Is this mangaka crazy?

"The System will not calculate the host, it will only design the best way for you to complete the task as much as possible and will grant tasks and rewards according to this method."

The System continued to speak coldly.

"By the way... System, what is the purpose of your existence?"

At that moment, Ren blinked and asked:

"Your appearance in my body must have some meaning, right? You want me to complete the task as soon as possible, what's the benefit for you?"

He was very curious.

What is the purpose of the System or the person who created it?

"The System has no benefit. The System's core code is to allow the host to complete a series of tasks as soon as possible without harming them."

The System replied bluntly.

'Is it just the code?' Ren understood. Driven by the core code, the System will try every means to allow him to complete the task.

But right now, he is stuck.

The main reason is that...

[Show Your Advantage: Make one hundred people know your name and have a deep impression of you; your current progress is 14/100 (200 points)].

Ren remembered that this task was better than the previous ones, [Nobody], [Fame], and other reputation tasks.

This reputation task had been stagnant for a long time.

The [Show Your Advantage] task is considered the second stage of the reputation task.

However, the reputation tasks have already reached the fifth or sixth stage.

If you think about it this way, there is a reason why this reputation task is stagnant.

It's not that "Edgerunners" is not famous enough to bring Ren fame.

He himself has not appeared in public even once.

Naturally, few people have a deep impression of him.

His task progress is stagnant, and the System must be heartbroken.

That's why, before, it was a little anxious and granted him the [Game Lord (Platinum)] skill.

If you think about it this way, the System is truly miserable.

As an artificial intelligence, it is forced to be with him, an unambitious guy, due to code limitations.

If the System really had its own ideas, I guess it would want to scold him, right?

"Then, System, I want to know, what is the final task?" Ren asked again.

"The final mission... create %&￥! The ninth work of the "Chaos Code" type and have it praised by 500 million people..."

"...have 100 million people know your name and have a deep impression of you."

"Show your talent and leave your name engraved in the history books of the world!"

The System's messy and cold voice left Ren stunned.

Create a ninth work of an unknown type and then receive praise from 500 million people.

100 million impressions are also required, and his name must be remembered by world history.

Damn it! In other words, to achieve reputation, the goal is to create at least nine works! It may still be limited to a certain type of work and receive praise from 500 million people.

These 500 million are already equivalent to the number of fans of the three major popular manga from his previous life, right? Think about it: it's not difficult; the most important thing is to create nine manga.

It is estimated that the requirement of 500 million people must be met by the end of the first manga.

Can "Edgerunners" really achieve that? The three major popular manga consist of only three parts. In addition, JOJO and Dragon Ball can be used to complete the list, but there are still several parts left.

"Attack on Titan" can be a hit, and "Chainsaw Man" also has that potential, but what's next? Furthermore, these long manga must be drawn in nine parts. Wouldn't he spend his life drawing? Let's not talk about that for now.

The second fundamental task of impression, to be honest, is to complete the first reputation task.

To impress 100 million people is no easy feat.

After the fame of the three masters of the three major popular manga, their names were known by more than 100 million people.

The most difficult is, in fact, the final [Born with Talent] task.

To leave a name in history...

Guigui, only a world-famous author can achieve this, right?

How can he, a mangaka, be so dignified? Unless...

But no matter what, the difficulty of completing these three tasks is extremely high.

Fortunately, there will be no punishment for not completing the System's task.

It depends on whether it is completed or not, purely on the will of the host Ren.

But...

"System, I really want to help you now, but... I'll do my best," Ren said.

He obtained the System's benefits, so naturally, he wouldn't just desire them without taking responsibility.

It's not good to be a mooch and want a commemorative arch.

He obtained the System and became famous, so don't worry about whether he wants it or not.

Ask him if he obtained the benefits.

So Ren felt obligated to complete the System's tasks, not just the benefits or the tasks.

"But, since it's like this, can you help me now?" Ren asked with a smile.

"What can the System do to help the host?" the System asked coldly.

Ren gave a mischievous smile and said, "System, can't you control the distribution of rewards?"

"Then you should also be able to control the mall's refresh, right?"

However, the System replied coldly: "No."

"But the System can control the specific skills synthesized by the fusion and strengthening function, and please note that the skills to be synthesized are affected in certain areas."

"Fusion and strengthening function?" Ren asked, stunned for a moment.

To be honest, he has never used this function since he obtained the System.

The main reason is fear.

In his previous life, he played Penguin Games for so long, and the strengthening and fusion functions were a real headache.

Either the equipment broke, or ancient treasures were fused.

So Ren always thought fusion and strengthening were absurd! But now that the System said it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

With the System behind the scenes, wasn't he like the lottery winner, predestined to win the grand prize?

"Okay! Wait for me to check the situation and then come back to ask the System for help!"

Ren rubbed his hands together, preparing to do a great job.

The System immediately withdrew.

Ren had an idea in mind. Wasn't it just to create the game "Cyberpunk 2077"?

Then he would go and see how strong the company that acquired the copyright was and what it lacked.

He directly used [Game Lord (Platinum)] to demonstrate his skills on the spot and took the opportunity to propose joining the game production team.

Upon his return, he would specifically ask the System to directly send him one or synthesize a relevant skill of at least diamond level.

He doesn't believe that with the System's cheats, the "Cyberpunk 2077" he created will still have many bugs.
