Is this mangaka crazy?

"Don't celebrate yet."

However, Ren looked at him and said.

"Huh..."

Everyone present was stunned.

They believed the matter was settled.

Especially Takeshi Kimura, who thought this cooperation would undoubtedly fail.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it would succeed this way.

However, at that moment, Ren suddenly said: "Don't celebrate yet."

This made his heart skip a beat.

"Amamiya-san, do you have any other requests?" Haruto Yamamoto asked, also stunned.

"If I join the game development, there must be requirements."

Ren scratched his head and said: "Originally, I just sold you the copyrights. Now we are working together to develop the game. Isn't it normal to have requirements?"

He looked at Haruto Yamamoto in surprise.

'This guy, does he think I'll work for him for free?'

"Yes, yes."

Haruto Yamamoto also suddenly understood.

Yes, if Ren joins the game development.

Isn't that equivalent to joining his development team? Even if it's a cooperative development, he still has to pay him a salary, right? "So, what do you want, Amamiya-san? If it were me, I could offer you 500,000 yen a month, plus all the benefits of our company's formal employees. What do you think?" Haruto Yamamoto said with a smile.

500,000 yen a month is already the limit for programmers.

If you are not a senior programmer, you cannot get that salary.

Haruto Yamamoto is extremely sincere.

However, Ren shook his head.

He looked at Haruto Yamamoto: "First of all, I don't want a salary, and second, I only want the net profit dividends from the game "Cyberpunk 2077"."

Upon hearing what Ren said, everyone present was stunned.

Haruto Yamamoto, a little stunned, frowned.

But Ren continued: "This request is not too much, I only want a 10% dividend of the net profit." If this game does not generate profit, I don't want salary or anything, okay? "

"I don't want to take advantage of you; if it doesn't generate profit, I won't get a single cent."

Haruto Yamamoto frowned instantly.

Yes, Ren wants the net profit dividend from "Cyberpunk 2077".

Not the revenue dividend or sales dividend.

This means that if "Cyberpunk 2077" does not generate profit after deducting the cost,

Ren will not receive a single cent.

Ren repeated: "Originally, I planned to sell you the copyrights of "Edgerunners" for free. I joined with the copyrights, but considering that the copyright fee is shared with Akatsuki Cultural Company, forget it.

Suddenly, Takeshi Kimura and the others felt relieved to hear this.

"So I can only be considered a shareholder with technology."

Ren said: "Again, if there are technical problems, I can solve them."

"If I can't solve any technical problems for more than a month, I won't collect the dividends, okay?"

Haruto Yamamoto heard this and felt that Ren was too confident.

He couldn't help but wonder why Ren was so confident.

And with Ren's great confidence and the fact that he had already proven himself,

Haruto Yamamoto decided to believe him.

But he smiled and said: "Amamiya-san's last words are too serious. There's no need to be like that. As long as the game is successful, it's natural for Amamiya-san to receive the dividends."

"But isn't 10% too much?" Ren asked, shaking his head and replying firmly: "It's not little. These are pure dividends, and I can offer my help to solve technical problems, including most of the configurations and modeling of game development. It's really not little."

Seeing this, Haruto Yamamoto stopped objecting.

"Then, discuss the new contract. Two contracts: one for the acquisition of copyrights and the other for our company and Amamiya-san to jointly develop games," Haruto Yamamoto said with a smile.

The original contract definitely does not fit the current situation, so they need a contract with new content.

They also need to sign a contract to co-develop the game "Cyberpunk 2077" with Ren and share the resulting profits.

"By the way," Ren said, "I won't be a 9-to-5 worker, and no overtime is allowed unless there are technical problems."

"So I won't go to work on time or work eight hours a day like a social animal in your company. At most, I'll go to your company one or two hours a day." "But I can work from home. If you don't understand something, you can contact me online," Ren said indifferently.

He really doesn't like going to work, and his main job is still mangaka.

However, the game "Cyberpunk 2077" is just a passing hobby.

He won't dedicate himself to creating video games in the future.

"This..."

Haruto Yamamoto hesitated again.

But at that moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, as long as the game can be developed, Amamiya-san, you can be anywhere!"

The daily development work is undoubtedly something that Haruto Yamamoto cannot do,

and it doesn't matter. The most important thing is whether the technical problems Ren mentioned can be solved.

Just as Ren said, he can solve technical problems naturally.

Then, the cost and development time of "Cyberpunk 2077" would be greatly reduced.

And if it could be solved, what's wrong with these talents having privileges?

"Don't worry, you'll never lose money."

Thus, Ren satisfactorily signed two contracts with Haruto Yamamoto and his company.

The contract not only stipulates relevant cooperation aspects but also some additional restrictions.

For example, Haruto Yamamoto and his company must develop the game with the corresponding copyrights of "Edgerunners" to turn it into a 3D action role-playing game.

In the development of "Cyberpunk 2077", more than 100 million yen will be invested.

Ren also has restrictions. First, he must participate in game development, and second, he must cooperate with the manga industry to promote it.

As for the copyright contract, in fact, the current value of "Edgerunners" copyright is not very high.

Haruto Yamamoto only spent less than 2 million yen to acquire the copyrights for the game adaptation.

It's really outrageous to look at it that way. For a work whose copyrights are not very high,

to turn it into a game costs hundreds of millions...

"Alright, the contract is signed."

Ren waved his hand and left his name on the contract.

Haruto Yamamoto looked at it and felt there was no problem.

He smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust, Amamiya-san... But I have a question for Amamiya-san."

"What's the question?" Ren asked curiously.

"In fact, I'm a fan of Edgerunners. When I talked to my friends before, I heard that Edgerunners would end in 40 episodes at most."

Haruto Yamamoto asked: "And what will the sequel be like? Who will David and his enemies be?"
