Kato Megumi showed a hesitant look on her face. Although she was gradually moved by Muto Yu's words, her rationality still prevailed.

"Don't just deny yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, at least believe in me who believes in you."

Muto Yu's expression was extremely serious, and he said the lines he had wanted to say for a long time. When Kato Megumi looked at him, she saw sincerity and trust in his eyes.

The protagonists of the two-dimensional world are special and have their own powerful talents, such as Eriri Sawamura's painting talent and Utaha Kasumigaoka's writing skills.

In the original book, the author was able to quickly master the programming of galgame game programs through self-study, which is undoubtedly a reflection of the other party's talent.

Even though the galgame program is not difficult, Muto Yu believes in Kato Megumi's talent, or rather, he believes in himself.

A special existence called Halo is a powerful item that produces various passive benefits to one's subordinates (including the host himself).

There is also a convenient function for setting the conditions for effectiveness, such as setting a condition such as "only effective for members who have qualified loyalty to the team/company (Muto Yu)", and then employees who do not meet the conditions will naturally not be able to enjoy the halo effect.

Chapter 28 System, add points! (Reward)

For example, the ability improvement halo: the professional quality of qualified employees will continue to improve at work, and the speed of improvement depends on the level of the halo and their own talents.

If talents have not been fully tapped, the speed of improvement will be faster. If there is no potential to be tapped, the speed of improvement will be much slower.

By the way, halo has both good and bad sides. After all, how could there really be something in the world that is beneficial to everyone without any harm?

The more benefits you gain from the halo, the more favorable impression/friendliness/loyalty you will have towards the halo owner (Muto Yuu) in your heart.

Of course, there are no specific values ​​for favorability/friendliness/loyalty here. We use these terms just for the sake of ease of understanding.

In such a situation, those who have ulterior motives towards Yu Muto will be quickly identified because they cannot benefit from the effects of various halos. While others are making progress, some people are standing still, and it is easy to find that they have problems.

Through the halo effect, he not only improved his professional quality and gained various passive enhancements, but also gradually became a die-hard fan of Yu Muto, the kind that cannot be driven away.

It can be said that the effect of the halo is really too powerful. The only problem is... it consumes too many points!

Extracting an aura costs ten points. At the same maximum level of Lv10, the upgrade cost is ten times that of the skill. That is, extracting the aura and then upgrading it to Lv10 will consume four hundred and sixty points.

Focusing his attention on the girl opposite him again, Muto Yu was waiting for Kato Megumi's answer.

"I... then I'll give it a try."

Finally, Kato Megumi decided to give it a try. What if she really succeeded?

At least the other person believes in me, so how can I deny myself without trying?!

Afterwards, the two of them talked about game production while having lunch. At Muto Yu's suggestion, Kato Megumi agreed to work hard to become a programmer.

And Muto Yuya gave the other party some simple advice. The programming language in this world is not much different from that in his previous life, so he recommended that the other party learn the most basic C++ first.

This is a language that can be learned from the beginner level to the end. As for how far Kato Megumi can learn in the future, Muto Yu actually doesn't know.

If it really doesn't work, just wait until you have enough points in the future and let Muto Yu take you away.

After lunch, while there was still some time left for lunch break, Muto Yu went to the bathroom and closed the door of the cubicle. The translucent personal panel appeared in front of him as he thought.

Excited hearts and trembling hands, it’s time to harvest!

With a huge sum of eight points, Muto Yu looked at his panel and used the gift of home cooking Lv1 first.

Then, Muto Yuu felt as if a vast amount of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind, such as how to distinguish the freshness and quality of common ingredients, the methods and precautions for handling common ingredients, and the control of knife skills and heat control...

In addition to knowledge, corresponding muscle memory is naturally indispensable. Before, when Muto Yu cooked, I basically thought that this was the way to go, and then I just did it that way.

Now that he has the skill of cooking home-cooked dishes Lv1, Muto Yu has systematically learned the basic skills of a chef. This also made him realize how many flaws there were in the food he made before based on his feelings.

"What is this? Is this like I've been eating fried rice all this time and even the system can't stand it anymore, so it gives me a cooking skill so I can eat something good?"

This idea suddenly came to Muto Yu's mind. Speaking of which, he was in urgent need of painting skills last time, and the system immediately rewarded him with one.

However, if Muto Yu relies on himself to think about this kind of problem, he is destined to come up with no result.

(No conspiracy theories)

Turning his attention back to his personal dashboard, he was a little unsure how to spend the "huge sum" of eight points.

After hesitating for a moment, Muto Yu directly took out two points to upgrade his game programming skills, leaving him with six points.

If all of them were used for upgrades, it would be enough to upgrade 2D painting and game programming to Lv4, but for the time being, Lv3 is actually enough.

As for other uses, apart from the aura pool that cannot be drawn, and the completely random skill pool that gives one point each time you draw, Yu Muto only has the option of adding points to basic attributes.

Soon, Muto Yu made a decision that having a strong physique is much better than completely random skills.

Just go all in!

As Yu Muto closed his eyes to receive new information and strengthen his physique, his personal panel also underwent significant changes.

Name: Yuu Muto

Constitution: 9 (originally 6)

Points: 0

Skills: Game Programming Lv3, 2D Painting Lv3, Cooking Lv1

Halo: None

Feeling his body becoming stronger, Muto Yu couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

He took out his phone and used the front camera, looking at himself on the screen. As his physical fitness continued to improve, the change in his body shape into a muscular monster that he had worried about did not occur.

The outline of the muscles can be seen, but it does not appear abrupt. Beneath the streamlined figure lies terrifying explosive power.

"Is this probably the pink muscles all over the body that was promoted in all the novels in my past life?" (Not really)

As the bell rang, Muto Yu walked into the classroom. The teacher was already standing on the podium, but didn't say anything when he saw him come in.

The main reason is that Yu Muto is 1.8 meters tall. In the city of Eisakusa where the average height is 1.65 meters, the oppression is too strong, especially since he is not skinny, but has a muscular figure that makes one look strong yet handsome.

After returning to his seat, he looked at Kato Megumi next to him and nodded at her. Then, Muto Yu began to organize the knowledge in his mind with his eyes closed.

This system is very good in this respect. During the process of strengthening the physical fitness, there will be neither the so-called black mud all over the body after washing the marrow and cutting the meridians, nor will there be a strong feeling of hunger.

In his previous life, he read various novels in which the protagonists became hungry after strengthening themselves, and even almost starved to death because the strengthening drained all the nutrients from their bodies. He always had a question in his mind.

Since these incredible systems can directly enhance the host, why does the host still need to obtain nutrition from the outside world, or even face the risk of death?

Even physical enhancement can be achieved in a numerical way, but the energy required for the additional enhancement cannot be achieved?

Chapter 29 Betting with Aoba

But despite all the complaints, the system Muto Yuu had acquired meant he didn't have to worry about any of this. The energy needed for the enhancements was all covered by the system, so he didn't have to worry at all. This was in keeping with the system's status as a black technology: it added points with one click, without any preparation.

Muto Yu clenched his fists, and abundant power surged in every muscle. Every time he added a point to his physical attributes, his body's endurance, explosive power, reaction speed, five senses, the working efficiency of his internal organs, recovery speed, self-healing speed and other aspects were all comprehensively strengthened and improved.

Although Yu Muto is still some distance away from the limits of human beings, he is full of confidence in his future. As long as he keeps adding attribute points, he will sooner or later become a land immortal, or even an ancestor.

He simply enjoyed a beautiful future. After systematic strengthening, although Muto Yu's control over his surging power could not reach a meticulous level, it definitely did not affect his normal life.

With strong expectations for the future, Muto Yu picked up the hand-drawing pen and continued to work hard.

Kato Megumi, who was standing by, looked at Muto Yu who was concentrating on painting, blinked quietly, and decided in her heart that she would go to the bookstore to buy the corresponding C++ textbooks after school.

....................................

In the evening, Yu Muto logged into the Steam backend again. The sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" had exceeded 45,000 copies, and the probability of sales exceeding 50,000 copies on the first day was still very high.

Liang Feng: "How are the sales? We've advertised your game at the company."

Muto: "Is it really okay for you to do this?"

Liangfeng: "What?"

Muto: "You're also a game company, right? Does advertising someone else's game like this count as... treason?"

Liang Feng: "That's not the case. Even if it's a rival gaming company, if the game is really good, we will buy it and play it."

Liang Feng: "What's more, our company makes console games. Your small-scale game is just a drop in the bucket. We can't even be considered a competitor."

Muto: "I can't help it. I'm alone now, and there's no way I can make a large-scale game. (Helpless smile.jpg)"

Liang Feng: "So how many sales are there for your new game now? It must be pretty good, after all, it's so interesting."

Muto: "For a game to be interesting, players need to know about its existence. I'm planning on finding some streamers and seeing if I can get some free publicity."

Liangfeng: "Is it really okay?"

Muto: "It depends on luck, but even without any promotion, I have great confidence in this game. With players' support, the final results of the game will definitely be good."

Liang Feng: "You've digressed again. So, what are the sales figures for the new game?"

Muto: "How about you take a guess?"

Liang Feng: "Do you want to guess?"

Muto: "Sister Liangfeng, take a guess. If you guess correctly, I'll treat you to a meal. You have three chances, in units of a thousand."

Liang Feng: "Okay, in order to let you treat me, I'll take a guess."

Of course, Liangfeng Qingye was not greedy for Muto Yu's treat, but she was competitive. After all, if she guessed wrong, she would not lose anything. If she guessed right, she could satisfy her competitive spirit and get a free meal, which was a sure win.

Liangfeng: "Ten thousand copies?"

Muto: "Low."

Liangfeng: "Twenty thousand copies?"

Muto: "It's still too low."

Muto: "Sister Liangfeng, there's only one chance left. Do you want me to give you a few more chances?"

Liang Feng: "No need, what's the point of cheating in a small game?"

Liangfeng rejected Muto Yu's proposal without hesitation, then his eyes fell on the computer beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​searching for the corresponding game sales on Steam.

Liangfeng: "Forty-five thousand copies!"

Since the results just asked were too small, I might as well try to get a higher number. Liangfeng Qingye was originally going to guess 50,000, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too high, so he reduced it by another 5,000.

Muto Yu took a look at the current sales situation, which was more than 46,300 copies. Obviously, Ryoufeng Qingye guessed wrong.

but……

Muto: "Huh? Suzukaze-nee actually guessed it right?!"

Betting and the like are minor issues, and spending some money on treating people to a meal is also a minor issue. Having a meal with Suzukaze Aoba is Yuu Muto's real purpose.

Although he did initiate the bet as a joke at the beginning, if Ryoukaze Aoba's third guess was too far off, Muto Yu would not have suddenly come up with such an idea.

However, the result of the third guess was too close to the previous one, so Yu Muto decided to go with the flow.

Liangfeng: "Huh? Did you really guess it right?"

Muto: "Sister Liangfeng is very lucky. Consider this as I owe you a meal. When you have time, I will treat you to dinner."

Liang Feng: "Then I won't be polite."

Liangfeng Qingye had no doubt that he had not actually guessed correctly. He was thinking mainly according to her own thoughts. How could anyone give up a victory that was within his grasp and even take the initiative to pay for others' meal? What was he trying to achieve?

Liangfeng: "Speaking of which, after finishing Plants vs. Zombies, what are you going to do? Are you going to study hard for a while?"

Muto: "That kind of thing doesn't exist. Why would I waste my time like that? The next game is already in production, and this one is likely to cause a terrifying storm in this world's gaming world."

Liang Feng: "So confident?"

Muto: "Of course, the new game is far superior to even Plants vs. Zombies. I have unprecedented confidence in this game."

Before Yuu Muto traveled through time, the game "Terraria" had sold 58.7 million copies. Although it was a cumulative sales volume across multiple terminals and platforms, it was still an extremely terrifying number.

Of course, the only true god is "Minecraft". As of the end of 23, its global sales volume reached 2.38 million copies, which is undoubtedly the historical sales ceiling in the gaming industry.

Liang Feng: "Then junior brother, you must work hard."

Muto: "Wait until I make a trial version. Do you want to try it out, then, Sister Liangfeng?"

Liang Feng: "Of course, as long as it's not something like "I Wanna", as long as I'm invited, I will definitely go."

Muto: "Don't worry, although this game is a little difficult, it's far from deliberately torturing you or messing with your mentality."

Liang Feng: "That's good. Let's stop talking for now. I've finished dinner and need to get back to work."

Muto: "Eh? Working overtime today?"

Liang Feng: "Not only am I working overtime, I'm also living in the company during this period, and I have to work overtime on weekends."
