At around seven in the morning, Takayuki arrived at the video ga store in Adachi Ward by car ahead of others.
At this mont, many players were already gathering here.
They looked curiously at Takayuki getting out of the car.
Takayuki got out of the car and walked quickly. When the staff saw the car approaching, they imdiately opened the store's door and respectfully welcod Takayuki inside.
Then, one after another, several more people arrived by car and quickly entered the store.
This imdiately caused dissatisfaction among many players, who didn't understand why so people could enter the video ga store ahead of others.
"Hey, why can so people enter the video ga store ahead of others? Can they use the back door?!"
Adachi Ward generally has a simple folk style, and it also has the highest cri rate in the Tokyo area. Similarly, people here are usually straightforward.
But soone imdiately spoke up to remind, "Don't say that. The first person who entered was the president of Gastar, Takayuki."
"The president of Gastar? What does that an? He... Oh, the president of Gastar, then it's okay."
"President, you're here."
The staff bowed respectfully to Takayuki.
At the sa ti, they couldn't hide their happiness.
Being able to be in close contact with the gaming god in their hearts is quite rare for them.
These small employees usually don't have the opportunity for close contact.
However, these staff mbers are not quite sure what's going on.
They don't know why they received a sudden notification early in the morning not to open the store temporarily, while also being instructed to keep all the gaming machines used in the challenge in their original positions without moving them.
"Has Mr. Ota arrived?"
Takayuki casually asked.
"Mr. Ota hasn't arrived yet, but he should be on his way."
Mr. Ota, the bald entertainnt hall owner, has been working with Takayuki for a long ti.
Most of the ti before, he was doing business all over the country.
But just recently, Mr. Ota's business trips had been almost finished, and he was planning to go ho and rest well.
And there's also this challenge happening, Takayuki suggested that Mr. Ota also participate in the award ceremony; the ceremony's atmosphere shouldn't be lacking.
Mr. Ota naturally agreed, so he returned to Tokyo to rest.
However, Mr. Ota didn't expect that Takayuki would call him early in the morning at four or five o'clock and ask him to go to the video ga store in Adachi Ward.
Takayuki didn't explain in detail over the phone.
Mr. Ota doesn't have much knowledge about video gas, and he probably wouldn't understand those professional terms, so Takayuki just said that soone was causing trouble, and he needed his help.
After hearing this, Mr. Ota didn't say anything. He quickly dressed and drove over here.
But it seems he's stuck in traffic.
After hearing the staff's words, Takayuki nodded and didn't care about when Mr. Ota would arrive. Instead, he went straight to one of the 500 Super Famicom (SFC) units, took out a device similar to a screen display ter, and inserted the plug into the data port at the back of the SFC.
This data port is usually used for future external network ports or special devices.
At the sa ti, this port also has another function, which is to check for hardware program errors.
This can also check whether there has been malicious modification inside the SFC.
Of course, he alone can't check all 500 SFC units in a short ti, so he called a few engineers to help.
With the president's call, these engineers hurriedly ca early in the morning. After roughly understanding Takayuki's intention, they all showed a serious look.
It seems that soone may have tampered with the ga console's data, which is not a good thing.
Cheating in the challenge is unforgivable; once Takayuki confirms it, he will definitely make the person pay, making them understand the consequences of cheating.
With several people checking together, the speed is much faster. However, the custors outside are a bit dissatisfied.
"Hey, why haven't you opened the door yet? Don't you want to announce the rankings of the video gas anymore?"
"Dear custors, we apologize very much. We are conducting final statistics, so please wait a mont. We are willing to give each custor a small gift as compensation."
The complaints disappeared a lot once they heard about the small gifts.
Of course, the small gifts are just small badges or keychains, but they do reduce a lot of dissatisfaction, and the effect is very good.
Soon, Mr. Ota also arrived quickly by car.
As soon as he entered the video ga store, he saw Takayuki and several engineers checking the ga consoles together.
Seeing Takayuki and others' serious appearance, Mr. Ota didn't want to disturb them and could only wait patiently on the side.
Originally, Takayuki wanted to check through the surveillance caras.
But recently, there have been too many people in the store, and the crowded environnt often leads to blind spots in the field of view, making it difficult to identify which machine may have been tampered with. So, they can only check all of them again.
But fortunately, the inspection is not difficult.
After about an hour, an engineer suddenly shouted, "President, I found an abnormal machine!"
Takayuki looked up at the sound, and everyone else also imdiately gathered around to check the machine again.
The data has been modified, quite obviously. However, it's not the modification of the ga software on the console itself, but the modification of the built-in clock system in these consoles.
Takayuki imdiately understood that this is probably soone who first locked the clock's ti using so thod, and then when they were about to clear the ga, or after clearing it, they unlocked the clock's timing system, resulting in a substantial reduction in the clearance ti.
"Takayuki, what exactly happened?"
Mr. Ota was also curious and ca over to ask.
He still didn't understand what was going on.
Pointing to the ga console, Takayuki said, "Soone cheated in the challenge. If you don't understand, it's roughly equivalent to tampering with the winning probability in the Pachinko ga."
With this explanation, he imdiately understood.
He widened his eyes, "Who the hell did such a thing? How dare they tamper with the data? Do they want to die?"
When he used to run the entertainnt hall, Pachinko, similar to gambling machines, was the biggest source of inco for his shop.
And he often paid the most attention to these machines.
The output and inco of these machines are detailed every day.
Once there is any abnormality, he will imdiately send soone to check it. If he finds soone tampering with the Pachinko machine's data, the punishnt could be as light as a severe beating or as severe as no upper limit.
After all, he was once involved in the underworld, even though he has gradually whitened himself, the subconscious aggressiveness cannot be eliminated.
Usually, if he follows the rules, Mr. Ota is a pretty normal person, but if soone plays dirty tricks in front of him, he will imdiately change.
"I only know his na is Takasugi Ki."
A staff mber imdiately handed over a registration form with Takasugi Ki's seal on it.
"Find this person, and then we'll go together to the award ceremony in Minato Ward."
This kind of cheater must be punished severely to serve as a deterrent; otherwise, if given a chance, others might take risks and do the sa thing. Cheating must be completely eradicated from the beginning; there should be no chance for luck.
