Just when Lin Ping was about to go to Sanxingdui to see Ye Wenzhu the next day, this big event was happening in Neon Country.

A traditional marble game hall, now testing the newly installed color TV.

A total of 100 color TVs are placed in the second floor lobby in the form of a square array.

In front of each color TV is a red and white machine produced by EA Games.

It is not uncommon to bring a home game console into the arcade hall, but what is really rare in this arcade hall is that there is a coin port in front of each color TV, and the coin port is connected to a timer. Each game coin can be played smoothly for twenty minutes.

When the twenty minutes arrive, the timer will automatically cut off the power supply of the plug-in board.

"This timer is so easy to use, and these 100 color TVs save a lot of labor costs.

At first we planned to charge according to the rules of the game, for example, after the three lives of "Super Mary" were exhausted, it would cost a game coin.

However, this requires a lot of manual supervision. If you don’t notice it for a while, customers may start the game again.

Even if we artificially remove the reset button on the game console, we need to take care of one hundred color TVs, at least more than ten staff members are required.

Now with this timer, we only need two staff members. This saves a lot of money." The store owner said to the young people in front of him with great gratitude.

The shop owner not only thanked him verbally, but also took out a heavy paper bag.

"You are kind to you. This kind of timer was widely used in various industries more than ten years ago. We just modified it a little and could help you a lot, and we are very pleased." The young man took the paper bag and glanced inside, and the young man on this look smiled happily.

With the weight on his hands, the young man handed the paper bag to his friends with satisfaction.

"Everything has been tested, just call us if you have any problems. We will send someone to repair it 24 hours a day. Now if there is nothing we can do, we will leave first." The young man said goodbye to the store owner.

The shop owner bowed gently to express his gratitude and watched the few people leave.

When several young people disappeared on the street corner, several people couldn't wait to squat on the side of the road and opened the paper bag.

"How is the business I introduced is right?" Looking at the paper bag containing so much money, someone immediately took credit.

"The more business this kind of business, the better. We have made so much money just by making a little improvement. If there are more and more stores like this, wouldn't our products be sold across the country? By then, a few of us have not graduated from college, and we probably can buy a new car." Since there is a demand from the boss, it means that there is a market. If sales are opened, it will not be difficult for everyone to get rich. The difficulty now is that we don't know where the boss is next. The boss also doesn't know the existence of several of them.

"From tomorrow, each of us will go to business, and from Tokyo, it will spread to all surrounding areas. We will go to every game hall to introduce the benefits of this product to the boss in detail. Those bosses also open TV game console business. When promoting, you must tell these bosses how popular the previous store was.

However, with the popularity of gaming consoles now, there is no need for us to deliberately promote them. I believe that the store owners have already seen it. As long as our products are in front of him, they can solve their management problems. As long as the management is convenient, I believe that these bosses will choose to invest." Smart people in the small team have already thought about how to expand their business.

"Then I will prepare some printing promotional materials tomorrow. We will act separately and go in different directions. We will strive to let all game halls know that there are products like us in the shortest time.

If it is a small store, they probably won’t buy many game consoles in the future. We have limited manpower to meet the needs of big cities to the greatest extent. After returning to school today, everyone will quickly ask for leave with the teacher. In the next week, it will be related to whether we can make the first pot of gold!" The leader spoke and shared the cash in his hands for everyone.

After seeing the money, everyone was extremely excited. After all, having this money can improve their lives. Although they don’t have to worry about food or clothing, who doesn’t want to eat better and wear more beautifully.

If you want to live a better life, you need to use money to accumulate all this.

After the group scattered, the boss in the game hall had already begun to prepare for charges for consumers to experience.

"20 yen 5 game coins." There are arcades for putting game coins in the store, and the boss naturally continued to use these game coins.

However, it is precisely because there are game coins sold in the store that many consumers don’t even have to buy again and sit directly in front of the TV.

For many customers, the games on the arcade are already very skilled and even a little numb. Although the game hall updates one or two game consoles every month, for most people, the update speed is obviously too slow.

Now that there are new games to play, these people naturally have to start and experience it. In addition, the renderings of newspapers, TV stations, radio stations, and magazines these days. Many people have long been eager to start playing it themselves.

However, after a brief understanding of the game, players found that some games can only be played by one person and the other person can take over. It is obviously two controllers, which makes many people feel that it is not worth spending a game currency.

But soon, everyone discovered that "Tank War" was actually a game where two people played at the same time, and many people called the boss to put on the game cartridge.

After all, with the same game currency, two people can enjoy the game time happily, which is more cost-effective than one person.

For a time, more than 60 of the 100 game consoles were all played "Tank War". If it weren't for the insufficient cartridges prepared by the game hall boss, it would have been estimated that more than 80 of them would have been "Tank War War"!

However, just as all the customers were happily experiencing the new game, a drunk and hideous father slowly walked into the game hall with a bottle of wine.

The man walked back and forth in the game hall. As long as there were children playing the game console, the man would walk up to take a look.

After walking around the first floor, I didn't notice anything. The man raised his head and drank a few sips of wine, and carried the bottle to the second floor.

"Boy! It's better not to let me find you here." The man was still talking to himself while walking.

"I have warned you several times. This time I will break your legs if I find out that you dare to come to such a place." The man took another sip of wine as he spoke.

And just as the man sways, row after row of observations of each player along the color TV number.

On the No. 74 color TV, five or six little boys were playing games around their seats.

"Quick, eat that five-pointed star. After eating it, the tank's shells became even more powerful." The little boy standing next to him directed the two people in the seat.

"Oh..." However, the two players who were playing the game were so skilled that they just thought about replacing guns, and they were not even prepared for the enemy to come down. As a result, their hometown was directly killed by the enemy!

"You two are so stupid. Didn't you play once last time when you were at your classmate's house? Why are you still so poor now? It's time for us to replace people, we should replace people." Because the two friends were killed, everyone could only move their seats away and give them to the other two friends.

"This game coin is so worthwhile. All six of us can play a game coin for a while.

If you play this on an arcade, if you encounter a brand new game, it will probably take only two or three minutes, and you can only play it alone.

Now all six of us can play for at least five minutes. We still have seven coins, enough to play until we go home at night. "For such a great value and fun game, each of the six friends is extremely satisfied.

However, just when I was changing seats, someone looked forward.

After looking at it, the little friend immediately pulled the few people around him to squat down.

"Squat down, squat down..." The voice was filled with a hurried feeling of fear.

The friends around them obviously didn't realize what was going on, but everyone squatted down tacitly. It seems that the tacit understanding these people have cultivated since childhood far exceeds that of ordinary people!

"Kimura, your father is here, right in front." The little friend pointed to the distance along the gap between the color TV.

Kimura, who just directed everyone how to play games, looked pale when she saw her father through the gap in the TV.

"Seeing a way to slip away quickly. Look at your father's appearance, you're drinking again. If you are caught, you will definitely be beaten again." The eager tone of the friend showed that Kimura's beating should have become a common occurrence.

"Your father is on the right now, so hurry up and run away from the left. As long as your father can't catch someone here, there is no reason for him to hit you." The friend said with advice.

"Go away quickly and don't be caught. If it really doesn't work, we will help you delay." Although the friend was also very scared, in order not to let his companion be beaten again, everyone could only choose to protect him. After all, having an alcoholic father is really a desperate thing.

Taking advantage of the moment when the drunk man drank again, Nakamura lowered his head and fled from the left quickly.

After Nakamura ran out of the game hall, he ran towards his home like crazy.

Before my father arrives home, pretend to be doing his homework.

In the game hall, Nakamura's father discovered his friend who often played with his son.

"You little bastards, where is my son?" The man saw his son's friend, but he did not see his son. However, he was sure that his son must be with these people, and he might have hid somewhere.

Several friends smelled the strong smell of alcohol, and two of them didn't even dare to show up.

Although they are not their father, they have seen too many scenes of Nakamura being beaten up with their own eyes.

For children, even if they are not hit on themselves, the fear will suffocate them.

Fortunately, someone can still answer reluctantly.

"Student Nakamura is on duty today, and we left after school." A friend overcame his fear and said to the drunk man.

"Don't you all stay together often? Especially when you come to such places, you don't have to come in groups. Tell me quickly, where are you others?" The drunk man shook the bottle in his hand while talking, but the bottle didn't make any sound. Obviously, the bottle was empty.

Seeing the man waving the wine bottle, the other children were so scared that they were about to cry.

Everyone thinks that this man wants to use a wine bottle to smash everyone's head.

"Uncle, Nakamura is really on duty today. We originally wanted to invite Nakamura to come together, but he said he didn't want to come. He said he would study hard in the future and get into a good middle school. He said he would not come here to play with us in the future.

He hasn't played with us for more than a week in the past year, and he leaves early every time after school." As students, what they can say is nothing more than fooling parents by improving their academic performance.

Parents have only one requirement for them, that is, unlimited improvement in academic performance.

Since we know that parents only have this requirement, all primary school students only use this excuse to fool their parents.

"He really wasn't with you?" Although the drunk man didn't believe it, he didn't catch his son on the spot, and he couldn't have an attack. In addition, he heard his son's classmates say that his son should study hard in the future and try to get into a good middle school. This made him feel happy and change greatly.

"I really didn't stay with us. Besides, you don't usually give Nakamura pocket money, so he has no money to come here to play games." The little boy complained and said, looking at the drunk man.

However, after saying this, the drunk man looked around and could only helplessly carry the empty wine bottle downstairs.

Seeing the drunk man walking away, the few people who had already scared him, then they breathed nervously.

"I was so scared, so scared. I just thought he was going to hit my head with a bottle!" Due to the fright, the boy patted his chest while talking.

"It's really unlucky to have such a father." Someone said regretfully.

"I think my dad is bad enough, but compared to Nakamura's father, I think my dad is simply an angel. Not only does he never refuse to give me pocket money, but he has never hit me. At most, I just have to stand by my head with a small stool on my head.

If I choose to stand for punishment, I would rather be beaten. "When I think of Nakamura's father's appearance after drinking, the few people couldn't help but tremble.

"You guys say, will Nakamura be beaten after he returns home?" Although there is no risk for the time being, the drunkard drank again today, and someone asked nervously.

"It's hard to say about this. Whoever has drunk knows what kind of decision they will make! Even if Nakamura does his homework well at home, he might be beaten." Someone said with speculation.

"Why is Nakamura's father like this? I heard from my father that Nakamura's father used to be a great person. My father and Nakamura's father were also classmates before. Both of them were members of the school's football team and had worked hard for the honor of the school together. But why did he look like this now?" A friend asked incomprehension.

When I heard someone curious about the history of Nakamura's family, my friend who knew the inside story immediately said, "I heard from my father that it was because of Nakamura's mother. Nakamura's mother ran away with other men a year after giving birth to Nakamura. It is said that she went abroad, and it seemed that she had gone to the other side of the ocean!"

"No! I remember one time when I was playing at Nakamura's house, I asked Nakamura's father, where did Nakamura's mother go? Nakamura's father said that his mother was sick and dead!" Someone immediately added.

"For such a shameful thing, I'm afraid anyone would say that his wife was dead.

I remember Nakamura said that two years ago, Nakamura's mother called home. However, after Nakamura's father found out, he removed the phone number at home. This is why every time we look for Nakamura, we can only go to his home instead of making a phone call." My friend said, which clearly explained why Nakamura's home has no phone number.

"His mother is really cruel enough to abandon her own son. If I were Nakamura, I would hate her. Moreover, if I dare to call, I would definitely scold her." A friend said angrily.
