Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

At the park entrance, a large van was parked to the side, and a group of people dressed in Youxing Electronic Entertainment uniforms got out of the van one after another, and began to busy themselves carrying various equipment and props.

They are a newly formed ground promotion team.

This is a new type of on-the-ground promotion method, a publicity approach mainly driven by Daejeon.

As the person in charge, he naturally led the first batch of teams to test the effectiveness of this kind of publicity.

"Even if you were ten years younger, your hair still wouldn't grow back, so there's no need to keep touching the top of your head."

A mocking voice came from behind Ota Masashi.

Ota was momentarily embarrassed, then said, "You always have to have a little bit of a dream, don't you?"

The person talking to Ota Masashi was Natsume Yasutaka, another executive director and department head in the publicity and marketing department, who held the same position as Ota Masashi and was also a veteran employee of Yusei Electronic Entertainment: "Honestly, you are more suited to being bald. Even if you grow your hair back, I still think you look better and more pleasing to the eye if you stay bald."

Unlike Ota, Natsume Yasutaka is more inclined towards professionalism and standardization.

He himself graduated from a top university and was previously the marketing director of a well-known company. He later joined the startup Youxing Electronic Entertainment because he saw its development potential.

Over the years, Natsume Yasutaka's foresight has been proven.

Over the years, countless colleagues have envied Natsume Yasutaka's decision-making.

Now that he's in a position where he doesn't need to do things personally, Ota Masashi dragged him along to promote the video game this time because he would feel bored if Ota Masashi were alone.

In the past, the two worked closely together in marketing and promotion, with one focusing on internal affairs and the other on external affairs. Their relationship was also quite good, so Natsume Yasutaka's somewhat derogatory and sarcastic manner did not anger Ota Masashi; on the contrary, he seemed rather amused.

"You really think bald looks better?"

"Yes, that's right." Natsume Yasutaka said with a serious expression.

"You're trying to fool me!"

"Hahaha."

Chapter 818 Electronic Games for All

While the two were joking around, the other employees had already finished setting up the platform.

At the entrance to the park, staff have set up a temporary platform with five arcade games on it.

At the same time, a huge banner was unfurled.

"Play video games for free! Anyone who has never played video games before is welcome to give it a try!"

As the banner was unfurled, several giant humanoid dolls were also dressed up.

Those are the images of Mario, Bowser, Toad, and other Super Mario characters.

The most popular attraction here is the Super Mario series. Each promotional area has a different theme, and those who are interested can collect promotional stamps from different regions. At a later time, all registered users will be gathered together, and one lucky winner will be chosen to receive a year's worth of free game time.

The children who were playing wildly in the park were also attracted by the commotion.

They all put down what they were doing and looked over at the commotion. After the game platform was set up, a few children mustered up their courage and came over.

"Uncles, what are you doing?"

When Ota saw the children approaching, he immediately perked up and said to Natsume Yasutaka, "Enough chatting, time for work! Let's give our game a proper demonstration!"

"Kid, you're very welcome to play games here! First of all, we offer free video games here. Do you know anything about video games?"

"Video games? Of course I know about them. My brother loves video games, but I'm not really interested."

Upon hearing this, Ota asked curiously, "Hmm? Why aren't you interested? You don't like video games as a form of expression, do you?"

The child pretended to think seriously and then answered, "Hmm... I'm just not interested, but I can't really explain why. Maybe it's because I think playing in the park is more fun?"

Ota nodded: "Yes, that is indeed a reason. But son, believe me, once you try these video games, you will definitely enjoy them as much as your brother does. As long as they bring you joy, then whether they are video games or not doesn't matter, right?"

The child nodded: "Yes, but I'm still not interested."

Ota Masashi knew from the other person's lack of interest that he had encountered someone who genuinely didn't like playing games.

But it's okay, Ota Masaka has a solution.

"Kid, do you have a favorite doll? Or something you like? If you do, you can get the gift or item you want for free by playing the game and achieving some accomplishments."

"Oh, that's so nice! Is it free?"

Ota nodded vigorously; "Of course! Adults would never lie to children."

Children's thoughts are often very simple. On Ota's recommendation, the child actually started to try going up to the platform and came to a game where Super Mario Galaxy had already been opened.

This game is quite different from some other traditional games.

The biggest difference is that you can use a separate controller to play the game.

This will inevitably require you to increase your activity range, and you won't be able to do whatever you want like you would in other games.

This limits the audience of Super Mario Galaxy to some extent.

However, anyone who tries to play the game and experiences the full scope of Super Mario Galaxy will definitely not want to miss out on such a top-tier game.

To date, Super Mario remains one of the most reviewed games on Kazuo Murakami's game review website, with nearly a million reviews.

Apart from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, most other companies would be thrilled if their games sold a million copies.

But Yusei Electronic Entertainment is different. Their games, especially those personally supervised by Takeyusei, have sold millions of copies, which is just the beginning. Tens of millions of copies have become the norm.

From the outside perspective, this company has the most stringent standards for game quality.

Super Mario Galaxy is one of its most successful works.

"Come here, kid, wave this controller, but be careful not to throw it out of your hand. Then, wave it like a magic wand to make the characters in the game fight!"

At this moment, the child who had just said he wasn't interested in video games was completely engrossed in them. He couldn't even listen to Ota's explanations and was playing the game intently on his own.

Natsume Yasutaka also came over at the right time and pulled Ota Masashi away.

"Children play games without much purpose, so don't force them to complete any tasks. As long as they are happy, that's enough."

"Oh right, this is Zhu You." Ota Masaya realized what was going on and stopped nagging the child, instead looking in another direction.

At this moment, the other game consoles have also been occupied by children and a few adults.

The games played on these consoles will vary to some extent. One of the children is currently playing a light gun simulator, which is also a flagship product of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

This game once sparked a buying frenzy in the United States, and every time it was released, it sold at least a million copies.

The original light gun set, which included the game itself, sold over 30 million copies.

After years of refinement and technological advancements, this light gun simulator now offers incredibly responsive feedback and thrilling gameplay that gets your adrenaline pumping.

Although the player at this moment is only Huanchou, he has almost forgotten who he is. Now all he can think about is how to conquer the entire map.

Next to him, playing a game, was an adult, who was also the child's father.

This father is also a die-hard gamer who enjoys playing all sorts of home console games.

Unfortunately, after having children and taking on family responsibilities, he spent more time thinking about how to maintain his family, which greatly encroached on his daily gaming life.

He hasn't played a game properly for almost two years, and he hasn't bought a single game in the past two years either.

He was really happy to be able to experience it for free today. He was initially a little annoyed that his child had brought him to the park during the holiday, which meant he didn't get enough sleep, but now he has completely given up on that feeling.

Chapter 819 Free drinks, free games

On another street in Tokyo, there is also a presence of Yusei Electronics Entertainment, which is a common route for office workers.

The game area was set up here and quickly attracted white-collar workers who were passing by.

Nowadays, these white-collar workers are mostly between twenty and thirty years old.

This age group consists almost entirely of people who experienced the most glorious period of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

As a relatively high-income group, they were able to enjoy the fun of video games a long time ago.

Like the father in the park, their daily lives have deprived them of much of the time they could have spent playing games.

During work hours, people are incredibly busy and competitive. After get off work, they still need to connect with colleagues like everyone else, drinking and eating until 11 or 12 at night, or even 2 or 3 at night.

At nine o'clock, a white-collar worker dragged his tired body out of the company.

He really wanted to go home, get some rest, and play some games.

But no, he had to go to a dinner party with his colleagues after get off work.

If he doesn't participate, he'll probably be treated as an outsider and kicked out of the inner circle.

If such a thing happens, he won't be able to stay in the company in the future.

So no matter how reluctant or unwilling he was to participate in such gatherings, he still had to bite the bullet and attend.

Just then, the office worker's phone rang.

He took out his phone, and the lock screen displayed Tifa's image from Final Fantasy. Whenever he saw Tifa on his phone, it gave him a sense of peace and made him less resistant to his work.

He saw that the person calling was his colleague, who was probably urging him to get to his destination quickly, so he answered the phone.

"Moshi moshi, sorry, I'll be there soon. If you can't wait, you can eat something first."

"Oh, you don't need to rush. We just decided to go somewhere else."

"Change locations?" The office worker was taken aback.

"That's right, a free mobile liquor stand suddenly opened nearby. We definitely have to check it out. The address is... just come here later."

Free liquor stand? Is there really such a good deal?

This sounds like it means you can drink as much as you want.

Could it be a scam or something?

However, it seems that my colleagues have already arrived at that place.

According to the location information sent by my colleague, it seems to be the busiest intersection at the time. I don't know why there would suddenly be a stall there.

Since it's just something I'm doing on the way, I might as well go and take a look.

So he started walking in that direction.
