Game company goes bankrupt? I backhand cyberpunk!

In early November, in a convenience store in Pengcheng, Zhou Wu looked at Weibo and his expression gradually became distorted.

Until a little girl's voice sounded.

dad!

Zhou Wu's expression gradually became calmer, and gentleness appeared in his eyes. He walked out of the counter, and with a smile on his face, he came to a little girl with two little girls, squatted down, stretched out his hands, and said loudly: Hey~

Yaya is back~

Dad, mom bought me candied haws on a stick when she picked me up! The little girl shook the candied haws in her hand like she was showing off her treasure, and took a sip on the man's face affectionately. Then she smiled shyly and tilted her head back. Don't let Zhou Wu kiss her.

Where's mom?

Mom went shopping for groceries!

Then you go do your homework quickly. You can only play on the computer after you finish your homework!

Okay! The little girl nodded obediently, got off Zhou Wu's body, walked into the back room of the convenience store carrying a small schoolbag, and then laboriously moved a small table covered with cartoon characters out. That's the desk she specially uses for doing homework!

Whenever school is over, Zhou Xiao will drag the small table to the door of the convenience store and help her Internet-addicted father look at the store while doing homework.

After all, my father is a middle-aged man addicted to the Internet!

I really like playing games!

Zhou Xiao also inherited his father's genes and loved playing games. He was extremely talented in gaming and had already played various games at a young age. However, Zhou Xiao was not very fond of the fighting games that his father liked to play. She likes it because she thinks it’s not difficult and it’s so easy to play!

Just defend, counterattack, hit people, and win~

Although Zhou Xiao couldn't beat his father, Zhou Xiao could beat many people. Zhou Wu didn't know whether to be happy or sad about this.

My daughter inherited her bloodline and is extremely talented in fighting games. She already has a strength of 18,000 points at the age of 9, surpassing many fighting game enthusiasts. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a little genius, but it makes Zhou Wu sad. Unfortunately, Zhou Xiao was born in the wrong era. If she had been born in his era, there might have been a national female fighting game champion in China.

He might even be a world-class player!

However, fighting games have become lonely. Zhou Wu remembers that when he was young, the arcade where he always skipped class and went with his friends has now become a billiards and card game hall, and the video game store that was once popular in the streets and alleys is now also There may be a few machines here and there in large shopping malls, and most likely they are stores specializing in claw machines and somatosensory VR.

Fighting game?

Oh, something buried in the ground.

But Zhou Wu held the phone tightly, he didn't know how to choose.

Just now, his old friend sent him a message, telling him the news about Nanxing. As a man who already had a family, he had been derailed by the Internet for a while, so he didn't He didn't understand what was happening on the Internet, and he didn't play Nanxing's previous games.

But Zhou Wu played Street Fighter 3, and in his spare time after his daily busy life, he reached the 17th place in the national rankings in just a few days.

In the words of my old friend, they all talked about how good the games made by Nanxing are. This time Nanxing switched to fighting games. The Street Fighter 3 that Zhou Wu played was made by them. Moreover, Nanxing will hold a game competition recently. There are 200 people in the first place. There is a cash reward of 10,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan for second place, and rewards for third, fourth to twentieth place!

My old friend is a die-hard fan of fighting games and was once a fan of Zhou Wu. When he told Zhou Wu the news, he naturally wanted Zhou Wu to participate in the competition.

And Zhou Wu.

Sighing, the thirty-five-year-old man stood up and returned to the counter.

In the evening, Zhou Wu and his wife and daughter were eating in a convenience store. They had three dishes and a ribs cooked with corn. Then he picked up a spoon and scooped out the soup. Zhou Wu suddenly noticed that his wife opposite was looking at him, so he asked curiously: What's wrong?

Zheng Wan bit her chopsticks, tilted her head to look at Zhou Wu, and said, Husband, don't you have anything to say to me?

Zhou Wu was confused after hearing this and shook his head: Say? What did you say? Did Yaya commit another crime at school?

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao immediately pouted and said dissatisfied: What do you mean I've done something wrong again? I've been very good recently, okay?

This girl, Zhou Xiao, is the male version of Zhou Wu when he was a child. He was naughty, fought, played games, and did everything.

At a young age, she was already like a big sister in school. It was clear that little boys hated playing with little girls when they were young, but it was different here with Zhou Xiao. She was great at playing games and would find levels that the boys couldn't pass. For this reason, she has to offer snacks to her.

And Zhou Xiao has become the leader of the boys. If a boy bullies a girl, she will go up and apologize, and the little boy will apologize obediently, for fear that Zhou Xiao will not let him play, and because of this, Zhou Xiao is also the eldest sister in the girl group. exist.

This also means that whenever something happens in their class, it is most likely caused by Zhou Xiao, and the teacher often asks Zhou Wu and Zheng Wan to talk to the school.

It's not Yaya's business, it's your business.

Me? I'm just in the store. I haven't done anything recently. Zhou Wu shook his head quickly, and then whispered: Just, have you played games recently?

Yeah, it's just about the game. Zheng Wan smiled, stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of ribs for Zhou Wu, and continued: The Stardew Valley I played before was a game made by Nanxing, and I also watched Weibo today. Bo, Fighting Cup, husband, don’t you say something? I don’t believe you don’t know, your friends must have told you.”

. Zhou Wu was silent.

After a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile: It's all over. I'm thirty-five now. I can't even fight if I want to. The game has nothing to do with me, so I won't join in the fun.

Zun Du Fake Du~ Zheng Wan said.

A serious woman in her thirties, do you think you are still young? Zhou Wu rolled his eyes.

I'm eighteen this year! Don't talk nonsense! I don't want to curse in front of my children. Zheng Wan, a girl from the north, immediately frowned and said coldly.

Zhou Wu immediately apologized.

Forget it, let's get down to business. Husband, do you really not want to go?

I'm not irritating you. I'm not setting you up for a trap. I really want to know whether you want to go or not? If you want to go, I will definitely not stop you. I know that fighting games are Your favorite thing, ah no, I am your favorite thing.

Mom, what about me? What about me? I'm dad's favorite thing! Zhou Xiao interjected from the side.

Zheng Wan laughed, reached out and tapped Little Carrot's head, and responded: Yes, yes, you are dad's favorite, I am dad's second favorite, and fighting games are dad's third favorite.

That's pretty much it. Zheng Xiao, a brat, nodded with satisfaction.

But Zhou Wu became even more silent.

The competition will be held for several days, and we are still out of town. It has been a week since we went back and forth. Yaya is so naughty. You have to look after the store, take care of your parents, and keep an eye on her. It will be very hard.

Oh my God, this is such a big deal. You're going away for a week, and it's not like you'll never come back. Just be tired when you're tired. You've been tired for ten years. What can I do if I'm tired for a week? You and I Say yes, you are already thirty-five, and this is your last chance. If you don't go, don't regret it when you are old and blame me on the hospital bed. Zheng Wan rolled his eyes and said.

After saying that, Zheng Wan tilted his head and pouted, held his chin in his hands and said, Work hard for your dream again~

Zhou Wu was amused, and then said, Then, let me think about it again.

Well, think about it carefully. Your baby is the child. Isn't the child already gone?

He went? How did you know?

Weibo, he posted his ticket to Los Angeles on Weibo. Husband, I told you to use these things more. If you don't want to, you have to guard the store and your broken computer every day. Look. , are you out of touch with the world?

.

Late at night, Zhou Wu was lying on the bed, and the steady breathing of his wife Zheng Wan reached his ears. He opened his eyes and looked at the dark mosquito net, his eyes shining silently.

Has the child Zhuo Jun gone?

As the two prides of the era, Zhou Wu and Xiaozi were the two most dazzling fighters of that era. Following them were Lao K, He Laoer, Ah Hui and others.

South Star Cup?

Zhou Wu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his fighting spirit seemed to be gradually awakened.

As a professional fighting game player, never giving up is Zhou Wu’s credo.

Then fight for your dream again.

My wife is right.

If he doesn't go this time, he will never be able to get involved in fighting again. He is already thirty-five. At this age, his reflexes and endurance have already declined greatly. In a few years, when he reaches forty, it will completely disappear. I have no chance to compete.

so.

——————

In the early morning, Zheng Wan got up from the bed, looked at the empty side, stretched out first, then Zheng Wan went out to another door wearing a nightgown and slippers.

Yaya, get up soon, we have to go to school!

But her daughter didn't answer her voice. After knocking twice more, Zheng Wan opened her daughter's door.

Then, what I saw was an empty room.

Huh?

Zheng Wan was stunned, and just when she was looking for the phone to ask if Zhou Wu had sent her daughter to school, the door to her home opened.

Zhou Wu came back, holding in his hand the joystick that he kept in the convenience store as a family heirloom.

Yo~~~ Seeing this, Zheng Wan leaned against the door with his feet raised and looked at Zhou Wu with a smile.

Aren't you just like a boxer taking out his favorite gloves and finding his favorite joystick?

Have you figured it out?

Well, I'm going to give it a try, so I'm going to have to work hard for you during this period. Zhou Wu nodded with a smile.

Then, he placed the rocker on the shoe cabinet next to the door, and strode towards Zheng Wan.

But before I go, I have to feed you first.

Come on, while Yaya is not here, I will teach you a lesson today! Zhou Wu said loudly, stepped forward and picked up Zheng Wan. Unlike most men in Guangdong, Zhou Wu, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, held Zheng Wan in his arms. Wan, carried it on his back.

In exchange, Zheng Wan screamed loudly:

You're going to die! You're going to die so early in the morning!

After a while, a humming sound came from the closed door.

——————

Brother! This way, come here!

At the Los Angeles Airport in the afternoon, as soon as Zhou Wu got off the plane, he met an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

He Laoer, who is tall but skinny like a monkey, is a short, baby-faced child, and Ah Hui, who wears some exaggerated clothes and has the aura of a big brother.

Are you really able to come? I thought you wanted to watch us play at home. Damn it. He Laoer came up and said.

Zhou Wu glanced at him, reached out and pushed him, What's your ranking? Are you talking to me like this?

Damn it, didn't you just suppress me a little back then? What do you think a dog is calling? He Laoer said unhappily.

That doesn't seem to be a bit, right? Ah Hui said next to him.

The child was also laughing, and then several old boys took a taxi together and headed towards the hotel.

The competition starts the day after tomorrow. Let's stay in the hotel for a few days. By the way, did you fucking sign up and you're here? He Laoer said to Zhou Wu in the car.

Zhou Wu rubbed his nose and said with a smile: My wife signed up for me this morning.

Fuck, I really don't know what my sister-in-law is interested in you. My sister-in-law is so beautiful, why would she just follow a piece of shit like you? He Laoer said with a mean mouth.

But everyone is also used to He Laoer's mouth. After playing together for so long, everyone is familiar with He Laoer's character.

Because of this mouth, He Laoer had fought with people in offline matches before. It was a real hand-to-hand fight, and he was bloody!

Fighting game matches turn directly into fighting matches!

He Laoer is the one who really likes fighting!

After arriving at the hotel, several people started one-on-one to hone each other's skills.

When they went to play games abroad, foreigners looked down on them, so they hugged each other to keep each other warm.

——————

How many people signed up?

There are 3105 people in total. Half of them will be screened out in the first round. The second round will be based on the first round, and the loser group and the winner group will be determined in the end. Luoyang stood in front of Lin Yuan and said loudly.

The first time a competition was held, Nanxing held it very hastily. Even the venue was used within the company. However, for a fighting game competition, there was indeed no need for a venue.

The competition this time will also bring experience to Nanxing.

Maybe there will be Pokémon competitions in the future?

This is all impossible to say.

What about live broadcast promotion? Lin Yuan asked Luoyang again.

Luoyang said quickly: We are ready. Starting from the first round the day after tomorrow, we will broadcast from multiple perspectives. We have hired a professional directing team, and we have also found some anchors to support the scene.

What about food?

Um, a lunch box, the kind with chicken legs. Luoyang said with a frown.

Luocheng is indeed a small place. These lunch boxes are made by people from Luoyang. Otherwise, making lunch boxes for thousands of people, oh, thinking about this quantity is terrifying.

Everything is done, then the next step is to wait.

Lin Yuan smiled, nodded and said.

All is ready except for the opportunity!

I hope these players can bring some surprises to themselves!

Nanxing can only decide half of whether the first Nanxing Cup is popular or not. The remaining half is to see whether the players can contribute wonderful operations on the field!

This is their stage, not Nanxing’s stage!
