This wasn't the game's fault. It was just that Torifu hadn't considered it carefully enough. But it didn't matter. He'd find the problem and solve it. Find the problem... ahem, just solve the problem.
"I have to find a way to let everyone top up at home more conveniently and quickly. This is definitely a pressing need for everyone. I must prioritize optimizing and solving this!"
Amado shrugged. "I'm completely useless when it comes to this. You even made the game yourself, Big Brother. I don't know a thing about it. I can play it, but I really don't know how to deal with anything related to topping up."
Seeing Amado's reaction, Torifu didn't blame him, because it was all true. Torifu himself didn't know these things either. He could only look in the system to see if there were any items that could solve this problem. But the message said to find the game developer to top up? How was Torifu supposed to top up? He had no idea!
"This useless game! It left a huge mess for me to clean up! There's a game, but no way to top up! This is a total scam!"
"If people can't top up, how can they experience the fun of the game?! For everyone to enjoy the game more, I must solve this problem!"
Although he sounded passionate, Torifu had no idea where to even start. For mobile phones to top up directly, they would need mobile payment software. But software alone wouldn't be enough. They would need something like a bank card to store the money and connect it to the mobile phone. This whole chain of things was enough to make Torifu's brain overheat. He also blamed himself for releasing the mobile phone without considering everything. But he had been out of touch with society for so long that he hadn't paid much attention to things he didn't use.
It wasn't too late now. Before anyone came to top up, Torifu had to find a temporary solution! Without saying another word, Torifu had Amado leave and opened the system store. A dazzling array of items came into Torifu's view. But among so many things, there was nothing he could use. They were all some insignificant items. Finally, at the very bottom, he found an item that immediately calmed his heart.
[Naruto Mobile Game Top-Up Device] (An exclusive backup top-up device for developers. How's that? Breaking out in a cold sweat, right?)
[T/N: Truly a shady system lol.]
He didn't have time to think about the snarky comment in the description. Torifu immediately clicked on Redeem. This should have been a bonus item that came with the Naruto game, but he hadn't noticed it at the time. Now, everything was finally perfect.
A full-fledged holographic scan with a futuristic feel appeared in front of Torifu. A bucket-sized, cube-shaped object appeared on Torifu's bed. The top was a screen with a keypad, and the front had a long opening, which was probably where the money was put in. After a quick operation, he found that it was similar to a savings machine in his previous life. He just had to enter the game ID, the amount to top up, and then drop in the coins. With this thing, he could finally relax. At least he wouldn't miss out on the Peace Points being delivered to his doorstep. As for the money, Torifu didn't care too much about it. The money earned from the game would most likely be used for the village's construction, subsidies for the families of ninjas who sacrificed themselves for the public, and the daily expenses of the orphanage. After all, the money he earned from his other products was more than he could ever spend. The main purpose of making this game was to make everyone happy and to earn some Peace Points.
After a while, the puppet had finished cooking. The three of them sat in the gazebo and had dinner. He had to say, the puppet's cooking skills were really good, on par with Torifu's.
"Is the top-up issue resolved?" Amado asked.
Torifu nodded. "Of course. How could there be any problems with your Big Brother on the job?"
Amado rolled his eyes at him. "Fine. Then top up for me later. Those gatekeeper ninjas are too weak. I want to try to draw Uchiha Madara." Torifu naturally agreed to Amado's request. Anyway, Amado was rich. He could top up as much as he wanted. Even if he topped up enough to get all the ninjas, he wouldn't run out of money.
"By the way, Big Brother, when is the Kumotsuru Torifu character going to be released?"
When he heard this, Minato, who was eating, almost choked. Torifu, on the other hand, looked at Amado with a look as if he was looking at an idiot. "Are you serious?"
Amado gave him a definite look. "Of course. As the Third Hokage, you must be very strong. It's not a problem to get one."
"Just wait. It'll be at least two or three months later. You can top up, but we also have to take care of the players who are working hard to save up gold coins. Just be patient." Torifu then said, "Besides, aren't those three ninjas, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and Senju Tobirama, enough for you to draw?"
"Fine, you're right. I'll just practice with Uchiha Madara for now. I'll go to the duel field later."
Speaking of the duel field, a smile appeared on Torifu's face. "Heh, you know, I just ran into a brave soul who started playing on the duel field just half a day after the game was released. I completely annihilated him."
Amado didn't gloat. He just felt pity. He knew what kind of account Torifu had. This duel was probably a mortal bowing down to a god. But what Torifu didn't know was that the person he had just crushed was on his way to his house with a huge sum of money. In a short while, he arrived at the Kumotsuru Clan compound.
"Torifu, Torifu, your Sensei is here! Come and greet me!"
Torifu, who had just finished eating, immediately went to the door. "Sensei, why are you here?"
Hashirama put his hands on his hips, his face beaming. "It's that game you made. I played it for a while and thought it was really interesting, so I wanted to top up some money to draw some powerful ninjas." This was something that Torifu had never expected. How old was Hashirama? Although his physical age was only in his thirties, his mental age was in his sixties or seventies. He actually liked this game so much and wanted to top up? This shocked Torifu a little.
"This... Well, Sensei, please come in first. How much do you plan to top up?"
Hashirama grinned. "I'll top up 100,000 ryō for fun."
For a magnate like Hashirama, 100,000 ryō was nothing. Torifu didn't hesitate and had Hashirama sit down in the gazebo to rest first. He then asked for Hashirama's ID and took the 100,000 ryō into the house to top up for him. Soon, he came out of the house. "Sensei, take a look. Has it been topped up?"
Hashirama waved his hand. "Oh, I don't have my mobile phone with me. Are you going to lie to me? I'll check when I get back."
Torifu nodded. "What ninja do you want to draw?"
Hashirama didn't even have to think. "Of course, Senju Hashirama! How could I not play as myself! Just looking at that character art, I feel so powerful. You really put a lot of effort into this, drawing so many portraits all by yourself."
Torifu felt a little embarrassed by Hashirama's praise. After all, he hadn't done anything. He had just spent 50,000 Peace Points.
