Chapter 45 Yusaku Kudo's Horror Influence

In the end, Kudo Shinichi also failed to play the game he was thinking about.

Even though Xiaolan will only be in high school for a few months, but at this time she has basically mastered the financial power of the Mori family, let alone borrowing 1000 yen, even buying a game directly is no problem at all.

But when Shinichi Kudo collected enough money to buy the game, the owner of the game store put up a sign saying it was sold out. This was not hunger marketing, but it was actually sold out.

Even if the ad is so hype, "The Murder Case of the Alien Mansion" is a galgame after all, and it is also the first galgame on the market that adds detective elements, so it is very normal that the game store owner is not optimistic about it.

Although there are well-known writers of mystery novels joining in, the boss is only willing to buy 50 more copies of galgame games on the basis of the original purchase; Naidu Electronics Co., Ltd. has purchased an astonishing number of sales after door-to-door recommendations from pharmaceutical companies. of 150 copies.

At this point, the owner of the game store was still worried about not being able to sell, and the backlog of inventory.After all, this is three times the amount originally planned!
But now, his intestines are almost turning green.

"Is it Minister Nishizaki of Naito Electronics Co., Ltd.? I want to order another 500 copies of the game software of "The Murder Case of the Alien House". What? The supply is not enough, and there is no way to deliver it for the time being? Director Nishizaki, please do me a favor. Supply it to Mihua Town first!"

Such conversations not only happened in offline game stores in Mihuacho, but also in Kubotocho, Mizuhocho and other places.

"According to the feedback from various dealers, 80% of our first batch of offline games, or 16000 copies, have been sold. Including pre-sales, the total sales have exceeded 5 copies. The volume has increased to [-] copies, but judging by the sales speed, it is estimated that the second batch will not last long."

Several sales members who are responsible for communicating with dealers in various places never put down their phones. Almost as soon as they hung up the last call, the next call came in again.

"How much do we have in total?"

Hu Cang Gengping, who came to the scene to direct, was in a particularly good mood. Although the entire marketing process did not go according to his plan, the popularity of the game is the key. He was a little dissatisfied with his plan being completely rejected, but now he only feels professional Things still have to be left to professionals.

"We have a total stock of 15 copies. The pre-sale plus the first batch is 3, and the second batch is 5. Now there are only 7 copies left. I think we can contact the factory to hurry up and produce."

Asuka Nishizaki was in a particularly excited mood. She prepared 15 copies under a lot of pressure.At the moment when the highest sales volume of galgame games is only 20.8 copies, this is undoubtedly a very risky move.

But she won the bet, and the popularity of the game completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

"The president is still amazing!" Asuka Nishizaki looked at the people around who congratulated her on her success, shook her head, and didn't really attribute all the credit to herself.

"In my vision, the sales of the game will not be very good at the beginning of its release. After all, there are not many people who like games and reasoning at the same time. It is possible to achieve a counterattack after three or even five days of word-of-mouth fermentation.

I didn't expect the president to use such a publicity method to challenge the puzzles set by the world-renowned reasoning writer, and at the same time get his manuscript. This is a direct dialogue with the idol for all Yusaku Kudo fans Chance.

Moreover, writers and detectives of various mystery novels will also join the game, and they may care more about the top 100 ranking than the manuscript.To be able to solve Mr. Yusaku Kudo's puzzles as quickly as possible, doesn't it prove that they are a very powerful mystery writer or detective?

Mr. Yusaku Kudo's influence is terrifying!The president's plan is also perfect to kill two birds with one stone. "

"So there are so many tricks in a simple manuscript?" Saburo Funabiki, who was sent to spread the word, finally understood what Bai Chuan meant, and at this moment, he could only feel that his president was really scheming.

"So let's stock up on another 10 copies." Hu Cang Gengping had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed. He liked to hear someone praise his brother's son, especially when the praise came from a gold medal salesman.

"I think we can be bolder." Nishizaki Asuka's eyes sparkled with a light called ambition,
"The current feedback is all about the situation in Tokyo and surrounding areas. There may be shortages in places further afield, but the news has not yet been transmitted, so we might as well stock up 30 copies directly."

For many reasoning puzzlers who have never been exposed to games, whether the game is fun or not is not critical, the most important thing is to solve the puzzles left by their idols. 2999 yen is considered a mid-range price for the game, but this price is not even half that of "Night Baron", so the sales sprint is faster than expected.

Before even waiting for a day, the second batch of goods had already been sold out, and the third batch of goods had already been half booked on the way out.

Hucang Gengping and other staff immediately fell into the trouble of happiness.

Mao Lilan walked home alone, she still felt a little strange about what happened today.This is the first time I saw that reasoning fanatic excited, excited, and worried to that extent for a game.

'I heard that the new father participated in the production of the game, and the first [-] people who solved the game's puzzles will also have the opportunity to draw the original game.Is Shinichi for the original manuscript?Or are you simply interested in gaming? '

Thinking of Xinyi's depressed expression when he left, Xiaolan felt very uncomfortable.

'Why don't you call Yuanzi and ask Yuanzi later, she should be able to buy it there, right? '

Mao Lilan, who was already in a bad mood, saw his father with his legs crossed, his beard unshaven, and a cheering stick in one hand and a beer in the other as soon as he entered the door, and he was even more angry.

"Dad! Why are you drinking during the day again?"

She stepped forward in threes and twos, snatching the empty wine bottle from Mori Kogoro's hand.

"What does it matter, anyway, there is no entrustment today."

Mori Kogoro said nonchalantly, opened a new can of beer, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

Maybe it was too much force when he leaned back, and he fell off the chair directly, and a large number of documents on the table flew out as he fell.

Xiaolan hurried forward to help her unreliable father up, and then began to sort out the documents that had fallen all over the floor.

"The murder case in the alien hall? Dad, when did you buy the game?"

Looking at the more than one copy of the game software on the ground, Mao Lilan rubbed her eyes suspiciously. There are three copies of the game that Xin Yixin can't buy at home!

"Ah, what kind of weird game are you talking about?"

Kogoro Mori, who was sitting on the ground and still didn’t forget to drink, answered with a drunken eye:
"One of them was sent by Police Officer Megure. He said it was a protection fee paid to Yusaku's brother. The entire police station basically has a share. He hopes that Yusaku's brother will not go back to Japan often. But that guy Megure won't Playing games, so I gave it to me.

Another copy was sent by Long, which is my detective friend. He said that as long as he solves the case in the game, he will definitely become famous and get reports in major newspapers.

I found the last one in the mailbox downstairs, and I don't know which woman sent it. "

Feeling the glue on the third game that has not completely dried up, Mao Lilan's reasoning ability at this time is comparable to that of Kudo Shinichi
'There was a note posted on it. Mom said that she was working with Xinyi's father during this time, so this game must have been sent by mom!And the note must have been put away by Dad! '

After confirming that mom and dad have a crush on each other, and found the game they need, Mao Lilan is in a good mood, and picks up the game presented by Police Officer Megure and puts on the shoes again
"Father, you'll go downstairs to settle your dinner today. I'm going out now."

Humming a cheerful ditty, Mao Lilan came to Kudo's house smoothly.

"Xinyi, look what I brought you"

Pushing the door, Xiao Lan, who was still immersed in joy, was immediately blinded by the scene in front of her.

I saw that Yukiko Kudo had already set up the umbrella light and photography light, and was taking pictures with the camera in her hand.And the one standing in the center of the light is Kudo Shinichi with black leather shoes, white stockings, pleated skirt, maid outfit, and a pair of cat ears on his head.

what------! ! !
Mao Lilan let out a scream that he didn't know whether it was shame or happiness.
