Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

For a top-tier game, this number of users isn't much, but having hundreds of thousands of stable players is enough to allow the game to break even. So, the rest is about increasing the player base under this condition. Monster Hunter has already laid a solid foundation; the rest is about slowly dominating the market.

In the original world of Takeyusei, Monster Hunter had become the undisputed king of co-op games, and Takeyusei hoped that this world would have the same status.

Besides these four people, on the other side, you can see two guys sitting together in front of a game machine that has been set up like an arcade.

In front of them was a set of button controllers that looked very large, just like the arcade machines in the original world of Bamboo Star.

The arcade game machines in this world were basically created by Takeyusei, and games like Street Fighter are very suitable for playing in a class-based mode. In fact, Takeyusei felt that this was the best way to showcase Street Fighter.

There are indeed many Street Fighter arcade machines in many entertainment venues in Japan now, and they can continuously bring substantial income to the store owners who purchase them. The store owners also enjoy playing Street Fighter games.

These two look like they're seriously fighting, but upon closer inspection, it seems that's not the case.

"Hey, you bastard, hurry up and attack me."

"Alright, how do you want to be attacked?"

"Just use a small fist. My Mai Shiranui will lean back, and that way you can see her deep V-neck."

"Hehe, I like it."

Hehe, hehehe.

The two men had strange expressions. If someone outside the company saw them like that, they would probably suspect that a criminal had been released and would then keep their distance.

Here, their true nature is fully unleashed, and they don't need to care about the opinions of others.

Because the people here are all pretty much the same.

On the other side, two people were doing some light exercise while chatting.

"Speaking of which, have you played Stardew Valley lately, President?"

"Of course I played it. I really admire the president. He always creates more innovative games in ways we never expect."

Chapter 537 The Silent Invasion

537

Outside the company, Zhu Youxing is known as the God of Games; within the company, Zhu Youxing also holds a very high position.

This is the prestige that Bamboo Star has established over the years by continuously creating all kinds of novel games.

Employees often secretly admire Zhu Youxing.

They are also very happy to be able to work for such a company.

There are countless joys here, and even the most strenuous work doesn't feel too tiring.

"Now that the president has finished Stardew Valley, I wonder if he has any other game development plans."

"Of course! Didn't we mention before that the president was planning to develop a horror game? I think it's called Resident Evil?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about that. It's just a pity that I'm a bit of a coward, so I probably won't have the chance to play Resident Evil."

"I heard this game isn't particularly scary; all the scary parts are pretty straightforward. Maybe that's okay for you?"

"That won't work either. I've never been able to resist scary things."

"That's a real shame. I will definitely play every game that the president makes seriously."

"Besides Resident Evil, has the president considered making any other games? Have you heard of any?"

"I think I've heard that the president has spoken with several people in charge, but I don't know the specifics of the conversation. I only know that it was probably related to the development of a new game. It seems that the president has started to consider overseeing the development of multiple games at the same time."

The man's eyes lit up: "Really? That's great! This way we might be able to see more high-quality games."

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it too!"

The two people who were working out chatted about work while exercising, looking quite relaxed.

This night shift doesn't feel like a night shift at all; the eight of them seem more like they're on vacation here.

"Phew, I'm a bit tired, I'm going back to my workstation to rest for a while, then we'll team up properly again in the middle of the night!"

At that moment, one of the four monster hunters stretched.

He played Monster Hunter non-stop all night, and was even a little tired from playing, so he decided to go and rest for a while.

The others complained briefly, but didn't say anything more. Anyway, the three of them could play just as well, and they were planning to play all night long today.

The man got up from his seat, left the lounge, and headed to his workstation.

However, their night shift isn't really about playing around; they also have duties, which include monitoring the company's network server status.

The company has dedicated servers to serve users within the Tokyo area, where network latency is the lowest. This is because there are dedicated server lines and state-of-the-art servers located here.

However, under normal circumstances, the server will not experience any unexpected issues.

It's not a big day for game releases, nor is it a day when certain games suddenly become popular, and there's no need to worry about sudden network congestion.

Moreover, Youxing Electronic Entertainment's servers are set with very high thresholds, so they can handle even if the number of users accessing the site increases four or five times.

That's why these employees on the night shift have such an easy time.

Even so, we still need to pay some attention to the server's condition.

After leaving the lounge, the person thought for a moment, then turned around and headed to the server area to take a look.

This was also the time when YOO's people were preparing to hack into the Youxing Electronic Entertainment Battle.net platform.

Nagao Yu even personally supervised the operation, wanting to obtain firsthand information about the mysterious game producer. He wanted to see what this guy actually looked like.

Under Changweiyu's instructions, his employees no longer held back and began using computers to access the Battle.net website of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Access commands began to be issued, while software silently intruded and stole information, preparing to enter the Battle.net server.

The whole process was very smooth, as if the Battle.net server was completely undefended.

Nagao Yu also showed a happy expression, thinking that it seemed that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was nothing special. In an area they were not familiar with, their defenses were too weak, and they did not take any precautions.

But at that moment, the previously successful intrusion into the software and the surge in access suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Nagao Yu's expression also changed: "What's wrong? Why isn't the data access responding?"

"President...the other side discovered our intrusion..." An employee's expression was somewhat bitter.

They had been preparing for this for a long time, and had even considered how they would react if they were discovered.

But they never expected to be discovered so quickly.

This is at night.

Why was it discovered so quickly?

It's just a game company.

"We've been discovered? How could you be so careless?"

The employees of Changweiyu were extremely frustrated.

It wasn't that they weren't careful enough; it's that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment seems to have some very sensitive perception system that immediately detects when its network is compromised and then begins to defend against it.

"President, it's not that we were careless, it's just that Yusei Electronics Entertainment seems to have a very powerful defense system. Their firewall is much stronger than we imagined."

Long Tail Rain glared: "No matter how powerful it is, it's just a game company's defense system. Don't tell me that our internet company, which has been operating for many years, can't even break through a game company's network."

This behavior is actually illegal, but Longtail Rain doesn't care about that anymore.

At this point, he found it incomprehensible that he could not successfully hack into the site.

We're a top-tier internet company, so why can't we even successfully hack into a game company's network?

This is clearly unreasonable.

He couldn't understand it, but actually it wasn't that hard to understand.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has always had a strong internet presence.

Zhu Youxing is, after all, a person from a parallel world in the future.

He knew deeply that the internet was the future, so he attached great importance to it from the very beginning of his life.

However, since he works for a game company, his research into internet technology generally doesn't have much of a place to be used.

Oh, by the way, Facebook uses some of its internet technology services from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Bob, the CEO of Facebook, who is also very talented in the internet field, was shocked when he saw those advanced internet technologies. He couldn't imagine why a game company would have such technological capabilities.

However, he was also very pleased that he could directly acquire these technologies, which greatly shortened his complicated work.

Chapter 538 Bloodshed and Calm

538

It's not that Longtail Rain Company lacks technical capabilities; it's just that Yusei Electronic Entertainment Company's internet technology is too strong.

The strength of its game development capabilities has caused many people to overlook the achievements of Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the internet field.

In one of the most prominent windows of the Star Entertainment Company, there is a sign with a description written entirely in English.

The sign reads as follows:

'Stanford University Computer Science Long-Term Partner'

'Advisor to the Stanford Theoretical Group Lab (Algorithm Game Theory)'

'Advisor for Stanford Infolab Lab (Database and Network Analysis)'

This is proof of the long-term partnership established between Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Stanford University about three or four years ago.

Because of BambooGames' groundbreaking leadership in the gaming industry, even world-class universities like Stanford University seem eager to capitalize on its popularity.

Especially given the current popularity of video games, Bamboo Star has become even more sought after.

Stanford University then contacted Takeyusei through Aya Tsukino and several top programmers already working at Yusei Electronics Entertainment, and invited him to become an honorary professor at Stanford University.

The name itself isn't important; what's important is that Stanford University can use it to start a brand new major, and because of the name "Bamboo Game Star," there's no worry about a flood of people interested in gaming flocking to Stanford.

In addition, Zhu Youxing will also give a lecture at Stanford University about every six months. The content of the lecture is free and there are no restrictions.

Of course, the purpose of the cooperation is to achieve a win-win situation. Stanford University's computer science department is also willing to provide some computer assistance to Youxing Electronic Entertainment. In addition, some outstanding students who are interested in Youxing Electronic Entertainment will write additional letters of introduction and receive some extra benefits.

So far, the cooperation between the two parties has been very smooth. Stanford University has gained more students, and Zhu Youxing's influence is indeed amazing. One of the geniuses, who has been reported on by the world many times, was willing to study at Stanford without any conditions just because Zhu Youxing is an honorary professor at Stanford. This has greatly enhanced Stanford's reputation and made it quite a show among other top universities of equal status.
