Chapter 950: Cyberpunk Food Street!

In the afternoon, Zhang Yahui, Bao Xu, and Liang Qingfan finished their inspection for the site of the snack market and returned to Sloth Apartments’ office.

“Therefore, after some consideration, this agricultural market is still more suitable.”

“What do you think of this place?” Liang Qingfan looked at the two of them.

Bao Xu and Zhang Yahui nodded. “Yes, we don’t have any objections either. We’ll set it here.”

The farmers’ market was even more deserted than they had imagined. Small merchants selling various products were setting up stalls here. Everything was piled up everywhere. The environment could be described as dirty and messy.

What’s more, whether it was the vendors or customers in the farmers’ market, they were mainly middle-aged and old people. Basically, they were old residents who had lived in the vicinity for decades and came here to buy vegetables every day.

However, as the old industrial zone declined, young people in Jingzhou no longer lived here. Thus, the number of people in the agricultural market decreased.

The vendors could not make money, and many of them had moved to other places. Thus, the situation here was getting worse.

Zhang Yahui and the other two met the boss of the market when they went to inspect the market. They wanted to buy the entire market and then reform it.

Of course, these vendors would not be chased away. Instead, they would find a place nearby to settle down. After the entire market was renovated, they would return them to the stalls. The rent of the stalls would not change.

Zhang Yahui said, “The key now is how to plan the entire snack market and what style should be used.”

Liang Qingfan thought for a moment. “Actually, there are many styles that can be designed. The traditional snack street style in China or even some foreign styles.”

“However, once a style has been confirmed, everything related must be unified. It definitely cannot be changed. You must be careful when choosing.”

The three of them fell into a short silence.

Just as Liang Qingfan had said, any style could be made. The key was what style would be more popular.

Bao Xu suddenly had an idea. “Eh, I suddenly thought of a good style.”

“Do you still remember the movie ‘Tomorrow is Beautiful’ that Boss Pei made previously? There was a scene in it that was the style of Cyberpunk.”

“I think that style is not bad.”

“On one hand, it can be combined with Tomorrow is Beautiful so that everyone can see the scenes in the movie in Jingzhou. On the other hand, the Cyberpunk style is sufficiently innovative. It also fits the spiritual core of the snack market.”

Liang Qingfan’s eyes lit up. “Eh? That makes sense!”

Zhang Yahui, on the other hand, was a little confused. “Er… which scene was it? I’ve seen the movie but there were too many scenes inside. I don’t have any impression.”

Liang Qingfan immediately found Tomorrow is Beautiful on Aili Island’s website. Then, he quickly entered the scene where the male and female protagonists were dating in the outside world.

There were four different architectural styles in Tomorrow is Beautiful. The capsule space (cramped, narrow, technological, but severely homogenized), the slums of the outside world (Cyberpunk style, many small shops, and scenes of debauchery), the core area of the outside world (spacious, atmospheric, and generally sci-fi architectural style), and the residential area of the upper class (classical mansions).

However, most of the scenes at that time were shot with setting and green screen. There were no real scenes.

If he could use the snack market to build the scene in the movie, it would definitely be a good gimmick.

What’s more, Cyberpunk’s theme was’ a combination of low-end life and high-level technology’. It usually contained a certain degree of collapse in the social structure of highly-developed technology.

There were many Chinese elements in the theme of Cyberpunk. One of the most outstanding characteristics was the various Chinese characters that often appeared on the neon signs.

The reason was that places like Nine Dragon City in Harbor City had a certain impact on the authors at that time. There were few places, many people, and dense buildings. The style of new and old things existing at the same time was very compatible with the feeling of Cyberpunk. Therefore, many Cyberpunk topics had some Chinese elements.

Subsequently, many Chinese people made some original arts that combined Cyberpunk and Chinese styles out of interest. The effect was very good.

Zhang Yahui finally recalled watching the scene in the movie. “This style looks really good!”

“The key is that it can connect with the movie.”

“That way, Jingzhou would have another Tengda scenic spot. Tourists can first go to Thriller Hostel to play. After that, they can come to this food market in Cyberpunk style to enjoy delicacies from all over the country.”

Liang Qingfan said, “That’s right. Not only that, we can think of a way to modify the journey from the snack market to the Thriller Hostel!”

“The two places are not too far apart, only one or two kilometers away. If we can buy all the shops along the way or rent them for a long time, we can also modify them slightly.”

“After that, vendors who perform well in the snack market can move to these shops in the future. This way, as more and more vendors appear in the future, the entire street might become a snack street and become a place to eat, drink, and play with Thriller Hostel!”

Bao Xu said, “What’s more, I think we can add some game design ideas.”

“For example, we can divide the stalls in the market into several different tiers. There are four types of bronze, silver, gold, and diamonds. The higher the tier, the better the location and the more seats there are. If these shops can continuously be in the diamond tier for a period of time, they will be eligible to move outside.”

“The entire snack market can be evaluated regularly. A few stalls can also be randomly refreshed to become a half-price experience area or a free area. Rare stalls can be refreshed regularly to let customers experience the feeling of guarding rare NPCs.”

“What’s more, since it’s a Cyberpunk style, we have to integrate high-tech and down-to-earth feel. We can make some Cyberpunk electronic screens and other things. Ordering and queuing can also play a certain decoration role.”

Bao Xu quickly explained his thoughts.

In his opinion, this place was actually very suitable to join the interactive experience in the game. It would give tourists who came to eat snacks for the first time a novel feeling. It could improve their playing experience.

Bao Xu did his best to help Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan design so that they would not have to travel.

Zhang Yahui was very happy. “That’s great! This way, we can finalize the general practice of the entire snack market!”

“Actually, my initial idea was just to create a place to set up stalls. The two of you have really provided me with a lot of good ideas.”

Liang Qingfan smiled. “We were just following Boss Pei’s train of thought and diverting our thoughts. While Boss Pei would definitely not be able to guess the specific location and packaging, the content that we thought of should be about the same as his original idea.”

“This is Boss Pei’s art of management. He would always give a seemingly broad requirement so that his subordinates could fully utilize their subjective dynamism. The end result would indeed be the same.”

“Alright, let’s hurry up and complete the design plan for the snack market. Then, let’s get this project on track as soon as possible!”

March 21st, Wednesday…

The day after tomorrow, two official commentators and a professional player were commentating on the competition recording and practicing their cooperation.

The reason why he chose such a team was mainly to play it safe.

Of these two commentators, one was the commentator who controlled the field to ensure that the topic would not deviate; the other was the commentator for the team battle to ensure that the team battle would be more exciting. As for that professional player, he mainly conducted lineup predictions and analysis of the situation.

The division of labor between the three of them was very clear.

These professional players did not have much experience in commentating after all. To Zhao Xuming, it was risky to arrange for one commentator to lead two professional players like the Bunny Tail live-stream.

The other commentators and professional players were also training hard during this period because it would be their turn soon.

The two commentators today were the two with the most senior qualifications in the ICL league. The professional players on stage also had relatively better understanding of the game.

Zhao Xuming’s idea was to arrange all the best commentators to ensure that FV Team’s focus battle would attract enough attention. That way, it would be able to make a bang and leave the impression that the official commentators were now as professional as Bunny Tail’s live-stream commentators.

This professional player was also revising the recording of FV Team’s previous competition while resting.

He had arranged a few training competitions with FV Team when he was playing professionals, however, he was basically beaten until he could not find his bearings. He could not understand FV Team’s intentions at all.

However, he would still be able to analyze a lot of things as long as he acted after the fact.
