Chapter 738: Chapter 230: Ke Er!

"Damn, everyone look at me! I declare Baby Ke is my freaking daddy! I’m the dog of the top player!!"

Top player’s official offline SW direct store—Game Fun 001 flagship store.

Snap.

As a plump guy slammed his controller on the table and suddenly stood up to make his statement,

within a second, he rapidly attracted the gaze of all the customers on the first floor, even some customers near the stairs on the second floor were drawn by the commotion, curiously standing by the stairwell to check out the situation.

"Brother Fangfang, what’s the occasion today?" Positioned at the bar, Ma Yang, while wiping the disinfected drinking glasses with a clean cloth, cheerfully asked.

Since last year, after discussing a series of matters personally with Mr. Ke, Ma Yang agreed to the proposition of Top Player acquiring Game Fun.

And even to this day, he continued to act as the manager of the flagship store of Game Fun.

The remuneration provided by Mr. Ke was also quite generous, which motivated Ma Yang to work hard ’for both passion and future.’

As for Brother Fangfang, he was an old acquaintance inside Ma Yang’s store.

Being a kind-hearted and chubby office worker, Brother Fang was sure to visit the store every weekend to play games.

Even spending enough to buy three SW consoles plus all of Top Player’s game cartridges.

Still, he never tired of it.

No other reason, he, like other offline players, cherished the amicable and friendly atmosphere.

Work pressures were already heavy enough; playing games alone often felt lonely.

Having the chance to sit down with many like-minded friends, discussing strategies, and fervently debating about character design or world-building,

Even if sometimes arguments got heated, a couple of iced drinks clinking together would quickly ease any upset.

This pleasant atmosphere was something Brother Fangfang truly enjoyed.

The origin of Brother Fangfang’s name was because he excessively loved every game Top Player released, adoring and purchasing all available merchandise.

Sometimes, carried away by excitement, he would even loudly declare "Designer Ke is my real dad!"—a rather confusing statement.

Later, when Hope Flute suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Top Player, being mockingly nicknamed ’Ke Yi’er’ by players,

Brother Fang found this designation quite amusing.

But after seriously considering his own identity, he figured that rationally speaking, he probably didn’t have the standing to ’bump into’ Hope Flute.

Thus, he humbly referred to himself as ’Ke Er’er’.

Since ’Er’ and ’Er’ sounded quite awkward together.

So, the players who hung around with him in the store simply began calling him ’Son Fangfang’

Later it was simplified to Brother Fangfang.

Brother Fang didn’t mind these nicknames, maintaining a very good relationship with the players in the store, including the manager, Ma Yang.

Today, after "Zelda" had just launched shortly, Brother Fang rushed excitedly to the store.

After less than half an hour into his trial play, he excitedly stood up and shouted out a statement the regulars in the store were all too used to.

Seeing Ma Yang smilingly asking him,

Brother Fang instantly had a face flushed with enthusiasm as he promoted, "I really suggest that every player here give ’Zelda’ a try!"

"I truly believe its take on the open world is god-tier!"

Some people looked at him and laughed, also shouting, "You’re declaring it god-tier after only half an hour?"

Others said, "Last time you played ’Elden,’ you said the same thing."

"No no no, I’m serious," Brother Fang continuously shook his head to explain, "’Elden’ was just a glimpse into the open world concept, but ’Zelda’s mastery in the open world is absolutely sublime!"

He followed with discussions of ’a perfectly integrated guiding method in the game,’ ’delicate and realistic physical principles,’ ’immense freedom to go anywhere your eyes wander,’ and other incomprehensible phrases.

The whole store was filled with joyful laughter.

Play aside, jests aside.

But still, many players were now gathering behind Brother Fang.

Most offline players coming to Game Fun liked Top Player

but that didn’t necessarily mean they liked every game by Top Player,

especially those who weren’t generally interested in the ’open world’ genre, having heard it mentioned incessantly for half a year, could instinctively feel some aversion.

They wouldn’t choose ’Zelda’ on their own

But seeing how Brother Fang hyped it up, they couldn’t help but feel curious.

Soon, Brother Fang attracted about ten players behind him, all eager to see if ’Zelda’ was as miraculous as Brother Fang had claimed.

While the current Brother Fang, holding the controller, stared intently at the large screen hanging on the wall.

What had impressed him moments before was the scene where teleportation towers rose all across the expanse of the Hyrule Continent, creating a sense of epic grandeur.

After unlocking a teleportation tower, the Sheikah Slate in Link’s possession displayed the map of the whole Initial Plateau area.

And at the same time, looking down from atop the tower,

He could see many strange buildings that hadn’t existed before, scattered around the entirety of Initial Plateau.

Seeming to have emerged along with the breaking ground of the teleportation tower, they were unlocked simultaneously.

Those structures, looking like giant stone totems, emitted an orange bizarre pattern, drawing one’s curiosity.
