Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 1156 Lost...

There are still three days until the Olympic Games will start.

The whole of Tokyo has entered a very excited state.

Even TV Tokyo, a TV station that only broadcasts cartoons and e-sports all year round, has begun to broadcast Olympic-related programs.

Many viewers shouted that TV Tokyo has changed its flavor and is becoming vulgar and following the mainstream.

However, the increase in ratings is real.

Even though most citizens hold a pessimistic attitude towards the Olympic Games, they still hope that the Olympic Games can bring some changes to their existing lives, even if it is only a little change.

After more than two decades of economic downturn, the Japanese have become more and more decadent.

In the beginning, when the bubble burst, everyone was hoping that the crisis would pass soon.

Then ten years passed, and the Japanese called it the lost decade.

At this time, the older generation is still a little unwilling, and still wants to regain the glory of Japan.

Twenty years later, Japan is still the same, except that industries such as games and animation have actually expanded to the world, forming a global influence, allowing Japan to hang on to the last sliver of dignity.

At this time, the older generation has gradually aged, and some have passed away. They no longer have the courage to dare to fight, and what is left is only loss and depression.

As for the younger generation, as long as they can remember, Japan was already in decline. They had no chance to experience Japan's once glitzy days, and they could occasionally learn about Japan's past glory from the media and the Internet, but that's far from it. They are far away.

All they can see is Japan with feathers all over the place.

Combined with video games and anime, the otaku are all the rage in Japan, where they continue to this day.

However, this year is very different.

An old man over seventy years old is standing on the streets of Japan, and not far away, a group of retro hot girls are excitedly taking selfies.

The idols are working hard for their future in one of the corners. It seems that Japan is still immersed in the lost era and is still sinking.

But in other places, it has a different scenery.

The old man bent his body and looked around.

This street has his deep and incomparable memory.

He used to be a construction worker, the kind that builds city roads.

This bustling street has a part that he once participated in.

He still remembers very deeply that a foundation on the side of the street was laid by him.

He has witnessed the glory of Japan with his own eyes.

In the 1970s, he was in full swing, striving for a better future.

Earlier, he had witnessed the rise of Japan because of an Olympic Games, established national self-confidence, and since then has its own position in the forest of the world.

Later, in the craziest years, he chose to resign from his position as a worker and become a real estate investor.

At that time... people seemed to have gone crazy, dreaming unrealistic dreams.

But when the dream broke, everything looked so cold.

hiss~

The old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the surrounding air.

The air was mixed with car exhaust and some indescribable smells, but he missed it very much.

Because this bad air on the contrary represents the thriving development of the city.

He hadn't smelled it for a long time.

"Wow! You are a famous diver, right? Can I take a photo with you? I like you very much!" A young girl happily ran to a handsome foreigner, holding a pen and paper, hoping to get an autograph .

The foreigner didn't understand Japanese, but he could at least understand the girl's body language. He nodded with a smile and signed for the girl, and the girl bowed happily to the foreigner to thank her.

Not far away, there are some Japanese social animals with their chests up.

Before that, each of them was actually either listless or dull-eyed when they went to work.

That is a group of people whose edges and corners have been smoothed by life.

But now, each of them held their chests up.

Recently, because of the Olympic Games, many companies have indeed gained new interests, and some old companies have begun to revitalize.

Even though many people hate the Olympics, they feel that the Japanese government is going to fight for this kind of thing, and consuming their taxes is simply a waste of resources.

But from now on, at least there are still some effects.

There are also quite a few foreigners passing through the streets.

Some of them are tourists and some are staff.

Just today, the old man saw a vitality that Japan has not shown for a long time.

I am really moved. If possible, he even hopes that he will be 20 years younger and become a normal person with certain behavioral ability, to do what he likes to do, and to contribute to this society.

It's a pity that he is old and can only be a supermarket cashier at most.

But he is also very satisfied.

At least in his own lifetime, he saw the moment of Japan's rejuvenation again.

Even if he dies now, he can rest in peace.

"Long live! I finally caught the Japanese exclusive Pokémon! Ahahahahaha!"

At this time, a voice made the old man couldn't help but look back.

It was a Westerner with an excited look holding a smartphone in his hand.

What is he happy about?

The old man can't understand foreign languages, and this person doesn't seem to speak English, and he can't understand it even more.

But he could see the excitement on the man's expression.

"Let's see, let's see, wow! It's a different color, you guys are really lucky."

"Hey, I've been squatting in this place for several days, and I was almost considered a homeless overseas, but it's all worth it!"

The Westerner was very happy, and then he searched around with his mobile phone, and found a new rare Pokémon that was about to appear, so he ran to the next destination without saying a word.

The old man knew it was a smartphone, and he seemed to have heard the name Pokémon.

This is something that my grandson and son like very much. It is naturally difficult for him to understand the fun of this thing at such an old age.

He didn't expect that this group of foreigners would also like this kind of children's stuff.

This made him vaguely remember the evaluation of video games on TV stations and newspapers.

Cultural industries such as video games and animation have at least allowed Japan to breathe a sigh of relief in the past two decades, so that it will not be completely eliminated from the jungle of the world.

And also because of the prosperity of industries such as video games and animation, they can actually support many people.

In terms of technology, Japan has been beaten to death by overseas capital, and it is almost impossible to survive. If it is not supported by industries such as video games and animation, Japan may become even worse.

Now seeing those foreigners who like his country's video games very much, he, an old man who doesn't understand video games, feels very relieved.
