259. I don't know when it started. Maybe it's the age of mythology.
Have you ever seen a huge crowd of people?
Okay, what a stupid question.
After all, there are so many crowded scenes. The train station during the Spring Festival holiday counts as one; the tourist attractions during the National Day holiday also count as one, and the doujinshi conventions in District 11 in summer and winter also count as one.
Most people who wear thick clothes are unlikely to like crowds. After all, the air is bad and it is easy to lose belongings.
Therefore, to be able to bring thousands of people together in one place, there must be some kind of strong will that attracts people to gather together and meet something.
Maybe it’s the ticket home, maybe it’s the scenery in the gap, maybe it’s... [love]!~
"This is [love]! In order to play that cross-generational game that allows you to glimpse a crack in your dreams, these people even have self-media players who came all the way from Hokkaido!
Game! It's obviously just for fun, but in this day and age, some people are able to pay a huge price for it.
What is this? This is [love]!”
The speaker was very excited, but the person who was his only audience was very cold.
"...Anyway, you come down first, kid."
"Oh well."
The young man wearing black thick-rimmed glasses did not bother and climbed down from the table very obediently.
"Young man, I already understand your hot heart, and as a game operator, I very much agree with what you just said, and I am even a little moved..."
"Then can you..."
"Can't!"
"..."
As a listener, Xingke commented on the spectacled boy's speech sincerely, but was interrupted on the way, so Xingke also interrupted the boy's request.
It's not that Xingke is petty, but...
"I understand the embarrassment of your position. It's like the first two hundred frog toys in the queue with gifts, but you are in the same position as the two hundred and one.
However, as a game ticket seller and one of the game developers, I can tell you clearly that the game venue is only so big and the number of equipment is limited. Due to various factors, you really can’t go in anymore.
.
The location is still the same at 14 o'clock in the afternoon, and we are still waiting for your arrival, thank you."
As a temporary worker who works as a gatekeeper, Xingke said that he absolutely implements a serious and responsible work attitude.
Today is already the fifth day of the cultural festival. News of the virtual projection game has spread among some veteran players. However, after it spread to the public circle, due to the short time, it is still just a rumor or an urban legend.
Degree.
But even so, the number of geeks, game hardware companies, veteran gamers, and other people who are more sensitive than sharks' noses after they noticed the name [Double Horse] has already overwhelmed Shuiming Sports, a small company.
Small gaming venues are overcrowded.
The original two games a day had to be expanded to two games in the morning and three games in the afternoon.
In the same way, such a grand occasion is of course impossible to achieve with just the people from Sakurasou as staff. On the third day, the Suimei University Student Union had already joined forces with all the staff of Shuangma Group temporarily stationed at Suimei University to start the event.
Maintain order on site and game operations.
Even on the fourth day, the Metropolitan Police Department branch near Suimyo University decided to dispatch police to maintain order, and the two hospitals that were closer also dispatched two medical vehicles on standby at the request of [Shuangma].
By the way, those mobile restaurants at the school culture festival also discovered business opportunities in time, and it can be said that they made a lot of money in the past two days.
So, in fact, the preparations for the large-scale event site have been quite good.
But even so, on the fifth day, there are still unlucky players who queued up all night but missed the last step and did not get the last train ticket.
Just like the guy with glasses in front of goalkeeper Xing Ke.
"Thank you very much! I have been queuing here since six o'clock in the morning until now!~
Only on this point, please be accommodating!"
He clasped his hands, leaned on the table, and almost sat down in front of Xing Ke. This little brother was already working very hard. Xing Ke even felt a little soft-hearted.
Because it could be seen from the stars that he really wasn't lying. He really started lining up at six in the morning. The folding chair exposed in his backpack and the down jacket on his body proved everything.
The thick glasses and the game-related cultural shirt under his coat also prove that he is a real gamer. And the game producer behind him is wearing a scarf, smart clothes, and silk-rimmed glasses.
The difference is that he is a simple player who plays games for fun!
Seeing such a simple and unpretentious game player, Xing Ke was of course very moved.
"But, it's really too late now. According to time, a game inside has already started, and now there is no place for you to intervene.
I think you are not willing to start from the middle, so... just give up this round."
And if I let you in alone, the evil wolves behind you will definitely not let me go, so for my sake, you better give up - this is the reason behind.
It's very ruthless, but also very true. Time waits for no one, and fairness does not allow exceptions.
Even though Xingji could gradually see the despair in the eyes of this young man with black-framed glasses, he still made up his mind and did not say anything regretful.
As a result, from the front row behind the boy with glasses, several bright eyes looked away from Xing Ke in disappointment, making Xing Ke let out a sigh of relief.
"...Is that really what it is?
Alas... there is no other way, I can only come back tomorrow morning..."
The dejected young man finally retreated from the table completely, having lost some of his motivation.
In this way, Xingji seized the right opportunity and grabbed the young man, and the two of them worked together.
"But, friend, I admire your enthusiasm for games. I see that you are about the same age as me, so let's leave each other's phone numbers and email addresses and contact you later."
Blinking at Saonian, he immediately took out the big treasure in his trouser pocket... his mobile phone.
"Okay...Okay, actually, I also admire your Sakurasou game production team. Even though we are both high school students like me, we are still like this..."
Obviously he didn't understand Xingke's meaning. This innocent young man only thought that Xingke really wanted to make friends.
This child is hopeless.
"My name is Gongchou. I am a second year high school student in Suimei. I am the planner and director of this game. What about you?"
"Oh! Well, my name is Aki Toruya! I am a first-year student at Toyosaki Private High School and a slightly famous blogger [TAKI]. Please take care of me!"
After the two shook hands, An Yi boy didn't stay much longer. He carried a backpack, left a shadow of his back to Xing Ke, and left.
"That boy obviously didn't understand what you meant, Gongchang-kun."
The scarf game producer who was second in line talked to Xing Ke, but Xing Ke obviously didn't know this person. He only knew that he was a game producer and had only seen the posters about the game industry that he was going to give a speech in the school auditorium.
That's all.
"Who are you?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, my name is Kazuki Fujisawa, I'm just a game producer."
“Ah, ha—
Sorry, I don’t pay much attention to the gaming industry, so I don’t know your name. I’m sorry. Why do you know my name?”
The suspected celebrity didn't seem to care about Xingke's indifference.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I'm not really famous. As for why I know your name, of course someone told me.
In fact, I have another identity, that is, I lived in Sakurasou a long time ago, and I was the first class of students led by Teacher Chihiro."
Xingji doesn't know what to say now.
It's a related household. You told me earlier. Do you see the contempt in my eyes now?
"Tell me, how do you want to get in? This game has already started. Do you want priority for the next game?"
"... Just go with the guy just now. Leave your phone number."
Then the related party took out his mobile phone, and after finishing the matter, he smiled and waved goodbye:
"Junior, you are easy to talk to. I will thank you later when I come back to Sakura Manor as a guest."
"...Oh, I feel tired."
Reluctantly, after sending a text message to Anyi boy indicating that he could open the door to convenience tomorrow morning, Xing immediately called two Shuangma employees to come over and take over, and secretly swore in his heart:
Chapter completed!
