Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

Yuzu habitually covered her face with her hands. Because she had stayed up late last night to complete a difficult level, she was still half asleep. She was frightened by Xiaotao's sudden action of opening the cabinet, and she was panicked for a while - until she confirmed that the person opening the cabinet in front of her was Xiaotao.

"Really...don't scare me...what's going on today?"

Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief. After winning the first place in the Millennium Awards, the game development department, which was not very famous, finally became famous.

Not only were there students who were curious about the sudden popularity of their previously unknown club, but there were also businessmen from all over Kivotos who had heard about the commercialization of "game cartridges". Whether they were normal business companies or those with ties to the black market, such overt and covert letters had filled up Xiaotao and her friends' MomoTalk.

However, that wasn't what had Xiao Tao so excited today. She held up her phone and showed the video to Youzi. "Youzi, look! It's our game!" Xiao Tao held up her phone, which showed a long line of people waiting in line at a shop. The sign read "Dream Games," and on the promotional roll-up poster at the door was the cover of their game, "Final Goddess Legend Sword 2"!

"Danrito said before that he would help publish our game, and now it's come true!"

"Yes, it's true..." Yuzu held the phone in both hands, stunned: "My game... will there be a day when it will be officially released?"

"I heard they're selling a high-definition remake of the legendary first generation game on sale." Xiaolu also walked over and smiled at Yuzu, "Didn't Mr. Danrito ask you for the first generation game data before, Yuzu, and even signed a license agreement? Now it seems he's been waiting to start commercial activities after the Millennium Awards."

"Ah... so the contract back then..."

Yuzu remembered something and dug out the contract she'd signed two days before, after the Millennium Awards, that Danrito had come to her to sign. It granted her exclusive rights to the game data for Saiden and Saiden 2, as well as the right to modify and remake the games. As the original creator who had granted these rights, Yuzu would receive % of the final profits.

"It was Danrito who brought me this contract, saying there were benefits to signing it, and he insisted I sign it." Yuzu held the contract in front of her, feeling a little uneasy. "Actually, without Danrito, this game wouldn't have been able to achieve this level of success, even winning the Millennium Prize... That's why I suggested we just give him full authorization."

"However, Yuzu still signed the contract." Xiaolu looked at the contract in her hand: "It's a profit-sharing contract... That's great. If the sales volume is amazing, Yuzu will also get a lot of money."

Yuzu felt a little embarrassed when she recalled Danreto's attitude that day. "Mr. Danreto said, 'Game developers need to manage their own rights,' and shoved the contract in my direction. I signed it. After that, I copied all the game data to Mr. Danreto."

"It's only been a few days, and there's already a remake..." Xiao Tao said seriously, "Oh no! I'm suddenly interested in the remake of the original. What should I do?"

"If you like it, buy it! Now is not the time to hesitate!"

"Hua ...

Alice stood up from the sofa behind her. It seemed that she had just finished her standby mode. Key woke up at the same time as Alice. Following the advice given by the senior Hinamiri, "maintain a normal life schedule", even Key, who did not need sleep or food, now learned to sleep and eat.

However, Key is now learning the same standby sleep as Alice, which is to sit on the sofa and close her eyes. Two identical girls are sitting upright on the sofa. If the lights were not on, you would think they are filming the twin sisters in "The Shining".

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Lu? You're here so early today..." Alice rubbed her eyes, and the halo behind her head lit up as if it was turned on. Alice, with sleepy eyes, spoke in a lazy voice, and she didn't look like a android at all: "Did anything good happen?"

Compared to Alice, Key's waking up was a bit more surprising. It was as if there was no loading time at all. When she woke up, the halo above her head instantly turned on, and her eyes opened immediately, revealing the only thing that distinguished her from Alice: her rose-red eyes.

"Princess, good morning." Key's voice was more chill than Alice's, her voice more relaxed. She turned to the three people beside her and greeted each of them with a serious attitude: "Good morning, Tao-san. Good morning, Xiaolu-san. Good morning, President Yuzu."

"Uh...actually, there's no need to be so formal in greeting, and there's no need to use honorifics!"

Xiao Tao had an OwO look on her face: "We are all friends, there is no need to be so distant!"

"Let's go! Why don't we go check it out now?" Xiaolu raised his phone and pointed at the Huanmeng Game flagship store: "Let's go buy some games together!"

"Want to go out, everyone?"

Asuna's figure suddenly jumped out from the door. Faced with this elusive senior sister, Xiaotao and the others were startled.

"Ugh! It's Asuna-san huh? If you keep scaring me like this, I'm going to get scared to death..."

Xiao Tao patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "There's no sound when she walks. It's really scary!"

"Ahahaha~ Sorry, sorry~ I'll make some noise next time~"

Asuna laughed, but the topic quickly returned to their plan to go out: "I heard you guys are going out? And you're going to the shop owned by Mr. Danrito? Take me with you!"

"Eh? It's okay then... If Asuna-san wants to go, there's no need to tell us, right?"

These days, the members of the C&C team have insisted on taking turns to observe Alice and Key every day. In fact, Danrito is also within their surveillance range, but Danrito has a very formal reason to refuse their following - Danrito is the president of the Huanmeng Group. As the day of entering the Kivotos market is approaching, Danrito is naturally becoming busier and busier. He has not even shown up in the game development department these two days.

129. Premonition of a Gunfight (Large)

"I'm on my way there. I'm also interested in the hotly debated topic of 'reversing game cartridges'."

Asuna grinned as she pulled out her phone, which showed a discussion on a forum about cartridges, a hot topic from the past millennium. The most discussed topic among these tech-savvy students was how such a small cartridge could create a "game field" that defied spatial limitations.

"Could it be some kind of teleportation technology that transports players directly to another game world?"

"No, no, no, that's too much! It must be some advanced virtual reality technology!"

"Could it be that they're directly stimulating brain waves, allowing the brain to directly imagine the game scenes?!"

"Maybe it's technological hypnosis..."

"It's hard to say. Have you ever heard of mushrooms that can make people see villains?"

Such comments sparked heated discussions on the Millennium forums. However, most people weren't just discussing the technical aspects of the cartridge itself; the adventures in the game world presented by Saiden 2 were also a hot topic. For a brief moment, everyone in the game development department became a celebrity. However, this high level of attention made Yuzu less likely to go out.

"So, this cassette looks like it's going to be a trend, I want to get one too!"

Asuna revealed her feelings without hesitation: "Because I also want to play the music games on these flyers! They said it can also exercise my body?"

The flyer Asuna held up had a yellow game cartridge printed on it called "Do-Re-Mi-Fa Beat," which seemed to suit Asuna's taste perfectly. Pointing at the game cartridge, Asuna smiled and said, "It's said that this is a game where you can move your body and dance to the beat. If I had this, I could dance with Karin and the others. I really want to see the captain dance!"

"Captain..." Xiaotao and Xiaolu looked at each other: "Is that Nero-senpai dancing..."

Half an hour later, at the Millennium School District, the Dream Game flagship store.

A long line of students had already formed at the entrance. Xiao Tao and her friends, who had just arrived at this time, were undoubtedly at the very end of the line. Looking at the line that turned two corners in front of her, Xiao Tao couldn't help but clasp her hands and say, "Wow... We really, really took a long way around..."

"Sister, please don't use lines that easily release golden cyclonic energy at a time like this, okay?"

Xiaolu skillfully complained about her sister's lines, while Yuzu, standing beside her, was starting to feel a little scared because of the large number of people around her: "Aa ...

Alice looked at the long line ahead, her expression darkening slightly. "Is there still such a long line... How long will Alice have to wait before she can buy 'Bumpbot'?"

"A android playing a robot game? Is this some kind of ridiculous joke..." Key stared at the sky. "I'm the source of the collapse in Legend of the Final Goddess 2, so why am I buying a cartridge?"

"Because the version you're going to play is definitely different." Xiao Tao turned to Key and said, "According to Danrito, Kei-chan is now a lich, right? That cartridge is Kei-chan's life box. You can't just take something so precious out and play with it, right?"

Just like some people buy three copies of a game disc: one for teaching, one for viewing, and one for playing. While this is just an old otaku ritual, the same principle applies to Key's cartridges. After all, they are a matter of life and death for Key. After the collapse of the source body, they become like energy cores, so they must be carefully protected.

"Could you please not use such strange metaphors..." Key held his forehead, "Why use the lich as a metaphor anyway?"

Xiao Tao scratched her head. "Huh? Because this image really does look like the lich in an RPG game, and using game examples is more intuitive."

Just as Momo and the others had taken out their GemeGirl consoles and were about to play a game of outdoor dragon climbing, Yuzu's phone rang in her pocket. After Yuzu hurriedly answered the call, Danrito's voice came from the inside.

【乾寻】1⒋⒐○彡⑺⑼仈

"Yuzu, when did you come?"

"Um... Mr. Danrito, we just arrived too." Yuzu looked around: "Where... are you?"

"Just go through the employee entrance. I've already told the staff." Danrito's voice sounded incredibly natural, and he let them go through the back door. Yuzu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, that's not good, right? Everyone's already queuing..."

"You're the game's creator and a company employee. How can this be considered a backdoor?" Tan Lidou's voice on the other end of the line left no room for rebuttal. "Just go through the small door on the left side of the store. Seriously, your own employees have to queue up to buy a game?"

Putting down her phone, Yuzu awkwardly waved to the curious girls standing nearby, "No, don't make any noise... Follow me this way..."

Everyone followed Yuzu to the side of the store and saw the robot teller waiting at the side door. Seeing Yuzu approaching, it asked, "Excuse me, Yuzu-san? The president has told me to wait here for you and your friends. These are the people, right?"

Feeling like she was a relative, Yuzu's face flushed. This shy girl just wanted to get in quickly, so she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, let us in?"

"Okay, everyone, this way please!"

The clerk enthusiastically ushered Yuzu and the others into the store. Even though it was a side entrance, they were still spotted by a few of the thugs waiting in line. Seeing that there was actually another way to enter, the thugs, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, suddenly lit up.

"Girls, there seems to be a shortcut over there! Let's go there too!"

"Is this really a shortcut?" One of the masked women asked, feeling a little strange. "Can we get in there?"

"I just saw a bunch of people go in!" The female gangster carrying the machine gun was the first to leave the queue: "Why can they go there but we can't?"

"Wait... Oh, forget it, I'll go too."

Upon entering the store, Yuzu and the others were immediately captivated by the sight of game cartridges and posters. The store itself looked quite large, but due to limited merchandise, the back half of the rented space had been partitioned off and temporarily converted into a game cartridge experience hall.

After all, although I had heard some rumors about game cartridges at the Millennium Awards, when faced with this brand new technological product, trying it out was a must.

To allow these customers to experience the allure of game cartridges firsthand, the unstocked shelf space at the back had been converted into a hands-on area, allowing students and residents to try out different game cartridges. Under the gaze of Yuzu and the others, a number of gamers, already in the game world, were already there, exclaiming and reveling in their own virtual worlds.

"Look! There are so many completely different game cartridges!"

Momo shook Yuzu and Alice's arms in delight. On the shelves before them lay a vast array of different game cartridges. The simultaneous release of over a dozen completely original products was a bombshell for the Kivotos gaming market. Since Danrito already had the game data, replicating the ten basic cartridges was no problem.

Including this time, the "Final Goddess Legend Sword Series," which has gained popularity in the Millennium District due to the Millennium Awards, has released a total of 13 different game cartridges. After mass production, the shelves are stacked to the brim. The different colored cartridges are lined up in a row, looking quite spectacular.

"Alice can't wait!"

Seeing so many game cartridges in front of her, the most lively Alice could no longer contain her joy and rushed out directly, while Key also hurriedly followed behind his princess: "Princess, please be careful!"

Since someone had already taken the first step, Xiao Tao also raised her arm to the rest of the people behind her: "Then, let's start shopping!"

"Oh!!!"

130. Playing theme songs is a classic project

"Seeing my game being officially sold as a product still makes me feel excited."

Yuzu looked at the two installments of "Zui Chuan" on the shelf and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. As a game developer, the most praise she could receive was the "rave reviews" from players, and the second most praise was recognition of her game's commercial value.

Beside Yuzu, Xiaolu, though calm, couldn't conceal the eagerness in her eyes. When she saw someone pick up the "Zuiden" cartridge, her eyes lit up: "The game development department has taken a big step forward!"

"Kei~ Look at this! A convex robot!"

Alice held up the red cassette in her hand, on which was printed a robot holding a huge mechanical fist. When she saw Danrito's advertisement on the Internet before, Alice liked the setting of "riding a giant robot to fight happily". She wondered if it was because Alice herself was a bionic person that she liked big robots so much?

㈨5○壹8○㈨0㈨

"Hehehe~ Looks like you have good taste too! You actually like giant robots!"

"who is it?"

Alice turned around in confusion, holding the "Bump Robot" cassette in her hand. She saw a student, her face covered with a mask, striking a rather chuunibyou pose. As Alice turned around, she raised a hand and loudly announced her name:

"Five stars shining in the sky!"

And then...it was a lull.

Realizing that no one seemed to be taking roll call for her, because she seemed to be the only one who came out to buy cassettes during the break, the short-haired female student in bright red embarrassedly covered her mask: "Ahem! Uh... that's right! You are also a fan of giant radishes, right!"

Key, who was standing by, couldn't help but sweat profusely: "Princess, this person doesn't seem suitable for dating..."

"Alice thinks giant robots are pretty cool!" Alice clenched her fists, a serious look in her eyes. "I heard that the mechas in 'Bump Robot' can have custom parts and colors. Alice wants to use a beam sword!"

"Eh... live ammunition is obviously the most romantic thing..."

The short-haired red girl and Alice started a heated discussion about what weapons the giant robot should be equipped with. After the argument failed, they both walked towards the experience area at the same time, intending to convince each other in the game!

"In that case, let's duel! I'll prove that a fused radish plus a physical weapon is the true romance of a giant radish!"

"Hmm! In that case, Alice will have to get an oversized sword of lights!"

It seemed that neither of them could convince the other, and the happy scene of their initial discussion was immediately shattered. They both began to clamor for a game to decide the winner. Seeing the two people in front of them seemed to be about to start a battle, Key stretched out his hand worriedly: "Princess..."

"It's okay, Kei, we're all like this." Xiao Tao beside him patted Key's shoulder knowingly. "I don't think there's anything wrong with fighting for your own preferences. It's not just in games, but in fandoms as well. Everyone who fights has an uncompromising bottom line. Kei-chan has never seen a fight break out just because of differences in character preferences."

"Ah... Huh? Is that so... Human nature is truly complex..."

An unnamed student from the Kaisertan Red team battled Alice in the game world. Yuzu simply bought all the cartridges—when it came to buying games, Yuzu never felt bad about spending credits.

It's all military spending! We can't save any money!

"It's said that most of the games here have multiplayer modes. Players with the same cartridge can connect to each other over the local area network and challenge levels together." Xiaolu picked up a copy of the "Action Omni X" cartridge with emotion. "I really miss it. I remember the super-giant grapefruit back then, the one that was even bigger than a railway cannon."

"Why do you still remember that? Forget it right away!"

Asuna ran away by herself after entering the store. For this girl who would get involved in various events just for the sake of "fun", every game cartridge displayed here made Asuna's eyes light up.

"It's been ages since I've seen so many new toys at once." Asuna picked up the "Dorami Rhythm" cartridge she wanted to buy and turned it over and over. "It's completely different from the cartridges I used to see in stores that required a game console. Is it because it has this 'Game Field' feature?"

After finding the start button on the cassette, Asuna couldn't suppress her curiosity and reached out to press it.

“DoReMiFa Beat!”

The game cover unfolded behind Asuna, and the pale yellow game field automatically isolated the surrounding area. This game field unfolded quite intelligently, perfectly excluding everyone and quickly switching the surrounding scene, leaving Asuna alone standing in an unfamiliar park.

"Hmm~ Is this the 'gaming realm'? We really have arrived at a magical place."
