MTL - Tokyo Video Game Tycoon-Chapter 13 High income

   Chapter 13 High Income

  14,000 yen.

   That's all this console earns today.

   And, that's not even the highest earning of this console.

   Because the kids usually have to go home before the sun goes down.

   Some of the more daring children did not dare to stay after eight o'clock in the evening.

   If these children dare to play until twelve o'clock in the evening, or even the next morning, the income will be doubled again.

   The store manager was stunned.

   He originally thought that he had earned 10,000 yen per day for a long-term rental of a seat on his side.

   But I didn't expect that I was the clown.

   That young man can earn more than 14,000 yen a day just by throwing this thing here.

   At nine o'clock in the evening, the bald manager had been walking around this game console for a long time.

   He didn't even know what was so fun about this thing.

  Why those children are so fascinated, and one after another.

   On average, these children can play for about five minutes before running out of life and ending the game.

   And most of them are stuck in levels 4-3 and cannot break through for the time being.

   There seems to be a watershed there.

   On average, twelve hundred dollar coins can be put into this game machine in an hour.

   For 12 hours, these kids didn't take a break.

   After this game is over, the next child will immediately take over.

   Even those children who have no money to play can gather behind the crowd and watch others play.

   It seems to be fun to watch other people play.

   This confuses the store manager.

   However, he has been keenly aware of business opportunities.

   Until this moment, he once again remembered what Zhu Yuxing said to him yesterday.

  If you are interested in this game console, you can buy it directly, and then you can negotiate the specific price.

   "Good evening, store manager, I'm here again."

   At this moment, a slightly tired young man walked into the entertainment hall.

   "Oh, good evening, you guys are here again? How's your work today?"

  The bald-headed store manager raised his head and greeted the person who walked in slightly warmly.

   This young man is an employee of a nearby business.

   Basically every night this young man comes over to play casually.

   Singing, or playing with a dance machine or something.

   Then, during the day, this guy will return to the company to continue working as a social animal for a day.

   In this way, day after day, this young man has also become a frequent visitor here.

   "The job is still the same today. The boss scolded me for more than ten minutes because the design draft I revised did not meet the requirements. Oops, I really want to resign." The young man sighed.

   "Oh, that's it, then you can play as you like. I'll give you a discount today to make you happy."

   The store manager replied casually, and then continued to look up and down this magical game machine.

  The young man also noticed the manager's gaze, so he came over curiously.

   "Manager, is this a new product? Why are you staring at this thing all the time?"

   "This, it's called a video game. I'm old and I don't know much about it, do you understand?"

   "Electronic video games?"

   The young man recalled carefully in his mind.

   He works in a media network company, and he is responsible for design and other work on a daily basis, which also allows him to come into contact with many new and fashionable things at the first time.

   However, he had never heard the term video game.

   The young man shook his head: "No, I haven't heard of it. Is this thing also a game? How is it played? Is it the same as a dance machine?"

   "No, I don't understand it right now, but if you want to play, you need to put in a coin and play with this thing."

   The store manager picked up the handle that had been touched by a group of children for a day and said.

   "Huh? It's a strange way of operation, and it looks very novel. I'll play this today. Is this also discounted?"

   "This, this is not something in my store, it's just a test item that a young man said he would temporarily rent a small area of ​​mine here."

   "Oh, it doesn't matter, I'll try it, it doesn't matter if it's not discounted."

  The young man fumbled up and down in his pocket, and finally pulled out a hundred-yuan coin from the depths of his pocket.

The one-hundred-dollar coin is estimated to have been in his pocket for more than ten days. If such a game machine hadn't suddenly appeared, the coin would probably continue to survive in his pocket for more than ten days. In which corner.

   Jingle.

   Accompanied by the crisp sound of coins hitting, the TV screen, which had gradually dimmed, turned on again.

   The familiar electronic melody also sounded again.

  Today, the store manager almost got calluses on his ears when he heard this sound.

   However, he was also fascinated by the sound.

  Because, once this sound is heard, it means that there is a hundred yen nervous.

**** it! Yesterday that guy actually made another hundred dollars.

   I hope this social animal only plays this time.

   The store manager originally planned to take a look at the game console and then go back to the office and then consider sleeping in the office altogether.

   But now he is in the spirit again, and he wants to take a good look at how this game machine harvests coins.

  The operation of Super Mario itself is not complicated.

   Even if you have never touched a game console in the past, when you simply press the up, down, left, and AB buttons on the handle, you have basically understood how the entire game works.

   "It doesn't seem like a big deal."

  The young people of the society were a little unconcerned.

  There are similar things on the computer, but they are not very interesting, like a side-scrolling walking simulator, which quickly gets boring.

  It is quite novel that this little man can jump up high.

  Young people began to explore seriously,

   Soon, he pressed forward and ran into the first mushroom monster head-on.

   "Hey be careful, this needs to be stepped on! Otherwise you will lose it..."

   Before the store manager could finish speaking, the young man of the social animal ended his first life in a failed rhythm sound.

   "Huh? Is this the end?"

   The young man was stunned, obviously he hadn't realized what was going on.

   The store manager has been staring at this all day, and he is quite familiar with the gameplay of the game, but he has never been able to get started.

   In his heart, he felt that he must not put coins into this game machine, otherwise he would take his own money for others to earn on his own territory, which made him feel very bad.

   "It doesn't matter, you have three lives, and you have two left, just be careful next, you need to eat a big mushroom, and you can crush it when you encounter a mushroom monster."
