Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

On the first day of Speed ​​Challenger, there were not many people.

More people wanted to see what it was with a hint of curiosity, simply joining in the fun.

With enough prize money and overseas travel prizes, even people who have no interest in video games will come to see what the hell is going on.

Among them, Yue Ono is just a very inconspicuous person.

In every direct-operated authorized store, there are now full of game consoles, more than a hundred of them, enough for challengers to come and try.

Because the registration is free, people who do not play the game will also choose to register, and then they will get a number plate. When the number plate is called, the player can challenge.

For this challenge, all the game consoles are also specially made. The game consoles will have a built-in timing program, which is convenient for the store staff to make unified statistics when the store closes at night.

Early in the morning, more than 100 game consoles were already fully occupied.

Some challengers are just passers-by, and everyone can only have one chance to clear the level, and there is also a set time limit for clearing the level.

Games like Metroid that require a long time to clear the level will be set to be completed within three hours.

As for Mario and Contra, it will be set to clear the level within an hour. In the end, there is no need to deliberately set the time for Tetris. Anyway, as long as you end the game, you will complete a challenge.

"Hello, sir, press your seal here, please."

Ohno Tomoe came to the registration office, and a clerk was introducing the basic rules of game registration and the specific content of the challenge game to everyone.

In Japan, the legal effect of the seal is sometimes higher than that of the signature. As long as the seal is affixed, it represents one's approval of the agreement.

The content of the agreement is some restrictions to prevent multiple challenges and prohibit the use of some means outside the rules.

Players who signed up stamped their seals one by one, then received a number plate and waited for their own time to be called.

Ohno Tomoe was not in a hurry to sign up, anyway, the challenge time is half a month, so he can wait and see.

The huge hall seemed a little noisy at the moment, but fortunately, there were specially hired security guards to maintain law and order, but nothing serious happened.

And those challenging players who are already sitting in front of the game consoles are staring at the screen intently.

These players seemed a little cautious, wiping off their sweat every time they cleared the level, and made a sound of gratitude.

Ohno Tomoe also carefully watched the challenge process of these players.

After all, these players will be competitors for prizes with him, let's look at their general strength first.

It's just a little regrettable that the ranking cannot be updated in real time now, and today's ranking can only be seen in detail tomorrow.

But Tomoe Ohno is not completely without gains.

Among the many challengers, 90% of them are actually here to try their luck.

Some of them haven't even played the game before, they are a little jerky when they first touch the game, and then they will end the game soon.

Three games like Contra, Super Mario, and Metroid will announce the end of the game in advance as long as they run out of life points, and the challenge will not give multiple chances to respawn in one challenge.

So in the beginning, these challengers generally couldn't persist for ten minutes before being defeated, and these were not even considered competitors.

This slightly boosted Ohno Tomoe's self-confidence, and felt that he was at least a little strong among these people, not a rookie.

But among these people, there are also some more powerful guys.

They are generally able to complete the challenge before their health runs out and the time limit hits.

But none of these people can compare to him. He did a test yesterday. If he was in his extreme state, he could make his Super Mario clearance time close to twelve minutes.

Contra can complete the challenge in twenty-seven minutes, while Metroid can complete the challenge in less than two hours.

But these people are almost all stuck in the time limit before completing the customs clearance, which is quite the limit.

Most people in Tetris will lose if they can't hold on to the speed of level 12, but Yue Ohno can hold on to the speed of level 14.

At this moment, the judgment was decided.

It was about noon in this shop, and after confirming that there was almost no one who could compare with him, he immediately ran to the next shop to check the situation.

The main purpose today is to check out the spot. Now that he has decided to get the reward, he must study it carefully.

He believes that he is better prepared than anyone else, and he should be able to get the first place in at least one of the games.

Among them, he is most confident in Mario and Tetris. In the other two games, he saw a few guys who were close to his clearance time, so there is still a certain threat.

Soon he came to the second shop. Even though it was close to noon, there were still a lot of people here. Many people even came here with their lunch boxes and watched others challenge while eating. The smell of rice made Ohno Tomoe very hungry. He came out so fast in the morning that he forgot to bring a bento.

Tomorrow, I must be ready for this.

In this shop, he has been watching past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Similar to the previous store, most of them here are just make-up, and there are not even a few who can pass the level normally, let alone speedrunning games.

For a while, his confidence also soared, and then he waited until he went to the next shop and stayed until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before returning home with a hungry stomach.

"Xiao Jiang, why are you back so late today?"

Because Tomoe Ohno didn't come back all day, his mother was still a little worried, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when Tomoe Ono came back.

"I went to the store that sells games."

"Stayed all day? Did you buy anything?"

"No...I'm starving to death, does mom have anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes, the dinner is still hot tonight." Ono Yue's mother said with some distress.

Ohno Tomoe immediately ran to the kitchen, didn't even bother to take the food out of the kitchen, and started eating big mouthfuls.

"Mom, can you prepare a bento for me tomorrow?"

"Of course, but are you planning to go out tomorrow? What are you going to do?"

Ohno Tomoe thought for a while, and then said with a serious expression: "Mom, if I say that I may have found a direction for the future, and that I may also have my own business, would you believe me?"

Ohno Tomoe's mother's eyes widened, and after waiting for a few seconds, there were tears in her eyes.

"Mom... Mom, why are you crying?" Ohno Tomoe immediately stopped eating, a little flustered.
