November 2nd, Monday.
The workday was busy again, but Mr. Lu was still living a normal life.
Since he won the competition in the University of Monster Science and Technology, it was equivalent to him completing the "Training Course" credits.
In principle, Lu Ye could choose whether to stay in school or not.
Lu Ye received a message from the Academic Affairs Office and responded with an "Oh".
"I think … I'm in the Finance Department, right?"
Lu Ye was puzzled. He scratched his head and got out of bed.
He opened the curtains and the warm autumn sun shone in.
"Boo …" Fairy Ibu curled up in the cat bed and used a ribbon to block the sun.
"She's really jealous of Pokeby."
Lu Ye thought to himself, "She's not coming to my bed at night."
He looked around.
Pokeby curled up into an egg and leaned on the drooling Katie.
Jenni Tortoise curled up in the turtle shell and soaked in the water tank. It looked like it was in seclusion.
Only the bubbles that appeared from time to time proved that Jenni Tortoise was still breathing.
Lu Ye's mouth twitched.
It was just practicing a move. Did it have to be so serious?
Speaking of which, what if it failed the tribulation?
Should he … prepare more mysterious water droplets for it?
Lu Ye froze for a moment and realized that this was bad.
Not good. Jenni Tortoise had infected him with the stability characteristic!
The best time of the day was in the morning. In the living room, Geng Gui had already started cleaning the room.
Seeing Mr. Lu wake up early, Geng Gui greeted him and floated to the bedroom to check on Pokeby's condition.
The little guy was just born and needed more care.
Lu Ye made himself a cup of black coffee and yawned lazily.
After paying off his debt last night, he fought with Sirona for two hours.
Although "Pokémon: Battle" was fun, it was also very tiring.
"I should hurry up and get the board game out."
Lu Ye looked at the sky.
"Playing cards is always a little easier than fighting …"
According to the company's weekly report sent by Olivia, the rules, numbers, and other details of the Pokémon Card had been completed.
Jasmine also provided the sketches one after another, and every single one of them was only handed in a second before the deadline.
After checking the original art, Lu Ye called Molly and smiled.
"The original art is fine, there's no need to rework it."
On the other end of the phone, Jasmine's paintbrush fell to the ground with a thud, and she almost burst into tears.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
"… Forget it, I won't deduct your salary this time."
Lu Ye coughed softly and said, "One more thing … when your Blue Emperor is angry, how do you coax it?"
Teacher Lu's fairy, Yi Bu, had just changed to a new set of rolling wheels, so this trick was probably useless now.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment. Although the little fellow would calm down after two or three days, he should still express his gratitude …
Jasmine thought for a moment and said, "If it's me … other than using Alola's honey, I can only use white vanilla."
"Is that useful?"
"White vanilla emits the scent that fairies like," Jasmine said. "When you're camping, playing with fairies can also improve your relationship."
"Wait a moment, I'll send you the picture …"
Looking at the picture sent by Jasmine, Lu Ye was stunned.
Wasn't this … a cat stick?
Including the catmint, cat roller, and massager from before …
Yes, Ibu's treasures were complete!
Lu Ye made a prompt decision. He placed an order for "Rocket Logistics" in the same city, and it arrived two hours later.
During this time, Pokebee sat on the sofa, swinging its little feet as it played Plants vs Zombies.
In front of it was a large bottle of Coke and various flavors of potato chips, which Geng Gui had brought back from the club.
Employee benefits … How could he be called an outlaw?
Geng Gui was a general manager after all, so he had some authority!
"Hmm … As long as you're not learning new moves." Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction.
Geng Gui smiled as well.
With the help of Plants vs Zombies, he could master the control of attributes. This was also proposed by Lu Ye.
It seemed that the master was quite satisfied with this teaching method!
After the "White Vanilla" was delivered, Lu Ye tied it to a wooden stick and played with the little guy.
"Bu, Bu Yi!" Fairy Ibu angrily waved its little paw.
Don't underestimate me!
Fairy Ibu turned around, but silently stretched out its ribbon …
…
"Bu Yi! O (* ≧ ▽ *) ツ "
He played with Fairy Ibu for a while.
Fairy Ibu, who had recovered its vitality, jumped on its roller wheel again.
Originally, Pokebee needed intimacy to evolve, and the "Pacifying Bell" was a very suitable item for it.
However, the "Pacifying Bell" from before had already been given to Fairy Ibu.
"If there's a need … I'll buy it for Pokebee when the time comes."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and smiled proudly.
Those who had paid off their debts were even more strong-willed!
…
In the afternoon, Lu Ye went to the company and received the first set of cards in the Pokémon series.
Olivia calmly said in a businesslike tone,
"It's a set of cards made of Fire, Grass, and Water to make it easier for newcomers to get started.
"In addition, in terms of market research, we've adopted a price of 1 yuan per pack and 5 yuan per card set."
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment. He dreamt of elementary school.
He remembered that at that time, there was a big box of messy cards at home.
Some were hero cards from buying crispy noodle snacks, some were Pokémon, and some were pirated Yu-Gi-Oh …
Of course, these were all disposed of as waste by his parents.
"Have you mailed them to the evaluators?"
Olivia said, "Including the bloggers of the video website, the game bloggers … and the teachers of the Trainer's School, as well as Dr. Ohki that you mentioned."
"However, the teachers of the Trainer's School don't seem to be interested in our paid evaluation."
"It's okay." Lu Ye smiled and said, "I happen to know a few in this area …"
"In short, you've done well, Olivia!"
Olivia, who had been calm just now, narrowed her eyes and her heart pounded.
He, he, he, he praised me just now?
No, calm down … calm down!
Olivia pressed the folder to her chest and coughed dryly. She said in a hoarse voice, "It's my honor."
Lu Ye waved his hand.
"When this project is over, let's give everyone a few days off …"
Not only Yuko Oda, but all the employees in the company showed signs of becoming stronger.
Could it be … Lu Ye's expression changed.
Baldness was still contagious!
…
Holding the newly acquired card set, Lu Ye went home and played with it for a while. Gradually, he got a little carried away.
It was a pity that the rules hadn't been popularized yet.
Lu Ye put down the cards with waning interest.
At this moment, Pokeby picked up a card spread out on the ground, his eyes shining.
"Cha Ji Du Yi ~ ~ (< < <) ☆"
Looking at the attributes on the card, combined with the knowledge that Geng Gui had taught him in the morning …
"Duyi ~ ~"
Pokeby smiled happily and gradually understood everything.
In short … the essence of a battle is the attribute's restriction!
I've already learned a little!
…
Guandu, Really New Village.
"Ahhh, stinky mud, you're so heavy, don't hug me!"
"Stinky mud ~ ~ (o ́ ∀ `o) ノ"
Dr. Ohki was wearing a gas mask and cleaning Xiaozhi's stinky mud, but he was swallowed again.
Fortunately, Dr. Ohki was also a champion. The old sack beast pulled him out forcefully.
"Ah … I'm saved."
Dr. Ohki breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a shower, he changed into the same white coat and began to deal with the day's work.
"Dr. Ohki!"
Christal, who was working as an assistant and was recording data, called out.
"There's a delivery for you today. It's from the game company!"
"Game company?"
Dr. Ohki scratched his head and shook the delivery box in his hand. "Is it this?"
"Ah, it's Donghuang's game company, the one that made Angry Lil Dove."
Christal said, "It's Mr. Lu's company."
Dr. Ohki nodded, indicating that he had some impression of it.
"That handsome young man knows how to make games?"
"You know him?"
"Ah, I heard about him from Dr. Yamanashi at the Scientific Research Summit."
Dr. Ohki opened the package, which contained a handwritten letter from Lu Ye.
After reading it carefully, Dr. Ohki couldn't help but laugh.
"What did Mr. Lu write?" Christal asked curiously.
"He wants me to promote this card game for him …"
Dr. Ohki scratched his head. "Well, I can barely keep up with the trend, but games … don't suit me …"
Christal said, "I heard that the games made by Mr. Lu all have popular elven knowledge."
"Hmm?"
"Ah, I also heard it from Akin." Christal blushed and said, "I don't know much about games …"
Akin called Christal the "study commissary" because she was too rigid and serious.
This was also because Christal was a children's teacher and couldn't make the slightest mistake.
However, in order to keep up with Akin's topic, Christal had recently started to buy game magazines …
"Popular elven knowledge?"
Dr. Ohki touched his chin. "Oh! That sounds great! "
The reason why Dr. Ohki held lectures and recorded broadcasts was that he wanted more people to feel the existence and charm of elves.
However, a game … could also be called popular elven knowledge?
"Games are also the ninth art."
Christal smiled and said, "In the trainers' academy, they also rely on simulation battles to arouse the curiosity of children."
Dr. Ohki nodded, opened the packaging, and took out the three sets of cards from the delivery box.
Fire, Grass, Water.
They corresponded to Little Fire Dragon, Wonderful Frog, and Jenni Tortoise in Guandu.
Attributes reinforced and restrained each other. This was both basic knowledge and the first lesson for trainers.
Dr. Ohki was slightly stunned.
Picking up the [Pikachu] card, Dr. Ohki laughed out loud.
"I was wondering why he dared to claim to popularize elven knowledge —"
"So he directly printed the introduction of the illustration handbook on the card!"
Christal said carefully, "You … won't be angry?"
Dr. Ohki shook his head and smiled.
"The introduction of the illustration handbook is public to begin with."
"The special illustration handbook that was sent to you is just to record more accurate data."
"Relying on these cards … to popularize elven knowledge to more people is exactly what I want to do."
It was similar to the knowledge of "Abbot Snake is not poisonous" and "Abbot Monster Poison".
Being able to let more people know about it was a rare and precious thing in itself.
Moreover, these cards might really be able to nurture a group of outstanding trainers.
It was just a publicity stunt … Why not?
Christal looked at Dr. Ohki with respect.
The doctor had contributed to the research of elves all his life.
The illustration handbook of elves was the crystallization of his life's work.
The Pokémon card also expanded the influence of the illustration handbook.
Mr. Lu … really grasped Dr. Ohki's mentality!
The ringtone rang, and Christal reminded him.
"Dr. Ohki, your contact!"
On the other side, Lu Ye found Dr. Ohki's contact information through Dr. Yamanashi.
Lu Ye had prepared a lot of speeches and invited Dr. Ohki to publicize his game.
Just as he finished introducing himself, he was suddenly stunned.
"Lu Ye, right?"
Dr. Ohki interrupted him. "I read the letter you wrote and your cards … They're not bad."
"It's not convenient for me to promote a game in public … But I'll do my best to publicize it on my private account."
"The so-called private account refers to …" Lu Ye was confused.
"My video website team."
Dr. Ohki laughed heartily.
"It's also what you call a sponsored partnership video … It can be broadcasted in 'Dr. Ohki's Backyard'!"
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment and looked up at the sky.
Good heavens … Could this be the legendary dream linkage?
"If there's no problem, I can publicize it for you next week."
Dr. Ohki smiled.
"I look forward to more young people benefiting from it, loving elves, and embarking on the path of trainers!"
…
Even when he hung up the phone, Lu Ye was still confused.
I've been thinking about the script for so long, and you just directly interrupted me?
He hadn't even said a few words, but Professor Dami actually agreed …
Suddenly, Lu Ye understood.
This was the so-called self-conquering strategy!
No matter what, Dr. Ohki was willing to publicize this project, which ensured its authority.
In addition to the sponsorship, the most important thing was that the cards were both entertaining and scientific.
When Mr. Lu was young, he loved to read the introduction on the cards.
In the era where cell phones were not available, every corner of a card would be thoroughly studied!
That night, "Dr. Ohki's Backyard" and "Mr. Lu's Late-night Cafeteria" were linked together in a dream.
The Kentaro Group galloping under the setting sun and the delicious steak made the netizens question one after another.
"Kentaylo, danger!"
"The chefs are ecstatic!"
"That's not right. Why did these two programs that don't accept sponsored partnerships suddenly advertise?"
"The Pokémon Company's game! Let them advertise! "
With the previous three games of conscience, the Pokémon studio had a good reputation.
Under Dr. Ohki's heavyweight advertisement.
The Pokémon cards were officially released to the schools around Shanghai.
On the first day, only a small number of Bilibili fans came to buy them.
The next day, under the spreading effect, more people came into contact with this new way of playing.
On the third day, the supply in the snack shop could not meet the demand, and the card packs that had just been put on the shelves were all sold out.
The overseas distribution rights were handed over to Deven Company.
A craze of card battles swept through Fengyuan's Karnatz City.
"Come and play elves!"
"Hmph, let's talk after you beat me!"
On the way to and from school, figures sitting on the curb and playing cards could be seen everywhere.
And the genius game designer, Mr. Lu.
Once again, it caused a heated discussion in the industry.
