Chapter 216 - New Work

"Wow… wow…"

In the evening, Ren's villa once again echoed with a symphony of sounds, accompanied by the cooing of a baby being soothed. Gradually, the symphony faded away.

Why do we say "again"? Let's just say, it's a sad story.

Although the symphony had faded, Jada and Ren were now leaning against the bed.

"Sigh..."

After a long time, they both sighed in unison.

Jada then said, "Ren, your mom is amazing..."

"I think so too," Ren nodded in agreement.

Recently, to help Jada get some sleep, Ren's mom had been taking the baby to her room at night.

But today, Ren's mom went back to her hometown to get some free-range chickens to make chicken soup for Jada, so the baby was back in Ren and Jada's care.

They had to get up five or six times that night, which was exhausting for them.

As for Ren's mom? She had been taking care of the baby every night without a hitch.

No wonder they thought she was amazing.

"By the way, Jada, how did you take care of Yueyue before?" Ren was puzzled. After all, this wasn't Jada's first time taking care of a baby. She should be more accustomed to it than he was.

"Yueyue wasn't that fussy back then," Jada reminisced. "Judging from this, I bet our little Ruirui will be quite a handful when he grows up."

"…Raise boys tough, raise girls rich," Ren sighed. "In the future, we'll control his pocket money tightly. Let's see how he acts up! The naughtier he is, the less pocket money he'll get!"

"Alright, sure. Ha~~ yawn~~" Jada yawned. "Let's sleep while the baby is asleep."

"Okay."

As they finished talking, the bedside lamp was turned off, and the room was once again enveloped in darkness.

However, Ren couldn't sleep.

After some thought, he opened the system.

It was the beginning of the month, time to see what new items the system had refreshed.

Currently, the works Ren was updating included "Naruto," "Sword Art Online," and Claire's "Your Lie in April."

He decided to see if there were any good new works.

One work made Ren's eyes widen. It was ONE PUNCH MAN, also known as One Punch Man.

This work tells the story of Saitama, who, unable to find a job, encounters a mutated crab threatening a boy's life. Inspired by his childhood dream of becoming a hero, he fights the crab and saves the boy.

After rekindling his hero aspirations, Saitama trains rigorously and gains immense strength but loses his hair in the process. He and his disciple Genos join the Hero Association, starting a life of battling various monsters alongside many other heroes.

It's an extremely exciting action manga.

However, it's also an unconventional action manga.

The protagonists of conventional action mangas typically go through a process of defeating monsters and ultimately the main villain.

This is true not only in manga but also in many fantasy web novels, TV shows, and movies.

But this work is different. Instead of the typical power-up progression, it showcases how 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day created the ultimate power in the story!

Moreover, at first glance, readers might think this is an action series like "Dragon Ball," but they soon realize they've been fooled by its numerous parodies and contrasts, making it feel more like a comedy.

Unfortunately, some of the jokes in this work can't be replicated in this world.

For example, the transformation of the Sexy Prisoner mimics the transformation of Sailor Moon; the Vaccine Man resembles Piccolo; Saitama looks very similar to Ikkaku Madarame from "Bleach"...

But sadly, aside from "Bleach," there's not much else in this world that's similar to the original works.

However, that doesn't mean there are no references.

The transformation of the Sexy Prisoner can be changed to mimic that of "Madoka Magica"; the Vaccine Man can look like a virus from "Cells at Work!"

A great start, which made Ren very happy.

So, he eagerly looked at the next work.

"Bah!" When he saw this work, Ren subconsciously spat.

This noise made Jada look at Ren, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing," Ren whispered.

"Go to sleep early."

"Okay."

The room fell silent again, and Ren looked at the second work.

This work is "My Hero Academia." The reason for Ren's disgust is the author's disgraceful behavior, joking about war victims.

This author named a villain who performed human experiments "Maruta," which was the code name used by the infamous Unit 731 for human test subjects during World War II.

The term "Maruta" has no ambiguous meaning, showing the author's malicious intent in using it despite knowing its significance!

Without a second thought, Ren decided not to redeem this work, no matter how cheap it was, and moved on to the third work. His expression finally brightened.

"Reborn!"

The story revolves around Tsunayoshi Sawada, the tenth-generation boss of the Vongola Family, an Italian mafia organization, and his family's growth.

The series became popular with its stylish character designs, cool equipment, and cute characters!

The encompassing sky, the solitary cloud, the illusionary mist, the fierce sun, the electric thunder, the two-handed storm, and the calming rain!

Besides the thrilling action, the everyday life scenes in this series made Ren laugh hysterically with each episode!

In his previous life, there were three major manga series: "Naruto," "One Piece," and "Bleach."

But at one time, the community jokingly referred to them as "One Bleach Piece."

The "One" was "Hunter x Hunter," and the "Piece" was "Reborn."

However, Ren didn't plan to complete the entire series. He felt the Future Arc was the peak of the series.

From the start of the Future Arc to the Choice Battle, the continuous suspense and plot twists were stunning.

Even though the glimpses of the protagonists' future selves were brief, they left a strong impression on readers.

Perfect!

Ren was secretly delighted.

Just then, a sudden cry shattered Ren's excitement.

He felt a kick on his calf from Jada, who covered her head with the quilt, turning her back to Ren, "This cry means a diaper change. Your turn."
