Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Why are you so angry? This is perfectly normal. After all, writing doesn't require memorizing everything from the beginning or knowing where the plot is at. You can just write according to the outline."

"But..." Xiu Fan paused for a moment, realizing that what he said made perfect sense.

But why do I feel a little annoyed?

"If you dare to write the next few volumes worse than the first three, I'll kill you," Xiu Fan threatened.

"Don't worry about that," Tsuchimikado Fuyu paused, saw Xiu Fan nod in satisfaction, suppressed a laugh, and said seriously, "You can't kill me, whether in the game or in real life."

"Ugh!" Xiu Fan slammed his fist on the table again in a fit of rage, gritting his teeth as he said, "Tsuchimikado-kun, do you know how annoying you look right now?"

"It's alright," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said nonchalantly.

Actually, Tsuchimikado Tou was secretly overjoyed. She hadn't expected teasing Xiu Fan to be so interesting, and her exasperated look was hilarious.

Xiu Fan was about to continue arguing with Tsuchimikado Fuyu when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, "Hey, Akane, are you having dinner with your boyfriend?"

"Hananako, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly have a boyfriend? And even if I were to look for a boyfriend, it wouldn't be him, okay?"

"Hello, I'm Nanako Akiyama. Thank you so much for taking care of my Akane."

"Hey, what are you talking about? He and I are just ordinary friends." Xiu Fan hurriedly explained, his face flushed.

"If he were just a regular friend, why would this classmate come all the way to our school to have dinner with you? He's probably wearing the uniform of Soubu High School, which is several stops away from here."

Akiyama Nanako looked at Xiu Fan with an expression that said, "You really can't lie."

"That's not how it is."

"Alright, if you keep giving such vague explanations, you'll really confirm our relationship." Tsuchimikado Tou said speechlessly, looking at the flustered Xiu Fan.

"Hello, my name is Tsuchimikado Fuyu. Xiu Fan and I are just friends. I'm here today to accompany our school's student council president to find Yu Shengyuan."

"And you must be Seti, right? We know each other in the game. I'm from Revelation Online," Tsuchimikado Fuyu calmly explained.

Chapter 511 Game Test

"Eh, you're Revelation Online? I didn't recognize you at all." Akiyama Nanako said in surprise, looking at Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"It would be strange if you could tell," Xiu Fan said to Akiyama Nanako with a speechless expression.

"Even so, I'm still quite surprised. Accompanying the student council president... does that mean you're a student council member, Tsuchimikado-san?"

"No, it's just that I happen to know Yu Shengyuan, so I'm acting as a guide."

"Oh, I see," Nanako Akiyama said, suddenly realizing.

“Yes, that’s it.” Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded and said.

Knowing the truth, Akiyama Nanako suddenly felt a little bored.

I initially thought he was Qian's boyfriend, and that I could use this opportunity to tease her, but it turned out he was just a regular friend, which was a bit disappointing.

Nanako Akiyama sighed, then took her leave.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu quickly finished his meal and returned to the online game club with Xiu Fan. As soon as they entered, they saw Lucian and Ayako sitting together, eating lunch sweetly. This immediately made Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Xiu Fan very unhappy.

"No, I'm stuffed," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, clutching his stomach.

"I just finished eating, why are you forcing me to eat dog food again?" Xiu Fan said, supporting himself on Tsuchimikado Tou's arm and covering his forehead.

Interrupted by Tsuchimikado Tou and Shuuhan, Lucien suddenly felt very embarrassed and quickly moved away from Ako.

Ako didn't feel there was anything wrong with it; on the contrary, she thought that Tsuchimikado Tou and Shuuhan had disturbed her and Lucien's sweet time.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't care about Lucien and Ako's feelings. He took out a USB drive, handed it to Lucien, and asked him to install the contents onto the computer.

"What's in here?" Xiu Fan asked curiously.

"You'll find out soon enough, it's something very interesting," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Seeing that Tsuchimikado didn't say anything, Lucian and the others all turned their attention to Lucian's computer desktop.

Open the USB drive; there's only one folder inside, labeled "Plants vs. Zombies First Closed Beta Version".

That's right, this is the beta version of Plants vs. Zombies.

This USB drive was given to Tsuchimikado Tou by Kobayashi when Elma got off work last night, so that Tsuchimikado Tou could play with it and give his friends and shikigami some feedback.

Then Tsuchimikado Fuyu naturally thought of Lucian and his friends, even though their gaming skills were only at the upper-middle level, and even Ako and Apuriko's skills were at the lower-middle level.

However, game testing requires players of varying skill levels to conduct tests together to obtain the most suitable data, and among these, the data from players of moderate skill level is the most important.

If all the tests were conducted by expert gamers, the final version of the game might be so difficult that it would make people want to smash their keyboards in frustration. However, it is precisely because of their data that the game's lifespan can be best guaranteed.

If all the testers are complete novices, the game will seem too easy. However, if they are absent, the game's learning curve may widen.

Plants vs. Zombies is aimed at everyone, but beginners make up the majority of players. If they can't get the hang of it quickly, the game is doomed.

After the game was installed, Lucien clicked on it out of curiosity, and a game screen that Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu looked very familiar appeared in front of everyone.

The game's opening sequence and scene design were directed by Fuyu Tsuchimikado. While the game is significantly more refined than the original, the overall art style remains largely unchanged.

"This is a game," Lucian said in surprise. "Did you make this, Revelation Online? That's amazing."

"That's really amazing." Ako nodded in agreement.

"How could I have done it all? I came up with the idea for this game, and I supervised the art style, but I didn't do the production of the game."

"I'm just a game designer; the production was handled by my cousin and the others," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.

"Wow, that's pretty impressive." Lucian exclaimed, "I only know how to play games; I know absolutely nothing about making games."

"Add one." Xiu Fan felt as if he had been hit hard, and said with a disappointed look, "I thought it was already amazing that Tianyu could write, but I didn't expect that it could also make games. If this game is successful, it will make a lot of money."

"It'll be alright, if it succeeds," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said modestly, not giving a full answer.

However, if the game succeeds, Tsuchimikado Fuyu believes he can make a lot of money.

In order to cater to the global market, during production, Tsuchimikado Fuyu had Kobayashi and the others add seven other mainstream languages ​​in addition to Japanese.

However, the beta version currently only has a Japanese language option; the remaining language packs are still in development, especially the complete one. Kobayashi and the others are waiting for Tsuchimikado Fuyu to find time to go to the company to develop it.

"Those who will become rich in the future should just die." Suddenly, Ako's voice came from the side. Her eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle, and she looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a sickly smile, "Hehehehehehe."

"Lucian, your wife is in trouble again," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said calmly to Lucian.

“Ya Zi, hey, Ya Zi!” Lucien quickly shook Ya Zi and called out.

Ako snapped out of her daze and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I got confused again."

"Well, it's not the first or second time anyway." Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't angry. After all, that's just Ako's personality. At first, everyone might have been startled, but after seeing it many times, they found it quite interesting.

Out of curiosity, Lucian and his two companions started playing games.

The Plants vs. Zombies beta version only has a level-based mode, and there are only the first twenty levels. After figuring out the gameplay, Lucian and his two friends quickly completed the first ten levels.

After all, the first ten levels are like tutorial levels and are quite easy, but the difficulty starts to increase after that.

Moreover, due to incomplete design, some levels were surprisingly difficult, causing the three of them to fail many times. Then, due to differing opinions, they each installed the game on their own computers and started playing it on their own.

In the end, even after Akagi Masafumi was brought to find Tsuchimikado Fuyu by Aprico, they still hadn't completed the game.

Lucian was the fastest, reaching level seventeen. Xiu Fan was stuck at level fifteen, while Ya Zi was still struggling at level twelve, the level where Lucian and his group had failed many times at the beginning.

"Revelation Online, this game is so much fun!" Lucian exclaimed in surprise.

"Although I hate to admit it, it's really just so-so," Xiu Fan said proudly.

"This is so hard!" Yako slumped onto the table like a salted fish. Lucian had already taught her how to beat the game, but why couldn't she get past it?

"I'll be going now. You guys play first, and then write me a test report tonight. You can write anything, what's not good, what's well designed, which level you got stuck on, or which level you thought was too easy."

"Eh, are we going to be tested?" Ako asked in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise why would I give you guys the beta version to play?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"What are you talking about?" Yapriko asked curiously.

"Ask Lucien and the others. It's getting late, I'm going back now." Tsuchimikado Tou said with a smile, "By the way, Chairman, could you send me a copy tonight too? Please."

"Although there are some things I don't quite understand, it's fine," Yaprico nodded and said.

Chapter 512 Filming Begins

"Fuyu, do you have anything planned for this afternoon?" After class, Rikka Takanashi packed her bag and asked Fuyu Tsuchimikado.

"It's alright now. We can officially start the filming of the movie today. How are everyone's preparations going?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked.

“No problem. As for the equipment, Dekomori will have her Blood Servant bring it over,” Rikka Takanashi said.

"How did her character become a vampire again?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained, then said, "Then let's just go back in a bit."

"Ah."

Soon, Raphiel and the others finished packing and gathered together, then they all went to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's house.

Sanae Dekomori had her bodyguard pick her up by car, and then she and her black cat arrived at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's house.

They were the first two to arrive home; at that time, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others were still on their way home.

Everyone was quite interested in this filming project, so they all participated actively.

"Is this professional equipment? It looks amazing." On May 7th, Fennel exclaimed as she looked at the large pile of filming equipment in the courtyard, the purpose of which she had no idea.

"Damn rich people." Dansheng Valley Senxia and Gabriel said through gritted teeth, their faces full of envy.

However, rather than Gabriel simply envying Sanae Dekomori's wealth, Nibutani Morika was more annoyed with Sanae Dekomori.

"Hmph, you shall all submit to me, and I shall reward you with honor, status, and wealth," Sanae Tokomaru said smugly, seeing the displeasure on Morikawa Nibutani's face.

"You brat, don't get too cocky!" Nibuya Morika said, grabbing Dekomori Sanae's twin tails.

"Let me go, or I'll make sure you don't have any shots on camera," Sanae Dekomori struggled.

“That’s perfect, it’s best if I don’t have to act in this kind of thing,” said Nissougu Senxia.

Just as Sanae Dekomori and Mori Natsumi Nibuya were playing around, Fuyu Tsuchimikado also called on the shikigami to help set up the camera, and they were already preparing the equipment together.

Because the existence of the courtyard cannot be known to other strangers, it is impossible to find a professional to operate it. These things have to be figured out by Tsuchimikado and the others themselves, at most by finding tutorials online.

Fortunately, the butler of the Sanae family had taken this into consideration.

When they learned that this was a film their young lady was making with her friends as a project to showcase their club, the equipment was rather basic.

In his view, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his team were just taking their cameras around and filming; they didn't need high resolution or professional effects.

So although these devices are professional-grade, they are low-end versions.
