Chapter 197: Celebration Banquet
"Celebration banquet?" Ren asked suddenly.
The sound of his call also piqued the curiosity of Sakura, Yuka, and the others.
After hearing what Ren said, they couldn't help but pretend to eavesdrop.
"Yes, celebration banquet," Haruto Yamamoto smiled. "Amamiya-sensei... You are the great contributor to our success this time, so we hope you can come."
He had decided to continue forging a good relationship with Ren, and of course, he would invite him to the celebration banquet.
For this banquet, he also used his father's connections to book the best restaurant in Tokyo.
However, Haruto Yamamoto's father, Liang Jianlin, showed no aversion this time.
On the contrary, unexpectedly, his attitude towards him softened a bit.
Liang Jianlin also taught Haruto Yamamoto seriously, telling him, "If you have such a talent, remember not to worry about the profits or losses ahead, and try to build a good relationship with the other party. It's best to be his friend."
"Interests can't always bind a talent, nor can feelings always bind him, but the union of interests and feelings... can achieve it."
So Haruto Yamamoto decided to visit Ren more often in the future.
And... he set his sights on the IPs of Ren's other two works.
The manga Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man could also be turned into video games, right?
In any case, any work with a battle plot can practically be turned into a game.
Haruto Yamamoto has decided that he will also strive to get the IPs of Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man, two of Ren's works.
And if he gets them and says he wants to turn them into video games.
At that time, Ren will also help as he did when creating Cyberpunk 2077, right? But I'm afraid his calculations will be in vain.
Ren helped create Cyberpunk 2077 because he was also a loyal player of Cyberpunk 2077 in his previous life.
And he had played Cyberpunk 2077 in his previous life.
But he had never heard of the games for Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man in his previous life.
So even if Haruto Yamamoto really acquired Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man and planned to create games, Ren would remain indifferent.
But regarding the celebration banquet, Haruto Yamamoto mentioned...
"Alright, but I might have to bring some people with me at that time."
Ren's eyes lit up and he said, "What do you think?".
Who doesn't feel like going out to eat something delicious?
A big company like Hyperion Game Development shouldn't go to a low-quality restaurant for a celebration banquet, right?
Especially since Cyberpunk 2077 has become a resounding success.
How can we then book a three-star or higher hotel for a celebration banquet? The food from chefs at three-star or higher hotels must be delicious!
At least Ren didn't think his underworld cooking skills could compare to those of other restaurant chefs.
Unless he extracted a culinary skill from the system.
But even if he had it, cooking would be exhausting.
Ren usually cooked alone, but he didn't mind taking a break from tasting others' culinary skills.
And he also wanted to bring Sakura, Ayumi, and three assistants with him.
It's a good deal if you don't take advantage of it!
"Are you coming with someone? Who are they?" Haruto Yamamoto asked with curiosity.
He didn't feel bad or anything like that, he simply asked who Ren would bring.
"Who are they? My editor Ayumi, my three new assistants, and... a very, very good friend of mine," Ren said. "Haruto, is that okay with you?".
"Yes, yes," Haruto Yamamoto replied with a smile. "Of course, there's no problem. We'll hold a banquet at the Shangri-La on that date. We look forward to your presence, sensei!".
"Alright, no problem."
Ren replied that there was no problem and hung up the phone along with Haruto Yamamoto.
After hanging up, he turned to look at Sakura, Yuka, and the others, and said with a smile, "Next weekend there will be a banquet. You can go with me."
Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta, of course, were delighted to go. "Alright! Sensei!"
Sakura thought about her recent schedule. Although she was a bit busy, but...
"Alright, I'll go with you, Ren."
Ren nodded and went back to his work. The influence of Himeno's plot in Chainsaw Man still lingers, similar to that of Maine's exit in Edgerunners. Yusuke Sato had just finished watching the plot of Chainsaw Man at that moment.
Even he himself was stabbed in the heart by an improvised knife. However, he also admired the way Ren shaped Himeno's character in this plot. Then he took a deep breath, "I didn't expect... that even after her departure, he could continue to shape her."
It seems that Himeno's popularity will return to the top this week.
But Yusuke Sato felt he had learned a lesson.
Surprisingly... he could still shape the character's high point in this way.
Use the relics left by the character to awaken the emotions of the anime fans.
Not bad... A very good method...
"It has a touch of 'There is a loquat tree in the garden, which my wife planted when she died. Now it has grown tall and majestic.' I didn't expect it could be drawn like this in manga."
Yusuke Sato was very excited. Looking at the magazine in his hand, he said, "This guy... Where did this genius come from? He's incredible."
Suddenly, he felt very curious. Ren seemed to have reached the top right after his debut.
Before this, he had never heard of any mangaka he had worked with as an assistant. In general, there are very few in the manga industry who succeed as mangakas right after their debut.
Most mangakas are like Yusuke Sato, who worked as an assistant for a while to learn things and accumulate contacts from his master before debuting.
Or they are like Hiroki, who failed right after debuting and then became an assistant. Ren shocked the industry from his debut, not to mention ten years later.
Even in the entire history of the manga industry, there has never been such a talented mangaka.
That's why Yusuke Sato was very curious. Where did Ren come from?
From which mangaka did he learn or did he graduate from an art school? From which art school?
He was very curious.
But no matter how curious Yusuke Sato is now, he can't find out anything.
Ren did not hide his appearance or his real name.
In the manga industry, unless you hide your appearance and your real name, fans will always find a way to discover your information and your past.
Now Yusuke Sato waits, waiting for the moment when Ren's true information is discovered.
