"The fifth phase of construction is currently underway. The Pokémon Master Gym has been completed. Next, we’ll be building a super-large comprehensive adventure complex. This complex is what you ntioned before, President—the Retro Trend Pavilion. It will mainly feature venues and attractions designed around various classic, retro-style gas."
The manager in charge of the the park project tapped on the screen in front of him, uploading data to the large display ahead, which showed the current construction status of the park.
With official governnt support, the construction schedule had already advanced by at least a full year compared to the original plan.
That was an astonishing pace.
At present, venues such as Mario Castle, the Final Fantasy Chocobo Park, the Dragon Quest–thed hall, and the Pokémon Master Pavilion had already opened one after another.
And as more venues opened, the park increasingly beca a holy land in the hearts of players worldwide.
The sheer number of attractions also ant that the amount of content each visitor could experience increased dramatically.
If you really took your ti, there was no way to finish everything in a single day.
And since you’d gone through all the trouble of traveling to Tokyo, how could you possibly be satisfied with just playing a little and then leaving?
Naturally, you’d want to co back for more.
As a result, most individual visitors or tour groups now planned at least three days for a Gastar Park visit.
So who played at a more leisurely pace even stayed for a full week.
When you did the math, the daily ticket revenue was staggering.
Originally, it was estimated that the park would take three to five years to break even. Now, the inco alone was more than enough to fully support daily operations and continued expansion.
After listening to the report, Takayuki began laying out new plans.
That park land had been sold by the Japanese governnt at bargain-basent prices—letting it go to waste would be a huge loss.
So he decided to plan future Gastar Carnival venues there as well.
The carnival grounds would be built on a scale close to a full-fledged the park, large enough for players to spend an entire day enjoying themselves.
In addition, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt’s esports stadium would also be constructed in the sa area.
Ideally, it would be a super-large, comprehensive esports venue capable of holding more than 100,000 people.
Once completed, it could even be rented out to external organizations.
If anyone was interested, they could directly rent the stadium, bringing in additional revenue.
Takayuki’s careful planning essentially mapped out several years’ worth of developnt for the entire park district.
To players, that place was a sacred land. To Takayuki, it was no less so.
In his previous life, he’d never had the chance to experience a player haven of this scale.
Most companies, constrained by various considerations, would never attempt sothing like this.
But Takayuki had no such worries.
At monts like this, he couldn’t help but feel grateful to the outstanding ga creators of his previous life—without their gas, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to realize so many gaming dreams in this world.
After that, the eting shifted to the Olympics.
The opening and closing ceremonies had now entered the final preparation phase.
All filming work had essentially been scheduled and completed.
A few days ago, another full rehearsal had taken place, and the feedback from this run-through was reportedly excellent.
The elderly director was delighted—he hadn’t been able to create so freely in a very long ti.
This made him genuinely grateful to Takayuki.
He was no longer working hard just because of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt’s financial power.
He truly wanted to create an Olympic opening and closing ceremony that would leave an unforgettable impression on everyone.
At the sa ti, however, Takayuki had heard from multiple sources that other aspects of the Olympics were running into trouble.
First, several mbers of the organizing committee’s managent had been reshuffled—so promoted, others demoted.
Then they began aggressively pushing the concept of a "green Olympics," trying to make as many elents of the Gas as possible revolve around environntal protection.
This was sothing Takayuki was all too familiar with.
In his previous life, it was precisely this group’s actions that gradually derailed the Tokyo Olympics, making it awkward and incoherent, eventually turning it into a global joke.
Back then, the pri minister who had been deeply involved in the preparations ultimately resigned just before the opening ceremony.
It was hard not to read between the lines.
But none of that really concerned Takayuki. As long as the Olympic committee didn’t interfere with him, they could blow the entire Olympics up for all he cared.
If the Olympics truly couldn’t be held in this world, he’d simply repurpose the fully prepared opening and closing ceremonies for Gastar Electronic Entertainnt’s own Esports World Cup.
By now, that Esports World Cup was gradually gaining the strength to stand toe-to-toe with traditional Olympic sporting events.
More and more young people were willing to support video gas.
After all, they looked far more fashionable.
Alongside the preparations for the Olympic ceremonies was the developnt of the Olympic-thed ga.
This was a project Takayuki had promised the Japanese governnt earlier.
Making an IP crossover ga like this wasn’t particularly stressful—just Gastar Electronic Entertainnt’s existing IPs were more than enough to support an Olympic All-Stars–style ga.
But to showcase unity across the gaming industry, Takayuki proactively invited Suri Electronics, Brown Entertainnt, and Mikfow to license characters from their IPs as well.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt would pay the appropriate licensing fees, all to allow players to experience a wider variety of IP characters in a single ga.
Hayakawa Ueto of Suri Electronics agreed readily.
He personally loved events like the Olympics.
When he was young, he had witnessed a ti when Japan’s national confidence surged because of the Olympics.
Even now, thinking back on that era still stirred his blood.
Now that he had the ability to contribute to the Olympics himself, he had no reason to refuse.
Hayakawa Ueto even offered to license many of his IP characters to Gastar Electronic Entertainnt for free.
The only condition was that his characters get more screen ti in CG animations.
Takayuki politely declined.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, this was still his ga. Inviting other companies’ IPs was already about leveraging their popularity to boost his own ga’s influence.
Giving their characters more spotlight would completely put the cart before the horse.
So the fees would be paid as usual.
More screen ti? Not happening.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt’s IP characters would be the center of attention—non-negotiable.
Brown Entertainnt’s CEO, Hack Brown, expressed interest in Gastar’s invitation.
He was much more straightforward—after asking for a higher licensing fee, he agreed to the deal and allowed Gastar to arrange everything freely, with no interference.
He trusted Takayuki’s character.
As for Mikfow—
Myron Kess refused outright, without hesitation.
