Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Most importantly, this game has pioneered a completely new path, with its semi-open world making it endlessly addictive.

In the past, they were just a group of people interested in hunting monsters, but now, this rich semi-open world is incredibly fun, even if it's just about catching bugs, mining, picking mushrooms, or stealing dragon eggs when they have nothing to do.

"Hehe, my gear is finished. How cool is it?"

"Wow! The Anjanath's equipment looks really sturdy! Let's test its defensive capabilities later!"

"I still think the Diablos's armor is the coolest!"

"Nonsense, the Deinonychus is the coolest! Its streamlined dark red attire is totally my type!"

"You're disgusting. What kind of fetish is that? It's just equipment."

"I want you to take care of it!"

The three men were having a lively discussion, while Logan seemed like an outsider. But he didn't care; he just wanted to find a place to have a drink.

It's quite interesting to watch them discuss it.

Is this thing... really that interesting?

Logan's friend is actually a successful person, and he is quite well-known in his industry.

This kind of person should logically have no interest in low-level entertainment like video games; he should be swimming, horse racing, or playing golf.

But this guy just happens to like video games, which is really puzzling.

Soon the three of them threw themselves into a new round of monster hunting missions.

Logan's friend hadn't forgotten Logan, and looked back at him, asking, "Aren't you really going to give it a try? This thing is really interesting."

“No, no.” Logan waved his hand and said, “I’m thinking about the setting for my new literary work right now.”

"A new book? Remember to send me a copy when it comes out, I'll definitely support you!"

Logan nodded with a wry smile: "Okay."

After saying that, Logan's friend and the other two resumed their hunting mode.

This time, the three of them didn't specifically choose any monsters to hunt. Instead, they simply wanted to wander around the Rotten Vale of Monster Hunter, collecting materials and taking care of any large monsters they encountered.

This new Monster Hunter World has attracted many people who simply enjoy exploration and collecting. They were not originally interested in Monster Hunter, but the new Monster Hunter World's more beginner-friendly features have led to record-breaking sales.

"Let me tell you, this is how you should fight this monster: first, cut off its tail, and it's easy to get valuable materials from it!"

"Are you an idiot? This monster couldn't have lost its tail!"

What if I break off my tail?

"If you break down, I'll drink a whole case of beer right here and now!"

"Fine! You said it!"

The three guys were having a great time playing Monster Hunter, and Logan unknowingly ended up next to them watching them play.

It wasn't that he was interested in Monster Hunter, but he had started to seriously observe how the three of them played.

Even though they were just playing the game repeatedly, he had already seen them kill a monster at least seven or eight times.

But they were tireless, and he really couldn't understand that feeling.

Normally, if someone has the patience to read a novel several times, it proves that it is an excellent novel.

Does the fact that a monster in this game can be hunted repeatedly mean that the monster is as excellent as a great novel?

He was momentarily confused.

When Logan's friend saw him come over to the three of them, he said, "Logan, come and have some fun."

"No, no." Logan continued to shake his head, still expressing his refusal to play video games.

However, he seemed to have softened somewhat; at least he was now willing to take video games seriously.

It must be said that this video game is anything but childish; in fact, it's quite complex. It's not something a child can easily master, and the graphics are truly incredibly realistic.

However, this still doesn't affect his opinion on games.

"Hmm, what time is it? Is Bayonetta about to be released?" one of them suddenly asked.

Logan's friend glanced at the clock and said, "It's 11:30. We still have time. Shall we continue?"

"Let's take a break first, and then wait for the game to be officially released."

"also."

At this point, Logan asked curiously, "You guys have been talking about the new game release the whole time, and you've been waiting for it. Why did you choose to release it at midnight? Wouldn't it be better to release it during the day?"

"We pre-ordered the digital version, so we can play it in advance. If it were a physical version, we probably wouldn't be able to buy it until tomorrow morning. But the physical version also has its advantages, namely the chance to buy a physical cartridge signed by the main creative team, which is quite a rare item."

Logan's friend suddenly said excitedly, "Hey, by the way, speaking of physical cartridges, I just bought a brand new Super Mario Saga cartridge for the Super Famicom. Do you guys want to take a look?"

"NO WAY?! You actually bought it?! Show us, how much did you spend?"

Logan's friend said proudly, "Hehe, I put in a lot of effort to get this autographed version. I went to Japan specifically for this, and I even learned Japanese. I begged the secondhand shop for a long time before they agreed to sell me their prized possession."

After saying that, he got up and walked towards his study: "I'll go get it for you."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The two urged each other on impatiently.

After Logan's friend left, the two immediately started making bets.

"I bet this guy spent at least $100,000!"

"I bet it's only about $10,000. He only mentioned a signed version, but he hasn't said who signed it yet."

"Who else could have signed it? There were only so many developers back then for the Super Mario Saga on the Super FC, and every single one of them is a big name now, so it's definitely worth at least $100,000!"

"Hmm...that makes sense. I'll bet two hundred thousand dollars that if it's a signed copy by that person, it's definitely worth two hundred thousand dollars!"

Logan, who was standing to the side, was a little stunned.

A video game can sell for $100,000 or $200,000?

What is this game made of? Is it made of gold?

"You...you mean the price of video games?"

Logan finally couldn't hold back any longer at this point.

This price is almost two or three years' worth of his spending on a game, just for one game.

Should I say my friend is rich and powerful, or should I say my friend is foolish and has too much money?

The two men looked at Logan with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Logan had been somewhat withdrawn since earlier, but since Logan's friend was on good terms with the two of them, neither of them said anything.

However, now that Logan has suddenly asked them questions, and even these kinds of questions that they find extremely boring, they both feel a bit disdainful.

"Of course it's the price of video games. They're like paintings or art collectibles. A brand new, unopened game cartridge with the creators' signatures can fetch a high price!"

"Isn't this supposed to be just a bunch of data?"

One of them shrugged and said, "Then I would say that famous paintings are just a bunch of paint. It all depends on how you judge it. Maybe you really think it has no value, but in the eyes of someone who truly appreciates it, it can be priceless."

Logan felt a pang of envy once again.

If a book signed by him could fetch this price, he'd probably never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of his life.

"Here I am! Let me show you my collection!"

At this moment, Logan's friend finally came out of the study, carrying a very exquisite box. Just looking at the box, the cost of making it probably exceeded a thousand dollars, which shows how wealthy he was.

The two men immediately got up from the ground and rushed to Logan's friend, urging, "Quick, open it and see whose signature it is!"

Logan's friend looked mysterious and then deliberately opened the box very slowly.

Logan also came over to see what it was, wanting to know what kind of thing could be worth $100,000.

To the players, this box might seem like a treasure chest that's about to glow, and that's how the other two feel right now.

The moment the box was fully opened, they saw the cassette tapes inside.

It was an unopened cassette tape, still perfectly sealed in plastic wrap, with a signature on the wrap.

Congratulations on your opening, Zhuyouxing.

"Wow! It's the God of Games! This cartridge is definitely worth more than two hundred thousand dollars!"

The two exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

Logan's friend said with a smug look on his face, "It cost me a total of $370,000, and it's the only one in the world with a blessing in addition to the name. It's quite precious. If the shop hadn't been doing poorly, the owner probably would never have sold it."

Logan felt he had really learned something new; this thing could actually sell for over $300,000.

Feelings of envy and frustration filled his heart almost simultaneously, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

In the end, he forced himself to calm down.

Forget it, forget it. I'll take some time to figure out how to design the beautiful lady in my next work.

He comforted himself with this thought.

Just then, the clock struck midnight, and the three people except Logan rushed to their respective game consoles with an instant burst of excitement, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Aha! Bayonetta is out! Ms. Bayonetta! Here I come!"

Logan has witnessed firsthand the extent of the players' madness today.

He couldn't help but shake his head. To be able to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on games and be so obsessed with video games, video games really are no good.

As he thought this, he casually glanced at the brand-new game interface that several people had opened.

On that screen, he saw a scene he would never forget.

It was a woman, wearing high heels, her whole body wrapped in a dark, tight-fitting dress, with long, flowing hair and a stunningly beautiful face.

This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even though it was virtual. It was as if a switch had been flipped, and inspiration burst forth in his mind. The image of the beautiful woman who had been troubling him for so long in his new book jumped out of his mind.

The woman on the three television sets in front of him was the image of the beautiful woman he most wanted to create!
