Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

An older man was consulting with a psychologist. He had many hidden secrets in his heart and couldn't help but confide them. The psychologist patiently guided the man and told him to come back another day because he had other clients to attend to. Clearly, the money the man had paid was not enough for the psychologist to devote himself fully to him.

The man stood up, walked out of the psychiatrist's house, and then casually sat down on a bench by the sea.

An atmosphere of vicissitudes, typical of an older man, immediately filled the air.

As a father, I immediately felt a sense of resonance upon seeing this scene.

He may not have had the same harrowing experiences as the older man, but consulting a psychologist and sharing his family troubles and personal anxieties is quite similar to his current situation.

This father has a family that is not perfect.

The youngest son is not yet ten years old, but he already shows signs of rebellion.

The eldest son is a complete rebellious teenager. That brat only knows how to go out and chase women all day long. He has no interest in studying at all. If this continues, the eldest son will eventually fall to the bottom of society.

However, he was helpless against it, just like Mike in the game.

Then, the plot of the game changed again. Two black men were talking almost non-stop in the distance, and then the camera switched from the old man to the two black men.

Ok?

Oh, by the way, this game has multiple main characters.

The father was puzzled at first, but quickly realized that the game had multiple protagonists, which was also a selling point in the game's previous promotions.

Those racial groups also love to use this point to praise the game.

However, he dismissed this idea, believing that the quality of a game shouldn't be judged by that standard.

He even felt that Youxing Electronic Entertainment had become somewhat decadent, and had even begun to succumb to these unnecessary political correctnesses.

He will definitely continue playing the game, but compared to the two black characters, he still prefers the character Mike.

He then decided to focus more on Mike, because he saw a reflection of himself in Mike.

He had a slight sense of anticipation to see what Mike's future life would be like, and at the same time, he wondered if he could see some of his own future in Mike.

The second protagonist is named Franklin, and his partner is named Lamar. Their task is to secretly steal the two cars.

This plot is so American!

The father wore a somewhat sarcastic smile.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment doesn't seem to have yielded too much in this regard; they still accurately portray some of the problems in society through video games.

Huh?

This car theft plot is actually quite interesting.

The car theft plot requires the use of new game features: stealth and stealthy assassination.

Of course, this wasn't a real assassination; it was just a surprise attack.

Clearly, this game has adopted some of the systems from Metal Gear Solid.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has created some very classic stealth games, and they are adept at applying some of the features of stealth games to other games.

This part of the infiltration gameplay is very impressive; most companies would find it difficult to achieve this level, and it's quite fun to play.

If this is how most of the gameplay is for the Black protagonist, then this father would like to play the character a little more.

Because stealth games are becoming increasingly rare these days, or rather, they've been broken down and integrated into large open-world games, it's not easy to find a truly authentic stealth game anymore.

After that, he successfully stole the car and drove off with the protagonist, Lamar.

The two then ran to a car dealership, traded the stolen car with the owner, and took a sum of money, thus ending their job.

The cooperation between the two parties only went as far as stealing cars, with money being exchanged for goods.

Wait a minute, my bicycle was stolen a couple of days ago. Is someone doing something like that?

The father couldn't help but have some doubts.

Damn it, I hope I don't catch which bastard stole my bike. If I find out, I'll break their legs!

The father was playing the game while reflecting on his real-life situation.

For some reason, he found that many aspects of the game's plot were similar to his own.

Does this mean that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has become so precise that it can analyze what kind of group their players are?

He also began to look forward to the game more and more.

Next, there's another storyline involving a Black man, where the previous car dealership owner asks him to retrieve a motorcycle.

Here comes another very ironic scene.

The two guys who did the dirty work didn't feel ashamed of their work. Instead, the fact that the car dealership owner gave the protagonist the title of best employee caused the protagonist's partner, Lamar, to become dissatisfied.

He believed he was the one who worked harder, and launched a barrage of verbal attacks.

The shop owner was making empty promises to the two men and urging them to find the motorcycle first, saying that everything else could be dealt with later.

Rama could only suppress her dissatisfaction for the time being and go with the male protagonist to retrieve the motorcycle.

This game experience is more exciting than the previous car theft, because this time it's a proper gunfight.

The male protagonist went to the location of the motorcycle but found it was not there. Then, a group of gang members suddenly appeared and blocked their way, so the two began to fight each other.

Honestly, the father felt that the plot was a bit outrageous, but games are meant to serve the gameplay and fun, so thinking about it that way, it wasn't such a big deal.

It has to be said that the gameplay in this storyline is quite enjoyable. Eliminating enemies is like cutting melons and vegetables. Most of the enemies were quickly wiped out. Finally, the enemy leader saw that things were not going well and drove away, but he could not escape the pursuit of the protagonist and his partners.

The father felt that these two guys were good enough to be top-notch henchmen for yakuza groups, so why bother being petty thieves and hooligans?

That was incredibly powerful; they wiped out an entire gang.

The game quickly catches up with the fleeing gang leader, kills him, and obtains a motorcycle. The protagonist curses and says that killing the gang leader is not conducive to debt collection, but he doesn't care about killing anyone, clearly having completely disregarded life and death.

This is quite similar to the current situation in the United States. The US is becoming increasingly outrageous, especially given the global economic downturn, which makes this madness even more exaggerated.

It really is... so similar to this world, it's so real.

Also, the character Mike in the game is very similar to my own life.

Chapter 1175 The Thrill of Ingenious Ideas

The father felt as if he had unknowingly played until late at night, and in the end, due to his age, he could not resist the invasion of sleep and had no choice but to prepare to get up and play again the next day.

The storyline in this game seems to have a magical quality.

He played very slowly throughout the night because there were many different kinds of fun in the game besides the main storyline.

Fishing, playing cards, going to strip clubs, experiencing high society life.

You can also take on all sorts of jobs, just like in Cyberpunk 2077. You can temporarily detach yourself from the main storyline and be a law enforcement officer, but in the end, your identity will always be exposed, and you will be wanted by the whole city, and then you will have to escape again.

As for the main storyline, he only played up to the early part where the two male protagonists met, and then the plot where the first male protagonist, Mike, was about to discover that he had been cheated on.

He felt that the content in this game was so realistic, it was like his second life.

In reality, he also has a somewhat troublesome family, unruly children, and a wife with whom he is currently experiencing a marital crisis.

However, his wife isn't as bad as the one in the game; she hasn't gone so far as to cheat on him.

As he played, he became a little sentimental, but he still wanted to play.

Because in the game he can do things he can't do in real life, and vent things he can't vent in real life.

For example, trying every means to get rid of those capitalists.

The father woke up early the next morning.

He discovered that he had been dreaming all night about his life in Los Santos.

It felt like I had really become Mike in the game, and then spent a terrible day that was also a bit thrilling.

He found himself somehow not hating that awful family life anymore.

Because in Los Santos, at least one has some outlets for venting, making life more thrilling and exciting.

Speaking of which, could I perhaps consider a more thrilling and exciting life?

Of course, it's not like in a game where you can just rob and commit crimes all the time; instead, it's about doing something more reasonable.

"Honey, how about we have a serious talk?"

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he turned his head and glanced at the bedside, wanting to talk to his wife, with whom he had been having a strained relationship for half a year.

However, when he turned his head, he found that his wife had already disappeared from the bedside.

He couldn't help but sigh; he seemed to have gotten somewhat used to this kind of life lately.

As the arguments escalated, his wife's only activity each day was sleeping in the same bed with him.

When I go to sleep, my wife goes to sleep early, but when I wake up, she has already left and I don't know where she has gone.

She should either go to a dance class or find a place to vent her frustrations like everyone else.

He picked up his phone from the side, sat on the edge of the bed, and dialed his wife's number while smoking a cigarette.

However, he was met with a busy signal; his wife clearly didn't want to answer his call.

So he settled for second best and started sending text messages.

If the phone call doesn't go through, then at least your wife should glance at the text message.

He felt that he had never been good at writing or poetry, and that his relationship with his wife at the time was probably more of an impulse.

But after living together for so many years, it would be a lie to say there are no feelings involved. However, there will always be an emotional crisis, which seems to be an unavoidable problem for most people.

He had already given up on himself and didn't even react much to his wife's idea of ​​separating from the family and getting a divorce, as if he had already resigned himself to his fate.

But when he saw Michael's life in Rogue 5, he seemed to be touched in some way.

So, unusually, he wrote a very long text message with a lot of rambling words, sent it out, and then remembered that he still had games to play.

Video games were a rare haven for him, a refuge from reality.

He stood up, got dressed, quickly washed up, and then went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he found his eldest son already sitting in front of the TV, engrossed in playing Cyberpunk 2077.

At that moment, an inexplicable anger rose within him, and he felt a strong urge to do something.

But soon he remembered Mike in the game. He wasn't the only one having a bad day; Mike in the game was having a bad day too.
