Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 38 overcrowded entertainment hall

  Chapter 38 The overcrowded entertainment hall

   In the end, Tsuchiya Sansuke signed a sharing contract with Take Yuxing, but Tsuchiya Sansuke did not want the 180,000 monthly salary in the contract. He already felt that he had earned it, but Zhu Yuxing would still execute according to the contract.

   At the same time, the two parties have also drawn up another authorization contract.

  Tsuchiya Sansuke will become the only designated artist of Dragon Quest, and he will be bound for life, and he will serve Dragon Quest for at least thirty or fifty years.

In addition to authorizing the designated artist, Zhu Yuxing also authorized the future Dragon Quest derivative comics and animation works to this comic magazine, which also shows a cooperation intention, and they will also promote Dragon Quest with all their hearts. , which is equivalent to a free publicity channel.

   And in the future, when Zhu Yuxing still needs an artist like a cartoonist, the magazine society will do its best to cooperate and help to connect.

   Take Yusei and Tsuchiya Sansuke agreed to draw a promotional poster one week before the release date, which will be used for the first publicity of the game console when it is officially released.

   Finally, the promotional covers of several other games were also handed over to the magazines and asked them to contact the artist.

In addition to Dragon Quest, other games only need two or three original promotional pictures. This is very simple. The cartoonist can do it in his spare time and earn some extra money. No cartoonist will refuse. Ikeda Dawu Now happy to be the middleman.

   After all this was finalized, Zhu Yuxing went back.

  Ikeda Daigo and Tsuchiya Sansuke were also happily discussing each other.

   "Tsuchiya-sensei, this story outline is really good, you have to work hard, as for the swordsman legend..."

   "Stop it. In fact, I already knew that I should be cut in half, but you have been taking care of me, thank you very much."

  Tsuchiya Sansuke bowed deeply to Daigo Ikeda.

  Ikeda Daigo said quickly: "No no no, Mr. Tugu has always been excellent, but sometimes it's just that luck is not very good."

  Tsuchiya Sansuke straightened up again, and then clenched the setting book in his hand.

   "I'll go back now and draw the original promotional artwork, and then start refining the story of Dragon Quest."

   "Come on, Mr. Tugu."

   After Tsuchiya Sansuke also left, the editors all came together.

   "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Tugu looks very happy, what did you talk about?"

   After the three of Zhu Yuxing met, they went directly to a separate room to discuss, so the editors could not know what happened.

   Until now, they came over curiously to ask.

  Ikeda Dawu smiled mysteriously: "You guys just wait, now we can only keep it a secret for now."

   In the contract, there is also a clause that requires confidentiality in the early stage, so Ikeda Daigo can't say anything now.

   In order to divert the editor's attention, he also remembered another thing by the way, and he would go to the entertainment hall today.

   He wanted to see for himself what that video game was all about.

   "Let's go, just after get off work, I'll take you to an interesting place."

   "Wow, the editor-in-chief is going to treat me. Which karaoke are we going to today?"

   These editors quickly ignored Mr. Tsuchiya.

   "There's a very good one in Shibuya. Editor-in-chief, let's go there! I'll pay for the taxi."

  “There is also a new one in Shinjuku…”

   Everyone started chatting and discussing, and Dawu Ikeda immediately interrupted everyone.

   "I won't sing today, I'll take you to play video games."

   "Video games? What is that? A place to percussion electronic instruments?"

   Everyone looked at each other.

   "In short, you'll know when you go."

   Actually, Daigo Ikeda didn’t even know what it was, he had to go to find out.

   However, when they went, Daigo Ikeda realized that he was thinking too easily of video games.

   The video game he envisioned should be a brand-new entertainment that has just emerged. It is estimated that the public does not know much about it, and presumably not many people play it.

   But it is.

   It is seven o'clock in the afternoon, which is the time when many companies commute from get off work.

   Normally, most people should go home for dinner, or go to twos and threes with colleagues to have some snacks to communicate with each other.

   Places such as entertainment halls and karaoke are their main venues only after ten o'clock.

   But now.

   Ikeda Daigo almost thought he had come to the wrong place.

   "Hey! Stand in line! Be careful I'll beat you!"

   "Please don't jump in the queue. You queue up according to the ticket number. It's useless for you to jump in the queue."

   "Yeah! You stepped on my foot!"

   Don’t talk about the huge crowds, we can only say that it is overcrowded.

  At the door, more than a dozen game machines were placed outside, and there were at least 20 people queuing behind each game machine.

  Besides, there is also a clerk who keeps repeating the demo and promotion of the game.

  The season of early spring is not too cold, but this is the first time in his life that he has seen customers line up outside the store to play.

   However, he soon realized that it was because the shop was already packed with more people.

  Those are all people looking at game consoles with their necks up.

   There will be cheers and boos from time to time.

   "Editor-in-chief, is this an entertainment hall? Why is it so popular?"

   "I've been to this store before, but it's not like this."

   Several editors around Daigo Ikeda were also shocked.

   "This group is crazy because of video games."

   At this moment, a cold girl's voice came from behind them.

   They looked back and found a girl who was covering herself up far away in a place where no one was around. The most striking thing should be the silver hair exposed under the hood.

   "This lady..." Ikeda Daigo wanted to get closer and ask something.

   But the girl suddenly raised her hand and looked like she was stopping her.

   "Stop, just stand there, don't come any closer."

   "Uh... well."

   "Lady, do you know a lot about video games?"

  Girl "I also just came this morning, and I've been waiting here for a day now."

   Ikeda Daigo was taken aback.

   "So popular? Haven't you experienced it for a day in line?"

   The girl said a little embarrassedly: "It's not all for this reason, it's me... I don't really want to get into the crowd."

  Ikeda Daigo didn't understand why, but it relieved him a little.

  Then the girl pointed to a clerk not far away who was constantly giving out receipts: "If you want to experience video games, you can go there to get a receipt, and then you can play it when it's your turn."

"Thank you."

   Ikeda Daigo nodded slightly, then walked towards the clerk who issued the receipt with his editors.

   Of course, he didn't go to collect the receipt. Zhu Yuxing told him that he could find the store manager here, and the store manager would let them experience it directly without queuing.

   Tsukino Aya, who had covered herself tightly, looked at more and more people with a slight fear in her heart.

   Finally she sighed.

  I really want to leave, it's freezing cold here and there are so many people.

   But, I really want to play.

   But you can't get too close to others, otherwise...

   She trembled, and finally gritted her teeth and decided to wait.

   Maybe wait until two or three o’clock in the middle of the night, there will be a lot less people here.
