Chapter 264: A Tour for Two
The villages and towns full of "Young Heroes" elements have all turned into a sea of people.
Although similar preparations have been seen in limited events prepared by the Ugetsu Store, no previous event has been as large and extensive as this one.
Coupled with some deliberately prepared limited products and photo-taking settings, people even have the illusion that "this is the world of young heroes."
Apart from this place where everyone can discuss their favorite characters and even have the illusion of "I am surrounded by characters", where else can they show their hard work!
Thus, a project that was different from any previous one and had never appeared before appeared.
Those are the 'private stalls' organized by enthusiasts themselves.
It was not organized by Ugetsu Shoten, but was a 'booth' organized by fans on their own initiative.
What appears here are products made with love by fans.
This is the so-called "secondary creation" - of course, this world does not have such a clear and definite concept of "fan fiction" and "secondary creation".
Even the earliest secondary creations were promoted by the official Yu Yue Store through magazines.
But people never lack creativity and enthusiasm for the things they love.
So, we have the stalls we have today.
Although neither the number of stalls nor the variety of products can be compared with the preparations of Yu Yue Store.
But Yu Yue was surprised to see the number break single digits so early - considering that only a few days had passed from the announcement of the off-site activities for the 'Dubbing Contest' to today.
This execution ability is truly awe-inspiring.
You have to know that if this matter is put on some newcomers in the workplace, they may not even know what the preliminary work is and where to go for production.
It is hard to tell whether this is the strength of a ninja or the power beyond the limit that comes from the love for a beloved thing.
But no matter which one.
They all took advantage of the free time when everything was on track to come out and "inspect the results"... Actually, Yu Yue, who was just out for fun, was very surprised.
The girl concealed her identity and looked around the street like countless other young viewers, looking at the stalls with joy.
This is all proof of the vitality of an IP.
Only when there are people who like it and join in can this IP have a
It has long-lasting vitality, instead of disappearing silently after its brief brilliance .
In her previous life, Yu Yue had seen too many short-lived products like this.
"Miss Ugetsu, don't you mind?"
Seeing Ugetsu looking at those imperfect 'homemade products' with excitement, Uchiha Shisui asked curiously.
In his opinion, these things are no different from "pirated goods".
Although you can make more money if you have no money, if you spend all your money on this, it will inevitably affect the "genuine" products produced by Yuyue Store.
"I don't mind. I am happy that so many people love this work and are willing to spend time, energy and money on it."
Although this may be a bit decisive.
But those who are willing to invest a lot of money in this area will be more loyal to the work than ordinary fans.
- In other words, a few years or even ten or twenty years later, they will still be willing to spend money on this IP or other IPs they love.
And this desire to spend money will increase as the amount of disposable money in their hands increases.
There was such a person among Yu Yue’s former colleagues.
It is said that he used the first money he saved from his work to buy a complete set of models that he liked very much when he was a child but never had the chance to buy.
In Yu Yue's opinion, that was a rather risky expense.
After all, according to that colleague's situation and salary, it is equivalent to that he has not left any safe-haven funds for himself.
It doesn't matter if life is normal, but as long as there is a little accident - such as the landlord breaks the contract and rents a new house, or he gets sick, his normal capital chain will be broken.
But this incident also left a deep impression on Yu Yue.
——After people devote time and experience to things they like, they will be more willing to continue investing time, energy... and money.
And the investment of this money may even be beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
...In short, it's a good way to make money.
"You'll know later."
Yu Yue raised her hand and patted the shoulder of the boy next to her.
Over the years, the boy's height had grown from being almost the same as hers at the beginning to being so tall that she now had to raise her arms to reach him.
But the habits and little actions between the two did not change because of this.
"Okay, never mind that."
Yu Yue said, and thought
He took a few steps away.
"It's rare that we get away from the others, so let's have some fun."
It’s not that Yu Yue has never participated in events like celebrations - in fact, there are quite a few events that she is responsible for every year.
But this is the first time in a few years that I am not an investor or organizer, but a simple 'participant'...
So she is still looking forward to it.
Whether it is a roadside snack stall or various entertainment activities.
Well, today is not the 'boss rainy month' but the 'tourist rainy month', let's participate in it...
etc.
Yu Yue suddenly stopped the step she had just taken.
"What's wrong?"
Of course Uchiha Shisui would not fail to notice such obviously strange behavior.
Hearing his voice, Yu Yue slowly turned around and said with a sad expression:
"Shisui, do you have any money?"
Fortunately, Shisui's reputation as an 'all-powerful man' is not in vain.
This avoids the plot that only appears in some literary works, such as "a young lady goes out but cannot afford the food at a roadside stall."
“It was a close call.”
Yu Yue patted his chest.
But she felt that it wasn't entirely her fault.
After all, before coming into this world, she lived in an era where paperless payments were used in most cases.
After coming to this world, only in the beginning did she need to use coins herself.
Once the cooperation is rolled out, let alone currency.
She doesn't even do her own shopping - even if there is something she suddenly wants, she just needs to tell the people around her and she can get it in the shortest time possible.
Living in this kind of environment every day, you naturally won’t consider carrying money when going out.
——In fact, even when traveling outside, Ugetsu only needs to bring what she wants.
The rest will naturally be filled in by other people... Of course, about 90% of these 'others' are Shisui.
Thinking of this, Yu Yue couldn't help but sigh:
"How would I live without you?"
Not to mention traveling, she felt that her daily life and work might become a problem.
After all, she was too accustomed to the pattern that she could get everything she wanted just by reaching out.
Whether it is food, drink, or documents.
When you think about it this way, habits are really scary.
"Then, wouldn't it be nice if we could stay together forever?"
Ugetsu just sighed, but the boy's response was full of seriousness.
But because the surroundings were too noisy and Yu Yue did not have the excellent hearing of a ninja, she could only hear a few sounds sporadically.
"What?"
She turned to look at the boy who had just spoken.
However, just as the boy was about to speak, a third person's voice suddenly interrupted.
"My sister is giving you this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl rushed up and tried to stuff something paper into her hand.
Although he was stopped directly by Uchiha Shisui who reacted very quickly, Ugetsu still noticed the 'true identity' of the paper - it was Mayumi's bookmark drawn by the fans themselves.
Although her brushstrokes are still rough, the bright yet not messy colors show her potential and dedication.
Not only is the theme color Mayumi's representative color, but some small objects related to Mayumi have also been carefully painted on.
"We are holding a Mayumi exhibition over there. Everything on display is from Mayumi. You must come and see it!"
After the girl finished speaking, she waved to Yu Yue and continued to rush towards the next passerby without any delay.
And this girl is actually a member of the 'mysterious group in the hotel'.
And the 'activities' and 'missions' they mentioned... of course, were about 'letting the world know the best Mayumi' and 'letting the world see their love for Mayumi'.
Thinking of her responsibility to reduce the burden, she greeted another passerby with full energy: "Hello! Mayumi exhibition, are you interested in learning more?"
Uchiha Shisui, who did not stop her because he realized she was not a threat and just took the bookmark without authentication, could not help but sigh when he saw this:
“It’s really lively.”
“People always have seemingly unlimited energy for things they love.”
Just like the fisherman in the company before.
Going out to fish at midnight... Is this something a normal person would do?
However, I heard that they not only fish by themselves, but even have a special night fishing exchange group... This makes people have to sigh, "The world is so big."
"So, do you want to go?"
Uchiha Shisui tilted his head.
"This Mayumi exhibition."
To be honest, this is also Uchiha Shisui's blind spot in knowledge.
Although it can be understood literally as 'that is a place full of things related to the character Mayumi', but what it looks like specifically... well, it's a little hard to imagine.
Although Uchiha Shisui also likes the story of "Young Heroes", he can clearly distinguish the difference between the story and reality.
Or, if you want to admire a character.
Miss Ugetsu beside him is the one who is more legendary than any other character in the work.
His eyes were filled with the figures of such people, so naturally he could no longer notice anyone else.
Whether it is literary works or the real world.
"Wait a minute, I'm curious if there will be other character exhibitions."
Yu Yue's curiosity was truly aroused.
Although Mayumi has always been a popular character.
But if we really talk about the popularity of the three protagonists, Nakamikado Osamu has always been the well-deserved "Popular King".
Maybe it’s because the setting of this character is quite far away from ordinary people and ordinary ninjas, and humans themselves will yearn for the life and things that they don’t understand or have never had.
The setting of Nakamikado Osamu, a person whose birth and the 'secret techniques' he knows are all from a world that ordinary people cannot peek into, is particularly attractive to fans.
...Of course, the fact that he is a much more handsome guy than an average person might have had some influence.
"That's true."
The curly-haired boy smiled as he recalled the sales of Nakamikado Osamu's peripherals.
As he was growing into a young man, his face lost the roundness that belonged to his childhood and became more defined.
If he was described as 'handsome' before, now he should be described as 'handsome'.
"Then let's go this way."
He said, taking Ugetsu's hand.
"I just noticed that there are more people gathered over there."
"Where?"
Yu Yue was immediately attracted by his words, and she took a step forward along with the force he was pulling her, and walked side by side with him very naturally.
The 'bustling' place that Uchiha Shisui noticed was indeed a stall prepared spontaneously by fans, but it was actually quite far away - perhaps only a ninja, no, it should be said that Uchiha, who was also known for his excellent eyesight among the ninjas, could have discovered it so keenly.
However, before they could get close to the stall, they heard the sound of an argument.
"I told you they have nothing to do with each other!"
