[ Time-limited mission completed. Completion rate: 120%. Reward: Level up! ]

Shaman’s voice sounded like an angel’s voice. At the same time, the system announced that the arcade mission was completed.

Alan did not have time to look carefully. He jumped up from behind the bar counter excitedly and rushed towards the door

Beelzebub, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, looked disdainful and confused. In his eyes, Alan’s behavior was completely inappropriate.

“Alan, Alan, I did it!”

Shaman was running toward Alan, and they collided head-on. Because of the difference in height, no one was hurt.

Alan reached out and helped Shaman, who had stumbled after being knocked by him, to steady himself.

He was not affected at all. He was still excitedly saying that he had succeeded.

“Quick, quick, quick, let me see. Shaman, you are too amazing. You actually did it in ten days. This really helped me a lot.”

Alan cleared the nearest table to make room for him to use.

“You have to watch carefully. In order to attach spatial magic, it took me three days and three nights.”

Speaking of his own work, Shaman was full of confidence and his tone was full of pride.

The customers who heard their conversation were also interested. It sounded like Alan had invented a new toy.

The mahjong tables in the corner were full every day. Many people liked to play it. Many of them had to queue up for a long time.

Some people tried to get Wayne to make more mahjong tables, but no matter what method they used, they were rejected by Wayne.

Everyone in Rock City knew that he had recovered from his old injury, and even his strength had improved a lot. They were worried that he would hit them if they pressed him. Even if they wanted to play mahjong, they didn’t dare to bother him anymore, they obediently came to the tavern to line up.

Now that Alan had made a new toy, so everyone was curious and anticipated.

“According to the blueprint, I completed the production of the arcade engine three days ago.”

Shaman talked about his making process with a hint of pride.

“The most difficult part in the production of the arcade engine is the display on the frame. In order to make the image reach the standard you mentioned, I tried many different materials. In the end, I found that only the display made from recording crystals can achieve the best image.”

Alan nodded as if he was a chick pecking at rice. He looked at Shaman who was standing on the chair, waiting for him to show off the machine. However, this guy seemed to want to show off his skill again.

“Because I don’t know how to burn glass, I replaced the cover of the panel with a colorless crystal. The manufacturing cost became very high.”

“I also added a backup power source to it. It can continue to work even if there is no electricity. After the electricity is charged, it will automatically recharge and store energy for the next time.”

“Ah, the most important thing is of course the chipboard that you gave me, Alan. This is the core of the arcade, right?”

As Shaman said this, he looked at Alan with some self-satisfaction. After all, he had discovered this all by himself.

During the process of making it, he realized that this machine called the arcade was indeed a very interesting and refreshed, the chipboard in particularly was the most interesting.

Because there was only one piece of the chipboard, he did not dare to disassemble it completely. He was already stunned just by taking off the outer shell.

The complicated wires and pipes inside were all very small parts. With his current skill level, it was impossible to replicate them.

Looking at the description on the blueprint, one could guess that the so-called game on the arcade was stored in the chipboard. However, Shaman could not see how the game was stored in it.

Alan still nodded in agreement. He just wanted to see the finished product quickly. He was not interested in the manufacturing principles and other things.

Seeing that even the inventor himself was looking at him with admiration, Shaman felt that his vanity had been greatly satisfied.

“Three days ago, when I’m finish making the arcade, I found that it was too big. There was still some time before the ten-day promise, so I tried to attach spatial magic to it. The last arcade that was slightly bigger ended up like this.”

Alan looked at Shaman opening his palm and saw a rectangular hexahedron lying in his palm. It was slightly bigger than Wayne’s mahjong table last time.

“Alan, look, this is what it looks like when you add spatial magic.”

As Shaman spoke, he felt around for a button on the cube.

The tavern instantly fell silent. Everyone stared at Shaman’s palm. There was a crisp crack, and then a blue light flashed in the air.

The cube instantly expanded until it was the size of an arcade machine Alan had seen in his previous life. The expensive crystal screen lit up, and a familiar background music of “Guile” came out from the machine.

When the music played, Alan’s eyes lit up. It was this familiar feeling that instantly brought his memories back to his previous life when he was still in primary school.

“It’s exactly the same. The picture is also very good, and the quality is very high. Shaman, please give way. Let me give it a try first.”

Alan looked at the arcade machine in front of him excitedly and muttered in a low voice. He wanted to play with it personally.

The customers all looked curiously at the excited Alan. They didn’t understand why this machine could make him so excited.

Alan ignored the gazes of the others and locked his gaze on the display screen in front of him. He skillfully pushed the joystick and pressed the button to choose the character he wanted to play.

Everyone was very surprised to see that Alan was skilled in operating that machine.

After Alan chose the character that he wanted to play, the screen jumped and entered the battle interface with the computer.

Alan messed around with the controls and the two men on the screen started to fight. He was still shouting a lot of meaningless words, which sounded like the name of a certain move.

After Alan’s fierce and confusing battle, the word “Victory” appeared on the screen.

“Yes!” Alan excitedly said a sentence from his previous life.

The people around him didn’t understand, but they knew that he was happy.

n

This was the first time Shaman knew how to operate an arcade. He had thought about how to play an arcade before, but after seeing Alan’s operation, he realized how limited his thinking was.

Arcade was more interesting than he had imagined!

After winning the first round, Alan switched to another character.

The customers looked at the characters in different costumes on the screen and ordered Alan to make a choice. This new thing that they had never seen before looked very interesting. Just looking at Alan’s operation was already very attractive.

It had been a long time since Alan had felt the pleasure brought by a video game. Now, even the most basic arcade game made him unable to stop playing, game after game.

The crowd behind him watched a few rounds and gradually understood the rules of the game and the usage of the machine.

Everyone was blindly excited along with Alan’s operation.

Originally, there was a circle of people around the mahjong table, but after the arcade game attracted a lot of people, everyone ran over to watch the show.

The four lonely mahjong players suddenly felt that the mahjong in their hands was not that fun anymore.

Thus, they casually put the mahjong on the table and entered the circle of arcade machines without caring about winning or losing.

When Wayne and Abraham arrived at the tavern, they saw this scene.

Everyone in the tavern was gathered in the middle of the hall. No one was drinking at all.

Even the three demon lords were nowhere to be seen.

Every once in a while, there would be a burst of exclamations in the middle of the crowd, accompanied by some irrelevant shouts. The one that made the sound seemed to be Alan..
