The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

Isn't it because other games have added things like upgrades, points, and genre selection? Of course, these new additions have undoubtedly increased the lifespan of the game, but they have also made fighting zombies a little "not fun enough" and "not direct enough".

The final score of "Red Alert" was fourteen points, but Yu Muto never thought that the points were too few, and even a little bit of money was still money.

All fourteen points are put into basic physical fitness, so basic physical fitness: 58→65.

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

The summer vacation is over in a blink of an eye, and Hoshikawa Hotaru is going back to France to continue his university studies. Suzukaze Aoba and Sakura Ningning naturally want to see their good friend off.

At the girls' request, the farewell dinner was held at Muto Yu's house. After tasting the boy's cooking skills, Hoshikawa Hotaru was immediately amazed.

Then came the September monthly inspection. The beta test version of the game had been completed. After Yu Muto arrived at the Eagle Leap Conference Room, the management were all sitting upright.

The main menu interface of "Left 4 Dead" was displayed on the big screen in the conference room. Yu Muto took the game controller and started the game.

By the way, when playing FPS games, Yuu Muto actually prefers to use a keyboard and mouse, but he is not unable to play with a controller either. Anyway, his dynamic vision and reaction speed are there, so he can use any operation without any problem.

The trial game began. Under the control of Yu Muto, the character easily fought his way through the swarm of zombies. Without any robot teammates, he quickly cleared the highest difficulty level of this map alone without losing a single drop of blood.

"Uh... President, isn't our game... a little too simple?"

Looking at the result of Yu Muto passing the level without any injury, Awagen Kaiko asked uncertainly, after all, this was already the highest difficulty.

"This difficulty level is fine, and the game is very complete. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Please persevere for the last month. After the game is released, we will reward you according to your achievements. Everyone will definitely get a bonus."

Yu Muto's words made Awagen Kaiko and other managers in the programming department feel relieved. They were afraid that they would have to make some more changes at such a critical moment.

When people from other departments heard what Muto Yu said, they all showed surprise on their faces, because this boss is a man of his words, he really gives bonuses and never makes empty promises.

After the meeting, Yu Muto followed Shizuku Hazuki as they inspected the company while discussing the next work.

Then Muto Yu found that there seemed to be a new face in the company. When he walked to the workstation of Suzukaze Aoba and the others, he saw a girl with short red hair sitting at the workstation that originally belonged to Takimoto Hifumi.

"Have you recruited new people recently?"

"You mean Hongye? She didn't join Eagle Leap through recruitment. She and another programmer are both trainees sent by Tokyo Game University."

They are called trainees, but in fact they are just interns. Many technical colleges in Chongqing have the habit of sending students to internships, and some high schools even arrange for students to intern in companies for two to four weeks.

However, the private Toyonosaki Academy where Muto Yu is studying does not have such a tradition.

"A trainee?"

Muto You was stunned for a moment, then he recalled the other party's identity in his mind. It seemed that their names were Mochizuki Hongye and Ming Haiyan?

In the original anime, two lovely girls joined the flying eagle in the second season. Just looking at their names, Momiji and Aoba, you can tell how destined they are to be together.

From the few memories left, Mochizuki Koye seemed to be a straight woman like Yagami Hikari, and she seemed to be a foodie.

As for the other Ming Haiyan, how should I put it? Her personality is sometimes a little unpleasant, but after understanding the reason, I will also feel sorry for her. In short, there is nothing wrong with her, and she is also a very cute girl.

Speaking of which, in the original work, the combination of Mochizuki Hongye and Ming Haiyan was competing one-on-one with the combination of Liangfeng Qingye and Ying Ningning.

However, with the various tutoring provided by Muto Yuu during this period, the effect of the potential enhancement halo, and the humble learning and hard work of Sakura Ningning and Ryoufeng Qingye, the strength of the two has long been different from before.

Liangfeng Qingye, who was supposed to be only slightly stronger than Wangyue Hongye, is now extremely powerful; Ying Ningning, who was originally far inferior to Ming Haiyan, now has the strength to stand on her own.

In addition, the game produced by Eagle Leap Motion is "Left 4 Dead", not "PECO" in the original work where Suzukaze Aoba is the protagonist, so some things will not happen from the beginning.

After all, in the original work, the main reason why Mochizuki Hongye was somewhat dissatisfied with Liangfeng Qingye was that the other party was the same age as her, but served as the main character.

Chapter 253: "Clannad" animated adaptation?

"Junior?"

When Muto Yu was communicating with Hazuki Shizuku, he startled Ryoufeng Aoba who was not far away.

"Well, let me check on everyone's work progress. Left 4 Dead is now entering its final stages. If you encounter any emergencies, please report them promptly."

"Do not worry."

Liangfeng Qingye nodded seriously, and then Yagami Guang, who was not far away, saw the appearance of Muto Yu and his eyes lit up slightly.

"President, you are here. I just happen to have some small problems here. I hope to hear your suggestions."

Hikaru Yagami, who had been stagnant in art, began to rapidly improve his strength again with the guidance of Lv7 Yuu Muto.

In the original novel, the other party was aroused by Liangfeng Qingye's rapid growth and became ambitious. At the end of the second season, he chose to leave Feiying Yuedong and go to a large game company in France to work and study to improve himself.

But of course such a thing will not happen now, because the pictures drawn by Muto Yu casually are a height that she will never be able to reach in her lifetime.

Working under such a person and occasionally receiving some advice, the progress can be described as lightning fast.

When Mochizuki Hongye heard the noise, she turned around and looked at the rather abrupt figure that appeared in Feiying Leap. After all, the other party was a boy!

But the next moment, Mochizuki Koha became excited. After Muto Yu finished instructing Yagami Hikaru, she immediately came over and nervously handed him a box of "Atelier Ryza" special edition.

"President, I'm your fan, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"That's fine, but when you're working, it's better to focus more on your work."

After signing for Mochizuki Momiji, and seeing the girl showing a slightly embarrassed expression, Muto Yu followed Hazuki Shizuku to continue inspecting the work of other employees.

Then we came to the programming department. Ying Ningning and Ming Haiyan are not currently involved in the production of "Left 4 Dead". For now, they are only familiar with the Type-L game engine.

The more you learn about it, the more you realize how incredible this epoch-making, large-scale game engine is. It even integrates a certain degree of artificial intelligence and has a certain degree of self-learning ability.

However, Yuu Muto and Shizuku Hazuki did not go over to disturb them. They just took a look from a distance and then left.

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

Before the release of "Left 4 Dead", a major event happened, or rather something that was expected. Someone contacted Alpha Studio, hoping to obtain the animation adaptation rights of "Clannad".

As a very excellent visual novel game, after a period of word-of-mouth and popularity fermentation, it is natural that an animation company with good vision will take a fancy to this work.

And the first to make the request was the animation company that had previously adapted "Love Metronome". Speaking of which, Kasumigaoka Utaha's work will be on the screen in about a month.

The release time of "Left 4 Dead" is quite close to that of "Left 4 Dead". Perhaps there is also an intention to take advantage of the popularity of the name Akihiko Kayaba?

In short, after thinking about it for a long time, Muto Yu decided to politely reject the cooperation requests from these animation companies, and then looked for small-scale animation production companies on the Internet.

It is quite troublesome to build a new animation production company from scratch. It is better to buy an existing one and use it directly after a simple adjustment.

Moreover, some game CGs will need to be produced by professional special effects studios. After acquiring an animation production company and training them, we can also hand over the production of special effects CGs to them in the future.

Through his own searches on the Internet and the open and secret investigations of Gamma Studio, Muto Yu finally identified an animation production company called Musashino.

Only then did Muto Yu remember that the girl who was laughing on the roller coaster when he accompanied Kato Megumi to the amusement park was actually Miyamori Aoi from "Shirobako", nicknamed Meow Sen, who loved donuts the most.

Moreover, after this company tried its best to gain the adaptation rights of "Love Metronome" but failed, it tried its best to find a new work.

In the end, the gamble paid off, helping the previously precarious company escape bankruptcy. However, the company is now facing some crises again.

Some of the original paintings that were originally outsourced were outsourced again to other people by the other party. Making a profit from the difference was not a big deal, but after multiple layers of outsourcing, the quality of some original paintings was extremely poor, and some painters simply ran away.

The current situation is that time is running out, but the original paintings collected are either of poor quality or simply do not exist. The original paintings of truly qualified quality account for less than one-tenth of the total.

Now Musashino is looking for a solution everywhere, so this matter has gradually become a big deal. At least in the animation production industry, it has become a well-known fact.

'This must be God's will!'

Looking at the current situation of Musashino, Muto Yu showed a faint smile on his face. For him, this was the best opportunity - the opportunity to acquire Musashino!

Of course, the most important thing is to pull the other party out of the quagmire. If it falls again, two huge mistakes will directly sentence the animation production company to death, and even changing its name and reorganization may not be able to save it.

When Muto Yu thought of this, his consciousness shifted to the list interface of the many games he had purchased.

Various visual novels such as the "Persona" series, "Ace Attorney", "Steins;Gate", and "Danganronpa" are quietly lying in the game library waiting for someone to produce them.

After all, Alpha Studio is a small studio, and Yu Muto has no plans to add more people. The Key Club trilogy left to them, plus "Senren Banka", is enough for them to produce for a long time.

Just as Musashino was facing a crisis, Muto Yu planned to acquire two industries at once. The toy factory had generated too much income for him during this period, so it was not difficult to realize this plan.

Afterwards, Yu Muto used his social media account (Akihiko Kayaba) to send a private message to the official account of Rouge En Rouge.

The other party responded quickly. After some simple pleasantries, Muto Yu directly stated his purpose.

He was planning to acquire Rouge En Rouge, which was obviously not something that the manager and operator of a social account could be responsible for, so Yuu Muto quickly added Line, the second representative of Rouge En Rouge.

Hashima: "Hello, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, I am the current representative of Rouge En Rouge, Hashima Iori."

Muto: "Hello, Mr. Najima, you probably already know why I'm here, but I'd like to reiterate my intention: I hope to acquire Rouge En Rouge."

Chapter 254: Acquisition of Rouge En Rouge and Musashino

"May I ask, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, why are you interested in a doujinshi club like ours? After all, there are countless other game studios willing to be acquired by you."

Muto: "There's no need to be so self-deprecating. Being number one in any field is something that shouldn't be underestimated."

Muto: "Although Rouge En Rouge is a doujinshi club, it is the largest, most reputable, and most powerful doujinshi club in all of Sakura Empire."

Muto: "Being able to make it this far has already proven your strength. Moreover, the doujinshi club is destined. The vast majority of your members have entered this industry out of their love for ACGN."

Although this is what is said, in fact, these are only the superficial reasons. The main reason is that this club has a certain weight in the original work of the previous life, and Muto Yu believes in the potential of this club.

Another point is that only those in the 2D world can understand the 2D world. If you want to find a suitable studio that is good at making visual novel games, it is better to directly acquire Rouge En Rouge.

Besides, both Hajima Iori and Rouge En Rouge's original founder Akane Kosaka (Akane Kosaka) are quite capable and can be considered qualified managers.

After the acquisition, Muto Yu only needs to give orders. He does not need to train new managers or command things personally.

"I didn't expect Kayaba Akihiko-sensei to think so highly of us."

Afterwards, Iori Hatashima tried to get some information out of Yu Muto through various means, and they chatted for a while.

Muto: "Let's stop with the pleasantries and get back to business. Regarding the acquisition of the club, can you make the decision?"

Hashima: "I can indeed make the decision. In fact, President Akane Benizaka is watching us chatting right here. I'm handing the phone over to the president now."

Muto: "So now, the person across from you is President Kosaka?"

Hashima: "Yes, I'm Akane Benizaka. Sensei Kayaba Akihiko can just call me Benizaka or Kosaka."

Akane Benizaka's real name is Akane Kousaka, so both Benizaka and Kousaka are acceptable.

As for the fact that she is obviously a lady from a wealthy family and is much older and more experienced than Muto Yu, yet she still keeps such a low profile, it is naturally because the more accomplished one is, the better.

Given Yuu Muto's achievements and status, it is normal for Akane Benizaka to lower her posture.

Muto: "Then President Kosaka has no intention of giving up Rouge En Rouge. I can reserve 10% of the shares for you."

"The shares are a minor issue, but I'm curious, what are you planning to do with my club, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko?"

Muto: "For now, I'll provide key drawings to an animation production company. After helping them through this crisis, I'll begin developing the various original projects I'll provide you."

Muto: "Of course you can occasionally create some doujinshi. As long as it's legal, I won't interfere too much."

On the premise that Akane Arisaka was not opposed to selling Rouge En Rouge to Yuu Muto, the two began friendly negotiations.

Yu Muto was not too concerned about the acquisition price, and Akane Benisaka also knew when to quit. In the end, she acquired 90% of Rouge En Rouge's shares at a price slightly higher than its market value.

For such societies that do not have any operational crisis and have stable and sustainable development, share transactions are usually purchased at a premium.

The transaction price they finally agreed upon was actually lower than the normal premium in the market, which saved Muto Yu some money.

Although the money saved is really nothing to Muto Yu, Akane Benizaka's behavior has made him feel quite favorable towards her.

People are such strange creatures. Even though Muto Yuya knew that Benisaka Akane did this just to use the money to buy his favor, he still developed a good impression of her because of her actions.

Is this probably what is called an open conspiracy?

However, Akane Benizaka has been able to run Rouge En Rouge to its current scale, which certainly requires some skill, and it is also normal for her to make concessions in exchange for favor.

Speaking of which, Yuya Muto often uses this method to promote and increase salaries for employees, and even distributes one or half a point of profit from the games they produce to the employees of Feiying Yuedong through distribution according to work.

Even without the side effects of the halo, employees who have worked under Muto Yu can still be loyal. As a worker, who doesn't want to meet a talented and capable boss who follows the principle of rewarding the best and distributing rewards according to work, and never makes empty promises?

If Muto Yu had the chance to meet such a boss in his previous life, others might not know, but he would definitely treat the company as his own home.

Because the situation in Musashino on the other side was urgent, at noon that day, Muto Yu met with Benizaka Akane in a cafe and signed a share transfer contract, and the money and goods were settled.

Then in the afternoon, Yu Muto went to Musashino Animation Production Company and after repeated discussions.

Due to the current difficulties faced by Musashi and the sincerity of Muto Yu's bid, 90% of Musashi's shares were successfully acquired, and the remaining 10% was left for President Marukawa Masato's retirement.

Of course, just like the game company, this 10% stake also means that Masato Marukawa has the right to invest up to 10% in animation. He can get as much profit as he invests. If he doesn't invest, he can only get 10% of the company's operating income.

Just like game production, if animation production makes money, the investor will still get most of the profits, not the animation production company itself, unless the investor is the production company itself.

After signing the contract, the cooperation between Rouge En Rouge and Musashino began, and the urgently needed original drawings would be completed by Rouge En Rouge working overtime.

The law firm cooperating with Gamma Studio will also handle the issue of multi-level outsourcing by outsourcing companies.

Everything was developing in a good direction, and then Yuya Muto made certain requirements for Musashino, asking him to complete the animation currently being produced on time, with quality and quantity guaranteed, and then to build related studios such as special effects animation and 3D animation.
