A crossover anime! The life of a hero!

"You're welcome... Oh, by the way! If you're looking for a meal, I recommend Fox's Oden and Yukihira's stall. The food there is top-notch!"

Seemingly recalling the taste of those two vendors, the monster couldn't help but drool unconsciously, indicating that it really enjoyed the food there.

"Yukihira's stall? Is this the Yukihira I'm thinking of...?"

Upon receiving this news, Hoshino Gogawa couldn't help but think of the protagonist of the anime Food Wars!

Judging from his previous visit to Totsuki Academy to secretly learn Erina Nakiri's cooking skills, Soma Yukihira shouldn't be too old now. In other words, the only person who could open a shop here is Joichiro Yukihira, who is known as a wandering chef. So it's highly likely that Yukihira's stall is opened by Joichiro Yukihira.

He had no idea why the other party was here at this time.

"That place looks interesting, do you want to go check it out?"

Izayoi Sakamaki, who had been observing the surroundings, suddenly turned her head to signal them to look over.

"Um……"

Upon hearing what the other party said, the other three instinctively looked in the direction indicated by Izayoi Sakamaki.

result……

"What...are they doing?"

When Hoshino Gokawa saw a group of non-humans and humans mingling together in the distance, doing something he couldn't understand, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart, making him want to investigate.

In Eastern parlance, it means that onlookers have spotted something that might be a good show, so they decide to go and watch.

"Hmm...it seems like they're playing...a game?"

Kusuo Saiki noticed that one of the people inside was holding something that looked like a card, and for a moment he was a little unsure whether they were playing a game.

"Let's go take a look."

After saying that, the four of them went over to that side and then they saw what the humans and non-humans around them were doing.

"I summon the Headless Horseman, who costs four mana crystals! His effect is to destroy one of your minions!"

After saying that, the one-eyed bull demon with only one horn on the right threw out a card from his hand, which was very much in line with the common perception of a headless knight, and placed it on the table.

Of course, that's not the point! The point is that the moment he finished speaking, four of the ten virtual crystals floating next to him shattered, and even more miraculously, at the same time, a headless knight riding a horse stood up after a wisp of black smoke flowed out of the card that was thrown out.

"Is this... another version of Hearthstone?"

The familiar fees, the familiar card back, and the familiar health points reminded Hoshino Gogawa of a very fun game from his past life. He just wondered if that Gouf had been nerfed after he died.

Chapter 195 The Father of Hearthstone

"Um... Brother Demon, could you tell me what they're playing, and who came up with it?"

At this moment, Hoshino Gokawa was very curious about who designed these cards and that table. After all, this kind of three-dimensional card game is not something that can be done just by thinking about it. One must have solid skills and understand demonic power and spiritual power. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to create such a magical version of Hearthstone.

"This? It's called Fantasy World, created by a human named Ben Rhodes. Look! It's that guy over there!"

The monster, not caring who it was, told the person who approached it about the game and its creator.

After all, as the saying goes, no one dares to cause trouble here under the guise of Hoshino Gokawa.

"Really...that's pretty impressive."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Gokawa subconsciously looked up at the slightly chubby young man across from him, who was wearing glasses.

“I heard from other monsters that he was personally sent in by that person half a year ago, and it wasn’t just him! I heard that besides him, there were many humans and some monsters from other places who came in at the time.”

"I see... Thank you, Brother Yao, for telling us so much."

"You're welcome. Besides, even if you didn't ask me, any of the guys here would be happy to answer your questions."

I don't know why this monster felt a strong sense of pride when talking about this place, as if it were his own home.

During the short time they spent chatting, the card game in front of them was also nearing its end.

The young man opposite him, named Ben Rod, threw out a minion card from his hand. The card was called "Radiant Light" and had a combined attack and health of ten.

Of course, that's not the most important thing! The most important thing is that the image of this card is somewhat similar to Izayoi Sakamaki, with golden hair, but the clothes are changed to a white ancient Greek style dress to fit the background story.

As for the effect, it doubles your attack power when you attack, meaning that you will lose 20 HP with each hit. Considering that the game is just starting out, this damage is quite formidable.

In contrast, characters like Hoshino Gogawa and Saiki Kusuo clearly show that the creators added their own personal touches, and these personal touches are perfectly acceptable if you put yourself in their shoes.

When all hope seemed lost, he was suddenly rescued from the abyss by a divine intervention. How could he not feel a mix of gratitude and self-interest? After all, this was a life-saving favor!

In ancient Eastern times, people would repay such kindness by serving others like cattle or horses, and would even risk their lives for it!

The principle is similar in modern terms, only the repayment method might be different.

"Wow, that's amazing! You actually have fans now!"

Hoshino Gokawa could only assume that his actions were spontaneous, driven by fans.

"Ah……"

Izayoi Sakamaki, who had been nudged in the chest by Hoshino Gokawa's elbow, did not intend to comment on it, but his slightly upturned lips clearly showed that he was secretly pleased.

The next moment, Ben Rod defeated the monster opposite him. That blow dealt a full twenty points of damage. If the special effects weren't fake, Hoshino Gokawa would have really wondered if the monster would have been killed by that punching bag-like fist.

"Hmm... everything's fine now."

After collecting the cards one by one and storing them in the card box, Ben Rhodes checked the table he had meticulously designed one last time. After confirming that there were no problems with the components and the flow of spiritual energy, he turned around, raised his arms to the sky, and addressed the others.

"Friends! I hereby declare! The fantasy world is now completely complete!"

"Okay!"

At his rallying cry, most of the people present, both human and non-human, began to cheer, as if they too had contributed to the event.

This scenario is truly incredible in a sense, where humans and non-humans can coexist and empathize with each other.

Your happiness is my happiness. Your sadness is my sadness.

I don't know about other places, but here all of this is the norm.

After a while, everyone went their separate ways to attend to their own business, while Ben Rhodes began preparing for the sale of the cards and figuring out how to make cards in the future.

As for that machine, he will ask other monsters to make more of it and put it in the shop for everyone to play with.

To be honest, if Hoshino Gogawa's past life knew about his appearance, he would probably say that the tavern owner himself was running a Hearthstone shop.

After he left, Hoshino Gokawa and the other three started discussing it.

"I think that game is really interesting! I want to try it out!"

This is what Izayoi Sakamaki said.

"I want to try it too."

This is Ishi's answer.

"agree."

The concise, clear, and plain words are obviously those of Kusuo Saiki.

"Hmm... what do you guys think about me bringing him into our future company?"

Based on the abilities the other party had demonstrated, Hoshino Gokawa felt that he would be very suitable to work as a game designer for them in the future.

"It's possible, but do you think he'd give up everything he's just started to achieve to join us?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Kusuo Saiki's meaning was quite clear: the other party was unlikely to give up everything they had to join them.

"Hmm, I think... there should be a chance, but we'll have to wait a while. After all, asking him to give up his game now is no less than asking him to kill a newborn baby in its cradle."

So I'll wait until everything is on track for him, then I'll ask him if he'd like to join us.

After saying that, Hoshino Gokawa and the three of them continued their stroll, and in the following time they encountered several very interesting things. It can be said that the cooperation between humans and non-humans reached its peak here.

Have you ever seen a werewolf get its toenail treated? Have you ever seen a monster that looks like an octopus give you a full-body massage? Have you ever seen a burly monster who used to be a civil engineer? Have you ever...?

The non-human creatures here are rapidly adopting human habits, while in some ways, the humans here are also becoming more like monsters, such as their naivety.

Because non-human beings are not as ambiguous as people in society; they are either easy to get along with or difficult to get along with.

Moreover, both the humans and non-humans here have suffered cruel experiments from another group of people. Therefore, compared to their own kind, the people here actually prefer the non-humans here, because they are not pretentious, do not hide anything, and will not betray each other.

Chapter 196 Playing with Life

Shortly after that day, Hoshino Gokawa and the others successfully received news that Saiki Kusuo's older brother had started a company.

"Once we two work hard to get the basic framework out, we can be hands-off managers."

Disguised, Hoshino Gokawa followed Saiki Kusuo into a real estate developer's guesthouse and inquired about locations for starting a company.

As for where they got their driver's licenses after disguising their identities...

That was naturally obtained by Hoshino Gokawa through alien means. One hundred interstellar alliance coins could get you an ID card from any country on Earth, and it was even officially verified.

If you purchase a higher-tier service, they will even help you create a set of authentic and reliable past information. Even if you check their past, there will be no problems. They will confirm that the information actually exists and has been seen by them.

As it happened, Hoshino Gokawa and Saiki Kusuo were about to do something extremely eye-catching, so they bought the highest-end service, with impeccable personalities and appearances, which made Hoshino Gokawa's behavior of throwing around a bunch of flower balls seem perfectly reasonable.

In the alien-created backstory, the two of them are British nobles with a large inheritance from their ancestors. They came out simply to explore the world, and whether they succeed or not is irrelevant.

And that's why, at this moment, Hoshino Gokawa and Saiki Kusuo are seen as golden bachelors and hot commodities by some of the female white-collar workers in the real estate industry, and some even want to add their phone numbers.

However, neither Hoshino Gokawa nor Saiki Kusuo were interested, so they could not refuse directly. Therefore, they could only silently accept it and wait for time to fade their memories.

Then, after they came out, Hoshino Gokawa couldn't help but start teasing him.

"I never thought we'd become nouveau riche one day. I have to say, it feels pretty good."

Hoshino Gokawa, who was experiencing for the first time in his life what it felt like to pave the way with money, didn't dislike the feeling. Of course, it was just an experiment; if he did it too often, he would get tired of it.

"..."

Kusuo Saiki didn't say much about it, because this was the first time he had experienced what it meant to pave the way with money.

"Alright! Next, let's buy the supporting facilities according to the hottest game companies right now... Hey! What do you think about getting a supercomputer?"

"……as long as you are happy."

Shocked by the other person's idea, Kusuo Saiki didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only say this in the end.

"If that's the case, then we'll get one when the time comes."

Although a supercomputer can't compare to his alien phone, so what! He's just here to collect the protection fees the aliens pay him every year. As for whether he'll lose money... who cares!

Are you really going to lose hundreds of billions of dollars for him every year? If that's the case, Hoshino Gokawa would actually be happy, because his compensation money from Planet Kron would finally have a use.

Unfortunately, this idea is simply impossible, after all, what kind of game company can lose hundreds of billions of dollars every year!

As for why Hoshino Gokawa planned to buy the supporting facilities first instead of hiring people.

That's because he needs to demonstrate his substantial capital to attract big names in the gaming industry, as well as several employees; otherwise, who would want to switch jobs to an unknown company?

A few days later, almost everyone in the Japanese gaming industry received an invitation from a new company. They said they were willing to pay three times or even more than their previous employer, as long as they had the ability.

That one sentence alone put the label "I'm rich, come hang out with me" in their eyes. Of course, everyone here is an adult, how could they believe it just because of an invitation? What if they're being played?

Therefore, some people went to observe the situation on-site.

Everyone who came back said that this guy really had a lot of money. Each computer cost millions of dollars, not including other equipment, and the number reached one hundred. He was even willing to add more if there were more people.

This alone puts them far ahead of all other game companies in the world. What's even more outrageous is that they ordered a supercomputer from the United States worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and this has recently been officially confirmed and made the news.

Therefore, the company with the most online clicks during this period is called Game Life.

------------- Divider Line -------------

Wow! This is so lively!

Standing by the window on the last floor of the office building, Hoshino Gokawa glanced at the reporters at the company entrance and couldn't help but marvel at their madness and their desire for big news.

"What did you say?"

Kusuo Saiki, who was working on a computer in his office, retorted without even looking up, seemingly in a very bad mood.

Of course, it's understandable that he's unhappy, since he's been handling all the employee recruitment by himself during this period.

The reason is that among them, only Kusuo Saiki has the ability of telepathy, and with this ability he can filter out those with ulterior motives, so naturally the task of recruiting people has been handed over to Kusuo Saiki.

But that's precisely why he felt frustrated. After all, who has ever seen someone in the first year of junior high school working 24/7 for several days in a row?

What's more, he also needs to create clones to cover for himself and Hoshino Gokawa!

As for why the person in charge didn't use alien technology...
