You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 394: A Date for Two in Downtown Tokyo (2 in 1 Order)

As the words gradually faded, the entire venue fell into a silent darkness. Tens of thousands of eyes, without exception, stared at the giant screen, filled with anticipation and doubt.

In this eerie atmosphere, a familiar opening scene suddenly emerged. That iconic eye emblem, that deep male voice narration.
"This is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! It all starts with this card."

"Huh? Isn't this the promotional video for that old theatrical version?" Whispers and mocking snorts suddenly broke out from the audience.

But soon, people were shocked.

Because as the camera turned, their familiar worldview changed drastically!
The originally rustic and ancient game town has now transformed into a magnificent modern metropolis; the well-dressed pedestrians look enchanting and coquettish; and the group of passionate young duelists have now shed their immaturity and transformed into suave gigolos.

"What the hell is this?" The scene suddenly exploded.

But something even more unexpected was yet to come. At that moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the scene—Seto Kaiba. However, he was no longer the young man he had been, but a valiant and imposing man in his prime.

Even more astonishing was the fact that Seto Kaiba was now dressed in a dapper, fresh-faced outfit. He was wearing a well-cut blue tight-fitting suit, his muscular figure bulging, outlining the handsome figure of a mature man.

Her torso was studded with dazzling diamonds, gleaming brightly under the light. Her lower body was covered in tight black leather pants, showcasing the curves of her legs. Beneath them were a pair of gleaming patent leather boots, their wedge heels reaching over ten centimeters high, creating a particularly majestic impact when they struck the ground.

"I'm back, Baby!"

Seto Kaiba suddenly turned around, raised his eyebrows, threw a coquettish glance at the camera, and uttered this extremely explicit line.

The venue erupted in exclamations and whistles! It was hard to believe that the arrogant Kaiba Seto would display such a coquettish expression.

But the more shocking thing is yet to come. Because immediately afterwards, the former protagonist team began to appear collectively:
The black-haired magician, the wandering seducer from a foreign land. Though their attire varied, they were all modern, avant-garde, and dazzlingly gorgeous. Even their figures had become incredibly tall and majestic. In particular, some characters who were originally slender and petite had become even more slender and curvaceous, with alluring and alluring figures.

Not only that, even their cards have undergone earth-shattering changes. The tall and bulky mechanical creatures have been reshaped into slender and graceful; the originally petite and cute mythical beast-type monsters have now become mature and sexy beauties.

The scene was instantly plunged into a state of shock. People simply couldn't recognize what was happening before their eyes!

Just as this strange atmosphere reached its peak, a line of eye-catching subtitles finally emerged:

"Yu-Gi-Oh! Lightspeed Duel" sexy legendary remake will be launched with the strongest card deck in the world!
Sexy awakening, heroic cartoons are all the rage on the battlefield!

The video abruptly ended, and the venue returned to darkness. At that moment, a deathly silence enveloped the entire exhibition hall. Everyone was completely stunned by what they saw.

Until someone broke the silence with a trembling voice:

"What on earth was I looking at just now?"

"Exactly, is this Yu-Gi-Oh!?! What kind of ridiculous development is this?"

"God, this is a sexy awakening!"

"I think it's pretty good. At least it's more innovative than before."

A heated discussion and questioning gradually brewed among the crowd.

……

At this time, at the Longteng Group's booth, facing the popularity of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card", Pei Shengnan felt a little fortunate.

Because this game does not currently constitute a direct competitive relationship with Longteng Group, the two parties are not on the same track at all.

However, the growing popularity made Pei Shengnan uneasy.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bustling Taoyuan Township booth.

The light poured down, casting a hazy glow on the booth.

In front of the trial booth, players, sitting or standing, stared intently at the screen in front of them, with focused and serious expressions on their faces.

Their fingers flew across the shiny duel disk with a show of skill, moving the cards back and forth across the disk.

Even more eye-catching were the players gathered around. They leaned forward, crowded around the tiny booth, and watched every move unfold with awe, as if it were a treasure. Some were eager to try, wishing they could try themselves; others displayed exaggerated reactions, accompanied by enthusiastic applause and explosive cheers.

Pei Shengnan couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling his mouth dry. He had to admit that his confidence just now might have underestimated the momentum.

We must be careful in dealing with Taoyuan Township...

……

The first day of the Tokyo Game Show's open day finally ended without any major incidents.

At this time, Liu Mengyuan, who is responsible for various matters at the Taoyuan Township booth, has been in a heavy mood recently.

Although their own masterpiece "Taoyuanxiang Battle Card" received a warm response at the video game exhibition, it also attracted many competitors. Card game giants such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh seemed to have also set their sights on their sudden dark horse and were plotting various counterattacks.

Faced with the huge gap in funding, manpower and other aspects, Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but worry about the prospects of this exhibition.

Just as she was frowning, the phone rang.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yu's voice was like a breeze in midsummer, instantly blowing away the haze in her heart.

"Why are you working alone again? Don't get too tired!"

Lu Yu's magnetic voice sounded on the phone, making Liu Mengyuan's heart tremble.

But she still said: "It's because you left early, you don't know how much we..."

Before she could utter the word "hot", she was interrupted by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu knew that no one would be interested in Taoyuan Township's booth, so he consoled them:

"I went to check it out in advance."

"Which spot?"

"Come out with me tomorrow to relax and have a date for two in downtown Tokyo!"

……

Early the next morning, the two arrived at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

Sunlight bathes the lush greenery, imbuing the entire imperial garden with a vibrant atmosphere. The air is thick with the fragrance of flowers, lingering with an intoxicating aroma. The blossoming cherry blossoms, like clouds and mist, shroud the surrounding landscape, shimmering with the shadows of butterflies occasionally flitting through the trees, creating a glimpse into a paradise.

Lu Yu naturally put his arm around Liu Mengyuan's slender waist, and the two walked side by side.

Liu Mengyuan's winding skirt danced in the air, and her graceful and elegant demeanor was in perfect harmony with the solemn atmosphere of this pavilion.

She tilted her delicate face and gave Lu Yu a bright and charming smile. Her dimples and laugh lines at the corners of her eyes were faintly visible on her skin, and she looked dignified yet playful.

Lu Yu gazed longingly at the beautiful face of his beloved. A delicate cherry blossom hairpin was pinned to Liu Mengyuan's hair, and occasionally a few graceful petals fluttered lightly, which Lu Yu gently rubbed away with his fingers.

The passers-by around were stunned.

I'm Chao, what kind of God-chosen couple is this?
"Yuanyuan, you've been worrying about the company's affairs recently, and you've always been alone." Lu Yu put his arms around Liu Mengyuan's slender waist, his tone gentle and doting.
"Why not relax today and forget all your worries!"

Lu Yu was telling the truth. His company's mission was to combat internal competition. If his girlfriend turned out to be the most competitive, then what would that mean?

Liu Mengyuan was stunned when he heard this.

She smiled, snuggled in Lu Yu's arms and nodded slightly.

Lu Yu rubbed Liu Mengyuan's little head and continued to comfort him:
"Actually... I've said it from the beginning. Enjoying life is the most important thing. For many things, haste makes waste..."

Liu Mengyuan's eyes accidentally swept across the garden chess and card area nearby.

Not far away, a group of old men sitting around a low table were sipping tea with relish, placing pieces on the chessboard one after another, and thinking with their chins in their hands, looking extremely comfortable.

Liu Mengyuan suddenly had an idea in his mind!
Yes, more haste makes waste, draw inspiration from life!
It suddenly occurred to her that the selling point of her own game was a similar chess and card experience.
Why not set up such an interactive experience area at the exhibition site, allowing players to personally experience the charm of duel disks and physical cards?

Is it possible to inspire the pure joy behind the game like these old people?
In this way, a brilliant idea to deal with competitors gradually took shape in Liu Mengyuan's mind.

"Thank you! I understand!" she said excitedly.

Lu Yu was confused. He didn't understand why this girl suddenly thanked him, and what she understood?

But... never mind, at least I can make her happy.

Afterwards, the two went to the intersection in front of Shibuya 109.

This trendy street, renowned throughout Tokyo, is a gathering place for young people from all over the world. Some wear unique, avant-garde clothing, some dye their hair in unusual colors, and some even paint their faces with exaggerated stylings. The atmosphere on the street is dazzling.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
“Young people nowadays are really crazy.”

Liu Mengyuan rolled her eyes at him: "You talk as if we are very old."

Lu Yu quickly coughed and said:

"But even with that makeup on, you're still charming in my eyes."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Mengyuan had already elbowed him hard and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't know how to wear that kind of makeup."

She couldn't help but reveal a faint blush on her face.

Just as the two were being affectionate with each other, a deafening burst of rock and heavy metal music suddenly rang out on the streets of Shibuya.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of young people performing on the street not far away.

One of them was even wearing a suit of armor and waving an electric guitar wildly with both hands. He looked like a heavy metal warrior.

Liu Mengyuan couldn't help being infected by this weird atmosphere and couldn't help giggling.

Lu Yu glanced at her sideways, and there was an innocent smile in her eyes, which made Lu Yu happy.

My girlfriend Liu Mengyuan is enjoying a trip to downtown Tokyo. She's in a good mood and gets a critical hit. Leisure Points +180.

On this date, the two of them have earned thousands of leisure points.

He felt that he should take his girlfriend out for walks more often in the future. Why bother working? Life should be spent strolling around the streets every day.

However, at this moment, Liu Mengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea flashed through his mind -

Why not create a limited run of game-inspired clothing and artifacts for the show?
This way, we can bring the passionate and indulgent youthful atmosphere of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card" to players, allowing them to immerse themselves in the personalized gaming experience! I believe it will definitely attract a lot of popularity.

And all this must be one of the reasons why Lu Yu brought her here!

It turned out that he was using the excuse of a date to help himself solve a work problem!

The look she gave Lu Yu was even more admiring.

Afterwards, they came to Ueno Park.

Not far away in the square in front of the park gate, a cosplay competition is in full swing.

On the stage, cosplayers dressed in all kinds of strange costumes posed freely under the spotlight, drawing wild cheers from the audience.

Not far away, there is an open lawn where several young people are using remote controls to control strange-looking mini fighter planes, sometimes circling at low altitudes, sometimes accelerating and rushing diagonally, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere, and his eyes lit up.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows knowingly, nudged her shoulder with his elbow, and said meaningfully, "Do you want to buy a COS costume too? I'll take a picture of you."

"Um……"

Liu Mengyuan responded, but his eyes never left the battlefield where the remote-controlled aircraft was.

She muttered to herself, thinking, "If that's the case, why don't we hold a large-scale dueling tournament at the exhibition? Let game fans from all over the world gather together and compete here?"

As she thought about it, her spirits grew higher and higher, and she danced with her hands and feet in several dueling gestures.

Lu Yu was amused by her enthusiastic appearance. He turned his head and whispered a few words in her ear: "If you want to duel with me, I can accompany you anytime..."

After hearing this, Liu Mengyuan's cheeks immediately turned red, and she hit him coquettishly.

They walked side by side along the tree-lined path, hand in hand, fingers intertwined. The sunlight was warm and elegant, and the air was filled with the faint scent of wood. Liu Mengyuan leaned on Lu Yu's shoulder.

She whispered, "How should I put it... Honestly, it feels so good to have you by my side. It was like this in my sophomore year in the Game Research Club, and it's still like this now that we're starting a business together..."

Lu Yu smiled slightly, twisted her hair with his fingers, and said in a gentle and doting tone: "What are you talking about thank you or not? This will be our daily life from now on."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

You should stop being obsessed with work, Lu Yu thought.

You really care about my work, Liu Mengyuan thought.

Passersby were all amazed: Wow, they are showing off their affection so much that I can hardly open my eyes.

Liu Mengyuan is full of confidence in the future of "Taoyuan Township Battle Card".

My boyfriend is so awesome, who among you can beat him?
