Chapter 382 286 It Would Be a Pity to Miss It
Chapter 382 286. It would be a pity to miss it
"Hey, have you seen pokeni's new game commercial?"
On the rooftop of the company, Masaharu Yamada was chatting with several other people.
From the noodles we ate last night, we talked about games.
Only then did everyone remember.
"Oh, it seems like this," Kinoshita Keisuke dusted off the cigarette ashes on his hands, "I remember that The Witcher has been on sale for a long time, but I didn't expect that a sequel would be released now."
"For a game masterpiece, two and a half years is not a long time. It is almost the same development process." Hirosawa Furukawa said like a king.
But what he said is also true. In most cases, the development cycle of large-scale games is relatively long.
Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 has been in development for almost two years.
However, during this period of time, players can always find games of the same type to satisfy their cravings.
It is really rare that there is such a huge gap in the middle like The Witcher, but there is no substitute, or there is a better top-down perspective action game.
"Ah, it's been two and a half years. I think you were not the section chief back then." Kinoshita said to Furukawa.
Furukawa blinked his eyes, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I've been working for ten years, it's my turn to be the section leader, okay?"
"Yes, yes," Kinoshita said quickly, "If you had gotten married earlier, you might have been promoted faster."
"Um?"
Furukawa Haoze was stunned for a moment, "How to say?"
"Have you forgotten?" Hayamikawa also came over, and several people lowered their voices, "The company has an unwritten rule that only married men can be eligible for promotion."
"What kind of rule is this?" Furukawa didn't understand.
"Because the company prefers guys with stable families, rather than those who are single and may change jobs at any time." Kinoshita said clearly.
"And," Hayamikawa added, "you know that the company's top executives have a wives' group, right? Only after you get married can your wife join this small group.
Although they are basically discussing boring things, this is also a way for everyone to enhance friendship.
Members who are not in the wives' group are basically excluded from the core power of the company. "
"Ah?! Is it true?" Yamada said that he had no idea about this matter. "So I have to hurry up, right?"
"What do you think?"
Hayamikawa took a puff of his cigarette, raised his chin, and pointed at Kinoshita Keisuke, "Didn't this guy get married in August last year? He has already started to go abroad this year."
"Expatriation?" Furukawa and Yamada couldn't understand. "Isn't expatriation an exile? It's like only people who are not valued by the company, or people who can't be fired after making mistakes, will be expatriate."
"You are such idiots! You are idiots one by one!"
Hayamikawa raised his hand and patted their heads one by one.
"Ah~ It hurts a lot, okay?!"
Furukawa raised his resentful little eyes.
"Expat assignments also depend on the situation." Hayamikawa, a know-it-all, continued to explain, "There are expatriates who go to good places, and there are expatriates who go to trashy places. If you go to the Philippines, come to Yamaxi This kind of thing is basically impossible to come back from.
Or you might just make some excuse after you come back, saying that your performance is not up to standard or something.
If you cause any trouble there, you will be transferred to a subsidiary company. If you are transferred to a subsidiary company in a small place, you will basically be doomed for the rest of your life.
This is called being exiled. "
"And the other situation," Hayamikawa continued, "is being sent to the United States, Europe, or Singapore. These places are called further training.
After returning from further training, I will be promoted. "
"Um?"
Yamada and Furukawa's eyes widened, completely unaware that there were such rules.
"Forget about someone like Yamada who has just arrived here," Hayamikawa looked at Furukawa Hirosawa and said, "How come you've become the section chief and still don't know this?"
"I always thought that companies promoted people based on their ability." Furukawa Hirose said with a bitter face.
Hayamikawa pointed to Furukawa Hirose's nose, "Why, do you think you are more capable than Yamada?"
"Ah, hey, you're a bit offensive now."
"Senior, technology is always changing." Yamada said with a smile.
Furukawa Haoze raised his hand, ready to strike, but Yamada quickly ducked back with a smile.
On the rooftop, the wind is very noisy today.
"Yamada, you are not much better. If you don't get married, you will be wasted." Hayamikawa said, "Do you think you can be promoted?"
"Ah, hey, senior, you are a bit offensive."
Kinoshita put the cigarette butt on his wallet and extinguished it, then put it into his wallet and put it away.
"Anyway, the priority for promotion is marital status. Who was that before, ah, Sasaki, didn't he just get married last year, and now he has been promoted to section chief.
He is only 25 years old. He has only been in the company for more than three years, maybe less than four years. "
"Ah~ Senior, I don't want you to attack people like this." Yamada Masaharu shouted with a frown.
Furukawa Haoze, who was standing next to him, looked even more depressed, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
Good guy, he’s so much younger than me and he’s already promoted to class chief.
It's not worth being a section chief for a long time, right?
"And, it's not just as simple as getting married, there are also age requirements." Kinoshita Keisuke said.
"If you are not married before the age of 30, it will be difficult to move up later."
"real or fake?"
Furukawa Hirose was completely stunned, "I am 31 this year."
"Then why don't you get married quickly?"
Yamada Masaharu patted his chest, fortunately, he is only 26 years old this year.
Furukawa Hirosawa grimaced, "Where am I going to get married? I'm just starting to marry Junna now. There's still a long way to go before we get married, right?"
"But Hayamikawa, you know so much, why don't you get married? I remember you weren't even promoted to section principal, right?" Kinoshita Keisuke suddenly remembered something.
Zaijian Chuan was petrified on the spot.
"If you know it, don't expose it! Do you still have any sense of justice?!"
"Do you think I don't want to get married? Haven't I always been unlucky?"
When everyone saw Hayamikawa's appearance, they found it funny and felt that this guy was quite pitiful.
I finally found my first love, but all my first love’s children went to kindergarten.
"But, for me, this is probably the case for the rest of my life. If a person in his 30s cannot be promoted to principal, I guess he will just be a senior staff member for the rest of his life."
…
Everyone chatted for a while about the topic of marriage, and the wind on the rooftop blew several people's hair.
After an unknown amount of time, several people fell into silence at the same time.
"Huh? What were we talking about just now? I suddenly forgot."
Hayao Chuan asked after realizing it.
"The Witcher 2, senior!" Yamada reminded.
"Oh, yes, The Witcher 2." Hayamikawa nodded and bumped Furukawa next to him with his elbow, "Do you want to buy it or not?"
"Me?" Furukawa was stunned for a moment.
"The Witcher 2 seems pretty good, right?" he asked doubtfully.
"Judging from the PVs released so far, they should not be as beautiful as "Princess Mononoke". How should I say, they take a different route." Yamada smiled, "It is the dark style of psychological distortion that you like very much, senior, but Hunter Isn’t that what a devil is?”
"How can I like the twisted dark style?" Furukawa Hirosawa defended, "I just like P Club's games. It's just that most of the scripts written by Gen Urobuchi are dark style, and I happen to have played them all."
"Yes Yes."
Everyone laughed.
"By the way, senior, how was your previous experience with "Princess Mononoke"?" Yamada was quite curious.
He was working as an errand boy for a few people at the time, and he didn't know what the after-sales feedback was like or whether these guys were still satisfied.
Anyway, he really likes the game Princess Mononoke.
To this day I still think it is a masterpiece.
Whether it is in terms of painting style, expressiveness, or plot, it is one of the few first-class game works.
"forgotten."
Furukawa Hirose smiled sheepishly, touched his lips with his hand, recalled what happened that night, and said shyly, "I only remember Junna's lips."
"Ah~ Damn it!
Senior, do you want to show off like this in front of us? ! "
"Don't worry.
Leave this guy to me, I guarantee that he won't be able to see the sun tomorrow. "As he spoke, Hayamikawa choked Furukawa Haoze.
"Ah! No!" Furukawa Haoze quickly begged for mercy.
"But speaking of it."
Hayamikawa let him go and asked doubtfully, "You and Junna have developed to this point, are you about to get married?"
"Senior! Can you stop talking about getting married? Can you respect the game?" Yamada roared.
"Ah, sorry." Several people came back to their senses.
"Go on, Yamada." Kinoshita Keisuke waved his hand.
"That said, do you want to buy "The Witcher 2"?" Yamada asked.
"My wife won't let me buy it. She said this kind of game looks like it would be played by a guy with an extremely twisted mentality." Kinoshita Keisuke said lightly.
"Huh?" Furukawa Hirosawa was stunned for a moment, "But Junna is very supportive of me. She thinks that if I like such a game, it means that it has its own merits.
Maybe there is the power of light hidden in the darkness. "
"That's enough." Hayamikawa shouted.
"If you show affection again, I will beat you, senior." Yamada rolled up his sleeves and showed his fists as big as sandbags.
"Okay, I want to get one. Let's go there together after get off work." Furukawa Hirose laughed.
To be honest, this guy has become particularly arrogant since he got a girlfriend.
Masaharu Yamada really seemed to have punched his senior in the face to vent his anger.
Fortunately, among the four of them, Hayamigawa-senpai was still with him, and neither of them had a girlfriend.
…
Time flies by and March 15th arrives in an instant.
Pokeni's "The Witcher: Devil's Egg" is released on time.
There is a large poster posted outside the store.
The male protagonist looks as arrogant as possible. He is grinning, half human and half devil, with black veins popping out on his face. He is taller than an ordinary human, and his teeth are sharp and sharp, as if he is about to destroy the person in front of him in the next moment. It's like tearing prey to pieces.
Such a guy is indeed very reminiscent of [Devilman]
Not long after get off work in the evening, the store manager saw a familiar group of four people.
"Welcome, there are new games available today."
He was talking when he suddenly froze——
Because behind Furukawa Hiroze, there was a beautiful girl.
Maybe she can't be called beautiful, but she was a cute woman with temperament, her eyebrows and eyes were very comfortable, her eyes were bright when she smiled, and she was very friendly.
She was like an angel.
Eh! ?
A girl.
This made the store manager nervous.
How is it possible? !
Is there a girl who likes that guy?
He didn't dare to believe what was happening in front of him until he saw the girl gently holding Furukawa Hiroze's hand. At this time, he was struck by lightning.
There was a loud bang.
The lightning exploded in the brain, blasting the store manager to pieces.
Oh my God...
What happened?
Is this world real?
Aren't we living in a virtual fantasy?
That otaku who has been single for thousands of years and always buys a bunch of galgames every time he comes here actually has a girlfriend? !
…
Yamada walked in front and took a copy of "Monster Hunter: Devil's Egg" from the shelf first
Then came Hayamigawa, Keisuke Kinoshita, and Hiroze Furukawa.
Furukawa and Junna were talking and laughing. After discussing for a while, the two decided to just take one copy.
"Come to my house to play when the time comes. This is an action game, and the difficulty is not low."
"Okay, but don't underestimate me, I'm very good." Yukitake Junna smiled, showing no weakness, and even showed off her biceps.
It's also trained after the surgery.
"Okay, it's amazing." Hiroze Furukawa gave her a thumbs up, "Then I'll teach you when the time comes."
"Okay."
Several people stood by and watched the two flirt silently.
Yamada Masaharu cursed Hiroze Furukawa in his heart ten thousand times.
Damn senior.
I should have stopped calling him if I had known.
I didn't expect that they would show affection in a game store!
How abominable.
If it weren't for Miss Xuezhu, Yamada Masaharu really wanted to punch him in the face.
At the same time, the store manager standing behind the cashier was extremely terrified.
Horrible, do girls like such games?
You know, this is a work written by Gen Urobuchi.
Most people can't stand such a twisted mind.
What's more, it's a girl.
…
However, the store manager still dutifully recorded the bills and packed the things for them.
"Welcome to come again next time."
After sending a few people away, the store manager couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
…
After buying the game, Furukawa Hiroze took Yukitake Junna home naturally.
"Is this really okay? I see it's so late." Yukitake Junna smiled and stared into Furukawa's eyes.
"I still have to go to work tomorrow."
The doctor is really busy.
If we play games, it will probably be very late when we get home.
"Then why don't you stay at my place tonight?" Furukawa Hiroze said with a smirk.
"Really? Is that okay?" Yukitake Junna blinked.
Although the two had some physical contact before, it was limited to bickering.
Staying overnight at Furukawa's house has not happened yet.
Hearing Yukitake's words, Furukawa Hiroze was a little embarrassed.
Is this a rejection of himself?
Ah~ What a pity, how can I let Junna stay?
"But it's agreed that we will play games tonight. Don't do anything weird."
"Huh?!"
Furukawa Hiroze was overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and raised his hand, "I swear, I will only play games and not do anything weird."
Yukitake Junna quickly pulled his hand down and said coquettishly, "Who asked you to swear?"
...
The two returned home, Yukitake Junna went to take a shower first, leaving Furukawa Hiroze alone in the room to play the new game.
I wanted to put the disc in to try it out.
But when he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom, Furukawa Hiroze stopped.
After thinking for a while, after a struggle in his heart, Furukawa Hiroze finally did not open the package.
Instead, he sat there and waited quietly.
It would be a pity if Junna missed the opening CG.
Sure enough, the game is more interesting when two people play together.
