It was another morning, and Lin Yan was standing at the door of the exhibition building. There were not many people waiting to enter at the door, Lin Yan glanced up at the banner he had pulled up, and strode in.

The exhibition doesn't open until nine o'clock, and when you enter it, you will find that there are not many people. It's all staff, and the atmosphere is quite tense. The technicians of each company are doing the final technical adjustment, for fear that there will be some accidents that will lose face when facing the player.

However, most of them are still nervous, and after a little thought, they know that the probability of problems with the arcade machine is not particularly high. The machines sold, under high intensity, or even 24 hours of continuous use, generally only have a small problem in a month. What's more, these are already the best of the best machines in the exhibition.

It soon came to nine o'clock, and the players who had been waiting outside for a long time poured into the venue, and the crowded flow of people instantly brought popularity to the venue and diluted the tense atmosphere.

Haruka Kishimoto stood at the window on the second floor, looking down at the players who rushed into the venue, and the tension in his heart was relieved. Before the opening at nine o'clock, there were more than 500 players waiting outside. Now they are all in the exhibition venue, although not too much. But it also avoids the embarrassing situation of a complete failure of the "Video Game Players Conference" without players.

Lin Yan was wearing a uniform custom-made dress by Yuki Chiba, and each member of the game club had one set, which looked neat and uniform. In conjunction with the exhibition venue, the small signs distributed to each staff member are also a bit professional.

After several issues of "Game Pass" promotion, the "Video Game Players Conference" has indeed attracted many players. Arcades can be played anywhere, but one of the factors that can't be achieved in arcades at this player conference is that arcades don't allow gamers to face the game's developers.

Although not every game developer was present, according to Game Pass, the game developers present accounted for more than 80% of all games.

The remaining 20 percent were not there. Lin Yan contributed a large proportion.

First of all, there are too many games designed by Lin Yan, "Space Invaders", "Bomberman", "Tank Wars", "Arkanoid", "Pac-Man", and the corresponding game sequels.

These games "Space Invaders" are super first-class hits, and the rest of the games. The popularity is also top-notch. What's even more terrifying is that the types of these games are not the same, coupled with the identity of the founder of video games, if Lin Yan stands up. Showing his identity, it is not an exaggeration for him to be crowned the king of the game industry.

However, if that is really the case, Lin Yan's time for freedom will be drastically reduced. It can't be said that I am so tired of living like a star idol. However, even if you go to the arcade to play the arcade for a while, you have to sign a thirty-minute name first, who can stand it.

Lin Yan's current identity has not yet been exposed, but it is a very magical thing. Although, there is a non-disclosure agreement between him and the video game league. There are also video game leagues and employees. However, it is not entirely impossible for people to break contracts for money. Could it be that the Japanese have a very high spirit of contract, so high that it is outrageous?

After the promotion of "Game Pass", the first batch of players who entered the venue, almost everyone had a copy of "Game Pass", referring to the above venue map, and using the fastest speed to find the game maker of their favorite game.

Lin Yan wore a blue uniform and hid among the people in the game club. It's really funny to look at the game developers who are frustrated by the fans who like this game.

People who like video games, especially those who like to do them. In a way, they are not very good at communicating with people. Not to mention that these people are in society, even when they are in school, it is estimated that few of them have been class leaders, grade cadres, or made speeches in front of many people. Everyone is a quiet person. It was quiet and quiet all the time.

Soon, the booth of the game club also welcomed fans who like "Destiny Games". The game club has managed to run the "Destiny Game" for the campus festival, so everyone is not too nervous.

Players ask the creator to sign it, and it is usually Yuki Chiba to sign it. Lin Yan hid his merits and fame, and smiled at every player with a smiling face.

The booth of the game club is different from other booths in that it has a large number of tables and chairs. As Lin Yan expected, these chairs, which were originally free, could perform their functions in an instant. Some players who looked at other booths and felt that there were some players who were unable to do their best, so they sat down and saw if they could wait for less people to queue up. Of course, while waiting, there is no shortage of a game of "Game of Destiny".

This reaction of players is still expected, and the booth not only prepared various versions of "Game of Destiny", but also discounted by 10%, players only need to buy, buy, buy, and play.

Chiba Yuki looked at the seats that were gradually filling up and gave Lin Yan a thumbs up. Business acumen is such a thing, it's really easy to see.

Little Fat Dun didn't see this scene, otherwise his heart would probably be broken again. He was sitting at a table, holding a soft brush, drawing stick figures of the heroes of the Game of Destiny on paper. After he finished drawing, the female "Destiny Game" fan in front of him pointed her finger at the blank space and asked Chubby Dun to write her name, date, and her own name. Then, I carefully took the stick figure and showed it off to my friends.

Of course, this stick figure is not a casual drawing without a threshold, the threshold is very simple, that is, to buy a limited edition "Game of Destiny" at any time in the venue. Well...... Judging from the results, Chubby Dun became a coolie again. It seems that he can't escape the fate of being a coolie.

Lin Yan's job is much simpler, which is to sit in a row for the newcomers. A table can seat six people, and often a group of people is not satisfied. When all the tables were seated, Lin Yan began to arrange for the newcomers to sit together.

Sharing is also an inquiry, often at a table, a few people who don't know each other, after playing a few "games of fate", they can talk and laugh with each other.

That's right, Game of Destiny isn't just a card game, it's also a social tool. Of course, its social function is not as strong as "WeChat" and "Momo" in later generations. can't be so powerful that two people who have never lived before can communicate with each other to the hotel. But in this era, it can be regarded as outstanding.

Although, those mahjong and poker in the chess and card room. It can also serve the same purpose. However, few young people go to the chess and card room to play cards now. Even, there are not many people who play mahjong and poker. Because, these traditional games. It's too old-fashioned, and young people are looking for fashion. It just so happens that Game of Destiny has a sleek shell.

Lin Yan even mentioned a promotional slogan to Chiba Yuki, ""Destiny Game", the first card game for young people. ”

However, Yuki Chiba did not agree. She thinks this slogan is too silly to reflect the charm of "Game of Destiny".

Lin Yan couldn't tell her that this was a very successful slogan used by a rice company in another world.

"Rice phone, the first mobile phone for young people."

"Rice TV, the first TV for young people."

"Rice Apartment, the first apartment for young people."

……

"The rice cemetery, the first graveyard of young people."

Of course, the last sentence was pure ridicule. How could a young man buy a cemetery so quickly. If you want to buy it, you will wait for the brand of rice to grow old together.

"Rice cemetery, the first cemetery of rice noodles, the last destination."

Hayashi's attention was not only on the booth of the game club, but also on the side of the game club's booth, don't forget, he also had a gamble with Katsukuro Yano. Look at the two arcade machines designed by two people, which one is more profitable in the three days of the exhibition.

Lin Yan's eyes looked at the booth of Chiba Games, and his light gun arcade machine was placed at the front of the booth. There are five in a row, neatly placed there. Luckily, video gamers are gamers who love new things. The light gun arcade equipped with the game "Duck Hunting" did not fall into the dilemma of being ignored. It didn't take long for players to notice the gun stuck in the control panel. Then try it.

Of course, the light guns on the console, while eye-catching, are not as conspicuous as the two race cars on the video game league platform.

The car's plain black body was painted a bright red. Then under the order of Katsukuro Yano, it was put on dazzling wax. The lights at the bottom shine on the body, and they simply shine brightly.

This trick is indeed very skillful. Countless players were attracted by the appearance of these two racing arcade machines, and then they saw that it cost 500 yen to play a game, which was not unacceptable, and they were happy to try it.

However, due to the difficulty of the game, players who got on the game, similar to other arcade machines for the first time, didn't last long before getting off the game.

It's like a lollipop opening the package, and before you can tap it with the tip of your tongue, someone takes it away. Although I can taste the sweetness, I really don't know if this lollipop is really delicious and tempting.

Lin Yan's light gun arcade is almost in a similar situation, and there are not many people who can continue to play the game for a long time. Turnover rate height.

However, no player complained that the game was too difficult and the arcade was too expensive. In fact, today's video game arcades are all like this, and it's hard to do it.

Although, arcade makers, don't have a direct profit because of the difficulty of the game. However, arcade owners value this. The machine you have at home can play for two hours for 100 yen per player, which no arcade owner is happy about.

It's best for players to die in a second, and they have to play non-stop, and this kind of arcade game is the arcade boss's favorite.

After the number of arcade games increased, the arcade owners also suffered a lot of losses. Some arcade machines can make players die quickly, but players have no interest in continuing to pay for the challenge, such game arcades, in the eyes of arcade bosses, are garbage, except to occupy space, there is no other use.

In fact, if you are careful, you can also find from the endless crowd of "video game gamers" that he is wearing a gold chain and holding a small bag in his armpit, and he does not look like a middle-aged player. These middle-aged people, indeed, are not players, they are more arcade owners.

They weren't much interested in video game arcades per se, what really interested them was the lucrative business of video game arcades.

They walked through the venue, stopping to watch from time to time, and then jot down which arcade machines were most popular. Once you see the model, you will negotiate with the arcade developers.

This is the second use of the "video gamer conference" in addition to being attractive to players. It is to let the owners of the arcade hall know which game is popular, and it is no longer a matter of entering the arcade with a black eye and luck. It's good for both arcade owners and arcade makers, and it's a win-win situation.

Lin Yan naturally noticed these people as well, and he saw a lot of such people, either standing in front of the light gun arcade machine and meditating, or standing in front of the racing arcade machine and pondering, they may be thinking about whether to introduce these new gadgets.

The two arcade machines, the light gun arcade and the racing arcade, have dedicated people in charge of statistics. In fact, the people in charge of statistics are divided into several groups, namely the people of "Game Pass", the people who supervise each other in Chiba Games and the Video Game Alliance, and the people who open the market.

All parties have their interests, and having so many pairs of eyes to watch basically ensures the authenticity of the results.

A few hours later, Hayashi approached Haruka Kishimoto and asked her to print a batch of brochures for arcade hall owners, with the quotation for each arcade machine printed on it, and the organizer of the "Video Gamer Convention" acted as an intermediary to serve the producers and arcade owners.

This intermediary service is not free, although it is charged, but the fee is fair and reasonable, just a cost fee. After Haruka Kishimoto sent someone to contact the person in charge of each booth, the person in charge of the booth basically agreed.

Because, directly facing the buyers, they are still very stressed. Now is not the usual time, everyone can sit down and talk about the price calmly. This is an exhibition, if your price is not satisfied, he will not buy you, go to another one. However, the price can't be too low. If you are low, he is also low, everyone enters vicious competition, and everyone's profits are low, which is not a good thing.

And the advantage of the price book and the organizer's intermediary is that the price is fixed, the album is there, and you can buy which one you like, everyone is on the same starting line, who to buy, it depends on the quality of each arcade.

Some time passed in the afternoon, and when the first batch of 1,000 arcade manuals came out, they sold out instantly.

Not only did the middle-aged gold chain uncle buy it, but the players also bought it, which Lin Yan didn't expect. (To be continued.) )
