Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

He suddenly had some ideas to speed up sales and was ready to have a good talk with Ota, so he didn't have time to continue chatting with Tsukino Aya.

But the image of this strange girl was etched into Zhu Youxing's mind.

Tsukino Aya watched Takeyusei enter the entertainment hall with some skepticism, but then she thought Takeyusei's suggestion seemed quite good, so she took out a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket and wrote down her address and contact information.

Shortly after, two shop assistants emerged from the store, each carrying a large sign that read, "Address Registration Desk: Customers in line can register their addresses here (Tokyo area only). Delivery will be made within three days."

Upon seeing this, Aya Tsukino's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly stepped forward, handed the address she had written to the clerk before anyone else, and then left without looking back.

The two shop assistants were a little confused when they saw the first person leave so quickly, as if they were running away.

"Wait a minute, I think I remember this girl. She used to come over to play games late at night all the time."

"Ah, is it that strange woman of the night?"

"What 'nighttime weirdo'? That's so rude! Why would someone call me that?"

"Because that's what the guests said. They said that the girl forbids anyone from getting close to her, not even from watching her play games. She's a strange woman."

"Hmm...it does seem a bit strange."

At this moment, Aya Tsukino, who had just left, was unaware of the discussion behind her; she was in a very good mood.

It took three days to deliver it to my doorstep, which is acceptable.

If I wait here, I don't know when I'll find a quiet time to buy a game console.

Chapter 45 Lend Me a Life

Tian Chong is an editor at a newspaper.

In Japan, newspapers and magazines are the primary source of the latest news for the vast majority of the population.

Even though the internet is mature in this era, Japan has already begun developing fiber optics because its technology is ten years more advanced than that of Earth in the previous world of Zhuyouxing.

Even so, the vast majority of Japanese people still read newspapers as always, remaining very traditional.

While newspapers in other countries around the world have gradually declined, Japanese newspapers continue to sell well.

Yesterday was supposed to be Tian Chong's day off.

He wanted to stay home and sleep all day.

But his disobedient son, Xiaotianchong, jumped up excitedly at five or six o'clock in the morning.

It's fine if he goes out to play by himself; he won't care. He can just continue sleeping in.

But this child insisted on dragging him to buy some damn game console.

My son has never been so enthusiastic about anything before.

It even reached the point where if she didn't buy it for him, he would never talk to her again.

Finally, with no other choice, he could only yawn and go out with his child to buy a game console.

He figured he could finish shopping in a little over an hour and then go home.

However, to my utter dismay, I queued for an entire day and didn't get to buy anything until after 6 p.m.

Actually, there was already a registration point in the morning where you could register your address and receive your package, but Xiaotian insisted on queuing up to buy it, saying he had to be able to play it today.

Tian Chong could only warn him that this was the only time, and if it happened again, he would beat his buttocks to a pulp!

Oda readily agreed and, after making a promise, queued for a whole day to bring the game console home.

Oda was very happy; he had never seen him so happy before.

This made him a little curious about what was so fun about this thing.

Are these toy cars that cost several times more than the ones I bought before more fun?

Kids are so strange.

Watching Xiaotian Chong install it by himself according to the instructions, he didn't plan to help. He wanted his child to develop his own independent character and not rely entirely on his parents.

Finally, Oda plugged in the cable, and when he saw the name of the FC-type home entertainment computer gradually light up on the TV screen, he shouted excitedly.

"Dad, I did it!"

"Okay, okay, you succeeded. I'm going to sleep now."

Tian Chong yawned repeatedly as he prepared to return to his bedroom.

If he doesn't get some sleep after a long day, his work efficiency will be terrible tomorrow.

"Dad, don't go! Take this!" Xiao Tianchong inserted the two handles and handed one of them to him.

"Huh? Isn't this what you were playing?"

"No, this can also be played by two people, and it's even more fun with two people. For example, Contra is easier to beat when two people cooperate!"

Tian Chong couldn't understand those messy technical terms, like "clearing the game" or "Contra".

He just wants to sleep!

But seeing Oda's hopeful expression, he finally softened.

"Okay, just one hour, then I need to go to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to work tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Oda was happy that his father could play with him.

The last time I played games with my father was more than a year ago.

He also really hoped that his father would have the opportunity to play with him again.

Perhaps out of curiosity about the game and guilt towards the child, Tian Chong agreed to play with the child for an hour.

"Oh, can this be controlled with a remote?"

"Dad, this isn't a remote control, it's a controller!"

"Okay, it's the controller."

"Dad, you're so stupid! You lost all three lives in the first level. Fine, I'll lend you one."

"Your son actually mocked you. Your dad was just not taking it seriously."

"Dad, hurry up and pick that up! That's a fireball, it's super powerful!"

"Oh no, your father died again!"

"Give me...one more life."

As the screen gradually went dark, after stopping at the second level, Xiaotian Chong glared at Tian Chong himself with a resentful expression.

Tian Chong blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's okay, let's try again. Your dad was careless just now and didn't dodge. Let's try again."

"Okay, Dad, be careful, don't die too quickly."

When is it acceptable for a son to discipline his father?

Suddenly, a thought popped into Tian Chong's mind.

But he couldn't refute it now.

Because in Contra, he lost three lives in the first level, and only managed to pass the level by having Oda lend him two lives.

In the second level, he died again as soon as he opened the door, and then Oda barely made it to the middle of the second level before dying.

It can be said that his son led Tian Chong to the second level throughout the entire process.

To think that Oda Oki would look down on him, that he was inferior to Oda Oki.

Suddenly, a surge of competitive spirit welled up in Tian Chong.

I was just careless earlier. This time there will be no problem. So that's how it works. You just need to dodge it. It's not difficult at all!

The second round begins.

Tian Chong was noticeably more cautious this time.

"Dad, you're too slow! Don't hold me back!"

"Slow down, slow down, don't rush. Look at the child, you're so unsteady."

"Dad, look how slow you are, you still died!"

"Careless, careless, it won't happen again!"

Tian Chong's eyes began to redden slightly, and his eyes widened.

He now vows not to miss a single detail.

In the end, Tian Chong successfully completed the first challenge with his child, albeit at the cost of his own life.

Oda Oki, on the other hand, didn't lose a single life and was quite at ease.

"Dad, you're too weak. You lost your life in the first level, and there are still many more levels to come."

"No problem from now on, these soldiers are all trash!"

This time, Tian Chong got completely serious.

Outside the living room door, Tian Chong's wife watched the father and son bickering with curiosity.

Speaking of which, my husband hasn't played with the kids in a long time, but he seems to be having a good time.

How about we make some late-night snacks later?

Inside the house, Xiaotian Chong was still shouting loudly.

"Dad, you're so stupid! You lost two more lives in the second level!"

"I... Enough with the nonsense! Give me my life! This time, I'll take you flying!"

"No way!"

"Here, a thousand yen for pocket money."

Tian Chong took out his wallet, found a thousand-yuan note, and generously handed it to Xiao Tian Chong.

"okay!"
