Following the girl code-named Sai who had perfected her disguise, she walked into this unknown video game center. The boy code-named Nazi who had not dressed up at all began to replace the uneasiness caused by the former with a little curiosity.
, and most of the sense of anticipation.
I have only been to the video game center once when I was a child. The other places are basically lively and interesting places that I have seen in novels, animations, and TV series. They are different from computer games that are just a mouse and keyboard plugged into a controller from beginning to end.
It is different from mobile games that are basically played with two hands, the predecessor of VR games!
The moment Xia Zhi, who was full of expectations, walked into the video game center, his eyes twitched and he looked around. The environment here was very good, the floor was clean, no one smoked, the machines were wiped clean, and every machine was in place.
It's running normally, the special effects lights are flashing, and it's full of a retro, high-end feel... Everything is fine except for someone else.
After Xia Zhi made sure that he saw no more than ten people, he tilted his head and looked at Tachibana Aya: "Is this the extremely popular game center you told me about?" Xia Zhi felt that his IQ was insulted.
Xia Zhi could tell that Tachibana Aya was stunned for two seconds, but she quickly reacted and was ready to start making excuses. Why was Xia Zhi so sure that she was making excuses? Things like people always change in different situations.
As for Tachibana Aya, he will have some small actions when doing certain things. For example, when he feels guilty, he will flash his words and so on. But for Tachibana Aya, she will feel guilty, but she will not have these symptoms when she feels guilty. Relatively speaking, she will feel guilty.
Yes, when she is making excuses, her eyes will look around inadvertently, as if she is looking for a suitable excuse. This is not the first time that Xia Zhi has seen her like this.
And now, Xia Zhi saw Tachibana Aya's moving eyes in the gap that was not covered by the pair of glasses.
As expected, Tachibana Aya started to perform, with a "little problem", "never seen the world", "this is a normal situation" expression, folding her arms and snorted: "This situation is normal, it is already autumn.
, the weather is so cold, naturally not many people like to come outside. What’s more, it’s only past twelve noon, and even if someone wants to come and play, they will have to wait until a few hours later. It’s really a lack of common sense.”
As he spoke, he shook his head as if nothing had happened.
Xia Zhi sneered. He didn't believe her at all. He just opened his mouth and said it. Who wouldn't?
As if feeling the distrust in Xia Zhi's eyes, Tachibana Aya didn't explain any more, and quickly passed in front of Xia Zhi and walked to the counter to change the game coins. The less she said, the less she made mistakes.
Quite understandable.
Xia Zhi didn't know how much she bought. Anyway, she looked at Tachibana Aya holding a small but not too small plastic basket full of game coins. Based on such an estimate, it should be no less than two hundred.
pieces.
One hand held a plastic basket full of game coins, and the other hand pushed Xia Zhi towards the inside with a force that was too strong to resist: "Let's go, let's take you to play something simple first."
Natsuki grinned in pain when she grabbed her shoulder. He even suspected that Tachibana Aya was deliberately retaliating.
This woman is too petty.
Just walking like this, the two of them came to a corner. Except for a camera in the corner that looked at the whole situation, no one else could see the two of them. And placed in this corner was what Xia Zhi once said.
Metal Slug is a super classic 2D side-scrolling game that I have played countless times on the computer. Xia Zhi was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly. There are very few games like this even in Japan, let alone in China.
See you? Although classic, the eternal theme of arcades is not cooperation, but confrontation. Just think about the popularity of King of Fighters and Street Fighter.
However, I didn't expect that Xia Zhi could actually see this game here. The two villains on the screen were automatically demonstrating while jumping and shooting, dodging bullets, tsk tsk... I thought that I could pass the level alone with one coin.
Even though it's on a computer.
"Huh? You know this?" Tachibana Aya was a little surprised.
"Huh? Why do you think I don't know this?" Xia Zhi was even more surprised: "This game is too classic. Anyone who has been exposed to similar games should have played it, right?"
Instead, Tachibana Aya shook her head, and while pulling Natsuki to sit down, she put coins into the coin slot: "The Metal Slug series has not been updated for a long, long time. Japan is now an era where cuteness is the rule, and arcade players are originally
There are not many left, and most of them still like to race and compete. It is very rare for a machine like Metal Slug to occupy a position in the corner."
Tachibana Aya's tone was a little sad, and Xia Zhi always thought it was an illusion. How could Tachibana Aya be sad about such a thing? This is unscientific. It's not like the first time her parents took her to the arcade to play something like Metal Slug when she was a child.
The plot of the Hot-Blooded Royal Road manga. And...it would be sad for such a thing, and it would conflict too much with Tachibana Aya's character.
The next moment, Tachibana Aya's sad feeling disappeared. As for whether it was true, Xia Zhi had no way of knowing.
"Oh, okay! Fio is mine!" Tachibana Aya's hand pressed on the plate. By the time Xia Zhi came back to her senses, she had already removed the red-haired girl among the four classic characters.
The child was chosen. Is it true that Tachibana colors are so particular? After finishing it for so long, Xia Zhi only knew what they looked like. As for the names, how could he remember them? And Xia Zhi didn't remember them either. He only knew about yellow hair.
The main character in red is called Markle or something.
"Feo is super cute." Tachibana Aya looked towards Natsuki, seeming to urge him to choose quickly. Natsuki didn't have much choice, so he chose the only horse whose name he knew, although he was sure that he
It’s not called Ma Dongmei, but the specific name is still forgotten.
"Oh, Mark?" Aya Tachibana clicked her tongue, as if she had some thoughts about this, but Xia Zhi knew that if she just asked her like this, she would definitely have to explain herself with a lot of things, so she simply
Didn't even ask.
It's just that... the difference between the arcade disk and the keyboard is really a bit big. Xia Zhi jumped twice at the beginning, and then suddenly a black gun came out and killed him. Xia Zhi was still confused, but Tachibana Aya was already
Squirted out.
"You...have never played an arcade?"
"How is that possible? It's just that I haven't played for a long time." Xia Zhi turned away and told the truth. There's nothing wrong with it. Several years is a long time. If you only played it once, you can still count it as playing it.
Tachibana Aya quickly eliminated all the enemies on the screen, then released his hand holding the joystick and pointed at the operation panel in front of Natsuki to explain.
"This is jumping, this is shooting, this is grenade..."
Then he let Xia Zhi jump around in this safe scene for a while, and Xia Zhi finally got used to it. The characteristics of arcade machines that are easy to get started but difficult to master are shown. Knowing that his skills are not up to par, Xia Zhi racked his brains.
Thinking about the characteristics of the map in the scene, and then carefully avoiding the bullets, Tachibana Aya shuttled back and forth among various bullets and missiles. It was obvious that the challenge she mentioned before became an urban legend was not just a temporary statement by her.
Hey, just kidding. If you give her time, she probably can do it.
However, Tachibana Aya gets carried away too easily. She seemed to be too comfortable in the previous levels. As a result, when she jumped to the second level, she jumped up and caught a bullet on her head and lay down. Tachibana Aya took a photo to resurrect, and then jumped again.
, I didn’t expect that history would repeat itself again. Xia Zhi looked at Tachibana Aya and his eyebrows almost stood up, and he directly threw a grenade to blow up the enemy.
"Stop inking, there is a time limit."
Tachibana Aya seemed to look at Xia Zhi with some dissatisfaction, and then said a lot of words with similar meanings such as "I can kill him even if you don't throw the grenade" and "I was just a little careless."
Xia Zhi responded helplessly, as if he was leading a willful naughty child.
When the whole game was over, Xia Zhi counted on his fingers.
"I put in two coins, and you actually put in five. Are you too wasteful?"
Although Xia Zhi himself basically stayed behind until he couldn't operate, Tachibana Aya threw five coins. This is no longer a problem of the enemy being too insidious. This is really his own fault. Back then, Xia Zhiyi
When passing the level with coins, unless you are naughty and want to do something later, you will not throw coins in anyway.
"Lang? Don't always use Chinese and Japanese sentences to reason..." Tachibana Aya thought hard, but couldn't figure out the meaning of this word.
"I'm just seeking death. I'm too naughty to be educated." Xia Zhi tried to explain the specific meaning of this word to her, but he was short of words and couldn't think of a good metaphor. So he thought about it and threw in a coin.
I chose Mark again, and when I saw the enemy, I jumped up and down in his face until he was accidentally killed by the enemy.
"This is called wave."
"..." Tachibana Aya tilted her head, because the examples were too vivid and her brain was in a state of shutdown.
Xia Zhi took the opportunity to stretch his arms. After playing like this, it took about half an hour. Moreover, pressing the buttons and operating levers was actually quite tiring, especially for someone who was not very familiar with arcade games.
For people.
"Why are you like the old man, always stretching your body?"
Tachibana Aya glanced at Natsuchi with disgust, and Natsuchi suddenly stopped extending his hand upward. When the feeling of cramping disappeared, he turned around and glared at Tachibana Aya. Tachibana Aya blinked.
He looked innocent and didn't know what he had done wrong.
"Let's go. Go play the next one."
Tachibana Aya took Natsuki's hand that he had just put down and stood up quickly.
"Hey, please slow down. There's no one around anyway..."
But with Xia Zhi's strength points, it was obvious that he couldn't resist Tachibana Ayai. The mmp stopped in his throat and rotted in his heart.
