Chapter 50: Monsters
"I played very well in the arcade, and The King of Fighters beat a teenager in a city, and I excitedly told my dad that I wanted to be a professional gamer in the future.
My dad was so angry with me that he came back to his senses and slapped me, confiscated my pocket money, and locked me in the house to do math problems. ”
My name is Tawei Suzuki, male, 16 years old, from Saitama City.
My daily life is to go to school and play games, and my main mind is to play games.
The little class leader combed her ponytail, and every time she finished lunch, she took out an apple from the table to eat, others called her Apple Girl, but I thought she looked like a rabbit eating apples, so I called her a rabbit.
Rabbits always like to wear white dresses, and that's how they were in elementary school, in the words of Chinese character poems, that is, out of the mud without staining. We lived on the same street, and we often went home together.
"Rabbit, lend me a hundred." When I was returning home one afternoon, I said to the rabbit as I passed by the arcade machine.
The rabbit bared her little teeth and said, "Your dad said that if you play the game again, he will kill you." ”
"Don't worry, I'll play for a while, where will he know."
That afternoon I was in a big way, and I beat a dozen teenagers in a row with a coin, and the rabbit was a little uncomfortable in the frenzied atmosphere, and always pulled me by the corner of my clothes to go home. Looking at the wall clock on the grocery store, it was really not early, I patted my clothes, and said in a unique expert style, "There is no one who can fight." ”
I feel that at this moment, I am like the kind of hero in Hong Kong martial arts films. My dad likes to read martial arts novels. Maybe it's similar to the sweeping monk in a martial arts novel.
Just as I was about to drift away, a young man with thin eyes and a weak look that couldn't stand the wind tried to fight me.
I thought to myself that the last hit would be hit. Look at the way he looks, you can finish him out in two minutes.
I didn't think that there were people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains, and I was beaten one set of combos after another, and I was pressed into the toilet, that is, in the corner of the wall.
I was not convinced, and even fought with the rabbit before asking him for a chance. They were tortured and killed again and again.
I wanted to finish it, but I ran out of money, and the man in glasses stood up and glanced at me. sneered and said, "You are such a dish, what kind of game do you play, go home and repair the car." ”
I almost ran out of breath and had internal injuries. It makes him look like a positive character. And I'm like a villain. Fortunately, I held on to it and didn't fight too much, so I made an appointment to continue the fight the next day.
When I came home at night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, thinking about his movements, pondering his habitual combos, and looking for space inside. No one's combos will be perfect, as long as it is human, there will be mistakes.
I asked my mother for a thousand yuan. As soon as school was out the next day, I ran to the grocery store. Although I thought about it a lot and did a lot of countermeasures. But he was still beaten violently and never won a game.
In the following month, I didn't win a single time, and slowly turned from disbelief to admiration, I followed the appearance of the little brother on TV and asked him, "Big brother, are you a professional gamer?" ”
He blushed a little, and he said, "How is it possible, in our place, there are at least thirty people who are better than me." ”
When I got home in the evening, I was devastated. I never touched the arcade again, and the rabbit asked me why I didn't play anymore, and I walked in the cold wind and said, "I don't have a talent for playing games, so let's do something else." ”
In the days that followed, I became obsessed with playing billiards. As we all know, billiard halls are similar to arcade halls, and the proportion of delinquent teenagers and unemployed vagrants is relatively high.
I started playing after watching it for a week, and when I first closed the pole, I thought I was too good. Even after all these years, the rabbit still comes home with me.
After a few more months, I felt that my level was enough, and I always laughed at the rabbit and said that she was stupid and couldn't learn to play billiards no matter how she learned.
Since I felt that my level was very high, I started betting with others.
A ball of 100 yuan can sometimes win thousands of yen a night, and on weekends and holidays, you can buy a lot of snacks to eat with rabbits.
After another day of playing, I came home and there happened to be a Hong Kong movie on TV, Stephen Chow's "Descendants of the Dragon".
I said to my dad, "Get me a coach and I'll be the next him." I pointed to Stephen Chow, who was bent down at the bottom of the screen.
Dad didn't speak for a long time, I was babbling on the side, describing how powerful I was, how unparalleled I was, I was blowing hard, suddenly I felt like I was losing my balance, Daddy kicked off, and I stuck to the wall.
One night, I was once again invincible in the city in one field.
On this day, I bet with a bald head with a raw face, and the bald head is very skillful, and in just an hour, I won him a thousand yuan. With a gold chain, he looked like a turtle. He yelled that it was boring, saying that the game was too small to have the heart to fight.
I smiled in my heart, this product is going to give me money, so I smiled and said, "That's a thousand balls." ”
The bald head rubbed the cue and said, "A thousand is a thousand, barely playing with you." ”
The way he looks, I almost believe that he is a master.
As soon as I kicked off, I was dumbfounded, this bald head was like a different person, his spirit had changed, and he finished the ball in two shots. I lost tens of thousands of dollars in the fourth game, and he spread his hands to ask me for money, I was stunned, and I said, "I don't have that much money." ”
The bald head stopped, smashed the cue on the pool table, glared and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
A group of people surrounded me and gave me several kicks with a bald head. Now I can see that this was a deliberate set for me.
At this time, the rabbit rushed in and blocked me, and she trembled and said, "Don't fight, I have money." ”
Then, she opened the little purse I had given her and gave the bald head all the money she had saved for a long, long time.
I was sullen that night, and the rabbit followed me, and she said, "Don't gamble with anyone else in the future." ”
I nodded, suddenly feeling like a cigarette, I looked up at the streetlight and said, "I don't play billiards anymore, I don't have that talent." ”
After that, I didn't have any other hobbies. The study has also gotten better little by little. Later, I was admitted to university, and I came here in an ordinary way.
I didn't become a professional player, nor did I become the first person in billiards. I am who I am. An ordinary person. Now I accompany her every day by the rabbit's side, and others say that the rabbit is blind, so I like me like waste wood.
I don't really care, even if they say it to their face, I'm happy.
That's the end of this article. This is an essay contest on a certain forum, posted by a user.
This is a forum for video games, under the jurisdiction of Chiba Games.
As a matter of fact. Today's Chiba Games put a lot of effort into online interaction, because the future is the era of online interaction.
Recent. Chiba Games also made its first online game of its own. In order to take care of the network of most players, it can't be the kind of game with timely feedback, so it's a turn-based game. Taking care of the function is not a three-dimensional game. It's a two-dimensional hand-drawn cartoon style.
The name of this game is Stone Age. The fifth development department of Chiba Games has now begun to study how to make socialization a core attribute of a game.
In fact, social as an attribute of the game has been tried better in the "Sims" series.
Therefore, the Fifth Development Department is not a blind man without a foundation.
But. It is from the socialization of any computer to the socialization of people and people. The whole game is actually played by one person. And it wasn't much fun.
Because, as an online game, the most fundamental core of "Stone Age" is to build an interactive platform for players.
This game is the first online game in Japan and the first free online game in Japan. The operation strategy of this game is basically the same as the small continuous payment used by Chiba Games in its own instant chat software.
That is, some key props can be bought with money. It is also possible to chat and buy world speakers. Although these things are not bought, the impact on the whole game is not very great. At most, it's more time to play.
However, "Stone Age" has only been on service for a week, but it still has an objective benefit.
Small continuous payment is really a magical payment model.
Of course, there is a built-in auction house in the game, where players can put their own items up for auction, and then the system has a commission of about five percent.
In order to facilitate the recharge of players, Chiba Games used the relationship of Chiba Bank behind him to open an interface for online banking. As long as you do the corresponding operations, you can easily trade virtual items online.
About half a year later, Chiba Games launched a brand new website. A website for individual sellers and buyers. On this site, anything can be sold as long as it is legal. And the virtual payment of Chiba Games as a third party, will make a guarantee.
Before the transaction is successful, the money is placed here in Chiba Games, and then through the logistics express, when the buyer receives the goods, feels satisfied, and clicks to receive the goods, the money will reach the seller.
Due to the years of hard work in the field of home consoles, Chiba Games has accumulated enough credibility, and many buyers and sellers are players of Chiba Games, so they are also assured to trade on Chiba Games.
As a result, the online trading of Chiba games has developed in full swing.
Since all levels of wholesalers are avoided, the cost is lowered. The price of general brands of clothes has even reached the level of Youyiku.
In less than a year, this new way of trading has been accepted by the vast number of Japanese people.
Especially when the new super red and white machine is specially added, an interface is added. This is the trading volume of 1 billion yen in a single month.
Of course, during this period, Chiba Games did not have much income, and more was spent on setting up more servers.
The new super red and white machine has slightly met Lin Yan's expectations, that is, it has changed from a simple game machine to play games. It goes without saying how powerful this interface is. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what a good interface such a machine with tens of millions of people opening every day.
Although the United States has a lot of cooperative relations with Chiba Games, they also want to enter the field of home game consoles.
Because the prospects in this field are so good. In addition to home game consoles, there is no other household appliance, and there can be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of installed units in one model.
If, such a household appliance, it is useless to be a washing machine and a microwave oven. However, the home game console, which is a machine that turns on every day and looks at every day, is different.
However, Micro Hard has been looking at the appearance for so many years, and it has not yet entered. And Chiba Games, on the other hand, has begun to realize this huge installed capacity with the development of science and technology.
The new super red and white machine has a special living area, in which there are weather forecasts and various news broadcasts. You can even buy some lottery tickets and buy stocks here. It can be said that such a machine fully meets the daily needs of most users.
Of course, the next thing Chiba Games wants is to cooperate with stores in various places. For example, supermarkets, vegetable markets, various bakeries and so on, order something here, and you can deliver it there.
However, the amount of collaboration required for this project was too great. It's not easy to coordinate with so many stores, so I just started experimenting with this function as a pilot in Akihabara.
The potential of the home machine has been squeezed out of everything, and the handheld machine has not relaxed. Now ninety-five years later, the so-called third-generation mobile network standard has been established.
It won't be long before faster internet speeds arrive.
However, the new handheld did not turn itself into a phone. Because, the cost is not yet acceptable. Although Chiba Games has some patent reserves for communication technology, it is not very complete.
Moreover, the integration of electronic components is not enough now.
Titanium Optical Technology has recently developed a lightning memory card, the size of the card is very small, but the capacity is not bad.
The new console of Chiba Games revolves around this readable and writable memory card to expand multimedia. Originally, the machine could only play games, but now it can also read novels, listen to songs, and watch videos. Although, I am not very proficient in all aspects, but I can do any of them.
In this way, there is not much development. But, don't worry, most users aren't so-called audiophiles.
The kind of people who play a certain field to the extreme are not the target users of Chiba game handhelds, and they will not look at the new console of Chiba Game Decathlon.
Of course, the video and audio standards are a bit troublesome. There have been some exchanges with various large companies. It's not hard to set a standard, but it's a challenge to get everyone to use it.
Lin Yan felt that if the Chiba game really developed according to its current appearance, it would really be a big monster. (To be continued.) )
