The people in the "Wow" square let out an exclamation, and tens of thousands of colorful small boxes were piled up, which was very beautiful and spectacular.

Xu Qing first signed the top 500 readers, and the rest of the readers Xu Qing could not sign, and more than 6,000 readers could not sign them all.

Readers at the scene were given a copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and an animatronic pet at the same time.

Some anxious readers opened the box on the spot and saw a small and cute thing inside.

Oval in shape, half the size of a palm, with a small screen in the middle, it looks like a toy.

After reading the manual, I learned that this small and cute thing is called an electronic pet, and you can use it to raise a virtual pet.

Got a virtual pet?

The reader who opens the box does not understand what this means, pets can also be virtual?

Confused, these readers press the switch button, and a cute puppy appears on the screen.

Immediately someone exclaimed that it was so cute, even cuter than a dog in reality.

Can it not be cute, there are a total of 5 pets in the electronic pet, and each pet has at least 100 original drawings before the final pet image is decided.

Of course, due to the fact that the current technology and screen are far from being as good as in later generations, the pet image that finally appears on the screen is a little worse than the original painting, but it is also very cute enough to capture the hearts of players.

Some readers are not interested in continuing to play after playing for a while, but this electronic pet was given by Xu Qing for free, and it was a gift from the launch of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

It's quite collectible, it's really not good, and you can give it away, so no reader threw away the electronic pet on the spot.

Some readers like the electronic pet when they see the pet image on the screen, and they like it even more after playing with it for a while.

These readers, who are obsessed with electronic pets, stand still and play, much like the bowed heads of later generations.

Some of these readers came to the press conference alone, and they stood on the ground playing with electronic pets without being reminded, and they played until their legs were weak, only to realize that they had been standing for so long.

Some readers come with their companions, and if their companions don't like the electronic pets, or if they haven't taken the electronic pets apart, and the situation is fine, their companions will urge them not to stand still and get in the way of others.

It's a bit miserable if their companions are also hooked on animatronic pets.

You will see a group of people standing on the ground with their heads bowed, their hands twisting from time to time, and even a few people even talking.

"Little girl, don't worry, I'll feed you right away. ”

"Why are you so cute, I love it. ”

"I'll give you a name, Natalie, okay?"

……

Readers who haven't opened the box yet feel very weird when they see such a scene.

It's nothing if you stand still and play in the way, we can take a detour, but the words that come out of your mouth should not be so weird.

Influenced by these readers who have already started playing with electronic pets, some readers who originally planned to go home and unpack the box also opened the box on the spot.

The same goes for the results, either not interested in electronic pets or obsessed with them.

So there was another group of people standing in place playing with electronic pets in the square.

It was already more than 12 o'clock after handing out books and electronic pets to all the people in the square, and Xu Qing left the square after signing 500 signatures, staying for a while.

After all, the invited guests need Xu Qing to accompany them, and they can't be stupid in the square all the time.

Hundreds of media outlets were scattered around the plaza to interview readers about their reactions to the cyberpet.

These media outlets also don't know that the mystery gift is an electronic pet, and they are told in advance to interview the reactions of readers who get electronic pets, and then write those reactions into news reports.

Originally, these media were very unhappy, what is there to write about a gift given at a press conference, for the sake of the enough money given, these media plan to write casually to deal with the past.

But when they saw the surprised and even crazy reactions of many readers, with their sense of news that they had been exercising for a long time, they immediately realized that this gift was not simple and newsworthy.

As more and more readers reacted, they played with animatronic pets for a while and immediately concluded that it was a game that wouldn't sell well.

Perhaps, as Xu Qing said at the press conference, electronic pets will become a world trend.

A whole new genre of games, which could become world trends, obviously had huge newsworthiness, and they decided to write a good news story.

Xu Qing accompanied the guests to lunch, and then left separately, Xu Qing returned to the Ritz-Carlton, where he was listening to Denning's reaction to the readers of the square.

Xu Qing not only asked those media to interview readers' reactions to electronic pets, but also sent hundreds of personnel to find out.

The reaction of those readers is indicative of the sales of electronic pets.

"Boss, according to our statistics, 63% of readers unpacked electronic pets on the spot, and 59% of them played for more than 10 minutes on the spot.

18% of readers played for 1 to 10 minutes, and 23% of readers unpacked it and didn't continue playing after a few plays.

We also asked hundreds of readers who had played for more than 1 minute, and they said that they liked digital pets very much and would recommend them to those around them to buy them.

I also asked hundreds of readers who had only played it a few times, and they said that animatronic pets were a novelty, but they weren't the type of game they liked, but they would collect them or give them to others. ”

After playing on the spot for more than 10 minutes, it can be said that I am obsessed with electronic pets, and after playing for 1 to 10 minutes, it can be said that I like electronic pets, and I don't continue to play after playing a few times, so it can be said that I don't like electronic pets.

The target audience of animatronic pets is highly overlapping with Harry Potter readers, who are basically teenagers.

With 77% of readers enjoying or being addicted to electronic pets, it is conceivable that at least tens of millions of Harry Potter readers around the world will love electronic pets.

Many of them will recommend their electronic pets to the people around them, which will lead to a huge wave of sales.

"Did anyone throw away the electronic pet on the spot?" asked Xu Qing.

"We didn't see it. Denning replied.

No one throws away electronic pets, and whatever the reason, it's a good situation.

"Christmas is about to officially launch the digital pet globally, and you continue to pay attention to the public opinion reaction these days, appropriately promote public opinion, and try to achieve the highest possible expectations on Christmas Day. ”

"Okay. ”

Danning left Xu Qing's room, Xu Qing stood up and poured a cup of coffee, and drank it in one gulp to relieve some tired spirits.

At the press conference, a total of more than 8,000 electronic pets were given away.

These more than 8,000 animatronic pets are sparks that will soon spread around the world.
