Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

However, those are not things he can think about right now. Currently, his system only has two functions: viewing the attribute panel and summoning things from another world. However, since Sakura was summoned, the summoning function has also stopped working, so now his system only has the panel function.

----

This is the only function of Gao Yumo's system right now: the panel, which visualizes what Gao Yumo knows and to what extent she has learned.

The skill visualization makes it easy for Gao Yumo to know what level she has reached. The levels range from 1 to 9, with 9 being the highest at the moment. She should be able to upgrade, but Gao Yumo doesn't know how to upgrade.

Gao Yumo only has one level 9 skill, which is programming. This may be because Gao Yumo was also a programmer in his previous life. He was level 7 when he first came to this world, and he has learned it to level 9 in the past few years.

All of these skills were self-taught by Gao Yumo. Although there were skill points provided by the system, Gao Yumo never used them. Moreover, Gao Yumo had also checked that skill points could only be used to level up a skill to level 9. If he wanted to advance further, he could not rely on the system; he could only rely on himself. In other words, he had to learn the skills on his own to break through.

But Gao Yumo understood. Why? Because level 9 is actually the limit of the world. With his current level 9 programming skills, he can already accomplish anything related to programming, and he will be the strongest in the world in every aspect, which is the limit that ordinary people can achieve.

Level 10, which is above level 9, is considered extraordinary. This is what the system told Gao Yumo. If Gao Yumo can break through to level 10 in programming, he can probably directly create artificial intelligence, and not just a simple one, but one that is completely indistinguishable from humans, making him the king of the internet.

The same principle applies to other skills. Gao Yumo learned swordsmanship for self-defense. If he reaches level 10, he will probably be able to do some things that can only be done in novels and comics. As for how strong he will be, Gao Yumo has not reached that level yet, and he does not know.

The reason why skill points are not needed is that there is only one source of skill points now, and each level up gives 1 point. Of Gao Yumo's 14 points, 5 points are the starting points.

Gao Yumo thought that these skills could be learned now, and the learning speed was not slow, so there was no need to use these precious skill points. They might be very useful in the future.

The experience gained from leveling up is increased through what Gao Yumo is currently doing: increasing his fanbase and his own fame. Each person gains a little experience. The reason why it's gained through this system is because it's called the ACGN Master System, which aims to make Gao Yumo a master in the ACGN field.

Therefore, he must increase his experience and level up through A (anime), C (comics), G (games), and N (novels).

However, simply reading his works doesn't grant experience points; you have to genuinely like his work for it to count, and even then, there are some issues with the judgment process.

During his three years of middle school, the four manga he read in Weekly Shonen Jump—Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and Dragon Ball—only raised his level to 10. This was because he used four different pen names, which caused some issues with the system's assessment of his level for those four manga; otherwise, his level should have been around 20 or 30.

But Gao Yumo didn't really care. Aside from skill points, there were no other benefits to leveling up. Besides, after today, his pen name wouldn't change and would always remain the same. His leveling speed would soon surpass that of these four books.

And it didn't say he couldn't admit that these four books were his works later, right? When his fifth pen name becomes famous, he can announce that these four are also his pen names. At that time, his fans will definitely do some funny things.

Especially now, fans of the four works that are frequently arguing online, since they are all published in Weekly Shonen Jump, it's inevitable that they will argue about which one is better, and they will often argue about which author has better artwork or better plot design.

When Gao Yumo announces that he drew all of these, it will let these arguing fans know that their arguments were all for nothing. Just thinking about it is quite interesting.

This is also why Gao Yumo didn't feel angry when the system malfunctioned, because it suited his wicked sense of humor.

...

"The name is decided, the first piece is decided, and our club can now be considered to be officially starting operations," Gao Yumo said happily, her dream slowly beginning.

"We'll start production tomorrow, right? You need to start casting the script tomorrow too," Eriri said. It starts tomorrow, but actually, their club's most basic structure isn't quite there yet. For a visual novel, the most important things are art and story, right?

"I'm sure I can find one tomorrow, don't worry," Gao Yumo said confidently, giving a thumbs up.

“Alright then.” Eriri nodded, trusting Gao Yumo.

"Alright, the club matter is settled. Now it's my own business. I have two new comics. Can you guys help me decide which one to submit?" With one thing resolved, the second thing began.

Chapter 31 Gao Yumo's 'First Comic Book'

"New manga? Aren't you going to draw those four volumes?" Eriri was taken aback at first, then asked curiously. Although she had only glanced at those four volumes a few times, they were drawn very well and the plots were quite interesting. Surely they wouldn't be cut?

"No, not really. I've actually drawn a lot of those four books, and I still have them all. I don't need to draw any new ones for a long time, so I'm planning to draw a new one," Gao Yumo explained.

"Oh, you're such a pervert! You've drawn so much in four books!" Eriri didn't know how to comment, so she could only say "pervert." This wasn't an insult, but rather a unique form of praise.

"I'll take that as a compliment." Gao Yumo smiled, not taking it to heart. He walked to his desk, opened a drawer, and picked up two folders, which contained his two comic books.

He walked back to the group, and this time he didn't show it to them right away, but introduced it first.

"This one has some suspense and some battle elements, called 'Summer Reboot,' and this one has cute and heartwarming romance elements, called 'Together Here and There.' Take a look for yourselves."

After the introduction, he handed the two folders to the group, who then had to look at them together. Both books were quite suitable as his first work under his new pen name, but he was undecided and could only let them choose.

Unlike the works submitted to the club, this time he genuinely hadn't decided which of the two books to submit.

Eriri and Megumi Kato picked up "Together Here and There," while Kaguya and Ai Hayasaka started reading another book, "Summer Reboot."

Both stories are great, and they're on completely different tracks. Anyway, the comic book company he's planning to submit to accepts all kinds of comics, so he can give both of them a try. He's quite confident, since the comics in this world definitely can't compare to what he draws.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that the comics in this world were simply lacking.

They watched intently, while Gao Yumo waited nearby.

In the book "Summer Reboot," Gao Yumo drew one chapter, stopping at just the right, subtle point—the protagonist's first reboot—which piqued the interest and left readers eagerly anticipating the next chapter.

"Tokio Tokio Here and There" was originally a four-panel comic with an old-fashioned art style. It's not that it's bad, but compared to the anime, the characters are somewhat inferior.

Gao Yumo continued to draw again. However, Gao Yumo did not simply copy everything. He revised the parts that were unreasonable in the plot or had a strange art style.

Therefore, this book, "Together Here and There," is a comic that originated from the original work but also includes Gao Yumo's own content. It is no longer a four-panel comic, and the plot has been supplemented. It is an excellent cute and healing romance comic, although there is not much romance. It is mainly cute.

"How are you feeling?" Gao Yumo asked curiously, needing their advice.

"This book I read is great! It's so healing and cute. Are you using a new pen name? If it's your first book, then both boys and girls should like it." Eriri's review was good. The female lead is a tsundere, and the male lead is an emotionally oblivious person. What kind of sparks will fly between them?

Moreover, the supporting characters are also very interesting. Whether it's the somewhat airheaded Haruno Hime or the second male lead, Inui Sakaki, this guy who's like a吐槽 machine, they are all very interesting supporting characters.

"It's a very good manga, Mo-kun," Kato Megumi commented. Although she doesn't read many manga and doesn't know how this one compares to others, she does read stories, and this one is quite good.

When Kato Megumi spoke, Eriri next to her shuddered and glared at Kato Megumi. She was too easy to scare people!

"Thank you both for your compliments. What about this one?" Gao Yumo nodded with a smile and looked at Kaguya's side, both of which needed evaluation.

"A suspenseful story, well written. Whether it's the mysterious cause of the female protagonist's death, the introduction of the Shadow Disease, or the appearance of the two younger sisters at the end, it's clear that the protagonist was shot by the second sister. Whether he died or not, and how things will develop, all of these make you want to keep reading. Your first chapter has laid out a great story, at least it makes me want to keep reading." Kaguya was very satisfied, and she no longer doubted Gao Yumo's storytelling ability.

"Are the stories we have so different?" Eriri asked in surprise after listening to Kaguya's summary. Now she had a deeper understanding of just how perverted Gao Yumo really was. She hadn't paid attention when Gao Yumo was talking about it.

He can write touching stories, R18 stories, cute romance stories, and even suspense stories. He also has four books on the action genre. Is this what genius is?

Eriri said she was devastated.

“Yes, it’s a completely different type of story from what you’re talking about. Let’s switch and take a look. I’m also curious about what else he can write.” Kaguya and Eriri exchanged manga and started reading another one they hadn’t seen before.

Gao Yumo continued to wait, wanting to see both before giving him the answer he wanted: which one to send. It was simply a matter of order; he would send both, but there might be other comics mixed in, so these two shouldn't be sent next to each other.

After a while, the girls finished reading another book in their hands, and Eriri paused for a moment before speaking.

"This is completely different from the one I just read! What's wrong with your brain?" Eriri didn't comment on the comic in her hand first, but instead commented on Gao Yumo. How did this guy come up with so many different plots?

"It's the same as yours, what else could it be? Okay, hurry up and give your evaluation." Gao Yumo didn't answer the question, but instead asked Ying Lili to give her evaluation.

Eriri took a breath and said, "It's a wonderful story. Even just the first episode gave me goosebumps."

She's now wondering if this shadow disease really exists, and it's definitely not a good thing; it looks like it can kill people. She hopes she won't see a second version of herself.

"Yes, it makes you wonder if there's another version of yourself, it's a bit creepy," Kato Megumi commented, but her completely expressionless face showed no sign of being frightened, or rather, the creepiness she described was completely different from Eriri's expression next to her.

Eriri seems to be having trouble with this kind of story, it's a bit eerie. "Summer Reboot" doesn't even have any scary parts, yet it's scaring her like this. Even when Kato Megumi was talking next to her, it didn't scare her. Of course, she should be fine in a while, right?

On the other side, Kaguya saw that they had finished speaking and said, "This is completely different from the previous story. It's the kind of story that makes people feel warm and comforted. When you read it, you can't help but feel warm."

This time, she wasn't just saying it casually. Kaguya's expression really improved; she wasn't so cold anymore. Gao Yumo had been watching her closely. So Kaguya liked this kind of story?

I feel like if I let her see me more, maybe she'll smile every day?

Gao Yumo had always thought that Kaguya didn't smile much because she had few friends, so inviting her to join the club was also an idea to make her smile more and not be so cold. Now it seems that it's not that troublesome, but that doesn't stop Gao Yumo from giving it a try.

We should adopt a two-pronged approach!

Chapter 32 Eriri Suffers Another Blow

"Then which book do you think would be suitable as the first work under my new pen name?" Gao Yumo wanted to know the answer.

"First, tell me which publisher you're planning to submit to? Different publishers have different styles, so it probably isn't Weekly Shonen Jump, right?" Eriri wanted to know more, so she wanted to clarify things before giving advice.

"Isn't there a new talent competition in Weekly Comic Book? I'm planning to submit my work there," Gao Yumo said with a smile.

"That rookie competition? You submitted your application to the rookie competition? What kind of rookie are you to submit your application to the rookie competition? That's really a weird hobby." Eriri rolled her eyes at Gao Yumo and complained.

Even Kaguya gave Gao Yumo a strange look, wondering how this guy's perverse sense of humor could be so extreme.

However, after Eriri finished complaining, she thought about it carefully. She was probably the one who knew the most about these things at the scene: "If it's Weekly Manga, you might try submitting both of your manga to their newcomer competition. If neither you nor we can make a good choice, why not let the publisher choose for themselves? They are professionals, aren't they?"

Hearing Eriri's suggestion, Gao Yumo's eyes lit up. He had to admit that Eriri had come up with a good idea this time. After thinking about it for so long, they should just let the professionals make the choice.

"Great idea, Eriri! I didn't expect you could come up with such a thought," Gao Yumo said excitedly, the words slipping out of her mouth.

But Eriri immediately bristled upon hearing Gao Yumo's statement, "What are you saying? What do you mean I could come up with that too?"

"A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, haha?" Gao Yumo could only scratch his head. He had accidentally blurted out what was on his mind. The main problem was that Eriri had a lot of questions on her mind today, but none of them had given him any advice.

"You bastard, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!" Eriri turned her head away haughtily, too lazy to look at him anymore.

Gao Yumo could only scratch his head. He really didn't mean to say that this time. But never mind, Ying Lili wasn't really angry. In fact, she was quite happy, since she had come up with a good idea before the others.

"Then I've decided to submit two comics to Weekly Comic Books." With that settled, Gao Yumo picked up the two folders and put them away, then prepared to submit them to Weekly Comic Books.

"But your book 'Summer Reboot' might not have enough chapters, right? If you draw a few more chapters, it might still be rejected, right?" Eriri reminded Gao Yumo after seeing that he had made such a decision.

"I know. I'll draw a few more chapters for both books before submitting them. I don't want any unexpected things to happen." Gao Yumo smiled. He didn't want to see anything unexpected.

"But there are only a few days left. Do you have enough time to draw?" Eriri asked uncertainly. She remembered that there were only a few days left before the newcomer competition.

"It's okay, I'll finish drawing quickly. I should be able to finish it by the time you go to pick up your things this afternoon." Gao Yumo unintentionally said something that would shock anyone who knew her. Just look at Eriri; she knows, so she's the most surprised right now. The others didn't react at all.

"What! All afternoon? Four or five chapters?" Eriri's surprised voice came out without any attempt to hide it, but she quickly calmed down. After all, she had learned too many surprising things today, so this suddenly felt okay. But for someone like her who couldn't finish drawing before the deadline, it was still a huge blow.

So Gao Yumo didn't respond to her words and decided not to discourage Eriri any further.

"Alright, we've finished discussing everything for today. Let me show you the activity room. I've prepared a room for us to create our works later." Gao Yumo greeted the group and led them out of the room. Of course, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai knew the way, but she mainly guided the other two.

The four followed. What Gao Yumo was referring to was his original study, which had a table, chairs, and sofa—everything he needed. There was no need to prepare anything else. He didn't go to his study often anyway, since reading in his room was just as good.

Kaguya glanced at it; wasn't this his study? What preparations had been made here? But she didn't say anything.

"Although it's smaller than your room, it's still a very big room. It could easily accommodate more than a dozen people," Eriri commented. Anyway, it's bigger than her room—no, it should be said that it's bigger than her room at home. She's moving here soon, and her room will be just as big.

"Isn't it great that it's big? Besides, if this room isn't enough, there are several empty rooms nearby, the kind without even beds, so we can use those," Gao Yumo added.

"There should be a dozen or so rooms on this floor. Yours is on the right when you go up the stairs, this room is on the left, and then there are several empty rooms. So whose room is the one at the very back? I saw a nameplate on it," Eriri asked, referring to the room she had just entered.

"That's my younger sister's room. She doesn't want to go out for some reason, but I have a way to get her to go out. I'll try it for a while. Eriri, you might need to help her out then," Gao Yumo said simply.

"I'll help? Okay." Eriri could tell from Gao Yumo's words that the reason her younger sister didn't want to go out was definitely not that simple, so she didn't ask any further questions.

"Should we let Izumi Sagiri go out? You'd better be gentler," Kaguya reminded her, worried that Takayuki's method might be coercive, and Sagiri's mindset wasn't very good.

Kaguya's worries were unnecessary. Not to mention that Takahata Mo would definitely not use any coercive methods, Sagiri's mental state was better than they thought. In fact, she had already let go of the past. She didn't go out simply because of social anxiety and being a homebody. You know, Takahata Aoi often came to talk to Izumi Sagiri. Sagiri's mentality was really not as bad as they thought.

"Don't worry." Gao Yumo gave a thumbs up. His method was gentle and had a high success rate, and he had more than one method.

"That's good." Kaguya nodded; Gao Yumo's assurance was reassuring.

After listening to their conversation, Eriri became even more certain that her younger sister really did have a bad past. She decided not to ask any more questions for now, and instead looked around at the layout of the room. The number of tables would definitely need to be increased in the future, but it should be enough for now.

"There shouldn't be any problems with this room now. Any problems that arise later can be resolved," Gao Yumo said, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then everything's settled. Let's go downstairs. It'll probably be lunchtime soon. Eriri and Megumi will be going home this afternoon. Eriri can pack her luggage now, you don't need too much. I have most of the daily necessities at home. You just need to bring a change of clothes. Megumi, you should also go home and ask your parents if you can move into my house."

"Okay, I know. Anyway, you've all agreed on my side. All I need to do is pack my luggage. I even feel like my mom has already packed my luggage for me when I go home," Eriri said weakly. It really wasn't anything she had to do.

Kato Megumi nodded. "I understand, Mo-kun. I'll ask him when I get home this afternoon."

Now that Kato Megumi is suddenly speaking, Eriri's reaction is a bit smaller. She'll probably get used to it soon.

Chapter 33 That Gentle Kiss

When the group went downstairs to the restaurant, Sakura had just finished preparing lunch, and Kaname was helping her. Kaname's cooking skills weren't very good, but she was still good at helping out.
