Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Along the roadside, Toad mushrooms run around everywhere, showcasing the park's vibrant energy, making it feel like you're truly in Mario's world.

"Minister, Minister, slow down! We can't keep up! Huffing and puffing."

At this point, the formation of several people dressed as Toads was becoming somewhat unstable as they ran around.

"You young guys are actually no match for an old man like me? I have to say, you young people are really not good enough. Back when we were developing games, the whole team went out to collect inspiration from all over the place. To develop the Street Fighter series, we even visited famous mountains and rivers to learn from renowned fighting game masters."

One of the most active-looking Toad plushies makes a very smug sound.

These people are game developers at Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

When Zhu Youxing proposed building an amusement park, the game developers were quite excited.

Then they thought of playing the roles in the game on the first day, which would fulfill a dream of theirs.

Therefore, most of the dolls in the venue today are from the core developers of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have come to play this damn Toad today. Wouldn't it have been better to play a man-eating plant?"

"Heh, you think the man-eating plants are any better? Those guys can only stand there now, they're not much better off than us."

"And what about the one playing Bowser?"

"That one is even worse. They're being photographed like crazy right now and don't have a chance to rest at all."

"Seriously, why are we suffering like this? We shouldn't have volunteered."

"But this is supposed to be an extra bonus, right?"

"Really?! Then we can still bear with it!"

These people communicate within the range of short-range wireless communication, so tourists can hardly hear their conversations.

Although they complained, they were actually enjoying themselves.

This isn't something you experience every day.

It doesn't matter if I'm a little tired; it's a rare opportunity to change my mood.

The pressure of game development has been gradually increasing recently. Even though Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not follow the overtime policy, the pressure on them is very real. Even if Youxing Electronic Entertainment does not put pressure on them, they will feel that they must make good works so that they can boast to the outside world about what kind of masterpiece they have made.

Otherwise, you won't have anything to brag about to the outside world.

Returning to the visitor's perspective, after passing the central flowerbed fountain, several different paths appear behind.

These roads lead to landmarks such as Mario's Discovery Zone, Luigi's Haunted House Adventure, Wario's Manufacturing Lab, and Princess Peach's Pink Castle.

These also correspond to different types of entertainment.

When building the game, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment didn't pay much attention to costs, so each individual area has a wealth of gameplay options, and the surrounding roads are full of Mario elements.

Even the benches for resting by the roadside are decorated with Mario patterns.

The sole purpose here is to make all visitors feel as if they are truly in the world of Mario.

Then the most eye-catching part is naturally the central location of the entire theme park.

That was the largest building.

An enlarged version of a castle with red brick walls at its entrance.

No, perhaps describing it as an enlarged version is too simplistic. This building is far more complex and is a true castle with complete functions.

Inside, there will be a living room area, as well as a living area, a kitchen area, a storage area, and so on.

All of this is done to restore as much as possible what a castle should be like.

After the opening ceremony, this place will be open to players.

The castle in the very center alone is enough to keep many tourists and players entertained for at least two or three hours.

If you want to have a complete experience of the entire park, even without queuing, you'll need at least ten hours. The content is packed, just like the games produced by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. The content is rich but not monotonous or empty; instead, it offers endless fun.

"Five minutes until the opening ceremony."

In the very center, a giant clock is counting down.

That was the countdown to the opening ceremony.

The plaza directly in front of the castle was already packed with people.

Countless people gathered here, their heads thronging, all looking in the same direction.

Large screens had already been placed at many angles of the venue.

Even people standing far away can see the entire opening ceremony directly on the big screen.

"One minute until the opening ceremony."

As the Mario theme melody played, cheers erupted from the plaza.

Today's 50,000 visitors are all gamers with the deepest passion for video games.

Their cheers rose and fell like waves.

"Opening ceremony!"

At the command of the opening ceremony director, fireworks began to bloom in the sky.

Even though it was daytime, people could still vaguely see the shapes of fireworks.

Those are the familiar images of Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser.

The final character to appear was, of course, Mario.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing slowly emerged from the platform in the center of the front of the castle. He opened his arms and made a cheering gesture, which was the most carefree moment in his memory.

"A warm welcome to you, players!"

Chapter 986 The Cool Tyrant of a Migrant Worker

986

"Look everyone, this is the legendary God of Games! I finally got to be in the same frame as the God of Games!"

In the crowd, someone was excitedly live-streaming on their phone.

He turned his back to the main stage and made room for Zhu Youxing on stage, while he stood next to him.

At this moment, the popularity of his live stream is also soaring.

Unlike regular live streaming programs, this type of personal live streaming has a more distinctive style and a greater sense of authenticity, making it very popular.

Amidst the adoring gazes of countless people, Zhu Youxing has become remarkably composed.

After all, he has been through decades of life experience, and his mentality is no longer as passionate and excited as it was when he was young.

But seeing so many players cheering now, Zhu Youxing can't help but smile knowingly.

Having so many players who enjoy their game is truly the happiest time for game developers.

"Today is a special day. The world's first amusement park for gamers is born here. Without further ado, please enjoy this grand feast of the gaming park. I hope that each and every one of you can feel the fun and happiness here!"

Zhu Youxing remains as bad at public speaking as ever, especially in this kind of situation.

Of course, this is also related to his personality.

He felt that if it were him, in this sweltering heat, probably not many people would be able to stand still and listen to him ramble on from the podium.

It would be better to let the players here enjoy all the facilities in this park instead.

Amusement park, a place where there is fun is the most important thing.

Takeyusei's actions left the Japanese Prime Minister in the audience somewhat embarrassed.

He had originally hoped to perform on stage.

This is a good opportunity to showcase one's image.

However, Zhu Youxing didn't give him that chance at all.

Takeyusei knew that having the Japanese Prime Minister appear on stage would have too obvious political implications. Players would be happy to see his face because he was the God of Games, but the Japanese Prime Minister?

Sorry, we're not familiar with each other.

If the Japanese Prime Minister were to say a few words, the players' good mood would probably be dampened.

Therefore, Takeyusei no longer gives the Japanese Prime Minister the opportunity to give a speech.

However, the Japanese prime minister is not angry. The world is starting to like Japan more and more because of video games and popular culture, and his current achievements are already quite remarkable.

Moreover, it is estimated that Japan's tourism revenue will see a series of leaps every year from this year onwards.

Don't underestimate the spending power of gamers.

Nowadays, pay-to-win games have become quite popular. Although Zhuyouxing doesn't make such games, there are definitely companies that have figured out the trend and started to create such games.

This type of game fully showcases the spending power of many gamers.

It turns out that everyone here is actually quite wealthy; those who kept a low profile before actually possess very substantial financial resources.

These players are also very generous when they come across game merchandise that they like.

After Zhu Youxing finished speaking, the park's program schedule resumed.

The first event was a concert featuring variations of the Super Mario theme song.

This concert features a world-class orchestra.

Judging by their taste, they shouldn't be too interested in video games, and they were even more reluctant to perform outdoors in the hot summer.

But... well, it's because Zhu Youxing gave too much money.

However, as a musician in the band, he highly approves of the current status of video game music, noting that a significant portion of contemporary popular music originated from video games.

Even if he considers himself a classical music artist, he must at least acknowledge that video game music is gradually spreading among the public, and if they don't keep up with the times, they may be quietly abandoned by the times.

Some people do like classical music, and some people do like so-called high art, but what he, as an orchestra conductor, most desires is to make music accessible to both the refined and the common people.

The performance of the variations lasted for a full twenty minutes, covering almost all the theme songs from Super Mario and its spin-off series. Moreover, because the performers were all highly skilled, the transitions between the songs were seamless, providing players with a top-notch audio-visual experience.

Moreover, because they are an internationally renowned orchestra, they incorporate traditional classical elements into their performances, which adds depth to the music and gives the Super Mario theme music a unique atmosphere.

"I really didn't expect that video games could be so elegant when played by an orchestra."

"Of course, this is a world-class orchestra. I never expected that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment could hire such an orchestra. It must have cost a lot of money."
