Time Magazine and Magical Girl Catherine Chapter 41

  On August 12, 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began. This was also a sign that the Cold War had reached its peak.

  However, this did not affect Catherine's film being introduced into Europe and what impact it had in West Germany.

  To be exact, Catherine's box office is still pretty good.

  No matter what, Catherine has finally reached the time to show off her skills, but just at this moment, Time Magazine came knocking.

  In the 21st century, Time magazine is known to all and familiar to everyone.

  Catherine became excited after learning about this matter.

  But she soon calmed down.

  And she soon found out, perhaps this was also an opportunity.

  These days, Catherine has been busy.

  It's a hassle to acquire Barbie company, it's better to build a toy factory yourself. Even if it doesn't work out, you can just create Transformers instead.

  Catherine plans for this factory to be a manufacturer of TRPG game war chess pieces.

  It's not just Harry Potter, Catherine has even considered other games, these are the things she thinks about.

  The rules for the mass version have been completed, and the basic models of characters and monsters have also been built.

  So far, however, the places designed by Catherine are only Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, plus the underground city and the Forbidden Forest below.

  But with experience, things are much easier to do, so the professional version is actually quite simple.

  And also GameTV.

  GameTV is about to open a brand new market, everything is ready, and Catherine's application materials for the company are also ready. The only thing left is the final step, and at this time, Time Magazine comes to interview herself, what a great opportunity!

  So, on the eve of the new semester, Catherine accepted an interview.

  The reporter who came was a woman of about 38 years old, looking very approachable... perhaps the people at Time magazine thought that a gentle woman would be better with small children?

  Anyway, the interview started like this.

  Of course Emma is now staying with Catherine, after all, there must be a guardian.

  Catherine's parents were also very surprised.

  However, compared to before, he can be said to have already developed some "immunity".

  It was they who accompanied Katherine to register the patent for integrated circuits at first.

  Imagine when your 10-year-old daughter is proudly showing off in front of you a high-tech patent that even you can't quite understand, what kind of expression would the parents have?

  Fortunately, Catherine showed extraordinary maturity from an early age, as evidenced by her earliest AP scores.

  "Miss Kate, I've done a lot of research on you before coming here. I found that you're a very mysterious girl, maybe just like your name suggests, you're a magical girl."

  "Doesn't 'Magical Girl' sound like a good title?"

  Catherine and her opponent started joking around.

  "In my investigation, you seem to have some very... unusual patents at the patent office. Especially for integrated circuits. It's said that two years ago, Texas Instruments and Fairchild were on the verge of a lawsuit over this thing, but they found out that the patent had already been registered by someone else, apparently at a time when Fairchild had just been founded. You must have been about ten years old then?"

  "Yes."

  Catherine seemed to recall something from back then.

  "Xian Tong company did come to me, but I temporarily authorized this patent for free use."

  After all, although I have this patent, I must not hide it, otherwise I will become a sinner who hinders the progress of history. Moreover, Catherine herself also hopes to play with computers as soon as possible.

  Although it seems incredible that a ten-year-old girl owns an integrated circuit patent, Catherine's free license has helped them a lot.

  Perhaps because of the absence of disputes with Texas Instruments, the decade-long lawsuit in history seems to have not occurred, and the development of this company appears to be better than "before".

  "Then I found out that you wrote a book called 'Harry Potter', what was your initial intention when writing this book?"

  "At that time, I was thinking, is the world really like what we imagined? Why have magic and those things never appeared? So, I fantasized about a world with magic, what it would be like. And I also made a game to match this book, I'm considering releasing it later."

  The other party nodded.

  "I also knew this, it seems to be a type of TRPG game? I heard that the demo version of this game was given away with the deluxe edition of 'The Prisoner of Azkaban'? To be honest, I am also one of your loyal readers."

  The journalist in front of him is actually his book fan?

  This is really fun.

  "Yes, I originally planned to release this TRPG in September or even earlier. But now it seems that time is no longer available."

  "The Blair Witch" was shot really well.

  "No, actually there wasn't much time for filming either, I was mainly doing something else."

  "What?"

  “GameTV！”

  The real show is about to begin.

  Catherine led the other party to her own room, and then Catherine took out the latest model of GameTV she designed.

  This is already the final version.

  "That's it!"

  "This..."

  The other party seems to be quite puzzled.

  Catherine turned on the TV and plugged in the controller, switching to game mode. A colorful Emma block game appeared on the screen.

  "This is an electronic game. In my opinion, the direction of our future entertainment will continue to move forward in a virtual direction. From such electronic games to simulated games, we can do anything without leaving home!"

  "Sounds... really good."

  What is an electronic game?

  Even in 1960s America, most people had no idea what it was.

  Anyway, Catherine successfully attracted his attention, and by the end of the interview, she knew she had succeeded.

  However, Catherine did not focus on GameTV next. After all, it takes a lot of investment to produce GameTV. She just decided to build a good company first and plan everything well... until the real production starts, which will be at least next year. On the other hand, developing TRPG is much simpler.

  Catherine temporarily shifted her gaze to "Harry Potter".

  Even the name of that toy company is called "Hogwarts".

  This is currently the focus, Catherine is now mainly "attacking" this area.

  As if on cue, Time magazine's interview with Catherine had a headline that was also quite amusing.

  "Magical Girl Catherine?"

  Catherine is really frustrated.

  But come to think of it, isn't this what I said myself?

  ……

  As a person with a slight habit of nitpicking, I can assure you that all historical data has been thoroughly researched.
