Under Yu Muto's astonished gaze, Suzukaze Aoba finally spent half an hour and successfully completed the highest difficulty map built into the "IWanna" game.

"Passed the level!"

"Sister Liangfeng, you are so strong!"

Feeling the admiring gaze from Yu Muto, and the joy of overcoming numerous difficulties and hardships and finally reaping the fruits of victory.

At this moment, Liangfeng Qingye felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

This is probably the charm of soul-like games, although "IWanna" is not a soul-like game.

After all, although the Souls-type games are extremely difficult, they do not have designs like those in "IWanna" that are designed to mess with people's mentality.

"No big deal, no big deal, but where did you find this game? The designer of this game must be a bit mentally ill!"

Listening to Liangfeng Qingye's ruthless complaints, Muto You showed an awkward smile on his face, and under the other party's strange gaze, he coughed lightly.

"Ahem, well, Sister Liangfeng, actually, the designer of this game is none other than me."

"Huh? Huh?!"

Liangfeng Qingye's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Muto You with disbelief in his eyes. He opened his mouth and finally closed it again.

She was in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, she wanted to complain bitterly about the other party's inhumane game design, but on the other hand, she was amazed at the other party's ability.

Although this game is indeed a bit abstract, I didn't encounter any bugs during the entire run and it runs smoothly overall, so it can be called a mature work.

"I really didn't expect that you have such talent!"

In the end, all her thousands of words turned into one sentence: at least the junior who got along so well with her had also embarked on the path of game production, which still surprised her.

"Hey, it's okay."

Yu Muto said a few humble words, then ended the screen recording and saved the video of Ryoufeng Qingye completing the game with great difficulty.

"You even recorded the screen?"

"Well, I think this also has a certain commemorative significance for Sister Liangfeng. After all, this clearance was achieved with great difficulty."

"You have a heart."

For Liangfeng Qingye, this is indeed something worth commemorating, and it can also be used to show off to others.

Chapter 8 The Lost Kato Megumi

"What does Sister Liangfeng think of this game?"

"From a broad perspective, it's a complete and mature game, but from a gameplay perspective..."

When Liangfeng Qingye said this, he paused slightly, then stared at Muto You in front of him with a somewhat resentful look and continued.

"Anyone who has played this game will probably gnash their teeth at you."

"Hehehe, what if I told you that players can actually create their own maps?"

"What's the use of that...wait...can't it be?!"

After hearing what Muto Yu said, Liangfeng Qingye didn't react at first, but when she saw the meaningful smile on the other's face, a light suddenly flashed in her mind.

"That's right, it's just what you think, Sister Liangfeng! You can upload your own maps to the Creative Workshop so other players can download and play them."

"If that's the case... maybe it will become popular!"

Others may not know, but at least Liangfeng Qingye, who had gone through untold hardships to pass the level, was surprised when he heard about the function of sharing self-made maps.

Her first thought was to condense the suffering she had experienced into a self-made map so that others could also experience the feeling of being tortured by these hardships.

"Since Sister Liangfeng said that, I feel relieved. I plan to upload the game to the Steam platform later."

"Once it passes the review, please send me a message. I want to recommend this game to my colleagues to try it out."

As Liangfeng Qingye spoke, a sinister expression appeared on her face. Of course, it was more enjoyable to watch others play this kind of torturous game. In addition, she had already successfully completed the game, so she felt even more superior when watching others play this game.

"Okay, I'll send you a message once it passes review. If you need a few activation codes, I'll send them directly to you. This game itself isn't worth much."

Yu Muto's expectation for this game is mainly to make it famous. It is unrealistic to rely on the support of friends to make a profit.

It would be better to just do a favor for free. After all, Eagle Leap might become Yu Muto's property in the future, so it's not a bad thing to establish good relationships with internal employees in advance.

"This...isn't this not good?"

When Liangfeng Qingye heard that Muto Yu was going to give out free activation codes directly, she hesitated a little, but she quickly dispelled this concern.

"What's wrong with this? Just think of it as compensation for Sister Liangfeng's mental loss. Also, if you still feel bad about it, please help me spread the word."

"publicity?"

"That's right, there's no need to make it too much trouble. For example, when you're watching the live broadcast, you can mention the existence of this game from time to time. As for whether it's useful or not, Sister Liangfeng doesn't need to worry too much."

"But……"

Although Muto Yu said this, in fact, Suzukaze Aoba knew that this was no different from taking it for free.

"Sister Liangfeng, please accept it. I plan to price this game at 520 yen. A few activation codes are actually not worth much. Besides, I hope to ask you to help me draw some things in the future."

After much persuasion, Liangfeng Qingye finally nodded and accepted the kindness of Muto Yu.

The game's price of 520 yen has nothing to do with the homonym of Donghuang. It's just because the development document is 52,000 yen, and removing two zeros makes it the perfect selling price.

In the following time, Liangfeng Qingye tried the map editor function, and when the time was almost up, he said goodbye and went home.

After dinner, he uploaded the game to Steam for review. Because of excitement and excitement, Muto Yu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The next day, Muto Yu opened his eyes and yawned. He didn't know what time he fell asleep. He fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.

However, although I didn't get enough rest, with the physical fitness of a normal adult male, I would only feel a little tired if I didn't get enough rest occasionally, and there would be no more adverse reactions.

"I haven't seen such a healthy body in a long time!"

Looking in the mirror, Yu Muto saw himself without even dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. In his previous life, after graduating from university, his physical fitness was completely like a shark.

If I hadn't gotten a good night's rest like this in my previous life, I would probably be feeling like an immortal, with my steps being shallow and deep.

After making simple fried rice for breakfast and lunch, Muto Yu carried his schoolbag and walked to school.

At about the same time as yesterday, Muto Yu walked into the classroom. Compared to yesterday, there were half as many students who arrived in the classroom earlier than him today.

Glancing at the empty seat next to him, Muto Yu casually opened a textbook. He seemed to be reviewing the textbook, but in fact he was browsing the system's game library.

"IWanna" has been completed, so naturally I have to choose a new target. I will still first filter out games priced below 100,000 yen, and then carefully select them.

While Muto Yu was lost in thought, Kato Megumi walked into the classroom carrying her schoolbag. She walked through the entire classroom like a ghost, but no one looked at her.

This is because Kato Megumi's presence is too low, and everyone subconsciously ignores her existence. She has long been accustomed to this. After all, she has been living like this since she was a child.

But when she came to Muto Yu, Kato Megumi stopped slightly, but did not greet her as she expected, and the other party did not seem to notice her.

"Could it be that...what happened yesterday was just an accident?"

Kato Megumi couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind. The excitement she had originally been looking forward to seeing Muto Yu turned into despair at this moment.

To confirm this, Kato Megumi deliberately pulled the chair open with force when she sat down, and placed her schoolbag on the desk in a free-fall manner.

However, these movements did not attract the attention of any student in the classroom, including Yu Muto who was receiving the next game development document.

Looking at the indifferent Muto Yu, Kato Megumi sighed silently and sat down dejectedly. It seemed like a dream that someone suddenly paid attention to her all the time yesterday.

After a difficult struggle, Yu Muto made his final choice: the development documents for his next game, "Plants vs. Zombies," would be priced at 42,000 yen.

The production of this game is also simple. The only difficulty for Yu Muto is the drawing part. Although there is a character design part in the development document, it only contains simple images drawn with sticky notes, which cannot be used directly.

It would not be appropriate to directly change it into pixel characters like in "IWanna", and Yu Muto himself is not good at painting.

and so……

"Sister Liangfeng, I might have to ask you for help this time!"

Thinking of this, Muto Yu chose to buy without hesitation, and then a large amount of document information appeared in his mind. It was at this time that Kato Megumi walked into the classroom.

Chapter 9 Game Review

"Plants vs. Zombies" is a seemingly simple but actually highly strategic game that integrates elements such as real-time strategy, tower defense warfare, and card collection.

The types of plants that can be selected for each map are limited, and using limited plant types to create infinite strategic combinations is the infinite charm of "Plants vs. Zombies".

The cute plants in it are also one of the reasons why this game attracts countless players.

Because of this, Muto Yu is very aware of his artistic level. Although these plants do not require many strokes to draw, the simpler the strokes, the more it tests the painter's ability to draw well.

After digesting the development documents of "Plants vs. Zombies", Muto Yu found that he had miscalculated. Looking through the art design documents in his mind, if he were to commission thousands of pictures, the savings he had would probably not make any waves.

Muto Yuya immediately dismissed the idea of ​​asking Ryoufu Aoba for help from his mind. He really couldn't bring himself to do it.

However, at this point, he decided to develop the program first. As for the art resources, he can only wait for the settlement of "IWanna". If it doesn't work out, he can only put it on hold for the time being and continue development when he has the capital in the future.

After coming to his senses, Muto Yu noticed that Kato Megumi had arrived beside him at some point.

"Good morning, Kato-san."

Although he didn't know why Kato Megumi looked a little strange, Muto Yu thought about it and took the initiative to greet the other party.

"Eh?"

Hearing Muto Yu's voice, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the boy beside her with some surprise.

"Good morning, Muto-san."

Maybe this is the feeling of regaining something lost?

At least for Kato Megumi now, Muto Yu is definitely a very special existence in her heart.

However, before the two of them had time to talk more, the teacher of the first class had already walked into the classroom.

When it comes to studying in class, Yuu Muto basically has a nonchalant attitude: he studies when he wants to, and he can just zone out when he doesn't want to. After all, he just came to experience the happy education of Sakura Empire's style.

As for grades? Just like in college in his previous life, as long as he could pass, it didn't matter whether he was good or bad. He didn't plan to go to college after graduating from high school anyway, and he didn't expect the knowledge he learned in school to change his future destiny.

When it comes to changing your future destiny, the golden finger is much more reliable!

The whole morning passed quietly in class, and during lunch break, Muto Yu still spent time with Kato Megumi.

In Muto Yu's opinion, Kato Megumi's lunch box was as rich as ever, while his lunch box still only contained fried rice with eggs and a few cherry tomatoes to supplement vitamins.

But as long as he could eat his fill, it was enough. If he wanted to indulge in his appetite, his current savings would not allow him to squander it. And he did not have the skills, time or energy to cook his own food.

Kato Megumi watched all this silently, and then chatted with Muto Yu about various common topics.

He didn’t know if it was Yu Muto’s illusion, but he always felt that Kato Megumi was more eager to talk today than she was yesterday.

"Speaking of which... does Kato-san like playing games?"

"Eh? Games?"

Hearing the topic suddenly brought up by Muto Yu, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly.

"What kind of game are you referring to, Muto-san?"

"There are games like Super Maggie (a game similar to Super Mario in this world). Have you ever played it?"

"I've played it before, but I wasn't very good at it. I didn't even finish Super Maggie, so I gave up."

Kato Megumi breathed a sigh of relief. If it were the various gal games that Aki Tomoya loudly recommended in the classroom every day, she really wouldn't understand them at all, but she had played this kind of game before.

"Why did Muto-san suddenly bring up the topic of games?"

"I actually created a game myself that's similar to Super Maggie."

It is said to be similar, but when you actually play it you will find that they are two completely different things, and Muto Yu is now ready to let Kato Megumi see the sinister nature of human hearts.

"Muto-san created this himself?"

Looking at Muto Yu with some surprise, the fact that this boy of the same age as herself made a game on her own had a great impact on Kato Megumi.

"Yes, and it has been uploaded to the Steam game platform."

"Matsumoto-san, are you telling me this because you want me to buy a copy?"

"No, I'll give you an activation code once the review is passed. Then, after you play, just tell me about your gaming experience."

The review efficiency of the Steam game platform was much faster than Yu Muto had expected. After dinner, when he was about to turn on his computer to start writing a new game, his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

I took out my phone and took a look, then my eyes lit up. This was a notification email from the Steam review team. "IWanna" had passed the review and could be searched by keywords.

Of course, as a new independent game developer, there is no recommendation or promotion on Steam, but for Yu Muto, these are all expected.
