"There aren't any arcade games like King of Fighters, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Dynasty Warriors, or Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey King yet..."
"In other words, arcade games haven't reached their most profitable era yet."
Lin Yifeng strolled around the arcade with game tokens in his hand, surveying the arcade market.
In his previous life, Lin Yifeng made his fortune through arcade games.
To be precise, it started by smuggling arcade games.
The arcade atmosphere in Russia is far less vibrant than in China, and arcades in Russia don't generate much profit.
However, Russia has a wide variety of arcade games, and Sakura's game developers do not restrict Russia, so Lin Yifeng can get a lot of arcade games from Russia.
He sold arcade games from Russia to China through illegal means, thus earning his first pot of gold in his previous life.
During this process, Lin Yifeng got to know many big shots in the business world.
Some bigwigs are so powerful that... some get caught, and some get executed.
This is why Lin Yifeng never touches gray or black after his rebirth.
...
The arcade was packed with people.
There were children wearing red scarves, junior high school students wearing ill-fitting clothes, vocational school students like Lin Yifeng, and some middle-aged people in suits.
Without exception, all of them were sitting or standing in front of the arcade machine, shouting and yelling along with the game content.
Lin Yifeng walked around the arcade and found that none of the 14 arcade machines were idle.
He and his roommate held their game tokens and waited for almost twenty minutes, but they still couldn't get on the machine.
"There are just too many people!"
"There's no chance to even get on the plane!"
"There's nothing we can do, that's just how arcades are, they're just too popular!"
“Look at that middle-aged man, he’s died so many times, but he just won’t get off the plane and keeps taking out money to recharge.”
"He's too bad. I could get to this level with just two coins."
Lin Yifeng and his roommates gathered together and discussed quietly. They had coins in their hands and were unwilling to just stand behind the arcade machine and watch others play.
"Aaaaaah, I can't wait any longer!!"
Zhou Liangang was the first to lose patience with the wait. He rolled up his sleeves, went behind a child wearing a red scarf, and grabbed the child.
"Kid, run! Your dad found out you skipped school to play video games, and he's coming to get you!"
Zhou Liangang menacingly tried to scare the child wearing a red scarf, but the child wasn't afraid at all. Instead, the child bit Zhou Liangang's hand, causing Zhou Liangang to quickly let go in pain.
"Bullshit!"
"You big idiot, my dad's sitting right here!"
The child pointed at the middle-aged man sitting next to him and launched into a tirade, leaving Zhou Liangang looking utterly embarrassed.
Damn it, how come there are adults bringing kids to play games? Aren't you afraid of corrupting the kids?
Kukuku~
Lin Yifeng and his group couldn't help but laugh from a distance. Zhou Liangang's face darkened immediately. Just as he was about to complain to his roommate, a conflict suddenly broke out in front of a Street Fighter II game console not far away.
The conflict was intense; within seconds, the two men were locked in a fierce fight. Just as Lin Yifeng was about to step forward to see what was happening, a group of thugs suddenly appeared in front of him and surrounded him.
"Hey bro, can I borrow a few coins?"
?
Lin Yifeng glanced at the people who were blocking his way.
These thugs were all very young, around fifteen or sixteen years old. Among them, two of them were holding fruit knives and waving them around.
"Brother, we're just lending you a few coins. If you behave and hand over the coins you have, we won't hit you."
The sleazy-looking boy pointed a dagger at the six game coins in Lin Yifeng's hand, and Lin Yifeng sighed silently.
Arcades were incredibly popular in 1992.
But it's too chaotic.
The fight over there hadn't even ended when the robbery started.
