Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

He rejected them one by one. These games were undoubtedly excellent, but given the current size of their studio, they were not yet ready to handle them. Ideally, they would be able to showcase the games at the summer festival in a month and a half.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a game that he found very interesting flashed through his mind.

Splatoon, or rather, Splatoon 2.

This game is undoubtedly a very fun game, with high replayability and addictive gameplay.

In terms of gameplay, it is an FPS shooting game, but compared to other FPS games that require a certain level of skill from players, this game is very beginner-friendly.

Unlike other types of FPS games, 633 doesn't keep players constantly on edge to deal with various enemies that may appear.

The most impressive thing about this game is that while it makes people feel relaxed and happy, its competitive nature is not diminished in the slightest.

It has a strong sense of competition and immersion, and it is suitable for all ages.

Kenichi Uesugi remembers that when he first encountered this game, it brought him an extremely novel gaming experience.

This game is played in 4v4 teams. Players use various weapons to paint the ground of the battlefield with their team's color. The team that occupies the most colored area wins.

This novel game mechanic means that winning the game is not just about killing your opponent.

It's supposed to be a shooting game, but even if you miss, it doesn't really matter; ink spilled on the ground is just smeared. Every second you fire a shot is a contribution.

Then, this game doesn't require such high accuracy. Since it's all about splashing ink at close range, as long as the general direction is right, it's fine. Even in sniping, the accuracy requirements are more lenient than other shooting games.

Furthermore, in the lower ranks of this game, there aren't many requirements for positioning.

His own gaming experience was like two noobs pecking at each other; although who kills whom first depends on positioning, this positioning isn't something you intentionally do.

Chapter 177 Splatoon

This game involves completely random movement. Uesugi Kenichi had never seen a shooting game where you could shoot at such close range, almost touching each other's faces. Then the two of them circled around like they were performing a duet, almost as if they were holding hands and singing together.

Anyway, when Uesugi Kenichi played it, he almost burst out laughing. Every time he was face-to-face with someone, he would fight them in gunfights and still not kill them. If he really didn't want to fight, he could just grab a roller and run around the map painting walls.

The final victory is determined by the proportion of color applied to the map.

Kenichi Uesugi's eyes lit up more and more as he thought about it, feeling that it was very promising, and most importantly, the game was not particularly difficult to make.

If we work overtime, more than 30 people should be able to finish it in a little over a month, which should be enough to make it in time for this summer game expo!

If there's still time left, we could even do the work of creating and releasing Minecraft as well.

Uesugi Kenichi smiled slightly, took out another piece of white paper, and neatly wrote the words "Splatoon" on it, then wrote "Minecraft" on the second line.

It's decided! We'll use this game as our second title to make a splash in the gaming world!

He reached out and picked up the cup on the desk, intending to take a sip of water, only to find that the cup was empty.

He picked up his cup and was about to go out to get some water when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. He knew from the sound that it was Kobayashi Yoshihara and the others.

That cheeky laugh is something most people can't imitate, even if they wanted to.

Kenichi Uesugi shook his head, put the cup down, tidied up the things on the table and put them in the drawer, then left.

"Hey, Uesugi, what have you been up to lately? I haven't seen you for days. Did you go out and have some fun without telling me?" Kobayashi Yoshihara immediately approached Uesugi Kenichi with a sly grin, looking at him with a "you're not being fair" expression.

"Excuse me." Watanabe Fuuta greeted us with a smile from the doorway.

"Come in, and stay away from me." Uesugi Kenichi greeted Watanabe Futama with a smile, then glared at Kobayashi Yoshihara and pushed him aside slightly.

As soon as they sat down, Saeko Busujima poured tea for everyone and then set out snacks.

"Thank you," Kobayashi Yoshihara and Watanabe Futa said somewhat awkwardly.

Kobayashi Yoshihara was somewhat afraid of Busujima Saeko because he had witnessed her prowess during a visit to the kendo club. He feared that if he angered Busujima, she might chop his head off with a single blow. As for Watanabe Fuuta, as a member and captain of the kendo club, he was understandably a little uncomfortable to be personally invited to tea.

"By the way, Uesugi, why did you suddenly think of inviting us over for dinner today? Is there some good news?"

"It can be considered a happy occasion. I'll tell you all about it when the others arrive."

"What? It's mysterious."

After watching Saeko Busujima leave, Yoshihara Kobayashi immediately recovered. He felt quite comfortable at Kenjiro Uesugi's house, since there were no adults there.

Uesugi Kenichi glanced at Kobayashi Yoshihara without saying a word, then picked up his tea and took a sip.

"Uesugi, do you think we really have a chance to make it to Koshien?" Kobayashi Yoshihara looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a hopeful look in his eyes.

He came here not only for a meal, but also with a mission.

Coach Xiangcheng immediately agreed when he learned that he would miss club training because he was coming to Uesugi Ken's house. He even wanted to escort him there so that he could give Uesugi Ken a boost.

There's no way around it, Yamato Academy has come this far entirely thanks to Uesugi Kenichi's miraculous performance, yes, performance!

He's really treating Uesugi Kenichi like a precious gem right now, afraid of dropping him. If he suddenly decides he doesn't want to fight anymore, then he's doomed.

This is truly the most talented teenager he has encountered in all his years of playing baseball.

No pitcher has ever done what he did, handing the opponent a bald spot all by himself and naturally taking up a base!

Huge throw + big hit!

This is a genius artist whose work is so amazing that even comics wouldn't dare to be drawn like this!

Moreover, even if he doesn't win the Koshien championship this year, he is confident that he will definitely win it next year, and even a back-to-back championship might not be a problem.

Uesugi Kenichi hesitated for a moment after hearing Kobayashi's words. Although he was confident that he could suppress everyone and prevent them from scoring, if he was guaranteed a spot and the others were unable to score, then there was nothing he could do.

"...It should be fine, right? Who are our opponents in the next few rounds, and how strong are they?" he asked.

Kobayashi Yoshihara rubbed his chin with his hands in his hand. "The opponent for the next round has been decided. It's Yamado High School. They're not as strong as Tokiwa High School, but they're stronger than Takeshi Kitano, whom we played last time. As for the opponents after that, it depends on how the group advances."

"However, by the fourth round, everyone's strength is quite good."

The seeded player from the West Tokyo region, who was originally the most promising to advance this year, was eliminated in the first round. The only remaining opponent was Furin High School, who could compete with Tokiwa High School.

The other opponents are all weaker than these two. According to the current schedule, if they can win, their final opponent should undoubtedly be Fenglin High School.

Uesugi Kenji nodded. Anyway, for the people from Yamato Academy, it doesn't seem to matter much who the opponent is. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, no one (Wang Haohao) can win. He'll wear them all down!

"I will do my best."

"That's wonderful, thank you, Uesugi!" Kobayashi Yoshihara's heart immediately relaxed upon hearing Uesugi Kenichi's words.

Kenichi Uesugi originally wasn't very interested in baseball, but he was dragged into it by Uesugi. He was also worried about what to do if Kenichi Uesugi suddenly didn't want to play anymore.

Now that we finally have the chance to make it to Koshien, we'll really regret it for the rest of our lives if we miss it.

"It's alright, it was my own decision to fight." Uesugi Kenichi waved his hand. At first, he did have the idea of ​​just going through the motions, but considering what he could gain, the time investment was quite worthwhile.

As everyone was chatting, Kato Megumi arrived with Akane Akasaka. Before Uesugi Ken could even greet them, the others gradually arrived as well.

Chapter 178 Explode, You Real-Life People!

"Where have you been these past two days? You didn't come to school today either." Kato Megumi gently held Uesugi Kenichi's hand, her voice filled with concern. After carefully checking that Uesugi Kenichi was not injured anywhere, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She knew very well that Uesugi Kenichi was not as harmless as he seemed on the surface; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat more than a dozen people single-handedly without them having any temper.

"I went out to take care of some things these past two days, I'm sorry to have worried you." Uesugi Kenichi gently apologized, patting Kato Megumi's hair.

"That scumbag is really something! He doesn't know how to be considerate of girls at all. Doesn't he know how worried we are? At least he should have told us what he was going to do! Humph!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Uesugi Kenichi out of the corner of her eye. She had been genuinely worried these past two days. He had even specifically told her not to stay at home for the next two days, but to go somewhere else to stay for a couple of days. There must be some danger involved.

Eriri also snorted coldly and ignored him.

To this, Uesugi Kenichi could only smile apologetically and keep apologizing to them.

"Looks like you've incurred the wrath of the girls, boss. How about it, do you need my help?" Akane Akasaka licked her red lips and said gloatingly.

Uesugi Kenichi glared at him, saying, "Not only do you not help, but you're also making sarcastic remarks to me."

"It seems that having multiple wives isn't so easy after all," Kobayashi Yoshihara remarked with a sigh, watching the scene unfold.

Tetsuya Ishida gave Yoshihara Kobayashi a strange look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"So you think this is something an ordinary person could do?" Hideki Sato said without looking up from his manga.

"Even though Uesugi looks like he's in a bit of pain, I'm still so envious, damn it!"

Watanabe Fuuta and Ishida Tetsuya's lips twitched upon hearing this; they really had no self-awareness whatsoever.

After finally managing to appease them, Uesugi Kenichi breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded, and a warm and soft body nestled into his arms. Her jade-white hands tightly embraced his neck, as if she was afraid that if she loosened her grip even slightly, the person in her arms would disappear.

Mashiro took a deep breath, and after smelling the scent that made her feel safe, a deep sense of peace appeared on her face.

She slightly raised her head and looked at Uesugi Kenichi with eyes full of grievance.

"You're not allowed to leave me with other people anymore. I only want you to take care of me."

Rarely, Uesugi Kenichi read a very clear emotion in Mashiro's eyes.

"Okay, I won't do it again."

"Don't lie to me?"

"Don't lie."

"Kenichi is the best." Mashiro snuggled against him like a kitten, completely ignoring the dumbfounded looks on Kobayashi Yoshihara's and the others' faces.

To be honest, Kobayashi Yoshihara felt so envious that he almost lost his mind. Another stunningly beautiful girl had fallen into Uesugi Kenichi's arms.

"Explode, you social butterfly!" Sato Hideki said expressionlessly to Uesugi Kenichi, extending five fingers.

"What are you doing?" Kobayashi Yoshihara asked, puzzled.

"To help you express your innermost feelings."

"..."

Once everyone had arrived, Uesugi Kenichi led Keiko and the others out of the room.

"I invited everyone here for dinner today because there's something I need to tell you all," Uesugi Kenichi said with a smile, pointing to Keiko and the others who were sitting upright.

“These three are my younger brother and sister, Keiko, Kanna, and Souta,” he introduced them, then said to Keiko and the others, “These are my brother’s friends, say hello to them.”

Keiko and the others greeted everyone politely with upright postures, especially Sōta. Although he was the youngest, his manners were impeccable. He didn't want others to think that Uesugi's younger brother was ill-mannered.

"Wow, Qianyi, are you playing some kind of magic trick? How come you suddenly have three younger brothers and sisters? You only have one sister."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was surprised when she saw Keiko and the others. She had heard Uesugi Kenichi talk about his family situation and knew that he only had one younger sister besides himself. How come there were three more of them all at once?

Could it be that what Qianyi has been busy with these past few days is related to them?

Kato Megumi glanced at Uesugi Kenichi with a curious look before sitting down next to Keiko and the others and starting to talk to them.
