Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

"Hank, I brought enough pocket money today. If we work together, we will definitely be able to clear all the levels of the tank battle. You should also know, right? That guy Wade has already cooperated with others to clear the level, and he showed it off to me yesterday. Look. If he can do what he can, we must not lose to him.”

"We will work together to clear the level first, and then we will go alone. We must be better than Wade. When the time comes, I will..."

On Saturday morning, after walking out of the community, Hank's ears kept ringing with the voice of his friend Mike, who was in the same sixth grade.

"Mike, I won't go to the arcade with you today."

Hank interrupted, knowing that if he didn't, his friend Mike would keep talking.

"Why?"

Mike couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Didn't we agree last week to go play together on the weekend? Don't you have to do other things today? No, you don't look like you have anything to do now. "

"I'm going to do other things now, but it's also related to games."

Hank didn't hide anything. He said: "Mike, do you know the Xingyue console? It's a product that has been advertised a lot. It looks a bit like the Atari VCS."

"Of course I know. You can see its advertisements on the way to and from school."

Mike nodded, and then said: "But it is very expensive, okay? 179 US dollars is enough for us to go to the game arcade for a long time. Also, who wants to buy it? It is better to buy Atari VCS, although it is 20 more expensive." dollars, but the Atari VCS product is definitely better."

"I'm going to buy it."

Hank said something and took the initiative to explain: "Didn't he always do a free trial experience before today? I went to try it out on Tuesday night. You don't know how interesting the games there are, but it's a pity that every time You can play for 10 minutes, and then you have to queue up again.”

"Are those games fun?"

Mike became interested after hearing this. As a game lover, his favorite thing is fun games.

"Of course!"

Hank nodded heavily, but he did not explain in detail, but said: "It officially goes on sale today. I have reserved one the day before yesterday. I am going to pay for the goods now. You can come to my house to try it out later." You’ll know if it’s fun or not after a while.”

"Okay, let's play together then."

Mike agreed, but he was thinking that if the game was not fun, he would ask Hank to play Tank Battle together in the afternoon and clear all the levels.

The two of them walked and chatted until they came to a nearby Starlight Toy Store.

"welcome!"

Amid the greetings from the female clerk, Hank and Mike walked into the store.

"It's just a trial experience over there."

Hank pointed to the place in the store where several teenagers about their age gathered.

"It seems like the games here shouldn't be bad, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people here."

Mike couldn't help but nodded when he saw this. In his opinion, if it was not a fun game, no one would be interested.

"Hello, this is my reservation registration card. I want to buy the ordinary Xingyue console."

Hank walked towards the cashier at this time and took out the registration card he filled out when making the reservation.

"Okay, Hank?"

The cashier took the registration card, looked at it, and said: "A regular Xingyue console costs 179 US dollars. Hank, you have already paid a deposit of 10 US dollars, and you need to pay an additional 169 US dollars. You will get a free gift when purchasing the Xingyue host. "Super Mario Bros." has a cartridge, do you want to buy other game cartridges?"

Hank took out the money while talking: "I also want to buy the cartridges of the two games "Vacuum Boy" and "Crazy Racing"."

"The game cartridge is $40 for one copy, $80 for two copies, plus $169 for the console, the total is $249, Hank you need to pay $249."

The cashier took the calculator and added it up, then turned the calculator to show Hank to let him know that the price was not calculated incorrectly.

"Here, here's $250."

Hank handed the money to the cashier.

Seeing this, Mike couldn't help but said: "Hank, you spent a total of 259 US dollars. This much money is enough for us to go to the game arcade for a long time."

"But it's worth it."

After hearing this, Hank said to him: "I like these games very much. After I buy them, I can take them back and play them at will. I can play them for as long as I want, and I can play them whenever I want. I don't have to go to a special place to play them." Go to the game arcade and you don’t have to spend any money.”

"If you think about it, it's indeed quite convenient."

After hearing this, Mike thought about it and found that this was indeed very convenient.

"Here, Hank."

While the cashier was collecting money, a female clerk put the console and three game cartridges into a bag and handed them to Hank.

"Here's your $1."

The cashier handed the change to Hank and said at the same time: "There is a device instruction manual inside the Xingyue host box. You can read it yourself. If you really don't know how to use it, you can ask us and we will teach you. .”

"Thanks!"

Hank thanked him and left the store with Mike.

"Come on, Mike, go to my house. I really want to go home and play games now."

"Then what are you waiting for, GO!"

Hank and Mike trotted back to the community and went to Hank's house.

Hank's family conditions are not bad. Of course there is a TV at home, so he connected the equipment according to the instructions and then plugged in the "Super Mario Bros." game cartridge.

The Xingyue console has two controllers, and each game can also be played by two players at the same time, so Hank and Mike can play the game together.

"Mike, you have to jump like me and hit the bricks above without getting hit by the monster."

Hank taught Mike while playing. Although he had only tried it for a few days and only played it a few times a day, it was more than enough to teach Mike, a newcomer.

"What's the point of this jumping game?"

Mike said something, but still played with Hank.

"GOD! We finally passed!"

"Great, there are mushrooms to eat!"

"Damn, I should have been more careful!"

"."

After more than half an hour, Mike was completely immersed in the game and seemed to have forgotten his previous complaints.

The time devoted to the game often passed quickly. Hank and Mike discovered that not long after, Hank's mother called for lunch, and Mike had to leave reluctantly. He wanted to play the game for a while longer.

In the afternoon, Mike came to Hank's house after lunch, and the two continued to play games. However, around two o'clock, Hank's mother wanted to watch TV, so the two had to rest for about an hour, which made them extremely anxious.

At this moment, Mike decided to buy a Xingyue console himself, so that he could play however he wanted at home.

At this time, Mike had forgotten the idea that the Xingyue console was expensive. He just wanted to buy one and play whatever he wanted at home.
