Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 208: New Toy Trend
"Digimon, what does this word mean?"

Seeing the logo appear on the screen, someone asked in confusion.

"Digital, it seems to be something new developed by the research institute. They say it uses mathematics to represent the elements that make up the system. That's about it."

"Why did I hear that this was the result of cooperation between the Mages Guild and the Drogo Group?"

"Who knows? Magic is incomprehensible to begin with, and now they are making it even more incomprehensible."

"What's the word after that?"

"Looking at the root, it should be borrowed from the word monster."

It has been a long time since people have been unable to understand the names of Zhuoge Group’s products.

The earliest yo-yo, before watching "Fire Teen King", who knew what "yo-yo" meant? To be honest, no one knows it even now. Everyone just assumes that yo-yo is a toy that flies on a string.

And how is Lego related to building blocks?

The building blocks are good in every way, except that they are expensive and sometimes you accidentally step on small parts with your bare feet when playing with them at home...

It's like the "torture" of life when your toes hit the corner of a table.

As the onlookers were confused, the trailer in the magic viewer showed them what the word actually meant.

"The home of Digimon——"

Along with Xiao De's youthful and powerful a cappella voice, a line of subtitles appeared on the screen.

Then the scene flashes to white, and a meadow like an oil painting appears, with colorful eggs of various patterns scattered on it.

This is the place where Digimon were born, the Founding Village.

Cracks appeared on the eggshell one after another, and the eggshell broke open, and chubby baby Digimon crawled out of the eggshell.

The heartwarming scene caused the audience to raise their voices.

"Oh, that's so cute."

"Ah, let auntie hug me!"

"Mom, I want one. Please raise one. I beg you. I will study hard." The children could hardly resist the cute attack and shook their mother's hand and begged.

"I was taking care of the chinchilla you asked for last time. That's impossible this time." Mom answered firmly.

"Because mom likes it too, that's why I take care of it." The child looked innocent.

It is common for children to buy pets on a whim, and making money from children depends on this impulse.

"You think I'm willing to take care of you? You can't even do your own things. Besides, this is an animation, there aren't real Digimon."

"What if there really is one?"

"Then let's talk."

The mother was actually a little tempted as well, as she has always loved cute things, otherwise she wouldn’t have taken care of a pet chinchilla for her child.

The beautiful scene in the trailer did not last long. In a flash, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and Devimon, who looked like a villain, appeared.

"A crisis that will destroy the world——"

Then the digital world became a scene of devastation.

The kid who was clamoring for Digimon just now covered his eyes in fear.

But curiosity left a gap between his fingers.

It is different from the situation on Earth where people destroy the world at will and anyone who does not aim to destroy the entire planet is embarrassed to be called a villain.

The villains in Feilin's literary works rarely have such a grand scale.

Generally, the upper limit is the level of destroying a country. In most cases, the disaster only revolves around a city or even a small town.

The slogan of "destroy the world" here shocked many people present, and such a heavy topic does not seem to be a theme that will be used in animation, a form of expression that is mainly aimed at family fun.

But they will get used to it in the future. The so-called destruction of the world is not a big deal. It's all about stacking boxes. The creators can set it up however they want.

The pace of the trailer suddenly speeds up here.

"The chosen child—"

The protagonists appear in a difficult situation.

"Courage, friendship, honesty..."

"The source of power, the evolution of miracles—"

In the scene where the children are confronting Devimon, the power disparity seems to be very large.

In an almost desperate moment, courage takes precedence and Agumon evolves.

Under the audience's tense gaze, Agumon changed his form in the light, becoming a safe-looking Tyrannosaurus, and fought fiercely with the enemy.

At this time, the band accompaniment version of "butterfly" sounded, and amid the exciting music, there were quick cuts of various Digimon battle scenes.

The grand scene and the battle that was completely different from the impression of animation made the entire toy store quiet in an instant.

The same scene is currently happening in all Drogo Toys stores in major cities.

After the 6-minute trailer ended, no one reacted.

Until the screen says "Digimon Adventure, June 6, Entertainment Channel, stay tuned!"

After more than ten seconds, someone asked, "Is this a trailer for an animation?"

In everyone's impression, only productions of the level of "The Phantom Flame" would be equipped with trailers for promotion. After all, if you want to watch "The Phantom Flame", you have to actually buy a ticket.

There are rarely any previews for the content on the Magic Viewer, and at most there will be notices in newspapers.

Even the top-tier animation show Tom and Jerry was released directly without a trailer.

Of course, there is no way to preview Tom and Jerry, as each episode is so short. If we cut a trailer, all the exciting parts would be revealed.

“Will we be able to see the contents of the trailer then?”

"Of course it can. It's called a preview."

"I'm definitely going to follow this anime. The Digimon in the later episodes are so cool. I thought there were only small pets that hatched from eggs."

They didn't realize that this was actually a fake trailer arranged by Drogo, just to facilitate the display of Digimon, and almost no specific plot was revealed.

Even the battle content was disrupted, for example, the sample footage of Greymon fighting Garurumon was also cut in.

"What is that entertainment channel?"

"Don't you know? The forum has been discussing for several days that Magic Vision will add a new channel."

"What do you mean?"

"It's the knob on your Magic Viewer. It's useless now. If you turn it later, it will switch to another channel. Both channels will have programs playing at the same time. You can watch whichever one you want."

"What if I want to see them all?"

"Uh, I haven't really thought about that. How about you buy another magic viewer?"

While people were discussing, a golem Agumon appeared on the street outside the store.

"But what does this cartoon have to do with toys? Isn't this a trailer released by the toy store?" someone wondered.

"They will definitely release toys together with the animation. That's easy to imagine, just like selling yo-yos and constructions."

"What kind of toy is it?"

"Most likely it's just a Digimon statue, with a transformation function at most, like Bakugan, which can transform into an evolved form."

"It should be pretty cool. I'll definitely buy it when it comes out."

"Forget it. I already have enough statues of all kinds at home. I don't have anywhere else to put them."

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the store.

"Roar--"

It's the same cry as the one made by Tyrannosaurus in the previous trailer.

"Look outside!" someone discovered it first.

I saw a toy store employee holding a Tyrannosaurus Rex model from the animation, standing behind the Agumon Golem.

"Ha, I would have called it a statue, but it's just a little bigger." said the person just now.

"But why is the clerk standing there?"

"Of course it's to show how to transform. You can't just let such a big statue transform itself."

However, before he finished speaking, the clerk held up the Tyrannosaurus Rex and shouted with full conviction.

"Agumon, evolve!"

A strong BGM sounded, and Agumon really did as shown in the animation just now, emitting light and spinning in circles, and grew into a Tyrannosaurus Rex that was nearly two stories tall.

Everyone was confused for a moment, not knowing whether this was a toy display or a warlock summoning some devil from hell.

Some people were even frightened and called for help, "Guards! Guards, come quickly! There is a warlock here who can open the gates of hell!"

There was no guard corps arriving, only Tyrannosaurus Rex roaring majestically towards the sky.

The mother hugged her frightened child tightly, while the timid ones squatted on the spot with their heads in their hands and began to pray.

At this time, the clerk introduced slowly: "The new Agumon pet golem has a wealth of interactive functions, making it a perfect companion for playtime, and it also has a powerful evolution mechanism..."

"I'm sorry Qianqian, I really need an Agumon right now."

"Didn't you say you had no room for the statue?"

"Is this a statue? This is my good friend who fights alongside me!"

The clerk continued to introduce: "New products are on the market. The original price is 998 gold coins. With the promotion, it only costs 968 gold coins. There is also a special gift, an exclusive Digimon machine.

"Buy now and you can receive a special digital egg and a large amount of development resources when the animation is shown."

After hearing the price, the man who just felt sorry for the money immediately lost his excitement and said angrily: "Actually, my house really doesn't have that much space now. Look how high it is..."

The friend next to him ruthlessly added, "My suggestion is that you move to a house with a few floors up."

No one except someone like Craig could afford a toy of this price.

When did the Drogo Group start to give up on these ordinary players?

Many people are quite dissatisfied with this offer, and think it is a betrayal. In the past, no matter what kind of toys the Drogo Group had, there were styles that everyone could afford. There is still a big difference between the low-end version and having nothing at all.

"In addition, every player can become a chosen child, purchase a Digimon machine, and raise your own Digimon. Lucky players will have a chance to win a Golem in a lottery."

After the clerk finished his final introduction, he was still a little nervous. The atmosphere almost became quiet just now, and the players were about to start making a noise.

What a mistake. I should have introduced the Tyrannosaurus Rex first.

Another benefit of Drogo's Toy Store is that all new toys are available for trial.

When players get the well-made Tyrannosaurus Rex in their hands, they are deeply attracted by the metal texture.

When the machine was turned on, a strange Digimon appeared on the screen. The picture was very vivid, as if it lived inside this small machine.

Opening the illustrated guide, it was Bizmon.

The smallest Digimon, it is very curious and has a strong desire to communicate with the outside world. Its large, bright red eyes are full of charm and can sometimes sway the other party's feelings.

It is a baby Digimon that everyone loves. When it encounters a battle, it spits bubbles from its mouth, blinding the enemy's eyes and then runs away.

Oh, it’s still a baby, so cute.

I believe it can also evolve into a Digimon as powerful as Greymon.

How to evolve?
Players can try out the various functions of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, feed it, train it, and even play with it.

He was amused by the silly and cute look of Bizmon when it rolled over. After a day's work, he really needed something like this to soothe his tired soul.

He had wanted to have a cat or a dog before, but he felt that he might not be able to take care of it. After all, he was very tired at work, and he couldn't keep the pet there all the time.

There are many stray animals in the city, which are abandoned by people who bought them impulsively but then found they could not take care of them.

Many poor little animals simply do not have the ability to survive independently, and at the same time they cause trouble to people in the city, causing noise, feces, and may even harm children.

One person's fault caused tragedy for two parties.

He despised such behavior.

However, this Tyrannosaurus Rex machine does not seem to have such shortcomings at all. It can also provide rich emotional value in just a small machine.

You can even take it to work.

He had a bold idea.

Bizmon was locked in a small cage in a machine, and he was just locked in a large cage in the factory.

It makes no difference.

Maybe Bizmon would be happier without so many thoughts.

He interacted with it over and over again, feeling such pure joy in a long time.

It was so pure that he even wanted to cry.

After a long period of repeated interaction, a prompt popped up on the screen.

"Bizmon's favor towards you has increased!"

Then a pink progress bar appeared, and the progress continued to the full bar, and the number behind it changed from 1 to 2.

Still able to see the good feeling!
He couldn't help but be reminded of his girlfriend, with whom he had been "dating" for two years, who was still very affectionate in the morning, but suddenly said in the evening that they were not suitable and they should break up.

He tried to redeem himself, but to no avail.

Feeling lonely, he believed this inappropriate statement for a while, but the next day he saw his ex-girlfriend and his senior walking together arm in arm.

The senior student lives in a multi-story villa in the city.

There's nothing inappropriate about it. It was admitted as the first choice.

My favorability towards him has never increased.

Looking at the image on the screen, those big eyes seemed to really shake his emotions.

His vision was a little blurry. Good thing, Bizmon wouldn't lie to him.

He can't live without it anymore.

Sorry Qianqian, he really, really needs a Digimon right now.

"how much is this?"

"During the promotion period, it only costs 68 copper coins."

It's only two weeks' salary, I can afford it.

"I want this, and nothing else."

Usually, trial products are not sold directly. If customers want to buy them, they will get brand new, unopened goods from the warehouse.

However, if the customer strongly requests it, all rules will be based on customer satisfaction.

"Okay, please wait a moment. I will remove the chain from the demo machine and repack the accessories for you."

While waiting for the packaging, he calmed down.

If you like it, you must give it the best, so you must evolve Bizmon to its strongest form.

"Do you have any guides for Digimon evolution?" he asked the clerk.

"There is no shortcut to development," the clerk replied with a smile, "but there are some tips. If you buy other games in the red and white machine, you can get the opportunity to challenge exclusive enemies, and you can get development materials by defeating them.

"If you can't win, you can buy combat enhancement potions. One bottle only costs one copper coin..."

Serious players don’t know yet how deep a pit they have fallen into, a pit of consumer trap.
