I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 424
"Is it that exaggerated?" Li Yan, who had returned to Tokyo, followed Kagurazaka Iris in the lounge of the exhibition and asked with some embarrassment.
Kagurazaka Iris smiled brightly, put away his notebook, and said: "You guys don't understand my feelings at all. Do you know how many times you have tricked me and almost put me in a small dark room for reflection by the editor? However, this time I didn't Don’t worry about anything. Okay, now we have ten minutes to rest, so we’ll have to work hard later.”
Chiba Makuhari Messe in Tokyo is the world's second largest game feast after the American E3 game show. It is already the largest game exhibition in Asia, supporting the glory and history of the Japanese game industry.
After two weeks of short writing life in Asahigaoka, Li Yan, who was suffering from a low fever, was specially taken back by Kagurazaka Iris. The Supra was temporarily placed in front of the rental house and was not driven back. He could only wait until the dead of night to secretly let it go. This car ran back to Tokyo by itself. After the results were brought back, what followed was the hard work of the company to promote the eighth volume. One of them was a signing event for the novel and online game advertisement at the video game exhibition.
"Is it really appropriate for a light novelist to come to a video game exhibition to hold a short autograph session?" Li Yan silently thought to himself as he listened to the various game sound effects outside.
"By the way, I received a courier for you yesterday. It was sent from Asahi Qiu." Kagurazaka Iris looked at Li Yan sitting aside and said with a smile.
"...Sent from Xuqiu?!" Li Yan asked in shock.
"Yes, yes, I didn't disclose your address to them, so I just asked them to deliver the courier to my dormitory. Here, it looks like some diaries, but I always feel that those children seem to miss you. , I was reluctant to leave when I left.”
Kagurazaka Iris handed the unopened document to Li Yan and said.
"..."
Li Yan was silent, feeling warm in his heart. He opened the express document bag and looked at the contents.
After he retrieved Kangna's gift, Kagurazaka Iris came to take him back. Before leaving, the students who had been with him in the village basically showed reluctance and sadness. Even they They were still worried about not having a farewell party, so they happily sent him back to Tokyo for the time being and waited for his next return.
In the bag, there is a stack of diaries, which are homework books for each grade of junior high school, junior high school, junior high school, primary school 5, and primary 1. The contents inside are all rewritten novels... and they are up to now. , they all still remember the homework of [Social Practice Project].
As a result, almost all the plots written in it used him as the protagonist, and extended all kinds of wonderful fantasy stories around that day's search for Kang Na's horn... Li Yan was almost dumbfounded, the story was all kinds of weird. , but it seems that they have really absorbed the story ideas of him and Teacher Xia Shizi, and have made obvious progress. More importantly, from these stories, we can see full of nostalgia and friendship.
"I'll probably pass this time..." Li Yan thought happily after reading all the short stories.
"It's time, Mr. Uesugi, it's time to go out."
At this moment, Kagurazaka Iris suddenly informed.
"..." Li Yan put away the items. In the end, as a light novel writer who was slightly involved in video games, he bravely showed up at the video game exhibition...
——[Everyone, please pay attention, everyone, please pay attention. 】
——[Now, the original author of "Super Academy War", Mr. En Uesugi, is preparing to hold a temporary autograph session in the Super Academy War Online Game Chronicles exhibition area. If you like this series, don't miss it. Repeat...]
The broadcast in the online game area of the exhibition kept broadcasting this news. Many people in the bustling crowd suddenly raised their heads, showing faces of incredible surprise.
Including the game cosplay area, everyone stopped for a moment and listened to this news in surprise.
Suddenly, the originally empty Super Academy War·Online Game Records exhibition area suddenly became agitated. As Li Yan watched in shock, a group of fans hidden in the game house surrounded the autograph exhibition.
"Old thief, come on, this time you will definitely buy the game, the regular edition of the novel, the collector's edition, and the special edition. We will never let down the results of your hard work."
"To be honest, the playability of online games is only half that of Xiang. But for fans who support the Super series, even if it is Xiang, I will continue to play."
"I have wanted to see the teacher for a long time, and I will definitely give my full support!"
…
During the short thirty-minute autograph session, this was basically what Li Yan heard from the video game geeks. Undoubtedly, money-making online games adapted from novels and animations are not popular among gamers. He can only rely on his signature to save the declining popularity of adapted games.
However, in the noisy crowd, Li Yan accidentally saw a girl cosplaying with Xin Heng Ningning outside the crowd. She was squeezed out by the sea of people with a shy and hesitant expression...
"It turns out that there are also cosplay fans in the game area..."
Li Yan thought to himself.
In the crowded game exhibition, unintentionally, it seems that the game field that was originally thought to have no connection with light novels also has a world that Uesugi Yan can touch...
Volume 9 The Master of Novel and Video Games Chapter 234 Megumi Kato’s original wish
Game. This word has always lived in the streets and alleys of Japan.
The bustling and bustling Akihabara is not only home to the culture of anime. It is essentially the world's largest electrical street that specializes in selling all kinds of electronic products. All kinds of excellent game works from Europe, America and Japan are gathered and sold here in large quantities. Generally speaking, you can buy them here. It would be a great place for new and old games.
"..."
Gabriel was wearing casual clothes with a listless expression on his face, looking at discounted used goods in a video game store.
When Gabriel, who returned from the summer vacation, first returned to the dormitory, he was like an evil ghost who had been hungry for more than a month, staying up all night to "devour" various game masterpieces released in July and August, such as "The Witcher", "Ride and Cut 2", "American Day 2"... I finally replenished my mental strength in a week.
However, the bad thing is that after playing all the A-level masterpieces, there will be an empty period of fun. During this period, there are no new games worth playing, so she came over to Taotao to get some. Old games buried in the grave, I hope to find old games that suit my taste.
"Now, have you ever played this thing?" Gabriel took out a game with "Ancient X-axis 5" written on it from a pile of old goods, glanced at Li Yan, and asked.
"No..." Li Yan replied from the side.
This store, which is not very big, displays many collectible FC, Telstar, PC-Engine, 3DO, and later PS series consoles and game disks. It also sells some masterpiece games of about ten years.
Simply, it is a video game museum.
Li Yan silently thought to himself, however, the reason why he came with Gabriel on this precious Saturday was still due to the restrictions of signing a "Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation" with a certain "devil", in order to play with Gabriel. For the games he had played, he could only obey orders and use his adult status to buy some restricted games. This...is the fate of the poor.
"I heard that the story is a bit weird and boring. I usually play it with some 18-ban mods developed by international fans, such as fairy N followers, or physical XX female magicians. It's very suitable for you. Let’s play…”
Gabriel did understand a little bit. She looked at the instructions and prices with her indifferent eyes, and carefully considered whether to buy it, while explaining to Li Yan.
"So, what is the value of this game..." Li Yan couldn't help but look at the cover with a cow helmet on it, and asked in confusion.
"Then what about this one, "Ranch X", well, I always think it's too childish, "Brave X Dragon"...I always feel that I don't like games that just kill monsters and upgrades recently. Huh...what happened? Have Japanese games produced these things in recent years? Don’t they have some games that are a bit fun to play? For example, "Brave X Dragon Build", or excellent works such as "Bloodborne X" and "Monster X" ?”
Gabriel, who continued to search for some old games on the rows of merchandise shelves, couldn't help but comment venomously, with a disappointed expression on his face.
"It's not that these games are not fun, it's just that the types of games you like to play are different... Besides, the works you like are considered blockbuster masterpieces of the year. How can there be such anticipated works released every year."
Li Yan persuaded Gabriel who was yawning while looking for a game.
Looking at the picky Gabriel, he always felt that the works released by the game company were actually very similar to the books released by Wenku. As recreational products, the creators put their souls into this carrier, but After all, the probability of failure is very high, and the possibility of being reviled, criticized, and disliked is also very high... Therefore, being able to have some loyal fans in countless works is undoubtedly a lucky thing.
Therefore, no matter what kind of work the creators do, they are a happy and hard-working group of social animals.
"Recently, Kato-san has been asking me how to make some games. It seems that the progress of the fan game club in their school is also not easy. Making a fan game probably takes a lot of time..."
Li Yan looked at a bunch of Touhou fan games and silently thought of Megumi Kato, Shiu Kasumigaoka, and Eiri, and his classmate An Yilun, an otaku who was also busy making fan games. He was a little curious about them. How to make a game.
"?" When Gabriel was looking for the game, he saw a slightly attractive cover and price tag.
"Have you decided what to buy?"
Li Yan noticed that Gabriel seemed to have found a game CD that he was interested in, and asked.
As a result, he lowered his head slightly and looked at the game cover in Gabriel's hand. It was a Q-version Japanese-style fantasy game with "Elf Story 2" written on it. The price was 500 yen, which was almost half the price.
"Well... let's keep searching for a while. You guys, why don't we look for some fun games together?"
