Chapter 679 Tokusatsu is all about selling toys
The next day.
Commuters and students alike open video websites as usual, and everyone sees the newly trending content at the top of the homepage:
The video, titled "Lava Monster Outpost Battle ~Super Galaxy Season 1 Machine God, Additional Combination!", co-created by Magical Girl Fox Fox Official and Magical Girl Aki Katsura, has seen its popularity soar. It only took two hours from release to reaching the top of the charts, and the number of views reached an astonishing number thanks to the combined efforts of fans from both sides.
This naturally attracted the attention of many casual observers. After seeing the mecha battle cover with its tokusatsu style, they clicked in out of curiosity, thinking it would be a youth-oriented X-class team or something similar to X-Man. However, most of them left a thumbs up when they saw the mecha combination shot, which was filmed in one continuous shot by the cameraman.
[Nobody told me it was this cool before I clicked on it], comments like these were common in the comments section.
With such realistic footage, the transformation and combination of steel vehicles, and the mysterious, unknown network quality that allows for smooth viewing of ultra-high-definition videos on any device and network in Xinyuehu's video account, the number of fans skyrocketed.
"This should cover up the truth that Miss Qiugui and the others are trapped in the world of mental images."
Around noon, on the villain's rooftop, Su Tianqing was checking on the work of the Palu familiars who were in charge of editing, and muttered to herself.
Besides doing the daily work that villains do every day, he also has to check how many views the video he released today has reached, and share the good news with Qiu Gui and the others in the Mind World who probably just woke up.
"This fox is just too busy," Su Tianqing thought to herself as she chewed the gum in her mouth.
With the powerful addition of Iris Flower as an additional warrior, Qiugui's combined mecha has seen an unprecedented boost in combat power: its mobility has decreased slightly, but its firepower has been super-doubled, and it can unleash brand-new ultimate moves by carrying a magic cannon on its shoulder. As an additional combined mecha, it is definitely strong enough to last at least two episodes before the finale.
"But... it's still not enough..."
The golden-haired fox girl muttered to herself, then casually waved her Heart Moon Magic Wand, summoning a familiar that pulled out a thick ancient book of secrets from its magical space and began to peruse the stack of information pages that had already accumulated to a great height.
Yue Tianxin is currently still in the Mind World, taking a break from Bai Ling. However, the other reconnaissance familiars that she and Bai Ling brought into the Mind World are diligently gathering intelligence. They have already basically figured out almost all the types of monsters to come and the monsters hiding behind the scenes.
With the intention of having fun, Su Tianqing did not examine the true strength of these monsters in detail. Instead, she started with the parameters that Qiu Gui had set when designing them and deduced the possible minor adjustments that might be made later.
Thanks to Qiu Gui's efforts, as the number of monsters decreased, she gradually regained control of the mental world. Although it was only about 75% at present, it was enough for her to carefully adjust the mental rules according to the instructions given by Benhu, so that the tight schedule of having a monster causing trouble every 12 hours would no longer occur.
Moreover, staying up late to broadcast live these past two nights has really drained my energy. Even my cat seems listless and is currently sleeping soundly next to me, hugging her fox tail.
Starting tomorrow, let's adjust the schedule so that we appear at a set time after dinner every day. During this time, we'll also have the opportunity to let Qiu Gui and the others have the freedom to create and complete the movie they originally planned to make in their mental world.
Although the film script has changed from a youth film that "describes the growth and development of a magical girl team" to a tokusatsu film that "fights monsters and protects the city", Aki Katsura herself seems to like this change very much, so let's just go with the flow.
After all, they traded so many rare and limited-edition items for a Mind World experience card from the dog. I'm not some kind of spoilsport villain; I always keep my word and offer full after-sales service. When it comes to keeping my word, I'm absolutely top-notch in the industry.
"...Kitty, are you awake yet?"
Feeling the catgirl loosen her grip on the fox's tail and sit up, Su Tianqing shook her tail a few times and turned to look at the person next to her.
Nan Jiayu leaned back in her chair, half asleep, and mumbled a few unintelligible words to herself. Seeing that she was about to fall asleep again, Su Tianqing quickly reached out and pressed her down, pushing the sleepy cat back onto the sofa.
"You can't sleep anymore, kitty, you've already slept for ten hours."
"I'm still a little sleepy... Hmm, I'll go wash up then."
Slightly roused, the catgirl stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop. She filled a small basin with water at the sink and began her full routine of brushing her teeth and washing her face.
Su Tianqing also got back into work mode and asked the catgirl who was washing up:
"Kitty, would you like to go to the world of imagination and become a side warrior with Qiu Gui and the others?"
"Stand outside the restaurant? What's that?" The catgirl answered unclearly with a mouthful of toothpaste foam in her mouth. She spat out the foam and repeated herself before it was clear to understand.
Su Tianqing patiently explained, and although Nan Jiayu looked confused after hearing "a combined warrior that appears in addition to the regular five-person group", she still tried her best to understand what the fox girl was saying.
"Let me think about this carefully... Hmm... So, Qiu Gui and the others' combined mecha can actually carry more things?"
"That's right." Su Tianqing nodded with a smile.
"How about I contact Qiu Gui and the others and ask you, Maomao, to find a chance to be a guest star in the side story warrior? Maybe you can even have your own exclusive combination mecha form."
"Let's forget it. I'm not very good at piloting mechs..." Nan Jiayu shook her head with a wry smile. "Besides, if I join in, I can't exactly have Qiu Gui and the others fight monsters with their fists."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense..."
With a rational analysis, Su Tianqing temporarily shelved the idea of having her cat make a cameo appearance and turned her attention to the other people.
But if you were to ask why I'm thinking so seriously about the side story warriors and additional warriors today... well, that brings me to a confidential commission that I negotiated with the Hero Association on behalf of Akiho:
【Super Galaxy Seasons Machine God ~Toy Project~】
When talking about tokusatsu (special effects) films, the sale of toys is inevitably a topic of conversation.
Not only transformation devices, but also belts and transformation cards, etc. And as a tokusatsu series of combination mecha, there must be another important thing - selling mecha model kits!
"I plan to introduce another side story warrior at the end, so that we can create a powerful ultimate form combining mecha. As long as Qiu Gui and the others can successfully complete the movie filming, we can take advantage of the movie's popularity to promote this toy series—"
Thinking of this, the fox girl showed the product promotional page she was editing for that evening's live stream to Nan Jiayu, who had walked back and was looking at her curiously.
On the screen is a beautifully packaged plastic box. Through the transparent packaging, you can see the neatly arranged vehicles of the Autumn Osmanthus Squad inside, and next to it is the packaging box for the Iris Flower's additional cannon vehicle... as well as a concept image of the transformed and combined form.
"So, what do you think? Doesn't this toy series look really cool?"
The fox girl wagged her fluffy tail, revealing a joyful and expectant smile.
