"Contest?"

The group looked at each other, wondering what was so interesting about comparing these things.

Ye Wu, on the contrary, frowned.

"If you're talking about opening a shop, a few of us can help you without any problem."

"We need to get some experience in the competition."

"After all, this is under the jurisdiction of the Sports Bureau."

Lin Yifeng was not surprised by this.

After all, in later generations, even famous e-sports competitions had to go through the sports bureau to apply for approval.

If the sports bureau doesn't give in, you simply can't organize the competition.

However, with the strong connections of these people, this matter should be arranged in just a few days.

For Lin Yifeng, the biggest challenge in organizing a competition was not building connections, but rather promoting it.

"By the way, Young Master Lin."

Ma Ning looked at Lin Yifeng and continued to press for answers.

"What type of competition is this?"

"It's not really going to be an arcade game competition, is it?"

Lin Yifeng first shook his head, then nodded.

Seeing that the others were still puzzled, he could only reveal his plan.

Lin Yifeng brought back so many machines not only to open a chain of arcade stores in Makino City, but also to prepare for a larger-scale competition.

Games with strong economic elements, such as Street Fighter and Fighting Tiger, are perfect for a competition.

The prizes for victory range from cash to physical items.

It can be said that Lin Yifeng already had a complete blueprint in mind. At present, fighting games dominate the market. When King of Fighters is released at the end of 1993 and sweeps the country, the popularity of such competitions will remain high.

Then, around the year 2000, games like Counter-Strike, StarCraft, and Red Alert were released.

Lin Yifeng was simply running the e-sports model ahead of time, securing a place before the e-sports industry truly began to develop.

Ye Wu was also very excited when he heard that there was still this match.

"Young Master Lin! When are we going to start?"

"when……"

Lin Yifeng was both amused and exasperated by his brothers' eagerness.

"Once I'm settled, I'll try it out in Makino City first."

"We'll start with weekly tournaments, and then hold monthly tournaments based on the points standings."

The guys couldn't stop smiling when they saw that Lin Yifeng had already prepared a plan.

"Young Master Lin! Can I register in advance?"

"I'm signing up too! I'm going to teach Ye Wuzheng a lesson for his stubbornness today!"

"Register me in advance too!"

Everyone was laughing and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

The next day.

After seeing the drivers off, Xu Qingyi came to the shop to help Lin Yifeng deal with the machines.

During the day, under Lin Yifeng's arrangement, several new machines were placed in the back row of the Longteng Arcade. At the same time, Lin Yifeng also called on his staff to assemble the TVs and consoles and place them in the front row near the entrance.

The TV and the main unit were easy to handle; Lin Yifeng could basically set them up quickly. The rest was just teaching the shop assistant how to start them up and how to turn them on.

Soon the store welcomed its first customers.

These customers are all regulars of Longteng Games.

Upon seeing the new machines and two large color TVs in the store, everyone was surprised. The new Longteng machines and FC slots were completely full that day.

However, Lin Yifeng did not linger at the Dragon Arcade for long, but instead took Xu Qingyi to the next store.

This store is in a better location than Longteng Game Hall. It is located on the edge of the city center market. The decoration is better, and it is a small three-story building with a very large space on the first floor. There are also many passers-by around the entrance.

The sign at the entrance had long been changed to "Tenglong Esports Club".

According to Xu Qingyi, this is a milk tea shop that opened next to the big market last month. However, because Mixue Ice Cream is so popular, their shop has been unable to reduce costs for a long time.

After only one month of operation, the owner couldn't withstand the pressure and sold the shop.

After Lin Yifeng acquired the property, he also hired someone to renovate it. The original bar was kept, and the second and third floors were renovated.

There are six TV cabinets and six two-seater sofas on the second floor.

Undoubtedly, the first and second floors are dedicated to console gaming, while the bar area also offers drinks and freshly made milk tea and cold beverages at any time.

As for the third floor, Lin Yifeng converted it into four private rooms, each equipped with an oval table that can seat seven people, creating a card room exclusively for the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill".

Air conditioning has been installed on all three floors, and Lin Yifeng has confirmed that the current pricing is based on the hour.

Soon the workers carried the television into the house.

Of the remaining four 29-inch televisions, Lin Yifeng placed two on the first floor and two on the second floor.

Lin Yifeng placed the 25-inch TV he had on the remaining four seats on the second floor.

After assembling the main unit and installing the TV, it was already afternoon.

A short while later, Ye Wu and his friends arrived at the store, munching on hamburgers and carrying Cokes.

After seeing the store's simple yet bright interior, the group of six was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Wu's eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap!"

"Playing this high?"

"This thing!"

Ye Wu was taking a cassette tape from Zhou Zhengcheng next to him.

On either side of the entrance, Lin Yifeng had specially placed two vertical glass display cases containing Nintendo game consoles and boxes, as well as many cartridges they had never seen before.

Furthermore, the natural light adds to its sophisticated and classy feel.

Of course, these machines on display were low-quality machines and cassettes sourced from Huaqiangbei; they were essentially just for show.
