"Oh my god!"

Kenji Tanaka looked at the beautiful and uniform skipping stones in the video and couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration.

The most important thing is... there are so many skipping stones!

That's right, he is now watching the stone-skipping video that Ren posted on B Station. After recording it that day, Ren uploaded it directly to B Station.

And the video had no editing at all; the main feature was a single continuous shot.

Originally, in this era, there was no advanced technology for editing or faking videos.

Now that Ren has posted a single-shot video, no one has any doubts.

All the comments were:

"Holy shit!"

"Awesome!"

"Oh my god! You're serious!"

"I'd like to call you the god of water skipping!"

"Coach! I want to learn this!"

"Get lost! The coach wants to learn it too!"

"Cyberpsychosis! How scary!"

"Could it be that the old rogue Ren has installed a water-skipping prosthetic?"

"No, he's a water-skipping devil!"

...

The video attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was published, not to mention that Sakura used her authority to make it a hot topic.

In the last two weeks, this video of Ren skipping stones on the water has surpassed 10 million views!

The main reason is that, besides being a joke, it also has educational value.

Especially for men, who wouldn't want to learn a good technique for skipping stones on water?

Coupled with Ren's fame and influence, it's logical that this video would be popular.

After watching it, Kenji Tanaka also opened the manga magazine he had just bought.

He hadn't watched Chainsaw Man in the last two weeks, mainly because he was hooked on Cyberpunk 2077 and couldn't put it down.

As a player, he dedicated all his time, except for work, to completing Cyberpunk 2077.

Although Kenji Tanaka is not a speedrunner, he also completed the first round.

The most important thing is that he wants to get to "My Body Becomes Fire" and beat Adam Smasher again.

Speaking of which, Adam Smasher has become a hot spot for Cyberpunk 2077.

Some speedrunners even stayed up all night for three days and went straight to the hidden ending of "My Body Becomes Fire" to beat Adam Smasher.

Afterward, many people uploaded videos of defeating Adam Smasher on B Station, which drew many cheers from both the original group and the game group.

The official even announced an achievement for killing Adam Smasher 100 times.

And it seems that achievement rewards will be given out one after another when Adam Smasher is killed 1,000 and 10,000 times.

Besides hitting Adam with a heavy hammer, everyone found other Easter eggs in the game related to Edgerunners.

For example, the residences of David, Lucy, and Rebecca from the manga and animations.

And players went to the Afterlife bar and ordered a drink that belonged to David: "David Martinez."

"Vodka in a shot glass with ice and a splash of Coke, a great life and a glorious death!"

Seeing the introduction of this drink in the game, many players burst into tears again.

The vodka represents David, brave and fierce. Although he doesn't like carbonated drinks, Lucy added a small glass of Coca-Cola.

Then, everyone heard the song "I Really Want To Stay At Your House" on the radio.

At first, no one had paid much attention to it before watching the animation.

But after watching it, when David's final battle played in the background, this song was the music.

Many said it was very nice, but it was... a bit emotional.

The connection between Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners in the previous life caused the reputation of Cyberpunk 2077 to start growing.

Furthermore, there were good reviews after the optimization of Cyberpunk 2077.

In this world, Cyberpunk 2077 demonstrated a high level of completion and great gameplay from the start.

Thanks to its organic link with Edgerunners, it garnered enough praise and sales.

With the enormous fan base of Edgerunners and the title of the Republic's first 3A masterpiece, Hyperion Game Development has earned a ton of money! This is just the beginning, and the subsequent revenue from Cyberpunk 2077 will only grow!

Haruto Yamamoto plans to throw a celebration banquet in a while.

He wants to thank Ren. After all, without Ren, Cyberpunk 2077, a hugely successful game, would not have existed.

Now that he thinks about it, he suddenly feels that giving Ren only 10% of the net profits was too little...

This engine was developed by others, the technical problems were solved by others, and the intellectual property was also provided by others...

Only 10% of the net profits is very little.

The most important thing is that they might need Ren in the future.

As long as Ren is willing to help in the future, they will undoubtedly earn more money.

Haruto Yamamoto once heard his father teach him that he should not only focus on the small profits ahead but also on the magnificent income of the future.

After all, his family is in the real estate business, so the current losses and debts are nothing.

They will undoubtedly recover them with interest in the future! The current cooperation with Ren is also like that. He only cares about the current profits and is at odds with Ren, a brilliant mangaka and a versatile technical expert...

It's like a frog in a well: "Look through the distance! With a narrow view, you only see the bottom!"

So Haruto Yamamoto also plans not only to give 10% of the profits but also to give Ren an extra thank-you gift. The goal is to befriend Ren to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

Kenji Tanaka and other players, naturally, are unaware of these things.

After completing Cyberpunk 2077, he wanted to relax.

For example... he read the Chainsaw Man manga, which he hadn't read in a long time.

He opened them, following the plot of Makima's death that he saw last time.

All the devil hunters from Public Safety Section 4 were killed by a mysterious man, and Denji, Aki Hayakawa, and others also encountered the grandson of the gangster uncle, controlled by the zombie devil at the beginning.

He pulled out a gun and shot Himeno and Denji.

Then, facing the attack of the Fox Devil summoned by Aki Hayakawa, he transformed back into a katana devil.

At that moment, for the first time in history, Aki Hayakawa drew the "sword" he carried behind him, a sword he had never used before.

In the last incident with the Eternity Devil, everyone learned from Himeno that Aki Hayakawa's "sword" contained the power of the curse devil. Using it in combat would reduce his life expectancy.

But at that moment, he had to use this "sword" that contained the power of the curse devil!
