I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 960

"They're here! They're here!
His royal highnesses are here!"
(^0^)
Everyone excited cheered as they watched the entourage of cars drive towards the venue.
Some even had tears in their eyes, jumping and hugging one another, as if they had just survived some disaster.
Little Momo and Linda looked at these people through the window and nodded, in satisfaction, feeling like heroes.
After all, without them, their brother Landon might not have even made it on time.
Vrrrrrrrmmmmmm!
The cars drove amidst the crowd until they reached the building ahead.
The doors opened, and the royals and all others in the vehicles exited merrily.
Forget about the people being excited. Do you know how excited they were?
Some government officials were already standing by the red ribbon, alongside the investors and Director of the newly built Arcade center.
"Welcome, your majesty."
"Welcome, your highnesses!"
"Welcome!"
Those by the ribbons shook the hands of Landon, Lucy, Lucia and the other royals with big warm smiles on their faces.
Who wouldn't be happy on such a glorious day?
The greetings were brief and short, less the audience does from anxiety.
Following that, the director, a few officials, Landon, Mother Kim and Javis (Lucia's brother), all stood alongside the long red ribbon with giant scissors in their hands.
The news reporters captured the scene as best as possible, with their minds still thinking of the perfect front page for the event later on.
Looking at the scene, everyone's heart drummed loudly as a wave of bright emotions flooded their minds.
Well, at first, it was all bright and sunny, but soon, they felt like stunning the speaker ahead.
F***!
Who the hell hired this guy?
.
"Today is another historical day in Baymard.
We, as people, have come a long way.

We... Blah, blah, blah...."
Everyone felt like they were about to go crazy.
They rolled their hearts and even got tempted to take off their shoes and smack the guy in the face.
Was this really the time for this?
"Boooo!
Cut the ribbon!"
"No one cares. Just cut the ribbon already!"
(:T^T:)
The speaker felt like crying.
No wonder none of the other newly appointed managers wanted to take this job.
If even the director didn't want to take it, why did he volunteer?
He now understood why everyone avoided doing this task.
The audience was going crazy, but was it really his fault?
He was just doing his job and reading the paper they gave him, alright?
Seeing his superiors beside him avoid his pitiful gaze as if they didn't see anything, he couldn't help but think of them as shameless.
It all made sense to him now
Fortunately, his speech would soon be over.
Landon and everyone else who was familiar with such a scene chuckled.
Hello? This was Baymard they were talking about.
So it was indeed expected.
Soon, it was time for the actual ribbon-cutting ceremony to begin.
The audience finally clapped merrily as they watched Landon, Javis and the rest hold their scissors against the ribbon.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
~Clip~~
The ribbon was cut down, causing a wave of excitement from the audience.
Hahahahhahaha.
Now, nothing could get in their way anymore.
"The arcade Center is now open for all!"
~Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap~~~
"Yes! Finally, we can get in."
"As expected, the heavens truly reward the patient. I feel like crying."
"Let's go! Let's go! It's time to witness the magic!"
.
As if being fed some magical chicken broth, Little Momo, Linda and their friends stormed in like the Flash, while Landon and the rest calmly walked behind them.

The sight before them made them freeze in shock.
Their hands trembled as they scanned the unique and awe-striking appearance of the place.
F***!
It was big and beautiful.
It made them feel like tiny ants running around a room.
Why? Because just after passing through the front desk lobby area, one would then head into the most enormous room they had ever seen.
There were no walls in the place, making everything feel overly large.
And, even though it was filled with games, due to the unique arrangements, the place still felt very spacious.
Actually, one could say that the place was the size of a massive casino.
That's right.
They made that thing.
But rather than gambling, the place was filled with all sorts of games
There were thousands and thousands lined up, making little Momi and the rest confused on where to begin.
What should they do?
Decisions, decisions.
The boys scratched their heads in confusion.
Could this be what their sisters and lady friends always felt like whenever they went through their closet or when shopping?
At first, they never fully understood what went into their minds.
But now, they felt like they did.
Looking at the Paradise of games around them, they felt weak and helpless.
What should they do?
.
When it came to pinball games, there were so many themed ones there..like those based on the Indiana Jones movie they watched, Cinderella, Power Rangers, Game of Thrones, The Adams family, Jurassic Park and so on.
But that wasn't all.
Apart from those based on shows and movies, others were based on popular novels that they read, like the latest Batman, GhostBusters, Lord of the rings, etc.
In fact, there were so many pinball machines.
Another famous game was Pachinko.
The pachinko machines here were the old ones used during world war II, before they got computerized.
But that was just one of the many types of games here.
There were also claw-grabbing games, where they could fetch rises from glass boxes.
Again, there were many Pac-Man machines there too.
In short, there were so many games to choose from, leaving everyone weak.
Their eyes darted back and forth as they started at the massive space filled with thousands and thousands of machines.
Which one should they choose first?
And more importantly, would it be possible for them to play all these games today?
Sigh... Why was life so hard?

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
