Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

He sat cross-legged on a small futon, his eyes fixed on a 30-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall, which was showing the Legend of Zelda game from the Famicom.

This is his favorite game. He has been staying at home playing it since the winter vacation started and hardly ever goes out.

His father was a lifelong employee of Surui Electronics, belonging to the middle class. His mother died early, and at fourteen, he was at the age of rebellion. In addition, his father worked overtime all year round and rarely communicated with his son. It seemed that video games became his only fun.

Just as he was engrossed in playing The Legend of Zelda, a ringing sound came from the desktop computer in the corner.

With his keen hearing, he immediately pressed the pause button on the controller and then went to the computer to check the information.

He skillfully manipulated the mouse to open the webpage that had been hanging for a while. A private message notification kept popping up. After clicking on the private message notification, a dialog box popped up.

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "Hello, I've seen many of your posts on the forum and it seems you know a lot about video games. Are you interested in setting up an online media outlet that specializes in reviewing video games?"

The boy frowned slightly.

Who is this?

Nintendo? World Dominator?

Who is Nintendo? And why is it the world's ruler?

The boy was completely baffled by the name.

Of course, the name is not important.

This person is talking about setting up an online media outlet specifically for evaluating video games?

He was stunned for a moment after seeing the message.

Then he began typing rapidly with both hands.

Super Gaming Elite: "Who are you?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "I'm just a pure gamer like you, but I'm also very interested in reviewing games. I wonder if you've ever thought about forming a group specifically for reviewing games?"

Is this a group that reviews games...?

The boy began to ponder.

He loves games, and he also enjoys sharing his thoughts and opinions about games online.

Moreover, he feels a sense of accomplishment whenever someone responds online and resonates with him, or whenever someone thanks him for recommending a game.

This is much more interesting than those boring and tedious studies at school every day.

So he started typing on the keyboard again.

Super Gaming Elite: "The review group you mentioned, is it an organization that specifically plays games and then writes reviews?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "That's right, and then everyone writes similar articles to what you wrote on the forum and posts them online, and you can also make some money this way."

It looks quite interesting.

Super Gaming Elite: "You say I can make money? Who's going to pay me?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "It will definitely not be easy to make money at first, but your forum already has about a thousand daily visitors, which is a considerable achievement. If you make good use of it, you can definitely support yourself with just those thousand visitors."

Super Gaming Elite: "Tell me more about it."

The boy clearly didn't dare to imagine that he could make money by reviewing games.

However, he is quite interested in opportunities to make money. He usually stays at home, while other people his age are starting to think about working to earn money. But he has no intention of doing such a thing because he hates the boring kind of work, even more so than studying.

But it's a different story if you can make money online.

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "First of all, I think you can position yourself as an opinion leader, an opinion leader who helps players choose games. Through this identity, you can actively approach game companies to ask for early access to some games. In this way, testers like you who can play games in advance will be more sought after. When there are more people who are sought after, people should start to consider asking you to do advertising, and then start making money. That's roughly the model."

This guy sounds pretty reliable, but wait a minute, didn't he just say that his identity gives him a chance to get early access to the latest game? Get the game earlier than everyone else?

impossible.

Super Gaming Elite: "You're saying I can get early access to play the latest games? Is that even possible?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "It all depends on your eloquence. But judging from your writing, you seem to have good speaking skills, so the chances of convincing the game company to grant you early access to the game are quite high."

The boy was moved by what he was told.

Gaining early access to the game seems far more tempting than making money.

After all, he wasn't really short of money.

Super Gaming Elite: "Why did you suddenly contact me?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "Because you already have a group of fans, it's obviously easier to succeed."

Super Gaming Elite: "So what benefits will you gain from this?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "Benefits? If I had the chance, I would love to have the opportunity to experience the game early. It's just my only dream as a player. I don't lack money, I just want to have the opportunity to play the game early. I'm a little tired of queuing for days every time a popular game is released."

Upon learning that the other person was a dedicated gamer, the boy's liking for him immediately increased, while his suspicions lessened slightly.

This person doesn't seem like a scammer, at least not yet, as no one has mentioned trying to swindle money from him.

So... perhaps we could try following his suggestion?

Super Gaming Elite: "You just want to get early access to the game with me? You don't want anything else?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "That's right, so you don't need to worry about me being a scammer, because I won't scam you out of any money. We can even never meet. You just need to mail me the latest games each time, and then we can communicate only online. I'm just a pure gamer, and I just want to be a pure gamer."

Chapter 94 Stereotypes

Zhu Youxing has no intention of revealing his identity, so he will simply keep this alt account hidden and provide some guidance at the appropriate time.

My online identity has always remained that of a pure player, seeking neither money nor fame, but simply the purest identity of a player.

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "I suggest you go to Yusei Electronics Entertainment from the start. They have very few opportunities to promote their games, so they probably wouldn't mind a player like you who already has more than a thousand loyal fans."

The boy became increasingly tempted, and finally he made up his mind.

Super Gaming Elite: "Okay, I'll give it a try. But you, do you really just want the chance to play various games ahead of time? You're not going to ask me for money or anything, are you?"

Nintendo is the damn world ruler: "Of course not, I can assure you that if you are rejected, we can pretend this conversation never happened, and if you succeed, all I need is a chance to experience the game ahead of time."

Having received another affirmative reply and confirmed that the other party did not seem to be a swindler, the boy no longer hesitated. He immediately got dressed and prepared some materials to prove his abilities.

He felt he had never been so proactive before.

Perhaps video games are something he really enjoys, and people are always more motivated when faced with things they like.

I took the subway to the outskirts of Tokyo and found the exact location of Yusei Electronics Entertainment according to the address.

This place has now become a sacred place in the hearts of many players.

Every now and then you can see people running over to take photos at the entrance; that's probably what it's like to be a fan of a celebrity.

Unlike them, he had serious business to discuss with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and he suddenly felt more confident in himself.

Just like that person on the internet said, he already has more than a thousand stable fans, and the number will increase. Youxing Electronic Entertainment will not refuse such a good opportunity to advertise, and he may also be able to achieve the goal of getting close to his idol.

If... if we could see the best producer at Yusei Electronics Entertainment, that is, the president, that would be even better.

With this in mind, he walked through the doors of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Since the company has long been accustomed to people taking photos in front of the door, there are now people specifically assigned to help clear the way at the entrance to prevent unauthorized people from entering the company or affecting the normal work of the company's employees.

As the boy walked toward the door, the security guard at the door immediately became alert.

"Hello, are you a guest with a reservation or a tourist just passing by?"

"Ah, I wanted to discuss some collaboration matters with Yusei Electronic Entertainment."

The boy seemed a little uneasy.

He had never experienced such a situation before, so he was somewhat nervous.

"Discussing cooperation?"

The security guard looked the boy up and down.

Is this person still a minor? How can a minor discuss cooperation?

They're probably planning to trick them into infiltrating the company.

There have been many people like this before.

However, these people cannot be refused outright. According to the company's superiors, these are their loyal customers and should be treated seriously. Even if they are refused, it should not be considered rude.

Therefore, the security guards can only politely refuse the teenager.

"I'm very sorry, child, but the company is very busy right now. As you know, because of the popularity of video games, the company's employees are often too busy to deal with cooperation matters. Perhaps when you grow up... when you're an adult, there will be opportunities to discuss cooperation?"

"Adult? What? No, no, no, I'm really here to discuss cooperation. I know that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is currently lacking in publicity and promotion channels. I already have at least a thousand supporters, so I think I can help you with your promotion."

The boy quickly produced several sheets of paper that he had printed out before the trip.

That record shows the number of users visiting the forum he set up.

"Look, my forum has a thousand people online every day, and the daily pageviews are close to ten thousand. Don't you think a forum with several thousand people like that should have great promotional potential?"

The security guard frowned as he looked at the documents.

He doesn't understand these things.

If he could understand it, he wouldn't just be a security guard.

"Um... I'm sorry, I don't really understand it, so I can't let you in."

In fact, if an adult dressed in a suit and tie had appeared at that moment, the security guard would not have been so dismissive; at the very least, he would have entered the company to consult with the receptionist or other superiors.

The main problem is that this is just a teenager. No matter what documents he presents, they are not very credible. Even if the teenager talks until he rambles on, he cannot convince the security guard.

The boy was somewhat disappointed.

Before he came, he had guessed that he would probably have a hard time getting into Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

He had the courage to come over mainly because of the encouragement from that user online, who assured him that Youxing Electronic Entertainment would definitely be interested in his forum.

Looking back now, I realize I was being a bit too optimistic.

"I'm sorry, child."

Because of their superiors' rules, they cannot be too rude, even to children.

Fortunately, the boy was not willing to dwell on the matter.

Unable to get in, he had no choice but to return home disappointed.
