บท 219: 218 - Breaking Boundaries
On the second day that the Pokemon Store in Kazumachi City opened, sales rose to an incredible 3,000 units.
And it was only 3,000 because it was impossible to sell more than that with just one store.
Unlike in Uzumaki Village, where he could rely on the Genin to deliver the cell phones, in Kazumachi City, Alex had no confidence in those people and there were only a few Uzumaki who could make deliveries, let alone those who knew the city well enough to know everyone's address to be able to deliver the cell phones, so sales had to be limited to just the store.
The advantage was that since Mia and Mio were only artificial intelligences, they could work 24 hours a day, so even in the early hours of the morning they could sell to people who wanted to wait until then.
They only needed an attendant to collect the money and hand over the phone while they concentrated on explaining everything to the customers and answering their questions, which increased the sales speed to 5,000 units per day.
At that rate, they would have sold phones to the entire population of the city in just one week.
And seeing how people responded to the phone and to Oasis and Pokemon, Alex knew the phone would be sold to everyone.
Just like in his previous world, where a person bought a new iPhone and liked to show other people that they had it, the same thing happened in this world.
When a person walked into a restaurant and put their cell phone on the table, everyone around them would be shocked and surprised by it, boosting the ego of the person who bought it and making it a luxury item for them.
For the Uzumaki who were still in their village, they were shocked to see thousands of new people joining them in Lobby 75!
For those curious people, after chatting for a while and realizing that they were in different cities and could talk as if they were in person, it was a complete shock to them.
It was even cooler than the phone calls!
Thinking of giving phones as gifts to family members who lived in other cities, people quickly asked Oasis support if they could buy more phones for these people who lived far away, and support replied that each person could only buy one phone, but after 7 days the store would make it available so that someone who had already bought it could buy a second unit, but with the limitation that they would have to sign a contract stating that they would not resell the phone at a higher price, which cut off the idea of many people trying to profit from this.
There were still people who wanted to resell cell phones, but they were quickly outlawed.
When people in Kazumachi Town found out that in Uzumaki Village, it was possible to buy cell phones on the Internet and have them delivered to their house the next day, they were jealous.
But more perceptive people realized something.
The citizens of Kazumachi who had eaten at a woman's restaurant in Uzumaki Village wanted to visit Uzumaki Village just to eat at her restaurant in person, so the smartest merchants saw the opportunity to open online stores, and they quickly rented stores in the Oasis as well.
Since the cost of an Oasis store wasn't very high and the cost of customization was low, the braver merchants bought Oasis stores to test.
With a world that was even more active in the early hours of the morning, and with the population of two cities, Kazumachi and Uzumaki, Lobby 75 became more and more lively.
People from Kazumachi City also started playing Pokemon, and it attracted a different kind of attention.
The city governors saw Pokemon as a way to get ninjas more easily!
Unlike ninja villages, where children with ninja potential were born every few years, in civilian cities like Kazumachi, it was very rare for children with ninja potential to be born.
Even if they had money, they couldn't buy such a child, but Pokemon was different.
As long as they treated these creatures with respect and affection, they would become great companions and defenders of the city.
Since their intelligence wasn't very high, they couldn't go out on their own, but protecting the city wasn't difficult! They could even do it with civilians!
So while the civilians of Kazumachi were focused on catching cute Pokemons like Kaito, the rulers of Kazumachi were focused on getting some Pokemons with decent fighting power for cheap.
Although the town had a population of 50,000, its sales and profits were much lower than those of Uzumaki Village, which had talented and powerful ninjas and sold seals to the entire ninja world.
So while Kaito weighed buying hundreds of Pokemon and focusing on the most talented, the rulers of Kazumachi focused on finding the few with the best cost-benefit ratio.
With the new large influx of people in the Oasis, the one who was very surprised was Ren Saturobi.
Even though he had managed to keep in touch with Emi over a long distance, he was still shocked that thousands of people from another city had suddenly appeared in the Oasis.
With the proof that even though Emi was very close to Konoha, he was still able to keep in touch with her, he knew that the Internet would really work all the way to Konoha.
But seeing these thousands of people gave him a new perspective.
First of all, it was obvious that Alex didn't care about them and went to sell the cell phones in another town, which gave him a sense of urgency since Alex was now selling them in a civilian town, but what if the next town Alex went to was actually Cloud Village? Wouldn't that be a catastrophe for Konoha?
Secondly, seeing the thousands of new people interacting with the Uzumaki in a friendly way, Ren saw the possibility of hundreds of thousands of people from Konoha entering this oasis and interacting with people from other ninja villages.
How would that happen?
Would they fight in the oasis? Would they use it to gain more information from other villages through new means of espionage? Would they act peacefully in the oasis?
All this made Ren extremely confused.
Since he was in a situation he had never imagined, his simple mind couldn't even imagine how the people of this world would act.
[I have arrived in Konoha, Captain!] Emi sent a message as soon as he had passed through the village gates.
Great, now I just have to talk to the Hokage and explain to him about the cell phone and how it can change the world. I hope he realizes the value of this thing...' Ren thought nervously, afraid that Hiruzen wouldn't realize the seriousness of this matter and wouldn't give it the importance it deserved.
Not only was the cell phone a powerful tool for transmitting information, but what he had seen in the Pokemon world couldn't be ignored... something like that had to be available in Konoha!
