Chapter Ninety-Five: Is the World Endless?

No matter which city or street, it has its own flavor. The taste of Akihabara has changed a bit lately, thanks to Hayashihiko, video game arcades are lined up on both sides of the street, and the players who come here can be described as "Uyang Uyang".

There are even many white-skinned foreigners in the crowd, and as for those foreigners who are also yellow-skinned and can't be seen without speaking, they are not as conspicuous as these white-skinned people.

In Akihabara, there are not only many arcades on both sides of the street, but there are also several arcade halls dedicated to them. In the arcade where Lin Yan always went, there was a child who stepped on a bench and played a game meticulously.

"Who is this? Who has seen it? A stunned onlooker asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it...... I've never heard of a kid playing so well before. The onlookers next to him replied regardless of whether they knew each other or not.

"Heroes out of boys......"

"yes, yes, I don't know how to compare with 'Ellucro'."

"It must be 'Ai Lu Crooked' who is powerful, no matter how powerful he is, not all of them are children." A hardcore Lin Yan fan, said.

"Not necessarily, I think this kid is also very good at playing, maybe even 'Ai Lu Crooked' can't compare to him."

"Then how can it be, have you ever seen 'Alucro' playing a game?" Die-hard fans generally support a person for no reason, and to put it bluntly, they are a bit brainless. As soon as he saw that someone said that "Elluk was crooked", his words immediately became aggressive.

"I've been here for a month, so I haven't seen it. Don't be in a hurry to take a look first, maybe 'Ellu'......" Before he could finish his sentence, he kept his mouth shut. Because, many onlookers around him have already glared at him angrily. Maybe he said a few more words, and he was beaten up by this group of people. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, this truth is understood by everyone.

……

The kid is not Japanese, he is Taiwanese. He is the legendary child Che Zhuojun who is in the Taiwanese video game arcade industry.

In Taiwan's game industry, he is already in the realm of being alone and seeking defeat. From the first arcade machine appeared in Taiwan, to now thousands of arcade machines are blooming everywhere in Taiwan, and still no one has shaken his position. In the eyes of Taiwanese video game players, he is a living legend.

He has classes in the morning during the day, and only appears in the Phantom Arcade in the afternoon. And every afternoon, many video gamers from all over Taiwan challenge him.

For these challengers, it seems that losing to a small kid is not a shameful thing. Even whoever is in his hands, holding on for a few more minutes, has become a very worthy thing to boast about and praise each other. I don't know if they were too thick-skinned, or if they had failed again and again and evolved into a creature called an ostrich.

It's like the player's mount in Bird Knight, which just recently appeared.

Speaking of the game "Bird Knight", after a short period of brewing, it has been successfully hatched and has received a lot of orders. Just like in this arcade hall, there is a "Bird Knight", and there are many people playing it. The boss still wants to buy another one, but unfortunately, the order is too long, and if you order it now, it will basically take two months to get it. However, two months later, who knew that this arcade game would not be popular anymore.

Anyway, there is no shortage of arcade machines in the arcade hall, on the contrary, there are very few vacant seats, and there are no more arcade machines. Therefore, he was more conservative and did not order again. As for how this "Bird Knight" came to be a little bit of a bit of a piece inside. That's the benefit of opening an arcade in Akihabara. Almost every day, there is a small team, and the small company shows off the arcade machines made by their team on the street outside. At this time, as long as you look at which game console has the potential to be hot, you can go directly to negotiate a contract with them. It is considered to be the first month near the water, and you can drink the first sip of soup.

However, lately, such opportunities seem to be becoming less and less. Because, a new profession has appeared in Akihabara. The gangsters who used to have nothing to do on the streets have been transformed into people who record all kinds of arcade information and gameplay. They released the information they had recorded through a mess of channels, and the owners of arcade halls in other places, or the owners of ordinary grocery stores, ordered the latest arcade machines through them.

In the past few days, it has even evolved into a new state. It's these former gangsters who originally got arcade information. Seeing a new arcade machine on the street, I don't want to see if the game is fun, so I can order at least ten or more than 100 units.

Maybe it's because arcades are really selling well now, whether it's a good game or a bad game, it's easy to sell.

Because of this, the small team that originally lacked funds to develop arcade games because of the thrift and lack of funds has had a much better life. It's just that I don't know how long it will take for these small teams in Akihabara to hatch a real big developer, or a developer giant.

After Lin Yan handed over the drawings of the home machine to Yuki Chiba, he didn't go out to play around. Instead, I wrote my summer homework at home and read a book. It's quite a bit of self-cultivation.

Although he has given a complete set of drawings, it is estimated that it will take a long time to see a real home game console that can run. Because, many of the parts need to be customized. It is also a time-consuming thing for relevant manufacturers to make customized parts that meet the requirements.

However, there should not be much difficulty, because although there is still a lot of gap between Japan's semiconductor industry and the United States, it is also a rare high-tech country in the world. There are many countries in the world that can only export beef cattle.

……

In the arcade hall, the four heavenly kings were defeated one by one, and the child Che Zhuojun standing on the bench was not tired at all. Not even too many expressions on the face. The so-called Four Heavenly Kings, in his eyes, are actually not too good. At least, they played very roughly, and there were a lot of details in the game, I don't know if they didn't use it, or they didn't notice it at all, or they didn't use the ropeway-related skills at all.

Lacking the pursuit of these small details and skills, the Four Heavenly Kings quickly lost. They are also convinced to lose the price, just like they lost to Lin Yan at the beginning.

However, the feeling that Lin Yan and this little child gave them was really not very different. Lin Yan's feeling was more of a heavy sword without a blade, while the Che Zhuojun in front of him, who still needed to step on a stool, was much sharper, like a sword that had just been baked.

Cha Zhuojun is not the kind of person who particularly cares about how others treat him, he is silent. But he was not silent to let others see that he had a master's demeanor, his hands were very steady, and he did not deliberately speed up his hands because there were onlookers, or play any tricks to show off his skills. He played at his own pace.

Speaking of this, it seems that Lin Yan, who has done showmanship, is a step worse than this child. The children started at 8 a.m. and continued to play until 6 p.m. before leaving the arcade. The people who challenged him here all lost without exception. Many people pinned their hopes on "Ai Lu Crooked", but Lin Yan was doing his homework at home at the moment and didn't come out to play games for a day. To put it bluntly, he likes video games, but not to the point of being obsessed with it, he has to play the best, and if he doesn't have to play, he may think about it, but it won't get to the point of scratching his heart and liver, and going crazy.

Since Ke Mingxiong's arcade machine landed in Hong Kong from Taiwan, countless businessmen in Hong Kong have taken a fancy to the new way of making money by video game arcades.

However, Hong Kong is home to 70 percent of the world's toys and low-quality electronic watches, but it has never been a place with top R&D capabilities.

Although there are high-end electronic talents who chase capital from Europe and the United States and come to Hong Kong. However, a few years after the high-end leaves the R&D center, the knowledge structure will also lag behind to a considerable extent. When it comes to video game arcades, they struggle with all their might, and they don't have the ability to decipher the programs of video game machines. In the easiest way possible, "copy" these video game arcade machines. In the end, it seems that the only way to develop the motherboard and develop the game program is to develop the motherboard by yourself.

So far, many Hong Kong businessmen who were originally ready to move have retreated. Let them be able to imitate toys without infringement, they can do it, let them develop it, that is really difficult for them.

In so many factories, the R&D personnel, most of the time, do not develop products again, but decipher other people's products, and then change other people's products into their own products.

For example, the steering wheel of a toy car, other people's houses are smooth, and they can have some dots on it, which can not only be non-slip, but also not so easy to infringe on other people's property rights.

There are countless toys that are generally the same in Hong Kong, and even those engaged in this industry cannot figure out who copied whom. It's a complete mess of porridge.

Finally, there are some more well-known bosses. found Ke Mingxiong, and they formed a cooperative relationship. Just like when Boss Kagawa and Ke Mingxiong cooperated, they were fine. This time, it was Ke Mingxiong who produced the video game substrate, and the boss in Hong Kong was responsible for the onshore assembly.

This not only solves the problem of insufficient production capacity of Ke Mingxiong, but also reduces the cost of intermediate logistics, and successfully expands its influence in Hong Kong. It's a multi-tasking thing. When Ke Mingxiong carefully understood the situation in Hong Kong, he had the intention of forming a big alliance in Hong Kong to unify the large and small high-end and low-end factories in Hong Kong, so that they could produce arcade machines for themselves. Then, even if it can't be exported to the U.S. market. If there is not Canada, which is also in North America, and the developed countries in Europe, it is really not possible, and Southeast Asia, and the mainland, which has just opened up to the outside world.

The earth is so big that there are markets everywhere. Maybe these machines will be sold in Africa.

Unlike the popularity of video game arcades, Destiny Games today has the devastating momentum of video games. "Game of Destiny" has been popular for a while, and now it is relatively stable. Basically, the daily sales can be predicted, and generally the players put the original cards, play badly, and play badly, before buying new cards for clothes.

Of course, due to the collection attribute of "Game of Destiny", there are also many players who buy box after box just to collect all the heroes.

And the sales of crispy noodles are also very good, because the main customer groups they face are relatively young elementary school students.

Older kids are now thinking about playing video games in arcades. Because, this kind of game that can control the tasks on the TV, looks cool.

Perhaps, this is the reason why "Game of Destiny" is not as popular as video games, no matter how fun and interesting it is, it is just a card game, and it doesn't look cool at all.

Lin Yan doesn't have too many worries about this, just like the name of "Destiny Game", no matter what it is, it has his lifespan, his life cycle, and "Destiny Game" has just gone through the growth period, and there is still a long way to go. At least, when today's primary school students grow up, they can still sell a wave of feelings.

In fact, there are quite a few products that have done this. No matter how good or bad the quality of the product itself is, there are children who have grown up to buy it. Because, in fact, what they buy is not this thing, but the childhood represented behind this thing, and what they buy is a kind of feeling.

There are not many summer vacation homework, but it is not difficult to say that it is difficult, Lin Yan got up early, did not waste too much time, and wrote seriously for a day, and basically finished writing. He wrote quite carefully, because he was determined to be a good student and then get into a better university.

Because, he feels that each university is like a platform, and on different levels of platforms, you will meet people of different levels. And the people in high-level universities are basically at a higher level. Whether it is everyone's knowledge level, family background, or vision, it will be much higher.

Lin Yan plans to experience life, he doesn't want to miss his studies, and directly runs an industry related to video games for the rest of his life. Or, in the city, he stayed in the repair shop at home, as a sweeping monk-like figure.

He has been in this world for so long, even if he didn't have any ideas before, after living for so long, he has ideas. He wanted to get out of Tokyo, out of Japan, and see all over the world. Look at the world, it's really a real world.

Or like the few short science fiction stories he wrote, it's a not-so-real world.

Is there an end to the world? Lin Yan thought. (To be continued.) )
