Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

This time, reaching 300,000 is truly unimaginable.

What was supposed to be a great technology exhibition has turned into a gaming exhibition this year, which is somewhat off-topic.

However, the exhibition organizers were still very happy, after all, they were selling tickets like hotcakes and there were venue fees from various manufacturers.

However, many technology companies have expressed their dissatisfaction as a result.

Because most of the people who came this time didn't have any intention of looking at their products, they were all there for the two game companies, so their products didn't get much publicity this time.

To appease these people, the organizers had no choice but to promise that they would give serious consideration to game companies' participation in the next technology expo, and would also offer some discounts on venue fees for these technology companies in the next expo.

After calming these people down, the exhibition organizers continued to happily count their money; they had really made a killing this time.

A VIP ticket costs $150, and a regular three-day ticket costs $80. In just a few days, plus the venue fees, the organizers can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. Only the World Expo can have such a scale.

Hearing Kazumi's complaints, Oto-chan pouted and said, "It's all because you're such an idiot that you got up late today. We've been waiting for you for ages before you finally got up."

Kazumi, her face slightly flushed, retorted, "Isn't this just jet lag...?"

Chapter 613 Alive, breathing.

613

The three of them are now considered to be quite wealthy.

Their farm defense game sales are still climbing, providing them with a very stable and continuous income every month.

Only at this moment could they finally be certain that they had the talent and ability to develop games.

This was the first time the three girls had come to the United States together, and they wanted to witness this battle between video game consoles firsthand.

Aside from these three girls, all the other players shared the same thought.

The only regrettable thing right now is that there are too many people, and we can't even get into the venue.

Kazumi couldn't help but look around and found that everyone around her seemed to be a gamer, as many people were taking out their handheld game consoles to play while waiting.

It has to be said that handheld consoles are truly excellent products. They allow you to play anytime, anywhere, bringing you immense joy. People really can't think of anything more fun in the world than a handheld console.

"Hey, how about the three of us play Monster Hunter for a while?" Kazumi suggested to her two friends.

Yin Jiang said with a look of disgust, "I'm not playing with you. Every time we play Monster Hunter, you never fight monsters, you just collect items everywhere."

Kazumi immediately replied, "Not anymore. I've already defeated a G-rank monster all by myself."

Aiko then pulled three handheld consoles out of her bag and said, "Alright, we have nothing else to do, so let's play for a while."

Yin-chan was just saying it casually. Seeing that Aiko had already taken out her handheld console, she took her pink one. Kazumi's handheld console was a yellow Pikachu limited edition, which was one of her favorite game characters. When Pikachu released a limited edition console, she bought another one without hesitation.

Among the three, Aiko's handheld console is the most ordinary, a plain black one, which is quite in line with her personality—she doesn't need external things to highlight her character.

The three of them skillfully turned on their handheld consoles and entered the Monster Hunter interface.

Girls who can play Monster Hunter, and are really good at it, are extremely rare these days.

So when the three girls took out their handheld consoles and entered the Monster Hunter interface, some players around them cast curious and surprised glances their way.

The three girls were completely unaware.

Aiko stared at the handheld screen and said, "How about we play a game with Tigrex?"

Kazumi and Oto-chan had no objections. The three of them, including the Tigrex mascot, had played the game countless times, so the difficulty of this monster was nothing to them at their current level.

After the three of them equipped themselves, they were ready to enter the hunting area. The people behind them couldn't help but stare at the three of their handheld console screens.

The three of them continued chatting while playing.

Kazumi said, "Hey, do you think we should develop a game like Monster Hunter? Aiko, you're the best at technology, so you can focus on developing the monster hunting gameplay, and I'll develop the farming gameplay."

Yinjiang immediately said, "Here we go again! Why do you want to farm everything?"

"It's just a feature, adding a feature won't hurt you."

Yin Jiang said, "Then I also want to add some features, such as modern firearms. Why don't we just develop a modern version of Monster Hunter?"

Aiko replied without hesitation, "You two are really underestimating game development. The programming and action values ​​for Monster Hunter are simply beyond the capabilities of the three of us, at least not right now. Forget about developing games like that. Let's stick to developing some indie games and wait until we graduate from university and save up enough money before thinking about anything else."

Aiko is more realistic. She understands that large-scale games are destined to require a huge amount of money. Oto and Kazumi do not have a deep understanding of this. Therefore, Aiko is actually in charge of the game development. She controls the overall direction. Only the game classification and gameplay are decided by different people each time.

The three of them are currently developing a zombie-fighting game based on the idea proposed by Oto. According to Aiko's calculations, the development cost can be controlled to around $100,000, which is a considerable investment for them. The estimated development time is at least half a year.

"Excuse me, are you independent game developers?"

Just then, a voice rang out. The voice came from a young man who was wearing glasses and looked to be around twenty years old.

He speaks fluent Japanese, so he's probably from the same country.

At this moment, Aiko was swinging her giant hammer and smashing it hard on the head of the Tigrex, knocking it to the ground and unable to get up. Oto and Kazumi immediately took the opportunity to rush up and unleash a barrage of attacks, while Aiko looked up at the young man.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The young man couldn't help but say, "That's amazing! You guys are really game developers. This is the first time I've ever seen independent game developers. May I ask what games you've developed? Maybe I could be a fan of yours."

Upon hearing the word "fans," both Yinjiang and Hemei momentarily forgot to continue attacking the Dragon and looked up at the young man.

He Mei immediately said enthusiastically, "We previously developed a farm defense strategy."

"Huh? You guys developed Farm Defense War?!"

The young man was pleasantly surprised.

"I've actually played this game, and I really love the atmosphere. I never imagined it was made by three beautiful ladies. I'm definitely a fan of yours now!"

This should be considered the first time the three girls have seen someone who likes their game.

Previously, the three of them had been quietly making games and earning money without even telling their families.

At that time, they never imagined they would have fans.

The three girls had an indescribable feeling when they met someone who liked their game for the first time and showed great admiration for it.

A sense of accomplishment? Or a sense of honor? A bit of both.

With sparkling eyes, Kazumi asked, "Do you really like our game? What do you like about it?"

"Of course, the two core gameplay elements are farming and protecting the farm, both of which are quite interesting."

After the young man finished speaking, he immediately craned his neck to look in another direction.

Then he shouted, "Hey, Kirito, Takeshi, come here right now!"

Soon, several people squeezed over, and they seemed somewhat reluctant.

"We were having a great time playing the game, why did you call us over?"

The young man immediately introduced them to the group: "These three ladies are the developers of Farm Defense. They're real, breathing people!"

"Huh?"

Alive? Breathing?

This guy really doesn't know how to talk.

The three girls were thinking the same thing at the same time.

Chapter 614 The Next Era is Coming

614

The three girls were somewhat flattered by the popularity they received for the first time, but they were still quite excited.

Aiko remained relatively calm about this, and Oto-chan didn't show much outward reaction either. As for Kazumi, she liked to wear her emotions on her sleeve.

Soon, several more people gathered around to express their love for the game, and some even started asking the three for autographs.

In the past, the three girls had to ask others for autographs; this was the first time someone had asked them for autographs.

However, it was at this moment that the press conference for Youxing Electronic Entertainment officially began.

A video also began playing on the large screen outside the exhibition hall.

This video features clips from many classic works by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

The music for this video was even created separately.

The music production team under the current Youxing Electronic Entertainment is also among the top in the industry, having won numerous music-related awards, making the production of music for a video a breeze.

Everyone, including Aiko and her two companions, immediately put down what they were doing and looked at the screen.

The videos are incredibly exciting; every official compilation video from Youxing Electronics Entertainment is just as thrilling.

The video then proceeded to a countdown.

10, Need for Speed ​​speeds past and breaks the number 10.

9. Monster hunters use the long sword to cut through numbers.

At the same time, players spontaneously began shouting countdown chants.

The shouts were in different languages ​​from all over the world.

"8!" Link, wielding the Master Sword, raised his longsword and summoned the number 8.

"7!" Ryu, the protagonist of Street Fighter, unleashed a shockwave that shattered 7.

"6!" Pikachu in Pokémon unleashed an ultra-high voltage electric shock, shattering the digital electricity.

"5!" Samus, the protagonist of Metrorod, dashes across the screen, leaving a trail of the number five.

"4!" In Final Fantasy, multiple main characters unleash their ultimate attack together, illuminating the sky and forming the number 4.

"3!" In each generation of Dragon Quest, the hero protagonists work together to save the number 3 from the abyss.

"2!" The Tetris blocks are continuously built up to display the number 2 on the screen.

"1!" Finally, Super Mario appeared. He first appeared from the side of the screen, then looked around curiously, and then took out a small number 1 from his pocket.

The number 1 shone with boundless light, illuminating the entire screen in a hazy white glow.

People craned their necks, their eyes wide with anticipation, waiting for what would happen next.

As the lights gradually dimmed, the main venue for the press conference was finally revealed, and Yusei Take, president of Yusei Electronics Entertainment, personally took to the stage with a smile on his face.

"Players, heroes, and adventurer scientists, welcome to Yusei's next-generation launch event."
