Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

"What's going on? We were just having so much fun playing it and now they won't let us play anymore, and the disc is gone too."

"...Exactly, exactly, what kind of mess did you guys make?"

……

Seeing this scene, Uesugi Kenichi quickly walked over, a gentle smile on his face, maximizing his charm.

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect it to sell out so quickly. I apologize. There will be a lucky draw later, with some game-related merchandise."

The game will be available for purchase in app stores tomorrow, and you can also buy the soundtrack there if you want to buy the disc.

After Uesugi Kenichi tried to reason with everyone for a while, the crowd gradually calmed down.

Despite the disturbances, he was still very happy, which reflects the game's popularity.

This time, Blizzard Entertainment left a preliminary impression on the people who came to the exhibition.

After resting for only a short while, Kasumigaoka Utaha ran over and said, "Kenichi, we need you to go over there. There are quite a few reporters who want to interview you."

Kenichi Uesugi (Li Zhaohao) nodded and noticed that there were 4 or 5 reporters waiting over there. "I'll go take a look. You keep an eye on things here."

"Hello everyone, I wonder what questions you all have?" Uesugi Kenichi greeted the reporters politely.

In any case, try to maintain a good relationship with reporters, otherwise, they might write all sorts of things about you.

"Hello Mr. Uesugi, I'm a reporter from Game Vanguard. As far as I know, you are highly skilled in wood carving. Why did you decide to enter the field of games?" A middle-aged man asked with curiosity in his eyes, holding a recorder.

"If I had to pinpoint a reason, it would probably stem from a childhood dream. Games brought me a lot of joy when I was a kid, so I wanted to share that joy with others. After all, games are quick, aren't they?" Uesugi Kenichi casually made up a story without batting an eye, and he even believed it himself.

"I see. I've seen that your game has a high acceptance and positive reviews from players. How did you come up with the idea to make such a game, combining plants and zombies and giving it such magic? It's truly incredible."

"This idea came from a chance encounter. I once had a dream where I was attacked by zombies. Just when I was at a loss, the plants around me suddenly turned into warriors to protect me. So this idea came to me. I'm very happy that everyone likes it."

"Hello Mr. Uesugi, I'm a reporter from Aiyou. Will you continue to make games in the future?"

"Of course, I really enjoy this process of creating a new world. I will continue to explore and move forward on this path, creating games that bring joy and excitement to everyone."

"I see. So you created this game all by yourself?"

"Of course not. This game was made by me and my studio staff. To be honest, I only provided a direction. It was up to them to actually bring the game to life." Uesugi Kenichi pointed to Eriri and the others.

The reporters looked in the direction Uesugi Kenichi was pointing and then exclaimed in surprise. They had originally thought that these people were invited by Uesugi Kenichi to help promote the game, but they did not expect that they were also staff members of the game 573.

"Judging from their age, they all seem to be in high school, right?"

"Yes."

"It's truly astonishing that a game like this was created by a group of high school students."

Kenichi Uesugi smiled and said, "Don't underestimate them. Each of them has extraordinary talent and hard work."

"Now I'm even more excited for the games your studio will develop in the future."

Kenichi Uesugi smiled confidently, "Please look forward to it."

……

"What are you looking at?" Akasaka Ryunosuke asked curiously as he noticed Aki Tomoya staring intently at Uesugi Kenichi.

"Uesugi is really amazing," Aki Tomoya exclaimed. "If you didn't see his face, you really couldn't tell he was a high school student."

"Of course he's amazing, otherwise why would I choose to join his studio? Do you think I'm so easy to hire?"

Ryunosuke Akasaka spoke with an air of self-righteousness, explaining that since he had displayed his talent, many companies had invited him to join them, even as consultants, but he had rejected them all.

He also has his own pursuits. He won't go to famous companies because they don't reflect his value, and he looks down on ordinary companies.

He knew the stage he had been waiting for had arrived when Uesugi Kenichi appeared with his project.

Aki Tomoya looked at Akasaka Ryunosuke, then at the busy Kamiigusa Misaki and the others, and suddenly felt that everyone in this studio except him seemed to be a genius.

So what is my role in this?

Aki Tomoya began to ponder. He realized that he seemed to be completely useless in this studio. Apart from being a popular blogger, he didn't seem to be able to do anything.

He was useless in any area, including planning, illustration, scriptwriting, music, programming, and management.

Perhaps I should leave and return when I am capable enough.

He was self-aware enough not to shamelessly cling to them and share in the spoils of victory that were not his.

After finishing the interview, Kenichi Uesugi smiled and saw the reporters off, making sure to give each of them a red envelope before they left.

This impressed the reporters. So young and talented, and already accomplished, yet he showed no arrogance whatsoever, instead appearing remarkably mature.

It would be truly unjust if someone like that didn't succeed.

Perhaps a brilliant new star will emerge in the industry in the future, so we need to sell well in advance. Even if it's just for this red envelope, we must write about Uesugi Kenichi in the best possible way this time.

Before we knew it, it was five o'clock. Today had indeed left everyone quite exhausted.

From morning until afternoon, the place was always packed with people, either playing games on their computers or watching others play.

By the end of the day, Eriri felt her face was stiff from smiling so much that she couldn't even get angry. Saeko Busujima was right next to her, watching her with a half-smile that was making her feel like she was going to lose her soul.

For some reason, Eriri felt extremely afraid whenever she saw Saeko Busujima.

After tidying everything up, Uesugi Kenichi gave everyone a gentle smile and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. Come to my house tonight and let's celebrate the success of this exhibition."

Everyone smiled upon hearing this. Despite their exhaustion, they felt a great sense of accomplishment seeing their game so popular.

After dinner, everyone started playing around. Over time, their friendship had deepened without them even realizing it.

"Our game will officially launch on all platforms tomorrow, Tomoya, don't forget to promote it on your blog tomorrow."

"Yes, I will. Even if we don't mention that we made this game, I need to let everyone know about its quality." Aki Tomoya nodded.

"Take a look at this." Uesugi Kenichi took out a contract he had prepared beforehand and handed one to each person.

"What is this?" Eriri asked curiously as she took it, only to find that it was a contract.

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Uesugi Kenichi smiled and said, "This game should make a lot of money after it's released. I can't let everyone work for free, can I? Besides, we'll be creating even more games in the future, so I'd like to make these things clear to everyone in advance."

"Your contracts are roughly the same, but the profit sharing ratios are different. You can take them home and have your family members or lawyers take a look. If you have any questions or think there are any parts that need to be changed, you can tell me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with the image of Uesugi Kenichi. She took the contract and signed her name without even looking at it.

Kato Megumi was no slower than her, flipping directly to the last page of the contract and signing her name.

"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out?" Uesugi Kenichi said without holding back, watching Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi's actions, but he was secretly pleased.

"If you've sold it, you've sold it. I'll help you count the money." Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled softly.

"Eh, will I be able to sell them?" Kato Megumi asked, tilting her head in a very cute way.

Uesugi Kenichi felt like his heart had been struck a blow; to be honest, she was really cute.

Without any hesitation, Ryunosuke Akasaka took the contract and carefully examined it. After reading it, he raised an eyebrow.

To be fair, the terms were more generous than he had imagined. He received two percent of the original shares plus the copyright to his creations—everything he was entitled to.

Actually, he didn't care much about these things. If he wanted to make money from his AI technology, he could easily make a lot of money. But it was an attitude, a recognition of her ability and her as a person.

"I have no problem." He was a very decisive person, and since Uesugi Kenichi was so straightforward, he had no reason to hesitate.

Meanwhile, Misaki Kamiigusa, Eriri, and Tomoya Aki need to take it back and have someone check it for them.

Eriri wanted to sign as well after seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi sign, but Uesugi Kenichi stopped her. After all, this was no small matter, and her family had to see it first, even though he hadn't set any traps inside.

The specific details of each person's contract differed slightly in other aspects. For example, Aki Tomoya was not given shares; it was just a normal employment contract, except that he offered a higher salary.

Misaki Kamiigusa, Eriri, and Utaha each own 2% of the original shares and some of the creative copyrights.

This was earned through their own abilities, and of course, it was also a perk of being a studio veteran. In his view, Blizzard would definitely become a super company that rivals Nintendo in the future, and this two percent would bring them huge returns in the future.

After the celebration, it was late, so Aki Tomoya and the other girl said goodbye. He didn't let the girls go back, but let them stay. Anyway, his place was big enough, and the bedding was all new. After letting them choose a room and helping them tidy up, he went back to his room to rest.

However, not long after he fell asleep, his door was opened and a beautiful figure quietly slipped into his bed.

"Didn't you say you were going to rest today? Why did you come here again?" Uesugi Kenichi looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in his arms with a puzzled expression, and then reached out and hugged her even tighter.

Last night, she made a scene until midnight. This morning, she cried and said she didn't want to spend any more time with him for the next few days. Even though she started it herself and he couldn't stop her, she turned her back on him afterwards. It's just too much!

"Really? Did I say that?" Kasumigaoka Utaha looked completely innocent, clearly not intending to admit it.

Sensing Kasumigaoka Utaha's movement, Uesugi Kenichi quickly stopped her and whispered, "Are you planning to sleep with me? Go back now."

He grabbed Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand to stop her from moving.

"No, let me hug you for a while, it's so warm." Kasumigaoka Utaha started to whine. She found that Uesugi Kenichi had no resistance to her whining. Although she looked like a juicer, she was actually just a weakling. Uesugi Kenichi knew this all too well.

There was nothing he could do but let her do whatever she wanted. Luckily, his bed was big enough that he wasn't worried about her rolling off.

Now he understands why there's the old saying about pillow talk. In this kind of environment, even if Kasumigaoka Utaha asked him to kill someone, he would probably seriously consider whether to do it and how to do it more safely.

No, I'm starting to feel like doing something naughty. Uesugi Kenichi has a bit of a headache. Ever since that first time, he seems to have developed a taste for it, and Kasumigaoka Utaha never refuses him.

Normally, he wouldn't have to think so much, but now that Kato Megumi and the others are here, he can't just do whatever he wants. He knows all too well how much of a commotion this little girl will cause once she starts. No, no, no.

His mind raced as he tried to say something to distract himself.

"By the way, what do you think about our game's sales tomorrow? Will it get great reviews, but not many people will be willing to pay for it?"

"That shouldn't be possible. 500 discs sold out so quickly today, and everyone's reviews of our game are very positive, and they've been playing it for a long time. Surely no one will buy it."

Seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha's attention had been diverted, he silently gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness. He was confident that he could make the game even more exquisite than the version he had played in his previous life. Even if it didn't become a huge hit, it would at least be a minor success.

The two were very close, and a faint, delicate fragrance wafted from Kasumigaoka Utaha, a scent unique to her that Uesugi Kenichi was very familiar with.

As they were talking, it's unclear who started it, but the two ended up fighting again.

· ·Requesting flowers· ········

When Uesugi Kenichi woke up the next morning, he felt a little weak. Although he seemed to be the one who won every time, only men know the hardships a man endures. It's truly a case of an ox being worked to death...

What's more, he's such a troublesome little devil. Every time it's either three or four, and sometimes even five. Although his physical abilities are much better than ordinary people, he's not made of iron after all. You have to admit he's tough.

Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly went back in the middle of the night, and found it hilarious when she saw Uesugi Kenichi looking completely drained.

However, because there were other people around, she didn't laugh immediately.

Saeko Busujima smiled as her gaze shifted between Kenichi Uesugi and Utaha Kasumigaoka. She had heard everything clearly last night, but she didn't show any particular emotion.
