There is something wrong with my dating simulator

So the first thing to solve is the funding problem for filming movies or TV series.

The things produced in the early days would definitely lose money, so there must be an industry to provide him with a constant source of financial support.

What Lin Yuanshan is best at is to adapt to local conditions according to the skills he gets randomly.

First use your skills to make a quick buck, then turn into a dual-player warrior, making money while losing money on filming a movie.

This is the skill improvement strategy for this simulation!

When he arrived at the shopping street, he randomly picked a store with a sign saying "Shop for Sale" and walked in.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a serious face. It seems that this store was originally a snack shop and it seemed to have been doing good business before.

After I went in and asked, I found out that the boss's son went to Osaka to work. As a single father, he was a little worried about his son, so he planned to transfer the store and follow him over.

Because it is urgent, the price is relatively favorable.

It only took Lin Yuanshan half a day and all his income from drawing comics (he never stopped working on comics) to buy the store.

He then spent the next night custom-making a sign for himself that read "Da Shocker Funeral Shop".

And the words "large quantity, cheaper price" were posted at the door of the store.

Chapter 206 I, Lin Yuanshan, just want to make money!

However, what Lin Yuanshan never expected was that

His funeral business encountered a shocking crisis from the very beginning.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Shikada Hiroshi here?"

The person who was talking had a black ribbon tied to her purple hair, a white top, a Lolita-style skirt, and a pair of black stockings on her feet.

Judging from his age and the size of a certain mysterious part, this guy should be the oldest among all the simulation subjects.

That's right, the guy who was peeking at the door of the funeral home was the object of this simulation - Hotaru Edaru.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Lin Yuanshan did not answer Zhi Chuiying immediately, probably out of some habit.

"I'm the representative of the Edadare Company, and I'd like to hire Mr. Shikata Hiroshi as our 'product development consultant'."

After Shidairi Hotaru expressed her purpose, Lin Yuanshan wanted to tell her to go to Osaka to find someone,

But he reacted just when he was about to say it.

Product development consultant?

Although the size of the Shidare Company is not as large as the four major chaebols, it is also considered to be a leading snack sales and agency company in Japan.

Many of its products are sold well at home and abroad.

How can the salary be low as a product development consultant in a place like this?

Wouldn't it be faster to make money than working hard to arrange the funeral yourself?

It’s all about making money, no matter where you are!

I have advanced cooking skills, so it won't be so easy to reveal myself.

Even if the truth is revealed, the worst that can happen is that I can come back and open a funeral home.

Acting skills level 1, activated!

Facing Shidairi Hotaru's invitation, Lin Yuanshan first made a complicated expression.

It contains emotions such as regret, sadness, nostalgia, and yearning.

Then he said in a hoarse voice:

"You are late, my father has already..."

"What!? Senior Shikada has already..."

"Well, if you are here to look for your father, please go back. I don't want to recall those sad things anymore."

As Lin Yuanshan said this, he was about to chase everyone out.

This tactic is called playing hard to get!

"Wait! Mr. Shikada, do you know anything about my father's craftsmanship in making sweets?"

As expected, Hotaru Shidare asked this question.

Lin Yuanshan laughed secretly when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Why do you ask this?"

"I haven't asked your name yet. As Mr. Shikada's son, you should have inherited the family craftsmanship, right?"

"My name is Shikada Jiu,"

This name was of course made up by Lin Yuanshan.

Otherwise, numbers would not be used as names.

He first showed a nostalgic look, and then after a pause, he said:

“You could say that I grew up with dagashi.”

However, in fact, Lin Yuanshan does not like the taste of coarse snacks. The traditional coarse snacks in Japan have a rough and simple taste.

Except for a few products that have developed into best-selling puffed foods, most of them are just children's foods within the local scope.

The only advantage is probably the price.

The advantage of a few cents or dollars is exactly what children care about, so there is still room for snack shops to survive.

However, this did not affect Lin Yuanshan's ability to make up stories.

"So, what is the process of making dagashi?"

“I was born to make dagashi!”

Lin Yuanshan interrupted Zhidaili Hotaru's questioning with amazing momentum.

"Well, Mr. Shikada Kyu, please come to the Shidare Snacks Lab and show off your skills!"

Tsk, weren’t you completely fooled?

As expected of a chaebol's daughter, she isn't that easy to fool.

Shidairi Hotaru did not directly throw out the recruitment contract, but asked Lin Yuanshan to "show his skills" first.

But since he was going to commit a scam, how could he not have the real stuff?

So when he was riding the high-speed train with Zhi Chuiying, Lin Yuanshan was calm and composed, looking like a hermit.

The snack laboratory of the Edadare family is the department mainly responsible for product development.

It is filled with all kinds of talents, including top students proficient in chemistry, chefs and nutritionists who specialize in molecular cuisine, as well as grassroots talents like Lin Yuanshan who have been discovered from all over the country.

This so-called "show of strength" can be seen as an entry test for Lin Yuanshan.

The main examiner was Hotaru Edadare.

The lab is well-equipped, with all the necessary chemical instruments, not to mention snacks.

It’s more than enough to make some nitroglycerin.

Entering the laboratory and putting on a bib, Lin Yuanshan's demeanor changed.

He acted like a chef for a state banquet, which made the onlookers, including Hotaru Edadare, look terrified.

"So, the snack I'm going to make this time originated from China, where people call it---Shou Bao!"

"Shou...bao?"

Before everyone could figure out the meaning of the name of this snack, Lin Yuanshan kneaded the dough with great skill.

This skill alone stunned everyone present.

Japan’s pastry skills have not yet reached the level of China’s kitchens, and their dim sum methods are more Western-style.

[Your skill --- Funeral Wedding Level 5 is activated! 兌]

As a traditional Chinese funeral delicacy, the role of longevity buns in funerals is probably to provide for the deceased.

Anyway, Lin Yuanshan had never seen anyone eating at a funeral.

Generally speaking, the birthday buns offered to the deceased do not taste very good and are shaped like peaches.

There is no difference between it and "longevity peach".

It is only used in funerals and is called "longevity bag".

But Lin Yuanshan has a level 5 skill after all, so it is impossible for the birthday buns he makes to be bad.

Moreover, in order to keep up with the times, he also made special improvements to the taste of the longevity buns.

After some work, a batch of deep-fried chocolate-filled sukiyaki buns were ready.

The aroma alone makes one salivate.

Thanks to the longevity package, Lin Yuanshan was signed to a high-paying contract by the laboratory on the spot.

[Simulator prompts that Hotaru Edaru's favorability towards you has increased! ]

What happened to the mock object this time?

Can you increase your own favorability?

Never mind. It doesn't matter anyway.

The first task at present is to replicate the "longevity bun" on the assembly line with the help of experts and turn it into a snack that is popular with the public.

But Lin Yuanshan was only here to cheat for a salary, so he naturally just muddled through as much as he could, and was mostly perfunctory about his daily work.

Instead, I use my free time to read books like crazy about photography, directing, animation storyboards, personnel management, and structure.

However, his skills still developed in an inexplicable direction.

[You have acquired the skill --- Delicatessen making level 1]

[Your skill --- your proficiency in making sweets has increased! ]

Why can your skill level be improved just by hanging out in the lab?

Until Hotaru Edairi came to him again.

"Mr. Shikada Kyu, as a natural confectionery master, are you interested in reviving those lost confectionery?"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that many regional dim sum in Neon are facing the dilemma of being lost, and I want to film them in the form of a documentary.

During this period, we may need a food consultant. Are you interested in this job?"

"How is the salary calculated?"

"It will be slightly more than now because I have to travel frequently."

“You may not know this, but I’m a natural food consultant!”

Chapter 207: Wherever You Go, You Die

Because she was going to shoot a documentary, Hotaru Edadare naturally brought an entire crew with her when she went out.

However, the staff is relatively small. The photographer also serves as the executive director, Lin Yuanshan is a consultant and makeup artist, the driver also serves as a bodyguard and does odd jobs, and together with the producer Hotaru Edadali, there are four people in total.

Since Lin Yuanshan could work as a makeup artist, he naturally received two salaries.

Although the makeup he put on looked good, for some reason, Hotaru Edaripada always felt it was a little eerie and lifeless.

Along the way, Lin Yuanshan took every opportunity to ask the photographer for advice, but found that the guy was a complete taciturn person.

It seems that the only way to learn from him is to learn from him when he is working.
