Chapter 601 The Rise of Playing Games
Since Xia Yu has been running around since December last year, he has not sat down with the two brothers for a long time to have a good chat.
Therefore, for tonight's supper, Xia Yu ate very comfortably. The three of them finished off two pieces of beer, and it was not until about ten o'clock in the evening that they were ready to leave.
Here in Kowloon City, the development is relatively backward. At about ten o'clock, many shops on the street have closed, and all open are some night snack stalls, food stalls, or KTV and other entertainment and catering shops.
There were few people on the street. After walking out of the Four Seasons Food stall, Xia Yu could feel that the whole street was filled with a sense of tranquility and peace.
Just at this moment, a door across the street opened wide, and there were bursts of loud shouts from the half-curtained store, as well as the sound of smashing boards and electronic sounds.
The voice was a bit familiar, and Xia Yu couldn't help but stop.
Seeing Xia Yu stop and look at the opposite side, Xia Lei and Xia Jun also stopped, Xia Lei asked, "A Yu, what's wrong?"
Xia Yu didn't answer, but looked at the red light sign hanging in the upper right corner of the store, with three words written on it - game hall.
"When did this arcade appear?"
Xia Yu's eyes were so deep that people couldn't tell what he was thinking, but his words rang in Xia Lei's ears.
Xia Lei looked at the game hall with a stunned expression, and said casually, "This game hall is my club's business, it has only been open for two months, and it contains arcade games bought from the island country. The business is very hot, and now I have opened it. With seven families, it can be regarded as a regular financial source in the society."
Xia Lei didn't care too much. After all, although the arcade made money, it was only a small amount of money.
There are seven game halls, large and small. There are a total of 35 game machines, and one Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for 4 game coins. Even if the business is booming, the seven game halls are only two or three thousand Hong Kong dollars in one day. , less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, this amount of money is just that for the Tigers with a monthly income of more than 8 million.
Besides, the cost of game machines is also high. After two months, the capital has not been earned back, which means that it is considered a stable source of income, and let the subordinates have a place for leisure and entertainment, so as not to have nothing to do. He will only agree to open if he causes trouble.
Xia Lei didn't care, but Xia Yu was interested.
Knowing that it was Xia Lei, Xia Yu, who was full of interest, walked directly opposite: "Come on, let's go and have a look."
Xia Lei was a little surprised. Seeing that Xia Yu was rarely excited, he obediently followed Xia Jun.
As soon as the curtain was opened, there was a fiery and smoky scene inside, and a sense of familiarity across time and space emerged in Xia Yu's mind.
Xia Yu and others who came in at night also caught the attention of the audience. Just as they were about to say something, the door curtain was opened again, and Xia Lei and Xia Jun walked in.
The younger brother watching the field was immediately shocked, thinking it was the boss Cha Gang, standing straight and respectfully saying hello to Xia Lei: "Boss."
Xia Lei nodded grimly, and directly instructed them: "Clear the field, give each of them ten game coins, and let them come back tomorrow."
The younger brother was stunned for a moment, and immediately agreed, and then the house was suddenly full of chickens and dogs. Although the players were very upset, they knew that this was the site of the Tigers, so they could only leave with the game coins.
Of course, there are no members of the Tigers Club. Seeing that the boss told them to leave, they didn't dare to let one go, so they left in a hurry.
Xia Yu looked at it like this and didn't stop it. After a while, the house became empty, but the mess was all over the place, revealing that it was messy before.
At this time, Xia Yu walked in and scanned the electronic screens that had not been turned off. He found that it was the same game console. Under a starry sky, a plane was flying on it, and various obstacles and planes appeared on the electronic screen from time to time. .
This is a shooting game!
Xia Yu made a judgment easily.
It's just that this game, he feels a little familiar and a little unfamiliar, has a paradoxical feeling.
After all, in later generations, when he was studying, he went to the game hall to watch people play, and he also occasionally played arcade machines.
But it was already in the 1990s, a decade or two later than now. Even if it is the same type of game, the later generations have been updated for several generations, and it is normal for him to not recognize the original version.
But don't worry, just ask.
Xia Yu asked Xia Lei, "Alei, what game is this?"
How could Xia Lei put his mind on such trivial matters, so he couldn't remember what game it was. He looked at a little brother who came out of the exchange desk in the back room, and said solemnly, "What game is this?"
The younger brother replied respectfully: "Boss, this game is called "Space Invaders", flying a plane to fight meteorites and invaders."
After Xia Lei heard this, he nodded slightly and looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu suddenly realized that it turned out to be "Space Invaders", and he said how it would look familiar.
The 1995 version of "Space Invaders" in his previous life was a classic version. In his previous life, he would play this game in addition to "The King of Fighters" and "Dinosaur Kombat" in the game hall.
Presumably the rough and rudimentary picture I have seen now should be the first edition.
For a time, Xia Yu suddenly had a childish innocence, and he had the urge to find the joy of childhood in his previous life.
He didn't hold back deliberately, but sat directly in front of a machine, holding the familiar joystick.
When the younger brother saw this, he quickly shoved a game coin into the coin slot.
Immediately afterwards, the interface for restarting the game appeared on the electronic screen. Xia Yu held the joystick and shook it back and forth, left and right, and pressed the two red buttons at the same time, looking for a feeling.
Xia Lei and Xia Jun were also interested, standing behind Xia Yu on the left and right, staring at the electronic screen, the other little brothers didn't dare to breathe, they stood quietly, even breathing deliberately slow.
"bang bang bang bang..."
"Clap clap... clap clap..."
“biu~biu~biu~”
"Pfft... pfft..."
A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Xia Yu couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth, devoted himself to playing the game seriously.
Although it was the first time to play, but after experiencing the baptism of the game of later generations, the difficulty of the most elementary arcade is completely pediatric for Xia Yu, and he got started at once.
Coupled with Xia Yu's success in martial arts, his hand speed and thinking reaction speed are very fast, and it is not too easy to operate.
The space plane moved back and forth, left and right on the screen, and by pressing the red button, bullets kept shooting from the plane, accurately focusing on the meteorites and space invaders that suddenly appeared.
Xia Yu was playing with relish, and Xia Lei and Xia Jun were both excited and itchy.
"Brother Jun, come together."
"Stuff the game currency!"
After talking to Xia Jun, Xia Lei instructed his younger brother, and the two of them sat in front of the arcade next to Xia Yu and began to play.
The younger brothers in the back looked at each other in dismay.
"I lost, why did I die so quickly..."
In less than twenty seconds, Xia Lei couldn't help but swear.
In less than two seconds, Xia Jun also complained: "Mine is also dead."
"Look at A Yu playing so well, why did we die as soon as we got started? The gap is so big?"
"A Yu, you've been playing for at least ten minutes and haven't died yet, what skills do you have?"
Xia Yu glanced at the two of them and smiled lightly: "Go find your own feelings, what's the fun of playing games with a strategy?"
After speaking, he turned his attention back to the game console in front of him.
Xia Lei and Xia Jun looked at each other and started again in disbelief. There was a younger brother standing beside them. After they died, they silently stuffed game coins, but they didn't dare to comment.
At this time, the younger brother present also recognized that Xia Yu was a stock god, the super boss of Xiangjiang.
It's just that the unattainable stock god in their eyes is actually playing games in the messy game hall in front of them, which makes them stunned.
If this scene was photographed and published in the newspaper, the public opinion in Hong Kong would definitely explode.
The problem is that it is so late, and there is no press conference here. Even if it does, it is a question mark if I dare to post it.
PS: I apologize, I was busy after 12 o'clock yesterday, and it was two o'clock after washing up, so I didn't change it. Sorry, there is another change in the evening, it is estimated that it will be one or two o'clock.
