"You're welcome, it's just a small favor. Where do you live?"

"Yukika-cho..." Yukiko quickly said the address, then asked in confusion, "Huh...? Isn't Sister Sharon a big star in the United States? Why do you seem so familiar with Tokyo? And, your Japanese is so fluent."

“Actually, I lived in Tokyo for a long time when I was a kid.”

"So that's the case, so it's not surprising."

"Does Yukiko also want to be an actor?"

"I haven't decided yet, but I really like acting. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to try it."

"Yukiko will definitely succeed." Bai Mu said with a smile, "Then maybe you will have a chance to compete on the same stage."

Too bad, I can't watch it live.

After returning home from this trip 22 years ago, I had to search online to see if there were any film or TV series in which the two of them had collaborated.

Vermouth's mind moved slightly:

This wasn't encouragement, but rather a tone that seemed to be able to see through the future and determine that Yukiko would succeed.

It seems that I must investigate them after I go back.

Chapter 13 This is the biggest crisis in our family

"Why are you all coming back later than the other? The bath water has already gone cold. I've refilled the water. Go take a shower quickly."

In the evening, when the two returned home, it was already 10:20.

Yukiko, who had never come home so late, thought she would be criticized, but surprisingly, although her mother looked serious, she said nothing.

Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"In that case, Yukiko, go wash first."

Noticing that Fujimine Masahiro was looking at him on the sofa, Bai Mu understood and walked over quickly.

"Uncle, let's go to the study and talk."

"it is good."

Masahiro Fujimine immediately stood up and picked up the briefcase next to him.

After entering the study, he locked the door and quickly took out two thick magazines from his bag.

"I borrowed money from everywhere yesterday afternoon and found a magazine company I liked. After paying a 50% premium, I signed the contract this morning. After that, I immediately asked them to produce two magazines as quickly as possible."

"A book focusing on literature, it contains parts of novellas like 'White Night Walk,' 'The Devotion of Suspect X,' 'Love Letter,' and some short stories. After it goes on sale tomorrow, it will definitely help stabilize the magazine's morale."

"Another flagship manga, with one or two chapters of Naruto, Fairy Tail, One Punch Man, and more."

"However, our magazine used to focus mainly on short stories, and no one had much confidence in comics."

You’re really quick.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no need to rush for manuscripts or proofread, all the works are ready-made, you just need to copy and paste them together and print them directly, which actually does not take much time.

Thinking of this, Bai Mu nodded slightly:

"Comics are fine. These are the pillars of future Jump titles, and their sales are on par with Dragon Ball. If we focus on one magazine, it will definitely be a hit."

"Once the magazine becomes well-known in the future, we can directly sell the entire novel. As for light novels, we can also adopt the magazine serialization format. Of course, directly selling the entire book is also fine. After all, these are excellent works that have been tested by the market."

"After the first issue is published, if the market response is good, we can use the magazine's equity as collateral to obtain a loan and expand into other industries."

"In the film, animation and other related industries, even if you don't run the business yourself, you can still find someone to cooperate with. The important thing is to set up the business first."

"Healthcare, gaming, internet communications, online payments, mobile phones, computers, and so on, all-round development is the way to go."

"Well... considering the time constraints, today I will first explain the future development of medical care."

"Many medical problems will no longer be a problem in the future. I've searched for information on this topic before. Uncle, please write down the developer's name, time, and location in a way that only you can understand."

"No problem." Fujimine Masahiro immediately picked up his notebook and sat up straight.

This is very valuable information. Even if we cannot recruit the researchers, we can still cooperate with them.

Of course, the best way is to set up a research institute dedicated to the development of new drugs.

The two people's "life conversation" lasted for an hour before they stopped, feeling unsatisfied.

By the time Baimu finished showering and turned off the lights, it was almost 12 o'clock.

Lying quietly in bed, thinking about what I did today, and starting to think about what to do tomorrow.

While he was pondering, Bai Lan suddenly flew over, lying in mid-air, and said with a smile:

"Don't sleep yet. There's something I haven't had the chance to tell you today."

"What?" Bai Mu looked surprised.

"There are nine reincarnations this time, not counting you. Two of them are already dead."

“Huh…? When did it happen?”

"One died this morning, and the other died at noon. Should the footage be made public to all reincarnators?"

Hearing this, Bai Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If it is made public, it can help everyone increase their awareness of the crisis and avoid risks.

Keeping it secret is the safest approach.

"Let's make it public. From now on, whether it's our team or any other team, after entering the game world, as long as someone dies, the death scene will be displayed to the other reincarnations at 12:00 PM that night."

"No problem, now... um... there are still five minutes to twelve, so let's wait."

……

On the other side, the Tokiwa family.

"...Father, that's about it."

After listening to his son's report on the investigation results, Tokiwa Soemon fell into deep thought.

22 years later, he was old and suffered from intermittent Alzheimer's disease, but when he was lucid, he had some understanding of the difficulties of the Tokiwa Group.

It is rare to go back to the past and know the future political situation, so what we need to do is to invest in advance.

As for developing new products and investing in hot industries, he thinks they are just small things.

As long as they can stand with the right people, the Tokiwa family will be able to rise with the tide and take control of the future trend.

"In that case, what you will do next..."

Before Tokiwa Soemon could speak, a cold electronic voice suddenly rang in his ears:

[The death of two reincarnations has been detected. The footage before their death is now being released.]

The next moment, a picture appeared before my eyes.

A young man with an exaggerated hairstyle and orange hair, who looked bad, lurked in an alley for a while, then saw an opportunity and dragged a passing junior high school student into the alley.

He put his hand into the other person's clothes, lied that he had a knife, and asked the other person to hand over the money.

Then, the two sides started to fight and the police arrived quickly.

The bad youth ran away immediately, but accidentally bumped into a truck while escaping. He fell in front of the tire and was crushed into a bloody and unknown object.

This horrifying scene made Tokiwa Soemon feel uncomfortable and his brows unconsciously frowned.

Then, the screen flashed and another man appeared.

He had short hair and looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was only wearing a vest, and his muscular body underneath was covered with scars.

In front of him, a high school student who looked almost exactly like him, only younger, was holding a cup of coffee and looking at him with a slightly flattering look.

"Brother, please have some coffee. Can you tell me about the future? So that I can avoid any disasters."

"Of course, this is why I came to see you."

The man picked up the coffee, took a sip, and when he felt the temperature was just right, he drank it all in one gulp.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up, holding his neck, and looked at himself, a high school student, in astonishment.

"you you!"

The male high school student knocked the man's right hand away with an indifferent look on his face, showing disdain:

"What are you talking about my future self? Do you think I haven't seen the universe's wanted poster? I can become stronger by killing my other self."

"By the way, how did you get here? Where's the golden finger? Never mind. Anyway, all your abilities belong to me."

As the man died, the picture disappeared.

Tokiwa Soemon remained silent for a long time before coming to his senses and analyzing the situation in his mind:

Will everyone be informed at night whenever someone dies?

The Lord God did this to remind everyone, right?

The veteran said nothing, but judging from Gantz and similar works, this first game should just be to familiarize everyone with the mission and there shouldn't be any danger.

The deaths of these two people were so stupid that there is nothing to say.

However, we are not of this world.

Perhaps, this is the Lord God's subtle reminder to us not to do unnecessary things.

No, that's too negative.

No, there is too little information. No matter how I analyze it, there seems to be something wrong.

But the death of two reincarnations on the first day was enough to show that this mission was not as simple as it seemed.

Perhaps something might happen at Teitan High School.

"What's the situation with Mio now?"

"Father, I heard from Mio that she and Fujimine Yukiko have become acquainted with each other and have also joined her drama club."

"Very good, tell her to keep working hard and help Fujimine Yukiko win the championship no matter what."

As he spoke, Tokiwa Soemon frowned unconsciously.

Previously, he actually did not attach importance to the main task, thinking it was just a small matter, and once regarded this incident as an opportunity to take the Changpan Group to a higher level.

But looking back now, I always feel that this is not very safe.

"Twenty-two years later, my son and daughter-in-law have passed away, and I've developed Alzheimer's. Mio is left alone to run the Tokiwa Group."

"If I don't complete the main quest, the Lord God won't summon Mio to continue the quest, right?"

"If something happens to her, the Tokiwa Group will be finished."

Thinking of this, Tokiwa Soemon suddenly realized a problem.

"Speaking of which, our Tokiwa Group has a small population. Miomi is already 36 years old, but she is still single and has no scandals. This is the issue that our Tokiwa family should pay most attention to."

"It feels strange to keep going like this... Even if the Tokiwa Group thrives, it's meaningless if there's no one to take over."

Coming back to his senses, Tokiwa Soemon sighed softly, deliberately put on a stern face, and stared at his son intently:

"Do you know what the biggest crisis facing our Viridian Group is?"

"Ah...? Please explain this to me, father."

"You only have one daughter, Mio. And Mio will still be single and childless 22 years from now. If something happens to her, will the Tokiwa family still have a future?"

"?? 22 years later? 36 years old? I see. I'll set up a blind date for Mio right away."

"No, maybe that's why she's still single. Go tell her to find a partner on her own and that she must find one before she graduates from high school."

"Yes, father."

Chapter 14 Only fools without brains trust others unconditionally

Early in the morning, Mio Tokiwa staggered into the classroom, sat in her seat without saying a word, and stared blankly at the sky.

At this moment, she was filled with despair, frustration and confusion.

What's wrong with this world? It's so hard to live.

Not only was she asked to help a strange high school girl win a beauty pageant for no apparent reason, but she was also told to find a boyfriend before she graduated from high school.
