Views:

Yi Xuan watched the number of stars on each sign as he walked forward.

This game hall covers a wide range of games. Among those games with two-star difficulty, Yi Xuan has seen many difficult games in his memory, including even the most difficult games like "Big Devil Village". , At first, he stayed away after playing a few times.

But this "Big Devil Village" is only two stars. According to the number of games in this game hall, it is impossible to have only two levels, so this game still seems to be not the most difficult game. When he reaches the end of the game hall, A row of dozens of uniformly shaped game consoles suddenly appeared in front of him. The display boards of these game consoles showed three huge golden stars. Obviously, these games should be the hardest in this game hall. , But what else can be more difficult than the abnormally difficult game like "Big Devil Village"

While thinking, he cast his gaze on the screen of the game console in the middle. A plot animation was playing on the screen. The figure of a huge ferocious red monster issued bursts of anger in the flames, with a mouth, surging. The flames engulfed the entire screen.

Then came the battle scenes of characters dressed as adventurers and monsters fighting. Yi Xuan became more familiar as he watched them. Isn't this "Diablo"? How come it turned into an arcade game.

He watched over a dozen arcade games with Samsung difficulty one by one, and he had some impressions on several of them, but these games were all computer games that were popular in the impression, such as Diablo, Legend of Blood, Warcraft, etc. In the column, it seems that this arcade hall is somewhat innovative. As an otaku player, Yi Xuan is not familiar with these games anymore, but after the arcade transformation, I don’t know what these games look like now. Take a look at the surroundings. Most of the players gather in front of two-star game consoles, and there are a few one-star game consoles, but the front of Samsung is deserted and there is no one. It seems that everyone is staying away from these machines.

Yi Xuan secretly analyzed that the biggest difficulty of these games compared with other arcade games is that other arcade game players always have the opportunity to get in touch with some in the past, and they can also practice their hands on weekdays. Although the difficulty is different, it is still more or less. General data can be obtained, but these arcade games are completely new. Although the game plot can be easily understood, there is no substantial content information. Although there are computer games for reference, God knows what is going on inside. In general arcade games, if you want to pass the level with one or two coins, you have to spend at least a dozen or even dozens of coins in the early stage to clear up wasteland, otherwise you can only rely on piles of coins to pass the level. It is estimated that there are not enough games. Under the premise of currency, no one will take risks easily.

What's more, if you want to clear the customs, you must try one coin by coin. It is estimated that it is difficult to pass the customs without a dozen coins. It is no wonder that it is difficult for Samsung.

It seems that it is better not to try lightly. Yi Xuan's hand gently stroked these machines, although he was reluctant to give up, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

Continue to visit this game hall, in addition to game consoles, on one wall, Yi Xuan also found something interesting to him, that is a huge LED display screen, divided into two pages, on top of it continuously scrolling broadcast. some information.

The page on the left is the team interface, which contains a lot of information about inviting teams.

"The Legend of Journey to the West" is a magic weapon team, three-level one, long-term strategy, member number: 0408.

"The Knights of the Round Table" unlimited credit card team, will come back version, membership number: 0234.

The masters brought the "Three Kingdoms", let me listen to the command, membership number: 0135.

"Raiden" cleared the team with one life, it will come, and the hands are cruel... Member number: 0213

Yi Xuan looked at the screen on the right again, but the screen on this side was information about buying and selling cards.

A high price for a set of Iori decks, some find me, membership number: 0412

Receiving the core ability card-the fluctuation of killing intent, long-term effective, some secret me, the price is negotiable, member number: 0345

Sell the best item card-invisibility cloak, a price of ten coins, climb away without coins, and die if you want to bargain, membership number: 0421

Sell the basic ability enhancement card-leg technique enhancement, only sell one coin, if you are interested, secret, membership number: 0356

Yi Xuan nodded. Although he doesn't have any valuable cards in his hand now, it can be seen from this billboard that good cards can indeed be sold for money. In the future, if you have a good card, you just need to advertise here. Don’t worry about selling it. stay home.

As for team information, he still can’t just team up with people. The most important thing now is to exercise his arcade game level first, and then increase the number of game coins in his hand. Otherwise, these ten coins are not enough. watch.

Made up his mind, Yi Xuan became interested in the all-inclusive membership number? Is it possible to join as a member here? Or need to apply for membership when advertising? When I came to the little girl selling coins, the little girl seemed very dissatisfied with interrupting her listening to the song, but after stopping Yi Xuan’s question, she immediately showed a rookie expression and pressed a few times on Yi Xuan’s watch. Yi Xuan realized that every person’s watch has a corresponding number, and the watch has the function of a secret person. The number is 0514 (I am going to die), which is really unlucky.

He glanced at the colorful games around, but Yi Xuan did not dare to play again. He now only has ten coins in total, but he dare not waste a little bit. Therefore, Yi Xuan wanted to first check the various rules and cards in the game hall. If you have enough understanding, you will have a detailed plan.

After observing a circle, making sure that there were no missing details, Yi Xuan turned and left the game hall.

Now that I have decided to make money by playing games and selling cards, it is necessary to improve my game skills. I haven't played arcade games for so many years, and Yi Xuan's game level has already fallen, so Yi Xuan decided to find one first. Practice your skills in the arcade hall.

Getting into the car, sparking, and stepping on the accelerator were all done in one go. After driving for two days, Yi Xuan was already familiar with the operation of this car.

Those who should go to work at this time have already gone to work. There are a lot fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and they drove smoothly towards Xicheng District.

I have spent 7 or 8 years in college and work in S City, so Yi Xuan is familiar with S City. There are still a few game halls in my impression, but now it seems that they are all called video games.

The hottest one in my memory is a shopping mall in the pedestrian street. The entire floor is a place to play. Every festival is full of parents and young couples who bring their children to play.

The car was parked in the underground parking lot with three turns and two turns. Yi Xuan took the elevator straight to the fifth floor of the mall, but when he entered the game hall, he was dumbfounded. Although it was Tuesday, there was still a lot of people in the mall, especially in the game hall. There are noisy music from game consoles and hordes of players everywhere, but how come these hordes of players are all children, usually 14-and-five-year-old half-year-olds, and they probably skipped class and ran out. The eldest one is not over twenty years old, and he has a classic haircut, and he knows that he is not doing his job.

Looking at the current game consoles, they are either casual games like hamsters, drums, and dancing machines, or shooting games like guns, tanks, and chariots. Occasionally one or two rows of racing cars, motorcycles, and dinosaur What about Kombat? What about the Three Kingdoms? Where's Tornado? What about the Western Gunners? How come all the classic games that you played in middle school are gone

The game hall is built according to the store’s floor. There are no clear boundaries, and the shape is not regular. Yi Xuan went around a few times, and finally saw a few King of Fighters and Street Fighters in an unobtrusive corner. Classic arcade, unlike other games, there are not many people in this area. It seems that the previous classic arcade games are really gone.

The games in the past have been completely replaced by these casual games. Yi Xuan looked at those old machines with emotion. Modern people’s lives are getting easier and simpler. Even computers have become tablet touch screens, so naturally they won’t. Some people are willing to work hard to remember those complicated skills, no wonder everyone likes to play games that are easy to learn and simple to operate.

What's more, now that computer games are booming, even if you want to play arcade games for nostalgia, you can completely solve it by installing an arcade simulator on your computer.

Originally, Yi Xuan also had this plan, but considering the difference in operation between the two, I still hope to be able to operate it on a real arcade machine.

It’s okay. Yi Xuan comforts himself. It’s impossible for every house to be like this. He remembers that there is a game hall near his house, under a not too big building. In his impression, it doesn’t seem to be as fancy as this one. I want to come. There should be.

His home is not far from the pedestrian street, so about twenty minutes later, Yi Xuan has arrived at the game hall in his impression, but Yi Xuan's heart is cold when he enters the door, although there is no such noisy shopping mall inside, but When I look at the shape of the game console, Yi Xuan knows that the type of this game hall is exactly the same as the one I just saw, because this one is much smaller than the one in the mall. After turning around, Yi Xuan didn’t even find the King of Fighters. , This is almost all games of fishing and mole-catching, and it's completely in a posture of not being able to enter after ten years of age.

In the car, Yi Xuan's head is big. I don't believe that there is no game hall in such a big city.

The ignition started, and Yi Xuan drove the car out and drove around the street, hoping to find an arcade hall that met his requirements, but after turning for more than an hour, he even saw the two arcade halls before. there is none left.
