Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

The next day, the carnival featured several specially choreographed stage plays.

Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy are all role-playing games with very rich storylines.

These types of games are usually the most suitable for stage adaptations.

Besides stage plays, the next most popular event is cosplay exhibitions.

Many professionals and non-professionals will perform on stage, and then Youxing Electronic Entertainment will select the best cosplay contestants and award them prizes to recognize their activities.

A small, unexpected situation arose during this process.

A young and handsome cosplayer dressed up as Cloud, and after his performance, he walked up to his cosplayer who was playing Tifa, knelt down on one knee on the stage, and proposed to her.

This shocked and stunned everyone for a long time.

It took me a while to realize that this wasn't a script from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, but something that was actually happening.

The girl playing Tifa was also utterly shocked, covering her mouth as she stared at 'Cloud' kneeling on one knee.

"Damn it, Cloud! Your true love is Aerith! Get up right now, don't propose to Tifa!"

Someone below the stage shouted excitedly.

It's obvious that this person is a fan of the Claude and Aerith pairing.

His eyes welled up with tears when he saw this scene.

Cloud actually proposed to Tifa? Is there any justice in this world?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Cloud's true love is definitely Tifa! Cloud is great! Tifa, say yes to him!"

Since there are fans who ship Cloud and Aerith, there will naturally be fans who ship Cloud and Tifa.

The two sides immediately started arguing offstage.

One person was trying to persuade the person on stage to agree, while the other was trying to persuade the person on stage not to agree. It was quite a lively scene.

This unexpected situation clearly left the host of the event stunned for quite some time.

However, he was still very well-mannered; he immediately burst into tears and started clapping.

"Fellow adventurers, this is a genuine marriage proposal, not just for the sake of the character. Putting aside the character aspect, shouldn't we congratulate the two of you?"

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that statement.

Bringing the game's plot into reality and forcing the two characters to do something does seem a bit unreasonable.

Then the host walked between the two of them, and he first glanced at the girl who was still covering her mouth in shock.

"Beautiful lady, would you like to ask if you will accept this gentleman's marriage proposal?"

"me……"

The girl cosplaying as Tifa blushed deeply; she was genuinely shy, but also deeply moved.

Since the two had been childhood sweethearts for over a decade, their relationship was practically a done deal.

The parents of both sides have even met.

This proposal in front of everyone was truly a very brave thing for the man.

"Haruko, I've sworn to marry you since I was little. You've been by my side all these years, and our relationship has only grown stronger since video games came along. We've developed a shared passion for each other, and I've decided to love you forever. I also feel like I should do something big to make everyone acknowledge our relationship. So, will you say yes?"

After saying that, the male cosplayer took a box out of his pocket.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would immediately understand what was in that box.

At this moment, those who were arguing about the pairings of the game characters stopped arguing.

They all looked at the two on the stage with a hint of blessing in their eyes.

Most people ultimately prefer to see beautiful things.

Especially in a marriage proposal scenario like this.

At this moment, most of them were genuinely wishing the two of them well.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the girl happily accepted his marriage proposal.

For both of them, this was just the final step in breaking the ice. In fact, even without the proposal, their relationship would have reached that point anyway.

But for both of them now, this proposal must be a very memorable one.

"Waaah, so touching."

In the crowd, a girl's nose tingled and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

"Alright, alright, Hemei, no need to be so emotional. We all live in an all-girls school, so forget about dating unless we go to university. Right now, let's focus on how to develop a fun game."

Beside her, Aiko kept patting her friend's shoulder to comfort Kazumi.

However, Aiko's eyes were slightly red at the moment.

While it can't be said that all girls admire this kind of confession ceremony, both Kazumi and Aiko were genuinely moved when they saw this scene.

Kazumi is more emotional, so she shed tears, while Aiko was relatively better able to control herself.

As for Yin-chan standing to the side...

She was completely indifferent to that; all she could think about right now was how to develop the game.

Once she's committed to something, nothing can sway her.

This unexpected marriage proposal was incredibly heartwarming, adding a touch of sweet romance to the already lively carnival.

"Ah, what a beautiful story. Why have I never met a woman like that? None of the women around me like playing games."

In the crowd, a man shook his head with a regretful expression.

Those around him chimed in, "Who says otherwise? I don't have a girl like that around me either. I really envy that guy on stage. He married Tifa. Is there anything happier than that?"

Even after the proposal ceremony ended, people kept talking about it, and they didn't even care about the subsequent cosplay performances anymore. It seems that love is still the most attractive topic.

The carnival felt even closer to the players because of this little incident.

If players can muster the courage to propose in this place, then what can't they do?

Just as this carnival presents itself to outsiders, it is a day of celebration for the players, and everything is for the players.

As long as the players are happy, the carnival is a success.

The next day, besides the newlyweds' engagement being a highlight, there was also new game news from the official channels.

The game trailers for the three-day carnival will definitely be released gradually in a phased manner. If they are all released on the first day, the hype will be significantly reduced later on.

The focus of the second day was on the first female producer to develop a big-budget game.

Her name is Tsukino Aya.

She is considered a veteran in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, having been with the company since its founding.

Aya Tsukino had previously tried to produce several games, but none of them could compare to this one in terms of scale.

After years of learning from Zhu Youxing and with the support of the latest engine and motion capture system, a real-time role-playing game very similar to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been announced, titled "Tales of the Moon".

This game's visual presentation alone is very close to that of Final Fantasy X, making it one of the most visually stunning games in the current gaming industry.

In addition, Aya Tsukino herself is a superb technical player, so there is absolutely no problem with the stability of the game.

In addition, this game also features fantastic action effects.

The numerical effects of these actions are a treasure for Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

In the trailer, the main character is a woman.

This should also be considered the first big-budget game with a female protagonist.

The protagonist is an adventurer-like character who embarks on adventures in a world of swords and magic.

The game's overall framework is fairly standard, but the visuals are outstanding, and this time it also boasts what the trailer claims to be the best game story ever.

So just looking at the description and presentation of this trailer, many players are already very eager to buy it.

Moreover, this game was led by a woman, a point that was specifically emphasized during its announcement, clearly intended as a promotional gimmick to draw more attention to the game.

It would be even better if it could attract some female players.

Aiko and the others, who had already formed their own game development trio, were also looking forward to the game after seeing it. They thought it would be amazing if they could develop a game like this in the future.

The carnival ended on the second day, and because it was the weekend, the number of visitors today rose to over 70,000.

In addition, the audience at the adjacent e-sports arena could easily reach 100,000.

This is something only a national-level event could have, and Tokyo government officials must be laughing all the way to the bank.

This also made Tokyo seem to have briefly returned to the state it was in before the bubble burst.

If the officials aren't stupid, they can make good use of this opportunity to revitalize Tokyo's economy.

It's quite possible that it might actually return to its former glory.

This prompted the Tokyo government to spare no effort in promoting the carnival, even going so far as to associate video games with Tokyo and give it the name "Video Game Capital."

The biggest beneficiary of all this is none other than Zhu Youxing.

Esports is gradually gaining popularity and has formed its own competition system. Other companies have also wanted to follow suit in the esports industry, but none have been as successful as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

In the realm of video games, no other company can compare to Yusei Electronics Entertainment.

The third day of the carnival, which is also the last day of the carnival.

The players' enthusiasm has not diminished in the slightest.

Even though they had been playing for two whole days, they didn't feel tired at all.

Because this kind of carnival is truly rare, being able to participate in it with a group of like-minded people is genuinely heartwarming.

Moreover, the carnival on the third day was even more grand, and Zhuyouxing spared no expense in this regard, inviting different celebrities to perform every day.

TV Tokyo's ratings also rose rapidly, with both news interviews and live events receiving very good viewership.

The executives at TV Tokyo were overjoyed, finally convinced that they had made the right bet.
