Yu Muto is unfamiliar with this place and has no common topics with the locals. On the other hand, he doesn't intend to have too much interaction with these passers-by.
After all, making games is a very time-consuming and energy-consuming task, and Muto Yuya doesn't want to waste his precious time on building good relationships with these children.
Of course, this does not mean that Muto Yu does not need friends. The main reason is that everyone knows the situation in Sakura Empire. These student groups, or so-called real-life groups, have invisible hierarchical relationships within them.
People like Muto Yu who are unfamiliar with the place and don't want to spend too much energy and time can only become marginal figures if they join. If they refuse too many invitations to group activities, they may even hold a grudge against them and feel that they don't give them face.
It’s troublesome just thinking about it, so I might as well not get close to them from the beginning.
Muto Yu glanced at Aki Tomoya, who was sitting by the window in the back row. He was eating lunch while reading a light novel.
As for the male protagonist who was criticized in his previous life, Muto Yu had no intention of communicating too much with him, because there is a saying that like repels like.
What we are talking about here is not gender but personality. Akitomo is often self-centered and does not care about the feelings of others.
Although Yu Muto would normally consider other people's feelings, this could not conceal his self-centered personality.
If the two of them get together, they will probably quarrel every day, so Muto Yu chooses to stay away from them like other passers-by in the class.
So, in Kato Megumi's surprised gaze, Muto Yu walked over and gently knocked on her desk to attract her attention.
"Kato-san, can we eat together?"
"Eh?"
"Look, everyone's having lunch together, but you and I are alone. Isn't this a little too special?"
Listening to Muto Yu's serious explanation and facing Kato Megumi's look of "Is that really the case?", he, who was not thin-skinned, felt that the other party had seen through his heart.
"But isn't Aki-san also alone? Why doesn't Muto-san go find him?"
"Aki-san... I can't handle someone like him. No one likes to listen to someone chattering about topics they have no interest in while eating, and then the other person tries to instill his or her own opinions into them, right?"
"I really don't like it."
According to Muto Yu, Kato Megumi briefly imagined such a scene and then nodded in agreement.
Muto Yu took his lunch box and placed it on Kato Megumi's table, then sat down facing each other across the table.
"Kato-san's bento is quite filling and looks very appetizing. Did you make it yourself?"
"Well, I have some experience with cooking."
"Kato-san is too modest. Compared to your lunchbox, my lunchbox is too simple."
As Muto Yu spoke, he opened his lunch box. Inside was ordinary fried rice with egg. In the corner of the lunch box, there were a few small tomatoes standing there alone.
This is his lunch. He is not very good at cooking, but fried rice with egg is just fine. It is simple and quick to prepare.
"Muto-san made this himself too?"
"Well, after all, I'm the only one at home. If I don't cook it myself, I can only buy ready-made food, but then the daily food expenses will be too high."
Chapter 6 The Victims Have Arrived on the Battlefield
"That's it..."
Listening to Muto Yu's words, Kato Megumi nodded, hesitated for a moment, and still did not choose to say the words to let the other party taste her lunch box.
Although the other person was very special and did not subconsciously ignore her existence like other people; although the other person praised her cooking skills, she felt very happy.
But after all, the two of them have just met, and Kato Megumi now has a very high initial liking for Muto Yu. But the more so, the more carefully she has to consider some choices related to the other party.
What if after I share my lunch box with the other person, Muto Yu has the illusion that he likes him? If he confesses to me on impulse, then we won’t even be able to be friends anymore?
Although the possibility is not great, the probability is not zero, which means it is possible that something may happen.
"We need to get to know each other for a while and get to know each other better before deciding how we'll get along in the future."
This is what Kato Megumi thought. She didn't want to be forced to become the other person's girlfriend without knowing anything about him, nor did she want to lose her new friend Muto Yuu because of misunderstanding caused by her actions.
Afterwards, the two chatted about some common topics, such as previous test scores and some current news hot topics.
And Muto Yu has always been careful to act as a qualified listener, which further stimulates the desire of the girl who has always been ignored to talk.
It can be said that although Muto Yu didn't say much at noon, Kato Megumi's impression of him increased a lot again.
But this is also normal. Human beings are creatures that need to talk. Even if they develop a taciturn character due to objective factors, the desire to talk will not really disappear, but will continue to accumulate energy like a spring.
Until one day, either the spring bursts out with terrifying power and blurts out all the words accumulated in the heart in one breath, or... the spring breaks directly.
Of course, Kato Megumi is still far from that extreme situation, and now with mobile phones and the Internet, this situation has been greatly improved.
After all, expressing opinions on the Internet is also a way to vent the desire to talk. Although this can only be regarded as a meal substitute, it also has a relieving effect. This is why Kato Megumi often plays with her mobile phone.
After lunch break, the afternoon was spent cleaning the classroom and moving and distributing books. Then, Muto Yu noticed the incredible presence of the girl sitting next to him.
The person who distributes the books will subconsciously ignore her, and when assigning each student to be responsible for a certain area of cleaning tasks, she will also be forgotten by the life guidance teacher.
I can only say that it is really unbelievable, but this is the two-dimensional world after all, so this kind of thing doesn’t seem to be a big deal.
Although the teacher did not assign any tasks to Kato Megumi, she still took the initiative to walk to Muto Yu's side and help him sweep and mop the floor.
"No wonder you had that expression when I talked to you today."
"Well, I was surprised too. I didn't expect that Muto-san wouldn't ignore my existence like others."
After repeated verification, Kato Megumi confirmed that the problem of her low sense of presence had not disappeared, and Muto Yu was indeed a special existence.
"It's really unbelievable that someone would subconsciously ignore you. Is your family like this too?"
"Well, sometimes they make plans to go on a picnic together, and when they come back from the picnic and see me, they remember they forgot me at home."
Although Kato Megumi's face remained calm, the helplessness and slight resentment in her tone were extremely obvious.
"That's why Kato-san's cooking skills are so good."
"Huh? What does this have to do with cooking?"
Hearing Yu Muto's somewhat erratic topic, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, and then heard the other party's explanation.
"After all, if you don't cook for yourself when you encounter this situation, you will just go hungry. If you cook more, your cooking skills will get better and better, right?"
"That seems to be true."
During the chat with the girl, Muto Yuya realized that working together as a man and a woman would not make the work tiring. The ancients were right.
"See you tomorrow, Kato-kun."
"See you tomorrow."
It was time to go home from school. After saying goodbye to Kato Megumi in the classroom, Muto Yu left the school carrying a backpack full of various textbooks.
After returning home, Muto Yu lay on the bed and glanced at the time on his mobile phone. It was not yet four o'clock, so happy education is indeed very happy.
In my previous life’s high school life… I was lucky enough to be in bed by 11 o’clock.
Of course, there is nothing perfect in the world. The happy education of Sakura Empire does allow students to experience happiness, but it also basically cuts off the possibility for ordinary people to achieve class transition.
Just think about it, with school starting so late and ending so early, and with art, music, home economics, physical education and other non-main classes taking up time, how can the main classes be taught in depth and comprehensively?
If you want to stand out in the college entrance examination, you must sign up for tutoring classes outside of class, and the prices are usually extremely expensive.
However, these have nothing to do with Muto Yu. With the "Game Godfather System", he goes to school not to change his fate, but just to experience the happy education of Sakura Empire.
He took out his cell phone and looked at the chat history between him and Liangfeng Qingye. The chat stopped at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
The content is as follows:
Muto: "Sister Liangfeng, I found a game today, but I died over a hundred times and still couldn't beat a level. Have you ever played a game like this?" (Attached computer screenshot)
Liang Feng: "This kind of game is a very classic game type from the past. I have some knowledge of this kind of game. When I get off work tonight, I will play it through and show you."
Muto: "Really? As expected, Sister Liangfeng is amazing. I'll be waiting to see Sister Liangfeng show off her skills."
Liang Feng: "No problem, just leave it to me!"
During this period, Muto Yu and Suzukaze Aoba often chatted on Line. After their relationship gradually became closer, he changed the name "Suzukaze-senpai" to the more intimate "Suzukaze-sister".
However, seeing the implicit meaning of "a piece of cake" in Ryoufeng Qingye's words, Muto Yu couldn't help but reveal an expectant smile on his face.
Liangfeng Qingye just joined the company recently, and Feiying Yuedong's new game was just released not long ago, so there is no need to rush and work overtime during this period.
At half past five, the doorbell of the Muto family rang. Liangfeng Qingye, who had just arrived home and had not even had dinner, rushed over impatiently with the idea of showing off in front of others and gaining the admiring gazes of his junior classmates.
But...it's hard to say whether Liangfeng Qingye's trip is a show of strength or a disgrace in front of others.
Chapter 7: Play the game with a roar
"Sister Liangfeng, you're here?"
"Well, I remember that you guys started school today, right? How was it, what was your impression of Toyosaki High School?"
"It's not bad, except that the principal's speech at the opening ceremony was too long. Otherwise, it's fine."
"Opening ceremony, let me tell you a secret. The principal's speech has actually been the same for seven or eight years. I heard that since Toyosaki High School was built, the speech has been the same every year. At least for the three years I attended school, it was exactly the same."
Following Muto Yu's topic, Liangfeng Qingye complained about some gossip that he didn't know whether it was true or not, and then after changing into slippers, the two of them came to the living room.
The game map of "IWanna" is displayed on the computer screen, with a line of words in the middle: "Press R to respawn."
"Is this the game you're talking about?"
“Well, it’s really hard.”
"This type of game... uh... is actually quite basic. Just practice more."
Liangfeng Qingye hesitated for a moment, but still did not directly say that Muto Yu's gaming skills were too poor. After all, as qualified seniors, they should protect the self-esteem of the juniors!
"Really? Sister Liangfeng is really amazing. I'll ask Sister Liangfeng to help me pass the level. After all, Sister Liangfeng told me that playing games should be done from beginning to end, right?"
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Liangfeng Qingye patted his chest confidently, then took the keyboard handed to him by the other party with some doubts.
"Eh? What are you giving me a keyboard for?"
"Playing games."
"For this kind of game, I can just use the keyboard that comes with my laptop."
"Let's use this external keyboard, just to be safe."
Seeing the strange expression on Muto Yu's face, Liangfeng Qingye didn't think much about it. Since the other party insisted that he use this external keyboard, he would just do as the other party requested. It was not a big deal.
After connecting the keyboard, Yu Muto briefly introduced the operation of this game. In fact, "IWanna" has very few operations.
Move left and right, jump, respawn, shoot, these are the basic buttons. Some special maps have special buttons, but the map made by Yu Muto does not have them.
After explaining the various operations to Liangfeng Qingye and obtaining the consent of Muto Yu, she changed the game's operation binding keys to ones she was familiar with, and then confidently chose to start from the beginning.
"Actually, this kind of game is very easy to beat as long as you master the method..."
As he spoke, he controlled the character to jump up and was about to jump over a triangular thorn. In front of Liangfeng Qingye's astonished gaze, the triangular thorn took off vertically and the character turned into a ball of ketchup.
"..."
"..."
Liangfeng Qingye and Muto You looked at each other in silence. After a moment of silence, she coughed twice.
"That was a mistake just now. I didn't expect this map to have traps. These traps are actually very easy to avoid. They kill you the first time you see them. As long as you know they exist, you won't die from them again."
She pressed the R key to regenerate again. At this time, Liangfeng Qingye still did not realize the seriousness of the problem. After she controlled the character to seduce every three steps and finally reached the next map, she was dumbfounded.
There are a large number of large and small thorns, which test your micro-management and body movement. There are also various thorns that suddenly grow longer, explode, and pits that you can't get out of once you jump in...
"This game is crazy!"
Liangfeng Qingye finally couldn't hold it back, and truly demonstrated the principle of "you have to roar while playing games".
"See, I told you this game is really difficult, but Sister Liangfeng, you're amazing! I've died over 200 times and still haven't reached this point, but you've only died over 50 times and you've already reached this point."
Suzukaze Aoba is indeed a master of the game, and Muto Yu admits that his opponent's strength is much stronger than his current self.
Hearing the praise from Muto Yu, Liangfeng Qingye's mood finally calmed down a little, and then she continued to fight. After all, she had reached the penultimate level.
In order to motivate players, the current level number and the total number of levels are displayed in the upper right corner of each map, so players can intuitively see their progress.
(The number of levels here refers to the number of pictures. "IWanna" is a game with a static map, so one picture is one level.)
If you don't complete the game in one go, all the suffering you've endured before will be in vain. You have to see the end of the game!
With this thought in mind, Liangfeng Qingye continued to enjoy this ultimate torture. At least Muto Yu was still a human being and did not set up some unethical mechanisms that would directly return to the starting point of the game after saving the game.
