Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

"I will definitely do my best! I'll arrange for people to sort out the inventory tonight and start stocking it first thing tomorrow morning."

After a busy night, distributors from various regions expressed that they were ready to launch the product.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, 361 Games' cartridge games quietly went on sale in game stores in major cities.

Despite limited publicity, with no large-scale advertising campaigns, no television commercials, and no large newspaper ads, the game still attracted considerable attention from players thanks to its unique gameplay and fun factor.

In a game store, a young gamer walked in and looked around at the newly arrived games.

He was wearing a T-shirt with a rock band logo, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes showed curiosity about new things.

His eyes were immediately drawn to the cartridge games from 361 Games. He picked up a game box, looked at the exquisite illustrations and interesting descriptions on it, and muttered to himself, "This game looks pretty interesting. I've never heard of it before."

The shop owner, seeing this, quickly introduced, "This is a new game that just arrived yesterday. I heard the gameplay is very innovative, you can give it a try. From the game's description, the characters can level up, and there are many hidden things. It looks like it will be quite fun."

The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll buy a box to try out. I hope it won't disappoint me."

He paid the money and left with the game, full of anticipation.

In other cities' game stores, players have also been drawn to this new game and have purchased it to try it out.

Some players, after buying the game, couldn't wait to turn it on and immerse themselves in the game's wonderful world. They even shared it with their friends over the phone: "I'm telling you, I bought a new game today, it's so fun! The characters can become super powerful, and the levels are really exciting. You should go buy a copy too!"

The Hong Kong businessman who stole the cassette tape returned to Hong Kong in triumph, harboring a secret sense of smug satisfaction.

His gleaming black sedan slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the company building, the tires screeching as they rubbed against the ground.

The Hong Kong businessman pushed open the car door, dressed in an exquisitely tailored suit, his leather shoes polished so bright they reflected his image, and strode confidently with a slightly arrogant air into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, he looked at his confident self in the mirror, a smug smile playing on his lips, his mind filled with the enormous wealth that was about to be his.

Stepping into his luxuriously furnished office, the leather sofa exuded an air of extravagance, as if proclaiming the owner's prestige.

The mahogany desk is heavy and imposing, with a small, pure gold ornament on its surface that gleams brilliantly under the light.

Several oil paintings by famous artists hang on the wall, with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors; each one is quite valuable.

In the corner, an exquisite antique ornament stands quietly, exuding a rustic charm.

The Hong Kong businessman strode behind the large desk, plopped down in the soft leather chair, crossed his legs comfortably, and beamed with a triumphant smile. He excitedly addressed his subordinates standing beside him, "We've really struck gold this time! Look at these game cartridges we got from the Canton Fair—the gameplay is incredibly novel, and the market potential is phenomenal. Everyone, get to work, day and night, and make a killing before those guys at 361 Company realize what's happening! Give it your all!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously, as if he could already see mountains of gold and silver beckoning to him.

Upon hearing this, his subordinates nodded and bowed, their faces beaming with obsequious smiles.

"Boss, don't worry, we will do our best to complete the task on time!" one of the subordinates said with a fawning expression.

"Yes, boss, we're sure to make a fortune this time. You'll have to reward us handsomely then," another subordinate chimed in.

After agreeing, they quickly got to work, hurriedly leaving the office and heading towards the dark and damp factory.

The factory was located in a remote corner on the edge of the city, surrounded by weeds and with dilapidated walls that were on the verge of collapse.

Inside the factory, the light was dim and a pungent smell permeated the air.

The production equipment was old and worn out, with the machine surfaces covered in dust and oil, and some parts were even rusted.

The workers skillfully adjusted the equipment; their hands were calloused, and their movements were swift yet tinged with a sense of helplessness.

Rolls of pirated cassette tapes were loaded onto the printing press, which emitted a screeching sound, as if it were struggling to breathe with each printed sheet of pirated paper.

Although the pattern on the paper looks similar to the original at first glance, upon closer inspection, one can find that the colors are dull, the printing is rough, and the details are blurry.

"This printing press is too old; the quality of the printed products can't be guaranteed at all," a worker muttered under his breath, frowning.

"There's nothing we can do. The boss refuses to replace the equipment in order to save money, so we have to make do with it," a fellow worker replied helplessly.

Meanwhile, 361°, on the other side, was not idle either.

From the moment they learned that the cassette tapes had been stolen, the entire company was on high alert, throwing themselves into this silent battle against the pirates.

The marketing staff spent their days in libraries and newspaper offices, poring over materials from various game magazines, communicating and coordinating with editors to try and get articles exposing piracy published in the magazines.

Xiao Wang from the marketing department said anxiously into the phone, "Editor Li, I'm really begging you this time. Our company's games are being pirated, which not only infringes on our rights but may also cause losses to players. Look at those pirated products, the quality varies greatly. Players have spent money but can't play good games, and it might even damage their game consoles. I hope you can help us expose these piracy activities in the magazine so that players can be more vigilant."

Editor Li expressed his understanding over the phone: "Xiao Wang, I understand your situation. Our magazine is committed to maintaining the healthy development of the game industry, and we will definitely help. Please compile the relevant information and send it to me, including the characteristics of pirated products, the advantages of legitimate games, and your company's statement. We will arrange the publication as soon as possible. By the way, do you have any cases of player feedback regarding the quality issues of pirated games? Please send them to me as well, so that the article will be more convincing."

Xiao Wang quickly replied, "Okay, Editor Li, I'll organize it and send it to you right away. Thank you so much!"

However, it wasn't long before the Hong Kong businessman learned from his business contacts that 361 Games was urgently selling games.
