Opening Blind Boxes; Collector's Edition Axolotl

Su Ye and Deng Jiajia arrived at a factory complex, which was also where Starfield Industries was located.

After the car drove into the complex, Su Ye went into a workshop to look around.

Workers were standing on the production line, making and packaging Leshi building blocks.

He picked one up at random to inspect it. The Leshi blocks inside looked excellent, basically no different from the ones he had received at his office.

Su Ye nodded in satisfaction, then went into an office.

Inside, Zhang Zhisheng hurriedly got to his feet when he saw Su Ye. "President Su, you're here."

Su Ye nodded and sat down nearby. "How are Leshi's sales going?"

He had high expectations for Leshi, especially given LEGO's success in his world.

Zhang Zhisheng hurriedly reported, "President Su, we've already negotiated with some toy stores to sell Leshi."

"Besides the stores, we've also opened online sales channels."

"We've sold tens of thousands of Leshi building block sets so far, with a total profit of approximately 3.7 million yuan."

Su Ye was very satisfied to hear that. Leshi hadn't truly taken off yet; the real money would come when his game really took off.

For now, the main focus should be on stores.

"Here's what we'll do. Start setting up physical stores over the next while, primarily in malls in city centers."

"It doesn't matter if we lose a little money at first. Get the offline channels established and running first."

Zhang Zhisheng froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "President Su, physical stores are too expensive."

"If we set up physical stores in malls across different cities, it could cost hundreds of millions."

Su Ye's mood didn't change at Zhang Zhisheng's words. He said, "Start with the first-tier cities. Once we have enough funds later, I'll approve the money for you."

"For now, I'll give you a hundred million yuan. Make sure the physical stores are properly set up and meet quality standards."

"The physical stores should preferably have a unified style. You can decide on the style yourselves, but it should preferably be related to our games."

Zhang Zhisheng opened his mouth at first, but his eyes lit up when he heard about the hundred million.

Money made everything easier. Relying on the factory's current profits would have made it difficult.

"Okay, President Su. Don't worry, I'll personally oversee the physical stores from start to finish."

"I guarantee I'll get it done."

Su Ye nodded in satisfaction, then remembered something. "Oh, right. You can try producing blind boxes."

"Blind boxes?"

Zhang Zhisheng froze. What are blind boxes?

Su Ye continued, "For example, you could have a box with a Creeper-themed figure inside."

"There would be three quality tiers: standard, premium, and collector's edition."

"You can decide the proportions yourselves, but make sure to control them carefully. There should be no more than five collector's editions."

"Ah... oh!"

After hearing Su Ye's explanation, Zhang Zhisheng felt his mind open up, and his thinking was completely unrestrained.

So figures can be sold like this too? Wouldn't they be a huge hit!?

He was already imagining the blind boxes selling like crazy.

After making some plans, Su Ye left Starfield Industries.

He didn't return to Starfield Game Company, but went home instead.

He was alone at home. His parents' departure had left him both relieved and a little lonely in this world.

Although his soul had transmigrated into this body, and having no parents was fine, being alone for so long did feel a little lonely.

Now that he'd made money, how could he not enjoy life?

No, he'd go get a massage right now, and get a membership card while he was at it.

November 28.

That evening, Xiao Dingdang brought his wife to the mall to shop.

"Pipi, let's hurry up and eat. We can head back early afterward."

Beside him, Pipi wore a lively outfit in macaron colors. Holding Xiao Dingdang's hand, she said playfully, "What's the hurry? Didn't you promise to go shopping with me today?"

Xiao Dingdang awkwardly scratched his head with his free hand. "Well... Starfield is releasing a new game tonight, so I need to hurry back and livestream."

"Come on, I know about that game. Isn't it coming out at midnight? That's four hours away."

"Uh... then let's shop a little longer. I really do need to go back and prepare for the livestream later."

"All right."

With that, the two began wandering around the mall.

Suddenly, a familiar storefront appeared before Xiao Dingdang.

[Starfield Art Toys]

Starfield? Is it... that Starfield?

As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Dingdang pulled Pipi toward the store.

"Where are you going?"

Pipi blinked, puzzled as Xiao Dingdang pulled her along. What is he trying to do?

"Doesn't that store look familiar?"

Xiao Dingdang pointed at Starfield Art Toys as he spoke, his gaze already fixed on the things inside.

Minecraft!?

It did seem to be a Starfield store.

When they reached the storefront, Pipi also saw what was being sold inside.

"A Starfield store!?"

"They have physical stores too!?"

Honestly, neither of them had expected a game company to have a physical store.

When they entered, they found quite a few people browsing. The store was clearly bustling.

Xiao Dingdang grew interested and looked at the items on display.

Leshi building blocks, Minecraft figure blind boxes, Minecraft torch lamps, and so on.

His eyes lit up at the sight. What guy could resist realistic figures? Especially ones made by the Starfield brand itself.

Xiao Dingdang was already looking at the blind boxes. When he saw the collector's edition Creeper figure surrounded by electrical arcs, his breathing quickened.

"Pipi, how about we buy a few?"

Pipi had also picked up a blind box. It was an axolotl blind box, with figures in three different colors: white, purple, and pink.

The pink axolotl was especially pretty. It sat in a pink bowl, looking adorably blank, and instantly captured her heart.

"Buy them! I want this one!"

The two each bought five blind boxes. At 29.9 yuan apiece, they spent 299 yuan in total.

The money aside, they really liked the figures, which looked to be of especially good quality.

They sat down on a bench in a rest area and began opening their figure blind boxes.

Xiao Dingdang rubbed his hands together and let out a long breath before carefully opening the box and taking out a sealed bag.

He tore the bag open and saw the Creeper inside.

Hmm... an original Creeper, standing up.

He set the figure aside, then began opening the other four blind boxes.

As he opened them one after another, Xiao Dingdang tipped his head back and looked at the ceiling.

Five blind boxes, and not only was there no collector's edition, there wasn't even a premium one. They were all standard.

No! How could this happen!

Just as he was feeling a little dazed and depressed, Pipi let out a loud cry beside him.

"Wow!"

"I got the collector's edition axolotl!"

Xiao Dingdang turned his head at her words and saw the collector's edition axolotl in his wife's hand.

He froze. Wait... is my wife's luck that good!? She couldn't have sucked away my luck last night, could she!?

P.S. These chapters are for the transition. The PUBG storyline will begin soon, with thrilling tournament matches for everyone to enjoy.

There will be more Minecraft content later, so don't worry. The author won't stop writing about a game after finishing it.
