Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Ugh, I really want to go back and finish Bayonetta.

He had bought a lot of games well in advance.

However, his work kept him almost entirely occupied with leisure activities.

This actually gave him more time to occasionally play mobile games like Candy Crush to relieve stress.

He didn't hold back even when it came to in-game purchases, which was probably a way of transferring pressure.

Even though he spends a lot of money on Candy Crush Saga, he still prefers to play real AAA games.

Unfortunately, there really weren't many opportunities.

As he pondered this, he had already reached the intersection where his destination was located.

Just as he reached the intersection, he heard a melody that was extremely familiar to him.

That's a classic melody from Final Fantasy: Crystal Overture, though the music changes slightly in different versions.

Having been familiar with the game, he quickly recognized which generation the Crystal Prelude belonged to.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core!

He played this game last year, but due to time constraints, he could only play a little bit, which became a great regret for him.

As time went by, he almost forgot about the game.

When he heard the familiar melody again, he couldn't help but start walking quickly forward.

That was a completely subconscious action.

He wanted to see what was going on and why that familiar melody was playing in the street.

In Japan, copyright control is very strict; even roadside stalls need to pay to play copyrighted music.

Places where people drink and have fun rarely play music aloud, because the copyright fees they pay are not low.

Before long, he arrived at the source of the sound.

It was a small activity area that had been temporarily set up with a steel frame.

There, you can see that there are already many people bustling around.

Is this... an arcade?

The white-collar worker suddenly felt a little dazed.

But this is a street, so why would there be a place for such an event?

With this question in mind, he then noticed a huge banner.

Play games for free, and enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks.

He opened his eyes wide, realizing it was truly absurd.

There's actually a game event going on here.

He hadn't received any prior warning. If he had known there would be such an activity area on his inevitable route, he would have plunged in without hesitation and never come out.

Forget about colleague gatherings, let's have some fun first!

But just then, several familiar people came out from inside.

"Hey! Here I am!"

The office worker noticed someone calling his name, so he turned around and saw that it was the colleagues who had called him earlier to suggest changing the meeting place.

"What are you doing..." The white-collar worker walked over, slightly surprised.

"Wow, I never expected to find a place here where you can drink for free! Since that's the case, we should definitely give it a try. But the drinks here are always snatched up very quickly. A new batch of drinks will be placed on the table every three minutes. How about we go grab some together?"

The white-collar worker seemed somewhat distracted at this moment; he was clearly completely absorbed by the sounds of the game around him.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

The office worker snapped out of her daze: "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to know why there's suddenly a place like this for playing games here."

"Oh, you mean this? I don't know either. Anyway, as long as I can drink for free, it's fine. By the way, you seem to be quite interested in video games?"

The white-collar worker replied, "Uh, I'm also quite interested in video games."

"Hmm? That's great! Our team leader is just having trouble clearing this level. Come on, I'll take you there, and you can help our team leader try to clear it!"

This person also forgot about the plan to drag the white-collar worker to grab free drinks, and pulled the other person along in one direction.

Soon, they arrived at a place where several colleagues had gathered, and their team leader was now fully engrossed in playing the game he had always dreamed of playing.

It's Bayonetta!

Chapter 820 brings the joy of the game to everyone.

820

I never expected to be able to play Bayonetta in this place.

The white-collar worker walked over almost without thinking.

At this moment, his boss was worrying about how to beat the game.

He was a beginner gamer who had just developed a slight interest in video games.

In this gradual learning process, he went from initially enjoying basic games like Candy Crush to starting to like more complex games.

They had originally planned to find a place to drink today.

But then suddenly an advertisement appeared offering free drinks and extra rewards for completing a certain game. The group leader became interested and boasted that he was certain he could get the rewards.

However, he did not expect that the game would be much more difficult than he had imagined.

Because obtaining rewards naturally requires a certain level of difficulty; it's impossible to start with a beginner's level.

Of course, if you just want to play a game, you can lower the difficulty level accordingly.

Now, the team leader is stuck in a very awkward situation.

Unable to pass the level, he was somewhat embarrassed by his boast earlier.

At this moment, he was thinking that someone should come and help him quickly. You guys are so indifferent and don't even think about helping me, the team leader, out of this predicament. It's really despicable.

However, the others didn't know anything about the video game. Seeing that even the team leader had boasted so confidently but still couldn't beat it, they were even less willing to go up and embarrass themselves.

Anyway, the law doesn't punish everyone, so the team leader can't say anything.

"Team leader, can I give it a try?"

Finally, the team leader heard the voice he had been longing for.

He turned his head and saw a subordinate he didn't know very well, but whose face seemed somewhat familiar.

"Can you do it? This game is a bit difficult."

The white-collar worker thought for a moment and then said, "I feel like I could give it a try."

"Alright, you give it a try!"

The team leader handed the controller to the white-collar worker without hesitation.

He was overjoyed to find the game he wanted to play here, especially since it was free.

For some beginner players, the difficult difficulty level of the game is definitely not easy to complete.

But this white-collar worker was a seasoned gamer; he quickly became familiar with the basic rules of the game and got the hang of it.

Just now, this white-collar worker easily passed the level that the team leader had struggled to overcome.

"Wow! That move was so cool! I didn't know this game had such cool moves!"

"This game is quite interesting, much more interesting than Angry Birds which I play on my phone."

The white-collar workers' colleagues gasped in surprise, clearly amazed by the gaming skills the worker had just displayed.

The team leader, who was standing to the side, gradually became happy as well.

His subordinates were very capable, which roughly means that he himself was also very capable.

At this moment, he couldn't help but say with a hint of pride, "See? I told you that completing the challenge would be a piece of cake!"

"The team leader is really amazing!"

"But then again, this video game looks pretty cool and realistic. The graphics are so different from several mobile games I've played."

At that moment, a slightly mocking voice came from behind.

"The games on mobile phones are at the most basic level. The production costs are not even in the same league. If you want to experience better games, you have to experience console games."

"Console games?"

"It's the game you guys are playing. But I have to say, this person is really good at the game. He seems to be a player who really enjoys playing games. So, if we're all players, then we're good friends."

Before long, the white-collar worker successfully completed the challenge level.

The rewards can be chosen freely from free game cartridges or limited-edition items.

The white-collar worker was immediately drawn to one of the prizes.

It was a signature, a collective signature from the core members of Bayonetta.

This is a really great prize!

He really wanted to win that prize.

However, he knew that his superior was still in charge here.

However, the team leader didn't care about the reward at the moment. He was just proudly showing off his subordinates' competence and had already started drinking with others.

He hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to ask his superior's opinion. He should respect his superior's defection and not overstep the line.

The team leader was quite happy. He hadn't even asked about the prizes. When he heard that his subordinate, who had made him look good, wanted a prize, he saw that he really wasn't interested in those things. So he generously let him choose whatever he wanted. This was a good way to win people's hearts.

The office worker was overjoyed and excitedly went to choose a gift.

"Hey, do you like playing games too?"

Just as the office worker was about to choose a prize, the person who had just mocked his colleague came over and struck up a conversation with him.

The white-collar worker nodded.
