#394 - A date for two in downtown Tokyo (2-in-1 booking required)
As the words gradually faded away, the entire venue was plunged into a silent darkness. Tens of thousands of eyes stared at the giant screen, filled with anticipation and doubt.
In this strange atmosphere, a familiar opening scene suddenly appeared. The iconic eye symbol, the deep male voiceover.
"This is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, everything starts with this card."
"Huh? Isn't that just a trailer for that old movie?" Whispers and mocking snorts immediately arose from the audience.
But soon, people were given a big scare.
Because as the camera turned, the world they were familiar with had undergone earth-shattering changes!
The original simple and quaint Domino City had now transformed into a magnificent modern metropolis; the well-dressed pedestrians were coquettish and unrestrained; and the passionate young duelists had shed their immaturity and transformed into dashing hosts.
"What the hell is this?" The scene immediately erupted.
But even more unexpected things were yet to come. Because at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the screen—Seto Kaiba. However, he was no longer the boy he used to be, but a heroic and extraordinary middle-aged man.
Even more shocking was that Seto Kaiba was now impeccably dressed and looked like he was ready for a night out. He was wearing a well-tailored blue bodysuit, his muscles bulging, outlining the handsome figure of a mature man.
The upper body was inlaid with glittering diamonds, shining brightly under the lights. The lower body was tight black leather pants, showing the texture and curves of his legs. Further down were a pair of shiny patent leather boots with a platform heel of more than ten centimeters, striking the ground with a particularly majestic sound.
"I'm back, Baby!"
Seto Kaiba suddenly turned his head, raised his eyebrows, winked flirtatiously at the camera, and uttered this extremely explicit line.
The venue immediately burst into a chorus of exclamations and whistles! It was hard to believe that the arrogant Seto Kaiba would show such a flirtatious look.
But what came next was even more shocking. Because immediately afterwards, the former protagonist team began to appear collectively:
Black Magician, Yubel... Although their attire styles were different, all of them were modern, avant-garde, and dazzling, and even their physiques had become extremely tall and sturdy. In particular, some of the originally slender and petite characters had now become curvaceous and alluring.
Not only that, but even their cards had undergone earth-shattering changes. The previously tall and clumsy mechanical objects were now reshaped to be slender and delicate; the originally petite and cute phantom beast monsters had now all become mature and sexy beauties.
The scene instantly fell into an unprecedented state of shock. People simply couldn't recognize what was happening before their eyes!
Just as this strange atmosphere reached its peak, a line of striking subtitles finally appeared:
"Yu-Gi-Oh!: Speed Duel" Sexy Legendary Remake, will make a grand debut with the strongest card deck in the real world!
Sexual awakening, hero cartoon sweeps the battlefield!
The promotional video then came to an abrupt end, and the venue returned to darkness. At this moment, a deathly silence enveloped the entire exhibition hall. Everyone was completely stunned by everything they had just seen.
Until someone tremblingly broke the silence:
"W-what exactly did I just watch?"
"Yeah, is that even Yu-Gi-Oh?! What kind of dog-blood development is this?"
"Goddamn sexual awakening!"
"I think it's pretty good, at least it's more innovative than before"
A heated discussion and wave of questions gradually brewed in the crowd.
……
At this time, at the Dragon Teng Group's booth, Pei Shengnan felt a bit fortunate in the face of the popularity of "Peach Blossom Spring Duel Cards".
Because this game does not constitute a direct competitive relationship with Dragon Teng Group, the two sides are not even in the same track.
However, the gradually increasing popularity made Pei Shengnan uneasy.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the bustling Peach Blossom Spring booth.
The lights poured down, coating the booth with a hazy halo.
In front of the trial booths, players sat or stood, focusing intently on the screens in front of them, their faces filled with concentration and seriousness.
Their fingers flipped and flew on the shiny duel disks, shuttling the cards back and forth on the surface.
Even more striking were the players surrounding them. They leaned forward, crowded around, and peered at every move on the scene as if it were a treasure. Some were eager to try, wishing they could personally take the stage; others made exaggerated reactions, accompanied by enthusiastic applause and explosive cheers.
Pei Shengnan couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling a dryness in his mouth. He had to admit that his previous confidence might have underestimated this momentum.
He must be careful to deal with Peach Blossom Spring...
……
The first day of the Tokyo Game Show finally came to a safe and uneventful end.
At this time, Liu Mengyuan, who was in charge of various matters at the Peach Blossom Spring booth, was in a heavy mood recently.
Although her company's masterpiece "Peach Blossom Spring Duel Cards" had a warm response at the game show, it had also attracted many competitors—card game giants such as Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! seemed to have also set their sights on this dark horse that had suddenly emerged, and were plotting various countermeasures.
Faced with huge gaps in funding, manpower, and other aspects, Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but sweat for the prospects of this exhibition.
Just as she was frowning, the phone rang.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yu's voice, like a cool breeze in midsummer, instantly swept away the haze in her heart.
"Why are you tinkering with work alone again? Don't be too tired!"
Lu Yu's magnetic voice rang in the phone, causing Liu Mengyuan's heartstrings to tremble.
But she still said on her lips: "It's not because you left early, you don't know how..."
Before she could say the word "popular", Lu Yu interrupted her.
Lu Yu thought that the Peach Blossom Spring booth must be deserted, and he comforted her:
"I'm not just going to scout in advance."
"Scout what?"
"Let's go out and relax together tomorrow, let's have a two-person date in downtown Tokyo!"
……
The next morning, the two came to Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.
The sun sprinkled on the lush greenery, rendering the entire royal garden extraordinarily vibrant. The lingering fragrance of flowers filled the air with a intoxicating fragrance. Cherry blossoms blooming all over the ground surrounded the surroundings like clouds and mist, vaguely overlapping with the butterfly shadows that occasionally passed through the forest, just like a corner of a paradise.
Lu Yu naturally put his arm around Liu Mengyuan's slender waist, and the two walked side by side.
Liu Mengyuan's graceful skirt swirled in the air, and her graceful and elegant demeanor was perfectly integrated with the solemn atmosphere of this pavilion.
She turned her delicate profile and gave Lu Yu a bright and moving smile. Dimples and crow's feet faintly appeared on her skin, and there was no lack of playfulness in her dignity.
Lu Yu looked at the beautiful face of his sweetheart with love.
Liu Mengyuan had a delicate cherry blossom hairpin on her bun, and occasionally a few scattered and graceful petals flew lightly and were gently twisted off by Lu Yu's fingers.
The surrounding passers-by were stunned.
Damn, what kind of god-chosen couple is this?
"Yuanyuan, you have been worrying about the company's affairs recently, and you always keep it to yourself." Lu Yu reached out and hugged Liu Mengyuan's slender waist, his tone gentle and doting.
"Why don't you relax today and completely forget your troubles!"
Lu Yu was telling the truth. The purpose of his company was to be anti-involution. If his girlfriend became the most involved person, what would that be...
Liu Mengyuan was stunned when she heard this.
She pursed her lips and smiled, nestled in Lu Yu's arms and nodded gently.
Lu Yu rubbed Liu Mengyuan's little head and continued to comfort her:
"Actually... I said from the beginning that enjoying life is the most important thing, and many things are counterproductive..."
Liu Mengyuan's eyes inadvertently swept across the park's chess and card area.
Not far away, a group of old people sitting around a low table were enjoying tea with relish, dropping pieces on the chessboard and resting their cheeks in thought, which was very pleasant.
Liu Mengyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
Yes, haste makes waste, draw inspiration from life!
She suddenly thought that the selling point of her own game was not a similar chess and card experience?
Why not set up such an interactive experience area at the exhibition site, so that players can personally feel the charm of duel disks and physical cards?
Will it also inspire the pure fun behind the game like these old people?
In this way, a wonderful idea to deal with competitors gradually took shape in Liu Mengyuan's mind.
The latest novel is first released at 6 9 Books Bar!
"Thank you! I understand!" she said excitedly.
Lu Yu was stunned. He didn't understand why this girl would suddenly thank him, and what did she understand?
But... well, it's good to make her happy anyway.
Afterwards, the two went to Shibuya 109 intersection.
This trendy district, known throughout Tokyo, brings together young people from all over the world. They either wear unique and fashionable clothes, dye their hair in strange colors, or even paint their faces with exaggerated oil paint shapes. The atmosphere of the entire street is dazzling.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Young people are really crazy now."
Liu Mengyuan rolled her eyes at him: "It's like we're very old."
Lu Yu quickly coughed and smoothed things over:
"However, even if you put on that look, you're still charming in my eyes."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Mengyuan had already hit him hard with her elbow, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! I won't put on that kind of makeup."
A faint blush appeared on her face involuntarily.
Just as the two were being intimate, a deafening rock heavy metal music suddenly sounded on the streets of Shibuya.
The two followed the sound and saw a group of young people performing on the street not far away.
One of them was even wearing a set of armor, waving an electric guitar frantically with both hands. The whole person was a heavy metal samurai.
Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but be infected by this bizarre atmosphere and couldn't help but giggle.
Lu Yu glanced at her sideways. The pure smile in her eyes made Lu Yu happy too.
[Girlfriend Liu Mengyuan enjoys visiting downtown Tokyo, is in a good mood, triggers a critical strike, leisure points +180]
This date, the two have earned thousands of leisure points,
He felt that he should take his girlfriend out for a walk more often in the future. What is work for? Life should be spent walking the streets every day.
However, at this time, Liu Mengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea flashed in her mind—
Why not make a batch of limited-edition game-style clothing and handicrafts at the exhibition?
In this way, the enthusiastic and unrestrained youthful atmosphere of "Peach Blossom Spring Duel Cards" can be brought to players, allowing them to immerse themselves in the personalized experience of the game together! I believe it will definitely attract a lot of popularity.
And all of this must also be one of Lu Yu's purposes in bringing her here!
It turned out that he was helping her solve work problems under the guise of dating!
She looked at Lu Yu with even more admiration.
After that, they came to Ueno Park.
In the square in front of the park gate not far away, a cosplay competition was in full swing.
On the stage, cosers wearing various costumes were posing freely under the illumination of the spotlights, attracting bursts of crazy cheers from the audience.
Not far away, there was a spacious lawn where several young people were controlling strangely shaped mini-fighters with remote control devices, sometimes hovering at low altitude and sometimes accelerating and rushing diagonally, causing onlookers to applaud.
Liu Mengyuan couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere, and her eyes lit up.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows knowingly, gently bumped her shoulder with his elbow, and said meaningfully: "Do you want to buy a set of COS clothes too? I'll take a photo for you."
"Um..."
Liu Mengyuan responded, but her eyes never left the battlefield of the remote-controlled aircraft.
She muttered to herself, analyzing in her heart: "In that case, why don't we also hold a large-scale duel competition at the exhibition? Let game fans from all over the world gather together and compete here?"
As she thought about it, her emotions became more and more high, and she made a few duel gestures with her hands and feet.
Lu Yu was amused by her enthusiastic appearance, turned his head and whispered a few words in her ear: "If you want to duel with me, I can accompany you at any time..."
Liu Mengyuan blushed immediately after hearing this, and hammered him coquettishly.
They walked side by side on the tree-lined path, hand in hand and fingers intertwined. The sun was warm and elegant, and the air was filled with a faint woody fragrance. Liu Mengyuan leaned on Lu Yu's shoulder.
She said softly: "How should I say it... I'm serious, it feels so good to have you by my side. It was like this in the Game Research Society in my sophomore year, and it's like this now that we're starting a business together..."
Lu Yu smiled slightly, twisted her sideburns with his fingers, and said in a gentle and doting tone: "What are you talking about thanking me for? This will be our daily life in the future."
The two smiled at each other.
Don't be too obsessed with work anymore, Lu Yu thought.
You really care about my work, Liu Mengyuan thought.
The passers-by next to them clicked their tongues one after another: Good guy, the show of affection is so blinding that people can hardly open their eyes.
In Liu Mengyuan's heart, she was full of confidence in the future of "Peach Blossom Spring Duel Cards".
My boyfriend is so awesome, who here can beat him?
