Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Even though this movie might seem a bit juvenile, its technical prowess is undeniable.

That's really impressive; it's not something an ordinary person can do.

The Millison Film Festival takes place at the end of March in Las Vegas, USA. Big names in the film industry will definitely be in attendance. Yusei Take is the only person who is not in the film industry but still received a special invitation from the selection committee.

This is a huge favor to Zhu Youxing, so Zhu Youxing will definitely go.

Not going would make one seem a bit out of place.

Moreover, this trip would also be an opportunity to increase the popularity of their own IP, so Zhuyouxing would naturally not miss it.

Final Fantasy merchandise is selling like hotcakes right now, and its IP value is almost on par with its own Mario and Pokémon series. It is very likely to become a globally renowned IP in the future, so it's a good idea to take advantage of this opportunity to promote it.

Upon receiving the invitation, Zhu Youxing didn't hesitate and quickly booked a flight to the United States. He also planned to discuss the development plans for several upcoming games with the team there.

Several game producers, along with Airi Hayazawa and Aya Tsukino, accompanied Takeyuki to the United States.

The first-class cabin on the plane had been completely booked by Yusei Electronic Entertainment. Everyone was resting with their eyes closed, while Tsukino Aya sat next to Takeyusei, seriously pondering how to play the new game.

Zhu Youxing quietly looked at the information on the computer.

The information is related to Myron Case.

Most of them are recent activity trajectories of Myron Keyes.

The company is working intensively on the preparation of new products, and the launch event is expected to be held in the near future. It is likely that the product will be a sensation when it is launched.

Zhu Youxing sighed twice.

After noticing Takeyusei's sigh, Tsukino Aya put down her handheld game console and looked at him.

A few seconds later, Takeyusei turned to look at Tsukino Aya and found her staring at him. He asked in confusion, "Aya, what's wrong?"

“You seem to have something on your mind,” Tsukino Aya said.

Zhu Youxing didn't feel the need to hide anything, so he nodded readily and said, "Yes, I do have something on my mind, but it's not really related to work."

"Related to Myron Case? Your recent computer browsing history is full of that person."

"It is indeed related; this person is quite capable."

Aya Tsukino said, somewhat puzzled, "Is it that impressive? He's only released a few relatively successful music players, what's so special about that? It's not like there's any real technological sophistication in it."

“But this thing is very popular,” Zhu Youxing said.

"Hmm... combined, it's only about ten million in sales. Our latest game console has already sold over thirty million. What's the comparison? Are you worried that this little thing will threaten our game console sales?"

"That's not entirely true." Zhu Youxing shook his head.

"Then what are you worried about?"

"They're probably worried about the future."

"The future?" Aya Tsukino was even more puzzled.

After a two-second silence, Tsukino Aya looked at Takeyuki seriously and said, "Takeyuki, this isn't like you. You're usually very calm in the face of any impending crisis, but this time you seem very helpless."

"Yes, that's true. It's probably because they think this time will be much more troublesome than before, so they have some concerns."

Zhu Youxing knew best what the outcome would be with the arrival of the Internet age.

Video games will undoubtedly experience rapid growth, but home consoles and handheld consoles will be greatly affected, especially the handheld console industry.

But Zhu Youxing just happens to like this industry, which is really frustrating.

Chapter 551 There's nothing to be afraid of

In fact, if Zhuyouxing really wanted to make money, it could just develop a bunch of pay-to-win games.

This could be a powerful tool for making money in the future mobile internet era.

But that wouldn't be very interesting.

From beginning to end, Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always been his own company. He doesn't have to be responsible to anyone; he just needs to make himself happy.

Moreover, he is not without ambition; he is quite ambitious about the gaming industry.

He still prefers handheld and home consoles; it's a matter of personal preference.

“Zhuyou, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can face them together. I am willing to support you from behind, so please don’t do this. I hope you can have more fighting spirit, even if the future is full of uncertainty, I hope you can find a way to break through in this uncertainty.”

Aya Tsukino spoke a lot, which was quite rare for her.

Especially when it comes to persuading others, Aya Tsukino would almost never say such things before, because she is usually very aloof.

However, when facing Zhu Youxing, she found herself increasingly drawn to him.

This is an uncontrollable emotion, an involuntary feeling.

When she sees that Zhu Youxing seems a little down, she hopes that Zhu Youxing can cheer up.

If persuasion is effective, she will talk more, even if it doesn't quite fit her personality.

Takeyusei looked at Tsukino Aya with some surprise. This really wasn't something she would normally say, but after she said it, Takeyusei's mood improved quite a bit.

"Zhuyou, you seem a bit off lately. Is it really because of this person on your computer? Could it be that this person is also planning to develop video games to compete with us?"

At this moment, Hayasawa Airi, who was not far away, also came over and said something.

Zhu Youxing smiled helplessly and said, "If he really only intends to develop a game to compete with us, I'm not afraid of anything."

"What is that?" Airi Hayazawa asked, tilting her head.

"This person is quite remarkable; he has the potential to change the world."

"Is it like you, Zhuyou?"

Zhu Youxing was slightly taken aback.

"I?"

"That's right, you're the god of games now, you've already changed the world, haven't you?"

Zhu Youxing fell silent for a moment.

"President, if we're talking about changing the world, no one knows better than you. You created an entire industry all by yourself and made it flourish in just ten years. If we're talking about the ability to change the world, I believe no one is more capable than you. So what is there for you to worry about, President?"

Yuki Uesugi, the head of the fifth development team, who was sitting in front of Takeyusei, also turned around to look at Takeyusei, his eyes full of admiration.

He is in charge of the Final Fantasy series and has been a witness to the miracles that Bamboo Star has created over the years.

In his mind, Zhu Youxing's status was no less than that of those legendary figures who changed the world in ancient history. Moreover, he was a living, breathing great figure, and he felt very honored to work under such a person.

He was also very puzzled by Zhu Youxing's reaction.

I really didn't expect that even the president of the company would have moments of confusion.

However, since the president seems confused, then the employees must step up and shoulder everything.

Hayazawa Airi immediately chimed in, "Uesugi-san is right. Takeyu, you are also a world-changing person, and in my opinion, you are the most amazing one. You don't need to worry about someone who is not as good as you."

At that moment, several game producers and other employees also looked at him.

Their eyes held encouragement, admiration, and confidence in themselves.

All of this is based on the fact that Zhu Youxing has created miracles time and time again.

“Zhuyou, you don’t need to worry about anything. We’ve come this far and we won’t give up easily because of a little setback. Even if the future is really dark, at least the darkness hasn’t come yet. We still have a chance to change everything, and we all believe that you can lead us to change everything. So please don’t give up. We will always be behind you to support you.”

Zhu Youxing opened his mouth as if to say something, then suddenly laughed.

"You're right, I have indeed been overthinking things."

Yes, so what if the mobile internet era has arrived?

That doesn't mean people stop playing games.

What was your original intention?

That is to play even more fun games, and at the same time let people in this world know about the fascinating games from his past life.

The arrival of mobile internet will actually be a good thing, because it will allow any hit game to spread more rapidly than ever before.

Even though pay-to-win games were all the rage in the world, the console and handheld game markets were still on the rise and hardly stagnated, only the growth was a little slower.

So it really doesn't matter if Myron Keyes succeeds.

Zhu Youxing could easily develop a mobile phone himself, and with his forward-thinking vision, he would naturally be able to do it better than Myron Case.

But that's meaningless. If you're going to do something, do something challenging.

The handheld gaming market will be eroded by the mobile internet because the handheld gaming market itself reached a bottleneck in its development in the previous life, and was just thrown into disarray by smartphones. Even the century-old Nintendo almost stumbled because of this.

However, what truly determines the future is not so-called hardware, but content.

When it comes to game quality, I'm not afraid of anyone.

Perhaps with the support of mobile internet, games that only cost 5 or 6 points to pay-to-win can attract most users, so I will strive to make a 10-point game to win back my users!

There's nothing to be afraid of.

He has all the games in the world as a foundation, so why would he worry about a native who has no understanding of the future?

Myron Case is indeed very intelligent and insightful, but he is also destined to have his limitations, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Zhu Youxing took a deep breath and said, "You're right. I have been thinking too much. Before darkness comes, we should try our best to change it and prevent it from descending. That's what we should be doing."

A smile appeared on Tsukino Aya's lips.

Zhu Youxing's confidence returned, and he returned to his usual strategic planning.

So as long as Takeyusei recovers to this state, Tsukino Aya believes that there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and the future is still unknown.

"It seems our president has recovered. How about we celebrate with a glass of champagne?"

Yuki Uesugi brought it up himself.

"Do you have any red wine?" Noritoshi from the fourth development team asked, his eyes shining.

"Get out of here. We're on a plane right now, and there are other people here. I don't want to be with a drunk."

"I can really drink."

"Last time you drank two cups of sake and passed out, and you even threw up all over me."
