Chapter 1173 - GameBoys!

Ian looked around him in shock.

The Apocalypse?

"Hurry! Hurry! We're going to be late!"

"Dammit! I forgot my tent hat! With how crazy everyone has been waiting for this day, who knows if we will have to stay in line way into the afternoon? I need my tent hat and sunscreen for it!"

"No way! How come so many people are running around now?"

"F***! I thought I would be one of the only people out this early. But just look at the crowd?"

"No! No! I have to get there fast before all these people. If we get there later than them, who knows if by the time we want to get our Gameboys, they would then be sold out?"

"Ahhh!!!... Don't jinx it! If I don't get my Gameboy today, I'll just die!"

"Me too! No matter what, I have to get that Gamegirl today!"

(*^*)

....

In sheer determination, countless people stormed out of their homes in flocks while dashing towards the bus stops like crazy.

Some also entered their vehicles and drove off swiftly.

It was as if the end of the world was coming, as people raced and drove in all directions, trying to take the shortest cut or the regions with less traffic.

Of course, amongst the craziness were still some who were off to work instead.

However, it was easy to differentiate those who were off to work from the crazy crowd that kept yelling their thoughts and dashing away as if their lives depended on it.

Panic instantly filled Ian as he hastily rushed to his car parked outside his complex.

'Come on! Come on! Seat belt! Start! Start!'

Ian shaking placed his car in the ignition key and quickly awoke his baby.

~Vrrrmmmmmm!

And soon, he was off!

Ian gripped his freewheel hard and leaned forward, fully focused on maneuvering about the city.

Son of b**ch!

Who the hell just cut him off?

Ian couldn't help grumbling as some bastard brutally popped out of nowhere and cut him off along the hectic roads.

Dammit! The traffic was about to pick up even more. And this was what he hated!

No! No!... He must get to the marketed stores on time!

.

That's right!

For this launch day, there were specific stores selling both Gameboys and Gamegirls.

So with that information, Ian's mind quickly went to work.

'Think, Ian. Think!

With this traffic, most people should be rushing towards the closest locations from the residential regions. So the furthest one might be the safest bet! And even if people reasoned this thought process out too, it's only past 6 now. So they might not only get there later on in the day, or even after I do. 31 Wesley street. 31 Wesley street! That's where I need to go!'

With that, Ian broke off on the next lane and made his way through countless other streets and roads until he finally got to his location.

And as expected, there was already a ridiculously long line of tents out there.

Yes! Some people had slept outside the entire night.

It was already summer, and coupled with the boiling summer days and estimated weather report, no one thought that rain would fall.

Hehehehehehhehe!

One could also see their vehicles nearby too.

Typically, when it was almost opening time, 1 or 2 persons in their group would place all items back in the cars.

When people camped out, they typically did so in groups.

Of course, there were still loners amongst those who camped.

Ian looked at the crowd and hastily got out of his vehicle while thanking his lucky stars for his quick thinking.

It wasn't just him, as several others had also arrived at the scene as well.

However, one could easily tell that the majority of people lined outside were those that spent the night here.

Meaning the majority of the crazy crowd hadn't even bothered showing up here too... It's inevitable that once they see that the lining in other places was too great, some would come here instead.

But that had nothing to do with Ian.

And for sure, he brought a few snacks there too.

Only after celebrating his position in line, oddly, he finally sat on the ground with the catalogue magazine for the soon-to-be arriving goods in Baymard.

.

~Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip.

Flipping the pages, he spotted the latest vacuum cleaner, pots, portable electric burners, new solar kettle... And so many new items around.

Finally, he opened the entertainment section, flipped through the Arcade games out before reaching the pages for the Gameboys and Gamegirls.

Instantly, Ian's mind bubbled with excitement as his hands started the pages like a lovestruck boy.

And the person who just came behind him also glanced over and looked at the page possessively.

Like so, the duo began bonding as the hours flew by in a blink of an eye.

8:50 A.M... The doors were opened, and workers came out to make a few adjustments to the scene, but no one was allowed to step in yet.

8:55 A.M... Everyone had long placed their tents and items away, and we're now ready for the war.

At the same time, those in line stayed firmly rooted behind the person ahead.

Everyone looked left and right vigilantly, because from experience, within these last few minutes, there were always line-cutters sneaking in when one turned their heads around for even a split second.

Some people have perfected the art of line cutting, so much so that one would think they were ?ssassins.

Everyone squinted their eyes like cowboys, and their hands were ready to block any trespassers.

~Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

The minutes and seconds went by, one after the other until it was finally 9 A.M.
