Time has entered October, and the first volume of "Harry Potter", "The Philosopher's Stone", has been officially released. However, the sales volume is not very good, it can only be said to be barely.

Catherine was not in a hurry. Although the history of "Harry Potter" was indeed suspected of hype, it could not be hyped without something. Moreover, the "Harry Potter" series published since 1997 has become popular all over the world.

How long did it take in total?

At least until the second and third books are published, this book may slowly become popular.

And times have changed. After all, the aesthetics of the United States in 1960 are somewhat different from those of the 21st century. Although Catherine modified some of the plot to fit the times and modified some parts of the original text that made her feel uncomfortable and awkward, it is really popular.

It's still a problem.

So, in this era where there are not even video games, what can a 12-year-old girl do to make money?

oil?

Yes, it is indeed very profitable, but if you do it small, you won't make any money. If you do it big...then just wait to be "bankrupt".

Sing?

She has a good voice and sings well, but in her previous life she was a music-deaf person who couldn't even read musical notation. She has no idea what will be popular in the future. However, she does know some melodies very well, such as "Soviet March".

"Soul of the Chinese Army", but singing these songs... is just a pain in the ass.

"Oh, it would be great if there were computers in this era." Catherine couldn't help but sigh.

Catherine finally entered the gymnastics club, and after training, she returned to her dormitory.

"yeah!"

As soon as she entered the house, she heard Lily's shouts of joy.

Looking again, the two girls in the next door dormitory were in their own dormitory, writing something 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 threw herself on the bed.

"Kate, I think it would be better if you change your clothes and take a shower."

"Well, let me take a rest first."

Catherine was wearing gymnastics clothes for training. When she was at home, she was often too lazy to change clothes, so she sometimes used the gymnastics clothes as pajamas.

Although Catherine would feel uncomfortable and want to take a shower once her body became sweaty or dirty, but perhaps due to her physical condition, she rarely sweated, so most of the time, she lay lazily on the bed.

"Huh? Monopoly?!"

Catherine looked at the chessboard on the table and suddenly thought of something.

A game.

To be precise, it should be the game that was the ancestor of most subsequent games - Dungeons and Dragons, or dnd for short.

This is a tabletop game, the same type as Monopoly. Most computer games for a period of time will be based on this background, such as "Neverwinter" and the more famous one is "World of Warcraft".

Although the latter is just a reference, it is enough to illustrate its influence.

The emergence of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was the opportunity for the birth of the famous Dungeons and Dragons rules, but it would take ten years to gestate before it would officially appear in front of people.

Why don't you take this path yourself?

Catherine jumped out of bed, her face full of excitement.

At this time, the girl next door also went back, leaving only Lily and Catherine.

"Kate, I find that you are really like a child sometimes."

Lily stood in front of Catherine with her arms crossed.

Are you kidding? Our mental age is older than yours!

Seemingly noticing Catherine's "disdainful" expression, or Lily felt that Catherine really needed to be educated, she spoke: "Kate, girls can't be so casual. Look at you, you are not even wearing underwear. If you are

What should people do if they see it?”

"It's uncomfortable to wear underwear, and it's inconvenient to go to the toilet."

Catherine wore crotchless pantyhose with her underwear on the outside.

The original purpose of the invention of this kind of pantyhose was just to make it easier for girls to pee. They wear these pantyhose first and then their pantyhose. This way, they don’t have to take off and put on the pantyhose when they come back, so it is also very convenient for children to wear. And girls

The nails are long and can easily scratch the socks when taking them off.

However, in order to save convenience, Catherine directly wore the jumpsuit as underwear when changing into gymnastics clothes - the crotch of the gymnastics clothes was very wide anyway - hence Lily's current statement.

And when dancing and training, Catherine really felt uncomfortable wearing underwear.

Of course, except at this time, she would never forget her underwear. After all, she didn't want to play with "vacuum". Although it looked interesting, she had no interest in it now, probably because of her lack of development.

The world you see is what your heart is like. Who said this? In short, Catherine thinks it's pretty good.

"Well... this is convenient." She lay on the bed comfortably.

"Girls should be dignified!" Lily was about to say something when she suddenly looked at Catherine and started to think deeply. She thought for a while and then took the camera on the table.

"Click."

The flash came on again.

"Huh?" Catherine turned around and saw Lily's half-smiling face.

"That pose just now was so cute."

"Let's not talk about it for now, Lily. I found a fun way to play."

Catherine is not sure whether rules like Dungeons and Dragons will be loved by people today. After all, the historical DND rules were only produced after the hippie movement, so there is no guarantee that they will not be influenced by the hippies.

However, trpg has a long history in Europe and the United States. Even if dnd is not popular, you can still come up with a more consistent rule.

After all, although there are trpg, there is no game as detailed as dnd that simulates the entire magical world.

She briefly explained the rules of this game to Lily.

The core of the DND rules is the dice, and all results are determined based on the dice.

"It feels good, but it seems a little troublesome."

Lily hits the nail on the head.

Yes, if you follow the original dnd rules, it is indeed a bit complicated.

After all, what Catherine knew was the later third version of Dungeons and Dragons. Before that, there were the first and second editions. Although they were not very famous, they brought opportunities for the development of Dungeons and Dragons.

.

Isn’t it possible?

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, anti-intellectualism is prevalent in this era, and a saying can illustrate this point.

"If you can boldly underestimate the IQ of Americans, you will succeed!"

Catherine now feels that she should infinitely underestimate the IQ of Americans...probably.
