Chapter 422 Six points? Seven points?
James and Kevin
played 1-2-switch for two hours...
The process was confusing.
But they enjoyed it.
After finally experiencing all the mini-games in 1-2-switch,
they reluctantly replaced the new game cartridge - Mario Kart!
While playing this game,
they finally tried to plug the console into the dock.
Because it was really stupid for two people to hold the handle and play on the small screen.
When the console was plugged into the dock and the game screen appeared,
they said "COOL" again...
And Mario Kart.
They played for even longer, nearly four hours.
From the morning until three in the afternoon.
Originally, among the many escort masterpieces of Linmu Studio, they were least optimistic about this Mario Kart.
But this game, in fact, is
really addictive!
At six in the afternoon,
the editorial department got off work.
Wayne, who had been flirting with girls all day, passed by, glanced at James and Kevin who were still holding the controller, and laughed again.
But James and Kevin didn't notice him.
After they finished another exciting carriage, they finally stopped reluctantly and prepared to play the next game.
Time passed slowly.
Soon.
Almost everyone in the editorial department had left.
James and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.
The churning of their stomachs made them stop the single-player plot of Splatoon.
"Come to my house tonight."
James took the initiative to speak.
"Okay."
Kevin agreed without thinking: "I'll order a pizza first."
Obviously.
The two didn't want to go home just like that.
Instead, they planned to go back and continue playing!
Because... the game is really interesting!
...
The next day.
Kevin and James were late.
The two came to the editorial department with black circles on their heads, and then without wasting a moment, they directly connected the console base to the power supply and continued to play.
During this period.
Other colleagues also noticed the game they were playing and came to ask.
But the two ignored it.
Except when they were fighting for the controller, the two didn't even talk to others.
The two of them played day and night.
After the two of them changed hands, the handle was about to be patinated in just a few days...
Soon.
Time came to January 12.
Five days had passed since the Linmu Studio mailed it.
Kevin and James finally got rid of the initial enthusiasm.
No longer staring at the game all the time.
But from time to time, the two of them would open the game and write something on the document.
Very seriously.
Occasionally, they would exclaim "really amazing".
And this day.
It was also the day for the review submission.
Wayne took his review book and walked around to the position of James and Kevin and teased them.
"Hey, idiots, I see you have played the game for so many days, how do you feel?"
Hearing Wayne's voice.
Kevin and James raised their heads at the same time.
Both of them looked haggard.
"...Shit, you are not really gay!"
Wayne was shocked to see that the two people's faces were almost identical, and then he said with some disgust.
"Don't you have a console too? Have you played it? Especially the game "The Legend of Zelda"? What do you think?"
James ignored him, but looked at the information tucked under his armpit, and suddenly asked after thinking of something.
"It's just so-so."
Seeing that the two did not respond to his words, Wayne did not continue to tease. After all, LGBT is not a lie. In fact, he regretted showing a disgusted expression just now.
Now that he heard that the other party was willing to take the initiative to change the subject, he quickly took the opportunity to change the subject.
"So-so?" James' eyes widened suddenly.
"So-so?" Kevin's eyes also widened suddenly.
"?"
Wayne saw the expressions of the two and was a little confused.
He opened the game and browsed around casually, then killed monsters twice, and felt that it was not as exciting as other games, so he stopped playing.
However.
He felt that the two were a little strange... He didn't dare to stay any longer, shook his head, turned around and went to the editor-in-chief's office.
James and Kevin watched Wayne leave, then looked at each other and stood up suddenly.
Ten minutes later.
Wayne gave his review to the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief of CGN took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to speak.
There was a knock on the door.
Then James and Kevin walked in.
"Editor-in-chief."
"What's the matter?" The editor-in-chief of CGN saw the two people and frowned slightly.
"Can you show me Wayne's review?
" James said straight to the point: "This is very important. "
Editor-in-chief of CGN: "..."
"Fuck! What do you mean!?"
Wayne was furious.
Kevin took over from James and said bluntly: "I doubt he has a deep understanding of the game."
"Wtf! You..."
Wayne was furious.
Although he thought these two people were idiots, he didn't expect that the other party would be so stupid!
"There is no need, he is also a professional editor, you have to believe in his ability."
The editor-in-chief spoke at this time, interrupting Wayne and said to James and Kevin.
"No, editor-in-chief, I know what you are going to do, but you really can't do it this time!"
James shook his head: "You haven't played it yet, right? You can go back and experience it first, and you will know what I am talking about. If you really insist on doing it, we will be embarrassed when their games and consoles are released!"
"Yes, I can testify to this, editor-in-chief." Kevin said, nodding in agreement.
"..."
The editor-in-chief of CGN looked at the two of them, a little surprised and hesitant.
But then the phone rang, and he suppressed that emotion again.
"Okay, I will consider it, go out."
The editor-in-chief of CGN looked at the phone, then shook his head, motioning James and Kevin to go out.
"Editor-in-chief..."
"Go out!"
James: "..."
James and Kevin looked at each other, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and left the editor-in-chief's office together.
The editor-in-chief picked up the phone, listened quietly for a while, and replied: "I see, I have received it here, I will do it right away."
Then, he hung up the phone and handed the review book in his hand back to Wayne who was still glaring at the door: "Just send it out according to this manuscript."
"I see."
Wayne turned around and was about to take the review book.
But the editor-in-chief did not let go. He pinched a corner of the review book and suddenly asked: "Have you played the game seriously?" "
...Yes."
Wayne froze and nodded with a stutter.
"Okay."
The editor-in-chief let go of a corner of the review book.
Although he was still a little worried, he really had no choice.
Time was running out.
Peria had been putting pressure on him crazily, because the sales of traditional consoles were affected, and Hardcore had recently joined.
He was really under a lot of pressure.
Besides.
Although Kevin and James said it very seriously, I didn't just talk about the shortcomings here, so it shouldn't be that serious.
In addition, Kevin and James have exaggerated their words more than once or twice...
"Give me the console and the game later."
The editor-in-chief thought about it, but finally added to Wayne.
Come to think of it.
He himself has not played the console and games of Linmu Studio yet, maybe... he can give it a try?
...
On the other side.
Kevin and James left the office, feeling a little confused.
Suddenly.
James asked: "Do you think it will be seven points?"
"According to Wayne's character, six points is possible."
"...Six points?"
"Yeah."
"..."
There was a moment of silence.
James said: "It feels like it's over."
Kevin also nodded: "Indeed, whether it is seven points or six points, we will become the laughing stock of the industry..."
In fact, he didn't say another sentence...
If it really is seven points or six points.
Linmu Studio... will definitely turn hostile!
I just don't know how serious the consequences will be.
