I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"You're welcome. After all, Kurokawa-san, you'd be perfect as a model."

"that..."

Before leaving, Akane Kurokawa stared at the young man beside her, took a deep breath, and finally mustered up her courage, "Next time... let me treat Genkawa-san to a meal. I want to express my gratitude to you."

"Well..."

Feeling the girl's expectant gaze, Genkawa Yu accepted her invitation.

"Alright then, I'll look forward to it."

"Ah."

After Akane Kurokawa left, a satisfied and pleased smile appeared on Yu Minakawa's face.

Although this temporary job came suddenly, it ultimately proved to be very rewarding for him.

On the one hand, they can receive a sum of money for their labor; on the other hand,

He stared at the system screen in front of him; the experience growth prompts popping up on the [Entry Production Platform] were already overflowing.

[Production Sequence 1: A Spark of Inspiration]

Experience points: 98/100

Experience points: 99/100

Experience points: 100/100

【Ding! 】

Production complete!

[You've obtained the entry for "Inspiration"!]

"Shooting a magazine cover once will max out your experience points."

Touching his chin, Genkawa Yu didn't hesitate at all and directly opened the system's [Entry Synthesis Platform].

"Whatever the reason, the efforts of the past few days have not been in vain."

Genkawa Yu checked the system screen one last time, then put all the acquired entries into the [Entry Synthesis Platform] in one go.

[Writing (White)] + [Focus (White)] + [Inspiration (White)] = [Junior Novelist (Green)]

Synthesis successful!

[Obtain the "Junior Novelist" (green) entry!]

[Possessing more precise descriptive writing skills than laypeople, adept at story arrangement, with unique insights into plot design and character development, resulting in works suitable for publication.]

"It's done!!!"

The next moment, Yuan Chuanyou felt countless insights flood his mind, and various writing techniques flashed through his head.

After waiting for a full ten minutes, the young man finally understood.

Writing is not about "making up stories," but about "making stories happen."

First, you need to pre-determine the main characters. Once you find the right angle to set up the stage, all that's left is to put these characters into it.

Then, they will start moving on their own.

"Finally, I can officially start brainstorming ideas for my submission..."

Genkawa Yu touched his hair, and after thinking for a long time, a literary work about love slowly emerged in his mind.

"love letter".

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star, Chapter Twenty: Wanting to Become an Athlete

The carriage swayed slightly, and Genkawa Yu stood in the corner of the tram.

Although he removed his makeup before leaving the studio, some young women still stared intently at him in the crowded tram.

Of course, he had no time to pay attention to his surroundings, as his attention was focused on the system screen in front of him.

Having obtained the "Inspiration" entry, Genkawa Yu now wants to quickly select a new entry to produce.

After all, in addition to upgrading the level of the [Entry Library], the level of the [Entry Production Platform] also needs to be raised.

The system rules are simple: mastering ten entries will upgrade the [Entry Library] to Lv2, while the [Entry Production Station] needs to produce five new entries to be upgraded to Lv2.

After several days of tireless effort, Yuan Chuanyu has already acquired eight entries.

They are: [Focus (white)], [Extra (white)], [Beginner Voice, Stage Presence, and Acting (white)], [Newcomer (green)], and [Energetic (green)].

There are also [Writing (white)], [Breakthrough of Inspiration (white)], and [Junior Novelist (green)].

"Hmm... Before the upgrade of the [Glossary], the synthesis path of purple entries was not visible at all."

Genkawa Yu touched his blond hair, his resolve hardening.

"We still need to upgrade the [entry database] as soon as possible."

He searched for a long time in the vast database of entries, and before the tram arrived at the station, he finally chose a decent path for creating entries.

【High Energy (Green)】 + 【Long-Distance Running Expert (White)】 = 【Athlete (Green)】

"No matter what kind of work I do in the future, health will always be the most important thing."

Genkawa Yu's current physical condition is just average, and this direction can be used as a breakthrough point. After all, if he really becomes a leading actor in the future, he will definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity work of the crew without a good body.

"We're just two entries away from upgrading the [Entry Library], so you're the one we've decided on."

[Long-distance running enthusiast (white)]

[Available for production]

[Production Requirements: Gain 100 running experience points.]

The next moment, Genkawa Yu placed the [Long-Distance Running Master (White)] into the [Entry Production Platform].

[Production Sequence 1: Long-Distance Running Expert]

Experience points: 0/100

That's about right.

After leaving the tram station, he planned to return to Hoshino's office to find his manager, Kazuya Nakahara.

Besides discussing the rules of the entertainment industry that the other party mentioned last time, now that he has obtained the entry for "Junior Novelist," he also plans to ask the other party for the editor's contact information that was mentioned last time.

After all, the more cards you have in your hand, the stronger your ability to withstand risks.

The office doors slowly opened, and Genkawa Yu smiled slightly as he stepped inside.

The agent, Kazuya Nakahara, is a veteran of this agency. Although he is not yet high enough to have his own private office, his workstation is spacious and easy to find on the agent department floor.

"Zhongyuan-san, I'm back."

"Oh, Genkawa is back."

The agent, whose dark circles were already quite noticeable under his eyes, looked up from behind the screen and a smile quickly appeared on his lips.

"Coach Odagiri just called me back. You did a great job saving the day."

"Really."

Genkawa Yu glanced at the agent's work area and noticed that the agent's desk was piled with many folders of different colors. There were also many stickers on the edges of the two monitors on the desk, which contained work schedules and plans.

As the manager of several artists, this man has to arrange many things every day, leaving him with very little time to rest.

They are both workplace elites and top-notch laborers.

Kazuya Nakahara pointed to the chair opposite him, "The payment for being a model to fill in this time won't be received until after the magazine is released. It's more than what you earn from acting."

"That's good."

Genkawa Yu pulled out a chair and sat down, tapping the armrest with his fingertips. "Are you free now, Nakahara-san? Didn't you say you'd tell me about the things to be aware of in the entertainment industry?"

"Haha, don't worry about that, I've already prepared it for you."

Kazuya Nakahara simply cut out a document from the computer and showed it to the viewer with great skill.

"I've compiled some important rules that I need to remind you of into a document, and I'll print it out for you to take with you later."

"This is troublesome, Nakahara-san."

“No trouble at all, after all, you are one of my artists,” Kazuya Nakahara clicked to print the document, then turned his head and stared intently at Yuu Minakawa’s profile.

"More than that, I'm more interested in what you mentioned last time about writing a novel. Do you have any ideas yet?"

"Yes, I plan to write a story about unrequited love."

Genkawa Yu still remembered the general plot of "Love Letter" in his mind. Now that he had mastered the "Junior Novelist" entry, he was confident that he could perfectly recreate it.

"Unrequited love?"

Kazuya Nakahara's expression became a bit strange, then he teased, "Could it be based on your own experience? You're so handsome, do you have some kind of unrequited love history?"

"...Couldn't I have come up with this myself?"

Yu Genkawa said somewhat helplessly, "I'm confident I can write a good story that can be published, and maybe it can even be adapted into a movie or a TV series."

"Haha, Genkawa, you really have lofty ambitions."

After hearing Genkawa Yu's idea, his manager, Nakahara Kazuya, burst into laughter.

"Do you know how many books are officially published each year? Only those that are both popular and best-selling have the opportunity to be adapted into movies or TV series. You haven't even officially debuted as an author yet, and you're already fantasizing about things that are so far ahead?"

"Maybe my debut film will be a huge hit?"

Genkawa Yu tapped the armrest of his chair, recalling the popularity of "Love Letter" back then.

This book not only consistently ranked high on Japan's bestseller list, but after multiple reprints, its cumulative sales in Japan exceeded 200 million copies, making it one of the most representative works of pure love literature.

It even impacted tourism in Otaru, Japan—the city became a "love letter hotspot" due to the scenes depicted in the novel, attracting tens of thousands of tourists every year.

After laughing, Kazuya Nakahara scrutinized the young man's expression, which was anything but a joke, and his own expression became much more serious.

He had just witnessed the miraculous results created by Genkawa Yu a few days ago. If the other party could really become a best-selling author overnight, it would definitely become a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
