Chapter 128 Uchiha Ryo will never be hung on a street lamp.
Yamada Ryo suddenly walked over and bent down to look at Goto Ichiri, who was being bewitched by the demon.
"Little Loneliness, the melody has been written based on the lyrics you provided."
Kita Ikuyo: "Ryo-senpai has already finished writing the song? That's amazing! Let's listen to it."
Uchiha Ryo got up and left, then looked at the four girls squatting together, listening to music on their phones.
Nijika Ichi: "It sounds great! Now we can prepare to practice and perform on stage again!"
Kita Ikuyo nodded. "I'll do my best! And to meet my performance targets and the album's production... I'll work hard at my part-time jobs too!"
Working part-time... Goto Ichiri trembled with fear.
Uchiha Ryo: "To the members of the Bond Band, instead of working part-time, I think you guys, who are just starting out, should work harder to complete your music, or rather, make money with your music."
Ichiji Nijika stood up and looked at Uchiha Ryo.
"While we'd like to achieve what you're saying, where are we going to make money from our music since we're currently unknown?"
Kita Ikuyo took out her phone. "How about using YouTube online? We can start a band account and release music."
Posting music online? Goto Ichiri thought of her account, "Guitar Hero." Although the name sounded a bit funny, she already had nearly 50,000 subscribers.
However, due to my social anxiety, I didn't dare to accept male clients, so the earnings weren't particularly substantial.
Nijika Ijichi: "Kita-chan's suggestion is good, but it needs to develop slowly, so let's... during summer vacation."
Uchiha Ryo: "I do have a job offer here, and I sincerely invite the Bond Band to join."
(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
Yamada Ryo looked at Uchiha Ryo with curiosity.
"Is this the maid you were just talking about with Little Loneliness? I'm not really interested in maids, but I could try being a butler."
Uchiha Ryo waved his hand. "No, I meant something related to music, specifically that I hope the Bond Band will create some music for my game."
Kita Ikuyo: "Game music? Ryo-kun can even make games?!"
Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "It's not just me, but a project of an entire game club. We hope to create a galgame with a brand new mechanism within a year, so we need a professional band to help with the music production."
Ichiji Nijika frowned slightly. "Um... Ling, if it's just as classmates or friends, it's fine for you to ask us to make one or two songs, but you also said it's for work..."
Uchiha Ryo: "Pricing is negotiable. Depending on the quality of the songs, we plan to include at least thirty tracks."
Goto Ichiri: "Thirty!!"
If I had to write the lyrics for all thirty songs myself... I'd die! Writing thirty songs a year would be exhausting!
Uchiha Ryo: "Little Lonely seems to have misunderstood. The tracks I mentioned include instrumental music, and instrumental music makes up a larger proportion of them, since they are BGM for visual novels, so our demand is also very high."
"Furthermore... as our game is released, the name of the band Bond will also appear in the public eye. If the game happens to become a hit, you will also gain considerable fame."
If they did well, they would gain both fame and fortune; if they didn't do well, they could still make money by writing music. The four girls in the band Link were tempted.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Capitalist Ling began to further entice them.
While the Bond Band is still relatively unknown, we can win them over. It might be a win-win situation if the game is released. Besides, it won't cost much to buy their songs since they're still a small band that hasn't debuted yet.
Using minimal capital to make the biggest profit while still guaranteeing returns, Uchiha Ryo was starting to admire himself. Meanwhile, Yanyun-chan, who had witnessed everything, wanted to hang her scumbag master on a lamppost...
.....
The next morning, since Hana had stayed at Hoshino Hinata's house the night before, Uchiha Ryo got up very early and went straight to Toyonosaki High School.
At noon, in the club activity room, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, Kato Megumi, and the band Bond were playing a beta version of this visual novel.
Ryo Uchiha's idea was to keep the game engine, but have them handle all the character designs, plot development, and events.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ryou-kun, although your idea is excellent, and you've basically found all the necessary equipment and personnel for game production, may I ask a question?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Hmm?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the other six beautiful girls in the classroom.
"Our gaming club is really dominated by women~ Club leader—isn't your first requirement for recruiting members that they must be female?"
Uchiha Ryo's expression remained calm as she quietly picked up her water bottle and took a sip. "Kasumigaoka-senpai, first of all! There's a male club member in charge of logistics at Shuchiin Academy."
"Secondly, it's not that I have to be looking for girls, but rather that the people I find who meet the requirements just happen to be women."
Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at Uchiha Ryo, then returned to her seat.
"President, we're going to make the normal male-oriented visual novel first, and then release the female-oriented one later, right? So how many female characters do you want to romance?"
Uchiha Ryo tapped the table. "Let's start with ten."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Ha!!"
"My goodness! Designing the characters, backstories, and different storylines and dialogues for each of the ten female characters—do you know how difficult that is?!"
Uchiha Ryo pointed at the seven people present.
"Although Kato-san is still the prototype for the original heroine, you can add everyone! Interacting with them will allow you to understand their personalities, and you can then set your strategy based on their personalities. As they say, art imitates life, and I believe in you! Kasumigaoka-senpai!"
Kasumigaoka: "I..."
Uchiha Ryo looked at Eriri.
"Based on the character designs provided by Kasumigaoka-senpai, the illustrator side also needs to be prepared. You just need to handle the character portraits, and leave all the backgrounds to me."
Eriri nodded. "Don't worry about the character portraits, but as for the background... are you sure you can handle it alone?"
It's important to know that for a large-scale visual novel with multiple characters and numerous random events, at least hundreds or thousands of background images are needed. Of course, some games can use duplicate backgrounds to cut corners, but Uchiha Ryo would not allow it.
It's just a few thousand pictures, no big deal, the Shadow Clone Technique will make a move!
Uchiha Ryo: "You two can rest assured. I'll help with the female lead's design, and I'll handle all the graphics and backgrounds. We have professionals for the computer hardware, and as for the music... that's up to you two."
Ijichi Nijika nodded!
"This is a really fun game, we'll keep playing!"
Goto Ichiri: "...I'll do my best."
