Video Game Tycoon in Tokyo-Chapter 709: Brand Ambassador

From the very beginning, Takayuki had anticipated this would turn into a long-lasting war of words.

People from different fields were all arguing for their own interests.

That sociologist was no exception.

So, what could he do? The only solution was to make everyone benefit—make everyone shut up.

Of course, if someone was really stubborn and refused to cooperate, Takayuki didn't mind giving them a hard time.

Right now, the sociologist named Jean was sitting at home, mildly questioning his entire worldview.

Video games, to him, were shallow and worthless, incapable of offering any meaningful value to human society.

It didn't matter what kind of game it was—he had always believed his opinion would never change.

...

...

But now, sitting in front of him was the Ring Fit Adventure end-game scene, and Jean was silent for a long while.

He'd always considered himself the fitness type—he had the time and the energy. Even at 50 years old, he still looked sharp and lively.

Precisely because of his experience with fitness, he believed video games could never replace professional training.

But... so what?

Why did Ring Fit even need to aim at replacing professional training?

For example—his own daughter, who had never shown any interest in exercise, had now gotten into working out because of Ring Fit Adventure.

In just one month, she'd miraculously lost three kilograms, despite being someone prone to weight gain.

That might be a modest result in general terms, but for his lazy daughter, it was practically a miracle.

It all started the day Jean received the console and Ring Fit Adventure from Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

That very evening, he brought it home.

His daughter had just graduated from university and was currently hanging around the house with nothing to do.

When she saw her father come home with something new, she got curious.

Jean booted up Ring Fit Adventure after fiddling with it for a bit. He followed the game's prompts and gave it a try.

At the time, his judgment was clear: totally worthless.

Expecting a simple plastic ring to help people exercise? Sure, the developers had clever ideas, but Jean was a staunch opponent of video games, so his bias made him immediately dismiss it.

But then—his daughter got interested.

Jean figured, why not? She was bored anyway, and the game didn't seem like the kind that would cause addiction.

Even if someone wanted to get addicted, they'd need the stamina to keep up.

So he let her play while he went back to his office to prepare for classes.

After that, he more or less forgot about the whole thing.

His daughter didn't say much to him during that time. He just went about his usual routine—work, come home, occasionally nag her to go find a job instead of staying home all day.

Then, a month later, she appeared in front of him looking like a whole new person.

She was still on the heavier side, but her energy and spirit were completely transformed.

It was like she wasn't even the same person anymore.

The difference between someone before and after getting into fitness is always obvious.

She used to be sluggish and apathetic.

Now, she was full of energy.

And she had lost three full kilograms—something she hadn't managed in years.

But that wasn't all—she told him she'd landed a job offer that she was genuinely happy with. One with a salary too good to refuse.

Jean was completely dumbfounded.

He immediately asked her what had happened.

Proudly, she pulled up her Ring Fit Adventure play log.

Over the past month, she had played and completed the entire game, burning a huge amount of energy in the process.

She also showed him her social media account.

Ever since she started using Ring Fit Adventure, she had used its easy sharing system to post daily updates about her workouts.

Thanks to the game's built-in popularity, she quickly gained attention.

People even began messaging her, asking for her opinion and recommendations about the game.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before—a sense of being seen and respected.

She was thrilled. It felt like her life had stepped onto a brand-new path.

She actively engaged with others online, sharing her experiences with Ring Fit Adventure.

Before long, she became one of the most popular users in the Ring Fit online community.

Her follower count grew every day.

Ordinarily, someone with her body type wouldn't have gotten any attention on social media.

But Ring Fit Adventure gave her that attention for the first time in her life—and it felt amazing.

Eventually, she started promoting the game voluntarily.

Facebook took notice. Seeing her organically promoting the game and gaining popularity, Gamestar's official Facebook account reached out and offered to make her a brand ambassador—with compensation.

Jean's daughter excitedly told him all about how her life had changed.

From her physical transformation to her mental well-being. And yes—she had landed a job.

Jean could hardly believe it.

But the proof was right in front of him—undeniable.

"But... how is this possible? Are you sure they didn't trick you? They're really offering to pay you to be a brand ambassador?"

His daughter answered with total confidence. She even pulled out a signed contract, mailed directly from Gamestar Electronic Entertainment.

Jean examined the contract thoroughly, but couldn't find anything suspicious.

Still, he didn't want to accept it.

And yet, with his daughter's transformation being so real... his arguments felt pointless.

Still, he clung to a theory—maybe Gamestar found out who his daughter was and was trying to bribe her to silence him.

But... was it really that simple?

He looked at his daughter, still talking enthusiastically about her transformation. Then he looked back at the TV, showing workout data from the game.

He suddenly began to question everything.

He didn't even know what kind of expression he should have.

In the end, the only thing he could think to do was go directly to Gamestar.

He wanted to hear the truth from them.

"Hello, sir."

"Hi, I'm Jean. I assume you know who I am?"

"Oh, Mr. Jean. Of course, we know you. Please hold a moment—our manager said if you ever called, he'd speak with you personally."

A few minutes later, a male voice came through the line.

"Mr. Jean, we're very glad you called. How can we help you?"

"I want to ask—did you know who my daughter is?"

"Your daughter?"

The man on the line paused, clearly caught off guard.

What kind of question was that?
