[ First Big Deal ]
[Condition: Complete your first commercial collaboration (such as advertising, endorsement, or image licensing) and earn over $1 million in revenue]
[Comment: This proved the commercial value of the company's "artists" and brought in the company's first pot of gold.]
[Reward: One chance to draw]
Lynn's composed demeanor softened with anticipation when the system notification sounded.
A million dollars in revenue is just a trivial figure.
But it unlocks the key to even greater benefits.
"Start extraction."
A virtual roulette wheel appeared before my eyes, its light swirling.
The pointer slowed down.
Lynn's breath even paused for a moment when he passed a name that shone with a green light.
Finally, the pointer passed the name and stopped in an area with a primitive and wild atmosphere.
The roulette wheel disappeared.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully drawn Barbara Minerva ( Cheetah )]
A brand new card materialized before Lynn.
On the card, a strange figure, somewhere between a human and a cheetah, lies crouching, poised to pounce.
Its golden fur was covered with black the Spot.
The agile limbs exude an explosive sense of power.
A pair of amber eyes, gleaming with a fierce light, were fixed on the world beyond the cards.
Another troublesome woman.
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
From elegant and cunning cats to wild and bloodthirsty leopards, the system has recently taken a liking to sending him these "gifts" with sharp claws.
However, he enjoys this challenge.
While tamed pets are certainly less troublesome, only the fiercest Beast can tear apart the most stubborn enemies.
"Call."
Instructions issued.
The air in the office suddenly became hot and pungent, as if the scent of Beast from the deepest part of the jungle had appeared out of nowhere.
A figure is rapidly coalescing.
It was an extremely aggressive, territorial, and ferocious entrance!
"Roar--!"
A deep roar echoed through the office.
A yellow and black afterimage, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, rushed straight out of the Shadow!
The target was none other than Lynn, who was sitting in the boss's chair!
Those gleaming claws were aimed at his throat!
This is a fatal strike launched by a top predator after locking onto its prey!
Lynn stood up and shook her head.
He calmly watched the face, which rapidly magnified in his vision, filled with savagery and a bloodlust.
Lynn moved, raising his hand to grab the wrist that the Cheetah was swinging at him.
"Um?!"
The Cheetah's amber pupils suddenly contracted.
Her wrist was gripped tightly, the force of which neutralized the impact she was so proud of.
What horrified her even more was the terrifying aura emanating from this man that sent shivers down her spine!
The Cheetah roared.
Another claw, accompanied by an even more ferocious gust of wind, reached for Lynn's heart.
Lynn's face remained expressionless.
He suddenly tightened his grip on the Cheetah's wrist.
"Click!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.
The Cheetah let out a muffled groan of pain.
Lynn swung his entire body up from mid-air in an extremely brutal manner.
Then he slammed it hard onto that expensive mahogany desk!
"Thump--!"
The solid mahogany desk snapped in half under the terrifying impact.
The documents, pens, and globe on the table collapsed into a pile of messy fragments.
The Cheetah felt as if her internal organs had been misplaced.
She struggled to draw upon the wild power within her that originated from the god of the hunt.
But to his horror, he discovered that the power before this man was as docile as a frightened rabbit.
Lynn looked down at the Cheetah, who was pinned to the pile of redwood and unable to move.
He crouched down, reached out and stroked the Cheetah's face, which possessed both human beauty and Beast features, feeling the furry skin.
"I am your master."
"Your life, your strength, everything you have belongs to me."
"Put your claws away, or I'll help you pluck them out one by one."
That calm tone contained an unyielding will.
The fierce and untamed glint in the Cheetah's eyes faded little by little after they met Lynn's unfathomable black eyes for three seconds.
It turned into fear and submission stemming from biological instinct.
The man before her was a predator far more advanced and terrifying than she was.
The golden fur and the Spot on the Cheetah's body began to fade.
Its sharp claws and beast-like features quickly reverted to human form.
In just a few seconds.
The wild hunter transformed back into a hot, beautiful woman.
Barbara Minerva.
She struggled to sit up from the broken wreckage of the desk.
His body was covered in sawdust, and his posture was disheveled, but his eyes had changed.
The amber eyes that were just moments ago filled with murderous intent now shimmered with a different kind of primal and deliberately ingratiating allure.
She stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips.
She reached out her arm in a languid and seductive manner, trying to hook it around Lynn's neck.
"Owner..."
Her voice was husky and sexy, with a deliberately ingratiating tone.
This is her weapon as a woman.
A weapon that is more effective than mere violence.
Lynn just looked at her coldly.
It's like looking at a tool that's just come out of the factory and still needs to be tested.
He ignored her outstretched arm and pressed the internal communicator next to him.
" Motoko, come in for a moment."
The office door slid open silently.
Motoko Kusanagi walked in.
When she saw the broken desk and the naked stranger, her delicate face showed no emotion.
"Boss."
"Take her to get cleaned, then find her a change of clothes."
"Also, prepare a new desk for me."
"Yes."
Motoko Kusanagi nodded, walked up to Barbara, and gestured for her to proceed.
Barbara's allure turned into helplessness.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the man did not experience even the slightest fluctuation of desire because of her body.
That look in her eyes was more humiliating than being killed outright.
She gritted her teeth.
In the end, she obediently followed Motoko Kusanagi out.
The office returned to quiet.
Lynn sat back down in his boss's chair.
Motoko Kusanagi would explain the rules of survival here to her new "colleague" without missing a single detail.
From the Soldier Boy's arrogance to the Catwoman's cunning, each of them tried to challenge the rules here, only to have their illusions shattered instantly.
Learning from past mistakes can save you a lot of trouble.
He fell into deep thought.
The commercial endorsements of Soldier Boy and Human Torch triggered the achievement of " First Big Deal ".
Therefore, is the system's extraction mechanism linked to the progress of building one's "superhero entertainment empire"?
Every time he uses these superheroes to accomplish a landmark event in the business or cultural sphere, he gets a chance to draw a prize.
If that's the case...
That's when things started to get really interesting.
