But now, things are different.

When Kurogane Kanko, Ryougi Shiki, and Mujo Kirie arrived here, more than half an hour had passed since the students were dismissed from school.

But the store was still crowded with students.

The children gathered together, staring at the little man on the screen without blinking.

"You can't jump here, you're so stupid."

"Don't talk, you're the ones who are interrupting."

"It's my turn, it's my turn. We agreed on one life for each person."

The chattering voices of children continued to be heard, and the next child who came forward took out a 100-yen coin from his pocket and put it into the modified coin slot.

The locked game console was turned on again.

Marisa, wearing a large hat, skipped towards the castle.

Just as the child holding the handle was about to start fighting on his own.

"Give way, give way."

Like a little kid who was a leader of the group, he pushed the crowd away.

However, they were not trying to snatch the game consoles. Even the leader of the children would not dare to seize everyone's treasure at this time and offend everyone. If he did, he would really be beaten up.

They had a reason for pushing people away this time.

"This game was made by this older sister. She knows a lot of hidden levels."

The leader of the children pulled Wu Tiao Wuhui to show off to his companions, telling them what he had just heard by chance.

"?!" XN

At this moment, pairs of eyes showed shocked expressions.

The scene became chaotic again in the blink of an eye, and the children chattered around Wu Tiao Wuhui and began to ask questions.

The latter was pulled by the children and had to sit in front of the game console to demonstrate the game techniques to them.

The tips from the producer made the surrounding children burst into cheers one after another.

Especially when she was controlling the character to fly, the children who had never triggered this special effect opened their eyes wide and held their breath, as if they were afraid of missing the beautiful scene.

"Magic cannon mushrooms, high jump shoes, invincible stars, what's that big green mushroom?"

"I know. I saw it in the instructions at my cousin's house. It's a mushroom that adds a life."

“Oh~~~~~~~”

"Sister, that's when it's time to jump. You're going to get the life-saving mushroom."

The children pulled Wu Tiao Wuhui's hand in an unruly manner, and they looked even more nervous than Wu Tiao Wuhui herself who was controlling the character.

The pale-faced girl's original nervousness gradually calmed down as the children pulled her.

Is there anything that can better illustrate the fun of something than the cheers and excitement of children?

Her obsessive yearning for the sky is not surprising, nor is it incomprehensible to others.

At this moment, a new way to play the game popped up in her mind.

This time the game production is still limited. When jumping inside the castle, the sky cannot be seen. She may be able to go further and describe her fantasy of the sky and her ideas about jumping.

At this time, compared to Wu Tiao Wuhui who was immersed in the children's joy, she was gradually gaining recognition.

At the door of the convenience store, next to Ryougi Shiki.

"In just half an hour, the coin box would be filled to the brim with 100-yuan coins. Those kids were like possessed."

The store manager waved his hands exaggeratedly at Ryougi Shiki.

He was so excited that he was spitting all over the place.

"Miss, five more sets would be great. This machine is not enough for the kids. I heard the master's factory can produce tens of thousands of these machines every day. I've already prepared the money, and I'm willing to pay double the price."

As he spoke, he opened his cash register and handed the bills to Ryougi Shiki's hands.

As the eldest daughter of the main family, it was difficult for Ryougi Shiki to directly refuse these things at this time. She had supported the Ryougi family for many years.

Their existence itself is a guarantee of the reputation of underworld forces like the Liangyi family.

Ryougi Shiki: "I remember you weren't so short of money."

Although the shops in front of the elementary school look shabby, their income is far higher than normal people can imagine, and it is common for them to earn over one million yen a month.

Not to mention, Ryougi Shiki also knew that the other party probably had investments outside.

Logically speaking, the other party shouldn't be so urgent.

The boss of Xiaoqi Store laughed twice: "Hahaha~, no one has group chat anymore, and the pocket money for the kids is less, so the business in the store is much worse than before."

Ryougi Shiki: "That's it?"

She frowned at the man in front of her, her face showing obvious disbelief.

And with Ryougi Shiki's sharp gaze, the man's expression in front of him suddenly turned bitter.

"Miss, you haven't been paying attention to the outside world. Banks have been going crazy over the past six months, raising interest rates from 3% to 6%. Because of this crazy increase, some stock and housing prices have been cut in half, with the highest falling by 50%."

As if recalling the painful memory, the store manager's face showed a painful expression that he could not bear to look back.

Ryougi Shiki: “…”

She really didn't understand this aspect.

If the price drops by 50%, won't I still have half of my savings? It shouldn't be that painful.

The girl in kimono gently kicked Kurogiri Kanko beside her and asked for the answer.

Hei Tong Xian Hu Tan spread his hands and said, "These days, anyone with savings won't give up on investing their money in real estate. When they buy these properties, they don't simply spend their own money. They borrow money from banks and buy them with loans."

At this point, he thought of something, shook his head and sighed: "When house prices fall, it doesn't mean your assets shrink by half, but you go straight into debt. After all, the money you borrow from the bank won't decrease just because house prices fall."

I bought a house with a debt of 200 million, hoping to sell it when the price rises to 300 million.

As long as the property is sold successfully, the proceeds will be a net profit of 100 million after paying off the loan.

As a result, the house price fell from 200 million to 100 million. Because the buyer could not repay the loan, the house was repossessed by the bank, but it could only mortgage 100 million. The buyer still owed the bank 100 million.

For people like this who simply bought a house, they are still considered lucky.

Kuroto Xianhu heard that people who like to spend a lot of money in Tokyo would first use their savings to take out loans to buy houses.

Then, through specific operations, the purchased house is used as collateral to continue to borrow money from the bank, and the money is used to purchase another property.

When the market conditions are good, they will naturally reap the full benefits of the version and their net worth will skyrocket.

But when the market fails—

The era of the flying trapeze artist is truly about to begin.

However, Hei Tong Xianhu's mood at the moment was not as heavy as he had imagined.

During the months of making the game, his uncle Daisuke Akimi, who worked at the police station, had successfully contacted his parents.

At that time, the market had already begun to become unstable, and both parents were completely trapped in their investments, and they unilaterally hoped that the market would improve.

After understanding the situation, Hei Tong Xian Hu did not say anything to ask them to give up.

He just boasted about the current situation of his company and that the "Super Monster Hand" that was selling extremely well was his product.

In short, it emphasizes that you guys are quite rich.

So don't think about performing some flying tricks or having someone die to wipe out his debts. He has a lot of money, and it's easy for him to make up for the losses of his parents.

From the tone of their subsequent phone conversations, Hei Tong Xian Hu could clearly feel that his parents' condition had improved.

His father's gloomy mood gradually turned into a hint of pride, and he began to ask about the details of Hei Tong Xianhu's company.

At present, the two have not yet returned because their money is trapped, but the matter has basically come to an end.

At this time, compared to the calmness of Hei Tong Xian Hu, the expression of Ryougi Shiki beside her gradually became serious.

“Are there many people like you?”

The young lady asked the shop owner.

"I can't say there are many things you're asking about, but I can say they're everywhere. If prices don't rise again, I'm afraid we won't be able to live like this anymore."

Having said that, the young boss straightened his expression.

“Just get through it.”

As long as he can still come up with enough money to repay the monthly loan and prevent his house from being taken away by the bank due to arrears, everything will be back when the market recovers.

It is for this reason that the small bosses at this time are so eager to have more game consoles.

During this period of time, his desire for money was unparalleled.

Volume 1: Chapter 25: Liang Yi's Concerns

As the economy booms, the gaming industry has seen a large influx of capital, which is good for gaming.

As the economy is in recession, the gaming industry has become everyone's choice of cheap entertainment due to the lipstick effect, which is still good for gaming.

That sounds pretty ridiculous.

Hei Tong Xian Hu actually doesn't care whether it is right or wrong.

After all, how should I put it——

If you want to benefit the gaming industry, you must at least allow the gaming industry itself to exist.

In 1990, the gaming industry was still in its pixel-based stage, and it was unknown whether the number of players worldwide would exceed 500 million.

The number of local game players in Japan is estimated to be less than one million.

Not everyone would be willing to buy a game console that costs 15000 yen before having enough fun playing it.

After all, the main players of game consoles are students who are not financially independent.

No matter how extravagant a student's life may be, there are limits. The number of toys they can buy is truly limited.

How to make the game console of their choice as their target?

In the blueprint of Heitong Xianhu planning.

Placing game consoles in shops in front of primary, middle and high schools is the first step in promotion.

Wu Tiao Wu Hui's game has reached the pinnacle of artistry and playability, and it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack on games in today's pixel era.

The price of 100 yen per game will bring enough players to this game console.

But this is just the beginning.

A platform jumping game where the entire game restarts when the character runs out of lives. This type of game is very suitable for playing in turns by inserting coins.

Young players, after being attracted by the game, will not consider buying machinery.

100 yen per time is enough for them to play this game forever.

But what if a brand new game comes out?

An RPG game, or role-playing game, that comes with a save file.

Is it really appropriate to play this kind of game, which is inherently personal, with coins?

Would you like the character in your save file, which has your name on it and all the equipment you personally made, to be used by other children?

Private games can only be played privately.

There is no essential difference between deleting a friend's save file and smashing his or her computer.

Both are their private property.

"In this situation, how can a child who is eager to make progress not choose to buy a game console?"

Hei Tong Xian Hu, standing in front of the water dispenser, had a smug smile on his face.

When he returned to the company, he was not too affected by the information he received in the canteen. After all, it was something he had expected.

He already had a plan in mind and had no intention of disrupting his pace.
