Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 265 I'm getting better, my family

Whether there is activity or not is the key to controlling Internet traffic.

Robert Stone, apparently very alive.

Although his invention seemed useless at first glance, it was indeed useless upon closer thought. He didn't have enough strength in his hands, and yet he insisted on competing with the dwarves in brain-bouncing. I couldn't imagine how many people could do it.

However, the desire for pleasure is a need that any creature with a little intelligence has.

The Dwarf Punisher is not a good product, but it is definitely a good video idea.

"We are in urgent need of outstanding talents like you!" Drogo repeated.

"Oh, I knew you had the foresight to see the great potential in my invention. Otherwise, why would you be so extraordinary as the boss?"

While Old Robert was praising Drogo, he also did not forget to tease his own daughter.

"I don't know who it is, but she acted as if I couldn't show off this thing. I asked her to bring it over to see, but she was unwilling to do so. I had to beg her to tell you to learn from your boss. If you don't use your brain when you're an assistant, you'll be an assistant for the rest of your life..."

"But, you, me, that thing, how come, why?"

Elsa, who was talking incoherently, suddenly had a very absurd idea.

Drogo wouldn't praise his father's invention just to embarrass her.

It feels very much like something Drogo would do.

However, Drogo was not interested in what happened between the father and daughter. What he needed to know now was whether old Robert made this thing because his brain circuit was so unique or he suddenly got the inspiration.

If it is the former, then it is an innate network holy body. If it is the latter, then there is no way to produce content for an account in a stable manner.

So Drogo asked old Robert, "Do you have any other excellent designs similar to this dwarf punishment device?"

When Robert heard Drogo ask this, he immediately became motivated.

"Of course there is!"

The excited tone is as if a fan of a niche circle has finally met a like-minded confidant.

He took out a few drawings from his bag, spread them on the ground and began to introduce them.

The design drawings on paper look very well-designed, proving that he did not do it randomly and that his basic skills and technical abilities are up to standard.

"This is called an orc cleaning machine. It's not for the green orcs. It's for the hairy orcs that look more like wild beasts."

The drawing shows a two-meter-high cylinder with several rollers equipped with brushes.

"There was a leopard man in the pub I often went to. He would accidentally drink alcohol and spill it on his fur, which was very difficult to clean. His fur was long, so he couldn't even wash it properly by himself. So I invented this. You just need to lock yourself in, turn on the machine, and then the tube below will start to suck in the soapy water prepared in advance. When it is full of water, the drum will automatically rotate to ensure that it is washed thoroughly."

"Wow!" Drogo couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful design. Your leopard friend must really need this."

Automatic washing machine!
And this one can really get people stuck in it!

"Wouldn't the leopard man drown in this case? The hairy one is not a fishman!" Elsa asked.

"Haha, such a simple question, of course I have thought about it, look what this is." Robert pointed to a thin tube on the drawing.

"This is?"

"It's the straw!" Robert proudly announced the answer, "As long as you hold the straw in your mouth while washing, you won't drown."

"Wow, you've thought of this so carefully." Drogo couldn't help but applaud.

"And this one. I think this one will definitely be the most popular in the market." Old Robert unfolded another drawing.

"The homework pen is designed to help children do their homework seriously. Nowadays, children are always careless when doing their homework. They find everything interesting or have random thoughts in their minds and never start writing. This invention was created to solve the dilemma faced by many parents."

"Oh? Then how is it solved? It looks just like an ordinary pen." Drogo made the right comment, giving it full emotional value.

How to be a good listener? Just repeat what the other person said and then ask the question.

He often used this trick when Fulynn talked to Drogo about cosmetics.

"Well, it's certainly not an ordinary pen. I added an electric shock rune on it. As long as the pen doesn't move for a long time, or detects that your hand is not on it, it will produce an electric shock." Old Robert smiled kindly.

"What if the child endures the electric shock and throws away the pen?" Zhuo Ge pointed out the pain point of the product.

"Of course I have considered this. I have tested many electric runes on my hands and found that when the electric shock is strong enough, people who are shocked will not let go, but will hold on tighter."

I tested a lot of electric runes myself.

Drogo was a little moved. What a fearless spirit of devoting oneself to one's cause.

"I think there is still a little bit of insufficiency. What if the child uses actions such as repeatedly drawing circles, drawing lines back and forth, or dotting to deceive the test?"

Old Robert understood immediately, "Yes, there is indeed a loophole. You are really awesome, boss. I should add runes to detect fixed tracks."

"exactly."

After saying this, the man and the dragon laughed as if they were in cahoots with each other.

Elsa felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. Fortunately, this thing was not invented when she was a child, otherwise she couldn't imagine what kind of childhood she would have spent.

This is clearly a torture device!

"Not bad, not bad. They are all very good." After listening to Old Robert's introduction of other designs, Drogo was convinced that he was cut out for this job. The work he could produce easily reached a level that ordinary people could not achieve even if they racked their brains.

“These designs of yours are all worth doing.”

"That's great. When will we start mass production? The sooner we start selling it, the sooner we can make money."

"No, no, no, what we want to do is not mass production, but to shoot a video of the production process of your design."

"Ah?" Old Robert obviously didn't expect Drogo to say that.

Drogo looked serious and said, "These inventions of yours do not have the potential for commercialization for the time being, but I see your excellent creativity and entertainment spirit in them. There will be many people who are willing to watch you make these things and listen to your stories behind them."

Old Robert was a little embarrassed. "But, but I didn't design these things for entertainment."

"I know," Drogo continued, "many things don't have to achieve their design purpose, they can also shine in other fields, just like many people who graduate from school and work in jobs other than the majors they studied."

Seeing that Old Robert was in a low mood, Zhuo Ge repeatedly emphasized: "Your invention is not without value, it is very valuable, but it is not in terms of application. Do you do these things to make money or for a sense of accomplishment?"

Old Robert thought about it and answered hesitantly: "Is it for a sense of accomplishment?"

He wasn't really sure what he was doing.

There is definitely no shortage of money. Starting about three years ago, the family, which was originally tight on finances, suddenly no longer had any shortage of money.

And gradually, he discovered that the Stone family seemed to be considered wealthy, even though the money was not earned by him.

The reason for making these weird gadgets may be just to find something to do and make the dull and boring life in old age more interesting.

"I haven't thought about it that much." Old Robert said very sincerely.

"That's great, go ahead. I'll provide you with a video shooting team. They can be responsible for recording, editing, post-production, and uploading if you trust the Drogo Group."

Drogo never rejects teamwork. On the contrary, he believes that teamwork to create excellent works is something to be proud of, and the contributions of team members should also be known.

He just couldn't understand why many internet celebrities, who clearly had teams, acted as if saying they had teams was a death sentence for them.

"I……"

Although it was not quite what he expected, Old Robert felt that the original purpose had been achieved, and shooting videos and making things was also a way to find something to do.

And he had no reason not to trust the Drogo Group.

It was too late to distrust him, as the other three in the family were already on Drogo's boat.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"It's a wise choice. I believe you will soon feel a sense of accomplishment in the video field, and money will follow soon." Under Drogo's promotion, YouTube finally shifted from a somewhat serious and professional platform to an entertainment platform.

Soon advertising, membership and other functions were added.

Although there are still many shortcomings so far, such as the push function is a bit "stupid", there is no mature big data recommendation system, and it can only rely on the video tags to push. As a result, as long as you watch a certain type of video, the homepage will start to push content with the same tag.

Moreover, the barrage function that Drogo had been dreaming of was never implemented in the end.

The common language barrage is too long, and even a small message cannot fit on one screen.

But as a second best option, Drogo added a sidebar when the video is not played in full screen, which scrolls the content posted by the audience during the corresponding period.

Scrolling content can be divided into lines so that at least the entire content can be read at a glance.

But overall, YouTube is now in good shape and has ended its trial operation phase and is officially launched.

After registration was opened, it quickly attracted tens of thousands of users.

It didn't sound like much, but Drogo was satisfied.

After all, there are only tens of thousands of home consoles in use today. In other words, almost every consumer who owns a console has registered on YouTube.

The main reason why there are so few in stock is that even the most basic version of the console costs dozens of silver coins, and if you add a few accessories, the price will go up to gold coins.

It is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.

And because it is complicated to manufacture, this is the limit of the current production capacity of the Drogo Group.

However, Drogo is very confident. With the current speed of development, it won’t be long before the console becomes something that ordinary people can buy with a little effort.

Once the factory in Waterdeep is built and a large number of "automated" inferior demons are in place, production capacity will no longer be a problem.

One day it will become a must-have gadget in every household.

Currently, each employee in the group responsible for R&D administration is equipped with a work computer.

It’s not that the workers on the assembly line are not treated well or that they are not given equipment. It’s mainly because the workers really can’t use this thing when they are working.

Many R&D and administrative employees were so addicted to consoles that they bought another one for home at their own expense.

Harshly collect wages.

Don't say that Drogo is stingy. He offers a "huge" discount of 9.9% to internal employees.

Others who wanted to buy it had to pay a lot more because the supply was insufficient.

Of course, Elsa is not included in these purchased employees.

She doesn't even have YouTube on her work machine.

Because after she saw Robert Stone's name on the trending searches on Weibo, she realized that her father must be a top YouTuber now.

As long as she opens YouTube, she will definitely see those weird videos of her dad.

She dared not look.

She was afraid of embarrassment.

In Elsa's view, what her father did was a bit like being a clown to entertain the audience.

Since ancient times, clowns in theater troupes have always been the lowest in status.

People who are made fun of are usually not respected.

So she didn't dare to face the comments about her father on the Internet, fearing that he would be laughed at, although she didn't know what the comments about her father were like.

So much so that Elsa began to regret bringing her father to Drogo and letting him do such a job now.

My father is very busy every day now. Not only does he have to design and produce, but he also has to shoot videos. Sometimes businesses come to him to advertise.

Elsa couldn't understand what kind of business would come to advertise to an inventor who specialized in "waste".

Finally, it’s family dinner time again.

Elsa put the fork in her mouth and chewed for a long time. She hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind to ask.

"Dad, are you happy with this job now? If you are not happy, you don't have to do it. I can talk to Drogo. He looks fierce, but he is actually very easy to talk to."

Old Robert, who was eating quickly, looked up. His schedule was very busy now, so he had to rush to eat, just like when he was doing farm work.

"Elsa, why do you ask?"

"I, I just feel that the videos I took of you are a bit like online, like..."

Elsa hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Clown, everyone treats you as a joke, and I'm afraid you'll be sad."

Hearing what Elsa said, Old Robert suddenly laughed.

"Haha, what's wrong with being treated as a joke by others? I am spreading happiness to people, and people need happiness."

"really?"

Elsa felt that she would not be able to bear it if she became the subject of a joke.

"Of course," the father replied affirmatively, "Have you seen my video?"

"No."

"Then come and take a look." He stopped eating and took Elsa to the study.

There are two consoles at home now, one was bought by my brother Yuno, and the other is my father's.

My mother didn't. She wasn't used to that thing and thought it was too complicated.

Old Robert skillfully opened his video on YouTube.

There were two episodes in total, and both received nearly 200,000 views even though the number of users was less than 100,000.

The bright red 99+ on the private message is something you have to endure even if you can’t stand the red dot. It’s really unbearable to look at.

"Look at my lovely audience."

Old Robert said this and showed the comment area.

"genius!"

"It didn't work. I flicked it at my classmate, and he didn't move."

"Please tell me where I can buy one. I happen to have a dwarf friend who might need it."

"Hahahaha! I haven't been this happy in a long time!"

……

The comment section was full of joy.

Elsa didn't expect netizens to be so friendly. It was different from what she had seen in the game.

"Oh, yes, there were also people who scolded me."

The father found a troll comment, which already had hundreds of replies, all defending the father.

"It's never shameful to bring happiness to others," the father said firmly, "On the contrary, I'm proud of it."

Just as Drogo said, old Robert found a sense of accomplishment that he had never experienced in the first fifty years of his life.
