Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 803 Return to Tokyo
Drawing an oil painting is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task, so after Liang En completely finished the oil painting and handed it over to Mary, the time agreed with the Japanese side also arrived.

So after getting ready for departure, Liang En and the others took a plane all the way east, and then landed at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.

"Why is this place Tokyo again?" Joan of Arc asked curiously as she was driving to the hotel in the city center. "Japan is considered a big country in Europe, so why go to Tokyo whenever something happens."

"This is mainly because Japan's resources are too concentrated." Liang En said, looking at the rows of high-rise buildings outside the car window, "Basically all of Japan's resources are concentrated in the three major metropolitan areas. They're all in decline."

"So if you want to do this kind of publicity in this country, it is naturally the best in these three major city circles, and the best of the three major city circles is naturally Tokyo."

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, belongs to a corner of the Kanto region. It is located at the southern end of the Kanto Plain, facing Tokyo Bay, and roughly located in the center of the Japanese archipelago.

It is connected to Chiba Prefecture in the east by the Edogawa River, Yamanashi Prefecture in the west by the mountains, Kanagawa Prefecture in the south by the Tamagawa River, and Saitama Prefecture in the north.The total area is 2155 square kilometers.

At the same time, the city is also the economic center of Japan, and major Japanese companies are concentrated here.Most of them are located in Chiyoda District, Chuo District and Minato District.

Tokyo, together with Yokohama in the south and Chiba in the east, constitute the well-known Keihin Ye Industrial Zone in Japan.The main industries are iron and steel, shipbuilding, machine manufacturing, chemical industry, electronics, leather, electrical machinery, fiber, petroleum, publishing and printing, and precision instruments.

Tokyo's financial industry and commerce are developed, and domestic and foreign business activities are frequent.Known as the "Heart of Tokyo", Ginza is the busiest business district in the area.

The Tokyo metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area in the world, both economically and demographically. In 2008, the population of the greater Tokyo area reached 3520 million, and the GDP after adjusting for purchasing power parity was still as high as 14790 billion US dollars.

In 2010, the real GDP in terms of international exchange rates was as high as US$1.9 trillion, nearly twice that of the New York metropolitan area and South Korea, which shows the prosperity of this region.

The comprehensive strength of Tokyo ranks first among Asian cities, and the international community routinely regards it as one of the four major global cities with all-round dominance in the developed world, alongside London, New York, and Paris in the West.

"I think the recent development of Xingyue is very good, and the reputation of the Fate series is getting bigger and bigger, so when preparing to publish a new novel, you must choose the Tokyo cultural circle, and there is a high probability that you will choose a more famous place."

After dragging his luggage into the room, Liang En sat on the edge of the bed and said to Joan of Arc who was sitting across from him. At the same time, he glanced at his mobile phone. It's a pity that the other party will not officially send the invitation until tomorrow.

Because the city has a subtropical monsoon climate, the temperature outside is a little higher. The only advantage is that the city is located by the sea, so it doesn't have the usual stuffy feeling.

Knock, knock, knock - at around 9 o'clock the next morning, there was a knock on the door.Because of the reason that was notified last night, Liang En and the others, who had already had breakfast and got dressed at this time, quickly opened the door.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Takeuchi." Liang En looked at Takashi Takeuchi who sent invitations to his door with some surprise. After all, this is no longer the era when he just started his business in the past, and he can find someone to replace him in this kind of thing.

"Of course, I came to send you the invitation this time because I wanted to see you as soon as possible. As for Mushroom, he actually wanted to come, but the company always needs someone to look after the house, so he didn't come."

Takashi Takeuchi seemed very enthusiastic. On the one hand, the two provided the most basic start-up funds for the development of the entire company, and on the other hand, Liang En provided them with a lot of inspiration.

Whether it was the content about the character setting at the beginning, or the various photos and sketches of the archaeological site after that, they all brought great inspiration to them.

This is especially true for Takashi Takeuchi, who is mainly engaged in original paintings. He can see the artistic value of Liang En's sketches, and it can also inspire him to create.

"——Our first signing will be held in Akihabara." When everyone sat in the reception room and began to drink tea, Takeuchi talked about the plan for tomorrow morning.

"The specific location for the signing event will be at the Toranoana Akihabara store. This is also the place where many comics are first signed. This is also the best place we chose after looking around."

Akihabara is located in the Chiyoda district in the northeast of downtown Tokyo, on the Yamanote Line of the high-speed tram that surrounds the center of Tokyo. Although it used to be famous for its electric street, it is now more famous for its various services for otaku. shops.

As a gathering place of otaku culture, Akihabara has everything, whether it is electrical appliances, digital, anime peripherals, or game-themed cosplay, there is always something suitable for otaku.

There are various animation and game stores here, and huge animation posters can be seen everywhere on the surrounding high-rise buildings. You will see many cosplay beauties on the road, and there will be many ACG-related stores on both sides of the road.

And as long as you think about the audience of Fate's work, you will know that it is absolutely appropriate to put the signing meeting in this place.

This location is obviously a good location for Liang En, because he can take this opportunity to visit this very famous location both in this life and in the previous life.

Unlike the previous life with no money and no time, in this life, at the beginning, he ran around to make money and had no time to rest, but later because he used too much force before, so that his identity was no longer suitable for strolling in this kind of place, even if He is very young.

So it is obviously attractive for the two of them to find an opportunity to go there for a stroll this time, especially Takeuchi Takashi also invited Liang En to go in and experience the characteristics of Akihabara after the signing event.

For example, there is a maid cafe, and there is a dedicated AKB8 theater on the 48th floor of the Don Quixote store. Although normal ticket purchases require a lottery or something, you can always get performance tickets as long as you are willing to pay.

"—Believe me, here is the best maid cafe in Japan. We can all go together after our book signing." Speaking of the maid cafe, Takashi Takeuchi suddenly became excited.

Obviously, no matter which world Takeuchi Takashi is a serious maid fan. "Tsukihime" and "Fate/stay night" are also manifestations of his hobby.

But then again, some artistic quirks should be regarded as a very common situation, at least compared to the likes of wearing maid outfits, ladies who like to wear maid outfits should be regarded as very normal hobbies.

"By the way, is there anything I need to pay attention to in this kind of signing?" After chatting for a while, Liang En asked about the precautions in tomorrow's signing.

Although he once participated in a signing event as an author, there is still a difference between a signing event and a signing event. question.
