Chapter 191: Super Contra
What Sam and his father, Kevin Flynn, call a "secret base" is actually a former studio of Kevin Flynn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kevin Flynn, who was widowed at an early age, did not choose to continue the strings, but fostered Sam with his parents, Sam's grandparents. He himself goes to work in the studio every day, and is sometimes so busy that he stays there even at night. But whenever he had time, he would go to his parents' house and tell Sam stories. Sometimes he would also take Sam to his studio to play. However, 70% of the area of dozens of square meters is divided into Sam's game room and study room, even if Sam only comes once in a while. There are more than a dozen different arcade machines, with frames and machine plates, the ones that are as large as refrigerators, as well as a desk and a bookshelf. And the remaining 30% is where Kevin once worked.
It was in that 30% that Kevin Flynn gradually made a name for himself in the industry, and then was hired as CEO and chief technician by Yingkang with a generous salary of shares and remuneration. It's a little different from what Zorro remembers. In Zorro's memories of the movie from his past life, Kevin Flynn was the founder of Incon, Inc., Inc., the premier company, and his son Sam was in his teens when he disappeared. And in this world, in addition to Kevin being hired, Yingkang is far from being powerful, and Sam was 17 years old when Kevin disappeared.
That's not the point, though. The point is that Sam searched the entire studio - 70% and 30% of them several times, but they couldn't find any secret rooms.
"Could it not be here?" Frantically looking for a good opportunity, Sam was very frustrated, "Will it be ...... There's no secret room at all, my father is just really dead......"
"No, there must be a place! After all, Yingkang has confirmed that there is no one or even any trace in the office area of the project team led by your father, which means that there must be a place outside the company building, at least one, that is set by your father as a portal between virtual and reality. "Zorro was absolutely clear, and he had good reasons." As for whether it will not be here...... Probably not. The passage that your father left behind clearly indicates that this is the place, unless this is your secret base, as you say. ”
Sam also replied with certainty: "This is the secret base!" ”
Zorro nodded: "Then it must be here." There's probably a corner we haven't noticed, or there's something we haven't thought of yet. Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of a possibility. There are so many arcades here, lad, which one do you like best? ”
Zorro suddenly steadied here, leaving Sam stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, he still recalled for a while and replied: "In the beginning, I liked to play the one on Adventure Island. It's a pity that because I was too young at that time, I didn't play much. Later I became obsessed with Super Contra. Actually, there were already a lot of computer games at the time, but I still liked the Super Contra style. There are also several times because I am too addicted, I stay here all day and all day, and even spend all my pocket money in order to exchange for game currency. That was a long time ago, though......"
At this point, memories flooded back, and he became sad again.
It's really sentimental...... Hmm, little brat. Also, Kevin Flynn played arcade games for his son and collected his son's pocket money, and Zorro was also drunk when he heard it. Maybe this is another way of educating children at Harvard Stanford?
"Okay, you go and clear Super Contra once now." Zorro said calmly.
Sam was stunned again, then looked at Zorro in disbelief: "You mean ......"
"No, I didn't." Zorro was offended, "But I do think so." ”
Pull down the power switch, and the studio, which hasn't been visited for years, is still in good condition. Electric lights, air conditioners, printers, and everything can work, and the dozen or so arcade machines are no exception.
Sam took a deep breath and sat down in front of the Super Contra arcade.
"Uh, I don't have a coin ......"
Zorro rolled his eyes. Naturally, he didn't have any coins with him. In the words of a certain Bei Jia, going out with money will affect the line of the combat uniform......
I went straight to Kevin Flynn's desk, and sure enough, I found dozens of coins. Then, Sam embarks on his first Super Contra journey after many years.
Then Zorro was Sparta. It's true that Sam was defined by "bear kid" and "little brat" before, this guy is a cheat dad - a cheat dad in the truest sense of the word. He used up all three lives within two minutes of the game!
Your father doesn't know if he is alive or dead, so it's up to you to clear the customs and enter the next stage of the search! Isn't it a cheat for you to waste your time like this?!
Sam then threw in a dozen more coins, and the result was progressive, but unfortunately the farthest time he walked only lasted about a minute or so. And this is still when he only wants to survive and not progress.
"Are you sure you really spent almost all of your pocket money on this arcade machine?" Zorro asked Sam helplessly.
Sam's face was about to smoke when he was already as red as a tomato: "Isn't it like I haven't played in many years!" I was back then, but I almost cleared the customs......"
"Almost? How much is this point? ”
"Two or three, I can't remember clearly."
"2 to 3, are you sure?"
“…… I thought about it for a while, it seems to be five levels......"
"Hehe, two plus three is five. Did you just say that you hit the second or third level? After all, there are only eight levels in total, and eight minus five is three! ”
Zorro picked Sam up from his position and made it himself in front of the arcade. At this point, only the last coin remained. If Sam is left to waste it, the next thing is to dismantle the machine and take the coins out again. And then maybe seven or eight cycles, after a few hundred attempts, Sam can go back to where he was at the beginning?
Exempt.
As far as Zorro knows, Super Contra's solo clearance record seems to be more than 11 minutes. But that's the record of a normal person. Replaced by Zorro, an abnormal person, it only took him nine minutes to clear all eight levels of the game. This is because he is not very familiar with the game, and it took him some time to figure it out.
Sam to the explosion.
"It's all right, lad, it's talent. Everyone has their own areas that they are not good at......"
Zorro's insincere reassuring words didn't work as well as they should. And as the last boss in the game fell, there was a sudden "boom", and the floor around this arcade machine of about three square meters suddenly began to sink slowly.
Sure enough, as Zorro guessed, as long as Sam's favorite Super Contra was cleared, the secret door to the secret room would appear. Speaking of which, Kevin Flynn is obviously overestimating his son's ability in this regard!
