Chapter 12: Handmade and 300,000 Member Forum

  Because I don't watch anime, I don't know the excitement and passion that comes with being a waste material becoming a hero.

  Because I don't watch anime, I don't know what kind of significance the ghost's wish in "Childhood Friends" has.

  Because I don't watch anime, I don't know how strong the soul of a useless dessert uncle is.

  Because I don't watch anime, so I don't know that heartfelt cheer when the basketball goes into the hoop.

  Because I don't watch anime, I've lost a lot of things and let go of many touching moments. In this world full of competition and high pressure, what else can achieve this?

  Many people live in a restless society, so they won't be satisfied until they see something strange and wonderful, with thrilling content and a satisfying plot.

  To put it simply, articles and movies full of various highlights are modern people's favorites.

  If so, they may want to seek stimulation in a dull life and find a world.

  So this game provides a platform for these people, even in the fantasy world, even through the world expressed by text and pictures, can also infect every person who has been in contact with it.

  To be honest, for Sosuke, "Fate/Stay Night" is not just a male-oriented game, even women can try to play and delve deeper into it.

  Fate/Stay Night is not about battles and fantasies, but a subversion of the "Night of Fate".

  The player's choice will change the direction of the plot, different characters will have a different future, and welcome a different ending.

  So these plots and processes are like oneself, fate is not in the hands of others, but in one's own hands.

  The radiance of victory and the heroic king's demeanor, a long-standing story and battle unfold in Fuyuki City, an exciting plot and rich characters are the main factors that attract players.

  Today is the actual sales meeting of "Fate/Stay Night", which means that after the online ordering ends, the actual delivery will begin.

  The delivery time was at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still about four hours left before that. The three members of the "Game Lovers' Club" gathered together once again.

  As the president of the company, Sosuke is filling in the gaps for the Saber figurine that the three of them made together by applying putty to smooth out the fine seams.

  Nasu Kinoko just called a little while ago, and that was to inform us that the sales of "Fate/Stay Night" are about to begin. At that time, we will report back with the actual shipping quantity and profit, which is also a sign of mutual trust between both parties.

  "Has Sosuke received a call from someone named Hayami Kiri since that day?"

  "I've received several offers, all of which asked me to sign with their record company. Their main goal is probably that one song 'You Are Not Alone'. I'm well aware of what they're thinking."

  Take out the sandpaper and gently polish the surface of the hand model. Adjust Saber to one direction, and rub it back and forth between the legs of the hand model.

  Haicheng, who was fiddling with the computer, also listened to the story of what happened that day. Although he had never personally heard Soo-young sing, since she would be targeted by Sony Music Entertainment, she must be incredibly talented.

  So Haicheng didn't quite understand why Sosuke hadn't responded to the other party.

  "President, don't you want to sign a contract and get funding for club activities?"

  "Don't be kidding me, I don't want to become a performer, so if you're not aware of this, signing that 'slave contract' is simply foolish. And when it comes to the money we need, isn't it supposed to be paid immediately?"

  Both of them knew that the profit Sosuke was talking about was from selling "Fate/Stay Night", which was indeed a considerable amount of club funds.

  Moreover, after winning the last exchange meeting, Principal Kamimura didn't have the face to come and bother us either, so it's a lot easier this time.

  He placed the figurine in front of his eyes and looked at this already formed Knight King figurine. Sosuke nodded in satisfaction.

  Sōsuke was in charge of model carving, Kaicheng made proportional corrections through computer and told Sōsuke, while the remaining Lin Xuan was responsible for coloring the models.

  The final step is now coloring. Lin Xuan, who was handed the figurine by Zuo You, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a "gulp", seemingly a bit nervous.

  "It's okay, Lin Xuan, anyway if it fails, we can just use a special solvent to wipe it off, don't worry."

  "I know, it's just that thinking about this figurine becoming the only lottery product makes me feel a bit excited."

  This is because Nishio Tadakazu posted a message on the internet again after hearing about Sosuke's intention to make a figurine.

  The title of the news is 【《Fate/Stay Night》main staff handmade first Saber figure, buyers may have a chance to get it!】, and that's how it seems to have raised the subscription volume to a new height again.

  Is it mainly responsible for people? Sosuke thought of this and smiled, suddenly hearing Haicheng's call.

  He waved at the two of them and pointed to his laptop.

  "Come quick and see what I've found."

  "Why is it always in the tone of an NPC from a RPG game."

  Shao Yu and Lin Xuan smiled and leaned in, looking at a piece of information on the computer.

  It's actually not a piece of information, but a forum webpage set up by a netizen, and the name of the forum is called "Night of Destiny".

  The posts on this forum are all about the content of the game "Fate/Stay Night", where many registered members share their experiences and gains from playing the game through posts, as well as their favorite characters.

  Among them, the most popular posts on the forum are support posts for Saber and Hero King, these two characters seem to have extremely high popularity among players.

  The Knight King and Glittering Gold will surely become famous wherever they go.

  Hai Cheng kept tapping on the keyboard and found that this forum was established on the day the game went on sale online, the network name of the forum owner is 【Horizon】, Horizon.

  From the first day of online sales, within less than a week's time, membership numbers have exceeded three million and are expected to continue growing.

  As the forum moderator, 【Horizon】also posted many posts, among which the top post is his understanding of Night of Fate, and also praise for the twists and turns of fate and resistance to fate of the characters.

  He glanced at the post 【Horizon】 opened by Haicheng and found some interesting things inside.

  A text adventure game has such a high popularity, perhaps also in expectation, facing this forum with more than 300,000 members, the subsequent sequels and development should be very smooth.

  Apart from the posts by the administrator, the rest are just speculations and inferences about the game development team. Some people think it's a big shot in the gaming industry pretending to be a newcomer, some think it's a veteran otaku group doing something interesting, and others believe it might be TYPE-MOON's own publicity stunt.

  In addition, many players seem to want to draw the first figurine of Knight King. In a post, one player said he bought 100 sets just to increase his chances of winning, and it seems that there are some small tycoons here.

  "Who would have thought we'd also become famous one day!"

  Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief and threw himself into his work, while Hai Cheng closed the webpage and prepared to start programming other software, patting Su Yu's shoulder with his hand.

  "Director, this time it's all thanks to you."

  "Of course."

  Zuo You did not deny it and was quite satisfied with such results.

  Since the first set of "Fate/Stay Night" is already ready, the sequel should also be planned as soon as possible.

  Strike while the iron is hot, this is the way of clever people.
