Time has entered October, and the first "Sorcerer's Stone" of "Harry Potter" is officially on sale, but the sales volume is not very good, it can only be said to be reluctant.
Catherine was not in a hurry. Although the history of "Harry Potter" is indeed suspected of hype, there is nothing to be hyped, and the "Harry Potter" series published in 1997 has taken the world by storm. How long was the total time spent?
At least until the second and third books are published, this book may slowly become popular.
And the times have changed. In the United States in 1960, the aesthetics were somewhat different from that of the 21st century. Although Catherine modified some of the plots to fit the times and modified some of the original texts that made her feel uncomfortable. So, in this era when there are no video games, what can a 12-year-old girl do to make money?
Petroleum?
That's right, it's really profitable, but you can't make money when you're small, but when you're bigger, wait for it to be "bankrupted."
Singing?
Her voice is very good, and she can sing very well, but she was a sound idiot in her last life. She couldn't even understand the staff, and she didn't know what would be popular in the future. However, she knows some melody very well, such as "Soviet March" and "Chinese Army Soul", but these songs are sung...its pure pain.
"Well, it would be nice if there were computers in this era." Catherine couldn't help but sigh.
Catherine finally entered the gymnastics club, and after the training, she returned to the bedroom.
"Yay!"
As soon as she entered the room, she heard Lily's joyous cry.
Looking again, the two girls in the dormitory next door are in their dormitory, with writing in front of them.
"What are you doing?"
"Play Monopoly."
Catherine nodded.
American Parker-Brothers released Monopoly on November 5, 1935. Later, the copyright of this game was acquired by Hasbro which sold Transformers.
Catherine took off her coat and rushed onto the bed.
"Kate, I think you'd better change your clothes and take a shower."
"Well, let me take a break first."
Catherine wears a training gym suit. When she is at home, she often doesn't bother to change clothes, and sometimes uses this gym suit as a pajama.
Although Catherine will feel uncomfortable and want to take a bath once she sweats or gets dirty, maybe because of her physique, she rarely sweats, so most of the time, she lay lazily on the bed.
"Huh? Monopoly?!"
Catherine looked at the chessboard on the table, something suddenly occurred to her.
A-game.
To be precise, it should be a game of the ancestor of most of the later games-Dungeons and Dragons, or DND for short. And it will be awkward, she really got in the fire. It is also a problem.
This is a tabletop game, just like Monopoly. In the future, most computer games will be based on this background, such as "Never winter City" and the more famous "World of Warcraft". Although the latter is only a reference, it is enough to illustrate its influence.
The emergence of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is the opportunity for the birth of the famous Dungeons and Dragons rules, but it will take ten years before it will officially appear in front of people.
Why don't you take this path yourself?
Catherine jumped off the bed, her face full of excitement.
At this time, the girl next door also went back, leaving only Lily and Catherine.
"Kate, I find you really look like a kid sometimes."
Lily stood in front of Catherine with her waist in her arms.
What are you kidding? Our mental age is much older than you!
She seemed to have noticed Catherine's "disdain" expression, or Lily felt that Catherine really needs to be educated, she said: "Kate, girls can't be so casual. Look at you, if you get caught what if people see it?"
"It's uncomfortable to control facial expression, and it's inconvenient to go to the toilet to practice."
"Oh, yes, I'll go to the clothing club!"
While talking, Lily suddenly stood up.
"what's happening?"
"I promised Lisa to take pictures for her. You know, a model can't do without a good photographer."
"Oh."
Catherine didn't know anything about clothing design. In fact, although she knew some of the American fashion trends in the 1960s, it wouldn't work for her to distract her from making clothes. In her opinion, clothing from the 1960 s, is too old-fashioned, the only contribution of the clothing industry of this era is to create sharp clothing such as miniskirts.
In fact, what Catherine wants to do most is the software industry. She even bought some semiconductor components produced by Fairchild to get something, but the semi-finished product is probably still in her room.
"Kate, do you want to take a look together?" Lily invited Catherine.
"Okay."
Anyway, Dungeons and Dragons, the innovative work of the board game, will not appear until 10 years later. Although I am a little stuck on this matter now, it has no impact on my plan.
