ying Lili and the four from Lunye, a deep uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart.

It's as if the next moment is going to suffocate.
