One early morning in the spring of 1993, in an ordinary residential house in Tokyo, a light in the attic had not been turned off for a long time.
And in this attic, there was a man sitting in front of a desk lamp assembling some kind of electronic equipment.
Beside him, various circuit components were piled up scatteredly, and some finished octopus meatball boxes were piled up in a messy manner.
In the darkness of the room, a girl was sleeping soundly with her hands on the pillow. Judging from the dark bags under her eyes, it was obvious that this girl had stayed up late for a long time.
But those who continue to sit in front of the desk lamp and work hard seem to be tirelessly continuing to assemble electronic components.
The soldering pen next to it was still steaming slightly, and from time to time the man would pick up the soldering pen and add various strange circuit components to the circuit board.
Finally, when the six o'clock bell rang, the person in front of the desk lamp let out a long breath.
"Finally finished!"
The man in front of the desk lamp made a sound of excitement that could not be concealed.
The girl behind him was slightly awakened by the sound. She rubbed her eyes and stood up to look at the man in the direction of the desk lamp.
"Takeyu-san, is it finally done?"
Zhu Youxing's body in front of the desk lamp trembled slightly, and then he turned around with the ugly-looking circuit board in his hand.
He shook the crude circuit board in his hand as if to show off and said: "Yes, it's done! The world's first home game console is born!"
Girls don't understand home game consoles.
But she understands one thing.
The work is finally over!
She felt that she should not accept this job because it was simply not done by humans!
About four weeks ago, Airi Hayasawa just graduated from college.
After just graduating, she was unwilling to follow her parents' arrangements and find a man to marry and become a housewife.
She wants to have her own life.
It’s just that the reality is extremely shocking.
In this era of economic depression, it is getting harder and harder to find a job, especially for a female college student like her who has just graduated, and her future is even more bleak.
The most important thing is that when she got excited, she majored in electronic and electrical engineering in college.
It is even more conceivable that a girl with this kind of expertise would want to find a job in a place like Tokyo.
As far as she knew, all the female classmates in her major got married right after graduation. It seemed that women majoring in electrical engineering were only suitable for the 'job' of getting married right after graduation and becoming housewives.
No company would want a female electrical and electronics engineer.
It was at this time that Zhu Youxing appeared in front of him.
It's the guy who has been making game consoles just now.
She still remembers the scene that day.
This man stood in front of himself, who had just failed the interview, with a smile on his face.
Then the first thing he said was: "Want to change the world?"
This sentence is not important, but the following sentence is.
"The daily salary is 10,000 yen, paid daily."
This is extremely tempting for girls who have never been able to find a job.
Of course, she was also wary of whether this man was doing something illegal.
But when she carefully followed Zhu Youxing to his home, he discovered that the other party just wanted her to help build a weird device.
A device that can be connected to a TV and then controlled by two weird-looking things.
Now, after four weeks of working day and night, she and Zhu Youxing finally produced what Zhu Youxing had imagined.
What Zhu Youxing is holding now is the result of their hard work over the past four weeks.
Looking at the circuit board that didn't look very beautiful at first glance, Airi Hayasawa wanted to complain. What kind of weird thing is this?
Fortunately, I didn't neglect my studies when I was in school, at least I could still help make something like this.
Zhu Youxing looked very excited.
He excitedly took the completed circuit board and ran towards the TV.
Even if he accidentally steps on a lot of electronic components that can hurt people's feet, he doesn't care at all.
Arriving in front of the TV, Zhu Youxing skillfully picked up a video cable and plugged it into the TV and the exposed circuit board socket.
Airi Hayasawa is no longer sleepy now.
Even though she wanted to sleep now, she wanted to see how interesting this thing she had worked hard on for four weeks was.
During the four weeks, Airi Hayasawa not only made this thing with Takeyusei, but also often listened to Takeyusei introduce the interesting aspects of this thing.
"This game console can bring new and interesting things to the world. Of course, it can also bring a huge market."
"Game consoles will also become an indispensable form of entertainment for human beings in the future. Regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone will be addicted to video games."
Airi Hayasawa had no idea about this, but since Takeyusei described it like this, she would have some expectations.
"Okay, let's officially welcome the home game console to this world."
At this moment, Zhu Youxing gently closed his eyes, as if performing some kind of ritual, and his expression seemed to sublimate.
This guy actually looks pretty good.
Airi Hayasawa was thinking so at the moment.
drop.
On that somewhat ugly circuit board, the red light indicating power on lights up.
At the same time, the TV screen was also lit up at this moment.
Airi Hayasawa also got closer out of curiosity.
From Zhu Youxing's perspective, the sound of music he was once very familiar with slowly sounded.
Light, light, light~wait for the light~come on!
It was an unforgettable memory of a beautiful moment in his memory.
Super Mario Bros.
Several English words that Zhu Youxing is extremely familiar with were displayed on TV.
"Oh, I remember this, this is something you made on the computer." Airi Hayazawa opened her eyes slightly and pointed at the TV screen.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Zhu Yuxing pick up what he named a game controller and start to control the picture on the TV.
On the TV, a plumber with a big nose, a little chubby, and wearing suspenders danced around the screen following Zhu Yuxing's control.
The height of this jump is like that of a rabbit.
Airi Hayasawa blinked her eyes.
If she knew modern buzzwords, she would definitely say this:
That's it?
A device that remotely controls the characters on the TV screen?
What's so fun about this thing?
Airi Hayasawa couldn't imagine it at all.
Electronic games.
This is something completely foreign to this world.
However, it is not unfamiliar to Zhuyouxing.
Because in the world before I traveled through time, video games had long become one of the most important forms of entertainment for people in that world.
Zhu Youxing is a time traveler.
He is a Chinese from 2020.
In the days before he traveled through time, he was running around looking for work in the hot summer.
When he can't find a job every day, his only solace when he goes home is these video games.
But that day he suddenly fell unconscious on the road.
When he woke up, he traveled back to Tokyo in the 1990s, and at the same time he had a new identity, a rich second-generation unemployed man named Takeyusei.
