Chapitre 4: The opportunity for children to defeat adults.
The children listened to Takayuki's explanation with confusion.
Mainly because they had not yet established the concept of electronic games in their minds.
This kind of thing certainly couldn't be accomplished overnight, so Takayuki was patient.
"You kids can relax. If you can't play today, we'll come back tomorrow. Your queue numbers will still be valid, and the rewards will still be available. As long as you can pass the level."
Hearing that the rewards were plentiful, the children relaxed.
As long as it wasn't limited, these kids were confident they could take advantage of Takayuki's generosity.
"Come, let me show you first, and the rest of you can watch. It's done like this."
Takayuki took the controller and, with smooth movements, made Mario on the TV screen start moving.
"Hey, hey, it's moving! The little person on the TV can move!"
The children exclaimed loudly.
This was a relatively novel way of operating.
Of course, they had seen it before; some families had computers with similar controls for games that were somewhat like electronic games, but they were very boring.
Finally, in the midst of Takayuki's skillful maneuvering, he accidentally hit a mushroom guy and lost...
Oops, that was embarrassing.
He had played the first generation of Mario countless times in the past.
But it had been a long time, and he was rusty.
But luckily, these children didn't seem to care.
Through Takayuki's demonstration, the children also understood the basic operation.
Firstly, the little person on the TV could jump and run faster, and the bricks in the scene could be bumped to reveal some strange things.
During Takayuki's demonstration, he didn't collect those items, he just played through the game quickly.
So the children weren't sure what these things were for.
Secondly, the little person could jump on the monsters in the process of jumping and dodge them.
"Okay, let the first child start the challenge."
Takayuki handed the controller back to the child.
The child took it eagerly.
He was the first, and with an extra five minutes to familiarize himself with the controls, he had a significant advantage.
Just now, he had been watching Takayuki's actions attentively, and although he couldn't remember everything, he had memorized most of it.
After all, this game wasn't difficult to learn; it was even simple to the point of being idiotic.
Ding ding ding ~
The familiar starting sound rang out, and the child widened his eyes and pressed the controller.
The little person on the TV began to move forward according to his actions.
Takayuki quietly retreated to the back, giving the children more space.
At the same time, he took out a camera and aimed it at the children playing.
Click.
This was a moment worth remembering.
This world would also welcome a new form of entertainment, a national one.
This photo must be preserved well; it was a symbol of the arrival of a new era.
...
Soon, it was eighteen minutes later.
At this point, the first child was sweating profusely.
Even though the weather was still cold, the child was sweating nervously.
Twenty minutes had passed, and he hadn't completed the level.
It wasn't because he was dumb.
Mainly, sometimes he would accidentally hit the mushroom guy and die, or get hit by a turtle shell, or accidentally jump too small and fall into a pit.
So he had been repeating this process for the whole twenty minutes.
Whenever there was a mistake, he would start over.
So he never made it to the end of the level.
At this point, the children behind him were also tense.
They were all silently praying for this child to pass the level smoothly.
When the twenty minutes arrived, the child's last life should have been reaching the end, and this time it seemed like the child would really pass the level.
But time was up.
"Time's up! It's my turn next!"
Behind the first child, the second child had already shouted impatiently.
Takayuki had thought about stopping.
But when he saw the serious expression on the first child's face, he stopped halfway.
"No, give him one last chance. If he dies, it's over."
Takayuki said.
The second child didn't seem particularly happy to hear Takayuki's words.
But Takayuki was the one who could decide everything.
He could only pout.
But what Takayuki cared about was the serious expression on the first child's face.
So familiar.
It was like the scene when he first encountered a video game.
It was a morning.
Father came back from outside, bringing something new for him.
The young Takayuki had no idea what it was.
He watched curiously as his father connected the game console to the TV and inserted a cartridge, starting the console.
Then, his father picked up the controller and said, "Watch closely, son, watch your dad show off!"
Then, with his father's skillful maneuvering, he completed a move, only to die at the hands of the third mushroom guy.
Father smiled awkwardly and handed the controller to Takayuki, saying, "Let's each have one life, let's see who can come first. If you get first place, I'll cook you something delicious tonight!"
Just like the child in front of him, Takayuki was also aroused by competitiveness.
Focused, it seemed like all the surrounding sounds had disappeared.
Competitiveness made him immerse himself in the world of games for the first time.
It was a strange feeling.
Takayuki subconsciously picked up the camera again and captured the serious look of the child.
And at this moment, the child was maneuvering Mario to the finish line.
Crossing the mountains, entering the castle.
The castle raised the victory flag, congratulating the child on completing the first challenge.
"Wow! I won! I've achieved victory!"
The child jumped up.
Cheering loudly.
The scene was exactly the same as when he first defeated his father.
It was a child's first opportunity to challenge an adult.
In the face of the game, an adult's experience, strength, and physical fitness were useless, and a child could defeat an adult.
At that time, father lovingly patted him on the head. Later, Takayuki realized that the first time he won, his father had deliberately let him win. Adults were not that easy to defeat.
But for the young Takayuki at that time, it meant a delicious meal at night.
And from that moment on, Takayuki fell in love with games. Even now, if possible, Zhu Youxing hoped to continue playing forever.
"Congratulations, you have won. Come, choose the toy you like as the winner."
Takayuki said with a smile.
The first child was obviously very happy.
He ran excitedly to the prize area and picked up the toy he had already set his eyes on without hesitation.
To actually receive a reward, and it didn't seem difficult at all.
Other children looked a little envious when they saw it.
"I-I-I, I'm the second one!"
The child holding the number two card jumped in the crowd.
"Okay, let's welcome the second challenger!"
The second child immediately came to the TV.
This child was obviously more skilled at picking up the controller than the first child.
Just now, by observing, he had basically become familiar with the controls.
Although the characters on the TV screen were just pixels, they seemed to possess a charm even more enticing than cartoons, attracting this child.
Ding ding ding ~
The familiar starting sound rang out, and the second child, with more proficiency, picked up the challenge again.
