Chapter 141 : The Dog Luck is Too Good
[Seems like today is a lucky day! Obtained a "Golden Week Card"]
"Aha! This is exactly what I wanted! Kondo, it seems heaven wants you dead."
The Golden Week Card can designate a certain prefecture to enter Golden Week, and the tolls collected will be doubled.
But this wasn't over yet. As Player 4, after Kojima finished his turn, a new round would begin.
Every round, there was a possibility of triggering a random economic condition change.

[The seafood industry is booming right now!]
"Masaka (No way)! Kojima's assets are all…"

Located in Hokkaido, Kojima naturally didn't let go of this bunch of coastal plots, almost completely covering them with seafood-related industries.
This change could be said to be exactly what he wanted.
And Kondo's face was about to turn green.
In just one short round, he went from an undisputed championship candidate to being in a perilous situation.

One careless step, and his entire fortune could be directly hollowed out.
"What terrible luck, I was definitely going to win if I just held on a bit longer."
He slowly took the controller, covered his eyes as if accepting his fate, and threw the dice.
Before he could even look at the screen through the gaps between his fingers, he heard the exclamations of the three people beside him.

"Holy crap, what dog luck, you can survive this?"
Only then did Kondo open his eyes and look over.

On the road ahead, stopping on almost any tile would cost him his life.
But he just happened to roll a 5, stopping on the only low-priced yakitori stall among a slew of high-priced industries.
Although his assets were directly deducted by a large chunk, he finally managed to survive another round.
Kondo finally saw it clearly.
This game couldn't be relaxed until the very last moment. As long as he was still alive, there was definitely still a chance for a comeback.
And this persistence ultimately didn't betray him.

Just at the beginning of the next round, Kondo was successfully favored by the Goddess of Luck, possessed by the God of Fortune, allowing him to get a discount when paying various fees, and he also received an extra sum of cash.
Although the number of this grant actually only drew the lowest starting with 1 from 1 to 9, which was truly a bit of a loss, it was given for free after all, so why not take it.
How long can a game of Monopoly be played?
*Momotaro Dentetsu* gave its own answer.
Three hours!
In the end, Kojima narrowly lost to Kondo by a margin of ten million.

"What a pity, it's just that my luck wasn't very good at the beginning, otherwise I would have definitely won this game."
"This dog Kondo's luck is still good. I thought he was done for that round, I didn't expect he could actually forcibly save it."

"That God of Fortune was too crucial, otherwise my Asset Exchange Card at the end could have directly given him a fatal blow."
"I thought I could definitely win by monopolizing the Tokaido Shinkansen to collect tolls, just one move short."
It was very magical.
For a game like Monopoly, the Matthew effect is almost unavoidable.

As the assets of the strong continuously increase, the advantage they can occupy in the game will also grow larger and larger.
And vice versa.
The existence of this situation causes Monopoly, or all derivative works of Monopoly, to have an obvious curve in the game's pacing.
When the amount of assets reaches a certain threshold, the game's pacing will suddenly accelerate, allowing the strong to quickly gather all assets and achieve final victory.

In other words, when a player begins to show a disadvantage in the process, it is destined that the subsequent gaming experience will not be too good.
But in *Momotaro Dentetsu*, this absolute truth was actually broken!

Even though he lost, he didn't have that expected strong sense of frustration and humiliation.
Kojima sat in front of the TV, looking at the three people still reviewing the situation just now, and fell into deep thought.
He keenly sensed that there seemed to be something fishy going on here.
"Kondo being suddenly thrown to Hokkaido… was it really just purely bad luck?"
He couldn't help but ask himself this question.
Everything that happened was simply too coincidental.

But it unexpectedly fit everyone's expectations.
Kojima and the other two wanted the always-strong Kondo to suffer a setback, and Kondo had also been somewhat apprehensive because of the previous smoothness, thinking he was about to have bad luck.
Everything that happened perfectly collided with the intuition of the four of them.
But it was exactly this perfection that made it seem somewhat bizarre.
"The design of video games is probably far more profound than I imagined…"
Kojima silently looked at the GAMENOVA logo on the cartridge box.

Piling up materials to make a masterpiece is not considered much of a skill; as long as there is capital, anyone can easily do it.
But making simple things fun, making them outstanding, that is not simple.

"Hey, Hideo."
Kondo's voice interrupted his train of thought, "I say, let's not play *DQ*. While everyone is here, let's start another round. How about whoever comes in last this time treats us to a meal!"
"I agree!"
"Come on, come on, I was just feeling like I underperformed a bit just now."

Kojima looked at the three enthusiastic people and helplessly pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"You three brothers play first, I have some things to take care of."
Game Freak Corporation.
"Uh… Mr. Kojima, our Game Freak doesn't do game development, that's the work of the GAMENOVA main business division."

Satoshi Tajiri held the resume Kojima submitted, somewhat speechless.
This kind of situation was actually not uncommon.

Since GAMENOVA officially entered the Japanese market, there were quite a few developers who came to submit resumes.
Although he would carefully organize the materials and transmit them to the headquarters every time, and President Lin had never had any objections to this.
But it was very annoying!
Resumes from all sorts of people flooded in like snowflakes, and after he filtered them, there weren't many valuable ones left.
And the ones finally picked out were also destined to sink into the sea.
To be honest, he even had the thought of directly driving this young man away.

Even an economics major came, isn't this purely here to cause trouble?
"Sir, this is an AVG game project proposal I designed, I call it *Snatcher*."
"Uh… really keeping up with current events, quite sci-fi."
Satoshi Tajiri briefly flipped through two pages. This should be an adventure game with a cyberpunk theme.
Just from the setting proposal, it was truly hard to see anything.
"Hmm… I will send it to President Lin together, but whether there will be a reply, I don't have the final say."

"Thank you very much!"
KONAMI, MSX Game Division.

Kojima never dreamed that the position at the large enterprise Konami he had been longing for would actually be like this.
In the cramped small office, besides him, there were only a few developers.
With this kind of setup, it wasn't even as good as some stronger independent game companies.
"Friends, I still don't plan to give up on my…"

"Don't speak so loudly, newcomer."
Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted, not giving him any chance to argue.
Kojima truly experienced the workplace culture of Japan today.
He silently sat back in his seat.

Just at this time, the phone suddenly rang.
He didn't know if it would be another lecture from his superior.

"Hello, this is the Konami MSX Game Division, I am planner Kojima."
"Kondo? Why are you calling me?... Go back immediately right now? Are you kidding me, didn't I say I'm at work?"
"...Who??"
"Mr. Satoshi Tajiri? Went to my house to find me?? Are you drunk??"
Listening to the excited, babbling voice on the other end of the phone, Kojima simply didn't know how to respond.
Until that familiar voice sounded.

"Mr. Kojima, it's me, Satoshi Tajiri. May I ask if you have a US visa? Mr. Lin wants to see you."
