Tokyo: My obsession with China led me to become the king of Japanese entertainment.

"Three hundred million! Three hundred million! We could never spend it all!"

While the Johnny's executives were arguing endlessly about a certain boy's prank, in Akita Prefecture, north of Akita City, in the Momodo Valley.

One of the instigators was setting up his camping gear while humming a cheerful tune.

Jun Sakurada was not worried about Johnny's causing him trouble. After all, Johnny's couldn't touch his core assets, namely his influence in China and his game sales on Steam.

Sales of "Yokai Survivor" are better than expected.

Jun Sakurada's original plan was to use this time to attract as many game streamers as possible to play the game by widely distributing CD keys, thus replicating the success of his previous game, "Vampire Survivor".

As luck would have it, just as he was actively inviting various livestreamers, Johnny's Entertainment sent them their invitations.

Riding on the wave of popularity generated by this prank, most streamers in China, eager to capitalize on the trend, happily streamed the extremely catchy "Survivor" without even having Sakurada Jun pay any GG advertising fees.

Meanwhile, on similar overseas platforms like RatTV, some well-known streamers have also discovered this seemingly simple but incredibly addictive game and started streaming it.

The overseas market for Yokai Survivors is gradually opening up.

As of now, this ultra-low-priced game, which costs 25 yuan in China, 500 yen in Japan, and $5 in Europe and America, is rapidly approaching the million-yuan mark in total sales.

Sakurada's own income is also rapidly approaching the 300 million yen mark.

According to Jun Sakurada's calculations, the survivors of the monsters in this world are very likely to achieve what even the previous life's "Vampire Survivors" failed to accomplish:

The Steam base game has sold tens of millions of copies.

That means that even if we only consider Sakurada Jun's take-home pay, it would be in the range of one billion yen.

Although it may take several years to receive this money.

With such a large scale, Jun Sakurada was not worried at all that Johnny's Entertainment, a local powerhouse confined to the Japanese entertainment industry, could hinder his grandfather Jun from making money.

After having a nice meal with Vaundy and filming a video appreciating Kun Ge's music together, making the most of Chicken Brother's popularity,

Back in Akita, Jun Sakurada happily took a break and spent the end of February traveling to Momodo Valley in northern Akita Prefecture to relax.

In Japan, the third semester for middle school students usually runs from January to March, with spring break from late March to early April, and the next semester begins in mid-to-late April.

Jun Sakurada is about to enter high school, and he had already passed the entrance exam for Akita's best public high school with high scores in early February. With his school admission problem solved, he has been quite relaxed during this time.

That's when I finally had some free time to go to Tokyo and do things with Johnny's.

"Early spring in February, the scenery is just so beautiful." After setting up his camping gear, Jun Sakurada lazily sprawled on the blanket, listening to the sound of running water as he ate his rice balls.

February is a good time; there's spring sunshine, holidays, and pleasant weather.

The key point is that the famous Japanese celebrity... no, I mean bear, is still hibernating.

The fact that Japan has a lot of bear problems was something that wouldn't have become known to the Chinese until around 2025 in Jun Sakurada's previous life.

In reality, bear sightings in Japan have been a long-standing issue and are nothing new. During the most extreme seasons, such as September and October, there can be tens of thousands of bear sightings and dozens of incidents of people being injured.

Akita is one of the hardest-hit areas by bear infestation.

Places like Taodong Valley, with relatively little human development, are popular with people, especially with celebrities who are known for their ostentatious displays of Japanese culture. If you dare to come here, you'd better be stronger than Bald Qiang in terms of fighting ability.

It's only because bears are still hibernating and not active in February that Jun Sakurada dares to come here to play without worry.

Even so, various bear-proof equipment such as bear spray and bear bells are still essential.

I must say, after such a hectic trip to Tokyo, it was quite enjoyable to return to nature and relax.

If it weren't for those screams.

"Bear!!!!!!!!!"

"Help!!!!!"

A sudden scream shattered Sakurada Jun's precious tranquility, causing his handsome brows to furrow slightly.

The screams came from upstream in the valley, and there were both male and female voices. It sounded like a group of tourists had encountered a bear coming down the mountain.

Sakurada Jun's first reaction to this was, "No, there were bears in February too?"

My second thought was, whose idiot went into the mountains to feed the bears again?

If Jun Sakurada remembers correctly, the yield of beech and other nuts in Akita last year should have been decent, so the bears had plenty of food and the chances of them coming out to roam around in February were quite low.

Those who can emerge at this time are most likely starving bears, genuine Japanese celebrities.

One of the biggest taboos when dealing with bears is shouting or screaming, as this is likely to cause stress to the bear.

That group of men and women is going to get into serious trouble...

After a few seconds of silent contemplation, Jun Sakurada finally stood up slowly, picked up a wooden stick, bear spray, and bear bell from the side, and hurried towards the upper reaches of the valley.

He wasn't some overly kind-hearted philanthropist who couldn't bear to see others suffer, but he didn't mind making others owe him a few lives.

After all, favors can be converted into connections when necessary.

As for the threat from the famous Japanese figure... Sakurada Jun is not entirely human.

Although succubi don't seem to specialize in fighting, they shouldn't be unable to handle even a bear.

……

Upper reaches of the river valley.

At the boundary between the riverbank and the forest, a moon bear stood upright, exhaling heavily from its nostrils, as if it were about to launch a charge at any moment.

On the riverbank about thirty meters away from the bear, six people—three men and three women—huddled together, facing the bear with trepidation.

Despite their large numbers, none of the three men appeared to be over 1.7 meters tall, nor did any of them look well-fitted.

Three girls and three greyhounds really don't pose much of a threat.

Standing at the very front, a small man with messy golden hair, resembling a monkey's head, held a stick and glared fiercely at the bear, seemingly trying to scare it away.

However, any bear that dares to come out in February is either starving or its screams have greatly aroused its ferocity.

So much so that when faced with six people, the bear not only didn't run away, but instead assumed a posture as if it was about to launch an attack.

"Kamiki-san, Taka-san, it, it's not going to rush over, is it?" The youngest-looking girl asked tremblingly, her voice trembling with barely concealed sobs.

"Don't be afraid, there are many of us, the bear won't dare to make a move! Stay calm!" the monkey-headed man urged through gritted teeth, though his own legs were starting to feel weak.

That was a starving bear...

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak of tension, as if the tragedy would erupt at any moment, the slightly mocking voice of some wicked creature suddenly rang out in the valley:

"Two Kamen Riders, one Kurokami, and one Malo, and they've been forced into this state by a bear? It's a bit laughable."
