Chapter 14: The Child

Outside the Taoyuan Phantom Cinema, there is a row of five arcade machines. In the scorching sun, a little child stood by empty-handed, looking up at the machine that he looked tall and big.

There are a lot of people, and the environment is noisy and noisy to death, a big brother who has just finished playing "Space Invaders", sees the same children watching as the surroundings, and I don't know which tendon is wrong and asks, "Do you want to play too?" ”

"I want to play!" The child said in a firm tone. In fact, from his point of view, the screen was mostly blocked by the console, and the sunlight was a little dazzling, and he couldn't really see what was being displayed on the screen.

However, this unreal screen, as if it had some magical power, deeply attracted this little child who was just over a meter tall.

"Then I'll teach you how to play!" The young man who sat on the high chair, perhaps really nervous, stood up and put the little child on the high chair, demonstrated it a little, and when he died, he threw a coin at the little boy for him to play with.

The child did not seem to have a great talent for playing this game, and the young man was dead in just a minute after he threw in the coin.

The young man picked him up from the high chair again, and then held hands with his girlfriend and smiled, hiding his merit and fame.

After a while, the boy's father came back with a bucket of popcorn in his hand, and when he saw his depressed son, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The little boy didn't speak and stiffened his face, but stretched out his arm and pointed to the arcade.

"You want to play?" Daddy with popcorn asked.

"I want to play!" The little boy nodded firmly.

"Let's play!" Father said.

So, the little boy started playtime.

"Has the lawyer's letter been sent?" Nagasawa asked Shiraishi.

"It's done." Shiraishi replied.

The two of them have seen each other the most in recent times. Under the same sky, doing one thing together, it is impossible to separate it.

"If you want me to say what kind of lawyer's letter to send, wouldn't it be nice to smash those small piracy factories one by one. It's not tiring to go around so many bends. Chang Ze slammed his fist on the table and said with an imposing voice.

Shiraishi looked at Nagasawa's movements and said, "Why are you so violent, now is a society governed by the rule of law." If you have something to say, it's good to say. Besides, isn't it nice to be kind and reasonable, isn't that what our plan is? ”

The plan that Shiraishi said was the video game arcade league. According to Lin Yan, it will eventually absorb many small manufacturers. Become the dominant organization in the field of video games.

In fact, Lin Yan's plan is almost nonsense, after the research of the persimmon family and Dongli. They also find it feasible.

Based on the current state of the project, the market for video game arcades is huge. It's not the persimmon family and Dongli, who can eat it.

Instead of having a few more dangerous enemies, it is better to have more small manufacturers that can be controlled.

"So be it." Nagasawa said, "By the way, how about those two new games?" ”

"The quality is good, it's fun to play, and it looks like it's no less than Space Invaders." Shiraishi said in a more flat tone.

The reason for his tone is that he is not an avid video gamer. The things he thinks about, apart from the game itself, are more of a commercial thing.

There are good and bad things like this, and the bad thing is the lack of love. The good thing is to be more rational and not too biased towards each game.

For him, a game that sells is a good game, and that's it.

"Then what are you waiting for, just make and release it quickly." Nagasawa said excitedly, "That "Space Invaders", I played it for a week, died and died, and I was already a little tired of feeding. Hurry up and launch a new game. ”

"It is estimated that it will take a while, and the potential of Space Invaders is still very large. Now the new game is out. It will have a bad effect on it. Shiraishi said from the perspective of interests.

"Aren't these two games designed to deal with piracy? Is it okay to launch late? Nagasawa asked.

"No problem. The free two-player upgrade has curbed the trend of piracy very well. The number of orders for the "Space Invaders" arcade has also risen to a new level. It seems that we still need it. Workers and assembly lines have been added. ”

Shiraishi answered Nagasawa's question. The position of the two people at the moment is actually in the factory. Shiraishi looked at the production line planned by the designer, and the busy workers said.

He withdrew his gaze and asked Chang Ze, "Who leaked the technical information, did you find it?" ”

"Nope." Nagasawa replied. "I can't find it when I hide it deeply, and the 'angel' who sends information to small factories everywhere has never worked in Persimmon House and Dongli. He's not in Tokyo either. It's like the world has evaporated after sending the information. But it's not like it's not fruitless at all, and we've found something interesting......"

"Just say something." Shiraishi said that in his opinion, Changze's selling off the guan was a waste of time.

"He used to intern in Hell after graduating."

"How long was the internship?"

"It's not a long time, only two months. However, I suspect that the leak of arcade intelligence has something to do with the guy in Ren's hell. ”

"That old fellow......" Shiraishi muttered.

"Our persimmon family must be fine, you don't need to talk about that mess in Dongli, it should be him." Nagasawa said very chicly.

"The two new games will be launched in a hurry, the director has been selected for the shooting of the TV commercial, and the finished product will be almost produced in a week...... "Shiraishi immediately changed his plan and advanced the game that he planned to postpone the release.

"Then I'm relieved that there's a new game to play,...... Nagasawa said relaxedly.

"I'm planning to open a model store, I've already chosen a location, and when the new game is launched, I'll soon finish decorating it, so let's meet you together. Okay, you watch this factory busy, I'm leaving. Something called me ......"

After Nagasawa finished speaking, he stood up and walked away.

Lin Yan, a good student who is serious and hardworking, is very confused today.

Why the confusion, yes. Since two days ago, "Space Invaders" has completed a two-person transformation, and the world in his dream has become two.

This dream has continued since the first day. How to put it, it's like a serial. Lin Yan felt that he could write a serial based on what happened in the dream.

It's just that this kind of serialization won't be interesting, right...... Lin Yan thought of the few guys who were already familiar with the spaceship and the universe, and were idle in the spaceship warehouse playing cards.

"Yanjun, what's wrong with you, your face isn't very good, haven't you rested well?" Mayu by the river looked at Lin Yan who was rubbing his temples and asked. (To be continued.) )
