Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

"Pretty perfect."

This is Zuo Zhen’s evaluation of Mengchen.

This version of Mega Man is almost the same game Zuo Zhen remembers from his childhood.

When Zuo Zhen introduced the overall settings of Rockman to Yu Mengchen, he did not deliberately give Yu Mengchen too many restrictions.

I just asked Yu Mengchen to be as cartoony as possible when drawing the images of Mega Man and monsters.

Just like Squirrel War, don't be more violent and bloody like Contra.

In this era, the mainstream of game playing is still children. Even if a mature game rating system has not yet been established, adults overseas will still consider the audience of children when purchasing.

The style of the game Mega Man makes it the first choice for adults to give children gifts without hesitation.

Yu Mengchen was very happy to be praised by Zuo Zhen.

What you do is meaningful and recognized by others.

Then you can keep doing it.

Many of the things she had done before this had been denied.

The fictional landscape painting she painted was beautiful, but was criticized by the teacher as not being realistic. The teacher hoped that she should be closer to reality. Now is not the time for fantasy.

She is often deliberately ignored by her brothers in the family, and sometimes suppressed, as if she is afraid that she will rob them of their resources.

Really only Zuo Zhen can give her positive feedback now.

This reminded her of the meal two nights ago, and her face began to turn slightly red.

Zuo Zhen copied the completed Mega Man to the new hard drive, then stood up and said: "This game is in its best condition now, so I will copy this game now and prepare to bring it to Japan."

"Well, come on, this game we have worked so hard to make will definitely succeed!" Yu Mengchen clenched his little fists and looked encouraging.

"Whether it's successful or not, let's put it aside for now. Speaking of which, is there anything you want? Since I'm going to Japan, I have to bring some gifts to our No. 2 employee."

"Ah, can I have a gift?" Yu Mengchen seemed a little surprised.

"Of course. It's hard to go abroad once, so I have to bring something back with me. Although I should be able to go abroad often in the future."

"So what do you want?"

Yu Mengchen hesitated: "It's not easy to spend money on that."

"It doesn't matter. You are an excellent employee after all. You have made two excellent games: Squirrel Wars and Mega Man. I feel bad if you don't give me something in return."

"Then...then you can bring whatever you want, I like them all."

"Okay, then I'll just choose whatever I want. I don't think I won't like it when the time comes."

"No." Yu Mengchen shook his head vigorously, "I like whatever you bring."

After saying that, Yu Mengchen seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what he said, and quickly added: "I mean, whatever gift you bring is from your heart. I must like it very much."

…

In the next few days, Zuo Zhen's visa and passport applications were finally completed, so Zuo Zhen immediately bought a ticket to Japan and took a plane to Japan alone.

For most people, traveling abroad is a very new thing.

But for Zuo Zhen, it was very ordinary.

In his previous life, he often traveled around the country and abroad.

At first, I was learning game production experience everywhere, and later I was running around to start a company and take on large-scale game production projects overseas.

In the end, he died on the plane before crossing over.

Hmm...it shouldn't fail this time.

I hope...

Zuo Zhen thought so and became a little nervous when flying.

If this really happened again, there would really be no way to deal with it.

But in the end, it was a safe journey. After all, airplanes are still one of the safest means of transportation in the world, but if there is an accident, it will definitely lead to death.

The plane landed in Tokyo.

This time there are no restrictions on traveling companions, and the visa period lasts for half a month. Zuo Zhen does not have to rush for time, so he is much more relaxed at the moment.

"Wow, this is Tokyo. This city is so prosperous."

Just after getting off the plane, someone next to Zuo Zhen heard an exclamation of surprise.

"Hey little brother, don't you think so?" After the man sighed, he found that no one agreed with him, so he went directly to the nearest Zuo Zhen to talk to him.

"well enough."

Zuo Zhen didn't take it seriously.

"Are you okay? There is no big city like this in our country. Look at these high-rise buildings, look at these streets, and these cars. This is the first time I have seen so many cars."

"Sooner or later these will be available in China."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Zuo Zhen shrugged, not caring about the other party's doubts.

Japan has been unable to survive for a few years.

Signing the Plaza Accord is destined to bring them to an end.

Then what greets them is the lost thirty or even forty years.

In turn, it began to flourish in China.

It doesn't make much sense to say this kind of thing now. It is estimated that even if it is said, no one will believe it, so Zuo Zhen won't waste that time.

The person who sighed came here to join a relative. It seems that the relative is doing well here. I heard that he is making a lot of money and is working as a chef in a restaurant.

Zuo Zhen could only wish him good luck for showing off, and then left the airport alone to head to the NGS headquarters in Kyoto.

It's afternoon now, so it's probably just right to go find Akira Nakamura. You can get together with Akira Nakamura in the evening and ask about the recent situation from him.

Zuo Zhen first called Nakamura Akira. Nakamura Akira immediately said that he would go to Zuo Zhen in the evening and told Zuo Zhen not to worry. He had already booked a table at a Japanese restaurant in Japan and would treat Zuo Zhen well.

After finding the hotel where he was staying, Zuo Zhen went through the check-in procedures and went to the address agreed upon with Akira Nakamura.

"Zuo Zhen-san, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Welcome to Japan again!"

At night, Akira Nakamura had put on a casual outfit, completely different from the suits and leather shoes he wore during the day.

Akira Nakamura enthusiastically took Zuo Zhen into the restaurant. After ordering a few dishes, he started talking about the game.

"Zuo Zhensang, after we hung up last time, the sales volume of Contra was quite good. In twenty days, we sold all the remaining 200,000 copies. This is really beyond our imagination. Expected.”

Normal games will quickly fall back after the first week of sales.

Only a handful of games will explode in the future.

The game Contra has become one of the very few.

Akira Nakamura was once again glad that his original choice was correct.

If he hadn't agreed to cooperate with Zuo Zhen, this game result would not have been attributed to him.

Zuo Zhen was also very happy to hear the news.

Three hundred thousand, that's even better than what I expected before coming.
