Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

Beinuo was in a trance.

He thought about saying goodbye to "everyone" properly and no longer being attached to them.

But if, as Lin Dao said, the system places the world that was once the most familiar to us in a place that is out of reach, this is undoubtedly a torture for people.

In order to return to that world, employees must work hard for the system. Beinuo thought about it for a while, and endless sorrow surged in his heart, and resentment and anger suddenly surged in his heart.

Unfortunately, the rampant emotions could not solve any problems, so Bei Nuo took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down as quickly as possible.

Lin Dao looked at him silently, his indignation just now had long disappeared. Lin Dao also wanted to get to know the newcomer in front of him better. Just relying on his performance in the animation series was not enough. Whether Beinuo only had luck or had real potential, all these needed to be slowly understood.

In less than two minutes, Bei Nuo sorted out his thoughts, "Lin Dao, I need to ask a few questions."

"Excuse me."

"Can the world of anime be hung in the store be transferred to other employees?"

"Yes, but each world is unique. Each employee's store is independent. If the 'world' is transferred from employee A to employee B, the 'world' will be lost forever in employee A's store. You are quite creative in asking this question first, but I just said that when an employee dies, all his property will be reclaimed. Even if he has not purchased a 'world', the system will reclaim it."

"Nothing, I like to collect more clues so that it is easier to organize the most suitable strategy. So, how do you price the 'world' in the case of multiple playback indicators?"

Lin Dao smiled. "According to the first indicator, which is the indicator for the 'temporary worker' period, you are very perceptive."

The answer is the same as Beino's conjecture.

In other words, after the first season of "Oregairu" ends, the store will sell it for 1.8 million popularity points. Although the price is high, as long as you work hard and accumulate slowly, this goal can still be achieved.

The current average income for employees is 500 million popularity points/a whole season of anime. If you work hard, you can purchase it after going through 36 worlds. Naturally, those with ability can do it faster.

The system will make things difficult for employees, but it will not let them fall into endless despair.

The reason why Beinuo has such speculation actually stems from the enthusiastic atmosphere of the support interface.

If the system sets unattainable goals for employees, then employees will lose motivation. After all, formal employees are screened by the system, and only by fully mobilizing the manpower under their control can a positive cycle be formed.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the system is extremely black-hearted. Beinuo was relieved after hearing Lin Dao's response.

Lin Dao added: "In fact, the system is playing psychological tactics from the beginning to the end. It sets a target for newcomers, and then tells them that they only need to complete half of it. Most newcomers will feel lucky, and when the recording is over... Oh, by the way, Beinuo, you haven't experienced it yet. After the recording is over, the system will use similar encouragements such as "employee performance is excellent" to reduce the price of "world" by half, which can mobilize some enthusiasm."

"I'm very familiar with this method." Beinuo couldn't help but recall his past work experience, but then he brought the topic back to the topic, "Lin Dao, are there employees who are not interested in the 'world'? Or will employees lose interest in the 'world' as time goes by?"

“Well, very few.” Lin Dao recalled briefly, “A very few employees would hate the first world and have no need to purchase it, but these are special cases. After all, the system has already selected suitable souls before the assessment.”

"The right soul?"

"Let me put it this way. If the system identifies a soul as being extremely evil, it will be directly eliminated. As for whether it has become fuel, I don't know. But I have never met anyone with evil intentions. Perhaps they are not even worth the assessment."

"Wait a minute, if employees need to play the villain, then there won't be anyone available?"

"That's right. Most film studios are now eager for villains with superb acting skills. After all, not everyone can be a cruel and ruthless guy, and many employees are also reluctant to play such roles because disgusting characters are difficult to win the love of the audience. After performing a scene, the income is not even one-tenth of that of ordinary supporting roles."

"Too……"

"Oh, you also raised a question about the impact of the passage of time on employees. In fact, the system has already taken care of this problem, because when employees enter the set, they can choose to block or delete their memories. Otherwise... the more experiences an employee has, the greater the pressure on their soul. Once the limit is exceeded, it will cause the soul to disintegrate. This is another way for employees to die besides becoming fuel."

"That is to say... the system doesn't want employees to forget the past easily."

"That's right, so what will you choose? You have only experienced part of it now. If you don't want to have any concerns, letting it go now is also a good option." Lin Dao stared straight at Bei Nuo, with an extra scrutiny in his eyes.

Bei Nuo didn't think much about it and replied, "I am a person who always prepares for the worst. Whether it is separation forever or fighting hard, I can accept both outcomes, but... I just don't want to lie to myself and let me give up halfway. It's better to kill me. So Lin Dao, what is your intention?"

Lin Dao raised his lips and said in an appreciative tone: "My goal is simple, even very plain, because I like to meet interesting people, and you! Beinuo, you are interesting enough! So I want you to join me, don't worry, following me is definitely more comfortable than the system! If you want to stay in the world of "Oregairu" forever, I can help you realize it, how about it? This deal should be a good deal."

Bei Nuo pondered for a moment.

He had never expected that the other party's intention was just to make friends, but the system did not give any feedback that Lin Dao was lying, which meant that what Lin Dao said was sincere.

Beinuo thought about it for a while. Given Lin Dao’s status and the time he had experienced, it might be difficult for anything to attract him anymore.

"To be honest, I don't think I'm interesting. Also, why do you have such a strong desire?"

Lin Dao laughed, "Whether it's interesting or not, I have my own set of criteria to judge, or rather, I see the shadow of someone in you, and my hunch tells me that you will give me a surprise. As for why I like to do this kind of thing, it's actually very simple... Because I am a human being. No matter how many worlds I experience, I am still a human being. As long as I am a human being, I will need interpersonal relationships. The people I used to be familiar with have long left me, but I have lived for so long. This may be the result of the excessive strength of the soul."

Bei Nuo felt the sincerity of the other party's words, so he asked the topic he cared about more, "Are there any employees who have become gods?"

"No." Lin Dao asserted directly, "Because we can't become gods... Even if someone has played the role of a god, it is just an illusion and may even kill the employee on the spot. You should have used 'mental enhancement' before. Do you know why the system limits you to buying it only three times? Because newcomers can't bear it, and the audience can't resonate with 'gods'. It's better to say that 'gods' are similar to 'geniuses', both of which are existences that most people can't understand."

Bei Nuo stared at the smooth desktop and seemed to understand what Lin Dao meant. "I can't understand and empathize...so I can't bring popularity."

"Your mind works very quickly. The system is not interested in training a group of idle fools." Lin Dao lit another cigarette. "I have actually met a god-like character. She was not an employee, but someone on the set. She is immortal and has endless power. She has existed for thousands of years, but her ego has long been tortured by loneliness, so she wants to die... and the reason why I didn't die may be because my companions followed closely."

Bei Nuo felt a strong sense of loneliness from his tone. Putting himself in his shoes, he realized that if he were not dead either, he might choose to end his life.

However, the people on the set...

This topic caught Bei Nuo's attention, "What do the people on the set belong to?"

Lin Dao glanced at him calmly, then said slowly in an extremely firm tone: "They are all real human beings, not much different from us in the past. Otherwise, how can we impress the audience? It is even more impossible to make the employees feel concerned."

The figures of Yukinoshita, Yuigahama and others appeared in Kitano's mind, and then he made up his mind.

"I agree to join your management."

This answer was exactly what Lin Dao had expected. He joked, "I don't know how to manage. The title of 'management' is just something the system adds without authorization. I prefer to call my organization a 'troupe', but well——"

"Beino, welcome to join my 'troupe'."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Bei Nuo asked, "So... you're just joining verbally?"

"..." Lin Dao sighed helplessly, "Because you haven't finished recording your first anime, I can't even send you an invitation. If an employee wants to join the management, he needs to activate his identity as a 'city' resident."

Kitano nodded, "I see. But, if I finish recording... the world of Oregairu will enter the store."

"Don't worry, leave the next thing to me." Lin Dao lifted his bangs, narrowed his eyes, and actually revealed a contemptuous smile. If Beinuo had not communicated with him for a long time, he might really have regarded him as an evil force.

Next.

Lin Dao told Bei Nuo all the special information he knew.

After listening to it, Beinuo couldn't help but sigh at the various amazing actions of his predecessors, but he could also empathize with them, because if he were to think about it, he would probably come up with a lot of weird ideas.

"This method is currently the most stable and the most clever way to continue." Lin Dao's face was full of sarcasm towards the system. "Because the conditions are quite harsh and the props required are relatively rare, so Beinuo, you are really lucky. Be careful when you walk next time, don't get run over by a truck."

"It's hard for a truck to run over me... But it's really rare, or I should say, fortunately I'm cautious and didn't consume too many deviation gears." Beinuo rehearsed the content of the conversation just now, and it was indeed feasible.

The two sides went over the details again.

Lin Dao raised his chin, indicating that they could start work.

He first sent a prop to Beinuo, which seemed to be a useless prop at first glance, called "Permission Reset".

Just hearing the name, it seems to be somewhat useful, but its actual effect is speechless.

[Permission reset: reset a primary permission and return the consumed resources. ]

Beinuo used it directly.

In addition to the permissions that come with the store, he now only has two permissions left: "World Support Permission" and "Animation Production Station Permission".

Both permissions are entry-level, but the resources consumed when purchasing them are completely different.

The former is purchased through "Support Gear" and the latter is purchased through "Deviation Gear".

According to Lin Dao, "Support Gear" is a common resource and can be easily obtained as long as you participate in support missions.

But "Deviation from Gear" is completely different. It is a limited resource in the world of "Oregairu" and can be used to exchange for "broadcasting rights."

What Beino needs to do is to reset the "animation production station authority" and recover the "deviated gears" that have been consumed.

This gives him 49 gears.

As for why there is one less?

Because I haven’t received any money yet... Unless the seventh episode is aired, I can get the remaining gears.

But Lin Dao was too lazy to wait, and very wealthy, he gave Beinuo another prop called "A Little Cheaper".

[A little cheaper: When exchanging any resource, you can reduce the resource cost by 1%. 】

It is really just a little cheaper. The system is really stingy to the extreme when it comes to discounts.

Fortunately, the effect is on the authority of the sale price of 50 gears. Gears cannot be calculated using decimals, so the consumption of 1 gear will be forced to be reduced.

As a result, Beinuo bought the "second season broadcast rights" on the spot at the price of 49 gears.

At the same time, he obtained the "broadcasting rights" that come with——

Anime production station, intermediate level authority.

Up to now, Beinuo has obtained the right to broadcast the second season and an intermediate authority in advance, even though the first season has not yet been completed.

Of course, the world of Oregairu has not yet entered the store, so Kitano has no way to buy it.

But who said we should buy the world?

In the animation production platform, in the intermediate authority, there is a function to extend the recording, which can extend the recording time to create better content.

However, fees will be charged when using this feature.

The system is cost-conscious and will not allow employees to extend their contract for too long, so the pricing is quite outrageous. The system sets prices based on the number of views of the anime. Extending the contract of "Oregairu" for another year would cost nearly 10 million popularity points, which Beinuo simply cannot afford.

So, what should be extended?

He chose to extend the second season.

Because the second season has not yet started, the number of views is 0.

The system will calculate in another way, which is the default calculation method.

"Do you remember the price of the system's handling fee?" Lin Dao asked with a smile.

Bei Nuo checked it out, "12%, but what does the system use as a reference?"

"Of course, we use the first indicator, which is your 1.8 million views. Multiplying the two together gives us the system's base price, which is 2241 million popularity points. As long as you spend that much popularity points, the recording time can be extended indefinitely."

"The senior before was really a genius." Bei Nuo couldn't help but sigh.

According to the system's data, not every employee successfully purchased the "world", so even if the "world" is sealed, it is useless if it cannot be sold, so there is a default price.

Lin Dao smiled lightly, "That senior is very lucky. His multi-time and space coefficient is greater than 1.5, so he will be treated specially by the system. I have participated in the show for so many years, and it has basically fluctuated around 1. You are also the lucky one."

"Then I'll buy it."

"Ah."

Beinuo doesn't have so much popularity, but Lindao does.

The popularity value of more than 20 million is less than one-tenth of Lin Dao’s assets. Of course, this is out of recognition of Beinuo.

"Ah..." Beinuo clicked on the payment button, but found something wrong.

Lin Dao was surprised and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

"I also got a 1800% discount, so it only cost me... about million."

"..."
