Hiss~ This time travel happened a bit too early.

Chapter 41 Hiss~ This time travel happened a bit too early.

Ethan was unaware of the discussion that took place two thousand miles away.

Because at this very moment, he was enjoying a wonderful life in San Francisco.

Today, since I have some free time, I'm going to rent a boat at Fisherman's Wharf and go fishing at sea.

Tomorrow, when I have some free time, I'll sneak off to Twin Peaks to see what the Spanish immigrants called "Indian girl's **".

The day after tomorrow, when I had nothing to do, I simply closed Frank's shop, bought two tickets to Honolulu, and went whale watching right away.

Only after this inhuman scoundrel cried and said he couldn't afford the rent if he didn't open the shop did Ethan reluctantly fly back to San Francisco.

After landing, he received a pleasant surprise.

Although Nolan Bushnell blatantly revealed his shameless capitalist nature during the negotiations.

But when it comes to fulfilling contracts, he is extremely efficient and decisive.

The payment was supposed to be made within two weeks, but less than a week later, on June 15th, when Ethan Jones went to Wells Fargo to check his account, he discovered that $190,000 had been added to his name.

Ethan was very pleased with this sensible behavior.

At the same time, he was even happier with the huge sum of money in his hands.

Every day is spent either eating, drinking, and having fun, or on the way to eat, drink, and have fun.

As for why they don't do their proper work?

It's very simple~

Because there's no rush.

Although the global gaming market is large and can withstand the impact of multiple games in a short period of time, the act of competing against oneself seems rather brainless.

He just finished "Snake Game" in May, and now it's mid-June, and he's already designing a new game?

Players might accept it, but the businesses won't!

Ethan bought a gaming motherboard and arcade game console that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars a few months ago, and he already wants the retailers to phase them out?

Even when harvesting leeks, this is not how you should harvest them!

Therefore, let Snake Game have some time to develop. Once it officially conquers America and foreign companies come to discuss cooperation, that will be the best time to release a new game.

Only when that time comes will he consider what kind of game to make, whether to make it himself or find someone to publish it.

Aside from games, the second thing Ethan could call a serious business was the truly untapped market of personal computers.

Even if Ethan wanted to make this, he'd have to wait until his technical prowess, Evelyn Jensen, came back to make it.

That guy is on some kind of graduation trip; he won't be back until July.

Therefore, during these few weeks of downtime, Ethan, who had no powerful connections to rely on, was forced to balance work and rest.

Just as Ethan was pondering what kind of fun he should find for himself in the next few weeks, Frank, who had just returned from dinner with friends that evening, approached him excitedly and said, "Hey bro, are you free tomorrow night? How about we go see a movie together?"

"Huh?"

Ethan blinked at the question, then asked curiously, "Frank, you asked me to a movie, and at night?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Mr. Fober looked puzzled.

"This is a huge problem!" Ethan exclaimed. "Brother, we're both men! And this is San Francisco!"

"After you've put these two scenarios into perspective, think about whether there were any problems with what you just said?"

"..."

Mr. F. B. paused for a moment, then instantly realized something was wrong. "Oh my god! Something seems off!"

But the next second, he added, "But that's not important, because I didn't ask you to watch a romance movie."

"I heard Universal released a fantastic disaster movie; it received a really good response when it premiered in Los Angeles!"

"It officially premieres tomorrow, the 20th. How about we go together after I close the shop tomorrow night?"

At the same time, he patted his chest and said, "It's on me!"

To be honest, Ethan wasn't interested in the disaster movies Frank was talking about.

The reason is simply that he, living in the 21st century, has already read countless classics.

He experienced the dinosaur era sparked by "Jurassic Park", witnessed the love story of the century that took place in "Titanic", savored the world-changing visual feast of "Avatar", and even played with the masterpiece of the film industry's assembly line, "The Avengers".

So, when CGI technology had not yet emerged and the field of special effects in the film industry was still a blank slate, what was so interesting about the disaster movies that were popular in that era?

In terms of disaster, can it compare to Titanic?

impossible!

"I won't look."

Thinking of this, Ethan waved his hand and said, "I might be interested if you invited me to an MJ concert, but a movie? A disaster movie? And late at night? Oh my god, don't you think every single word you're saying is a disaster?"

"MJ? You mean Michael Jackson from the Jackson Brothers? Wow~ I didn't expect you to like his songs?" Frank was quite surprised. "Are his songs good? I don't really appreciate them."

Ethan declined to comment on Mr. Forberle's assessment.

After all, MJ wasn't truly a superstar yet at this stage of his career. His latest album was still "Forever, Michael," and it would be several years before the phenomenal hit "Terror" was released.

Other time travelers might have found this timing awkward, but Ethan thought it was perfect.

Will I be able to witness the rise of a superstar in person?

Wow~ There's nothing cooler than this~

However, despite Ethan's initial refusal, he still went to the movie theater with Frank the following evening.

The reason was simple: when he went out to buy something to eat that morning, he saw a huge poster displayed at the entrance of the movie theater.

It was a dark blue poster with a picture of a great white shark, its jaws wide open, trying to burst out of the water.

Above the sea surface is a red title: JAWS.

When Ethan Jones saw the poster, he was completely stunned.

It was only then that he realized that the disaster movie Mr. Foberle was talking about was actually "Jaws".

In the future, will the world-renowned director Steven Spielberg become famous even later than him?

Holy crap! He transmigrated pretty early on!

The release of "Jaws" spurred Ethan, who found movies boring, to go to the theater.

He admitted that he had not seen the film that was the first in world film history to gross over 100 million dollars.

But when he arrived at the movie theater, he regretted it.

It's not that the movie is bad, it's that Frank is too cowardly.

He just stood there screaming as soon as the shark appeared!

Those who knew him understood he was watching a movie, but those who didn't might have thought he'd been shot!

Especially when the movie shows the great white shark emerging from the sea, its gaping jaws wide open, aimed at the camera...

The extreme horror of the pre-special effects era made Frank grab Ethan's arm in fear.

The sudden appearance of the iron claws nearly made Ethan faint from the pain.

"You're so scared? Then why the hell do you watch horror movies?!" Ethan said angrily.

"That's why I asked you to come to the movies with me!" Frank said matter-of-factly. "If I wasn't scared, wouldn't I have just asked a pretty girl to go?"

'???'

Ethan sensed the ambiguity in the words.

"You invited me to a movie, not just to prepare me mentally, right? So you know the plot before you go out and meet other pretty girls?"

Ethan's face was full of doubt.

"It wasn't me! Don't talk nonsense! I don't know!"

Frank shook his head like a helicopter, almost as if he were about to ascend to heaven.

"..."

This reaction made Ethan roll his eyes.

Because he always felt that he had been tricked by Frank again.

The next day, Frank didn't even put on an act.

Early in the morning, he asked Ethan to watch the shop for him all day, then changed into a flashy floral shirt, slicked his hair back, and went out to meet his sister.

Watching that dashing departing figure, Ethan just wanted to kick it!

What kind of people are these? Moving house!
