Rob Pardo is a fourteen-year-old high school student. Since he first played "American Cubes" in an arcade hall near the high school where he went to school more than a month ago, he has been deeply attracted by this simple game, and even fascinated by the fact that he couldn't eat or drink.

His skills are very good. Since the news that it is said that he can change the game to his own name as long as it reaches 45 million points, Robert Pardo has been practicing tirelessly every day, but he is still a little bit short of this feat, with the best result being over 40 million points.

He was the one with the highest score in the arcade hall he often went to. Although he was not satisfied with his progress, he was still a little proud.

After school this time, Robert Pardo still came to the arcade hall he often went to. Because it was because he was often there, the boss was also familiar with him. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said hello and threw him a game coin directly.

"I'll give you what I'll give you. Today I will work harder and strive to reach 45 million!"

Robert Pardo also smiled embarrassedly. He broke through to more than 43 million points for the first time last night. He had a good chance to reach 45 million points to see if the rumors were true, but because of a mistake, all his previous efforts were wasted.

At that time, the owner of the store was also standing beside him and constantly encouraging him. He still clearly remembers that when he failed, it seemed that the boss was even more disappointed than him.

When he threw the game coins into the machine from the coin port, familiar game music sounded in his ears. He watched the pages that he had seen countless times flash by in front of his eyes. Robert Pardo, who had been a little impatient, started the game.

The level at the beginning was too simple for him, and it was not difficult to operate with one hand. The boss in his thirties also came to him and watched him play games.

"Rob, do you know that the producer of "American Cubes" participated in an interview program?" The arcade shop owner saw that the difficulty of Rob Pardo did not require full attention at all, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

"Well, I heard that Jester seems to have been racially discriminated against. Recently, this incident has been hyped up, and there is something about Naked-Ben's bet or something." Rob Pardo, a fan of "American Cube", is naturally very concerned about this news. He not only knows that the company that makes this game is called Mars Entertainment, but the producer is called Jester Lee.

Even before, Jester advertised in TV newspapers and issued a call for people in the United States who still have aspirations for the electronic game industry to come to California to join his company, work the best games together, and revitalize the glory of the already dying electronic game industry.

Rob Pardo was very excited at the time. He loved games very much, and he also made an adventure game based on DND rules on Apple II. Several of his friends also had a lot of fun.

So he wrote a letter of self-introduction, attached his work and sent it to the address of Mars Entertainment.

However, after the passion, he felt a little regretful. How could a letter written by a high school student who was only fourteen years old be valued? But what he didn't expect was that he actually received a reply from Jester Lee, the producer of "American Cubes". In this letter, he learned that Jester was actually just a college student who was just nineteen years old.

In the letter, Jester first encouraged it, surprised that he could make such a great game at such a young age, and then said that he was still young and if he could still be interested in electronic games after he graduated from college, and the industry had not completely disappeared at that time, and Mars Entertainment was still active, he was welcome to work in Mars Entertainment.

Rob Pardo, who received the reply at that time, read the contents of the letter dozens of times but was not satisfied. According to his mother, he had never seen him so devoutly even to the Bible.

Then, the flattered Robert Pardo became a fan of Jester without hesitation, and he was also a loyal fan.

"The interview program he participated in is called "Chicago Morning". ABC will be broadcast on his own TV network tonight. I heard that he answered a lot of games on the show." The owner of the arcade hall said with some interest.

"To be broadcast in the evening?" Rob Pardo flexibly controlled a four-linked block to fall vertically with his hands, and said while eliminating the four rows of blocks at once. He knew that this was the interview program that Jester participated in, but he was still a little surprised when he heard the news that the owner of the arcade hall said. The name of this program should not be broadcast in the evening no matter what.

"I don't know this either, but I heard that this show is about to be revised recently and will be broadcast until prime time. This time, this time the show has become popular due to racial discrimination, so it may have moved to prime time for the ratings tonight." Now, the owner of this arcade store is not very clear, so he can only guess and say his own inference.

Rob Pardo has been thinking about the show tonight. When he thinks that he can see his idol on TV in his own eyes, he can't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

However, it may be because of not being focused enough. This time, Robert Pardo made a mistake when he scored less than 37 million points, which led to the failure of the game. The owner of the arcade shop who was watching him play the game was also a little regretful.

He also wanted Robert Pardo to confirm the rumor that he could change his name in 45 million yuan, and then let him leave his name on a machine here so that his arcade hall would become famous, and whether he came to see their first machine with his name written on it or challenge him to change his name, it would definitely attract a large number of new customers.

Because he was thinking about going home to watch his idol's show at night, after the game ended, Rob Pardo did not continue playing, but went home directly.

After dinner, Rob Pardo chose the channel and stayed in front of the TV without moving his eyes.

He is looking forward to the airing of "Chicago Morning".

This also made his mother very surprised. Why did his child today be different from usual? Not only did he come back much earlier than before, but he also became interested in the TV shows that he had never looked down on.

Finally, when it was almost eight o'clock, the ABC's full-network "Chicago Morning" finally began.

The first time I saw Jester's image, he was as young as he thought, and he seemed to be a tall and strong nineteen-year-old boy.

Rob Pardo couldn't help but feel a little excited. He clenched his fists tightly, looked at his idol, looking forward to what questions the host on the show could ask.

The previous chat first used some guiding questions to give the audience some preliminary understanding of Jester, such as his age, his education, etc.

When Jester said in person that his company was developing a home game console, Rob Pardo jumped happily first. Since he became obsessed with "American Cube", he dreamed that he could play this incredible game at home. Then he thought about the outcome of the Atari game consoles in the mall now, and he couldn't help but feel worried about his idol.

Then when Jester said that he would not drop out of school, he smiled and jokingly mocked many people for his revitalization of the electronic game industry. The electronic game was not dead yet, saying that he was extremely arrogant, and many people even cursed him for failing immediately.

Describe how to apply for a job and write a resume if you fail, and answer the reply from Oprah’s one who is an extraordinary person…

Seeing this, Rob Pardo couldn't help laughing at Jester's humor.

At this time, his mother happened to pass by the living room and saw her son who was always serious. This time she could watch TV and laughed. She thought it was a drama program, so she glanced at the TV with some confusion. To her expectations, it seemed that the TV program was not a comedy TV, but a talk show.

"Can talk show be so good?" The curious Robert Paldo's mother also sat next to her son and started watching it with him.

Then, she couldn't help but be attracted by the show.

Next is the ** of this episode.

First of all, the video tape that triggered the conflict appeared. When Robert Pardo saw the grand occasion of the trial party in the video tape, saw Mars Entertainment, and three new games released by Jest Lee, he even blushed with excitement, and kept waving his arms slightly to vent his emotions.

He really wanted to play those three new games too much.

He is a die-hard fan of Jester. He believes that everything in the video tape is true because he has seen the first arcade hall in their place where he bought "American Cubes". What was the scene that day? It was exactly the same as the one filmed in the video tape. People kept playing this game again and again, and it seemed that they couldn't play enough no matter how many times they played.

It was the time he queued up for most of the day before he could play "American Cubes". In the eyes of Robert Pardo at that time, this was the best game in the world. Atari's things that were long ago should be outdated were simply not as good as garbage in front of this game.

It is natural to fill it into the desert.

Although he also played Atari's epoch-making "Defender" and also shouted that this was the best game in the world.

You know, Rob Pardo was a fan of Atari before. He believed the advertisements on Christmas and bought the "ET", which was destined to be recorded in history.

Afterwards, the audience questioned the authenticity of the video tape, and were excited and scolded the liar. Finally, the yellow-skinned monkey named Henry Stuart pushed the whole incident to **.

Just after Henry Stuart shouted the yellow monkey, he quickly cut a close-up shot to Jester.

Rob Pardo can clearly see through the edited program. After hearing the yellow-skinned monkey with loud voices, Jester's face suddenly became gloomy. He looked at Henry Stuart coldly, but in a very short time the expression on Jester's face returned to normal.

There was even a hint of what Rob Pardo looked very strange, like a smile that was not smiling.

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Jester said to Henry Stuart on the show.

Finally, Jester announced the content of the bet. He will hold a player trial party in Chicago at the end of July to see if his game is popular and whether the video tape is fake. If he loses, the front door of the trial party is deserted. He took off his clothes and ran around the Chicago Art Gallery for three laps. If he wins, then...

Rob Pardo didn't pay much attention to these contents. He didn't even think that his idol would lose, and there was no need to worry. He only paid attention to one of the new game trials in Chicago at the end of the month!

After hearing Jester say this, his eyes immediately showed a ray of desire.

The time for advertising was after the show. Originally, Rob Pardo wanted to go back to the room directly, but after he glanced at the advertisement, he could no longer move his eyes.

The advertisement is the tour trial party planned by Jester. It will select twenty major cities in different regions of the United States, which lasted for half a year. In this tour trial, information about several "cross-era" games will be continuously announced. If possible, a trial version will even be launched for players to experience.

Seeing this news, Robert Paldo felt a sense of passion in his heart that was constantly stimulating. This passion was constantly stimulating him. I must participate in this trial!

Must go!

Then he turned his head and saw his mother who was sitting beside him at some point.

My mother is better than my mother. When her mother saw Robert Pardo's appearance, she immediately guessed what he thought. His mother just smiled and didn't say whether it was OK or not, but said lightly: "This show is good."

Rob Pardo, who knew his mother best, heard his mother's words and waved his arms involuntarily excitedly. At the same time, a smile appeared on his face in an instant.

He knew that his mother agreed.

the next day.

The program broadcast on ABC's entire network yesterday caused a big sensation. After all, it was just rumored that Jester, who was in the limelight recently, has been racially discriminated against, but yesterday's program really played the scene of him being racially discriminated against.

Racial discrimination in the United States is at least prohibited on the surface. In other words, it can only be done, not said.

As soon as the show was broadcast, it immediately aroused protests from yellow groups, especially Chinese groups, and even black groups that were usually discriminated against by the most racial groups, and they all shared their support. Almost overnight, Henry Stuart, who was just a small TV drama director, immediately became a celebrity in the United States, but the kind that was notorious.

For such rats crossing the street, no matter whether they are hypocritical or honest, they will not miss the opportunity to put down the wrongdoing.

Although he held a press conference the day after the incident and apologized for the previous incident.

But the problem is that the unscrupulous media will not miss the opportunity to talk about such a hot topic and start criticizing him one after another.

Of course, it also pushed Jester's fame even further.

Moreover, although the previous video tape was real, it was really too fake. Many people who had never seen the grand occasion caused by "American Cubes" were extremely suspicious of this. In the eyes of these people, although Henry Stuart's racial discrimination was very inappropriate, Jester's fraud and deception were also very immoral.

Therefore, some media, especially those investment institutions who mocked Jester in a joking tone in an interview, said that the electronic game industry was completely over and was about to withdraw from the historical state.

So, the counterattack of these people came the next day.

The Wall Street Journal took the lead in publishing an article, pushing the fraud incident of Mars entertainment videotapes to the peak of public opinion.
