    Taikoo Shing was originally a British military barracks. Later, it was converted into commercial real estate in order to develop the island and was handed over to the Swire Group for housing construction.  In this small land of 53 acres, Swire Group has built 61 buildings with a total of more than 12,800 suites.  Because the residence is closely integrated with industrial buildings and community parks, the environment is elegant, and the ingenious design integrates home and work. Most importantly, it is located in Central, the most prosperous area on the island. It has been a great success. All houses were sold out as soon as they were launched, and the total number of residents  With more than 40,000 people, it has become a city within a city.  Pacific Place is located in the center of Taikoo Shing. Its official name is Cityplaza, and it deserves its name.  After ten years of development, Pacific Place has become one of the most famous landmark buildings in Hong Kong Island.  The mall is home to luxury brand stores from all over the world. In addition to local citizens who often come to shop, tourists who come to Hong Kong or are passing through Hong Kong also like to come here to shop. It is famous at home and abroad.  Today is the weekend. As soon as Pacific Place opened its doors early in the morning, waves of people came, especially young people.  But after they arrived at Pacific Place, instead of shopping for their favorite products in various stores, they went straight to the Taiyu Entertainment Center on the second floor of Tower B.  With expressions of anticipation and urgency on their faces, they rushed to the counter after entering, and the first thing they asked was: "Is the new machine here?" After receiving a positive reply from the staff, they immediately started asking without hesitation.  He took out ten yuan, one hundred yuan, and even five hundred yuan bills from his pocket, exchanged them all for one yuan coins, and rushed to the rows of arcade machines in the hall.  These are the loyal fans of Taiyu Technology.  Over the past four years, as Taiyu Technology has continuously launched a variety of well-received arcade games, leading the development of the global gaming industry, it has gradually cultivated a group of die-hard fans among young citizens.  Their initial love for games has gradually transformed into loyalty to the Taiyu Technology brand. Taiyu Technology has become their spiritual sustenance.  They will be honored for any praise of Taiyu Technology; they will respond fiercely to any criticism of Taiyu Technology with the strongest desire to attack.  They are concerned about every game launched by Taiyu Technology. They always try it out as soon as it is released, and then write about their feelings after trying it in newspapers and magazines, and strongly recommend other game fans to play it.  If the game they recommend can be recognized by the market and welcomed by the public, it will be the greatest happiness for them. Otherwise, they will be extremely frustrated, which is even harder to accept than their own failure.  Today is the time when Taiyu Technology¡¯s new game is launched, and it has also experienced a revision incident. There have been constant rumors about Taiyu Technology¡¯s revision, with mixed reviews.  In order to protect their beloved Taiyu Technology, these loyal fans have fought countless wars with them in newspapers and media.  But in the process, their emotions were inevitably affected a little.  How is the new arcade machine after the revision? Will it be worse than the original one? Are the games released to match the hardware changes because they are too rushed, as some tabloid reporters who say bad things about Taiyu say?  The shoddy manufacturing turned into a Waterloo battle that caused Taiyu Technology to fall from the altar.  All kinds of speculations made them anxious, suffering with both expectation and worry.  Now that the new machine is finally on the market, all loyal fans have burst out with strong passion. They have even given up on this rare day of sleeping in. They are more active than going to work or school. They get up early in the morning and work as fast as possible.  Rush to Taiyu Technology¡¯s flagship store in Central and provide support with practical actions.  A skinny boy who looked like a student was holding a whole box of coins handed over by the staff, and without even counting them, he hurriedly walked to the arcade, for fear that he would not be able to grab the machine if he was slow.  The Taikoo Shing flagship store is Taiyu Technology¡¯s only self-operated store on Hong Kong Island. It is not for the purpose of making money. It is mainly to showcase its products to the industry and game enthusiasts.  In the entertainment hall of more than 500 square meters, there are hundreds of arcade machines placed in rows and rows. From the oldest space invaders to the latest games, they all have their own places.  Even old games that no one plays anymore have their place here.  By just taking a trip here, even a layman who knows nothing about the history of arcade games can have a very clear perceptual understanding of the development of arcade games in recent years in just a few minutes.  Therefore, only a portion of the people who often come to Swire flagship stores are loyal game fans. Many of them are business personnel on Hong Kong Island from game equipment dealers from the local area, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, North America, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries.  They have been stationed for a long time. When Taiyu Technology launches a new game, they will start playing it immediately.?Play.  At the same time, we observe the attitudes of other players to evaluate the audience scope and sales popularity of this game, and then feed back the evaluation report for the boss to decide whether to buy and how much to buy.  Especially new games, flagship stores will always be put on display earlier than other game halls. If you want to see the true appearance of new games at the earliest, where else can you go but here?  So on the last weekend of March, the Taikoo flagship store was crowded with people, including curious shopping mall customers, ordinary game fans, loyal Taiyu fans, agents, representatives of electronic manufacturers, and business personnel of global game production companies.  All kinds of people gather here.  The flagship store has only been open for half an hour, and the spacious game hall is already packed to the brim and cannot accommodate any more people.  But at this time, the people who were already in the store had already ignored the crowds and crowded around the latest arcade machines. They were completely immersed in the pleasure of the game and forgot about everything.  In the hall, various electronic sound effects of the game were resounding, and bursts of cheers erupted from time to time from the players.  The student who had grabbed an arcade machine before had no idea that the arcade was already overcrowded. All his energy was focused on the screen in front of him, and he was so engrossed that he had no time to take into account the changes around him.  "Lost!" The character he chose was lying on the ground on his back, with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, looking helplessly at the sky.  The referee who was invisible behind the scenes loudly shouted the ruling of "You lose", and a huge line of English stretched and shrank in the center of the screen, as if mocking his poor operation level.  "Come on, why did you lose again!" The student smashed the console angrily, feeling like he was on fire.  "Haha! You lost, it's my turn!" There were already people around him. After seeing the newly launched fighting game Street Fighter, everyone was shocked by this refreshing game method.  The more than 50 new machines that were put out were all snatched up in an instant, and the players who didn't get them were reluctant to leave, so they stood behind other players itchingly.  Seeing that he lost, several game fans who had long been unable to restrain themselves and wanted to end the game were ready to take his place, and even started to push each other.  "So what if I lose, I put in two hundred coins!" The student realized that he was already surrounded by people, and he was surrounded by black heads, and he couldn't see outside.  He was startled by the battle and felt someone pushing behind him. He quickly grabbed the joystick and threw half of his body on the game console.  He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had exchanged a whole box of coins as soon as he arrived. After grabbing the game console, he threw them all in. Otherwise, as long as he was pushed away, he would never touch the game console again today.  Although he was very angry after failing just now, this fighting game is definitely the most fun game he has ever played in his life.  He had never thought that a game could be so fun. Both the player character and the computer opponent were made lifelike, just like real people.  The graphics of the game are so real that he didn¡¯t feel like he was playing a game before, but a real person fighting.  When the game got intense, his whole body was filled with passion, adrenaline was secreted sharply, and he had an irresistible urge to jump into the game.  He is completely in love with this game, and it feels more enjoyable than watching a martial arts movie. ?? Martial arts movies are performed by actors on the screen. The plot has been programmed long ago, and even the victory or defeat is determined. In the end, the good guys must defeat the bad guys, and then there will be a happy ending.  But the game is completely different.  There is no script, and the outcome depends entirely on the player's operation.  Whether the character moves forward or backward, attacks or defends, punches or kicks, uses basic skills or ultimate moves are all controlled by the player. You can do whatever you want. This high degree of freedom and strong picture realism  In the game, the sense of immersion is unparalleled, as if he has transformed into a martial arts master, engaging in a life-and-death battle with the enemy on the screen.  In the game, he forgot the humiliation of being bullied by other students in reality, and vented his pent-up anger with every punch and kick.  The intense pleasure of transforming into a hero made him tremble with excitement and almost feel incontinent.  ¡°All previous games are inferior to this one, even the games launched by Taiyu Technology itself.  This is simply an epoch-making game!  ¡° He doesn¡¯t get bored with such a fun game even if he stays up all day long, how could he be willing to give it to others!  "This street boy, do you want to give in? Do you know who I am?" There was a tall, thin man with yellow hair who wanted to grab the position. His eyes widened, and he showed his arms with tattoos, trying to scare him away.  Occupy this position yourself, and by the wayHe also got rid of the two hundred game coins.  The student boy was indeed frightened by his ferocious look, but he couldn't bear to leave the game console. He just grabbed the joystick desperately and threw his whole body towards the screen, with a tragic look on his face.  "Are you going to get out or not?" Seeing that he was still hanging on, Huang Mao got angry. He stretched out his left hand to grab his hair, and made a fist with his right hand, ready to beat him.  As soon as his right fist was raised, it was held by a pair of big hands like steel pliers. He pulled hard twice, but the big hands didn't move at all.  Huang Mao turned around in surprise and found a burly staff member wearing an entertainment hall uniform. He separated from the crowded crowd and grabbed his fist with one hand behind him. He stared at him coldly and said in Mandarin: "  Are you causing trouble here?" From his words, you can tell that he is from the mainland.  "Young man from Mainland China, please show your skills. Everyone around here is owned by Big Fei. I am Da Fei's man. If you are wiser, find me a special machine and bring me some cigarettes and drinks."  Otherwise, I will call dozens of brothers over immediately and demolish your entertainment hall!" Although Huang Mao knew that the other party was strong, he was not afraid at all and instead threatened.  "It turns out you are Da Fei's Ma Zi. Since he didn't teach you the rules, I will teach you the rules on his behalf today!" The staff member who had a haircut twitched the corner of his mouth, and after speaking, he twisted it hard.  As he cried out in pain, his hands were behind his back and he was lifted in front of him.  He looked at the student boy, his expression still stiff, and nodded slightly: "Sorry, we didn't work well enough and let this little gangster disturb you. Keep playing, he won't come back!" He said, twisting back.  Holding the yellow man's hand, he carried him to the door of the game hall and kicked him out, "Get out! This time is just a warning. Next time you dare to make trouble, I will beat you until your mother can't recognize you!" "  Okay! Just wait for me. I will call dozens of brothers over right away. If I don¡¯t destroy your game arcade today¡± Huang Mao¡¯s right arm was twisted in severe pain and he was kicked under the ribs again.  Kick, I didn't expect that Dafei's sign could not scare him. He was angry and angry, and was cursing in his mouth. Without saying a word, the staff member stepped forward and kicked him in the abdomen again, and then  He grabbed his collar, lifted it up, and beat him soundly, punching hard to the flesh. The pain made him shed tears and nose, and he screamed loudly, but he didn't have the time to say harsh words.  The staff member beat him up and down, then threw him to the ground like garbage, leaving him lying on the floor like mud. Without another glance, he turned around and returned to the entertainment hall.  Huang Mao¡¯s scream was high and shrill, like killing a chicken, and could be heard clearly even in the noisy entertainment hall.  The student was still frightened and didn't know if he would be retaliated against. After thinking about it, he waved over a staff member who looked very friendly and whispered: "Brother, that yellow guy just now" "Don't worry.  He won't come. Even if he still wants to cause trouble, his boss will stop him if he knows about it. "We have seen this kind of thing many times. The experienced staff member smiled and comforted, "When it comes to clubs, our Taiyu club is the biggest.  , No matter who it is, they don¡¯t dare to cause trouble on our territory, so just play with peace of mind!¡±
