Roaming through the world of Doraemon

Just as Nobita and Doraemon were discussing what to do with their first manuscript fee, the doorbell rang repeatedly at Nobita's house.

"Who is it? Why does it always come at this time?" Nobi Tamako complained impatiently as she was cooking in the kitchen when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

Although Nobi Tamako said that, as a qualified full-time housewife, she still put down the kitchen utensils and walked towards the door.

"Mrs. Nobi, I am Yamaguchi Ikjun. I am very sorry to bother your family so late. The main reason for this visit is to thank your son for his outstanding contributions to our Manga Magazine. I am here on the editor-in-chief's instructions to discuss the future development of the Naruto manga with your son."

When Yamaguchi Isshun saw that Nobi Tamako opened the door with a somewhat unpleasant expression, he bent down and softened his tone to explain to her in a gentle voice.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yamaguchi, for taking care of my son, Nobita. Please wait patiently in the living room while I go and call Nobita down." Nobi Tamako saw that Yamaguchi was speaking to her in a humble tone, and since it was for the sake of her child, she didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she replied to Yamaguchi in a gentle tone.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Madam!" Yamaguchi Isshun was led by Nobi Tamako towards the living room.

"Nobita, we should have some guests. Could it be from the Comic Magazine? I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. Does that mean we'll be rich soon?" Doraemon, sitting next to Nobita, seemed to have heard the commotion downstairs and said to Nobita.

"It must be the magazine company. Soon you'll have an endless supply of dorayaki!" Nobita chuckled as he looked at Doraemon beside him, who was staring at him like a hungry cat.

"Haha, Nobita, hurry up and go ask them when they'll pay the first payment for the manuscript. I can't wait! Oh, and here's the medicine in this doctor's briefcase. You can use this to put the medicine in your eyes when I go to the Future Department Store to buy that gadget." Doraemon smiled and took out several tubes of white medicine from the doctor's briefcase and handed them to Nobita.

"Hmm, what kind of potion is this?" Nobita took the potion that Doraemon forced on him and examined it, noticing that six large characters were written squarely on the tube.

"Superpower Culture Medium".

Chapter Thirty-Three: Decision to Adapt into Anime

Superpower Culture Medium?

Nobita watched as Doraemon took out a tube that looked like eye drops from the doctor's briefcase. It turned out to be a superpower culture medium. What kind of gadget is this that needs to be used to lay the foundation before it can be used?

"Doraemon, what is this superpower culture fluid?" Nobita asked Doraemon, puzzled, while holding the superpower culture fluid.

"This superpower culture fluid is an essential ingredient for using that gadget. Otherwise, even if you have the gadget, it won't work. Try applying this culture fluid to your eyes for a while to get used to it. Once the gadget arrives, it will immediately help repair your eyes!" Doraemon explained to Nobita as he put the doctor's briefcase on the tatami mat into his four-dimensional pocket.

As Doraemon explained the effects of the superpower culture fluid, Nobita couldn't help but wonder if the treatment for his eyes was related to this eye drop called the superpower culture fluid? Or did he need to train superpowers to change the condition of his eyes?

"Nobita, Mr. Yamaguchi is here looking for you. Come downstairs quickly!" Nobi Tamako called upstairs from the stairwell after settling Yamaguchi Isshun down.

"I'm coming down, Mom." After hearing Nobita's voice, Nobita put the superpower cultivation fluid in the second drawer of his desk, locked it securely, and called out to Nobita downstairs.

"Yamaguchi Isshun just signed a copyright entrustment contract with me a few days ago. I didn't expect him to come so soon. The magazine must have seen the market value of Naruto and sent Yamaguchi Isshun to win me over. I hope I don't switch to the shonen manga side." Nobita walked up the stairs, pondering Yamaguchi Isshun's purpose in coming this time.

"Master Nobita, I've been waiting for you! Please have a seat." Yamaguchi Isshun saw Nobita coming down from upstairs and quickly stood up to greet him.

Looking at Yamaguchi Ichishun's swift movements, Da Xiong couldn't help but sigh at how smooth the Japanese were in their dealings with people. This grown man actually came to greet his child, who was also so old. The last time he came to the house, he called him "teacher," but this time, because of Naruto's achievements, he shamelessly called him "master." Water that is too clear has no fish, and a shameless person is invincible. Businessmen really can do anything for profit.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, you're too kind. My Naruto magazine has been doing quite well, hasn't it?" Nobita said with a grin as he looked at Yamaguchi Isshun, who had stood up.

"Yes, Master Nobi, your Naruto has greatly boosted our magazine's sales. I'm here on behalf of our editor-in-chief to discuss the future development of your work and to pay you your royalties for this period of time." Yamaguchi Isshun respectfully took out a green bankbook from his briefcase and placed it on the table in front of Nobita.

Nobita picked up the passbook that Yamaguchi Isshun had placed on the table and looked at it. He was surprised that the anonymous passbook he had asked the Manke magazine to open had actually been opened. The magazine, backed by Fuji Television, really had some influence. He just wondered how much Manke would pay him for this issue.

"Ten million, isn't that too much?" Da Xiong opened the passbook and saw a long string of zeros, with seven zeros after the number one.

"Not much. If we calculate based on the contract's increase, this number is correct. These past few days, thanks to Master's Naruto, our magazine has sold so well. As long as Master is here, I believe our magazine will definitely surpass shonen manga and defeat that kid Xuan Yu Saito." Yamaguchi Ikjun explained to Nobita with a gentle smile when he saw Nobita's surprised look after opening the bankbook.

"By the way, didn't you guys want to develop the copyright for the sequel to Naruto? What are your thoughts?" Nobita asked with a slight smile as he put away the green savings book.

"Last time, Master said he wanted to develop Naruto into an anime. Our magazine has already spoken to Fuji TV through our connections. As soon as Master's anime is made, it will be broadcast on Fuji TV during prime time, allowing people all over the country to experience the charm of Master's anime. In addition, we hope that Master will authorize us to develop Naruto merchandise. For this, we guarantee that the rights we offer are absolutely irresistible to Master."

Yamaguchi Isshun confidently explained to Nobita the magazine's decision to adapt Naruto into an anime and discussed the development and expansion of the manga with Nobita.

It seems that Manga Magazine has secured sufficient resources from its parent company, Fuji Television, otherwise they wouldn't have allowed Fuji Television to broadcast their own Naruto anime. It's worth noting that Japanese television stations nowadays typically purchase the rights to produce their own shows; they haven't reached the point where they allow outsiders to produce shows, purchase the rights, and air them during prime time.

As for the Naruto merchandise development rights, they have finally caught the eye of the Comic Magazine. At first, it wasn't that Nobita didn't want to sell, but selling too early would have resulted in a significant loss of profits. Now, as long as the price is reasonable, it's not a bad idea to sell.

"What price are you planning to offer for the copyright to my merchandise?" Nobita asked tentatively, trying to gauge Yamaguchi Isshun's attitude.

"Here's the thing, Master, we've decided to link your merchandise copyright fees to your manga sales. The better your manga sells, the higher our share of the merchandise revenue will be. As long as your manga continues to perform like this, your copyright fees will never stop." Yamaguchi Isshun took out a new contract and explained this highly flexible contract to Nobita.

Volatility-based range contracts?

Nobita picked up the contract provided by Yamaguchi Ikjun and examined it. Indeed, this kind of contract was very flexible. As long as your grades were good, you could make a fortune. If your grades were bad, you would only be left crying. It seemed that this contract was not so easy to get. Comic Magazine had figured out that they had me cornered. Although the contract was like this, Nobita felt that he would not lose out by signing it. If Naruto was not going to work, then there would be no successful manga in the world. If it really flopped, he still had two other popular manga, and even the best-selling Dragon Ball in history. He was sure that he could blow up the world and make them all look foolish.

P.S.: I went out to meet up with my buddies today. I'll be writing from midnight until tomorrow morning to make up for it. If you see this, please bookmark it after midnight to help me climb the weekly bookmark ranking. I'm incredibly grateful! I thank you all with tears in my eyes. Also, while Nobita was very grateful for the part about selling the copyright, just think of Shin-chan as a kid.

"Okay, I'll sign this contract."

After reviewing the contract that Yamaguchi Isshun had sent, Nobita readily agreed to Manke's cooperation request. This 50/50 contract was all the better for him. Judging from the success of Naruto in his previous life, Manke magazine might regret giving him such a large share in the end.

"Thank you, Master Nobita, for choosing Manke Magazine. Our magazine will provide you with the best promotional plan for related merchandise. We will definitely not let your masterpiece be ruined. Also, once your animation is finished, please mail it to our magazine. We will have a specialist to handle your animation work." Yamaguchi Isshun respectfully explained Manke Magazine's promotional plan to Nobita after he agreed to sign the contract.

"That's settled then. I'll leave things to Master Nobi today. I have something to attend to, so I'll be going now." Yamaguchi Isshun picked up the contract that Nobita had signed and stamped, bowed to Nobita again, and said gratefully.

"Mr. Yamaguchi, if you have something to do, you can go ahead. I won't keep you. Take care." Nobita saw that Yamaguchi Ikjun seemed to want to leave, so he didn't insist on keeping him. After all, he had just received ten million yen, which meant that many gadgets were no longer just a dream for him and Doraemon.

After watching Yamaguchi Isshun leave home, Nobita took the savings book given to him by the magazine and went back to his room to stand next to Doraemon.

"Nobita, did the magazine pay you for your articles?!" Doraemon's first thought upon seeing Nobita come upstairs was whether the magazine had paid him for his articles, showing his greedy nature.

"Doraemon, guess how much Manke gave us this time? Ten million, a full ten million yen!" Nobita looked at Doraemon's hopeful face and took out his bankbook from his pocket and put it in front of Doraemon.

"What?! Ten million!" Doraemon picked up the savings book on the tatami mat, opened it, and was immediately shocked by the number on the book. At that moment, Doraemon seemed to see dorayaki and gadgets growing little wings and flying towards him. It felt so real, so blissful.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

Nobita felt truly comforted watching Doraemon jump up on the tatami mat. After working so hard in this world for so long, he had finally received his first payment for his writing. With this money, he could do so many things, and finally buy Doraemon gadgets. Since coming to this world and spending so much time with Doraemon, Nobita had come to understand that everything before him was not a comic book, but a real, flesh-and-blood world. And through his unremitting efforts, he was changing Nobita's future and his own.

"Nobita, with this money, I can buy lots of dorayaki and gadgets! I can even buy those really powerful gadgets! Haha, I'm going to the Future Department Store right now to buy the gadget to cure your eyes!" Doraemon, holding a savings book with ten million dollars, couldn't wait to drive the time machine to the Future Department Store to buy gadgets for Nobita.

"Can't the Time Vending Machine work?" Nobita asked, puzzled, looking at Doraemon's anxious expression and recalling the Time Vending Machine that Doraemon had brought back not long ago.

"Nobita, the Time Vending Machine can only buy items under one million yen. For items over one million or even ten million yen, it's best to buy them at the Future Department Store. Items bought from the Time Vending Machine generally don't have after-sales service and are usually of slightly lower quality. The item to improve your eyesight would cost five million yen. Think carefully, I think it's better to buy it at the Future Department Store."

Doraemon, after hearing Nobita mention the time vending machine, explained its advantages and disadvantages to him in detail.

Listening to Doraemon's explanation, it seems that the Time Vending Machine is just like cheap roadside stalls and online shopping without after-sales service, while going to the Future Department Store is like buying high-end, large items with a three-guarantee system. The future timeline is so similar to the real world. It seems that no matter how times change, some things still exist.

After Doraemon finished explaining, he still took the savings book to the Future Department Store to buy gadgets. Watching Doraemon use a 20th-century savings book to buy things in the 22nd world, Nobita really couldn't understand what Doraemon was thinking. Maybe Doraemon had his own way in the future. I remember there was an episode in the original story where Nobita wanted a bicycle but his family didn't have the money, so Nobita and Doraemon secretly saved their father's salary and then went to the future to withdraw it. I just don't know if Doraemon used the same method.

However, considering that the gravity regulator Doraemon bought for himself only cost 700,000 to 800,000 yen, it's truly outrageous that Doraemon is now buying a gadget to improve his eyesight for 5 million yen. In Nobita's eyes, a gadget like the gravity regulator is already incredibly powerful, so the effect of a 5 million yen gadget must be described as magical.

Thinking about the superpower culture fluid that Doraemon took out when he treated himself with the doctor's suitcase, it seems that this gadget is also related to superpowers. However, thinking about the superpower gadgets in the Doraemon manga, there are really not many useful ones. Each one is very energy-consuming and easy to cause accidents. I wonder which one Doraemon bought?

The days of waiting didn't pass quickly as he pondered them, and before long, the drawer of Nobita's desk was opened.

"Nobita, I bought it! I finally bought it!" Doraemon jumped out of the drawer and ran to Nobita with great joy, as if he had won the lottery.

"What gadget did you buy that makes you so happy?" Nobita asked, puzzled, looking at Doraemon who was so happy he looked like he could fly.

"Superpower Set! I finally got the last Superpower Set! I've wanted this item for so long!" Doraemon took a well-packaged gift box out of his pocket and placed it in front of Nobita.

"The Superpower Set contains two items: a Superpower Training Box and a Superpower Hat. Both items function the same, but one is for training and the other for everyday use. The Superpower Training Hat allows you to use telekinesis, X-ray vision, and teleportation, but these abilities are weak, and you might even cause an accident if you're distracted. The Superpower Training Box is similar to the Superpower Training Hat, but it's primarily for training these three superpowers. If you consistently train for three hours every day, you'll be able to use these abilities proficiently in three years, and your eyesight will also improve." Doraemon and Nobita discussed the effects of the Superpower Set with great enthusiasm.

"What? Three years!"

P.S.: After working late into the night, I've finally made it to the first page of the favorites list! There's still a bit of a distance to go before it reaches the top ten, but I hope everyone can help me climb a little further. Favorites, flowers, tips, reviews—everything is so important to me! This is my final push before it goes on sale, so please help me!!!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Superpower Training (Second Update, Begging for Favorites and Ranking!!)

"What? This superpower training takes three years!"

Nobita listened as Doraemon explained that the training with this superpower training kit would take three years to show any results, and that he would probably really have to have surgery by then. Such an expensive superpower training kit was such a rip-off.

"Nobita, although the Superpower Training Box takes three years to learn, we can use the Superpower Training Hat. Besides, it doesn't necessarily take three years to learn the Superpower Training Box." Doraemon patiently explained to Nobita, holding up two gadgets from the Superpower Set.

Looking at Doraemon's superpower hat with fingers that look a bit like a melon rind and his box-shaped superpower training box, to be honest, Nobita really didn't want to wear the superpower hat on his head because of its ridiculous appearance. With a big, bent finger, anyone who saw it would think that Nobita was wearing the hat to be funny.

"Are this hat and training kit useful?"

It wasn't that Nobita doubted the usefulness of these two expensive gadgets; it was just that the people of the future had made hats in such a morbidly funny way. They had turned ordinary hats into comical props. Why didn't the people of the future make some superpowered hats shaped like top hats or cowboy hats? Nobita really couldn't compliment the aesthetics of the people of the future when he saw those hats with giant fingers on them.

"It will definitely work. Although the superpower suit comes with a superpower hat, the superpower training box is the real key to healing your eyes. Once you train to the highest level with this item and become proficient in using the abilities in the superpower training box with your eyes, your eyes will be healed." Doraemon, seeing Nobita's doubtful and distrustful look, demonstrated the superpower hat and superpower training box to Nobita.

Doraemon took the superpower hat from the tatami mat, put it on his head, closed his eyes, and "whoosh" disappeared in front of Nobita.

"This is teleportation?"

Nobita watched as Doraemon put on the hat for only a second or two, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Although Doraemon was using a super-powered hat made in the future, it still felt a little unscientific to Nobita. A living, breathing person had simply vanished in an instant.

"How about that, Nobita? Were you scared? This is the teleportation of the Super Hat. As long as you wear the hat and concentrate, you can do it too. However, I hope you can train properly with the Super Power Training Box. After all, the Super Hat's function is very weak. I only teleported downstairs just now. The Super Power Training Box can really help you. Only when you control your superpowers will they become your own and no longer be restricted by the gadgets. Only then will your eyes be truly improved."

Doraemon took off his superpower hat from his head, put it in his pocket, and said to Nobita earnestly.

Seeing Doraemon's unusually serious expression, Nobita clearly understood that the Superpower Training Box was crucial for him. Only by mastering his own power could he become a true strongman. He didn't know if people in the future all had superpowers, but this gadget was more than just healing his eyes and mastering a skill; it represented hope for him.

"But Nobita, you don't need to worry. When I went to Future Department Store to buy the superpower set, I took the training time into consideration. With this item, your training time will definitely be greatly reduced."

As Doraemon spoke, he took out the canned food that he had given to Nobita before and placed it on the tatami mat.

"Canned Food Workshop!"

Nobita asked in surprise as he looked at the familiar gadget Doraemon had taken out.

"Yes, this is the Canned Food Workshop. You forgot that time inside the Canned Food Workshop is different from outside. One hour here is equivalent to twenty-four hours outside. Time flows twenty-four times slower here than outside. As long as you seriously train your superpowers in this Canned Food Workshop, you can basically master superpowers in a very short time."

Doraemon took out the large wrench from his pocket, pried open the seal of the canned food workshop, and jumped inside with Nobita.

"Come on, Nobita, first put some superpower culture solution in your eyes, then put on the superpower hat and concentrate on trying out the feeling of superpowers." Doraemon took out the superpower culture solution and superpower hat that Nobita had put away and handed them to Nobita, indicating that Nobita should first sense the feeling of superpowers.

Nobita took the superpower cultivation fluid given to him by Doraemon and dripped it into his eyes. Instantly, Nobita felt a cool sensation in his eyes, as if they had been frozen. Then, his mind became completely clear, and in an instant, it felt as if the liquid had emptied his entire being.

After dripping the superpower potion, Nobita put on the superpower hat. After putting on the superpower hat, Nobita immediately felt that his perception range had expanded to the entire studio. At this time, even if an ant was walking in the studio, Nobita could clearly sense the ant's movement trajectory.

"Instant teleportation!"

Nobita's senses spread to the edge of the studio. Thinking about moving his body to the place he sensed, Nobita leaned forward and instantly moved from his original position to the other side of the studio.

"I actually succeeded?"

Nobita opened his eyes and looked at his hands in disbelief. After all, no matter how magical Doraemon's world was, such surreal skills were truly amazing to an adult who had grown up under the red flag and received a good ideological education.

"Yes, you just did a near-perfect teleportation. Now try your other two abilities." Doraemon sat down in front of him.

On Nobita's workbench, watching Nobita perform the teleportation move, someone encouraged him.
