Chapter 179 The Eastern Video Game City
At ten o'clock in the morning, the trial operation officially started. Players holding free coupons poured into the Oriental Electronic Game City like a tide. Among them were some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. These people immediately disappeared at the fastest speed.

Li Wenbo originally didn't want to come today. He was hitting the most critical part of "Blood Battle on the Bund" and could challenge the highest difficulty soon, but his good friend Zhao Wei came to the door in person, so he didn't want to lose face, so he had to follow him. To play in the newly opened Oriental Electronic Game City, he did not expect to meet his classmate Wu Yufei at the door. Only then did he know that members of Fengyun Game Club can receive 50 game coins for free today, but Zhao Wei is not a member , Why are you so active today?

With the opening of the gate, the three of Li Wenbo followed the flow of people into the game hall.Zhao Wei was the most active, took out his free coupon, and rushed to the cashier first. Before Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei could get over it, he had already returned with a paper cup containing 20 game coins.

"There are so many people!" Zhao Wei stretched his body, and then shouted anxiously to Li Wenbo and the other two, "I tell you two, don't be modest here, hurry up and line up."

Only then did Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei come to their senses, and they responded, and were about to walk towards the long queues at the cashier counter, when suddenly the radio rang, and a sweet female voice came from inside: "Members of Fengyun Game Club, please pay attention!" Now, please take your membership card and go to the lounge next to the stairs to collect the game currency. Please pay attention..."

"Damn!" Zhao Wei couldn't help but enviously said: "I'll buy a set of games tomorrow, and become a member."

Wu Yufei was overjoyed, patted Zhao Wei on the shoulder, and said, "I told you to buy the original game, who told you not to listen."

"Old student Wu, let's go, I have seen many people go to the lounge." After speaking, Li Wenbo ran to the lounge.

"Wait for me, don't be so..." Just as they were talking, several people ran to the lounge, and now Wu Yufei didn't care about being poor, and hurriedly chased behind Li Wenbo.

Fortunately, there were four or five people in the waiting room who were in charge of exchanging game coins. Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei received 50 game coins in paper cups without much effort.As soon as they left the lounge, the two ran into Zhao Wei who was waiting outside. Seeing his expectant expression, the two had to take out 10 game coins and put them in Zhao Wei's paper cup. Li Wenbo this time I finally understood why Zhao Wei was so active in calling himself up.

Because of his good family conditions, Li Wenbo owned his own game console early on, and the arcade halls outside are said to be dimly lit and mixed with fish and dragons, so the number of times he went to the arcade halls outside to play can be counted on one hand. , basically an arcade rookie, if it wasn't for Zhao Wei's instigation this time, he still wouldn't want to come.Although this place is very different from the arcade halls he has been to before, the large number of game machines still made Li Wenbo feel a little dizzy. Holding a paper cup that he had turned into game coins, he asked Zhao Wei, who is known as an "arcade master", for advice. : "Zhao Wei, what do you think we should play?"

Zhao Wei glanced at the game console that was beyond his reach, scratched his head and said, "Well, why don't we take a look first."

Wu Yufei used to play arcade machines for several years when he was in his hometown, but after stepping into the hall of computer games, he also fell behind a lot, but relying on his old foundation, he is still better than Li Wenbo, and he is considered a rookie who is better than Xiaobai.Now even the "experts" have no idea, and the rookie naturally can't come up with better suggestions.So a novice, a rookie and a "master", all three of them carried paper cups and started to stroll around slowly.

Not long after walking, Li Wenbo made a discovery: "Well, look, the words 'Huai...Old... District' are written on the wall."

"Oh, this is "Pacman", "Little Pig", "Chen Long Kicks the Hall", um, there is also "Elevator War". I didn't expect such an old game to be available, no wonder it is called the nostalgic area." Wu Yufei relied on With his background in arcade halls, he recognized many familiar games.

"Hey, look, there is also "Red Dead Redemption" here." Li Wenbo finally found a game he had played before, and said excitedly: "At that time, some people didn't see it clearly and thought it was "Wild Whore". hehe."

Zhao Wei looked at the protagonist who knocked the enemy to the ground with a beautiful roundabout kick on the game console next to him, and the familiar "uh ah" sound made by the enemy before he died, and many memories flooded his heart.Looking back, he found that Wu Yufei behind him was also staring at the game console, so he asked, "Wu Yufei, have you played this game before?"

"Of course I have played such a classic game, "Double Dragon", I was able to pass the level with one coin before." Wu Yufei said proudly.

"Let's say, let's play here for a while." Li Wenbo hasn't seen many of these games in the nostalgic area, but seeing that almost half of the game consoles are full of people sitting in front of them, and they are all playing happily, he couldn't help but come here interest.

Zhao Wei is not very interested in these games in the nostalgic area. Although there are some not-so-old games such as "Famous General", "Dinosaur Kombat", and "Tiger Fighter", they have rich experience in arcade games. He knew that when he went to a new game hall, he had to find out which games were available first, so that the game currency in his hands could be used to the maximum effect, so he immediately rejected Li Wenbo's proposal: "Don't be in such a hurry, you see that there are so many games here." Big, we haven’t seen the machine over there yet, let’s take a look first and then talk about it.”

Not long after walking out of the nostalgic area, Zhao Wei noticed a yellow-haired guy with black hair all around him, so he dyed his hair alone, so he didn't care whether he wanted to pay attention to him or not.The yellow-haired man also held a paper cup in his hand. After wandering among several game machines for a while, he chose the one on the side and sat down.Putting the paper cup away, Huang Mao touched himself for a long time, and finally took out half a pack of crumpled cigarette cases.He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth. Huang Mao took out a lighter and lit the cigarette, then took a deep breath, and a choking smoke immediately filled the air.

At this time, a waitress came over with an ashtray, smiled and said to Huang Mao: "Sir, I'm sorry, we don't allow smoking here."

Huang Mao glanced at the waitress and said disdainfully, "Fart, how can there be a game hall where people don't smoke."

The waitress handed over the ashtray, continued to smile and said to Huang Mao: "Sir, I'm sorry, we really can't smoke here."

"TNND," Huang Mao stood up angrily, and was about to activate the "Insult" skill according to his past habits. Before he could open his mouth, a strong man in security clothing had already walked over.

"What happened?" the security guard asked kindly.

The security guard's tone was very kind, but it didn't feel like this when it fell into Huang Mao's ears. After comparing the thickness of the arms of the two, Huang Mao found sadly that with his own ability, three or four tied together would be fine. Not someone else's opponent.So he hurriedly put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and then apologized again and again: "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, I won't do it next time."

At this time, Li Wenbo also noticed the movement here, and seeing Huang Mao put out the cigarette, he said to Wu Yufei beside him: "I didn't expect smoking to be banned here, but this is good, at least the air is much better, at least for us That's the case with these two non-smokers."

Wu Yufei nodded and echoed, "That's right, it's better not to smoke."

"Hey, let me tell you two, don't provoke me here, I just have this hobby." Zhao Wei also has a pack of unsealed cigarettes on him, and he originally planned to find a place to play before smoking, but now It seems hopeless.

"Then who can blame you, you still want to come to this place." After speaking, Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei laughed together.

"Tch, what's the big deal, the big deal is not to smoke." Zhao Wei snorted and walked forward immediately.

……

After wandering around for a while, the three of them found that there are relatively new games here, such as flying shooting, horizontal version clearance, combat fighting, line elimination, sports competitions and other types of games, especially the combat fighting category. It took up half of it, but Zhao Wei also noticed that the fighting game console here is a bit different from what he saw before.

"Why does the game console here only have one controller? Could it be that it can only be played solo, not two people?" Zhao Wei felt very puzzled, so he planned to choose a "King of Fighters" that he was best at to try.

There are at least seven or eight "King of Fighters" machines in this one, and they all look brand new without much difference. Zhao Wei randomly picked a machine that no one was playing with and sat down. Unexpectedly, the armchair looked unremarkable. It's quite comfortable to sit on.Zhao Wei took out a game coin from the paper cup and put it into the game machine. With a clear sound of coin insertion, the picture on the screen changed, and several large characters "The King of Fighters'95" appeared.

The English in the front did not attract Zhao Wei's attention, but the huge "95" in the back really didn't matter whether he wanted to or not.Zhao Wei scratched his head: "This doesn't seem to be the "King of Fighters" I played before. I remember that the words on it seem to be different, and the ending is 94. Could it be a new version of the game."

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Wei couldn't help becoming excited, and immediately pressed the start button on the game console to enter the game.The character selection screen appeared on the screen, Zhao Wei finally confirmed this time, this is definitely a new game, because the version he played before selected teams based on nationality, but now he can directly select characters, now he can directly Choose your favorite characters to form a team to play.However, Zhao Wei also found that several original characters were cancelled, and several new characters were added, especially the red-haired one, who looked very arrogant, so he decided to choose new characters to try.

"IORIYAGAMI (八神庄)", "EIJIKISARAGI (Kyakusaragi [-])", "BILLYCANE (Billy Kane)", Zhao Wei selected his new team to officially enter the game.After spending two coins, Zhao Wei gradually figured out the basic characteristics of the new characters. The guy wearing the mask has strange moves, while the guy with the stick looks very combative, but the red-haired guy really deserves his arrogant look , not only makes a weird laugh as soon as it appears on the stage, but also has a very gorgeous nirvana, and its power is also very powerful.

Zhao Wei was about to continue trying, when suddenly there was a notification on the screen that there was a challenger appearing, he habitually looked to the right, but no one appeared, now he was confused: "It's not next to it, could it be that it's on the opposite side?"

But now there is no time to study this problem, the challenger has already appeared.The first opponent to appear was Kusanagi Kyo, the manipulator of the flames. Zhao Wei had played it before, and knew that this was not an easy character to deal with, so he had to give up exploring and concentrate on meeting the enemy.

Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei stood behind Zhao Wei and watched for a while, and were about to leave, but the appearance of the challenger made them stay curiously. The two are not good at this kind of fighting games, especially Li Wenbo It can be said that I have never played it at all, but it is quite interesting to watch two people fight.

After watching the match for a while, Wu Yufei found that Zhao Wei's opponent was not too strong. He lost all five sets in a row, but he was not completely powerless to fight back. Occasionally, he could play a 2:3 situation.But this challenger is still quite persistent. It can be said that he has fought and failed repeatedly, and has continuously invested in game coins to take on new challenges.Out of curiosity, Wu Yufei walked around to the opposite side of Zhao Wei's machine and found that an uncle was playing there with his legs crossed, and there was a large box of game coins next to it, which seemed to contain at least a hundred pieces.

Finding out about the situation, Wu Yufei came back again, patted Zhao Wei on the shoulder, and said to him: "Stop beating, the uncle on the opposite side has a box of game coins, we can't finish beating like this, let's go play other games. "

Successive victories made Zhao Weizheng excited, and he was not willing to go, he didn't even believe Wu Yufei's "a box of game coins". If there were free game coins, who would pay for them?

Seeing that Zhao Wei was not far away, Wu Yufei had no choice but to ask Li Wenbo to leave together.After walking for a while, the first floor was basically finished, and the two of them hadn't found the game they wanted to play. At this time, Li Wenbo saw a few players carrying paper cups walking upstairs, so he decided to follow and have a look.

When they came to the second floor, the two were stunned by the scene in front of them. This place is bigger than the place downstairs, and there are more game consoles than downstairs. It's beyond the edge.

The two, who were a little dizzy from the shock, walked forward slowly. Not far in front of them was a place that looked like a stage. There were about ten game consoles around the stage, and a large group of people gathered there to watch.The two felt very curious, so they also leaned over, intending to see what kind of game is so attractive.

Squeezing in, it turned out that it was playing a football game. Li Wenbo looked at it for a while, and it definitely looked familiar. It seemed to be a bit similar to a football game "Perfect Eleven" on the Super Nintendo. It also had wonderful commentary and cheers. But the game screen I see now is much better than that of "Perfect Eleven", and it looks like three-dimensional.

When I got closer, I realized that there were several people fighting each other, and there was a picture of one of the battles on the stage curtain, and someone even held a microphone, introducing the battle situation like a commentator. The skills of the two sides in the battle were almost the same , Both the offense and defense played vigorously, no wonder it attracted so many people to watch.

After watching the football game for a while, the two continued to walk forward, and found that there were many people standing in front of several game consoles, each with their guns shooting. War cops 2" gun game.

Li Wenbo poked Wu Yufei with his elbow, and said, "Let's just play this, anyway, we still have so many game coins in hand, otherwise we will have to eat if we continue to transfer."

Wu Yufei looked at his watch, and it was past eleven o'clock. He nodded and said, "Well, I can't go on wandering around like this anymore. Well, let's play with this."

There happened to be an empty machine next to it, so the two quickly put in game coins, held the light gun in front of the screen, and started their own battle.

There was a "pop" gunshot, and the level selection screen appeared. Li Wenbo held the host's light gun and asked, "File1, File2, File3, which level should we choose?"

"Of course... it's File1. Let's start with the simple one." Wu Yufei looked at the screen and replied.

"Okay!" Li Wenbo fired a light gun at the area of ​​​​File1. With the sound of the prompt, the first level of the game began.

File1. BigChase...

As the screen moved, the two held guns, carefully observed the situation on the screen, and were on guard carefully.A black car passed by, and suddenly a gangster with a blue hood appeared on the first floor of a building in front of him.

"There are enemies, fight quickly..." Li Wenbo yelled while moving the light gun to shoot to the right, firing six bullets in a row before killing the enemy.

Li Wenbo's cry startled Wu Yufei, and he instinctively fired two shots. At this time, another gangster with a blue hood appeared on the left side of the screen, but Li Wenbo's gun was out of bullets. Wu Yufei had no choice but to move the light gun to Shoot from the left to buy time for Li Wenbo to reload.After killing the gangster with three shots, before he breathed a sigh of relief, a masked gangster wearing sunglasses appeared on the right again. Wu Yufei hurriedly turned his gun and fired a shot, but the shot missed in a panic. Fortunately, Li Wenbo had already finished the shot. Only then can the gangster be killed before he fights back.

Then the frequency of the enemy's appearance began to accelerate. The two panicked and clumsy, gradually unable to resist, and even killed the hostage calling for help by a miss. The two had a GameOver in less than 3 minutes.

Looking at the dazzling "GameOver" on the screen, Wu Yufei said to Li Wenbo: "We can't be in such a mess, we have to divide the area, you on the left are in charge, and I on the right are in charge. The other two don't shoot bullets at the same time." Light up, and if one guy needs to reload, the other guy takes cover."

"Okay, let's do this, let's continue." Li Wenbo put 4 game coins into the game machine, and then the two of them pressed the start button to start a new challenge.Relying on the division of labor and cooperation between the two, the fight was easier this time, and the scene of the speeding car chase was played in one breath.As the cooperation became more proficient, the two of them finally broke through to the cargo yard after spending another 8 game coins. They met the boss who could release rockets and throw wooden boxes and oil barrels. The rockets fired by the BOSS and the wooden oil barrels dropped one by one exploded, and the two of them had only the last drop of blood left. Unexpectedly, the BOSS suddenly dropped a huge car. It happened that Wu Yufei had run out of bullets, and Li Wenbo was alone. There was no time to destroy the flying car, and the two of them unfortunately GameOver again.

Wu Yufei was about to continue to toss coins, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Zhao Wei.Just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Wenbo first asked, "Zhao Wei, are you finished playing the game?"

"That uncle is too scary. There is really a big box of game coins, one-on-one. I can beat him with one or two, but I can't stand up to others. That uncle just puts in coins when he loses, and he doesn't take a breath. The tactic of using human waves has worn me to death. Sigh..." At the end, Zhao Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"Tch, I told you earlier that the game currency is too much, but you didn't listen." Wu Yufei patted Zhao Wei, who had a painful face, and said like a big brother: "How about it, if you don't listen to my buddies, you will lose money." In front of you!"

"Okay, okay, I think Zhao Wei will know next time." Seeing Zhao Wei's bitter face, Li Wenbo hurried out to make a rescue: "How about the three of us go over there and have a look."

Wu Yufei readily agreed, and Zhao Wei did not raise any objections, so the three of them took their belongings, moved forward, and started a new exploration process...
