At half past nine, Cang Lizheng was awakened by a tough company security guard in a tough way.

Wash, tidy up, replenish energy, and feel refreshed in fifteen minutes.

At nine forty-five, the live broadcast started on time.

At this time, the press conference of King of Fighters 97 has ended, and all players are quietly waiting for the game to be released at ten o'clock sharp.

Because King of Fighters 97 is not an ordinary PC game this time, but needs to be played on special gaming equipment, so most people have not yet experienced the game. Naturally, they gathered in the live broadcast room, waiting to watch Cang Lizheng's new game.

Premiere.

At the same time, long queues formed at VR chain Internet cafes in major cities across the country.

The production department of Ares Entertainment Company worked overtime to produce more than 10,000 new version arcade machines, which were distributed to major VR chain Internet cafes. Each store could only get one or two units, and the most could only get three or five units.

Facing the majority of game players, it is obviously not enough.

By the time King of Fighters 97 is released globally, more arcade machines will be needed, as well as handheld consoles.

Zhuang Li has entrusted the task of producing new versions of arcade machines and handheld consoles to major domestic and foreign game console manufacturers. They will be responsible for the production and assembly of the machines. Ares Entertainment only needs to provide the core chips.

In this way, the production speed of the equipment is greatly improved and the cost is also reduced.

Ten o'clock sharp.

The King of Fighters 97 is on the shelves on time.

The new version of the arcade machines in major VR chain Internet cafes across the country has been launched at the same time. The King of Fighters 97 that players have been waiting for is finally available to everyone!

"The King of Fighters 97 game has been officially launched. Before that, I will let you take a look at the new gaming equipment."

In front of the live broadcast camera, Cang Lizheng introduced the two gaming devices in front of him very coquettishly.

"As you can see, this big device is called an arcade machine. It looks a bit like the old-fashioned desktop monitor from the past, but its performance is more powerful than the average mid-range computer. It is equipped with an ultra-clear display and a holographic projection.

equipment."

"The part of operating the game is also different from the computer keyboard and mouse we usually use. You can see it here."

The camera turns to the arcade joystick position.

"This thing is called a joystick. When you hold it in your hand, um, it feels really good." In front of the camera, Cang Lizheng's gesture of holding the joystick looked obscene.

"Let me go, am I evil, or does this joystick look really evil!"

Some players couldn't help but complain.

"It's not that you are evil, nor is the joystick evil, but Mr. Cang is evil. Look at his expression, it seems like he is holding his own little tube. Hey, I can't help but shudder."

"Damn it, this Ares Entertainment Company is so weird. How did they come up with such a weird operating tool? I can't help but want to hold it."

…

Cang Lizheng ignored everyone's complaints and continued to introduce: "The function of this joystick is to control the movement and jumping of the character. It is very sensitive."

After speaking, he also demonstrated by shaking back and forth a few times.

Then he turned the live broadcast camera to the four buttons next to the joystick and said: "These four buttons are also very important. A and C are buttons that represent punches, and B and D are buttons that represent kicks."

"Don't you think it's very simple? Yes, compared to the dozens of keys on a computer keyboard, this new gaming device is so simple and crude. Is it a fighting game? If it's not about punching or kicking, is it possible that it can also send out a punch?

Shock wave?”

Some players asked: "Can't I send out shock waves? I have read the comics and anime of The King of Fighters, and it seems that they can send out shock waves with different moves."

"Hey, you guys will know this in a minute." Cang Lizheng left a question in suspense and continued to introduce the equipment.

"Everyone, pay attention to the middle. Do you see the two small holes in the middle? Do you know what they are for?"

"Could it be a hidden ultimate move?"

"What a wool trick, I saw right through it. It's just a coin slot! It's just like the coin slots of those doll clipping machines in shopping malls. It's used for krypton gold!"

"One dollar a time? So cheap?"

Cang Lizheng chuckled: "You guessed it right, this is the coin slot, but instead of putting in one dollar, you need to put in the game coins specific to Ares Entertainment to choose the character. As for the price of the game coins, it's ten yuan each, which is very

It’s cheap.”

"God is so cheap! Ten yuan is my day's food expenses! Didn't Dad Zhuang say that God of War Entertainment doesn't play krypton gold?"

"Brother, if your food expenses are only ten yuan a day, then I suggest you play the brick-moving game instead. That game is more suitable for you. Not only can you make money, but you can also exercise. Really."

"Go to Nimei, I'm going to risk my life today and go to a VR Internet cafe to exchange for a game currency for luxury!"

…

After introducing the arcade machine, Cang Lizheng picked up a handheld machine and introduced it.

"Of course, in addition to the big arcade machine you just saw that can play King of Fighters 97, you can also play this small device. This device is called a handheld console. The price is relatively cheap. The cheapest one is only 2,000 yuan, and the configuration is more advanced, such as mine

The one I have in my hand is the most advanced handheld machine with holographic image projection function. The price is 18,888 yuan, which is not very expensive. Moreover, the King of Fighters 97 game built into the handheld machine does not require additional coins and can be played forever!"

"The buttons on the handheld console are similar to those on the arcade machine. It's just that the joystick has been changed to a cross-shaped direction button. The feel is not as good as the joystick. The joystick feels really good. If you don't believe me, you can try it." in front of the screen.

Cang Lizheng's expression turned evil as he held the joystick.

A player posted a comment asking: "If you want to play, just play it for the most fun. I want to know how much it costs to buy an arcade machine."

"Local tycoon! Please support me!"

"Rich tycoon, I only want the cheapest handheld console!"

"Rich tycoon, I can come to your house and work as a nanny for free. I don't need any salary. I just want to play arcade games for free."

…

There has never been a shortage of rich people in the Dragon Kingdom. The original 200,000 units of the Dreamland Game Warehouse were all sold out.

So Cang Lizheng was not surprised at all, and explained: "Due to inventory reasons, the arcade machines of major VR Internet cafes are not yet fully equipped, so there are no arcade sales channels for the time being. I have a personally customized version of the arcade machine.

It is the only arcade machine sold to private individuals by Ares Entertainment."

"Young Master Cang, you will really get beaten if you show off like this."

"I knew there was an ulterior secret between Father Zhuang and Young Master Cang."

"Excuse me, Father Zhuang and Mr. Cang, do you accept 3.p."

Cang Lizheng smiled mischievously and said: "Although the sales channels of arcade machines are not yet open, I can first reveal to you the price of arcade machines, which is cheaper than the Dreamland Game Warehouse."
Chapter completed!
