Bab 452: The influence brought about by each other
"Impossible! How did you manage to score 200 points?"
Time rewinds to March, in a certain cram school in Japan. Tian Chong looked at the high score on his handheld game console, Fruit Ninja, with a shocked expression.
It displayed a staggering score of 213 points.
Although Tian Chong was deeply immersed in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on his console, he also played a few casual games he had purchased.
Among them, Fruit Ninja was his favorite casual game.
For this, he even spent an entire day just to improve his score.
Unfortunately, his best score barely exceeded 100 points.
It was really difficult to improve further.
He was well aware of how challenging the game became later on. While it was considered a casual game, it was far from relaxing.
However, despite his best efforts, he could only achieve a mediocre score, which his female classmate broke in just three days, directly surpassing 200 points.
At this moment, Aiko was very pleased.
This achievement was the result of her hard work and constant formulaic training.
Sometimes, talented people could excel in anything they did.
Aiko was the top student in academics.
And when she played games, she also achieved excellent results.
Perhaps there was some innate talent in learning and absorbing knowledge.
Whether it was absorbing useful knowledge or purely entertaining knowledge, Aiko was very proficient.
"Tian Chong, you should just admit defeat," Aiko said triumphantly.
As she said this, she couldn't help but think about the effort she had put in to achieve such a score.
However, for some reason, when she surpassed 200 points, she suddenly felt an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.
This feeling was much stronger than the sense of achievement from studying. No wonder Tian Chong enjoyed playing games so much.
However, she managed to remain calm and not overly obsessed. But suddenly, she also felt that occasionally using electronic games as a diversion was quite nice, as it could relieve the anxiety of studying for long periods without reward.
Maybe she should consider buying a game console herself.
But she didn't need to tell Tian Chong about it. If she did, he would probably be very excited to boast to her: "I told you, video games are awesome! How about that? I was right, wasn't I?"
Tian Chong's expression was almost contorted with discomfort.
The study tasks assigned by Aiko were almost complete, just a little bit left.
Damn it! He regretted playing the game console for two hours yesterday. Maybe he would have beaten Aiko to it!
He was extremely frustrated now.
But he was also someone who would accept defeat gracefully.
"Okay, what do you want me to do? Just don't tell me to be your lackey, or I'll jump off a building right now."
Tian Chong looked defeated, and Aiko was very pleased.
"Tsk, I'm not that boring. My requirement is for you to obediently complete the study tasks I'll give you next. As long as you finish them, I'll allow you to play the game you want on the console."
"Huh? Are you going to confiscate my console indefinitely?"
Tian Chong looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Of course, why not? Who told you to lose?"
"But, uh, didn't you always want me to play games with you? How about this, if you complete a study task, I reluctantly agree to play games with you."
"Hmm? Really?"
Tian Chong's eyes lit up immediately.
There were very few girls around him who played games. If he could recruit a girl to play games with him, he would be quite prestigious among his gaming companions.
After realizing this, he gritted his teeth. "Okay, remember what you said."
Suddenly, he felt that he wasn't losing out too much.
Meanwhile, not far away, Yinsauce quietly gave Aiko a thumbs up.
Well done, Aiko. With this arrangement, this handheld console will be jointly owned by the three of us. Playing games together with one handheld console is really great.
The scene of the three girls rushing to the nearest game store after class to buy their first handheld game console together was almost a reflection of many similar scenes happening everywhere. The female gamer community was gradually growing, and they naturally favored casual games and various motion-sensing games on consoles.
After a month of handheld console sales, the proportion of female players in the GS1 and GSL home consoles had successfully increased from single digits to over ten percent.
This ten percent represented millions of players combined.
These were the pieces of information that Takayuki didn't plan to disclose publicly. He intended to wait for the right moment to make a stunning debut.
While the competition was still trying to trick money from boys, he had already embarked on a new track and was speeding away, leaving the competition in the dust.
However, in this process, there were unexpected events besides the competitors.
Time rewinds to mid-April. Takayuki had just arranged the upcoming tasks and was ready to fight vigorously in cooperative games. He was waiting for the employees to take their positions when the head of the outsourcing department responsible for contacting manufacturing factories for cartridge production hurriedly approached him.
"President, we have a sudden situation here that may affect the company's schedule."
Takayuki, who was just about to rest, was surprised to see the head of the outsourcing department rushing over.
"What?" he asked.
"The factory that produces cartridges for us suddenly caught fire. They contacted us to inform that more cartridge orders may be delayed."
"Delayed delivery? This is the crucial period for game sales. How could this happen so coincidentally? They suddenly caught fire?!"
Takayuki found it absurd.
