"5?"
Tanaka Masao nodded thoughtfully.
"So, what level is that?"
System: ...
I thought you'd know, seeing how thoughtful you looked.
[Charm attribute: 5 for a well-proportioned face with no obvious flaws, 10 for perfect appearance.
After 10, appearance will not change, but it will enhance one's personal aura, which helps to increase the favorability of other beings.]
Tanaka Masao was quite satisfied with this description of his looks.
He then asked the System for information about other attributes.
Strength refers to one's muscle power. In theory, it can be increased infinitely, but the physique attribute must keep up.
Otherwise, one might break their own bones with a single punch.
Agility, in addition to running speed, also includes one's reaction speed, body coordination, and so on.
Physique, the strength of bones, internal organs, blood vessels, etc., as well as recovery ability, stamina, resistance, etc., can comprehensively strengthen the body.
If the points are high enough, being immune to all poisons, regenerating severed limbs, and being impervious to blades and bullets are not impossible.
Spirit refers to memory, concentration, insight, and so on.
The Luck attribute is quite special; it's a rather metaphysical concept.
The higher the value, the higher the chance of encountering good things, but this does not mean that one will not encounter unfortunate events.
Conversely, even if the luck value is not high, one may still encounter good things.
After understanding the functions of various attributes, Tanaka Masao raised another question.
"System, why are there free attribute points? Didn't I draw a random talent?"
Although these attribute points are not bad, one point of attribute definitely cannot compare to a talent.
[The random talent purchased by the Host does not necessarily result in a talent.
However, please rest assured, Host, this System has thoughtfully prepared a guaranteed mechanism for you.
For every ten random talents purchased, one professional skill is guaranteed to appear.
For every ninety purchases, one talent is guaranteed to appear.]
This... this familiar mechanism.
Tanaka Masao hadn't expected to see such a familiar mechanism even after being reincarnated.
You must be a system from the Old Mi family.
He felt this System was a bit of a rip-off, given these probabilities.
He imagined that one talent he wanted might cost nine million Depravity Points.
"Ah, whatever, at least random attribute points are not bad, and earning Depravity Points isn't too difficult."
[Host, I didn't say that free attribute points would appear one hundred percent of the time.]
Tanaka Masao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"What do you mean, there are other things?"
[That's right, the prize pool also includes many other things, and free attribute points are just one of them.
However, if the Host wants free attribute points, it's not impossible. Currently, [Free Attribute Point] has been listed as a product in the mall.
The Host can purchase it at any time.
Note: Separate purchases will not count towards the guarantee.]
A scam, this is definitely a scam.
Tanaka Masao could already smell the scent of a black-hearted capitalist.
He opened the mall, and sure enough, there was a new item.
[Free Attribute Point x1: Price 100,000 Depravity Points.]
...
A string of beautiful words, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Tanaka Masao gasped, finally venting his inner dissatisfaction.
He didn't want to look at this annoying thing anymore.
It was simply a bottomless pit.
However, as long as he earned enough Depravity Points, he believed that one day he would be able to empty the System's prize pool.
System: Young man, you should work hard to earn money for draws.
Tanaka Masao opened the two [Random Items] he had purchased.
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining...]
The familiar manga manuscript paper appeared. Looking at the content, Tanaka Masao exclaimed.
"My goodness, it's a doujin again!"
This time, the doujin featured the famous two flowers.
Sunflower and Hydrangea.
The quality was still as good, and the plot was still as captivating.
"Sigh, it seems I'm destined to get rich through this path."
Shaking his head somewhat helplessly, Tanaka Masao dialed Sawamura Sayuri's number.
"Moshi moshi, Tanaka-kun."
"It's me, Xiao Baihe Onee-san."
"Tanaka-kun, why didn't you come to play this weekend? Onee-san really misses you."
"Ah haha, I've been quite busy lately. I'll come over next week."
"Then it's a deal. You must come next week. Oh, by the way, Tanaka-kun, is there something you called about?"
"Oh, it's like this. I have two new doujins here, and I need to trouble Xiao Baihe Onee-san to help publish them."
"Eh~, new doujins, so fast!"
Sawamura Sayuri on the other end of the phone was quite surprised.
"Tanaka-kun has been busy lately, could it be because of this? You need to take care of your health, don't overwork yourself."
As a fellow artist, she naturally knew the hardships involved.
So, regarding Tanaka Masao's high productivity, she first expressed concern about his health.
Tanaka Masao was a little touched. Although they hadn't known each other for long, Sawamura Sayuri was indeed a very good senior.
"I'm fine. I always pay attention to resting."
"That's good. In that case, I'll help you contact the publisher."
"Don't you need to check the quality of the doujins first?"
"No need. I trust Tanaka-kun's skill. Just bring the manuscripts next time."
"Then thank you very much, Xiao Baihe Onee-san."
...
After hanging up the phone, Tanaka Masao opened his social media account for [Takeda].
He also believed in the quality of the System's products, so they would definitely be published.
So he planned to promote them in advance.
Because of the hot sales of his previous doujin, his social media account had gained many followers.
He had over thirty thousand followers.
These were all loyal customers who had read the doujin and sought him out.
They discussed the plot in the comments, praised Tanaka Masao, and expressed their love.
Of course, they were also very much looking forward to new works.
So, after Tanaka Masao posted a preview of his new work, people quickly commented below.
[Did I see that right? Takeda-sensei is releasing a new work?]
[That's right, that's right. It's only been a week, and the new work is already ready. Takeda-sensei is too prolific.]
[Oh, Takeda-sensei, slow down. I haven't fully appreciated this current one yet. My body might not be able to keep up.]
[Haha, I've almost worn out this one. I've been looking forward to new products for a long time.]
[The art style of the new work is still so beautiful. I really like this long-haired, straight-haired beautiful girl. That smile makes her look so pure. It must be a pure love story.]
[I prefer the other one, a mature woman in the workplace.]
Everyone commented on the post, expressing their anticipation for the new work.
You couldn't even find a single negative or bad review among them.
Looking at such a friendly comment section, Tanaka Masao nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone is a pure and kind child."
