Rebirth in 1984: Beginning with Han Card Development

What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?

That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.

Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...

Chapter 139 Electronic Pets Go on Sale!

This price was set by Zhao Ye. To be honest, it's a bit expensive. Selling something this small for $99 is simply outrageous profiteering.

However, Tamagotchis weren't cheap in the previous life, and they didn't have the added benefit of the Pokémon super IP.

Therefore, Zhao Ye felt that they should sell the more expensive items.

In fact, for Europeans and Americans, $99 is nothing.

For example, the average monthly income in the United States now exceeds two thousand US dollars, so what is 99 US dollars?

I didn't feel any heartache buying it.

Excluding research and development, the production cost of the "Boundless Electronic Pet" is less than $10.

In fact, developing this doesn't cost much money.

The most important thing about "electronic pets" is creativity.

Upon hearing Wang Jizhi's answer, the fans in the audience cheered.

They'll be able to buy their desired products tomorrow, and at a reasonable price. How could they not be happy?

However, you can never imagine the tricks manufacturers use.

A "Boundless Electronic Pet" is indeed not expensive, but the Boundless Group has developed 50 different Pokémon, and may develop 108 more Pokémon in the future.

If someone wanted to collect all these electronic pets, they would have to spend over ten thousand US dollars.

This is only the first generation of "Boundless Electronic Pet". When the second generation of "Boundless Electronic Pet" comes out, will we have to spend money again?

There are a lot of fans following the Wujiang press conference.

Unfortunately, the press conference was not streamed live.

There was no internet at that time.

Fans who want to know the details of the press conference will have to wait until the next morning.

The next morning, many people rushed to newsstands to buy newspapers, hoping to find out which newspaper had reported on the previous night's Wujiang product launch.

"Wujiang Group has released a pet-raising game console – 'Wujiang Electronic Pet,' offering a unique pet-raising experience..."

"I can feed my pet, and when it poops, I have to clean it up. Wow, that's so much fun!" a little girl exclaimed with delight as she read the newspaper.

A middle-aged man passing by looked on in astonishment, thinking to himself, "The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. These little girls these days are really bizarre. Her pet pooped and she actually thinks it's funny, my goodness..."

9 o'clock.

A large number of fans and players flocked to the Wujiang flagship store, all wanting to buy "Wujiang Electronic Pet".

The line outside grew longer and longer, soon stretching for hundreds of meters. Looking around, the vast majority of them were girls.

North America.

Walmart supermarkets have seen a surge in foot traffic since this morning. Many people have come specifically to Walmart to buy "Boundless Electronic Pets," since there are still some areas where Boundless flagship stores haven't opened yet.

On this day, "Boundless Electronic Pet" was launched, a day of celebration for players worldwide.

Those who managed to snag the virtual pet were ecstatic.

They couldn't wait to hatch their little pets and then take good care of them.

Honestly, I take it even more seriously than I would my own cats or dogs.

In no time at all, you have to check if it's hungry, thirsty, or sick...

Around noon, the popularity of "Boundless Electronic Pet" soared, with more people visiting nearby stores to buy the electronic pet.

In Manhattan, USA, in an office building, two female office workers are discussing how to play "Boundless Electronic Pets".

"Give your pet more soda. I've heard that pets grow faster when they drink soda!"

Why?

"That's easy. Babies grow up drinking milk, right? Pets don't have milk, so they drink soda. The official instructions say that Wujiang soda is rich in nutrients and can help pets grow faster."

"Let me check the instructions... Oh, it really is! I'll give my little pet some soda right away. Which kind of soda do you think is best?"

"I fed my pet Pikachu 'Tianfu Cola', and after it drank it, it seemed very happy and danced for me!"

"It can even dance?! That's so interesting! I'll feed my pet Bulbasaur Tianfu Cola and see how it reacts..."

...

...

To determine whether a product is popular or not, just look at "Boundless Electronic Pet".

This year, nothing is more popular than "Boundless Electronic Pet"!

In just one week, "Boundless Electronic Pet" swept the globe, achieving sales of nearly 20 million units, leaving the industry speechless!

The Wujiang Group is terrifyingly powerful!
