Chapter 80: Showmanship
It's a cool way to play a game, which is easy to say, but it's a bit problematic to actually put it into practice. Lin Yan didn't start the game immediately in a hurry, but deduced the route in his heart.
Cool, of course, it's going to be thrilling and exciting. Lin Yan didn't plan to pursue the fastest clearance, as it wasn't much different from his usual gameplay. He will not use the safe method of a long-haired youth, the kind of snail-like game method, although the use of long hair will get many people to marvel, but it will be counterproductive when it comes out. Maybe the onlookers will think that Lin Yanjiang is finished.
After thinking about it for a while, the most suitable for the current situation is to be surrounded and intercepted by a few little ghosts, which seems dangerous, like stepping on a tightrope rope or dancing on the tip of a needle, so that the whole game process is full of tension and excitement, so as to achieve an appropriate performance effect.
Lin Yan calculated a little and found a suitable route. No matter how surprising the world in the box of "Pac-Man" is, it still lacks change. As long as you have enough patience, you can observe and summarize a set of effective customs clearance strategies.
Games, and even video games, are, to put it bluntly, a process of repeated training. In the repetitive training of the machine, the game level of the whole person is improved. And the reason why everyone likes to watch high-end players play games is because they really play well, and secondly, they subconsciously want to learn some experience so as to improve their game level. That said, watching the game is also a learning process.
The long hair didn't interrupt Lin Yan's thinking, and neither did the onlookers around him. Don't look at these onlookers, they are usually very active and can coax, but they are actually quite qualified. Perhaps, people who enter the arcade for the first time will think that the people gathered here are all delinquent teenagers. However, after integrating in, you will find that the people in the arcade hall are a group of people who are very enthusiastic and comfortable. Latecomers are also willing to be assimilated into this environment and enjoy the game.
It took about two minutes before Lin Yan put his hand on the operation panel of the "Pac-Man" arcade machine. Although Pac-Man is a game, you only need to manipulate the joystick to control the direction up, down, left and right. However, this machine also has a few buttons on the right. It seems a bit wasteful, but it's not, it's a public version of the design, so it's easy to change the game later. After all, no matter how fun a game is, there will be a time when it will end its life cycle.
Lin Yan put in a hundred-dollar coin and began to manipulate the notched soybean-like figure.
"Oh! I'm going to die! ”
"Oh my God!"
"Wait......"
"Look at that pause, it's so mysterious." The onlookers let out one exclamation after another, and then began to praise Lin Yan's operation just now.
The long-haired young man was also a little surprised, and he quickly saw that there was indeed a big gap between himself and the kid in front of him who was still wearing a school uniform. His hand was a little tight, and the notebook in his hand was a little wrinkled, but he was not discouraged by the gap, but burst out with vigorous fighting spirit. He knows that as long as he works hard, the first place in "Pac-Man" will definitely be himself.
For him, "Pac-Man" is just an entertainment and leisure game, but in such an entertainment and leisure game, the sense of accomplishment of winning the first place is also very remarkable. Because, he has always felt that he is better than others, but he has not shown his advantages in life. He felt that he would definitely achieve something in video games, a game that was fair to everyone.
As soon as the game was played, the time passed quickly, and Lin Yan didn't pay attention to it, and the time in the game reached thirty levels. That's what makes video games so enjoyable. Even in the arcade, the environment is noisy, but once you are in the game, the noise seems to disappear, and the world is only left with yourself and the game you see.
When Lin Yan saw the game clearance screen, he suddenly remembered that he was not setting a record. There is also a time when playing games can be done in moderation. So, he let go of his hand and let go of the joystick, and after a while the big pie villain who had stagnated was eaten by the ghost.
It's game over.
The surrounding onlookers had a feeling of unfinished business. They felt that it would be too wasteful for Lin Yan to stop playing like this. You must know that it is difficult for them to play ten levels by themselves, and it is simply impossible for a person like Lin Yan to be able to use this kind of dangerous gameplay almost all the time to play to thirty levels.
"I'm done." Lin Yan said to the long-haired youth.
Generally, between game masters, it is nonsense to say that there are feelings of sympathy for each other, and people who are competitors to each other. I wish my opponent would be killed by myself. Then, let's pretend to say "play well" to improve some of your "moral level".
Lin Yan was not so cheap, he spoke very slowly, and he didn't have that kind of mockery. To be honest, he didn't regard the long-haired young man in front of him as a competitor. It's a kind of feeling that the elders are promoting the younger generations.
It seems a bit mysterious to say, but Lin Yan himself really doesn't really think about the ranking of the game. The reason why he plays in this arcade hall and ranks first in various arcades is actually a bad taste. He wants to see if video games can really get people to devote themselves wholeheartedly to it, so as to kill his own first.
As for the Four Heavenly Kings and the Eight Dharma Protectors, these messy things were all promoted by enthusiastic onlookers, and they had nothing to do with Lin Yan himself. He couldn't say not to engage in these things, so he just let it go.
Long Hair said, "I didn't expect you to play so well, but I have a question, it seems that your route is not the best." Those images that seem dangerous should not exist. ”
This is the problem he found after watching Lin Yan play the game. The way long hair himself adopts the most secure way to play, and the whole game process seems to be very conservative, avoiding all dangerous things to the greatest extent, eating every bean, and getting every point. But he didn't see Lin Yan's gameplay like this, Lin Yan threw himself into a danger similar to a desperate situation again and again, and then escaped. He couldn't understand what Lin Yan was doing such an inefficient and dangerous thing.
Lin Yan heard the question of long hair, smiled and said, "The reason why I did this is quite simple, just to make everyone happy to watch, after all, monotonous eating beans always seems a little boring, right?" ”
After Lin Yan's speech, there was a burst of ** among the onlookers. Although they had expected it for a long time, it still felt too incredible after hearing Lin Yan personally say that all the critical situations in the game were deliberately arranged by him.
They suddenly felt that Lin Yan's level was really high mountain, and they didn't know where to go higher than their own level. When you are trying not to die, people can already tease the ghosts, so as to achieve the best viewing effect.
Seeing the exaggerated performance of the crowd around him, Long Hair knew that Lin Yan really had a reason for doing this. However, he disagrees with this approach because he thinks that video games are not for others to watch and entertain. It's about making yourself happy. This kind of dramatic gameplay is absolutely heretical, and getting a higher score is the way to go.
He made up his mind and said, "I'll definitely perfect my game method and win yours." ”
"Always welcome." Lin Yan replied that he really welcomed the challenger. Of course, there has also been a challenger screening mechanism recently, after all, it is a very painful thing to be annoyed by the little minions all the time. It's not that Lin Yan looks down on the most ordinary ordinary players. Rather, playing with them is not always enjoyable. To describe it in such a sentence, it is that before Lin Yan can contribute, ordinary players have fallen.
And the other party is also prone to frustration, and even no longer plays video games. Matchups with too high a level gap are not a pleasant thing for both sides of the game. Therefore, he also acquiesced to the challenge system of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Eight Dharma Protectors.
Such a system, of course, has a good side, so that the attention of the rest of the players is distracted, not all of them pay attention to Lin Yan, after all, if Lin Yan does not come to play video games one day, it will also have some impact on the business of this arcade hall.
Speaking of arcade halls, Hayashi Yan's beloved Uncle Yamazaki Kiya also runs an arcade hall. Lin Yan saw him open the arcade with his own eyes, but he didn't bother him. I heard my dad say that Yamazaki Kaiya came to him for a drink some time ago. Put your arms around his neck in an izakaya and say that he and his father are best friends. How much is the truth of this, deliberately not returning much more than the fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork, but he is more showing an attitude. That is to say, he confessed and didn't want to do it against the Lin family.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Lin Yan has no reason to go to his store for trouble. Lin Yan once asked his father if he wanted to open a video game arcade hall, and his father's answer surprised Lin Yan, he actually said that he didn't want to. However, for good reason, he said that he liked to repair electrical appliances, and that he inherited this job from his father, and he did not want to lose it.
This made Lin Yan feel that his father was a little insistent, and he also felt that his father was quite dangerous. Just like his father's drinking, he felt that when he became an adult, he must leave home and venture out into the wider world. Because, maybe if you stay at home, you will be at home for the rest of your life, and your son will inherit his father's business and engage in the ancestral business of electrical maintenance.
At that time, Lin Yan can even hang a sign outside his shop.
"Ancestral electrical maintenance, a century-old brand."
Such a future is not the future that Lin Yan wants. Because, his life in his "previous life" or "previous life" is already very mediocre. When he saw that his single-handedly planned video game business was making waves in Japan, he felt that he should do more and bigger things to impact the whole world. This should be an ideal.
The long-haired young man was not hit, in fact, Lin Yan stopped at the thirty-third level, and the long-haired man played at the thirty-third level, so it stands to reason that Lin Yan "lost".
However, as the eyes of the vast number of onlookers, no one thought that Lin Yan had lost. Because, it was Lin Yan who stopped the operation himself, and if he wanted to play, he would definitely be able to keep playing. In fact, there has always been such a legend in the arcade hall, it is said that no one has ever seen the picture of Lin Yan not taking the initiative, but dying by mistake.
Such a legend also shrouded Lin Yan's body with a layer of mystery like a cloud of smoke, because everyone never knew where Lin Yan's limit was.
Not to mention that these people don't know where Lin Yan's limit is, they don't even know what Lin Yan's real name is. only knew that Lin Yan left the English letter "Ai Lu Crooked" on the rankings, and they also used two letters to describe Lin Yan.
Sometimes, when Lin Yan heard this group of people read their names in letters with a Japanese accent, he also felt a little funny. One is that the English pronunciation of the Japanese is really a bit unbearable. Second, this is actually his name, an acronym pronounced in Chinese, but here it is directly said by everyone as a letter, which is also a wonderful thing.
As we zoom out, the licensing of video game arcades is fully public, and the impact is already being revealed. First, the number of manufacturers of arcade machines has increased dramatically. It's the meaning of the video game league game that exists in name only, and even the right to review arcade games has been completely lost.
Because, according to the rules announced by the Chiba Group, any company, enterprise, or individual can launch their own video game arcade. Not regulated by any organization.
As a result, imitation games, which were slightly less popular with the Video Game League, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. This imitation is very irritating. After the pioneers explored the way, everyone knew that imitation cannot be imitated from head to toe, from the inside out.
Just copy the core gameplay. In fact, the video game league itself has been working on it. Their censorship system is more of a kind of meaning, only allowing state officials to set fires, and not ordinary people to light lamps. This unequal treatment has also made many small manufacturers who have joined the arcade production system of the video game league complain. However, although they were originally dissatisfied, they had no other choice.
Unlike now, there are already many small manufacturers who have opted out of the video game league. Therefore, the industrial expansion of the video game alliance has also encountered relatively big problems. The company's market capitalization has also increased slowly, and the listing plan has been delayed a lot. Although the Japanese stock market is a stagnant pool, listing is useless.
