Chapter 596 Ed

In the 1970s, a toy company called LJN was established in the United States.

Its name comes from the abbreviation of its major shareholder.

At first, the main products produced by LJN were naturally just toys, but... In 1985, when the storm of "Atari ET incident (the impact of this incident on the North American home console market was similar to the impact of "Blood Lion" on the entire domestic game industry, and its horror was far greater than the latter, so that many strange rumors are still circulating)" had not yet faded... The then famous game company MCA actually acquired LJN for 60 million US dollars and let it embark on the road of developing video games (video_game)...

From then on, a legend in the game industry began.

In North America, LJN quickly won the title of "Game Tomato Maker". The company used movies, TV shows and celebrities as themes, and continuously and massively produced NES games whose quality and playability were lower than the industry standard.

"Terminator", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Back to the Future", "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", "The Adventures of A\　Bi and Adi"... all kinds of scumbag games that made people throw their controllers in anger due to non-technical mistakes were released, which ravaged the hearts of countless passionate teenagers in the 8-bit era and left an indelible shadow.

During this period, 1 was changed hands and joined acclai, and the toy department was closed, becoming a dedicated game developer.

Of course, its style did not change because of this, it is still the same...

Those years were the heyday of the 8-bit machine. Under the guise of a legal listed company, ljn was independent of its parent company and outsourced the game adaptation of film and television works to some unknown and strange third-party studios.

It ignored the most basic game quality and user experience. It stamped its little rainbow mark (the logo of ljn company is a six-color rainbow) on those works with uneven quality (most of them are terrible), and spread them in the world...

The result is as a well-known game critic summarized-

"Purple represents disgusting game operation.

Blue represents ugly game music.

Green represents blind game quality.

Yellow represents extreme disloyalty to the original.

Orange represents the fucked-up developers themselves.

Red represents the sadistic tendency of super heavy games."

ljn... has become a symbol. Just like those unscrupulous merchants who are obviously producing rubbish works today but can still make a profit... Because they can survive, they think their existence is reasonable, so they take it for granted... It's good to keep the status quo.

However, time will prove everything...

Although there are a few decent games under the imprint of the rainbow logo, more than 90%... are rubbish. Many years have passed, and ljn has almost become synonymous with rubbish games.

Even in the inner world of "Horror Paradise". A place called "LJN Paradise" also appeared.

A malicious game designer built a place of exile here and named it LJN.

Those pixel garbage, game bugs, failed products, defective products, etc. that are not tolerated by the world, and so on and so forth

-things that have nowhere to go and nowhere to take, finally came here.

And Root, one of the three giants of the Origin organization, is the ruler here.

Today (a day in the other world is also 24 hours, and the time flow rate is the same as most areas in the main universe, but different from the real world), Root rarely walked out of the core area of ​​the paradise. Came to the edge of the LJN Paradise.

She stood silently, looking at the "desktop" plain in the distance, as if waiting for something, and muttered in her mouth: "Tsk...too slow. If this goes on..."

"...If this goes on, V1 will catch up." Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side and back of Root, and continued her unfinished words.

"First it was Link...now it's you?" Root did not look back. Then he said the other person's name, "Ed..."

The man called Ed took a few steps forward after hearing this. Standing side by side with Ruth, he said, "Because I am also curious about what kind of person the human you trust is."

This Ed is also one of the three giants of Origin. In fact, his full name is Edminestrit (Administrator), but in order to clear the suspicion of using a long name to make up the number of characters, he got the abbreviation Ed from me.

Ruth glanced at him and continued, "So... you came uninvited too?"

Ed replied coldly, "You know my authority. I haven't done the operation of 'asking for instructions' for a long time."

"Humph... I just hate your attitude." Ruth snorted coldly, "You speak arrogantly in a tone without any emotion."

"What I said is all the facts." Ed replied. "Yes." Ruth continued, "This is the root cause of my anger."

"Well... I noticed that since the last operation failed..." Ed said again, "You have become more and more abnormal."

"You should look in the mirror first, Slime. With your behavior... you still have the nerve to say that others are abnormal?" Ruth replied in a tone similar to complaining.

It makes sense for her to say that. At this moment, Ed's body doesn't look like anything special: about 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned body shape, dressed in ordinary black clothes... However, his head is like a floating ball of liquid mercury. , slowly squirming on the neck.

"I just encountered a bottleneck in the process of further upgrading my own program." Ed, the slime head, explained with his head (no facial features, the voice came directly from the inside of the skull), "Before the breakthrough, I can only maintain this temporarily. kind of state.”

"This isn't a bottleneck, it's just a 'neck'..." Root continued to complain.

"Uh..." Ed was speechless. He didn't know how to respond to such rubbish, so he could only change the subject and said, "By the way, since Link came before me, why did he leave now? "

"Because there was news from the 'π Maze' just now. The search team sent by Link a month ago finally found SCP-079 and has it under control." Root replied.

When Ed heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Then I have to rush there immediately..."

Seeing his reaction, Root's expression changed immediately: "You all seem to be afraid of that thing..."

"Scp-079 is the key to our fight against the 'system'." Ed said, walking towards the table, "Besides..." He paused and said in a serious tone, "He is not a thing... …”(To be continued...)
