Chapter 184 Brain: I got it. Hand: You got it?!

"Look! Look! This person is so fast!"

"Wow, how did you do that? Is it even possible to do that?"

A commotion suddenly broke out at the challenge event, leaving people bewildered and unsure of what was happening.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are you all crowding in one place?"

"It seems someone beat the game even faster!"

"What? Go check it out!"

Those who knew the situation rushed in that direction even faster.

Zhu Youxing weaved through the crowd, and when he heard someone clearing the level even faster, he curiously went over to investigate.

When he appeared behind Tomoe Ohno, he had just reached the final level of Super Mario Bros.

In the final level, most players will need to spend at least a few seconds dealing with Bowser.

However, Tomoe Ohno executed a series of fluid maneuvers, perfectly dodging all of Bowser's attacks. Then, she leaped onto the bridge's switch, sending Bowser spectacularly into the lava. The entire process probably took no more than two seconds.

People stared in disbelief at what they were seeing, finding it hard to believe that this was done by humans.

However, Zhu Youxing had long been used to it.

In my past life, there were countless speedrunners with countless speedrunning methods, and looking at Ono Tomoe's final completion timer, which was nine minutes and twelve seconds, it wouldn't have been anything special in my past life.

Some unorthodox speedrun methods can even reduce the time to under five minutes.

But the people around him couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and at this moment, Ono Tomoe was like a king, with countless admiring eyes looking at him.

In the past two days, many people could only see speedrunners squeezing in those few seconds.

But Yue Ohno widened the gap between herself and the current number one by several minutes, which was almost like a dimensional reduction attack.

Wow! You're amazing! How did you do that?

"Master! My teacher! Please let me become your disciple. I want to learn speed running from you!"

Yue Ohno had just finished playing Super Mario Bros. and was planning to get another number to finish Contra Bros., but he was now completely surrounded by people, making it difficult for him to even move.

But at this moment, he was somewhat unable to contain his excitement.

This was a treatment he had never received before.

For many years before, he had been nothing more than a nobody who was glamorously ignored.

But at this moment, he was like a star surrounded by admirers.

My previously low spirits suddenly surged, and I felt as if I had taken some kind of magic potion.

"Um, I'm very sorry, but I have other things to attend to right now, so could you please move aside?"

"Okay, okay! This way, sir!"

People immediately and respectfully made way for them.

At this moment, Ono Tomoe could not hide her excitement.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he returned to the registration point, registered again to receive a Contra number, and then waited patiently for his turn to challenge, surrounded by admirers.

When it was his turn to challenge Contra, many of the challenge machines were temporarily empty, as everyone was intently watching Ono Tomoe's challenge.

Besides watching his superb challenge skills, they also wanted to see if they could learn anything from him.

Then, Tomoe Ohno successfully achieved the fastest speed in Contra at 24 minutes and 8 seconds.

As for the other players, they were bewildered.

There were a few levels that went by so fast that they didn't remember how Ono Tomoe cleared them. How did the BOSS die in the blink of an eye?

Brain: I think I've learned it.

Hand: You've learned nothing.

Among the crowd, Takeyusei thought that Ono Tomoe was a real talent. After observing for a while, he realized that most of the other speedrunners didn't use their brains much. Sometimes they could clear the game quickly the first time, but the second time would be much slower than the first time. This was because they hadn't summarized their experiences.

But Tomoe Ohno absolutely knows the entire game flow by heart.

He could control the timing of jumping, attacking, and dodging with as much precision as possible, down to the second.

This is what video games commonly refer to as memorizing a map. Many speedrun challenges later required such precision down to the second to reach the limit.

This would be great promotional material, and the promotional effect would be even better if this person could win first place in multiple games at the same time.

At this moment, Yue Ohno got up again and went to the registration location once more to register and receive her Tetris number.

Initially, to prevent time conflicts caused by registering for multiple game challenges at the same time, it was finally decided that each person could only register for one game challenge at a time.

"Look! That pro player has signed up for Tetris again. Is he planning to dominate the leaderboards in several games?"

The crowd immediately stirred again; it seemed this challenge area would never be quiet again.

In the end, Tomoe Ohno did not reach his limit in Tetris. He was defeated when he was about to reach speed level 15. He made a slight mistake in his operation, which made many people feel disappointed.

Even so, it's almost impossible for a normal person to do this.

Under the admiring gazes of countless people, Tomoe Ohno quickly left after finishing the Tetris challenge.

He knew that his record from these three challenges should last at least a few more days.

As for him now, he should be thinking about surpassing himself again, instead of looking at some challenge rankings.

After Yue Ohno left, the people at the challenge site were still immersed in the state of being rapidly dominated by Yue Ohno, and it was difficult for them to recover in a short time.

At the same time, many people were also disappointed, feeling that the prize was probably out of their reach.

However, besides the grand prize for first place, receiving some small prizes is also quite nice, since you get a prize just for participating.

These players have finally realized that participation is the most important thing, and winning a ranking is something that only true pros can achieve.

However, they were somewhat relieved that Ono Tomoe did not attempt to challenge Metrorod. In their view, this was quite normal. They were already amazed that one person could dominate the charts in three games. If she dominated all four games, they would probably be in despair.

On the seventh day of the challenge, as expected, Tomoe Ohno dominated first place in all three games, and her position was virtually unshakeable, which was quite terrifying.

The venue that Tomoe Ohno challenged was a video game store in Taitung Ward. Immediately, many people from other districts rushed to Taitung Ward to get first-hand information about Tomoe Ohno, creating a small social craze.

Chapter 185 Meeting the God of Games

The approximately two-week challenge brought significant profits to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Game console sales doubled in the first week of the challenge.

The Famicom sold over 500,000 units in a week, partly due to price reductions. Total sales of the console are about to surpass 7 million.

SFC sales reached three million, while GB sales reached two million four hundred thousand.

GB's upgrade speed is the fastest, and its portability is indeed a super weapon.

Even a typical office worker who has no interest in video games might want to buy one to play a game of Tetris on the go.

The built-in Tetris alone is enough to keep these overworked office workers entertained.

As time goes by, they will inevitably no longer be satisfied with just Tetris and will certainly look forward to playing more games.

As the number one IP of current Star Entertainment, Dragon Quest's first installment sold around four million copies, while Dragon Quest III sold around two million one hundred thousand.

The first film seems to have reached its sales limit, and the growth rate has slowed down rapidly, but there is still potential to be tapped in the third film.

The moves made by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment were naturally not ignored by its competitors.

They didn't need to investigate exactly how many game consoles Yuxing Electronics Entertainment sold in a week; they could get a rough idea just by looking at how busy the stores were.

Even if most of these people are just there to join in the fun.

The various ingenious sales methods from their previous lives certainly opened their eyes.

But without a high-quality game as a foundation, no matter how hard you promote it, you can only fool the first batch of ignorant people. By the second time, few people will believe you.

Many companies are well aware of this, but they haven't dared to follow the marketing strategies of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Following suit, Su Rui Electronics also organized a racing competition.

Currently, the only competitive game on their consoles that can be considered of relatively good quality is this racing game.

This was developed in-house.

To date, no third-party game developer has been willing to release a good game on their consoles.

They still flocked to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, after all, they could make more money there.

In the Extreme Challenge competition, the rankings remained unchanged for the next week, except for those of Midrod.

Tomoe Ohno is really strong, at least by today's standards. He pushes his gameplay limits to the maximum through feedback from various experiences and statistics.

Moreover, after Ono Tomoe took the challenge, he did not appear again for the next week.

It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to disappear; he was simply using this week to prepare for another breakthrough.

He also accepted an invitation from Youxing Electronic Entertainment to participate in a short interview.

The interview was arranged inside the company building of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Early in the morning, Yue Ohno stood in front of the office building where Yusei Electronics Entertainment was located, feeling as if it were still a dream.

At first, he was just a player who wanted to participate in the challenge and win prizes.

But now he seems to have become a celebrity, and has been invited to participate in an interview.

And he had come to the place he had always dreamed of: the office building of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Many players now consider this place a sacred place in their hearts.

The move caused a lot of regret for a long time.

Because unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter the new office building.

Now, he can enter directly without any hindrance.

"Hello, my name is Tomoe Ohno, and I'm heading to Yusei Electronic Entertainment Company."

Upon arriving at the lobby of the office building, he approached the receptionist and explained his purpose.

The front desk is the building's property management service and has nothing to do with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, so you also need to register in advance with them.
