"If you do not change the subject at will, the System would like to know whether the User wishes to participate or not." The System asked as it could see that Jin was once again changing the topic, a bad habit that he always used to get away with the things at hand.
"But I am really curious about that Rei thing! If I can help out, maybe my name could also flourish. Teehee~" Jin tried to push for the benefits of being famous to be within the movies when it was so obvious to the System that popularity from the movie was limited mainly due to a few reasons.
Jin is not popular in the first place in the film industry, and he acting within it would probably wish to wear a mask in order to hide his identity as usual despite the fact that he desperately wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid any discussion.
Not only that, no matter how one sees it, watching Gunndam is a niche film, and unless people are truly amazed by not just its graphics but also its story, the sales of the film could only work if it is a resounding success.
However, there were too many hiccups according to the System's records, stating that Rei aside from doing the System's tasks, he had been handling the film rather poorly because he rather did it as an independent studio rather than allowing any major publisher to assist him with it.
After all, he wanted the profits for himself and he believed that the System and Jin wanted the profits to themselves as well.
That was why while the delay is unfavourable, Rei's decision to change into live action is to buy more time for the studio. But each time Rei's decision to make it bigger and better stood out for the public to see, the more they felt like it was going to fail.
Partially due to the ambition that Rei had (not to mention the time he did not have.) The System felt that it might actually be a good thing for Jin to come in and intervene in order to save the film or else it will be spiraling into hell and it becomes an investment that would not be worth saving any longer.
"The System is going to give the User a mandatory quest." Judging from the System's point of view, Jin had been too wishy washy when the stakes were high in this current situation. "Save Engineer Rei's film by enacting it the way you want it to be.
Publish it using Engineer Rei's name and when the film produces enough money, use it to invest in his current studio and the actor & actress that he wished to employ."
"That sounds...fair," Jin said but the System was not done.
"The filmmaking must be done before the Finals of the Martial Artist Competition. You will be inserted as a last minute competitor to fight against the finalist."
"During your disappearance into the Synthesis World, Rei's family members were able to disclose a portion of the Mecha Titan schematics to the System. It further increases the knowledge of the System in the production of Mechas.
"And? You wish to withhold that and you have yet to release that for the minions or the Research Department to study?" Jin asked and the System gave an affirmative response to it.
"Yes, the System withheld the data mainly due to the fact that if the information were to be decimated to the production line, you would have an army of Mechas that is superior to the current Mecha World."
"Isn't that a good thing? But I cannot believe you are withholding such information from me."
"The problem with such mass production is that we need to either destroy hundreds of space colonies to get what we want or the System can open passage to a new world where you might be able to find such materials in abundance."
"Oh... so it's not that you are withholding information for nothing. Its because we do not have the capability to produce it. And the reward that is available to me is actually a brand new world to explore.... Or really be the villain and destroy the Mecha World I mean Mecha universe? I am so confused about the naming convention but you get where I am coming from."
"Yes, we refer to the world as Mecha World but in actuality, their technology is so advanced that they had expanded through multiple galaxies that it is counter institutive to call it the Mecha World when it should have been the Mecha Universe. Yet, the naming conventions to the places we had gone were-"
"Stop right there. I get what you getting. Okay, okay. Let's do it. Let's see how far we can get with the martial competition as well as Rei's film. I do feel a little excited doing the latter though.
Hehe!"
"The System will provide the necessary backup as well push the minions to assist with the film making. Ex Bellator Kiyu will also be informed to assist with the movie making. Do note that it is tedious work and considering how Kiyu needs time to post process it, the System will make the objective easier by narrowing the quest objective.
Finish the filming process before the martial artist competition finals."
"Fine, I take that challenge on, regardless of the reward."
