People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

Chapter 126 The Dark Horse
"Senior, leave this to me, you go and get it."

Higashino Hirosawa said quickly, stepping forward to take Abe Gao's position.

When Hirozawa Higashino came back, there were only more than 20 copies of the game left, and Gao Abe hurriedly left from the exhibitor passage and rushed to the underground parking lot.

He actually came here in a minivan, thinking that if more than 300 copies of the game might be sold today, the back seat of the car was empty and empty, so he brought two more boxes, that is, 200 copies.

Unexpectedly, it was actually used.

Fortunately, it was brought here, otherwise he would definitely not be able to sleep when he goes back today.

A game disc with a plastic box is not thin, and 100 games are not heavy, but the box is not small.

Abe Gao could only carry one box back at a time.

"Everyone, wait a moment, the game is still there, and you can get it back soon!"

When Abe Kokang came back with a box, the remaining 20 copies had already been sold out, and there was a long queue in front of the booth.

Hirosawa Higashino was maintaining order outside the booth, and Aida-senpai yelled at the queue inside the booth.

"I'm coming!"

Those who were still in line were refreshed when they saw Abe Gao come back carrying a big box.

Higashino Hirosawa returned to the booth to help sell, otherwise it would be collecting money and drawing prizes, and Aida-senpai would not be able to do it alone.

"There's one more box, I'll go over there one more time."

Abe Gao said out of breath.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Higashino Hirosawa said with a little embarrassment that the hard work of this manga exhibition is basically covered by Senior Abe.

"Not at all!"

Abe Taka smiled, waved his hand, and ran back to the parking lot energetically.

By the time he brought back the last box, most of the hundred copies of the previous box had been sold.

In front of the booth, there are still people queuing.

"That's too many people."

Abe Taka drank the water and said in disbelief.

From half an hour ago, the number of tourists who came to buy games suddenly increased.

Abe Takaha had long expected that the word-of-mouth of the game would be fermented, and the game might sell well, but the current popularity is still far beyond his imagination.

"It should be recommended by a more prestigious person on the A&C forum."

Hirosawa Higashino guessed.

A&C Forum, short for Anime and Comic Forum, or AC Forum for short, is the animation and comic exchange forum with the largest number of registrations in Japan in this world.

On the AC forum, there will be special forums for popular animation and comics, and there are also comprehensive forums that do not limit topics.

The four comics serialized by Hirozawa Higashino have recently started to have some discussions on the forum, and they have been listed on the recommendation list of some people.

And every year, when it comes to the comic exhibition, the traffic of the comic exhibition section on the AC forum will skyrocket, and many people will go to the forum, read other people's recommendations, and choose some good things they like to buy.

The recommendation of ordinary people is that it is impossible to get too many people to buy the game in a short period of time.

Only those old people who are well-known and well-known on the forum can greatly increase the traffic of booth customers.

Of course, the quality of the game itself is the most important thing. Otherwise, no matter how well-known people recommend games that are not good at first glance, visitors to the exhibition will not foolishly come to spend money.

However, Hiroze Higashino knew that there would not be so many people buying games at once just because of forum recommendations.

In the final analysis, one person's recommendation strength is actually limited, and in a short period of time, it will not bring a lot of customer traffic.

There are so many people in front of the booth, many reasons are due to the queuing effect.

At the comic convention, there will be a queue, which means that the stalls may sell good things.

Especially Hirozawa Higashino's location is very remote, there are no other booths queuing up around them, just their booth.

The result is that the originally bad location becomes very conspicuous due to the queuing effect, and even people from far away will come to have a look curiously.

Some will watch the demo, and some will go to the forum to check and understand under the explanation of others, which has led to a substantial increase in the number of people who buy the game.

At the booth, there was an endless stream of people who came to buy the game, and the [-] copies of the game that were replenished afterwards were all sold out in less than an hour.

"Sorry, today's copies are all sold out, please come back tomorrow!"

Gao Abe could only bow and apologize to the tourists who still wanted to buy.

"It's gone? Is this game really that good?"

"Forget it, let's go to another stall to have a look."

These tourists heard the words, didn't struggle with anything, and dispersed one after another.

"Sold 500 copies on the first day, it feels like a dream!"

After the customers dispersed and a sign "売り切れた (sold out)" was placed on the booth, Abe Gao said in disbelief.

"Mr. Higashino, you said that 500 copies tomorrow is not enough?"

After thinking about it, Abe Gao couldn't help but asked again.

"definitely."

Higashino Hirozawa nodded.

In the end, he saw the reactions of the departing customers. They were not very eager to buy games.

It can be seen that the word-of-mouth of the game has not really fermented.

But after tonight, things will definitely be different.

Therefore, the remaining 500 copies tomorrow will definitely not be enough to sell.

"Oh, if I knew it earlier, I would have made more."

Abe Gao said regretfully.

After the game is made, it is very easy to copy it again, but there are not many of them, and the factory has to schedule ahead of time, and now it is impossible to temporarily replenish the stock.

"Don't be greedy, who said before that there are too many to sell?"

Aida-senpai gave Abe Taka a white look.

"Haha, yes, it's pretty good if 1000 copies are sold out."

Abe Taka laughed.

"Takao Abe's wish request has been fulfilled! 』

"Get 10 wish points! 』

"Get 1 rare wish chests! 』

When Gao Abe said this, his wish entrustment was finally fulfilled.

This C-level wish entrustment was on Higashino Hirosawa's entrustment list, but it had been on the list for a long time.

Not to mention the effort before and after, the time alone took more than a month.

If it were now, Hirosawa Higashino might not have accepted such a time-consuming commission.

But more than a month ago, this wish entrustment was relatively easy to complete.

Had it not been for the ability to share vision later on, it would not have been easy for Hirozawa Higashino to go to those office areas early to complete a wish commission.

"Higashi-kun, do you want to go back with me in my car?"

After packing up the things on the booth, Abe Gao and Aida-senpai had been tired for such a day, and had no intention of staying any longer.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble, senior."

It was past four o'clock, and when we returned to Adachi District, it was almost the time for the kindergarten to leave the kindergarten. Higashino Hirosawa didn't want to squeeze the tram with a large group of people, so he nodded and said.

Back in the van, Senior Abe drove the car, Aida-senpai sat in the co-pilot, Higashino Hirosawa sat in the back, picked up Aida-senpai's computer, and went to the AC forum.

In the comic exhibition section, he quickly found a post recommending "White Album II".

The post was sent by an ID named "Gam".

Hirosawa Higashino glanced at it. This Gam is quite famous in the AC forum. It is called G University in the forum. Every year at the fan comic exhibition, he will recommend some high-quality fan games or fan books.

At about 1:40 in the afternoon, Gam posted a post recommending "White Album II" on the forum.

"The comic exhibition just opened this morning, and a friend recommended an original galgame, saying that it might be the biggest dark horse of this comic exhibition. Of course I don't accept it. Any game is a big dark horse, so is it still called a dark horse?"

"So I went to the booth to take a look. I didn't know if I didn't look at it. I felt that my friend might not be lying. After a little trial at the scene, I immediately bought a coffee nearby. I sat in the store and started playing with my laptop."

"Originally, I just planned to try it out for half an hour, so I would do a simple evaluation first. I didn't expect that it took more than three hours to play the game, and I just cleared the game!"

"Normal games will take more time. In order to save time, I didn't read the plot carefully. It's a state of quick clearance."

"Let's start with the conclusion: This game called "White Album" is definitely one of the biggest dark horses in this comic exhibition! Specific evaluation, Lihui S, script A, music A, no dubbing! However, as a fan game, even if Having dubbing is also blunt and good reading, it’s better to make it up by yourself, so without dubbing, although it doesn’t add points, it’s not a disadvantage.”

"Recommendation level: strongly recommended!"

In the post, Gam then posted a large number of screenshots of the "White Album II" game, and also uploaded the game's theme song and several BGMs.

In the game program made by Abe Gao, the game music is not encrypted, and the theme song and BGM can be easily found in the music folder.

"Wow! A 3A masterpiece recommended by G University, this is really rare!"

"Doujin game has such a high rating? Big G, you're not collecting money, are you?"

"S-level Lihui? Is it true or not?"

"This Lihui is really amazing, which artist's handwriting?"

"Let me see, the script and artist are Maruto Fumiaki, the music is Higashino Hirosawa, and the game producer is Abe Taka? They are all names I have never heard of."

"This evaluation is higher than those games released by big manufacturers!"

"Are both heroines? They look great, no wonder G University gave S-level Lihui!"

"I listened to the music, it's really good, it's a bit of a waste to put it in the fan exhibition!"

"Recommended by G, the quality is guaranteed, this heroine is very appetizing to me, I will buy a copy and come back to try!"

Gam's evaluation is too high. Before he uploaded the screenshots and music of the game, there were not a few people who questioned it.

But with the game drawing and screenshots, as well as the upload of music, there are almost no voices of doubt.

What appeared instead was a reply post intending to purchase.

And with the increase in the number of buyers, the number of people who praised the post gradually increased.

There hasn't been much discussion yet, other than Gam's recommended post, though.

Most of the tourists participating in the exhibition will not leave to play the game after buying the game, but will continue to play and shop at the venue.

In addition to "White Album II", there are a large number of other excellent works recommended on the forum.

These recommendations, no doubt, weaken the recommendation effect of Gam posts.

But the situation is far better than Hirozawa Higashino expected.

A base of 500 copies of the game has been sold. If there is no accident, the number of posts discussing "White Album II" in the forum will increase dramatically tomorrow!
