Chapter 69 : Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A
After some communication, Lin Lixin was surprised to find that his previous perception of Steve seemed to be somewhat inaccurate.
He really was a player who harbored a deep love for video games.
Many of the small easter eggs he had hidden in the details could be brought up and talked about at length by Steve, and many of the points he made even surprised Lin Lixin.
"Mhm, so that is what I was thinking, impressive."
Even Sam softened his attitude after Steve demonstrated his professionalism.
Ĕňu mӑ
Sam himself was a passionate gaming enthusiast, so he could naturally tell that Steve was absolutely a player who had played his fair share of games.
One could not speak so thoroughly just by relying on hearsay and watching others play.

Noticing that Lin Lixin's attitude toward him had genuinely improved a lot, Steve visibly relaxed a bit.
"Long live understanding."
"It is nothing, just tough love. If a game company I liked served up a pile of crap, I would curse at them too."
Lin Lixin laughed heartily, then changed the subject, looking Steve in the eye.

"But Mr. Steve, I am afraid you have another reason for coming here this time, right?"
"Yes... to tell you the truth."
Steve simply nodded and admitted it. Since they had already cleared the air, there was no need to hide it.
"Mr. Lin, I hope to publish a one-on-one interview with you in the next issue of ElectronicGames."

ElectronicGames was a comprehensive gaming magazine, and each issue contained three fixed sections.
New game reviews, hardware evaluations, and developer interviews.
Ӗn̆umа̊ . ĩ d̃
Due to the recent erroneous evaluation of Harvest Moon, ElectronicGames was currently being verbally attacked by angry mobs all day long, which had already affected their normal operations.
For a professional gaming media outlet, a damaged reputation was a very terrifying thing.
It could be said that this time Steve had truly suffered a severe blow and damaged his foundation.
But he could only admit that he deserved it.
And the only solution he could think of was to seek reconciliation with GAMENOVA and invite the producer for an interview to reverse the public opinion.
"Of course."

Lin Lixin agreed on the spot with almost no hesitation.
After all, GAMENOVA and ElectronicGames had never been in a hostile relationship.
On the contrary, Steve was a very worthwhile connection to win over.
If he could pull ElectronicGames onto GAMENOVA's warship, that would naturally be a beautiful thing.
Even if they could not achieve a true binding of interests, forming a good relationship would only be beneficial and not harmful.

The interview was scheduled for the following afternoon at the GAMENOVA arcade.
The modest-sized storefront had undergone several renovations by Sam and was now packaged as a famous avant-garde store in the surrounding area.

Coupled with the extremely resounding signboard of GAMENOVA, even though their arcade machines had already been sold all over the country, there were still long lines inside the store all day long.
Aside from the players who truly lived nearby, more people came with a mentality of making a pilgrimage.
Even if few had the fate to meet the legendary Lin Lixin, they often had the chance to see Sam, the creator of the early GAMENOVA arcade machines.
Although it was an interview, it was not a television program after all, just print media. This time, ElectronicGames only sent Steve to conduct the interview, along with a recorder and a photographer to take pictures of the scene.

"FucK! That person couldn't be..."
"It is him, Lin Lixin! The boss!"
When the group appeared at the entrance of the store, many people had already recognized the identity of the young face surrounded in the middle.
The creator of multiple legendary masterpieces, the big boss of the newborn gaming empire GAMENOVA.

It was just a pity that he obviously did not come here to hold a fan meeting for them.
Soon, an area inside the store was partitioned off, and tables and chairs were set up.
Ё n ūm а.iḋ.
Lin Lixin and Steve sat on opposite sides.
"So... shall we begin?"
Receiving Lin Lixin's affirmation, Steve took out his prepared list of questions and began the interview.
"Mr. Lin, we previously published an article in our program about the easter eggs in The Legend of Zelda.
Having the honor of inviting you to talk this time, I wonder if there are any more easter eggs that have not yet been discovered by players that you could reveal?"
The depth of The Legend of Zelda's design was astonishing.

The deeper one explored it, the more one would discover details that could not be noticed when one's understanding was still shallow.
Hearing the content of the interview, the players watching from the sidelines were secretly surprised.
So it was ElectronicGames? They actually got together with GAMENOVA?
And why did the person responsible for interviewing Lin Lixin, despite having deliberately put on makeup, still faintly show a black eye, as if he had been ruthlessly punched by someone?
"Ah, I read that issue. It talked about the cheat code to directly unlock the Hidden World."
One of them was clearly a fan of such gaming magazines and immediately ran to the magazine rack on the side to dig out a copy.
Ӗ n̆u m̀ а .і ḋ_
"Yes, this issue talked about it. If you enter the protagonist's name as ZELDA, you can directly unlock the Hidden World."
This very secretive little easter egg was coincidentally discovered by Steve during his trial playthrough.

After all, as someone who did game reviews, there were simply too many games to play every day. Steve did not have the mind to name characters one by one, so he simply used the original name from the official settings, not expecting to have an unexpected harvest.
"Easter eggs? Let me think..."
Lin Lixin raised an eyebrow. This was actually a very interesting topic.
"If we are talking about my favorite easter egg, it would definitely be Contra."
Ӗǹǔ m̆ а
"Contra? It is actually that one?"
Steve was slightly taken aback. He originally thought he would get an answer related to more next-generation masterpieces like Wolfenstein or Street Fighter.
He did not expect it to be Contra, which GAMENOVA had already released in its early days.
The biggest feature of this game was its exhilarating combat and its thematic design that perfectly fit the main melody of the entertainment circle.

Coupled with the strong addition of Schwarzenegger, it created an immortal classic of a generation.
But when it came to depth...
Е n üma.і̀ d́
Steve blinked. To put it bluntly, this game really did not have much that could be discussed in depth.
It was just purely fun.
Lin Lixin laughed heartily.
Game cheat codes had always been a topic relished in the gaming community.
Leaving aside highly famous cheat codes of later generations like Who's your daddy and panzer, even in the ancient 8-bit era, there were equally various and fancy designs.
And the most famous one in later generations was naturally that classic incantation from Contra.

This cheat code became a famous meme in later generations, widely popular, and became a memory symbol unique to this era.
Even the famous minotaur card Enemy Controller in Yu-Gi-Oh! had a dialogue design related to this easter egg.
Looking at Steve's confused expression waiting for an explanation, Lin Lixin slowly opened his mouth and spat out a sentence that sounded inexplicable:
"Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B A, oh right, this is exclusive to the home console version."
Hearing this, the players in the store all turned their gazes to a trial area by the wall where two NovaBoxes were stacked.
The two people currently playing the trial version obviously also realized there was something going on here and hurriedly swapped in the Contra cartridge.

As they entered that sequence of commands in order.
The character's lives suddenly increased from 3 to 30.

"What??"
Seeing the shocked crowd, Lin Lixin felt amused.
He had also prepared a super big surprise for Contra.
The fact that it still had not been discovered by anyone was really making him itch with anticipation.
