Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

As game sales rapidly increased, some casual observers and passersby were also drawn in. They looked at the game with curiosity, wondering why such a game would attract people.

Then, after they actually tried playing it, they understood what those people who were addicted to it were thinking. This game is really good... no, it can't be described as just good, this game is really amazing!

Chapter 535 The Man Who Saw a Ghost

"Have you found them? Who is this person?"

Inside YOO's headquarters, Nagao Yu asked one of her subordinates a serious question.

The subordinate, sweating profusely, said cautiously, "I'm very sorry, boss, we've done our best, but this person is very well hidden, and we can't find any information about him."

Stardew Valley has gradually become a hot topic.

Moreover, because Stardew Valley rose to prominence very quickly, it also created a completely new game genre, which players like to call a farming game or a farming game.

In this parallel world, Zhu Youxing is already the God of Games, a top figure leading the entire industry.

Most players are used to the fact that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the first to create new and popular genres.

However, this mysterious game creator proved single-handedly that there is more than one genius in this world than Zhu Youxing.

There are still some incredibly talented people in this world who can suddenly appear and amaze everyone.

For a time, the creator of "Nintendo is the world's ruler" was considered by some to be on par with Takeyuki.

Such a person, whose popularity suddenly surges, will naturally attract extra attention from their peers.

Some game companies had already begun searching for any information related to this mysterious game creator.

Unfortunately, there is almost no information about this mysterious person online.

Aside from releasing a game, his most recent activity was briefly on the now-defunct YiNan Games website.

Then they also discovered that Murakami Kazuo's career seemed to be related to this person. However, Murakami Kazuo himself said that he knew very little about this person, only that he was also a person who loved games very much. Furthermore, Murakami Kazuo received a lot of guidance from this mysterious person, and Murakami Kazuo was willing to regard him as his master. It's just a pity that the other party did not respond to this.

Game companies are generally interested in such individuals, and larger game companies also pay attention to independent producers like these.

YOO, which now owns more than ten game studios, is no exception.

Their CEO, Long Tail Rain, even became a Stardew Valley addict in a very short time.

He stayed up all night playing this game a couple of days ago.

I have to say, this game is really addictive.

Even though he wasn't exactly a big gamer, this game still captivated him.

Perhaps it was because the process of starting from scratch and eventually reaping rich rewards in the game reminded him of his own struggles, making him feel a deep sense of empathy.

Nagaoyu naturally realized that this mysterious game producer was definitely a talent!

Moreover, judging from this trend, if this mysterious game developer develops one or two more games that are no less powerful than Stardew Valley, it is very likely that it will be truly elevated to the same status as Bamboo Star by its fans.

So, if we could recruit such people, we might have the ability to truly compete with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

So this guy called Nintendo World Dominator is a great supplement for me, allowing my game development to reach a new level.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to order his men to find all information about this person.

However, he also encountered the same problems as other game companies.

There is no information about the game's creator online.

This is truly unbelievable.

Although the internet has not yet truly dominated the world, it has become a trendsetter and a symbol of fashion. Nowadays, there is no young person who doesn't know about the internet and no one who doesn't use it.

But apart from being active on a gaming website for a while and posting Stardew Valley on Battle.net, this guy hasn't made any other moves.

Does this person have other alternate accounts?

But that doesn't make sense either. A network IP address doesn't change unless the person is extremely cautious and doesn't want to be discovered, so they deliberately hide themselves.

I really don't understand why someone like that would try so hard to hide himself.

Could this person be a wanted criminal?

Even if they are wanted criminals, it doesn't matter. Nagao Ame is confident that she can save such people from any imprisonment.

Nagao Yu's face darkened: "Where do you get your salaries? Is this how you get them? You can't even find anyone to help you, what use are you?"

The employees in front of Nagao Ame lowered their heads and dared not say a word, for fear of making Nagao Ame even angrier.

Japan has a very strict hierarchical system, and companies like Yusei Electronics Entertainment are extremely rare examples that cannot be used as a reference.

Even a new internet portal like Longtail Rain cannot escape the traditional hierarchical social relationships.

No matter how angry Nagaoyu was, he knew that it wasn't entirely because his employees were incompetent.

This person is very well hidden, making it impossible to find any clues to follow.

It's unbelievable, this person seems to have appeared out of thin air.

"Does anyone have a good way to find more information about this person? If you can, I'll give that person ten million yen as a reward right now, in cash!"

Nagao Yu is incredibly generous. His company has expanded rapidly in the past few years, and he has so much money that he can't possibly spend it all.

Some employees' eyes lit up immediately when they heard about the bounty offered by Long Tail Rain, but they also knew the difficulties involved.

This person is really well hidden; it's hard to find them even if you want to.

In fact, Zhu Youxing did see the messages from those people who contacted him, but he simply ignored them all.

The benefits those people offered were utterly unattractive to me. As a company president myself, I naturally didn't need anyone to offer me a higher salary.

He didn't respond even when Murakami Kazuo contacted him, because he felt that Murakami Kazuo had already developed his own style and there was no need for him to use a secondary account to guide him anymore.

At that moment, an employee had a sudden inspiration and raised his hand, saying, "President Nagao, I've thought of a solution."

"Speak quickly!"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "But this method might be somewhat illegal."

"Illegal? Don't worry about that, it's not your concern. Just tell me!"

"We can hack into the Battle.net platform and steal the producer information of this Stardew Valley submission. This way, we can know the person's specific information. Battle.net must have this person's detailed information."

Longtail Rain's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea!

Chapter 536 Free Game Hall

536

Longtail Rain is a person who will stop at nothing to accomplish certain things.

He is also a very stubborn person.

The more he couldn't find this mysterious game creator, the more he wanted to find him.

Just like how he was never able to acquire Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, he would still harass Yuxing Electronic Entertainment from time to time, hoping to successfully acquire it.

However, as time went on, he realized that such a possibility was unlikely, so he opted to acquire more game studios as a second choice. After all, he had money, and he couldn't let it go to waste.

His platform continues to grow in users, and as long as it grows, those Wall Street bigwigs are willing to pay for it.

Other internet portals are similar; they are all in a growth phase and seem to have a promising future.

This time, his encounter with the mysterious game producer yielded no results, which reignited his stubborn and obsessive nature.

You're just a small-time game developer, completely independent, and probably without any team. If someone with no background can't even manage on their own, how can they become a world-class internet giant in the future?

So even if hacking into a platform is slightly illegal, he is willing to break the law.

On the advice of his employees, he began to have his company's best network programmers hack into the Battle.net platform owned by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

This kind of behavior of directly launching a cyberattack against the opponent's internet platform is very unreasonable, but that's exactly what he did.

As long as you hide it well, you can act as if nothing happened afterwards.

Having worked in the internet industry for so many years, he had never encountered internet technology more advanced than his own. The other party was just a mere game company, and probably only had a superficial understanding of internet services, let alone set up much protection for his platform.

Of course, he couldn't do this kind of intrusion openly, so he chose to hack into the Battle.net platform in the middle of the night.

This is probably also the moment when protection is at its weakest.

Indeed, this seems to be the case.

The late nights in Japan are no different from those in major cities in other countries. Inside the headquarters of Yusei Electronics Entertainment, there are still a few server maintenance workers on night shift.

Employees generally resist working overtime in most companies, unless the pay is high enough.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is a prime example of high pay. Of course, these employees don't work the night shift just because of the high pay. It's just that the night shift work isn't boring. Some employees are even single and bored at home, so they prefer to work the night shift with other colleagues at the company. They can get together and play a few games. There are usually no unexpected situations at night, so working at the company is like finding a place to party and have fun.

The lights are on in one of the offices, where eight employees on the night shift are playing games.

This is a lounge with fitness equipment, and naturally, its own game consoles.

This place looks just like an arcade, and it's free.

At the same time, because Zhuyouxing doesn't care about the products of its competitors, you can also see game consoles and games from many game companies here.

Several video game console companies have gone out of business by now, but the consoles themselves have been preserved intact here.

This makes it seem like a place showcasing past achievements.

The most popular platform is definitely their own console, because that's where you find the best games; other games are just for passing the time when you're bored.

"Hey! Rathalos is already weakened! Quickly release a tranquilizer dart! ...Wow! You're so stupid, you killed it again! How many times have I told you that the reward is much greater if you capture it this way!"

"Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to kill it out of habit. I was getting really badly beaten by Rathalos before, and seeing Rathalos so badly in front of me for the first time, I couldn't help but hit it a few more times."

"Sigh, forget it, let's do it one more time, want to fight again or not?"

"Go for it! We finally have a chance to join a four-person car team, we can't miss it!"

Over here, four people are huddled together playing Monster Hunter on a GSL handheld console.

Although this game has frustrated many players, once you get into it, the more frustrated you get, the more enjoyable it becomes, as if it has unintentionally activated some kind of perverse human trait.

Monster Hunter is now very popular within a small circle, which has a base of about 300,000 people worldwide.
