Chapter 182 Research Actions
The first day of the Speed Challenger started, and there were not too many people.
More people want to see what this is with a hint of curiosity, abbreviated to join in the fun.
Because there are enough prizes and prizes for overseas travel, even people who are not interested in video games will come to see what it is.
Ono Yujiang is just a very inconspicuous person among them.
In every directly-operated authorized store, there are now more than 100 game consoles, enough for challengers to come and try it.
Because the registration is free, people who do not play the game will also choose to sign up, and then they will get a number card. When the number card is called, the player can challenge.
For this challenge, all game consoles are specially made, and the game console will have a built-in timing program, which is convenient for the clerk to make unified statistics when the store closes at night.
Early in the morning, more than 100 game machines were already occupied.
Some challengers are just passers-by, and everyone can only have one chance to clear the level, and the clearance time limit is also set.
For games like Metroid that take a long time to clear, it will be set to be completed within three hours.
For Mario and Contra, they will be set to clear the level within an hour. In the end, Tetris does not need to deliberately set the time. Anyway, as long as the game is over, it is considered to complete a challenge.
"Hello sir, please press your stamp here."
Ono Yujiang came to the registration office, and a clerk was introducing everyone to the basic rules of game registration and the specific content of the challenge game.
In Japan, the legal effect of a seal is sometimes higher than that of a signature. As long as the seal is affixed, it represents one's approval of the agreement.
And the content of the agreement is some restrictions to prevent multiple challenges and prohibit the use of some means outside the rules.
One by one, the registered players affix their seals, and then receive a number card and wait for their time to be called.
Ono Yujiang did not rush to sign up, anyway, the challenge time is half a month, you can wait and see.
The large hall seemed a bit noisy at the moment, but fortunately, there were specially hired security guards to maintain law and order, but there was no vicious incident.
And those challengers who were already sitting in front of the consoles were staring intently at the screen.
These players seem a little cautious, and every time they clear a level, they wipe their sweat and make a happy sound.
Ono Yujiang also watched the challenge process of these players seriously.
After all, these players will be competitors with him for prizes, let’s look at their general strength first.
It’s just a little regrettable that the rankings cannot be updated in real time now, and today’s rankings can only be seen in detail tomorrow.
However, Ono Yujiang is not completely without harvest.
Of the many challengers, 90% of them actually came here to try their luck.
Some of them haven't even played the game, and they seem a little jerky when they first come into contact with the game, and then the game will end soon.
The three games like Contra, Super Mario, and Metrod will announce the end of the game in advance as long as they run out of life, and the challenge will not give you the chance to respawn multiple times in one challenge.
So at the beginning, these challengers generally failed to hold on for ten minutes, and these were not even competitors.
This made Ono Yujiang's self-confidence slightly improved, and he felt that he was at least a little strong among these people, not a rookie.
But among these people there are also some more powerful guys.
They are generally able to complete the challenge before their health runs out and the time limit comes.
But none of these people can match him. He did a test yesterday. If he is in his extreme state, he can make his Super Mario clearance time close to twelve minutes.
Contra can complete the challenge in twenty-seven minutes, while Metrod can complete the challenge in two hours.
But these people are almost all stuck before the time limit is completed, which is quite the limit.
Most Tetris players will be defeated if they don’t reach the speed of level 12, but Ono Yujiang can hold on to the speed of level 14.
All of a sudden the decision was made.
It was about noon at this store, and after confirming that there were almost no people who could compare with him, he immediately ran to the next store to check the situation.
Today is mainly to step on the spot. Since he has decided to get the reward, he must study it carefully.
He thinks that he is better prepared than anyone else, and that he should at least get the first place in one of the games.
Among them, Mario and Tetris are the most confident. In the other two games, he has seen a few guys who are close to his clearance time, so there is still a certain threat.
Soon he came to the second shop. Even when it was near noon, there were still a lot of people here. Many people even brought their lunch boxes and watched other people's challenges while eating. Fanxiang made Ono Yujiang so hungry that he came out so fast in the morning that he forgot to bring a bento.
You must prepare yourself for this tomorrow.
He kept seeing it past four o'clock in the afternoon in this shop.
is similar to the previous store, most of which are made up of numbers, and there are also few who can pass the customs normally, let alone speed through the game.
His confidence also soared for a while, and then he waited until he went to the next store and stayed until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before returning home with a hungry stomach.
"Xiaojiang, why did you come back so late today?"
Because Ono Yujiang hadn't come back all day, his mother was still a little worried, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when Ono Yujiang came back.
"I went to a store that sells games."
"Stayed all day? Did you buy anything?"
"No... I'm starving to death. Does mom have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, the dinner is still hot at night." Ono Yujiang's mother said with some distress.
Ono Yujiang immediately ran to the kitchen, and he didn't even bother to take out the food from the kitchen, so he started to eat in big gulps.
"Mom, can you prepare a lunch box for me tomorrow?"
"Of course you can, but are you planning to go out tomorrow? What are you doing?"
Ono Yujiang thought for a while, then said with a serious expression: "Mom, would you believe me if I said that I may have found a future direction, and maybe I can have my own business?"
Ono Yujiang's mother widened her eyes, and after waiting for a few seconds, there was a trace of tears in her eyes.
"Mom...Mom, why are you crying?" Ono Yujiang immediately stopped eating, feeling a little flustered.
