I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Ayano Iida and Raiji did not disturb the focused girl and patiently waited for her.

Raiji had a strong liking for Shiina Mashiro. The scene shown on the screen was the most heartbreaking Mashiro in his past life memories. She was sitting alone in the snow, waiting for a certain male protagonist. This scene made him want to smash his computer.

After spending several tens of minutes, Mashiro finally finished her drawing, but she frowned her pretty brows and bit her lip, clearly dissatisfied with her work.

When Raiji and Ayano looked over, they saw that Mashiro had also drawn a picture of herself based on the two-dimensional image that Raiji had just drawn.

However, she couldn't capture that lifelike feeling in her drawing. Comparing the two, Xiaozhenbai felt that her work was substandard.

The stubborn and obsessive girl was unwilling to give up and immediately wanted to draw another one, but Lei Zhe stopped her.

Seeing the girl's somewhat disappointed yet determined look, Lei Zhe simply said, "Don't continue. You won't be able to paint it if you keep going, because you don't understand this kind of emotion at all. How can you possibly paint it?"

"Do you understand the emotions that 'Mashiro' is expressing? Can you make that kind of expression?"

Raiji pointed to the lifelike 'Mashiro' in the painting in front of Mashiro, while the girl silently looked at herself in the painting.

She... didn't understand herself like that, and found it hard to imagine how she could make such a complicated expression.

Not to mention the heartbreaking smile of 'Mashiro' in Razer's painting.

Nowadays, even a fake "three-no" (no character, no reputation, no personality) like Masashi could never truly express this kind of emotion.

"...teach me"

Shiina Mashiro looked at the black-haired boy with sapphire blue eyes in front of her, her voice filled with longing. In Raizetsu's eyes, she was like an adorable little animal pleading with him: "Raizetsu, please teach me."

I promise... cough cough!!!

Faced with Mashiro's adorable, coquettish request and intimate words, Raize almost went along with it.

Knowing Shiina Mashiro's true nature, Raizetsu cleared his throat and said, "My name is Yotsuki Raizetsu, don't suddenly call me that so intimately."

"Can't I call you that?" Mashiro asked cautiously, tilting her head.

This child must have grown up on cuteness alone!

Faced with Mashiro's subconscious attempt to act cute, Raiji remained silent, his mind in turmoil. Meanwhile, Ayano Iida, who was watching the two interact, burst out laughing.

"Oh my~ Is Xiaozhe shy around my little Mashiro? It's so funny to watch."

Faced with the unscrupulous female editor's flirtatious teasing, Lei Zhe glared at her with a murderous look, then looked back at Mashiro and handed her the painting he was holding.

"This painting is for you, but I..."

"Xiao Zhe wouldn't have the heart to refuse Xiao Zhenbai's sincere request, would he?"

Before Lei Zhe could finish speaking, Ayano, who could tell he still wanted to refuse, immediately pressed her cheek against Masashi's and looked at him with a mischievous grin.

Upon hearing Ayano's words, Mashiro's phoenix eyes filled with a timid pleading look, which was very sincere and honest.

This made Lei Zhe swallow back the words of refusal he wanted to say. Looking at Xiao Zhenbai's eyes, he admitted that he was charmed.

However, it seems that he doesn't have much free time to spare to help Shiina Mashiro.

After much deliberation, Lei Zhe sighed inwardly, mocking himself for how his resolve couldn't withstand the request of the adorable young girl. He then took out his phone.

"Let's exchange contact information. I'm only free a little on Sundays. You can have Ayano bring you to my house."

Faced with Reiji's compromise, Ayano Iida smiled, and Mashiro Shiina, standing to the side, also showed a hint of happiness in her eyes.

After finishing Ayano's request, Raiji left first, citing other matters.

After Lei Zhe left, a girl wearing sunglasses and a white sun hat came out of the dessert shop.

The girl took off her sun hat, revealing a head of beautiful, shimmering silver hair in the sunlight.

"Oh my~ I've heard some really exciting news while I was out for a stroll." The silver-haired girl, Natsukawa Masuzu, who had just come out of the dessert shop, had a smile on her face.

She happened to be holding a weekly magazine, a new issue that had just been released this week.

The cover of the weekly magazine features JO Taro, who looks quite young and is dressed in white with a stylish hat.

"I'm absolutely thrilled by this news!"

P.S.: I'm not sure if Masuzu should have a Stand; it seems quite interesting.

Chapter 45: Encountering a Pervert on the Way Home~

On his way to the company, Lei Zhe picked up his phone, which was beeping, and looked at the message and intimate picture that Ayano had sent on behalf of Mashiro.

It's true that no one can live in this world in isolation. With his hands in his pockets, Lei Zhe strolled lazily down the street, not in a hurry at all.

The surrounding crowds of people and cars, the sounds of car horns and conversations, all come together to form this vivid and lively world.

Lei Zhe spent some time getting to his company and, after being greeted by friendly employees, went into his office.

Sitting in his office chair, watching the company's game sales steadily rise on his computer, Lei Zhe knew it would be time to prepare for the next game.

Sekiro and Devil May Cry brought Razer enormous profits, and gamers in Europe and America naturally love these two games.

However, Devil May Cry is more popular than Sekiro over there. The background and setting of Devil May Cry, as well as its exciting songs, are very appealing to Westerners.

He also looked at the types of games online gamers wanted him to make in the next installment. Over 80% of them wanted him to continue making action games, and the rest were just some scattered suggestions.

"Please, Raiden Corporation, hurry up and release a new Devil May Cry! I can tell the story of Dante and Vergil isn't over yet, don't leave unresolved plot holes!"

Is there any sequel to Sekiro? Playing other action games after Sekiro is so boring! Riden, please don't stop!

I absolutely love combat! Please, Raiden, keep making action-combat games!

Undoubtedly, these comments left on Raiden's official website were pinned to the top, and some people even lined up to petition.

1st floor: I've completed all the endings of Sekiro, and I felt quite empty after finishing it because I don't feel anything when I play other action games anymore.

2nd floor: Raiden needs to take responsibility! You guys have spoiled my hands and my gaming senses.

3rd floor: I love Riden's action games, so please keep going!

4th floor: Can Raiden make a game that we ordinary players can enjoy?

......

......

Looking at these petitions, Lei Zhe rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then turned his attention to action games.

Flipping through the drab game catalog, Lei Zhe was searching for the latest game he should make, preferably one that could lay a solid foundation for his early game, like Sekiro and Devil May Cry.

Moreover, he doesn't plan to release the more difficult games this time, in accordance with the requirements in the post.

Ideally, it should be a game that players find incredibly enjoyable to play.

"Yes, you're the one!"

After browsing through the game catalog for a while, he realized that some of the higher-level games were already in his plans, so he focused his attention on games that could enhance his knowledge and skills.

His attention was drawn to Prototype in the game catalog, a game that met Razer's requirements and appealed to players who wanted to experience the thrill of gaming.

The first game in Prototype was considered a classic in Razer's previous life. Even after many years, people still mention that game and want to download it to relive the experience!

The protagonist, Alex Mercer, also known as Brother A by players, has never been forgotten by veteran gamers.

The superpowers granted by the Blacklight virus make playing with it incredibly fun.

One person can scale walls and leap across rooftops in the city, taking on an entire army single-handedly.

Lei Zhe also wants to obtain A-Ge's abilities. Although A-Ge's power may not be comparable to those game protagonists with high-level worldviews for the time being, no one dares to underestimate A-Ge's growth potential.

To put it in perspective, how long did it take A-ge to reach the strength to withstand a nuclear bomb? Only eighteen world days!

His incredible ability to evolve is exactly what Razer desperately wants.

Of course, it doesn't take much time to make just this one game; there's plenty of free time.

While Lei Zhe was considering his options, he unexpectedly recalled his past experiences playing games at arcades and dug out "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter".

These two games will allow Razer's influence to extend into arcades, laying an indelible foundation in the memories of gamers around the world.

The games "The King of Fighters" and "Street Fighter" do not need to be unlocked in the game directory; they are randomly unlocked.

The two games that Lei Zhe wants to make will not be 2D versions. Although the entertainment industry in this era is relatively backward, the quality of the games is not low.

In this era, a 3D style with exquisite graphics and smooth visuals is more suitable.

Prototype was the most important game; the remaining games, The King of Fighters and Street Fighter, were only for expanding the company's influence.

Once the game was finalized, Lei Zhe immediately began developing its game script and project.

Character designs for King of Fighters and Street Fighter were also released at Razer's terrifying speed.

With his programming speed, by 5 p.m., Lei Zhe and his employees had completely prepared the game's foundation.

The character designs for King of Fighters and Street Fighter were all handled by Rai Zhe himself, while the rest of the game development was left to his own employees to do as he requested.

Furthermore, he has already asked someone to contact the managers of major arcade game centers to finalize the cooperation details.

The game Prototype was the most important one. Reigen worked with his employees on the game programming and design. All the completed tasks had to be submitted to Reigen for review, as he was very concerned about his own interests.

After getting off work, Lei Zhe put down his phone, which had ended a call. There were quite a few cooperation agreements finalized today.

After buying a lot of things from the shopping street, Rai Zhe also bought some cakes that Kasuga Hijiri wanted to eat from the cake shop. Although Rai Zhe could make them for her himself, Kasuga Hijiri seemed to have gotten used to a certain flavor of cake before meeting him.

On his way home, Reiz felt a familiar gaze fixed on the object in his hand, and he immediately turned to look.

His lips twitched, and he was speechless, carrying the cakes, bread, and cooking sauces he had bought. He looked at the silver-haired girl sitting in the corner not far away.

The familiar armor, the gorgeous and elegant purple dress, the unforgettable dazzling silver hair, sitting in that slightly dark corner, looked as cute as an abandoned kitten.

Yu stared intently at Razer with her emotionless, sapphire-blue eyes...

She was carrying a large bag of groceries, and it seemed that it also contained her favorite pudding.

Are you just going to squat here and not move?

Lei Zhe felt somewhat helpless. After all, he was a powerful necromancer; he shouldn't have to end up on the streets.

Moreover, he had given the girl quite a bit of money beforehand, enough to at least find her a place to stay temporarily.

Although using words can cause severe headaches, as long as she keeps her mouth shut, others will treat her with utmost respect.

Looking at the pitiful silver-haired girl curled up like a kitten, Lei Zhe lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

Then, amidst the girl's subtly expectant gaze, Lei Zhe turned and walked away.

They didn't offer her any delicious food.
