Marvel: The games I made have invaded reality.

Chapter 20; R Star Subsystem, Banquet

As the images were compared, many people's attention was drawn to the game released by Rockstar Games.

Originally a game that was only popular in the gaming community, it quickly spread to surrounding areas and went beyond its original niche after being amplified online.

The game "Give Me Love" has also come into the view of many people.

Because of the Lizardmen's silence, reporters who couldn't find any juicy stories turned to the game like sharks smelling blood.

[Give him love, a crime simulator!]

[Racing games become reality – a testament to technological advancement!]

[A game that exposes the shady practices of the United States, a real-life game that has truly come to life.]

[Atop Brooklyn, against a backdrop of a full moon, a clash of cars and planes, of crime and justice.]

Who is justice? Who is evil? Why has the law become a glove for evil? Irony.

…………

Nine out of ten trending topics are about the game "Give Me Love" and Frank.

…………

As Apple City generated enthusiastic discussion and attention regarding the game "Give Me Love," and as its influence spread, areas such as Los Santos and Florida also began to be affected.

Merlin's reputation soared, and the system was forced to update.

[Reputation value has reached 5 million, offline mode is now available.]

[Liberty City server detected. Rockstar subsystem activated. Host, please recruit players as soon as possible to build the Liberty City gaming platform.]

[Rewards distributed...]

[Congratulations, host, for acquiring the Tyrant MK2 technology, the Skybreaker fighter technology, the Sparrow helicopter technology, the Orca nuclear submarine technology, the Starburst fighter technology, the Avenger Fortress fighter technology...]

Intelligence +1

…………

Life is like a play, a game within a game.

When you treat the world as a game, you become a player in that game.

[Like an abyss!]

But not just anyone can design this game.

Of course, I'd much rather you just ignore what I said.

…………

Merlin: "…………"

With this update, the flavor returns instantly.

Heavenly Fiend, Tyrant, Orca...

This update also distributed ten rewards at once, and each one touched his heart.

Unfortunately, there was no Tulardo or the space-based cannon he longed for.

As for intelligence, a small beginner reward was given when the system was bound, and now a little more has been added. Techniques that were somewhat difficult to master before have become much clearer now.

…………

After accepting the reward technology, Merlin focused his attention on the new subsystems added after the system update.

R-Star Subsystem is an artificial intelligence system primarily based on real offline individuals.

This subsystem is the most important part of this system update and forms the foundation for building offline gaming platforms.

After Frank wiped out three gangs in Hell's Kitchen yesterday, Merlin took over their assets, including funds, real estate, and businesses.

Selling herbs, smuggling...

Nightclubs, villas, apartments...

With the large amount of capital I've saved, and with the subsystems, setting up the initial production and platform shouldn't be a problem.

As the number of players increases and the number of tasks they complete increases, his assets will inevitably grow as well. Then, players can buy assets from him, thus creating a perfect cycle.

As for the managers, Merlin temporarily recruited some internal staff online to serve as NPCs, and transferred the ownership and lease rights to himself.

If they stay put, other players will naturally take care of them, which adds more fun to the quest.

With the Rockstar subsystem, I don't need to worry too much about production. The vehicles and weapons that I sell can be completely replaced by automated production lines.

He originally planned to wait until Iron Man Stark underwent his transformation before trying to get close to him and learn about artificial intelligence.

…………

As evening approached, some local residents came to buy vehicles and weapons, but nothing else particularly noteworthy happened.

"Look and see her eyes, they glow..."

While Merlin was studying the subsystem, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The song is Midnight City, which he often plays while driving.

He took out his phone, looked at the incoming call display, raised an eyebrow, and sat up straighter.

"Hey! Uncle George."

"Merlin, do you have time now? Come back as soon as possible, we've been invited to a banquet," George said, looking at the invitation the mayor had sent him.

"A banquet? Why would you invite me?" Merlin was taken aback.

"It's because of your electromagnetic pulse transmitter; many technology companies will be attending."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Merlin's eyes.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Merlin checked the time.

"That guy hasn't arrived yet, I wonder what he's busy with..." he muttered to himself, then closed the modification shop and rode his bike home.

He was waiting for Daredevil Matt, whom he had arranged to meet last week, but Matt was probably busy fighting crime and hadn't arrived yet.

However, something came up, and he had to leave.

…………

Manhattan, Stark's private villa.

Tony Stark sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching a video playing in front of him showing the events that had occurred in Brooklyn the previous night.

Because of this incident, the hot girl he was supposed to bring back also ran away.

He had initially thought that the sports car speeding against gravity on the glass wall of the commercial building last night was a magic show, because it was something that could be done if carefully planned.

Even when the helicopter exploded and the car flew away in full view of everyone, he still believed it was a magic trick, a grand magic show.

This country has never lacked crazy and smart people.

But after he returned and carefully examined the footage, his expression grew increasingly serious.

Even after his repeated observations, he still couldn't find any flaws.

Then there's only one possibility: that flying car is real!

The report the following day confirmed his suspicions.

"But how did he do it? Did he use a rocket engine?" The only thing he could think of for the time being was a rocket engine.

"Ring ring..." Just then, his phone vibrated.

"Hi! I'm busy right now, you can have Pepper handle it for me."

The caller was his uncle, Obadiah.

"No, I'm here to invite you to a party. You know about the Midtown High School Science and Technology Show? A high school student there has developed an electromagnetic pulse transmitter and atomic energy technology."

"He's a genius, or to put it another way, a genius even more talented than you."

Tony rolled his eyes and was about to refuse, but when he looked at the app he had just downloaded, he seemed to have an idea.

"OK, I'll go."
