46: Chapter 0046 Big Sales

This included group photos and interviews with Li Size and Pativ, as well as an introduction to the factory.

Of course, these were secondary matters; Lilith's main focus now was introducing the 'Flying Fire Meteor'.

Under Felina's suggestion, the small electric scooter and even the witchcraft motorcycle were named under the 'Changxing' brand, as Li Size certainly couldn't be ridden by people.

But she suggested that Li Size name every product individually, just like the little sorcerer donkey and the three-wheeler. Li Size named the fiery red model the 'Flying Fire Meteor'.

Lilith originally wanted Li Size to take her for another ride on the motorcycle.

She had been too caught up in the excitement earlier and hadn't activated the Sorcery Recording props.

Her reasoning was that she wanted to capture a Sorcery Recording from the rider's perspective, which would provide readers with a more immersive experience in the newspaper.

There were two types of newspapers in this world: the Mass Edition and the Sorcery Edition.

The Mass Edition used ordinary paper and could only print color pictures.

The Sorcery Edition's paper included a small amount of Materials used in making a sorcery scroll, allowing it to display about 30 seconds of Sorcery Recording.

This was the magical Wizard World.

Lilith's request was readily granted by Felina, but it was changed to her giving Lilith a ride.

Having one Gelia already gave her a headache; she wished this Lilith would go as far away as possible.

The few of them had a short discussion and quickly settled the interview schedule. The awkward part was that all the interview equipment was with Olif.

The group waited for nearly another 20 minutes...

Olif finally appeared within their sight, sweating profusely, pedaling his bicycle...

Olif and Lilith looked at each other complainingly.

Olif gasped breathlessly and wailed dramatically:

"Oh! Heavens! Boss!

I finally caught up to you all! I never want to ride a bicycle again! Hah... Hah..."

Olif's exaggerated wail brought a slight smile to their faces, easing the atmosphere slightly...

Once the interview segment began, Lilith seemed like a different person—professional and capable.

She had a hint of coolness, and paired with her metal-framed glasses, she appeared both alluring and intellectual. Under her hosting, Li Size and Felina became like marionettes, purely cooperative.

He gained a deeper understanding of the nature of journalism: through specific framing and the piecing together of factual snippets, they could deeply implant their own ideas into the readership.

This was a profession with the ability to manipulate people's hearts, and Li Size was secretly wary of it.

This seemed similar to the tricks Li Size used against Lie Detection Sorcery.

A combination of statements that aren't entirely lies might not necessarily constitute the truth—that was the media.

It had to be said that Lilith was professional and kept her word.

About three days later, Lilith mailed the two editions of the commercial newspaper for that issue, both featuring a headline:

"The Genius's Creativity, The Cross-Century Invention -- Flying Fire Meteor!"

The regular edition newspaper had one photograph:

Felina and Lilith driving the motorcycle, with a background of blurred, distorted lines streaking rapidly past.

The Flying Fire Meteor's design was very clear, looking fierce yet full of mechanical beauty, while the blurred lines indicated unparalleled speed.

It was clear this was a processed Sorcery Recording photo; these newspapers had already mastered the technique of editing Sorcery Recordings.

This was a noteworthy development!

Because Sorcery Recordings were often used as important evidence for deductions and analysis by Wizards.

If Sorcery Recordings could be edited, then much evidence would no longer be reliable. He didn't know if there was a technique to discern whether a Sorcery Recording had been tampered with.

This should fall under the purview of Illusionary Magic Wizards.

The Sorcery Edition reserved a 30-second edited clip of the Sorcery Recording.

It perfectly showcased the speed, convenience, and charm of the Flying Fire Meteor, truly comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster promotion.

Li Size couldn't help but secretly give Lilith a thumbs-up, realizing that the vixen was quite capable.

Her directing ability was far superior to someone like 'Gangzi' back on Blue Star; she would be worth a billion on Blue Star!

Li Size felt his blood boil.

He almost wanted to immediately sell a kidney to get himself a coveted Flying Fire Meteor.

He could also carry two beautiful girls like Gelia and Felina, embracing them closely.

It was predictable that the Flying Fire Meteor was bound to be a hit. The good-looking Li Size, Felina, and Gelia also became minor celebrities.

Gelia had found him yesterday. Li Size's little sorcerer donkey and witchcraft motorcycle had already spread news. Gelia had conducted an investigation:

About 75% of Patrol Officers were eagerly anticipating purchasing a little sorcerer donkey!

Li Size had originally planned to start sales step-by-step, beginning with Gray Mist Mountain Town, but the commercial newspaper headline would definitely bring significant attention and traffic, which couldn't be wasted.

He finally discussed it with Felina and decided to allocate 600 of the first batch of 1,000 units to be sold in Gele City.

This matter needed to be handled quickly while the headline news was fresh.

Although the production workers were not yet very proficient with various machine tools and assembly, resulting in relatively low efficiency currently.

This batch of goods wouldn't be ready to leave the production line, pass testing, and enter the market for another week.

But with the police department's purchase intent and the commercial newspaper headline as a safety net, Li Size decided not to wait.

He decided to officially start taking pre-orders in two days:

A 20% deposit, non-refundable!

When samples of the 'Changxing' brand little sorcerer donkey and the three-wheeler appeared in a newly opened shop in the center of Gele City.

The novel appearance of these unfamiliar goods attracted a large crowd of curious citizens to come and look.

The performance parameters listed on the product description and the price—which was worlds apart from the witch box—made citizens with purchasing power eager to try them.

But this completely unknown 'Li Size Machinery Manufacturing Plant' insisted on a limited quantity, which confused them.

The requirement to pay a 20% deposit upfront also made them worried about being cheated.

However, the readership of the Gele City Commercial Newspaper was quite extensive, and the readership group that subscribed to the paper possessed purchasing power and foresight beyond ordinary people.

Some people had also vaguely heard the story of a commercial battle at the Invention Intellectual Property Arbitration Court.

In this still-unknown 'National Changxing Chain Store 000001' in Gele City, a miraculous scene unfolded:

A large number of customers came in with curiosity, but left with disappointment and worry...

On the other side, several mid-level elites in suits rushed in, signed the pre-order contracts without a word, and then rushed out...

The result was that by noon, news reached back to Gele City: the entire 600 little sorcerer donkeys were sold out!

And more and more curious citizens and customers with purchasing intent who heard the news were practically trampling the threshold.

The flagship chain store frantically called the boss, begging for increased production lines and expedited manufacturing.

Meanwhile, the 400 units allocated for Gray Mist Mountain Town, combined with the police department's order of 290 units, had only sold 320 units in pre-sale.

Gele City, as a municipal city, had purchasing power that couldn't compare to the small town.

Li Size decisively allocated the remaining 80 pre-sale units to Gele City, causing a frenzy of grabbing.

After spending some intimate time together in the factory apartment, Li Size and Felina cuddled close.

Felina canceled the Lesser Shapeshifting Spell, transforming back from Felin to herself, and happily counted the profits on her fingers...
