Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

Asuna waved her arms slightly. She remembered that there were shelves next to her, but now, even with her powerful swings, she felt no resistance. Meanwhile, the game's control menu appeared beside her, and a yellow DJ robot appeared, explaining the game's controls in a simple and straightforward manner.

"You can enjoy the fun of rhythm games just by dancing to the rhythm and touching the notes~" Asuna looked up at the menu in front of her and pressed the 'Stage Switch' menu. The surroundings immediately turned into an arcade, and a dance mat machine appeared under her feet, and a familiar big screen appeared in front of her - a familiar scene that people who like dancing on arcade machines must have seen.

"When switching scenes, will even the game screen be harmoniously integrated into the scene?" Asuna reached out and pressed the button on the machine. The first song in the music library was a song she had never heard before.

"The song is called... 'EXCITE'?"

After pressing the button, Asuna decided to play this song that she had never heard before. As the notes fell from above her head, the cheerful music merged with Asuna who was getting into the mood.

“Quite~

EXCITE EXCITE 高明る~

EXCITE EXCITE 心が~”

As the last note fell, Asuna naturally stretched out her hand, and when the note fell in front of her eyes, she gracefully made the ending gesture, completing the full combo.

QQ: 8 14 9 03 79 8

"Full Combo!"

131. I heard that the prototype of Yuzu is Yuzu Society

I'm not the one who can save you.

"Huh~ This is quite tiring. Is there a design that dynamically adjusts the difficulty?" Asuna reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "The speed and number of the falling notes obviously increased in the second half of the game, didn't they?"

"That's because I made adjustments secretly."

An adult's voice suddenly sounded from behind Asuna. Asuna quickly turned around and saw that the person standing behind her was indeed Danrito who had not been seen for several days.

"Eh? How did you get in?" Asuna pointed around. "I thought this gaming area could isolate everyone."

"Because I'm the Game Master, I can enter and exit my own game at will. Is that a problem?"

Danrito, who hadn't been seen for a few days, was now wearing a neat black suit, his hair combed back, looking like it had been sprayed with hairspray. His sudden appearance in Asuna's game world was simply a coincidence.

"Hmm~ That's not a problem." Asuna held up the cartridge in her hand: "How do I quit this gaming field?"

“When you want to quit, it will quit on its own.”

Before Danrito finished speaking, the surrounding scenery flashed with pixelated light and gradually faded, revealing the original appearance of the store.

"Eh hey hey? Danrito? When did you get here?"

Momo, standing nearby, looked startled. Danrito's appearance alongside Asuna's game world was indeed rather abrupt, but as she remembered how often he appeared and disappeared like that, she gradually recovered from her shock. The other members of the game club, who hadn't seen Danrito in a few days, belatedly gathered around.

"Tan, Tan Lidou-san, have you been busy these days? I haven't been to the activity room for several days."

Yuzu was a little shy, but she mustered up the courage to not retreat behind the little green girl. Danrito, the adult, and Yuzu had a unique relationship. They were both game developers, the benefactor who had helped keep the game development team afloat, and the one who had given her access to commercialization channels. With all these favors stacked against each other, Yuzu felt that even to repay this debt, she had to strive to be herself in front of Danrito.

"That's right, don't push yourself too hard!" Momo's voice was cheerful. Helping to keep the game development department clean was a big plus for her. At least now, Momo subconsciously felt that Danrito was part of their game development department. "Is starting a company really that hectic?"

"It's certainly been quite busy." Danrito folded his arms across his chest and nodded. "It's a bit more challenging in the early stages of starting a business, though. After all, the market for Kivotos is quite different from anything I've experienced before. Not only the scale, but also the customer base composition has necessitated adjustments to the company's management strategy, so it's been quite a busy few days."

"It sounds like we don't understand the hardships." Xiaolu, although usually very smart, was completely clueless when it came to business matters that only adults could understand. "Sorry, we can't help you with that."

"Ha, I don't need any help either. Don't treat me like an ordinary president!" Danrito puffed his chest out proudly. "Besides, don't you know me? My body can continue to work without food or water!"

If the continuous working mode is overloaded, it will cause death (nod)

However, with the Central Student Union's green light on all matters, Dan Lidou's Huanmeng Group had avoided most of the trouble. Because of coordination with the Federal Council and to fulfill a promise made to the teacher, Dan Lidou's Huanmeng Group actually assisted the Central Student Union, especially in the area of ​​"business," which these students were not good at. Dan Lidou's presence directly filled this gap.

Novel Group ⑨0㈨○⑨

Students are students after all. They can't be said to be completely inexperienced in this area, but they're just scratching the surface. While they do have a finance department, it's overwhelmed by just managing its own operations. Facing the market dominance of several major corporations in Kivotos, especially Caesars, they're losing ground.

Back when the Central Student Union president was around, that superhero single-handedly resolved everything, maintaining a stable situation until her disappearance. It wasn't until after her disappearance that Caesar seized most of Kivotos's economy. Even then, they were still able to rely on the backup plan left by the president to maintain a small foundation. Calling him the Superhero of Kivotos was truly an exaggeration.

"Not eating or drinking... that won't do!" Xiaolu looked at Danrito in front of him seriously. "Even if you have such a physique, mental fatigue can't be easily eliminated! You still have to maintain a normal schedule!"

"Ah, that kind of thing, you can fully recover after dying once."

Dan Lidou doesn't care about this at all. He has plenty of lives, so it doesn't matter!

"Hmm... So, if Mr. Danrito isn't busy at the D.U. headquarters, how can he still wander around the branches?" Asuna tilted her head curiously. "You don't look too busy, do you?"

"Everything in the company is almost arranged. The next step is to operate normally. If that's the case, just leave it to the employees to maintain it. Why should I sit in the office?"

Danrito reached out and rubbed Yuzu's little head, feeling the goodness of it. "Besides, these are the excellent employees I selected internally, so of course they have to be given extra care!"

"Employees?" Xiao Tao blinked. "We?"

"To have even one-thousandth of my ability is something you should be proud of." Danrito chuckled. "The 'Final Goddess Legend' series has the potential to be developed into a series of IPs. I see your potential as game developers. Is there anything wrong with recruiting the employees you like in advance?"

"Ah wow wow... Such high praise..." Yuzu felt her body tremble with excitement, and her face was a little hot. She was just as happy now as she had been scolded for developing the first generation of the game.

Yuzu raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes. She felt a little wet there: "Is this... the feeling of being recognized? I'm so happy..."

"Oh, and you, Xiaotao."

Danrito turned to Momo and said, "Your 'King of Cats' card has been a great help. It saves me a lot of trouble. I think I should give you the favor you requested."

"Is there anything you want?"

Xiao Tao pointed at herself, her expression more surprised than the others around her: "Me?"

132. “It’s meaningless!”

"Want to give me a reward? Then I'll have to think about it carefully..."

Since Danrito had said he would give Momo a reward, he would definitely give it to her. Even if Momo refused, he would still give it to her. However, Momo didn't seem to be trying to be polite. Instead, she began to seriously consider what she should ask Danrito for.

"Sister? You're not really that shameless, are you?"

Xiaolu watched as her sister didn't even try to refuse politely. She began to wonder what she should ask of the adult in front of her. She couldn't help but slap herself on the forehead: "Sister, please be polite... After all, I didn't even ask what I did for Mr. Danrito, did I?"

"Hmm, that seems to be the case." Tao was debating whether to buy the latest game console or empty her Momo Mall shopping cart. She looked up at Xiaolu's question and said, "Oh, right, Danrito, wasn't 'King of Cats' the game cartridge I originally made with that Creator MK1? Did you make anything with that?"

"I used that cartridge's special function to build an entire production line for converting game cartridges. Otherwise, I'd have to manually produce them one by one, which really saved me a lot of time." Danrito nodded. "I used to underestimate this 'King of Cats' cartridge. I didn't expect it to be so much more useful outside of combat."

Not only were his own company's production lines running at full capacity, but the vegetable greenhouses and dungeons in Abydos were also operating thanks to this cartridge. As the primary contributor and the cat's contractor, Momo deserved a reward from Danrito.

"So—I remember that Xiaolu, Yuzu, and Alice don't have their own game cartridges, right?" Xiaotao thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers, "Mine is 'King of Cats'. Yuzu's 'Saiden 2' was taken away by Kei-chan, so I felt like I shouldn't be the only one to have my own cartridge; everyone else should have theirs too!"

"Do you want everyone to have their own exclusive cassette?" Danrito thought for a moment and said, "That depends on your own ideas."

"My own thoughts?" Xiao Tao tilted her head: "What do you mean?"

"Just like how your "King of Cats" was created, Tao, it was a game that suited you perfectly. The compatibility between the Knight's cartridge and the user is also very important."

Although these children didn't need to transform into Kamen Riders yet, and even Momo, the only one who created the "King of Neko" cartridge, always had it in Danrito's hand, he still had to pay attention to the degree of compatibility.

The more the cassette fits you, the more you can push your abilities to the limit, or even beyond it.

Spare 96 ○6

Just as in "Kamen Rider Chronicles," even ordinary people could transform into rider players, the Special Rider transformation didn't actually require a full player driver. With Danrito's talent, it wouldn't be difficult to create a low-end, single-cartridge, faulty driver that could trigger the transformation, allowing this group of students to use it. However, there wasn't a need for that yet.

"My own cartridge..." Yuzu was a little confused. "But, doesn't my first-generation remake of Saiden already count as 'mine'?"

"Or……"

Yuzu remembered the final hiccup during the Saiden 2 cartridge production, the strange belt Danrito had pulled out while chasing Key, and the transformed hero he'd transformed into after inserting the cartridge. She'd been so frightened at the time that she hadn't thought much about it, but now that Danrito had brought it up, Yuzu remembered the difference he'd explained between "Knights turning to cartridges" and "Games turning to cartridges."

"Ah! Could it be the kind that Danrito-san used back then?" Yuzu piqued her interest. "That's the one, the special cassette that can only have one, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." Danrito nodded and said, "Or rather, you just realized it. Xiaotao's cassette has been out for a long time, although she hasn't used it much."

"Is that so... Then, wouldn't it be Saiden?" Yuzu was a little excited. Although transforming into a hero wasn't her favorite thing, the thought of being able to use a game cartridge to play 'transformation' made her feel unconsciously surge up in her heart: "I, I want to think carefully about what game the special cartridge should be!"

"Alice..." Xiaolu turned her head and saw Alice squatting and mocking the red female student who fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, Xiaolu almost spit out: "Alice! That action is not allowed!"

"Ugh?"

Alice turned around in confusion, "Isn't this the same etiquette Alice learned in online games?"

"That's not etiquette, that's sarcasm!"

Because a super-realistic giant robot stabbed her cockpit with a beam sword, and she felt the pleasure of being roasted by a high-energy laser, the red female student still looked like she was lying on the ground when she exited the game, but she only raised a trembling thumbs up: "Well done... My rival... If you don't give me half a point in your love for giant robots... (tilts head)"

"Honghong's classmate?!"

Alice panicked and tried to help her up: "Are you okay?"

"Princess, it seems she fainted due to excessive emotional fluctuations." Key shook his head helplessly and said, "I think if we send this student to the side to rest for a while, she will wake up on her own, right?"

With the help of the robot clerk, the female student in red was escorted to a nearby bench to rest. There were many students who were having trouble adapting to the fully simulated gaming environment for the first time, especially those playing games like "Taddle Quest" and "Moto Speed." However, these students didn't give negative reviews because of this. Instead, after their dizziness subsided, they bought the games.

"Alice's game cartridge can be put last." Danrito pointed at Key with a pout: "The cartridge in that little guy's hand is compatible with Alice's."

Xiao Tao's face was full of wisdom: "Why?"

"Key is a separate individual from Alice's body, and is actually a part of her." Danrito seemed to recall the time he was beaten, and his expression turned into a bit of gnashing of teeth. Then, as if remembering the famous scene of running in place, he couldn't help but grin with joy. "One person splits into two, and the other is a transformed version of the original body. I've experienced this many times."

“It doesn’t make any sense!”

133. True Brave Alice Mode!

"Hey! Why won't you let us in from here?!"

The thug raised the heavy machine gun in his hand, his face full of anger as if magma was about to erupt: "Are you discriminating against us, you bastard!"

"Hey, customer, please calm down..." the robot clerk said awkwardly, "This is the employee passage. The few people who just came in are all employees of Huanmeng Group, so they can use the dedicated passage. Please forgive me..."

"Ah? How is that possible?" The punk with a ponytail asked in disbelief, "How can students be employees here? Are they tellers?"

"No, these people are all working as game designers," the clerk introduced carefully. "With the president's approval, they can use the side employee entrance..."

"I'm so annoyed by all the nagging! Anyway, I don't want to queue anymore!"

The female thug holding a heavy machine gun raised her miniature machine gun in front of the clerk's terrified emoji: "I'm going to blast you all away!!!"

Dadadadadada——!

"Ah↘Ah↗ She can't help it after all." The gangster girl holding the submachine gun had a familiar expression on her face. "But, this is more like her usual self, isn't it?"

"Now that we've done it, let's see it through!" The gangster girl, holding up her rifle, said happily, and called out to her companions behind her: "Follow us!"

Rumble——!

The grenade sent the bulletproof glass buzzing, and machine gun bullets rained down like a storm on the closed side door. Although Danrito's renovation team had purchased the finest bulletproof glass, even it couldn't withstand the heavy firepower of these delinquent girls. After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, the side door shattered with a bang, and the store's security drone was also shot down.

"Hmm? What's the sound?"

Danrito twitched his ears. He and Xiaolu were discussing the theme of Xiaolu's game cartridge when a loud explosion behind him made him turn his head in displeasure. Just then, a panicked robot clerk came tumbling over. "Boss, something bad has happened! A bunch of delinquents are coming through the side door!"

"Destroy my place?" Danrito's expression turned a bit confused. "I remember I approved some security funding, right?"

"S-Sorry, President Danrito! I thought we wouldn't be attacked within the school district..." The robot branch manager's face was filled with fear. Apparently, overconfident in the Millennium School District's security, it had simply purchased a few security drones to pocket the money. As a result, it was now facing a scene where delinquent girls, unable to wait in line, were attacking the store.

"...Okay, you're fine."

Dan Lidou narrowed his eyes and took in the uneasy robot in front of him, as well as the group of thugs who had already broken down the store door and rushed in. "After today, go write your resignation letter."

Xiaolu, who was standing by, poked his head out: "Bad girl? Do you need our help?"

"It's not necessary." Dan Lidou held back his hand as he was about to transform. Since Xiaolu volunteered, Dan Lidou went along with it: "Since you all happen to be here, do me a favor and knock these bad girls down."

"That's not necessary... I'm right." Xiaolu raised his rifle. "Danrito-san showed his strength when we were chasing Key-chan. You can handle the current situation by yourself, right?"

"However, even if it is to repay your kindness in helping us with the Millennium Award, we can't just ignore this situation."

Facing the bad girls rushing into the store, Xiaolu took the lead in firing the first shot, hitting the first bad girl holding a heavy machine gun and preparing to take the nearest game cartridge: "Watch out for the gun! I can't let you buy for free!"

With their weapons already drawn, the last shred of rationality that had held these bad girls back from paying was thrown out the window. Using force to get what they wanted was a far more satisfying way to achieve their goals than paying with money!

Of course, this group of bad girls also tasted the bitterness of failure: not only did they not get anything, but they also got beaten up. Some students with superb martial arts skills, especially Gehenna's students, were even more keen on hunting down bad girls and taking money from their pockets.

Damn it! That's all the hard-earned money we earned from robbing people!

"That's right! To protect these innocent games!"

Grapefruit cannon, fire!
