"If you do not change the subject at will, the System would like to know whether the User wishes to participate or not." The System asked as it could see that Jin was once again changing the topic, a bad habit that he always used to get away with the things at hand.
"But I am really curious about that Rei thing! If I can help out, maybe my name could also flourish. Teehee~" Jin tried to push for the benefits of being famous to be within the movies when it was so obvious to the System that popularity from the movie was limited mainly due to a few reasons.
Jin is not popular in the first place in the film industry, and he acting within it would probably wish to wear a mask in order to hide his identity as usual despite the fact that he desperately wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid any discussion.
Not only that, no matter how one sees it, watching Gunndam is a niche film, and unless people are truly amazed by not just its graphics but also its story, the sales of the film could only work if it is a resounding success.
However, there were too many hiccups according to the System's records, stating that Rei aside from doing the System's tasks, he had been handling the film rather poorly because he rather did it as an independent studio rather than allowing any major publisher to assist him with it.
After all, he wanted the profits for himself and he believed that the System and Jin wanted the profits to themselves as well.
That was why while the delay is unfavourable, Rei's decision to change into live action is to buy more time for the studio. But each time Rei's decision to make it bigger and better stood out for the public to see, the more they felt like it was going to fail.
Partially due to the ambition that Rei had (not to mention the time he did not have.) The System felt that it might actually be a good thing for Jin to come in and intervene in order to save the film or else it will be spiraling into hell and it becomes an investment that would not be worth saving any longer.
"The System is going to give the User a mandatory quest." Judging from the System's point of view, Jin had been too wishy washy when the stakes were high in this current situation. "Save Engineer Rei's film by enacting it the way you want it to be.
Publish it using Engineer Rei's name and when the film produces enough money, use it to invest in his current studio and the actor & actress that he wished to employ."
"That sounds...fair," Jin said but the System was not done.
"The filmmaking must be done before the Finals of the Martial Artist Competition. You will be inserted as a last minute competitor to fight against the finalist."
"So, I am like the last boss before the Finalist could take the crown?" Jin asked and thought that was not a bad idea. It felt like there was a twist in the martial artist competition, allowing him to debut as the dungeon supplier boss.
"Yes, it is your choice to mask up or not. Because even if the User do or don't, you will be bound to win the competition. People will expect you to go to the international competition of Cultivators and Mages as China's representative. Otherwise, as its shadow representative. Also, even if you masked up, as long as people are interested, they can find who he is." The System explained.
"Well, you make some sense." Jin started to ponder. If he did not join as a competitor but joined as an obstacle to the Finalists, it would greatly increase his clout for being an extremely strong cultivator.
And to be a shadow representative had all the vibes that Kraft would like to have because it sounded like Jin would be the backup that no one had expected to defeat most if not all of the international representatives. He also believed that other countries have their shadow representatives and they were definitely not the kind the morally right people would want their country to represent.
But sometimes infamy has its perks as well and as much as the citizens of said country would hate their shadow representative, there was no denying that if they win the competition for their country, it would bring more benefits than harm to the country. People all over the world will know that the said country has someone they should not mess with.
Of course, some said it is subjective since throwing a nuclear missile down or igniting a series of magic explosions could bring down a city. So what will the strongest person in the world do to prevent all of those? After all, 'he is just one person'.
Needless to say, it might look like a competition of formality but there is still prestige that the strongest person originated from this particular country.
Sure, a series of magic explosions will be able to decimate a city but it will also give ample reason for the strongest person in the world to come in and kill every single soldier that might be responsible for that and more.
That was what the System wanted to portray to the world that Jin is someone who should not be messed with.
At the same time, if he could not win to be the strongest cultivator in the world, it would definitely be an eye opener for the System and to see whether there were indeed people with cultivation or magic powers that are beyond the so call rumour Grade 20 and into the real cultivation grade that Jin was utilising.
Hence Jin contemplated a little and decided to give it a try considering that it was a quest that was given to the dungeon supplier after a long time. "So, what's the reward? You know I do not really need money or any more stronger minions. Unless you can provide me a Higher Celestial or another Higher Demon like Baal."
"Indeed, the System does not have any rewards that could assist you considering you have reached heights a normal human does not usually have. Be it power or wealth. However, the System might have something that could assist you in the worst possible outcome." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"You mean… you can cheat death? I thought you could no longer reverse time considering how you do not have any more processing power to spare. And money can only buy you that much processing power. Unless we have more than just boatloads of money."
"During your disappearance into the Synthesis World, Rei's family members were able to disclose a portion of the Mecha Titan schematics to the System. It further increases the knowledge of the System in the production of Mechas.
"And? You wish to withhold that and you have yet to release that for the minions or the Research Department to study?" Jin asked and the System gave an affirmative response to it.
"Yes, the System withheld the data mainly due to the fact that if the information were to be decimated to the production line, you would have an army of Mechas that is superior to the current Mecha World."
"Isn't that a good thing? But I cannot believe you are withholding such information from me."
"The problem with such mass production is that we need to either destroy hundreds of space colonies to get what we want or the System can open passage to a new world where you might be able to find such materials in abundance."
"Oh… so it's not that you are withholding information for nothing. Its because we do not have the capability to produce it. And the reward that is available to me is actually a brand new world to explore…. Or really be the villain and destroy the Mecha World I mean Mecha universe? I am so confused about the naming convention but you get where I am coming from."
"Yes, we refer to the world as Mecha World but in actuality, their technology is so advanced that they had expanded through multiple galaxies that it is counter institutive to call it the Mecha World when it should have been the Mecha Universe. Yet, the naming conventions to the places we had gone were-"
"Stop right there. I get what you getting. Okay, okay. Let's do it. Let's see how far we can get with the martial competition as well as Rei's film. I do feel a little excited doing the latter though.
Hehe!"
"The System will provide the necessary backup as well push the minions to assist with the film making. Ex Bellator Kiyu will also be informed to assist with the movie making. Do note that it is tedious work and considering how Kiyu needs time to post process it, the System will make the objective easier by narrowing the quest objective.
Finish the filming process before the martial artist competition finals."
"Fine, I take that challenge on, regardless of the reward."
