Chapter 389: Chapter 256: The Bearer of the Fragment Close at Hand_2

Once Mu You had all the equipment adjusted, he called all the Chocobos together, one by one brought them into the starting gates, and then conducted another running race without burdens.

With the help of professional equipment, this race was much more formal. Starting from the automatic gates, nine Chocobos ran two laps around the track, for a total distance of close to five kilometers. Cameras followed them throughout the run, until all nine Chocobos finally crossed the finish line in quick succession.

The LED screen also immediately displayed a slow-motion replay of the final crossing of the line, ordering each bird’s crossing time down to the millisecond.

With a camera in hand, Mu You captured some footage of every scene in the zoo.

He proceeded to do some video editing. Most of the animals were shown only in fleeting shots, maintaining freshness and suspense. He finalized a two-minute-long grand opening advertisement, which he posted on the pet shop’s app and his Bilibili account.

The pet shop’s app had 1.43 million registered users by now. Despite the rate of new registrations slowing down after the first wave, it was still increasing at around 100,000 per day.

While Bilibili required all videos to be approved, there were no limits in his own app.

As soon as the video was posted, the view count surged.

"It’s here, it’s here!"

"Opening on Saturday?"

"Finally opening, congratulations on your grand opening!"

"Oh gosh! The owner is amazing. I didn’t know you had so many magic animals in your shop!"

"It’s astonishing, feels like walking into a fantasy kingdom..."

"Opening tomorrow, right? I must go and show my support!"

...

Mu You had already discussed the issue of ticket sales with Lin Xue and Little Ya.

Due to their limited shop space and not having many animals, the number of visitors they could accommodate each day should not be too high.

After the discussion, the three of them set a maximum daily limit of five thousand visitors. They were to release a maximum of five thousand tickets daily, from eight in the morning till six in the evening, divided into five sessions, each session could accommodate up to a thousand people for two hours, somewhat similar to the movie ticket model.

As for the ticket price, it was set at 200 yuan each, whether for adults or children. Upon entering the pet shop, visitors could observe the amazing animals and, besides a few species, interact with and feed most of the animals.

By general measure, the ticket price was somewhat expensive. After all, the ticket was only valid for two hours and did not include the cost of feeding the animals or experiencing Chocobo rides.

However, considering that this was the first magic animal shop in the country and considering the current popularity of pet shops, many people should be able to accept this price, especially since tickets for the first few days were likely to sell out quickly.

Mu You chose the right time, and at twelve o’clock, he released one thousand tickets through the backend system.

The result left both Mu You and Lin Xue stunned.

Five seconds!

In just five seconds, the tickets were sold out!

It’s worth mentioning that this was the first time for this ticket system to go live, so there was no chance of any macros or scripts enhancing the purchase speed, which made the speed of sales unbearably high.

Mu You visited the forum on the APP and, sure enough, everyone was discussing the ticket sale that had just occurred.

"@Shop Owner, it’s time, why aren’t you selling tickets? You promised tickets would go on sale at twelve sharp!"

"????"

"Let me confirm this, were the tickets already released?"

"Seems like it..."

"I saw the ticket purchase button flash, but when I clicked on it, it wasn’t there..."

"Wow, is everyone’s hands speed so fast?"

"Ah... are there any more tickets? I wasn’t prepared earlier, can we try again?"

"If anyone got a ticket and wants to sell, please contact me, I will pay double the price!"

"I got a ticket, but it seems like we can’t resell..."

...

As he watched the chaos unfold on the forum, Mu You quickly used his shop owner’s account to explain the situation.

"There are still 4,000 tickets left. However, all the tickets are for specific sessions and each person can only buy one. Admission will be granted upon matching the ticket with your ID card, so there’s no chance of reselling. So please, check your ticket’s time. If you’ve bought the wrong one or if you can’t make it to the city tomorrow, please cancel your ticket. You can cancel your tickets anytime until one hour before the opening tomorrow..."

Upon hearing that there are 4,000 tickets left, those who were waiting for tickets heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, many of those who had rushed to purchase tickets, now understanding the rules, chose to cancel their tickets. After all, many people were not in the city, and the tickets had strict time limits and could not be transferred. If they didn’t cancel, the tickets would be wasted.

Following this, Mu You released tickets every half hour until three-thirty in the afternoon. In total, he put up eight thousand tickets for sale, including five thousand for tomorrow and three thousand for Sunday morning. As for the rest of the tickets for after that, he decided not to sell them for now, since he had to go fetch the animals on Sunday afternoon. Everything would be decided once he got back.

As expected, all eight thousand tickets were sold out almost immediately upon release. Many people who tried to get a ticket all day ended up not getting any.

His private inbox was flooded with countless messages urging him to release more tickets. But it was impossible, the shop could only accommodate so many people.

Once the ticket sales were settled, Mu You continued to work on the zoo’s facilities, staying busy until late in the evening.
