Pokémon, but cultural invasion

The old man was a good person, Quanshu thought. He had received a lot of help from the committee when he participated in competitions before, so it was not easy to refuse.

In addition, accompanying Kiju to the Quartz Plateau was a side trip anyway; the only problem was the lack of manpower.

What were you looking at just now?

Qi Shu curiously leaned closer from the back seat of the vehicle.

"It's nothing, the Quartz Conference committee invited Tsubasa to move in."

Quanshu glanced at her; this girl seemed to really enjoy the cramped environment of the back seat of a taxi, even though the electric scooter Haiyan was much faster.

"That would be great, let's go to Quartz Plateau together."

Kiju laughed and said, "I heard that there are many local delicacies from all over Kanto near the venue."

"After coming to Kanto, I only visited the Golden Yellow and the Rainbow. It would be a shame not to try the food in other places."

As Quanshu chatted idly, he relaxed and thought about his past lives in his dreams.

"Delicious food! It's a pity there are no xiaolongbao in this world. I haven't had them in so long."

"Xiaolongbao, what's that?"

Qi Shu, having detected the keyword, scurried over, his voice rising two octaves.

Izumi, who had inadvertently let slip, mumbled, "It's probably a kind of pastry made by wrapping various fillings in fermented dough and then steaming it."

Qi Shu swallowed hard, his face showing a look of longing.

"The method has been lost; you can't buy it anywhere in the world."

Hearing him say that, Qi Shu gave up the idea of ​​pressing for details.

"They actually tried to tempt me with food that doesn't even exist..."

"Watch your words."

...

After deciding to move in during the Quartz Convention, Izumi contacted Rika.

On one hand, staff were selected for the newly opened physical store in Golden City, and on the other hand, some employees from the Yuhong City Tingxiang Game Store were transferred to Shiying.

To be honest, Quanshu hasn't actually visited his own game center yet, so this is a good opportunity.

The next day, he took Natsume and Kiju to Yuhong City.

Compared to a few months ago, Yuhong City has undergone significant changes, the most obvious being a substantial increase in pedestrian traffic.

After the movie Crazy Elf City became a hit, Yuhong, the filming location, became a "holy land" in the hearts of many movie fans, especially tourists from other regions, who find it hard to resist taking a look at Yuhong.

With its status as the first family-run game center in the entire region, Yuhong has quickly become the most popular tourist city in Kanto.

Locals in Yuhong prefer the flower market around the Yuhong Dojo, where you can find enjoyment even if you have no money.

"Yuhong Dojo is doing well."

Looking around the Yuhong Dojo, one sees a maze of intricate paths, with vendors and groups of tourists wandering through them. Inside, it's like a dreamlike plant palace, with countless tourists taking photos of the exotic flowers and plants.

Naz expressed her heartfelt feelings.

She rarely left Golden City and had little impression of the neighboring cities.

After losing her superpowers, Sabrina's way of thinking began to resemble that of an ordinary human, which is why she became interested in the usually quiet Saffron Gym.

Without comparison, it's fine, but seeing the bustling Yu Hong inevitably brings a sense of disappointment.

"Actually, it's all thanks to Quanshu. Not long ago, my little girl's botanical garden was deserted."

Having learned in advance that the visitors were coming, Rika led them into the flower viewing area, which was not open to the public.

If you had told her three months ago that someone could single-handedly bring about earth-shattering changes to Yu Hong, Li Jia wouldn't have believed it.

But now... let Izumi do whatever he wants.

Sitting in the pavilion, Rika brewed tea for the three of them, subtly observing the two dojo masters beside Izumi.

Qi Shu was one thing, but he had always maintained an ambiguous relationship with Ting Xiang.

What's the deal with this Golden Pavilion Master, who's known as the strongest superpowered individual and the most difficult to communicate with?

"I am truly flattered that Ms. Nazi is willing to visit."

Lijia held the teapot and poured three sips from the spout for her as a sign of respect, to which the latter's reaction left Lijia speechless.

"Thanks."

Nazi thanked him awkwardly but earnestly, as if she was still not used to talking to people, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush.

"You are a guest, so please don't mind."

A flash of shock crossed Lijia's eyes as she tried her best not to reveal her loss of composure.

The dojo master who never even glanced at her during the meeting was actually thanking her.

The shocking scene reminded Lijia of a recent hot rumor.

The rumor originated from Jin Huang, who said that Nazi had an improper relationship with a certain man, and that she was willing to close the museum to make time for it.

Lijia scoffed at this, but now, looking back, it wasn't entirely unfounded.

While it's not as outrageous as the rumors suggest, Naz has indeed undergone a significant change.

"Izumi, here is the list of candidates for game centers in various cities of Kanto, along with the store locations and plans."

The stack of paper documents that Lijia provided included evergreen, withered leaves, light red, blue, red lotus, and dark gray.

She began to examine the man who was carefully reading the proposal from a new perspective.

Leaving aside the Padiya village girl, what was she thinking when she provoked Naz?

With a psychic power capable of easily tearing through steel, aren't you afraid of being finely chopped into mincemeat if things don't go well after marriage?

"I will send someone to investigate the list after the store opens. The reason I'm talking to you today is because of a new plan."

"I want Yuhong and Jinhuang to regularly jointly host the World Tour of Tingxiang."

Quanshu gave examples: "For instance, in Tingxiang, toys include spinning top competitions and yo-yo competitions; games include speedrunning contests..."

Of course, that's not all. With the release of board games and card games, the World Tournament will take on a completely different look.

"The winner receives a generous prize, and the venue fee and ticket sales are recouped."

Yu Hong made a fortune from the spring tree, and Li Jia couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Golden yellow...

She glanced at Naz, who was sitting obediently in her seat with her gaze wandering.

Why does it feel like this guy is using Sabrina's name to act recklessly?

Chapter 107 How dare you cut off the streamer's electricity?

Yuhongting Township Game Center.

"welcome."

The automatic door closed, and the cool air that rushed in made Naz relax her brow.

She only realized that summer was hot after she lost her superpowers.

More than a month has passed, and the store is no longer as crowded as it was when it opened, but there are still quite a few customers picking out their favorite dolls.

"Charge, Blazing Roaring Tiger!"

Two children, each holding a launcher, were crouching next to a battle platform on the side of the entrance, where two uniquely designed spinning tops were colliding fiercely.

"My katana is not afraid of you."

On a low table a little further away, various parts were scattered around, and a group of children were chatting enthusiastically around a skilled hand assembling a spinning top.

The topic was how to assemble a spinning top to make it spin longer and have greater destructive power.

"Don't even think about taking toys from children."

Quanshu pulled back the restless Qishu, puffing out her cheeks in a huff: "Why didn't you tell me before that spinning tops could be assembled and played with?"

Qi Shu's gaze was quickly drawn to the large screen in front of the sofa in the lobby, which showed a couple walking together.

The two young men, like friends, sat at opposite ends of the sofa, pressing the handles without saying a word.

"Wow, they play two-player games without talking, that's amazing."

"Shh-"

Quanshu really wanted to shut her up, but considering that Qishu had never heard the story of five people sitting together in an internet cafe and becoming more and more silent as they fought, please forgive her.

Yo-yos and Rubik's Cubes, which are more difficult than spinning tops, only have diagrams, and not many children can master them.

Most of them gathered in the video game area, with a few onlookers around each machine.

Fruit Ninja, Snake, Candy Crush, Link-Link, Sokoban... and many other classic games.

With a few card games filling the empty board game area, the game center will be more complete.

After asking Kiju and Naza to wait a moment, Izumi entered the shop to meet the shop manager.

"Hello Mr. Izumi, I am the agent recommended by Miss Rika."

Misa was a young woman in her mid-twenties, and she introduced herself respectfully and nervously.

I learned from the moment I joined the company that the person in charge of Tingxiang had the power to appoint and dismiss store managers. I wonder if he is satisfied with my efforts over the past month.

"From now on, you are the official store manager. Starting tomorrow, some of the store staff will be selected to work at the Quartz Convention. The stay will not be too long; the main task will be to sell peripheral dolls and toys."

"The subsidies are very generous, and registration is primarily voluntary."

After issuing the appointment, Quanshu began to check the store's cash flow and sales records.

In the first few days, some of the dolls sold out, and the toy factory worked overnight to make up for the shortfall.

From product manufacturing and transportation to sales, there are no middlemen taking a cut, and the brand effect brings amazing profits.

"Well done, I hope you keep it up in the future."

Misha, relieved after the boss's inspection, asked, "Would you like me to show you around the shop?"

"No need, let's select personnel as soon as possible. I'll just wander around."

That's right, all these games were created by him, no introduction needed.

After Izumi left, Misa took out the list and began the selection process.

...

Unable to wait any longer, Qishu happily played Fruit Ninja for the next ten minutes.

"How old are you? Still taking the kids' computers to play with."

Quanshu gently chopped her on the head.

"it hurts!"

Qi Shu covered his head and blinked hard, trying to squeeze out a few tears, but to no avail, so he had to give up.

"Besides, don't we already have these games at home?"

Qi Shu argued, "Actually, it was Naz who wanted to try out this big touchscreen, so I grabbed it for her."

"Is that so?" Izumi looked at Nazu.

"this..."

Naz nodded slowly as Qi Shu winked at her.

"You are not allowed to coerce Naz."
