Tokyo: Starting with the Gear-Conscious Male Gods!

Chapter 42 Hello, Mad Dog Bro!

Although Masahiro Kojima appeared to be asking a question, his tone was unusually confident.

Because Mad Dog's ultimate skill is a close-range grab, if you retreat too far, you might miss the ultimate and waste it. Anyone who knows how to play this game will not retreat before using their ultimate.

Yuta Shirakawa didn't have anything to hide, so he nodded generously and said modestly, "It was a conditioned reflex, just luck."

"A conditioned reflex?"

Masahiro Kojima repeated the sentence, then suddenly smiled, a smile filled with memories and nostalgia.

"In the past," Masahiro Kojima paused for a moment before continuing, "I also pulled off a similar move by reflex."

Yuta Shirakawa was a little unsure how to respond, but he genuinely agreed with what the other person said. Although he had suffered some losses due to a lack of experience in the early stages, the pressure the other person exerted on him was truly immense.

After thinking for a moment, he still said, "Senior is very strong, I almost lost."

Masahiro Kojima smiled, shook his head, and patted Yuta Shirakawa on the shoulder, saying:

"Okay, no need to comfort me. I've lost too many times in matches, I'm used to it, I don't need any consolation."

Despite saying that, a hint of disappointment still flashed in Masahiro Kojima's eyes. In the past, when he lost a match, it was always a best-of-three series with the full lineup. This was the first time he had lost a match in a one-on-one situation against Mad Dog.

Before Shirakawa Yuta could reply, he continued, "Your reaction time is the fastest I've ever seen, bar none. Play a few more matches, and you'll become a world champion sooner or later. Don't waste your talent."

Yuta Shirakawa nodded. World champion? The competition usually takes place at the end of December. If you're free, you could consider it.

After all, he really enjoyed those two games; he loved the feeling of winning after a tough battle.

"And another thing," Masahiro Kojima suddenly changed his tone, a shrewd smile appearing on his face, and the serious feeling of a senior encouraging a young man to do his best vanished instantly.

Masahiro Kojima took a business card out of his briefcase and handed it to Yuta Shirakawa, then leaned close to him and whispered:

"Remember to call me if you're looking to rent a place. I have plenty of listings, all in good locations, and the prices are reasonable. And since we've become friends through a misunderstanding, I'll give you a 30% discount on my agency fee."

Yuta Shirakawa accepted the business card with a wry smile. What could he possibly say?

I could only silently put the business card in my pocket and decide whether to contact them to view the apartment later.

Seeing that Shirakawa Yuta had accepted the business card, Kojima Masahiro breathed a sigh of relief, then checked the time and sighed softly.

"I have to go now, I need to go back to the company."

Yuta Shirakawa nodded solemnly. Apart from that last farce, the other party was not bad.

"Take care, senior!"

Masahiro Kojima waved his hand, picked up his briefcase, and walked off the stage.

The crowd automatically parted to make way, and all eyes were on the former world champion.

Masahiro Kojima no longer appeared as spirited and composed as he was sitting in front of the game console; instead, he looked tired and somewhat forlorn.

Masako Takahashi looked at Yuta Shirakawa, who was waiting on stage for the next person to come up, and suddenly realized that he might be far more powerful than she had imagined.

She initially thought that the other person invited her to come along just to have fun, or rather, to go on a "date".

Because she was afraid her family would find out, she specifically invited Matsuzaka Rena and Hoshino Tsukizuru to join her.

Unexpectedly, the other party might really just want to participate in the competition.

After realizing this, Masako Takahashi blushed slightly.

Hoshino Tsukizuru, standing to the side, looked at Takahashi Masako, whose earlobes were turning red, and then glanced at Shirakawa Yuta on the stage, somewhat puzzled.

Seriously, sister? The other person didn't do anything, did they? Are you blushing and making tea?

Yuta Shirakawa, on stage, had no idea what the two sisters were thinking. After flexing his fingers, he looked at the others and, as if nothing had happened, shouted to the audience:

"Next."

After shouting, Shirakawa Yuta suddenly felt that his current state seemed to match a saying he had heard in his previous life:

You are the challengers when you meet me!

After he shouted, the challenger came up even faster this time than last time.

Yuta Shirakawa looked at the person who rushed up and sat down next to him, and asked with some confusion:

"That guy was stronger than the chubby kid, right? Why were you all too scared to come up when the chubby kid lost, but you came up so quickly when the other one lost?"

The guy who had just sat down, wearing a baseball cap, chuckled and said nonchalantly:

"I was just afraid of losing too quickly and embarrassing myself. Now that even the former world champion has lost, isn't it normal for me to lose to you in the end?"

Yuta Shirakawa nodded in understanding.

After selecting his hero, Hat Guy couldn't wait to say:

"Quick, Mad Dog Bro, let me see just how strong your Mad Dog really is."

Yuta Shirakawa paused, rolled his eyes, and then suddenly smiled with relief.

I was originally thinking of going easy on them and saving them some face, but now it seems I don't need to.

20 seconds!

It took a total of 20 seconds from start to finish!

The man in the hat, who had been smiling quite easily, was now unable to smile.

He stared motionlessly at the Fire Man lying on the ground on the game console screen. This was his best character, but he only managed to touch Shirakawa Yuta once from start to finish before being comboed to death.

The person opposite him was like a mad dog, rushing up and unleashing a series of inexplicable attacks, tearing at him so badly that he had no strength left to fight back.

He had expected to lose, and he hadn't even hoped to win when he came up, but he hadn't expected to lose so badly.

Fortunately, Hat Guy has a good mental fortitude. Apart from being a little stunned when he lost, he quickly recovered.

He gave Shirakawa Yuta a thumbs up: "Mad Dog Bro is indeed Mad Dog Bro, he really fights like a mad dog, super crazy!"

As Shirakawa Yuta looked at the other person, a million grass mud horses seemed to be galloping through his mind.

Damn it, I should have known better than to hold back and let them hit me that time. I should have ended the fight in 15 seconds, no, I should have ended it in 13 seconds!

Yuta Shirakawa waved his hand somewhat irritably, then shouted to the audience:

"Next, next!"

"I'll do it!"

The man who rushed forward first was wearing sunglasses.

Yuta Shirakawa didn't know why the other person was wearing sunglasses indoors; maybe it was just to show off.

He didn't understand, but he respected it, since it wouldn't affect him anyway.

Just as he was planning to end the battle quickly, just like in the previous game.

The man in sunglasses said somewhat formally, "Hello, Mad Dog Bro. I'm the coach of FQ Club. Would you be interested in joining our club and becoming a professional player? Our benefits are quite generous..."
