Is this mangaka crazy?

"Huh?"

Haruto Yamamoto blinked, obviously not expecting Ren to be so direct.

"Huh, what? You're not going to say you just went crazy, decided to buy the copyright for my game, and came directly to negotiate?" Ren said unhappily.

At that moment, Ayumi, Takeshi Kimura, and the others were stunned.

Is Ren that rude? He directly started questioning the other side's boss?

Even if a normal person questioned it, they wouldn't be that rude, would they?

That's the other side's boss!

Takeshi Kimura winked at Ayumi, obviously intending for her to persuade Ren to control himself.

Then, sweating, he was about to get up and explain to Haruto Yamamoto, hoping his counterpart wouldn't get angry.

But at that moment, Haruto Yamamoto frowned slightly, but he wasn't angry.

Instead, he replied to Ren: "No, we actually already have a plan and our development department has held a meeting."

"We have decided to create a 2D action game based on Edgerunners. The main gameplay... let our game department head tell you."

Haruto Yamamoto looked at one of his Mediterranean-haired employees. From his hairstyle, it was clear he was an experienced programmer.

But what he didn't notice was that Ren frowned upon hearing the word "2D".

"Hello, Amamiya-san. I'm Kenji Nakamura, director of the development department at Hyperion Game Development."

He greeted him first, then said: "It's like this. The game we plan to develop based on Edgerunners is called "Cyberpunk 2077"."

"We've discussed it, and the setting is Night City in the future, 2077, where Edgerunners is located. This won't change..."

"Actually, there's no need to say that."

However, Ren stood up and shook his head, saying: "I think the game you're going to create doesn't meet my psychological expectations."

"Amamiya-san!"

At that moment, Takeshi Kimura couldn't sit still. He looked at Ren and frowned.

Haruto Yamamoto took a deep breath, and he was also vaguely angry at that moment.

Although he really likes Edgerunners.

Love is a hobby, and work is work.

Ren was so disrespectful that it made him a little angry, even if he liked Edgerunners.

"Amamiya-san, if you have any ideas, you can say them directly. There's no need to directly refuse."

Takeshi Kimura also suppressed his anger and said.

"I'm sorry, I know everyone has worked hard."

At that moment, Ren seemed to realize that what he said was a bit rude and spoke.

"But the game your company wants to create doesn't meet my psychological expectations, because the "Cyberpunk 2077" I want is a 3D action RPG, and it's also a 3A masterpiece."

He looked at Haruto Yamamoto and the others and said.

"And what you want to do seems to be an online 2D game, but the setting follows the setting of my work. The game itself should be similar to games like Kingdom of Heaven."

Ren shrugged.

Kingdom of Heaven is, in fact, the poisoned milk powder of this world. The gameplay, character professions, and equipment systems are all similar.

Haruto Yamamoto and the others immediately frowned. Ren was right.

They wanted to reproduce a game like Kingdom of Heaven from the beginning, but the setting, character professions, and equipment systems have become high-tech versions of cyberpunk professions.

For example, the ghost swordsman becomes a melee sword prosthetic, the mage or elementalist becomes a hacker school, etc.

Not to mention the equipment, these modified prosthetics are very diverse, and there are even firearms and the like, characteristic of cyberpunk games.

Their game development department unanimously believes that this is a good adaptation idea, and can be considered an innovation.

However, Ren now seems completely dissatisfied. What he is looking for is a 3D game or a 3A masterpiece?

You should know that 3A masterpieces are not actually a specific game genre.

This is a foreign term.

Instead, it generally refers to large-scale, high-cost, high-volume, and high-quality standalone role-playing or first-person shooter games. The term is an informal standard for judging the scale and quality of game production.

In other words, Ren is looking for a high-quality 3D action game that meets his psychological expectations.

However, the high cost, large volume, and high quality of 3A masterpieces make it not an easy game to create.

It requires a lot of manpower, money, time, and resources!

"If you just want to acquire my copyrights and create a game that easily makes money, I advise you not to think about it," Ren said calmly: "I will not allow this to happen."

"Amamiya-san..." Takeshi Kimura was furious.

Ren's intention was, obviously, to cut everyone's financial resources. If the cooperation failed, they would lose a copyright fee...

Well, for the manga industry, it was acceptable.

But who doesn't want to earn more money?

Takeshi Kimura didn't quite understand Ren's idea.

At that moment, Kenji Nakamura, the head of the development department, finally couldn't help himself.

He looked at Ren sarcastically and said: "Do you know what a 3A masterpiece is? It's so easy to say that a 3A masterpiece can be developed whenever you want. Do you know how to program? You're just talking."

"I'm afraid you'll never be able to create a game in your life, let alone the 'Cyberpunk 2077' you have in your head."

He looked at Ren complacently, thinking that his words would undoubtedly have an impact and embarrass this arrogant mangaka.

However, Ren looked at him and said: "Who told you I don't know how to program? Who said I can't create games?"

Kenji Nakamura and everyone present were stunned for a moment.

However, Kenji Nakamura reacted quickly and scoffed: "What are you boasting about? Do you know how to program? You're not a C language expert, are you?"

Everyone present couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Ren was boasting.

After all, how can a mangaka have great painting skills and write code?

Ayumi couldn't stand it at that moment and was about to go over to hold Ren back.

At that moment, Ren looked at Kenji Nakamura, shrugged, and took out a hard drive from his pocket.

This was a "small game" he had temporarily prepared in the past few days.

Based on Pira's death battle, combined with the game settings from his previous life, "Cyberpunk 2077", an "independent game" was created.

Similar to the demo battle scene of "Black Myth: Wukong" from his previous life, it is very short, but it can be seen that the degree of completion is abnormally high.

However, the System still helps, mainly because it is similar to the GPT function, which saves him a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, with his platinum-level [Game Lord] skill, he achieved it in a short time.

"This is my handmade Cyberpunk 2077, you can take a look," Ren said.
