With such a sudden change, none of the publicity department dared to agree. Then, they began to frantically search for the reason. In the end, they found out that it was because the mainstream media that published the advertisement, "Mouth Bag Monster: The Explosive Birth of Rogia", had all experienced a surge in sales.
This was because if the players wanted to obtain Rogia, they would have to get a notification from the officials. In this era where the internet was completely underdeveloped, the best way to get a notification right away was to buy a newspaper that published an advertisement called "Mouth Bag Monster: Rogia's Exploding".
This caused all the newspapers that published the advertisement to sell like crazy. Using "USA Today" as an example, "USA Today" used to sell about 1.5 million copies a day.
However, after the third advertisement, the sales of "USA Today" directly soared to 2.5 million copies, increasing the sales by one million copies. All the newsstands in the United States were almost sold out. This was unprecedented for "USA Today".
However, this made the New York Times very unhappy. After all, as the second place, they only sold two million copies a day on average. As a result, they were overtaken by "USA Today" in an instant.
In fact, "USA Today" also surpassed the number one "Wall Street Journal". The "Wall Street Journal" only sold 2.4 million copies that day. This made "USA Today" instantly become the number one newspaper in the United States, although it was only for a day.
The extra one million copies were naturally contributed by "Pokemon" players. Many "Pokemon" players who didn't read newspapers usually bought a copy of "USA Today" just for the notification.
Anyway, the price of a newspaper was not expensive.
This was probably the first time in history that a customer bought a newspaper specifically for an advertisement.
This made The New York Times very jealous. In order to achieve the highest sales volume in the United States, they took the initiative to look for the publicity department and requested to advertise Pokemon.
Some people might find it very strange. It was just an increase in sales for a day. It didn't help much in the overall sales of the newspaper.
Moreover, it was difficult to convert customers who bought newspapers for game advertisements into loyal customers of the newspaper. It didn't seem worthwhile for the New York Times to take the initiative to reduce the price for such an advertisement.
From a normal point of view, this was indeed the case. The New York Times would not purposely lower the price.
But the problem was that this was an opportunity to become number one in the United States. Most importantly, this title could be written in the company's annual report for all the shareholders to see.
After all, most of the shareholders did not know that there was something fishy about the number one in the United States. They only saw that the New York Times had become the number one in the United States, which meant that the New York Times had the capital to continue to rise. Then, the stock price of the New York Times would rise accordingly, and the shareholders would all make a lot of money.
As for the price, it was merely a retelling of a page. The price was almost the same as nothing. Even a fool would make the right choice.
The situation was basically the same in other countries. Almost all the newspapers that published the "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" advertisement were sought after by the players. One of the newspapers in Fusang directly increased the sales by 1.2 million copies. It was a miracle.
After figuring out the reason, the publicity department laughed. They immediately announced to the public that they could publish an advertisement for "The Exploding Life of Mouthbag Monster: Rogia", but on the condition that they would not charge any fees. After all, publishing our advertisement would greatly increase sales, and the effect would surpass any other news in the newspaper. You actually want to charge us for it!
Well, when the Publicity Department made this decision, they were still a little nervous. What if the major newspapers didn't buy it?
Sure enough, after the New York Times heard the Daqian's decision, they gave up. How could they not spend money to publish the advertisement?
However, the USA Today chose to accept it. About half of the newspapers in the world also gave up. Then, it was quickly taken over by other newspapers.
Therefore, when the box office hit 400 million USD and the fourth "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" advertisement was released, the sales of the USA Today newspaper actually won another miracle from 2.5 million copies. This issue of the newspaper sold a total of 4 million copies … This was because the USA Today newspaper only printed 4 million copies that day. Otherwise, it might have broken this figure.
The situation was basically the same for the newspapers around the world. This was because at first, many Pocket Players did not know about this matter.
However, as time went by, more and more players knew that the mystery of Rogia was hidden in the newspaper. The result was, of course, all kinds of sales.
After all, it was just a newspaper. It cost 5 cents a copy. Everyone could afford it.
The USA Today newspaper was laughing like crazy. The New York Times came back shamelessly and said that they were willing to publish the "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" poster for the fifth time for free.
As for whether the global box office of "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" could exceed 500 million USD, there was no doubt about it. This was because at the end of the third week, the global box office of "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" had reached 490 million USD due to the recommendation of a large number of players.
On Monday, there was no problem for it to exceed 500 million USD. The most important thing was that from the fourth week onwards, more than 20 countries around the world would release "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" one after another.
One had to know that "Monster with a Mouth: Rogia's Explosion" was calculated based on the global box office. In the next few weeks, "Monster with a Mouth: Rogia's Explosion" might very well release two or three posters that exceeded a hundred million yuan!
In the end, "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" alone created a global box office of 210 million USD in the fourth and fifth weeks after its release. It refreshed its total box office to 800 million USD, completely breaking the previous record of "Pokemon: The Counterattack of Transcendent".
At this time, "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" was still moving toward a global box office miracle of 1 billion USD.
After all, the players of "Pokemon" were all over the world. These players were crazy to get their hands on Rogia. What was a mere movie ticket? They had to get more official clues.
Daqian was really bad. Even when the box office reached 800 million USD, they still did not announce all the clues. This made many players still bitter that they could not get their hands on Rogia. They could only watch the box office of "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" helplessly. Then, they steeled themselves and went to the cinema to watch it a second time to increase the box office of "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion".
Finally, in the seventh week after its release, "Moustache Monster: Rogia's Explosion" officially broke through 1 billion USD in the global box office. After releasing 10 posters, the officials finally announced all the clues.
Step 1: Get the Three Sacred Birds
Step 2: Find the fishing rod
Step 3: Fish for the reed flute
Step 4: Find a researcher in an inconspicuous small building in New York City. He is an expert in ancient musical instruments.
Step 5: Use the Three Sacred Birds to fight with the wild Violent Dragon more than 200 times. Only then will 60 different Three Sacred Bird feathers be dropped to repair the reed flute.
Step 6: Raise the Three Sacred Birds to the maximum level. Then, release them at a specific coordinate by the sea. You can open the entrance to the hidden map of Three Saint Island.
Step 7: Defeat all the NPCs in the hidden map with only three Pokemon, Green Caterpillar, Iron Cocoon, and Ba Dazhui. Only after obtaining the NPCs' approval can you talk to them.
Step 8: Win more than 20 consecutive rounds of rock-paper-scissors with a child NPC to obtain a toy sand shovel.
Step 9: Use the toy sand shovel to dig the sand at the 10 coordinates of the hidden map. You can obtain fragments of a musical score. Finally, you can synthesize a complete musical score.
Step 10: Use the reed flute and musical score at the same time at a specific coordinate to awaken Rogia. Then, fight him. Defeat him and you can get Rogia.
Yes, if any of these steps could be triggered by a player, they would be like the Son of Destiny. It had been half a year since the game was released, but no player had been able to get Rogia.
