Chapter 32: The Buttons

Rowan had kinda mixed feelings.

He had been really kind of crying and laughing, but after thinking about Mason's words carefully, he had a bit of a moment of realization.

He had been wondering why he always wanted to dig up the videos Selene posted and watch them over and over again, watching them several times.

Even if it was just watching an orange cat eat, he could never tire of it.

Originally thought he simply liked cats, but ...

He clearly knew in his heart that Selene's cat was herself, and Selene's face would come to his mind every time he saw the orange cat's soulful eyes.

She had eyes that could talk, and that point was the same even if she turned into a cat.

So that's how it was.

... Is that like?

Rowan had no way of describing exactly what it felt like, but then again he instinctively knew it wasn't the kind of liking that came from liking cats, or painting, or fishing.

"What would you do if you realized you liked someone?"

Mason was still shattered when all at once he saw the text appear on the tablet.

"Eh." Mason was stunned for a moment, then showed a serious thinking expression.

After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly, "It depends on the situation."

"For example."

"First of all, are you friends with that person?"

"I think so."

"Oh, that's better." Mason nodded, then looked up again and widened his eyes, eyes full of disbelief, "What? How come I didn't know you had any friends of the opposite sex?"

Rowan: "..."

"There are a few same-sex friends, but those are the fishing guys you go fishing to meet and the flower friends, right, wait ... the guy you said you liked wouldn't be in there."

Mason said more and more afraid: "Brother you awake point, even if you like men, but also have to choose unmarried young brother it, those are a handful of years old uncle."

"..."

Sparing Rowan's emotional stability, he felt like he was going to give Mason a whole lot of instability.

Seeing the condemning look in Golden Hair's eyes, Mason finally reacted.

"Ahem." Mason also felt that his guess was a bit off the mark, and awkwardly averted his eyes, "That's not it, I haven't seen you contacting any of your sisters in all the time I've lived here ah ..."

"Wait a minute." Mason as if he suddenly thought of something: "What you like shouldn't be ..."

Rowan thought that Mason guessed it was Selene. His heart was instantly nervous and missed a beat, but he heard Mason say ...

"Secondary characters, I guess! Let me guess ... if it's Seraphine.I remember she was the main character's friend in the game."

The more Mason thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right: "This kind of is much better, you like it, so you can draw a homage to her and buy a hand puppet, hey, I also like it, brother, if you draw a homage to it, remember to share it with me ..."

Rowan: "..."

He was wrong. He shouldn't have asked Mason this kind of question. The guy has no experience in relationships himself. He's not reliable at all.

"That's right, you guessed it, I'm going to dinner."

Golden Hair instantly jumped off the computer chair and directly walked towards the outside of the study, only leaving Mason with an indifferent back.

Mason shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Men and whatnot, they really can't escape the temptation of a papery wife."

As for Selene, Mason did not think about it, but immediately he ruled out this option. Selene sister just moved over how long ah, he can too understand his brother, especially slow to warm up a person, the time it takes to make friends that are to be years as a unit, these two can not be friends.

-It's not possible for them to be friends.

The Pampered Pets factory almost worked overtime to make the first batch of sound buttons in two days, but only for cats for the time being, and a little bit later for dogs, as the mold dimensions were still being adjusted.

Selene got the samples from the factory almost at the first time, a whole big box with 20 sets of sound buttons for cats, a set of 15 buttons, all of them can be customized voice buttons, and each set comes with non-slip pads and stickers.

Not only is the exterior of the vocalization buttons different from the foreign ones, even the internal structure has been changed a lot.

About the design of the button, Emily discussed with her for a long time. The foreign one is equipped with a WIFI base station voice board, which can be used together with the cell phone APP. If it is completely imitated from there, the cost and time will increase.

But according to Selene's own experience, she feels that the function of networking is actually not so important. Why not replace it with a built-in speaker, as long as the matching recording module is available at any time to cover the replacement can be.

The most important thing is the strength of the spring, neither too light nor too heavy, too heavy animals step on very laborious, too light and easy to accidentally touch, this needs to be grasped.

The color of the buttons is also Selene's color palette, carefully selected from the color palette inside the cat's eyes in a few conspicuous and comfortable colors.

Under Selene's suggestion, the sound button made by Pampered by Pets looks like this.

To Selene's surprise, Emily made a charging port for the buttons, so that even if you don't have button batteries at home, you can charge the buttons directly with a usb cable.

Such a set of lovely shapes, exquisite workmanship of the sound button price is still one tenth of the original foreign price.

Selene immediately began to write the live text. One of the twenty sets of buttons is to give one set to Sophie, the rest of the set to keep. The other eighteen sets of buttons will be put into two batches in the F station and Weibo lucky draw, for the Pampered Push buttons to do a wave of pre-sale pre-sale fever.

Thinking of this, Selene called Emily again.

"Hello, Emily."

Emily was now a little nervous when she saw Selene calling. This girl had too many ghost ideas. She really didn't want to negotiate with Selene. It was headache-inducing.

"Selene, did you get the button? Any problems?"

"Yeah, received it, the stuff is pretty well made." For something satisfactory, Selene didn't mince words of praise, "I'm calling you because I want you to be able to have the employee in charge of the online store operation open a pre-sale link and send it to me now."

"Pre-sale link? The kind that makes a deposit to place an order?"

"Yes, my side is ready to upload the button teaching video, the evening live broadcast and then do a period of vocalization button related answers, by the way, the product link to hang up, by that time, your side can also be based on the number of bookings to plan the production."

"Right, remember to set up a coupon and use it to offset the final payment."

"... Okay, I'll let someone get it now."

Hanging up the phone Emily was still in a bit of a trance.

Emily thought she was very efficient, but she didn't realize that a mountain is still higher than a mountain. Selene's efficiency in doing things is simply not like a person.

Doesn't she even need to sleep?

-Selene hangs up the phone.

Selene hung up the phone and got busy.

If she didn't have to turn into a cat, it would be easier, but now, she had to help Faye to write the script in advance, which was still quite difficult.

Since she didn't know what the audience would ask, she could only try to think of as many questions as possible and write down the corresponding answers.

After doing this, she still had to debug the buttons, record the words on the buttons that Pampered Delight had sent over. They were live streaming the bandwagon, so she definitely had to use the product, and incidentally, she also had to test how long it would take for the buttons to charge.

At this point, the human form has pretty much done what it needs to do, but there's still the cat form that needs to do what it needs to do.

After she turned into a cat, Selene used the Pampered Pussycat button to record a word-teaching video for her cat, which was roughly the same as that kind of English word-teaching, that is, pressing the button and then translating the meaning of the human words from the button in cat language.

Through editing, she added this bit to the back of the video she was going to send.

When she was done, she uploaded the video to the F site and posted a "live in two hours" message.

With the release of Selene's new video, the "Pet Communication Button" has once again reached a new level of popularity.

The video, titled "Cat Teaching Classes Start! The video titled "Cat Teaching Classes Started! Call Your Cat to Learn Foreign Languages" reached the number one trending video on Station F an hour after it was released, and gained a great deal of discussion, with the comment section of the video being unprecedentedly lively.

[Selene did say she was going to put out a button instructional video, but isn't this instructional video too hardcore ...]

[What I thought was an instructional video on buttons: people teaching cats, is actually an instructional video on buttons: cats teaching cats, which doesn't seem to be a problem when you think about it]]

[It's normal for cats to teach cats, right? I'm the one who's not normal, right?

Can I send my cat to Selene's house for a lesson? I think Mr. Orange's teaching skills are very reliable.

[There's even a serious human language lesson at the back of this ... I don't have a cat, so if you have one, call your cat to come to an online class.]

[Ha ha ha ha ha God damn online class]

[Teacher, I haven't bought the teaching tools yet, where can I buy them, I'll buy a set for my son Han] [Reporting teacher, I haven't bought the teaching tools yet. Where can I buy them?

"Buttons can be purchased at sea, but they're a bit expensive, 2,000 for a set.

I'm sorry, I can't afford it. You can't go to class.

"It's not a big problem, look at the lucky draw on the hour, there seems to be domestic buttons, I just don't know how much they cost.

[Well, the domestic buttons that appear at this time, I suspect that it is a leek cut]

...

Along with the microblogging hot search words and phrases are more several, which # orange teacher # and # cat also have their own online class # these two words and phrases directly on the high level of hot search.

-

At nine o'clock in the evening, Selene and Faye went on air on time.

Just as Selene thought, after the "Cat's teaching class" was sent out, everyone's appetites were whetted, and all sorts of questions related to the button were asked right away.

The pop-up screen was scrolling rapidly. Faye took a general look at it Basically, it was all about vocalization buttons. She rationalized her thoughts, then picked up a button and started to introduce it.

"That's right, this is a domestic button, it's made by Pampered, what I have in my hand at the moment is a sample sent to me by the manufacturer, I used it today and the quality is still very good, look at it you guys."

Faye finished putting the button in front of Selene.

The orange cat tapped the button with her paw.

"Orange."

"You guys see, the button is the perfect size for kittens to press, and the weight is perfect, Orange made a sound with a gentle press ... The word is certainly not fixed, and it's easy to change it out, so I'll demonstrate."

The operation related to the buttons, Selene had also taught her carefully, so Faye was now confident.

Only to see Faye press towards the button's record button, took out her phone and typed a word, tapping the AI to read it aloud.

Then she let go of the recording button, pressed the button again, and the sound from the button changed from "orange" to "Selene".

It's very convenient! The sound quality is good too!

[Fuck, you can charge the batteries if you're too lazy to put them in, it's a very user-friendly design.]

[This plastic material looks quite thick, not inferior at all, worthy of being spoiled]

[I'm more concerned about the price, I remember that Pampered Plush toys are not cheap, this button is so well made, it won't be about the same price as the original P's, right?

Even if it's half the price of the original, I still can't afford to buy it. I guess only the cat of a rich woman can speak human language.

Faye saw that the pop-up screen was already discussing the price of the buttons, and hurriedly opened her mouth, "I've already asked the manufacturer about the price, a set of fifteen buttons, priced at two hundred, but now there is a pre-sale activity, pointing at the link below the live broadcast can jump to pay the deposit, and you can receive a 10% discount coupon for the final payment in our live broadcast, which works out to be about twelve dollars for a button. "

[Oh wow, the deposit is only ten dollars]

[Did I hear you right? This is too cheap, one set is equal to one button in P's house]

Okay, I've got the coupon. I'm going to pay the deposit.

"I thought it was a cut-rate deal, but I didn't realize it was so cheap.

"Fuck, I'm going to return the order. I just went to the P's website to place an order.

"It's a good price, it's not very technical, I don't know why it's so expensive.

Don't rush to buy, wait for the party to never lose. I believe there are other factories to do, it may be cheaper.

[Laughing, you'll have to wait until the end of time, haven't you noticed that everything related to pets is much more expensive than people's stuff on the market?

[Can we sell this in pieces? 15 is too many at the beginning.]

Faye answered some simple questions and then turned the camera to the button area.

This was part of Selene's plan. After all, no amount of talking was more effective than actually using the product on camera.

"And now it's still time for the Cat Translator segment, drawing three lucky viewers today."

...

Today's live broadcast was relatively long, one person and one cat broadcast for a full two hours before going off the air.

As soon as she turned off the live broadcast system, Faye collapsed in her chair.

"Too tired, this thing of anchoring isn't something that anyone can do ah, if it wasn't for these few days of vacation, I really couldn't hold it up."

"Tough on you."

Selene jumped on top of her sister and pressed her shoulders with her paw for her.

"Hahahahaha ... don't press, your little bit of strength is about the same as scratching. By the way how many of those goods did you sell? The manufacturer is counting money with you according to sales, right?"

"Let's see."

Selene clicked to the backstage and started to check the sales, only to find that the data showed that in just these two hours, the number of people who paid for orders from her live stream exceeded ten thousand.

"Over 10,000 sold."

Faye didn't quite understand whether that number was high or low, and just asked suspiciously, "So how much do you get paid for that volume?"

Selene typed a few words.

"If none of them are returned, it should be a little over seven hundred thousand dollars by current math"

Faye's eyes widened, "Are you kidding! In such a short period of time?"

"I'm not kidding, just do the math and multiply it by 0.4."

Faye instantly figured out the exact number in her head, but she still felt that she had miscalculated, so she pulled out her phone, clicked on the calculator, and carefully did the math again.

Finding that the result was still correct, it was that number.

Faye was silent for a while, then raised her eyes to the orange cat on her lap and cautiously asked, "Sis, are you sure that this unit of settlement of yours should be RMB, not some Zimbabwean dollar, right ..."

Selene: ...
