Quickly, call the anti-terror squad!" "Run! He's the Comic Madman!" "Amazing! I'm starting to understand everything!" "No way, who let him make comics?" "Quick, use the Flame Fist on him!"

I've made it!" … With works like *Edgerunners*, *Chainsaw Man*, *Fire Punch*, *Attack on Titan*, *Dao's Strange Immortal*, Lin Qingshan went completely off the deep end, and all the manga fans unanimously agreed: Lin Qingshan is a madman! ----------- You can support me financially through this link ko-fi.com/sauron_ch

Chapter 33: Bumper Harvest

### Chapter 33: Bumper Harvest

At this time, the Business Department of Comic World also received a cooperation proposal.

*Ding-ling-ling—*

The phone suddenly rang in front of Yang Dahai, the Chief Editor of the Comic World magazine.

"Hello."

Yang Dahai answered the phone, saying, "Is there something from your Business Department?"

"Oh, Lao Yang, it's like this. A game company has sent a cooperation invitation to buy the game rights for one of our works."

The person in charge of the Business Department said.

He was evidently well-acquainted with Yang Dahai.

"Which work? Just follow the process. I'll arrange a meeting with the manga artist to discuss the details with them."

Yang Dahai said.

As a leading company in the manga industry, Comic World had very standardized and professional procedures.

When manga artists signed contracts with Comic World, the contracts specified that "the copyright belongs to the author, but the operational rights belong to the platform."

In simpler terms, it meant that the rights to sell and distribute were with the platform, even though the copyright nominally belonged to the creator.

However, as a leading company, Comic World also adhered to the manga artist's wishes to some extent.

So, the process would involve a meeting among the manga artist, Comic World, and the copyright purchaser.

"You won't guess which work it is."

The person in charge of the Business Department chuckled and said with a hint of mischief.

"Guess? Then it must not be one of the currently popular works, right?"

Yang Dahai said indifferently, "But it doesn't matter. Just follow the company's procedures. I'm not interested in guessing. Just tell me."

That was his job; he didn't care which work's game rights were acquired as long as the work was done.

"It's a newcomer's work."

The person in charge of the Business Department then got serious, saying, "It's called *Cyberpunk 2077: Edgewalker*."

"*Edgewalker*?"

Hearing the title, Yang Dahai's eyes widened.

"Ha—"

Lin Qingshan yawned, having stayed up all night playing games.

It was an FPS game, and the allure of such shooting games was so unique that he had stayed up all night playing for the past few days.

He wished there were MOBA games too, as playing only shooters could become a bit monotonous.

However, the world still hadn't seen the MOBA games that were popular in his previous life, so Lin Qingshan could only wait patiently.

If the wait turned out to be too long and no such games emerged, he might just spend money to have one made himself.

That way, he could enjoy both fame and gaming profits. Wouldn't that be great?

But Lin Qingshan was just daydreaming; at his core, he was quite lazy.

A simple, easygoing life suited him best.

Fame and attention would be a form of torture for him.

What? You ask if being a manga artist means he's already famous and under the spotlight?

Please, the popularity of manga artists can't compare to that of celebrities or wealthy people. Especially for a small manga artist like Lin Qingshan, he could walk down the street without anyone recognizing him.

He didn't need to worry about that.

"Ha—"

Lin Qingshan felt so exhausted he could almost cry.

He desperately wanted to sleep, and lying in bed after an all-nighter would be the most comfortable thing.

All the dangers of staying up late would disappear with a full sleep.

However…

He couldn't sleep today…

"I still have to go to the gathering with Qianli later, so I can't sleep."

Lin Qingshan patted his face and said, "I need to do something to keep myself awake… What to do…"

"Right!"

He suddenly became excited and slapped his thigh.

Then Lin Qingshan shouted, "System, old Deng!"

Immediately, a high-tech virtual interface, visible only to him, appeared before him.

**[Host: Lin Qingshan]**

**[Abilities: Hard Disk Memory (Diamond), Cinematic Storyboarding (Platinum), Drawing Kaleidoscope (Master), Lucky 100% (Silver), Housekeeping Tiger (Silver), Color Palette (Gold), Game Lord (Platinum)]**

**[Points: 9000]**

**[Current Tasks-**

**Rise to Fame: Create any type of work and receive praise from 100 people. Progress: 100/100 (Completed)**

**Genius Reputation: Create any type of work and receive praise from 500 people. Progress: 500/500 (Completed)**

**First Appearance: Create any type of work and receive praise from 1000 people. Progress: 1000/1000 (Completed)**

**Born Talented: Showcase your talent and change the world! Rewards are given based on the degree of change! (Stage One: Lucky 100% ability granted, Stage Two: Color Palette ability granted, Stage Three: Game Lord ability granted, Stage Four in progress)]**

"Wow!"

Seeing the long-awaited system, Lin Qingshan instantly perked up.

After all… he had almost ten thousand points over the past few months!

Nine thousand points were enough to purchase another platinum-level ability.

And having experienced platinum-level abilities, Lin Qingshan knew just how powerful they were.

Moreover, his "Born Talented" task had been completed up to the second and third stages, granting him two new abilities.

Looking at the newly appeared **[Color Palette (Gold)]** and **[Game Lord (Platinum)]** abilities, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but daydream.

"Color Palette… Could it mean familiarity with various colors? No, a gold-level ability shouldn't be so basic. Could it allow me to mix any color?"

Lin Qingshan shook his head and eagerly checked the details of **[Color Palette (Gold)]**.

"Indeed!"

He smiled with satisfaction. **[Color Palette (Gold)]** allowed him to know how to mix any color in his mind.

As long as he had the basic color pigments, Lin Qingshan could mix any color in the world!

This was a great help!

Although Lin Qingshan already had the Drawing Kaleidoscope ability, his coloring skills had always been lacking.

Others might not know, but as a writer who adapted works, he was well aware that *Edgewalker*'s coloring still had some flaws.

At least in many places, it wasn't as perfect as the animation of *Edgewalker* in his mind.
