Since "Fire Punch", in the memory of his previous life, is a black and white manga, it is possible to color it according to some painted parts of the original artwork and the manga's setting.
All of this requires Ren to design the color division himself.
In fact, this is not too complicated.
But there will be more things to do soon: book signings, supervising animation production, and "Cyberpunk 2077".
Although the pre-game work, with most of the problems, is already done, the subsequent development process still requires some attention.
Ren plans to draw "Fire Punch" first and then give a big surprise to the fans who support him in this world.
At that time, he will negotiate with the manga company to release "Fire Punch" directly as a standalone book series.
Treat it as a gift for the fans! So he's going to speed up the process. "Fire Punch" has 83 chapters, and he will draw and color all of them in the next six months!
At this moment, Ren naturally needs the System's help.
As for another requirement, it's another idea of his, which coincidentally came true.
"The coloring skills are: [Magic Hand of Color (Silver)] [Color Atlas (Gold)] [Magic Color Pencil (Platinum)] [Color Spiritual Flash (Platinum)] [Future Color (Diamond)], please explain in detail what color skill you need."
The System replied coldly.
"It's just that... it doesn't have to be too powerful, just the most suitable color composition for "Fire Punch", and it's better if it's the kind... if my previous life's "Fire Punch" had been a color manga, that kind of color composition would be the most suitable."
Ren thought for a moment and said.
"What the host needs is the best possibility for a parallel world or the future. It has searched for skills related to this. The following are related skills:
[Prophet's Dream (Master)] [Eighth Sense·Alaya Consciousness (Secret)] [World Electronic Library (Secret)] [Parallel Projection (Secret)] [Laplace's Demon (Secret)] [Omniscient God (Secret)], please review in detail what skill you need."
The System directly listed several skills that seemed powerful.
And it was the first time Ren saw a new skill level: Secret.
But...
"Hey, hey, hey! I just want to color manga. System, you won't give me these skills, will you?"
Ren's eyelids twitched upon seeing the detailed functions of these skills.
[Prophet's Dream (Master)], 3 million points, the skill is to find the best way to solve the current problem in a dream every two days.
But dreams are often incomplete, and you might not be able to remember everything that happened in the dream upon waking up.
However, this skill allows you to remember at least 30% of the dream.
[Eighth Sense · Alaya Consciousness (Secret)], 88.88 million points, allows one to break free from the self controlled by subconsciousness and instinct, and see through everything in the world.
[World Electronic Library (Secret)], 90 million points, in the library composed of all the knowledge of this world, you can find the answers you are looking for at any time.
[Parallel Projection (Secret)], 3... 100 million points!
This skill allows you to obtain all the knowledge of a parallel world you select, and you can select a parallel world by searching and locating related conditions through the System.
For example, Ren's current requirement is that if "Fire Punch" is a color manga, the System will find the parallel world where "Fire Punch" is a color manga.
But... if this skill really exists, who would choose it?
Couldn't he choose a world where humans have unified the four fundamental forces, invented the warp drive, and mastered the observable universe, and then use these things to benefit humanity?
Although his brain is not entirely normal, he is not stupid.
This kind of BUG-level skill must be used on the sword! [Laplace's Demon (Secret)], 5 billion points, embodies the famous beast of physics, Laplace's Demon, you will be able to know the exact position and time of every atom in the universe, and you will be able to calculate the entire process of cosmic events, past and future.
[Omniscient God (Secret)], 99.9 billion points, you can obtain all knowledge of the past, present, and future of 999 universes, and embody the true omniscient god!
These skills are more outrageous than the others...
Of course, the points are also more expensive than the others.
The cheapest [Prophet's Dream (Master)] costs 3 million points.
Ren looked at his 80,000 points and was speechless.
"I don't want this... I just want a skill that helps me color "Fire Punch" and save me time...", he said weakly. "And your skills are so expensive, do you think I can afford them now?"
"Then I suggest the host choose [Spiritual Flash (Platinum)], which allows you to find the most suitable color when creating."
The System replied at that moment.
"System!"
Ren's eyes widened. "Seriously? You can't say this is the most suitable? Why do you list the following skills?"
"This is the host's request, the system simply functions according to your commands."
The System continued to reply like a mentally challenged person.
"Okay, okay."
Ren was so angry he laughed: "Then, exchange this [Spiritual Flash (Platinum)] for me."
"Cannot be redeemed," the System replied.
"Huh? Why? Don't I have enough points?"
Ren's eyes widened. A platinum-level skill, could he not redeem it for 80,000 points? "The System's mall has not yet updated the [Spiritual Flash (Platinum)] skill. Please wait patiently for it to be updated or use other System functions such as lottery, fusion, and upgrade."
"Okay, okay! Are you kidding me?"
Ren was stunned. He was sure that the System was, indeed, an artificial personnel creation system like GPT.
It replied one sentence at a time, and it didn't care about his life or death at all.
"Forget it, do a draw for me. System, you have to compensate me this time. Remember, give me a [Spiritual Flash (Platinum)]!"
Ren became disheartened and didn't plan to continue fighting this personnel creation system.
He decided to directly start the lottery, and after the thirteenth draw, he finally obtained [Spiritual Flash (Platinum)].
There was another skill he wanted, which appeared in the System's mall, and he spent 30,000 points to get it.
He spent about 36,000 points in total, which was not a problem for him, who now had 80,000.
"Perfect!" Ren nodded with satisfaction.
But at that moment, the doorbell rang.
"Ren...", it was Sakura's voice.
"Sakura has class today? Why are you here suddenly?" Ren blinked, a little confused.
Still, he stood up and went to open the door with Pochita. "I'll be right there!"
