Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

In the north, Luling Ice and Snow Ecological Tourism Village.

A room that looks like an animal skin tent on the outside, but has actually been converted into a brick house and connected to magic power lines.

The magic video machine was playing the news program of Red Dragon Radio and Television.

"The original Broken Fang Dragon Hunting Group officially announced yesterday that it had signed a contract with the Drogo Group and became the Broken Fang Dragon Breeding Group, which is committed to applying the dragon-related biological knowledge accumulated over the years to the breeding of young dragons.

“In addition, the Dragon Cultivation Troupe will also perform with the children from the Waterdeep Dragon Kindergarten in the first human-dragon co-performance in Felin’s history. Please look forward to it.

"The transformation of the Broken Fang Dragon Hunting Group is an important step for the dragon race to integrate into society..."

Xiaolu was watching the magic video machine while taking notes in his small notebook of composition materials.

"The Dragon Hunting Group is transforming to keep up with the times. Facing changes in the environment, we should know how to adjust ourselves to adapt to new things and gain new opportunities..."

"Frozen" is a very magical movie. Most of the actors who have participated in it did not pursue a career as an actor, but returned to a peaceful life, as if the movie was just a small branch in their lives and had little impact on the main line.

Little Deer's brother Grove is still the ice harvester, but he has learned the craft of ice carving and becomes a member of the team that builds the ice and snow park every winter.

Because now ice is harvested using magic machines, which increases efficiency several times while not requiring as many workers.

In the summer, Grove went into the mountains to collect mountain products. He originally planned to return to the village to help in the summer.

It turns out that there are no tourists in the village in summer, as summer is the off-season for tourism in the north.

The entire original Deer Spirit Tribe was transformed into a farmhouse and moved to a place closer to Winter City.

This way it is convenient for people in the tribe to go into the city and for tourists to come as well.

But the people in the tribe don’t understand that the people from outside must be so bored that they want to experience their hard and tiring life.

The elder grandmother is no longer so resistant to the outside world.

The purpose of opening a tourist village is just to give the people in the tribe something to do.

In fact, they are not short of money.

Because of the requisition of the Deer Spirit God's bones, the Drogo Group would give the tribe a large subsidy every year.

However, the elder grandmother always believed that if people don’t have something serious to do, they will become useless.

What is serious business?
Then there is no clear definition.

Oh, by the way, the elder grandma’s prediction session is the most popular experience in the village.

Use the most magical method to make the most scientific big data "predictions".

The original site of the tribe was sealed off by the Drogo Group, who said it was some kind of important server room.

The place after the relocation is between the original site and Winter City, which also leads to another major feature of the village.

The fastest internet in the North.

Coming to Luling Village to test the Internet speed once became a popular topic on the YouTube platform, and many Internet celebrities followed suit.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the little deer always feels that the last time he saw Lu Ling, He was two sizes bigger than before.

The little deer was very attached to his original home and was sad for several days when he learned that the tribe was moving away.

Then I was conquered by the convenient life in the house with magic power.

It's so convenient.

There is no need to burn firewood, just turn on the heater and the whole room will become very warm. You no longer need to cover yourself with several layers of thick and heavy quilts when you sleep.

I heard that the North is also planning to imitate Waterdeep and provide running water to every household, that is, water that will flow out automatically when you turn on the switch. It’s amazing to think about it.

As for the fawn himself, he went to school.

He clearly realized that he was not cut out to be an actor, so he might as well study hard and strive to make something as magical as a heater or even tap water in the future.

In order to achieve this goal, you have to enter Hogwarts.

There was an extra-thick desk calendar in the room, showing a countdown, with 913 days left until the Hogwarts entrance exam.

But now his achievements are far from enough.

Especially the language subject.

I never thought that my Chinese would be so bad, but the science subjects that I had never touched before were okay.

Especially the composition. The full score for the composition in the Hogwarts entrance examination was 60, but he had never scored above 45 points in the mock exams.

Can't find the trick at all.

I had no choice but to buy a bunch of tutorial books, such as "Detailed Explanation of Manchu Composition", "Analysis of Excellent Compositions", "One Thousand Golden Sentences for Exam Compositions"...

It’s strange that the Hogwarts entrance examination has only been held a few times so far, so where do so many full-score essays come from?
Could it be that the test-setting team leaked the information on purpose in order to sell tutorial books?
However, these books are still quite useful. At least he learned how to write formulas. What he lacks now is to improve his writing skills and accumulate writing materials.

That's why he watches the news every day now.

There must be historical allusions and hot news.

comprehensive!

Just as he was about to continue summarizing the materials, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Little Deer! Little Deer! Quickly change the channel, the first broadcast of Snow Child is about to begin!"

The people who came in were a few friends from the village who were about the same age as the deer.

"I'm learning to write an essay, please stop making noise."

"Why are you learning composition? Why don't you just watch some animation?" said the friend and grabbed the remote control.

As the number of Magic TV stations gradually increased, the Magic TV machines were also upgraded with remote controls.

"You don't have a magic video camera at home, why do you have to come to my place to watch it?"

The little deer pretended to be angry, but he was actually very happy.

He doesn't really want to watch the news, but he feels guilty for not studying, so he needs someone else to bear this "guilt".

Help him escape from the misery of studying.

"Our magic camera isn't as big as yours," my friends said matter-of-factly, "Look, there are your favorite cucumber-flavored potato chips."

Xiaolu is the richest person in the village besides the elders, after all, he is a former child star with some fame.

Whenever there is any publicity in the village that needs to be done online, he will be the protagonist in the filming.

The little deer ate potato chips and asked, "Is your brother coming home soon?"

Igor, the friend’s older brother, is Xiaolu’s idol and the only college student in the village.

A full-time student of Hogwarts.

Learning Magic Link.

Xiaolu actually doesn’t know what the magic link is exactly, but it sounds very powerful.

Igor was originally trained as a candidate for elder and studied spells from the School of Prophecy, but when it came time to choose his major, he resolutely decided to change his career and entered the deep pit of magic engineering.

"He should be here today," the friend replied, "He was originally on holiday, but he seemed to have found an internship at a factory, so he'll be here a little later."

"practice?"

"It's just part-time work. I think it's pretty much the same. The pay is even less than that of regular workers. It's not interesting. But my brother said he has made an invention and wants to bring it back to show us."

"What invention?"

Hearing this, the little deer became interested.

"Oh, I don't know. He mentioned it once on the phone, but I didn't understand it at all. Never mind. I'll bring it back today and watch it later. The cartoon is about to start."

……

"Uncle, thank you."

Igor thanked the coachman, jumped off the carriage, and then took a package half a person's height from the carriage.

That was the result of his hard work this school year.

In order to save money, he didn't hire a proper carriage, but took the car of an acquaintance. He was not so poor originally, but unfortunately, once he got into the magic device pit, it was like a deep sea.

All the living expenses were used to buy magic components, and all the money earned from internship was also used, leaving only a little money to buy food to maintain vital signs.

But he thinks it's all worth it.

What future does working have? You should start your own business and be your own boss.

As a person whose family doesn't have much money, it is a bit difficult to start a business relying on capital operation. I can only rely on a brilliant idea.

His creativity is packed in this big package.

A wonderful magic device, well, he thought it was a wonderful magic device.

This was one of the first samples he made.

As for why it was the first batch, it was because his design could not be made by himself, he had to go to a factory, and if the factory only made one unit, they would not accept the order.

In order to make these samples, he borrowed more than ten gold coins from the bank.

If you don't succeed, you will be working like a slave for the next few years.

So just success.

He had an agreement with the owner of the factory where he was interning that if he could sell the first batch of samples, the other party would invest.

He originally thought it was a very simple matter.

After all, his idea was so brilliant.

Sadly, zero sales to date.

After a series of reflections, he came to the conclusion that there was no future in selling refrigerators in the North without investigating the market at all.

Yes, his brilliant invention was the refrigerator.

It really looks like a box, not a cabinet.

The inspiration came from a documentary he watched, which talked about the luxurious life of top nobles and mages.

There is a refrigerator inside, a pure magic refrigerator, which is extremely expensive just for eating icy desserts in the summer.

What Igor wants to make is a refrigerator that ordinary people can afford.

This is a very popular practice recently. After the advent of the magic energy machine, everyone realized that equipment that relies on magic energy as energy will become mainstream in the future.

Many individual organizations have begun to try.

One of the main directions of the attempt is to transform the pure magic facilities that were originally only affordable by nobles and wizards into civilian industrial magic products.

Igor stared at the refrigerator.

He did a pretty good job.

It has low energy consumption, large capacity, and low cost. The box is creatively divided into two parts, and you can manually adjust the temperature you want. The temperatures on both sides are different.

Can store things with different temperature requirements.

The idea is great, the practice is great, the problem lies in selling this thing in the North.

The North is a bitterly cold place famous on the continent.

It's an unfortunate place where the temperature drops below zero from the beginning of autumn and doesn't return to zero until the end of spring.

That is to say, the temperature is below freezing for nearly three-quarters of the year.

refrigerator?

Just throw it out of the house.

If it is a poor family, the heating measures are not sufficient and the temperature in the house is below zero.

Who would spend money to buy a magic device that is not used most of the year, and it is not particularly cheap.

As for those who don’t care about cost-effectiveness, they already have magic refrigerators!

Just like that, Igor's design was completely stuck in a dilemma.

Just when I was about to give up and work like a slave to pay off my debts, a life-saving straw appeared.

Online shopping!

Igor seemed to see a ray of hope.

An express route connecting the North, Waterdeep, Royal City, and Twin Towers City.

Even if refrigerators are not needed in the North, there must be a demand in other places, especially in Shuangta City. I heard that people there are rich and the weather is hot. Isn't that the place that needs refrigerators the most?

It is said that leftover rice in Shuangta City will turn sour if left during the day. I can’t believe it.

The temperature in the north is only in the early 20s in summer, so it's no problem to leave leftovers for a day and a night.

As for the coldest time of winter.

Let’s put it this way, you cook a big meal during the holidays, and all you eat for half a month after the holiday is the leftovers.

In order to grab this life-saving straw, Igor quickly registered an outlet using the template provided by the Zhuoge Group and only sold one product, refrigerators.

It is sold completely at cost price, and even the courier fee is paid. The losses now are just small amounts of money. If it succeeds, once the investment is in place, the losses can be earned back several times over.

The idea was great, but then he faced a whole new problem.

Without publicity, there will be no customers.

Looking at the single-digit page views of the outlets every day and still zero sales, there is no place to lose money even if you want to make a loss in express delivery fees.

How can there be sales without customers?

Regarding this issue, he chose the cheapest way, which was to promote it through the Internet, or more precisely, through the YouTube platform, by just shooting a video himself.

There are cameras in the village and you can borrow them.

And who appeared on the screen.

That can only be the person with the most traffic in the village, Xiaolu.

The little deer is a good kid, very easy to talk to. All he needs to do is ask him to take a video and produce a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips. In order to better "bribe" the little deer, Igor brought back two boxes of potato chips.

One box of cucumber flavor, the other box of lime flavor. He couldn't understand what was so delicious about these two strange flavors. He only wanted the original flavor.

Carrying a refrigerator weighing dozens of kilograms, it took him five hours to walk back to the village.

The uncle wasn’t going his way for the last leg, and he didn’t feel comfortable asking others to take him around, so he chose to walk by himself.

Fortunately, I did a lot of farm work when I was a child. It was common for me to cross mountains and hills to chop firewood and collect ice, otherwise I would not have been able to get back.

His physical fitness is at the superhuman level among mages.

I finally got home, said hello to my parents, and went straight to find the deer.

I didn't dare tell them about the loan, saying that everything was fine at school. I was afraid they would faint after finding out the truth.

When I arrived at Xiaolu's house, I could hear the devilish sound through the door.

Several children cried heart-wrenchingly.

One of them sounded familiar, as if it was my own younger brother. The last time I heard him cry like this was when his rabbit died.

That rabbit was also unlucky. There was a thunderstorm and the rabbit was frightened to death by the thunder.

Igor knocked on the door.

There is no habit of locking doors in the village. In the past, people who lived in tents didn’t have proper doors. Now everyone in the village knows each other, so there is no need to lock doors.

And after becoming a tourist village, there are many surveillance cameras in the village.

"I'm Igor, I'm coming in."

No one answered him, only "Woo woo woo, ah ah ah, the snowman has melted..."

Wait, what's childish?
Although Igor has not yet determined what it is, another "brilliant" publicity idea suddenly popped up in his mind. (End of this chapter)
