Chapter 50: You Call This 1%?
He left the manga company and returned to his rental house.
Ren Amamiya indifferently opened a can of food for Pochita.
Then he sat in front of the computer desk, lost in thought.
What happened today means that Ren Amamiya has one more task in his daily routine:
going to Hyperion Game Development, where Haruto Yamamoto works daily.
To be honest, it's not a big deal.
Anyway, he's idle every day.
He has very little time for drawing manga.
Even after finishing a chapter two or three times a week, he starts to feel bad on the remaining days.
Those days are too boring.
So much so that he hasn't even finished "Edgerunners".
He drew another "Chainsaw Man".
"Edgerunners" is serialized up to episode 15.
But Ren Amamiya's manuscript of "Edgerunners" is already at episode 34.
The plot, in fact, reached the middle of the ninth episode of the original drama.
That is, at most five or six chapters are left to finish "Edgerunners".
But it may be because, when a hobby becomes a job, people lose interest.
It may also be due to Ren Amamiya's interest.
In short, Ren Amamiya was inspired again and drew "Chainsaw Man" without finishing "Edgerunners".
But life is still quite boring.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Sakura's and Ayumi's daily requests to go out.
And now, dedicating himself to developing games is, in reality, his whim.
For Ren Amamiya, everything interests him.
Even using games to demonstrate his ability interests him.
There is also the request to develop games without salary, but in exchange for dividends.
In fact, in exchange for dividends, it seems that if the game investment is too large, resulting in losses, or if the profits are extremely low, he will suffer great losses.
Ren Amamiya fully trusts that he has the System's help. How could he invest over 1 billion yen to produce a semi-finished product like the stupid Polish donkey when developing a game?
Don't you dare imagine trying to reduce the cost using tricks? Then it's better not to use this trick! As long as the cost is reduced, there's also the reputation bonus for the first 3A masterpiece in Japan's history.
Will there be losses, or will there be no money? You should know that "Black Myth", from his previous life, was known as the first 3A masterpiece in Japan's history and has attracted quite a bit of attention and popularity.
Although it hasn't been released yet, its sales are unknown.
But when "Black Myth" was released, it was as complete as the advertising, and it was also extremely playable.
Will sales be low?
The same goes for "Cyberpunk 2077". This year, it is promoted as the first 3A masterpiece in Japan's history.
Even if it's a semi-finished product like "Cyberpunk 2077" from his previous life, the Japanese people will probably destroy it and pay for it.
What's more, Ren Amamiya fully trusts that he has the System's help.
The development of "Cyberpunk 2077" will be practically perfect!
The question is how much confidence the System inspires in him!
But, in fact, no matter how high the net dividend is, it's useless to him.
After all, what does Ren Amamiya do with so much money in this world? He has no family or anything. Perhaps he'll find a way to go home after completing the System's task.
So, why accept so much money?
Yes, why? Ren Amamiya didn't know. Perhaps he was born to love money.
He unconsciously chose the option that would benefit him the most.
After all... who doesn't like money?
Even if you earn it and put it in the bank to generate interest, that's good too!
Ren Amamiya, Ge You, slumped in the computer chair, and after a long while...
"System!"
Soon, the System's virtual screen appeared before him.
It's still the same. The plot of "Edgerunners" is still uncertain.
He's still an unknown, so the three tasks are still stagnant.
Only the progress of the impression task has increased a little.
[Show Your Advantage: Let one hundred people know your name and have a deep impression of you, current progress is 21/100 (200 points)].
Before, only 14 people were impressed by him, and now it's 21.
It's estimated that he demonstrated his holiness in front of people just now, so Haruto Yamamoto, Kenji Nakamura, and others present remembered him.
But it doesn't matter.
"System, we agreed that the next skill, how about you give me a master-level programming skill?" Ren Amamiya asked.
Haruto Yamamoto commented that his company has plenty of illustrations and models.
As for the plot, Ren Amamiya only needs to follow the plot of Cyberpunk 2077 that he remembers after it's recorded on his hard drive.
As for the financial investment, Haruto Yamamoto said he would handle it.
The only problem is programming.
[Game Lord] This platinum-level skill definitely cannot solve all technical problems.
Then Ren Amamiya must have a complete programming skill!
"Master-level skill, at least after completing the fifth stage of the [Born with Talent] task, please try your best to complete it."
The System's cold voice appeared.
Ren Amamiya was stunned for a moment: "No, System, are you plotting against me? It wasn't agreed upon like this at the beginning!"
Without master-level skill, how could he solve others' technical problems?
[Game Lord] is just a comprehensive platinum-level skill, equivalent at most to a senior national programmer, and there's still a long way to go from the stupid Pole's lead programmers.
However, at that moment, the System continued to say coldly: "The host can purchase or extract three diamond-level game development capabilities related to this aspect and then use the System's fusion and strengthening section to fuse and strengthen to master-level skill with 3,000 points."
"Or you can directly use the System's fusion and strengthening section to spend 1,000 points to strengthen and upgrade the [Game Lord (Platinum)] skill to diamond level, and then use 10,000 points to try to strengthen and upgrade the corresponding diamond-level skill to master level."
"Extract and strengthen with fusion?"
Ren Amamiya's eyes lit up. "System, you'll help me, right?"
"The System will only act when the rules allow. Extracting and strengthening with fusion is risky. Please use them with caution."
However, the System remained impassive.
Upon hearing this, Ren Amamiya wasn't very confident about the System.
"Then try to draw..."
He scratched his head. "Drawing requires 500 points? 1% chance of diamond skill? The probability of drawing a master-level skill is only 0.06%?"
"Forget it, let's try it first."
Ren Amamiya drew it directly.
However...
"Congratulations to the host for winning the diamond-level skill [Mathematical Pearl]."
Ren Amamiya's eyes widened. "A shot hit the target, you call this 1% probability?"
