Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

"It belongs to Mr. Tsuchiya."

"Tsuchiya, I remember his works in recent years haven't been very good."

"Hehe, this one is completely different and very interesting. You'll see when you watch it."

After saying that, the elderly store manager muttered to himself, "I'd also like to try out that video game."

The young man entered the bookstore and soon arrived at the section dedicated to Kasuga magazine.

The latest issue of the magazine has been neatly arranged, waiting for its rightful owner.

The giant dragon and the hero wielding a sword and shield on the cover left a deep impression.

Young people's eyes light up at first sight.

At least the visuals are great; it seems that Tsuchiya-sensei has finally figured it out.

He couldn't wait to tear open the plastic seal and stand there admiring it.

In the comics, the storyline begins with the king asking a hero to save the princess, and then abruptly ends during the battle with the first enemy.

This makes young people feel very uncomfortable.

What happened next? Why did it stop here?

Mr. Tsuchiya, are you even human?

The first episode ends abruptly?

The young man, holding a comic book, returned to the counter.

"How is it? Pretty good, right?"

"It's really good, much better than Tsuchiya-sensei's previous works, but this break is just too painful."

"Doesn't that mean the work has already started to attract people?"

"Hmm...that's true, but manager, have you ever heard of video games?"

Chapter 41 Advice from an Outsider

Nowadays, there is more and more discussion about home entertainment computers.

These topics are being discussed in many places in Tokyo, by both children and adults.

Furthermore, the reputation of Daejeon Casino is growing.

The time has come to the final eight days before the release.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing let out a long sigh of relief at home.

He worked almost non-stop for a month to complete six games.

The six games are Dragon Quest, Contra, Tetris, Bomberman, Gomoku, and Tank Battle.

We initially planned to make five games, but ultimately decided to make six.

The most difficult part was the hero fighting the dragon, which took a full two weeks.

However, it was not easy to produce the later models in such a short time.

Even if you don't need to spend extra time brainstorming, and you only need to follow the path of your previous life, writing code will still take time.

However, it will save him a lot of time in correcting errors and finding bugs.

With this starting lineup, Takeyusei seems to have done justice to the Famicom.

Of course, he still has many works he wants to create, but his time is limited, and these are now representative works of various categories.

"Zhuyou Sang, are you finally done with your work?"

Hayazawa Airi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding two apples in her hands.

"Here, have one. Thank you for your hard work, boss."

"Thank you."

Zhu Youxing took the apple and took a bite, still thinking about the game.

"By the way, boss, that Dragon Quest manga is out. Do you want to take a look?"

"It's already out? Let me see it."

Zhu Youxing also became interested.

"for you."

Hayazawa Airi had clearly prepared all of this for Takeyusei long ago. It seemed that she was becoming more and more skilled at assisting Takeyusei, and she knew what Takeyusei needed without him having to say anything.

Zhu Youxing quickly flipped through the pages, but as he slowed down, his brows furrowed.

"Boss, don't you think it looks good?"

"Emmm... I can't really explain it."

Zhu Youxing likes to read comics, but that doesn't mean he understands the professional aspects of comics. However, from a reader's perspective, this comic can only be described as mediocre.

There's too much text, and the characters seem to be just standing around having a conversation.

There's nothing wrong with that, but after reading those excellent comics from his previous life, he felt that just that wasn't enough.

If this is meant to promote the game's effects, then this comic is merely passable, falling short of his ideal of excellence.

Airi Hayazawa leaned closer, her mouth still full of uneaten apple, her lips slightly bulging, and said indistinctly, "I find it very interesting. The hero is about to begin his official adventure. It's just a pity that this episode of the adventure has already ended. I wish there could be more."

"Hehe, well done, that's a good abrupt ending..."

"what?"

"nothing."

Takeyusei suddenly stood up, and then bumped his head against Hayasawa Airi's with a thud.

"what!"

Zhu Youxing rubbed his head, then turned to ask, "Are you alright?"

"N-nothing...it's okay, I'm still hard." Hayasawa Airi had half an apple in her mouth and covered her forehead with her hands.

"Uh, excuse me, I have something to do and I need to go out for a bit. You can stay at home."

Takeyusei decided to go find Tsuchiya Sansuke.

"Honestly, don't they know how to comfort people?"

Airi Hayazawa was very annoyed.

Forget it, let's just keep optimizing the game console.

Takeyusei left home and drove to the address that editor-in-chief Daigo Ikeda had given him.

Meanwhile, Tsuchiya Sansuke was focused on drawing the content for the second chapter of Dragon Quest, and had already completed one-third of it.

Since he had the main outline of the story, he felt as if his thinking had been suddenly opened up.

Now is the time when inspiration flows freely.

Especially when he learned from the editor today that the initial feedback on the latest issue of Dragon Quest manga was quite good, he felt even more energized.

Everything around me seemed to have stopped mattering.

He gradually entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

He didn't even feel anything when Zhu Youxing came in.

"Tsuchiya-sensei?"

"Tsuchiya-sensei?"

"what!"

Tsuchiya Sansuke was suddenly pulled back to reality by Takeyusei, and was immediately startled.

"Excuse me, Mr. Tsuchiya, did I interrupt your train of thought?"

Takeyusei stood in front of Tsuchiya Sansuke, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"It's Zhu Yousang! What brings you here?"

"It's because of this work."

Takeyusei held the latest issue of the manga magazine and then sat down next to Tsuchiya Sansuke.

"Has Takeyu-san already seen the latest issue of the manga? It's the result of a week's hard work, what do you think?"

Tsuchiya Sansuke looked at the manga magazine in Takeyusei's hand, his eyes sparkling.

He seemed to be waiting for Zhu Youxing's praise.

However, Zhu Youxing only responded with an ambiguous gesture.

"Hmm... how should I put it, it's a little different from what I expected."

"Gap? What gap?"

Tsuchiya Sansuke became puzzled.

The editor-in-chief said this morning that his work this time was very good.

"I just feel I can do better."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchiya Sansuke immediately smiled knowingly.

“Zhu Yousang, I understand what you mean. No work is absolutely perfect. We can always do better, but sometimes it is very difficult to surpass.”

Zhu Youxing listened attentively, then shook his head and said, "No, I have some ideas in my head. I think it might be better to do it this way. Of course, this is just my suggestion."

Tsuchiya Sansuke immediately realized that Takeyusei was planning to instruct an expert when he was an amateur.

This is somewhat of a taboo.

His expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.

“Zhu You-san, in terms of comics, comic artists are definitely more professional.”

If Takeyusei were a manga editor, Tsuchiya Sansuke would listen attentively.
