Is this mangaka crazy?

"System!"

Ren shouted, not caring about the Adam Smasher exploding on the screen.

During this period, Cyberpunk 2077 was released, and he also tried out this game he had participated in creating.

Indeed, its development level is very high, and it doesn't have any inexplicable bugs, so it won't affect the gameplay.

Cyberpunk 2077 itself, as long as it doesn't have many bugs, is of excellent quality.

Therefore, after its release, it was constantly praised by players.

It has only been online for a week and has achieved 13 million in sales, which is practically a success.

And thanks to Ren's decision, the development cost of Cyberpunk 2077 is not very high.

After all, he only seeks net profits. The engine was also independently developed by him and Kenji Nakamura. The salaries of Kenji Nakamura and other technical staff are not as high as those of top foreign developers.

The total development and advertising cost of Cyberpunk 2077 is only about 570 million.

It seems that Cyberpunk 2077 will soon recover its investment and start turning losses into profits.

By then, Ren will have another huge income.

But he doesn't care about that now. What he cares about now is...

In an instant, a virtual page that only he could see appeared before him.

"One million seven hundred thousand points!"

Ren's eyes were filled with excitement, "Wow! That's a huge sum of money!"

As expected, animation makes it easier to break out of the circle and become popular. In the last two weeks, due to the successful broadcast of the Edgerunners animation, his task progress has skyrocketed! Furthermore, due to the fact that internet development in this world is not as fast, and the foreign market has not yet been broadcast, the current popularity of Edgerunners has not reached its peak!

When it reaches its peak, he should be able to truly see what the system boss mentioned last time... the ultimate mission! Currently, with the efforts of the animation and games, the original work of Edgerunners has also become more famous.

At least the Republic and the foreign market together should have 100 million people.

After that, it depends on the filming of Chris Nolan's Edgerunners movie, and after its release, the movie will be used to influence the final mission.

To be honest, Ren is still a little worried.

After all, the final mission of 500 million people, hearing this figure of hundreds of millions, feels difficult.

Now I can only believe Chris Nolan.

After all, he had also been a fan of director Nolte in his previous life, and he must have had quite a bit of confidence in him.

At that moment, the doorbell rang suddenly.

"Ding Dong..."

"I'm coming."

Ren put away the system and ran to open it.

"Ayumi?"

Yes, it was Ayumi.

"Amamiya-sensei, excuse me."

Ayumi walked in quickly, and she was also quite familiar with Ren.

"What's up? Work?"

Ren walked in, poured Ayumi a glass of orange juice, and asked curiously.

Ayumi usually goes to work at these hours.

So, when she comes to see him during work hours, it's usually for official business.

That's why he asked.

"Yes, the company plans to hold another Edgerunners book signing in two weeks."

Ayumi said: "I came to inform you, sensei. It doesn't matter if you don't have time to refuse."

"It doesn't matter."

Ren said indifferently: "I'm fine now. You see, I play video games all the time."

The recent Edgerunners animation has become popular again. Naturally, it is very reasonable and normal for the manga world company to take this opportunity to organize another book signing.

He does not object to this type of commercial activity.

After all, it's about interacting with his own fans, why resist so much?

"Actually..."

Ayumi hesitated for a moment when saying this, but still added: "The company has heard about your current situation, Mr. Amamiya, so they have a suggestion... Mr. Amamiya, would you like to hear it?"

"What suggestion?",

Ren asked curiously.

"Amamiya-sensei, would you like to hire an assistant or something?",

Ayumi asked seriously: "Many great mangakas hire assistants to help them complete the drawing work."

"Sensei Amamiya is also a very good mangaka now. In fact, you could consider hiring one or two assistants to help you with your daily work."

"Huh?"

Ren scratched his head.

Whether in his previous life or in this world, he has always been a self-taught mangaka; that is, he is not a professionally trained mangaka.

Therefore, he has no idea about manga assistants.

However... hiring an assistant will save him a lot of effort.

So he tried to say: "Then, how about I... try to hire an assistant?"
