Chapter 19: Seeds of Success
"It's still a free game! The boss is giving us benefits!"
"Not to mention being able to plant berries, this game seems quite fun."
"It looks interesting. I haven't seen what the field looks like for a long time, and I wonder if I can grow anything."
"It doesn't matter if you can grow anything or not. Didn't you read above? You can go to your friend's farm to steal vegetables!"
"What? You can really steal?!"
"I'm sorry, but I'll blacklist anyone who dares to steal my berries!"
"..."
With the ability to plant berries in Dezhi Happy Farm, a large number of Pokémon players downloaded Happy Farm and started the game for the first time.
On the other hand, players who were initially only attracted by Happy Farm also learned about the existence of Pokémon, creating a mutual promotion effect.
"Ding~ You have a new notification from WebNet!"
"What's it about?"
"A big move, a big move!"
"It's another benefit!"
Seeing the number of Happy Farm downloads surge, John couldn't stop smiling. Given some time, these players would provide him with more points.
At the same time, John posted another message on WebNet.
----------------
[Pokémon Edible Berry Encyclopedia]
----------------
John also added private information, detailing the most suitable berries for each Pokémon. Compared to the rigid information provided by the official source, John's was undoubtedly much more user-friendly.
Well, in fact, the officials only knew that berries are the food of Pokémon, so they couldn't provide such detailed guidance.
"My lovely players, have fun."
Not long after the information was released, John received notifications of gaining new loyal fans, making him sigh at how easily satisfied people in this world were.
Thinking back, if he had such a magical virtual game in his previous life, he would have been immersed in it too.
For players, it is undoubtedly very satisfying for their favorite things to be valued by others.
Moreover, the emergence of Happy Farm could effectively solve their economic problems, and many people had already started to harvest berries and sell them as middlemen.
Regarding Pokémon, in addition to the alliances and gyms announced recently by the official sources, other facilities like breeding halls and battle training rooms had also been set up a few days ago.
The market itself can find suitable development directions, and the appearance of the league showed the official attitude, giving the players reassurance.
...
Around noon, they returned to the familiar dining table.
The establishment of the Pokémon League kept Michael and Adam very busy, and John only saw them during meals these days.
After eating, the two went back to their rooms to deal with the Pokémon League affairs.
By the way, they work in Second World and only go out when they have to travel.
John, the instigator, was lying comfortably on the sofa with Grace and Lily.
He was still thinking about the production of the next game.
It can be said that, except for the most expensive materials for cultivating immortality, John could afford other materials, but it made him a little difficult to choose. This is the trouble of happiness.
It also gave some time for players to devote themselves to Pokémon and Happy Farm.
"Lily, how's your gym?" John asked, taking a sip of tea comfortably.
"Ah, it's too troublesome."
Lily immediately showed distress upon hearing this and complained, "The group of trainers is too good, and people are still obsessed with training. Since the official announcement, my challenges have not stopped."
"It's exhausting!"
"Hehe, didn't you really want to be the Gym Leader at the beginning?" John looked at her teasingly and smiled.
People being obsessed with training is a very vivid description.
"You also said that it was originally your job, okay?"
When Lily heard this, she immediately became unhappy and punched John a few times with her small fists.
"I don't have that time, I have to make games."
John ran away resolutely. Just kidding, let's not talk about the poor food, now that it's an official gym in Seaside City, even if there is a legendary Pokémon in town, John feels like he would be overwhelmed by those players.
"Tch." Lily curled her lips. It was precisely because she was bothered by the gym affairs that it was rare for her to sit and play games today without interruption.
Then she looked at John in surprise and said, "You don't have any new ideas, do you?"
"Uh, I haven't thought about it yet."
"Don't work too hard. Actually, these two games alone are enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime." Grace advised.
Thinking of the changes in just a few dozen days, she felt a little unbelievable and continued:
"Go out and find other people to play with. Don't stay cooped up at home all the time, like Adam. You're not bad-looking, you know."
The handsome guy upstairs was inexplicably dragged into this.
The corner of John's mouth twitched, and he said repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm not tired."
"By the way, Mom, how's the pokeblocks thing going?" John quickly changed the subject.
This conversation was heading in the wrong direction!
Grace smiled helplessly, gave John a look, and replied, "According to the information you provided, the production is almost done, and the patent for the Pokeblocks has also been applied for."
"That's good. We won't let this opportunity slip by."
It's one thing to play games for free, but John wouldn't give up any legitimate earnings.
Including the previous Pokémon peripherals.
The copyright of Pokémon belongs to John, so naturally, only he can make the peripherals, and there is no competition.
But berries are different. Berries are the food of Pokémon. If not managed properly, someone will soon discover that mixing different berries according to a specific ratio can produce more suitable food. John had to act first.
"Thank you, Mom."
The John family has roots in politics, while Grace is in business. John himself is too lazy to waste time on business matters, so he naturally leaves it to Grace to handle.
"What's so hard about it? You've already figured out how to make money." Grace smiled.
"By the way, I registered a company under your name, and the future income from Pokémon peripherals and energy cubes will be managed by this company."
"Ah?" John was taken aback upon hearing this.
He hadn't considered this aspect, mainly because he wasn't short of money, so he didn't care much.
His goal is to create those game worlds and exchange them for some good things by the way.
"After all, it's yours. You've grown up now. You can't ask me for money for everything you want to do in the future."
