Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 59 Chain Reaction
"Dragon Quest? Some, some, we just have a promotion, you can buy it at a 4500% discount for [-] yen."

The clerk was very happy that a customer who wanted to buy Dragon Quest finally came after so long.

After the customer heard it, he took out five thousand yen sheets and handed them over. "Here, I want a box."

The person who bought it wears a pair of glasses, looks like some kind of senior otaku, and he also seems to be holding a manga magazine that has just been unpacked in his hand.

"I'll charge you [-] yen, find you [-], and your Dragon Quest cassette, thank you for coming."

The clerk bowed slightly, and the man nodded slightly and prepared to leave.

Watching the customer leave, the player's soul in his heart couldn't help but want to explode, so he said out loud, "That, I want to take the liberty to ask, why do you want to buy Dragon Quest? Because watching others play this Is the game fun?"

The customer turned back, then raised the comic book in his hand and said, "No, it's the comic I read. It is said that playing this can learn the subsequent storyline in advance, and can also play the role of a hero to experience the story, I just want to play and see."

"Well, then let me tell you, in addition to the touching story of this game, the game itself is also super fun."

"Really?" The customer responded uncertainly.

He is also a player.

But he likes Soul Douluo more.

Because it was so refreshing.

He has also seen the gameplay of Dragon Quest before, but he feels that the picture is a bit monotonous and boring, and the picture effect is not as good as that of Contra.

The reason why I came to buy it today is entirely because the story of the manga came to an abrupt end.

In the comics, the brave man has come to the stone tablet deep in the cave to learn the secret of his life experience.

Then the brave man walked out of the cave and was attacked by the dragon king's men. It seemed that he planned to kill the brave man who was not yet strong.

The story stops here.

Damn, why do you cartoonists always like to end an episode at the most crucial moment?
Can't you just finish the painting? !
At that time, his mood was quite complicated, and he wanted to know the follow-up story, but he didn't know what to do.

He has even started thinking about sending the author the blade.

Then he noticed that after the comic was over, it was written like this: The video game of the same name is on sale, you can experience the whole story in person, and know the whole story of Dragon Quest in advance. Welcome to buy.

After seeing the news, he immediately came to his senses, took the comic book he just bought, and started looking for it in the nearby block, and finally came here.

The customer left with the game cassette, and the clerk returned to the store manager happily.

"Look at the store manager, Dragon Quest is still bought by someone."

"Well, that's just one person, it doesn't mean anything at all."

The store manager still doesn't quite believe the sales of this thing.

It hasn't gotten much better in the past month or two.

According to the statistics of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it has only just reached 20 in three months, and the sales data of game consoles has reached [-]. Contra and Tetris have both exceeded [-] sales, and other games are also close. follow.

He doesn't think Dragon Quest will suddenly be a hit.

The store manager is not a player, he doesn't understand the fun of the game, but he thinks he knows how to sell things.

If a product is left unattended for a long time, it is basically cold.

However, as soon as the store manager finished speaking, another child with a comic book walked in.

"Big brother, do you have any Dragon Quest game cassettes for sale here?"

The clerk immediately ran out and said happily, "Yes, yes, yes! Today there is an event for Dragon Quest with a [-]% discount, for a total of [-] yen!"

"Really? It's actually [-] yen cheaper! I want a box of that big brother!"

The store manager's expression was stunned at the time.

another one?
In the past day, it may not be able to sell a box.

This is not the end.

Several more customers came in one after another, and the first one to ask was the game Dragon Quest.

And they almost all have one thing in common, and that is the latest issue of Kasuga Manga magazine in their hands.

Dragon Quest's comic card stopped abruptly at the most critical moment, which made people go crazy.

Then they also noticed the small lines at the bottom of the end.

All the storylines can be experienced, but also the whole story can be experienced from the perspective of the hero, which sounds more attractive than the comics.

So they started looking for places to buy game cartridges all over the street, and they didn't even ask for the price. I'll pay as long as you have it.

At the same time, this suddenly boosted sales of game consoles.

Some senior manga readers do not own game consoles. In order to play Dragon Quest, they will buy a game console and a game cassette without hesitation. This way, the cost of recurring and repurchasing is more than 1 yen, and the consumption power has increased a lot, which is rare.

One person, two people, three people.

Until more than a dozen people came in and asked about the Dragon Quest game in a row, the store manager couldn't calm down at all.

"Hey, take down the discount announcement!"

The previous discount was to sell the game as soon as possible.

But now it seems that many people are starting to be interested in Dragon Quest.

He didn't know what caused these people to suddenly buy Dragon Quest en masse.

But he knew that if he continued to discount, each box of games would be sold for 500 yen less, and he would earn almost [-] yen less.

This made him very distressed.

In addition to this one store, other authorized sales stores are also performing the same scene.

The store managers who complained about the backlog of Dragon Quest cassettes before are now all smiling.

The profit of Dragon Quest is the highest among the game cartridges, because Dragon Quest is the most expensive to buy, 70.00 yen per box, the purchase cost is [-]% of the retail price, and you can earn [-] if you sell it at the normal price A profit of one hundred yen.

They sold a lot in just a while.

At the same time, the topic of Dragon Quest on the Internet has also begun to increase rapidly.

The small circle of communication at the beginning is also slowly expanding.

About three days later, the new week's sales figures were put in front of Zhu Yuxing.

The sales volume of game consoles is 24, and now it is rising rapidly at a rate of almost [-] a day.

With the increased publicity of surrounding cities, the upward trend of this data is also more violent.

Contra sales reached 15 copies, ranking first.

Tetris came in second with 14 copies.

Then there's the Super Baseball Game, which ranks third with 12 copies.

And No.4 is Dragon Quest, [-] copies.

In three days, Dragon Quest almost soared rapidly with a sales figure of more than 2 a day.

In the end, the sales data climbed from the original bottom [-] to [-].

Other games are basically hovering around [-] to [-].

After seeing this data, Zhu Youxing finally couldn't help but smile.

Dragon Quest is finally here.

You can wait too long.

In fact, role-playing games have always been the bulk of game console sales. Before guns and balls dominated, whoever could make a role-playing game well represented an absolute advantage.

It wasn't until about a decade later that this trend changed, but role-playing games were still popular, just in a slightly lower position.

It seems that the publicity effect of the comics is really good.

But this actually has a certain chance, otherwise, only a few games such as Dragon Quest will rise in the previous life.

In addition to Zhu Yuxing, Ikeda Daigo is also very happy now.

Because the sales figures of comic magazines have also suddenly increased a little recently, when other peers' sales figures are slowly declining, they suddenly increase their sales, which is exciting news.
