The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

PA-san confirmed it again and again before he was completely relieved. Then he saw Yu Muto's comments in the chat area.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Congratulations, Art-chan is indeed a talented player. So, do you think this game deserves the adjective "difficult"?"

"Well, if this game isn't considered difficult, I think most games in the world are just easy."

Chapter 12 "IWanna" Settlement

"But I have to take a closer look at which twisted person designed this game."

PA-san said this and clicked on the game details interface again. At this time, the netizens in the live broadcast room also wrote down the name of the game.

then……

"To the netizen named Kayaba Akihiko, would you like to express your opinion on the fact that the creator of this game is also named Kayaba Akihiko?"

Listening to PA-san speaking in a pleasant mature voice with gritted teeth, Muto Yu couldn't help but smile. He spoke directly without any intention of hiding his identity.

Kayaba Akihiko: "I am the creator of this game."

"It really is you! This game has really caused me so much suffering. How are you going to compensate me?"

No matter what, he did promote the game for the other party and also gained more fans. If that was all, PA-san would not have any intention of pursuing the matter further.

It's mutually beneficial.

But this game was a little too inhumane, and the mental persecution it caused her made it impossible for PA-san to just laugh it off.

Even just an apology from the other party would make her feel a lot better.

Yu Muto naturally knew that he was getting something for free this time. He took a look at the gradually increasing purchase volume in the Steam background, and found that the netizens in the live broadcast room had already started to make an effort.

That being the case...

Although he felt a little sad, Muto Yu still gritted his teeth and gave PA-san a gift worth 100,000 yen in his live broadcast room.

Kayaba Akihiko: "Alter-chan, this is my belated compensation. I'm deeply sorry for the poor gaming experience you had while playing this game."

Kayaba Akihiko: "Also, this game allows you to create your own maps. These maps can be uploaded to the Creative Workshop for others to play. This feature may bring you some comfort."

The second after PA-san saw Yu Muto's message, she immediately switched back to the game interface, and after clicking the "More" button, she saw the hidden "More Maps" and "Custom Maps" buttons.

After hesitating for a moment, PA-san clicked on "More Maps". Now there were only two lonely maps in it, one was a more difficult and inhumane map uploaded by Muto Yu, and the other was uploaded by other players.

Even Yu Muto was stunned when he saw this scene through PA-san’s live broadcast room. How could there be a new map so soon?

After taking out his cell phone and asking Liangfeng Qingye, Muto You confirmed that the new map was made by the other party. It can only be said that after playing this game, the other party was also very angry.

The same is obviously true for PA-san. After watching "More Maps", he started his journey of making his own maps. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

A group of people there come up with all kinds of bad ideas, how to torture people and how to pollute their minds.

Invisible traps, traps that return to your happy home before the end and automatically save the game, strange sound effects that suddenly sound at critical moments...

After seeing this, Yuu Muto couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" Moreover, PA-san is a person who listens to advice. She is very willing to accept the bad ideas shared by the majority of group members.

After PA-san uploaded it to the Creative Workshop, Yu Muto immediately pinned the map to the top through the background and added the "Hell Difficulty" label to it.

Then Yinxi Art ended today's live broadcast, most likely to switch to his secondary account to see if there were other anchors broadcasting "IWanna".

Of course, she couldn't help but recommend them the ultimate torture map she made herself.

Through the world's developed live broadcast industry and people's love of fun, Muto Yu successfully promoted his game and at least became a small hit in the field of game live broadcasting.

The various social media accounts that have been verified have also begun to gradually increase their fans. The most difficult step has been taken. The next step is to proceed steadily, first accumulate some funds with small-scale games, and then prepare for medium-scale games.

At this moment, Muto Yu is full of hope for his future.

"Ding! 'IWanna' has been released, settlement in progress..."

After Muto Yu turned off the computer, the system voice also appeared in his mind, and a translucent panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.

Various complex data flashed by, and there were hundreds of data items for reference in the final settlement, and most of them flashed by quickly, making Muto Yu feel overwhelmed and dizzy.

"Ding! Settlement completed! I Wanna's final settlement points reward is five!"

"Ding! As the host's first game, I'm giving you an extra incentive reward—2D Drawing Skill Lv1!"

Seeing the additional incentive rewards, Muto Yu was not surprised at all, because these were all mentioned in the system usage document of millions of words.

The first three games produced will have additional incentive rewards, and after that only large games starting from tens of GB will have the chance to receive additional rewards.

Moreover, the additional rewards of the latter are of much higher quality than the incentive rewards.

I don’t know if the system understood my troubles. I was worrying about how to deal with the painting part of "Plants vs. Zombies", but now I have the painting skills.

Even though it's only Lv1, didn't I just get five points?

He quickly completed learning the painting skills, and then spent three points to upgrade it directly. Soon, Muto Yu felt that countless information and knowledge appeared in his mind, and the muscles of his fingers, wrists, and even arms were moving in a peculiar rhythm.

This is the system using a method that Muto Yuya doesn't understand to help him quickly form muscle memory.

After everything was done, Muto Yu shook his hands. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his hands were more flexible and stronger than before.

Muto Yu hesitated for a moment and added the remaining two points to his physique. Another stream of heat appeared in his body, strengthening everything in his limbs.

Name: Yuu Muto

Constitution: 6 (originally 5)

Points: 0

Skills: Game Programming Lv1, 2D Painting Lv3

Halo: None

It is worth mentioning here again that the points consumed for skill upgrades are the same as its current level, that is, one point is required to upgrade from Lv1 to Lv2, and five points are required to upgrade from Lv5 to Lv6.

By analogy, to upgrade a Lv1 skill to Lv10 in one go, the points required are 45.

This shows that the value of points is still quite high.

Chapter 13: Buying a Second-Hand Graphics Tablet

"Halo" is also a very important part of this system, but its main responsibility is to apply passive gain buffs to the entire group, centered around Yuu Muto, who meets certain conditions.

(While the aura benefits others, it also passively increases the beneficiary's loyalty to Muto Yuu. This will be explained in detail later.)

Therefore, whether it is to obtain or upgrade the halo, the points consumed are far more than the skills. Not only does Muto Yu not have enough points to draw the halo now, the most important thing is that he is alone now, and even if he obtains the halo, he cannot maximize its utilization.

The reason why he chose to use the last points to purchase attribute points instead of upgrading his game programming skills was because he had a premonition that this skill would be able to upgrade itself in a short time, so there was naturally no need to spend precious points.

Getting back to the topic, after closing his personal panel with satisfaction, Muto Yu felt his hands itchy.

Following this feeling, Muto Yu took out paper and pen, and the figure of his mother in the previous life subconsciously emerged in his mind. When he came to his senses, a sketch of his mother was already completed.

"Mother……"

Looking at the mother in my memory, the good mood that had been promoted by me has dissipated a little, and a bit of melancholy has been added.

But he died by luck, not missing. I hope his parents can get over the grief after a period of time. At least he still has a biological sister who can take care of them.

After looking at the mother in the painting for a few more times, Muto Yu folded it and put it in the drawer. After adjusting his mood, he began to draw something else.

For example... Peashooter, Sunflower, Puffball...

Muto Yu drew plant after plant with just a few strokes. Apart from the lack of color, they were no different from the plants in the "Plants vs. Zombies" game he played in his previous life.

At this moment, Muto Yu discovered the truly incredible aspect of the skill, which allowed people to directly complete the corresponding operations.

For example, a person who is tone-deaf can immediately sing songs in tune after acquiring singing skills.

Before acquiring painting skills, Muto Yu's painting skills were terrible. What he thought in his mind and what he drew were completely two different things.

Now there is no such worry at all, and Muto Yu feels that his control over his body has become more and more meticulous.

When painting, he basically finishes it in one go without pausing to make changes, so the time it takes for Muto Yu to paint is quite short.

'In this way, the art resource problem of "Plants vs. Zombies" has been completely solved.'

Yuu Muto breathed a sigh of relief, then substituted his own drawing speed into the calculation and estimated how long it would take to complete "Plants vs. Zombies". The answer was about a month.

But if we exclude the class time, it will take longer, possibly extending to about three months.

Between rapid development and the only high school life in this life, Muto Yu chose to have it all. After all, Sakura Empire's high school offers happy education, and the teachers are similar to those in his previous life's university.

There is no problem playing with your mobile phone or computer in class, as long as you don’t make any noise to affect other students, or do anything to deliberately provoke the teacher, basically no teacher will care what you do in class.

Muto Yuu goes to school just to have fun, and grades are good enough. A score more than five points above the passing mark is a waste. (Good kids, don't learn this.)

After making the decision, Muto Yu immediately opened the online shopping platform on his mobile phone and prepared to buy a digital tablet.

All the things drawn are for use in the game. It is not impossible to draw them on paper, but the drawings need to be scanned and further edited, which will waste a lot of extra time and energy.

So Muto Yu chose to go straight to the point.

However, the brands, styles, and prices of digital tablets vary. The cheapest ones cost 10,000 to 20,000 yen, but the most expensive ones have so many zeros that Yu Muto doesn't even have the interest to count them.

My savings have shrunk by one third after being squandered several times, so I naturally have to be careful with the purchase of a digital tablet.

I searched online but didn't get any good recommendations. Everyone has their own opinions and there is no unified view.

Yu Muto, who suffered from indecision-making difficulties, finally chose to ask for external help.

Liangfeng: "Eh? A digital tablet?"

Muto: "Yes, I'm planning to create a new game now. Unlike the simple pixel art style of IWanna, it's too difficult to draw with a mouse."

Muto: "But there are so many different kinds of digital tablets online, and my savings are very limited, so I'd like to ask you for some advice, Sister Liangfeng."

Liangfeng: "So what's the budget?"

Muto: "Under 50,000."

Yu Muto originally wanted to say something under 30,000, but after all, you get what you pay for. If the budget is higher, Ryoufu Aoba can give more recommendations.

Liang Feng: "With a budget of 50,000, it's not too small. It's more than enough to buy a high-quality, entry-level graphics tablet from a well-known brand."

Muto: "I just hope that it can last as long as possible and have more functions."

Liangfeng: "How about you buy this one? It's 49,500 yen, which is exactly what you want. I bought one before, and it works pretty well. It's not much different from what I'm using now."

Yu Muto opened the link recommended by Ryoufu Aoba, and after seeing the various introductions and mostly positive reviews, he felt a little tempted.

However, the price of approximately 50,000 made Muto Yuu hesitate. This money was enough to buy the development documents for a small-scale game.

After hesitating for a long time, thinking that the next "IWanna" could at least make some money back, Muto Yu decided to grit his teeth and buy it directly.

But just as he was about to pay, Liangfeng Qingye sent another message.

Liang Feng: "If you don't mind, I can sell you my graphics tablet. I've taken good care of it, and it still functions normally."

After sending the message, Liangfeng Qingye was worried that Muto You might misunderstand something, so he quickly sent another message to explain the specific situation.

Liang Feng: "I changed my graphics tablet because I found a job, not because there was something wrong with the original one."

Muto: "I believe Sister Liangfeng won't cheat me on this kind of thing. So, how much do you plan to pay, Sister Liangfeng?"

Liangfeng: "Just 10,000 yen, but I have one request. Please take good care of it when you use it. If you agree, I will send it to you right now."

Muto: "I promise, I will use it with care."

Muto Yu immediately made a promise, and not long after, Liangfeng Qingye brought the digital tablet over. After all, they were neighbors, so it was convenient to visit each other.

Chapter 14: Black and Red Are Also Red

"How to use this?"

Looking at the digital tablet that looked no different from a brand new one except for some small scratches, Muto Yu asked with some confusion.

"Let me teach you."

Faced with Yu Muto's curious questions, Suzukaze Aoba stepped forward without hesitation and began to explain to him step by step how to use the professional painting software inside the digital tablet.

You can actually find tutorials for these things directly on the Internet, but Liangfeng Qingye still chose to teach them personally. I can only say that the 10,000 yen was well worth it.

He had used software like PS in his previous life, and could master many operations at a glance.

After Liangfeng Qingye taught for more than ten minutes, Muto You had basically mastered the various operations of this digital tablet.

Then, under the gaze of Ryoufeng Aoba, Muto Yu took only half a minute to draw a cute pea shooter.

"Is this the character in the game you're going to create in the future?"
