I'll kill you after I finish this game!

With a perfect appearance (10/10), an 8/10 in personality, a 9/10 in personal qualities, and the ability to make her partner feel secure (10/10), the outstanding Lei Zhe would definitely be very attractive to her if he were the same age as her.

Hiratsuka Shizuka naturally understood Raiji better than Chihiro Sengoku. Upon hearing her best friend's sudden, alarming remark, she looked at her warily and said, "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to lay a hand on my student! No matter how badly our blind date fails, you can't cross that line!!"

We agreed to find partners together, but you've set your sights on my student! That's just too much!

I have no intention of doing such a heinous thing, how could it be your turn?

"It's just an example. If you encountered someone with good conditions both inside and out, and if the conditions were met, I don't believe you wouldn't make a move!"

Chihiro Sengoku said nonchalantly, and at the end, she gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a mischievous grin, which made the latter blush.

That's absolutely right. If you can find a partner, who would want to be a spinster with you?

Seeing the students enjoying the bittersweetness of youth in pairs at school, while her own family kept urging her to get married and find a partner, was driving Hiratsuka Shizuka to the brink of explosion.

Am I, Shizuka Hiratsuka, a mass-produced assembly line worker, not worthy of a genuine and beautiful love?!?

Who says a teacher can't find happiness? I, Hiratsuka Shizuka, refuse to accept this!!!

P.S.: Does anyone have any game recommendations for early-game Razer? High-stakes games, except for those with God's Wrath, are best played in the mid-to-late game. Smaller games like Journey to the West are a good option for early-game development, as both the abilities and items are quite good.

Of course, there are also side-job games similar to a certain Antarctic beast farm, and some people have recommended Azur Lane to me.

Some not-too-excessive single-player games can also be recommended.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Final Optimization of the Game

In the classroom, after Lei Zhe returned, the students, who had been quite noisy, immediately fell silent upon seeing him, barely daring to breathe.

Hayato Hayama glanced at the empty seat of Tobe Sho with a complicated expression, then looked at Rai Taku's back with a hint of hesitation, and finally sighed without saying anything.

When the Mediterranean-looking teacher entered the classroom, he looked at the relatively quiet students with a strange expression, somewhat puzzled as to why these energetic little rascals were so quiet today.

"We have a new student transferring to our class today. She is a returned overseas student. Xia Chuan, please come in."

The Mediterranean-looking teacher adjusted his glasses and spoke, then looked at a girl with exotic features outside the door and gestured for her to come in.

A strikingly beautiful figure walked into the classroom, causing all the students, regardless of gender, to stare in surprise, except for Lei Zhe.

After all, this beautiful girl is truly eye-catching in appearance, and there will probably be another school beauty in the future.

"Natsukawa Masaki, this is my name. I recently returned from abroad. I hope you will take good care of me during my high school years."

Natsukawa Masuzu had a cute smile on her face, which made the students below the podium unconsciously develop a liking for her.

With her long silver hair and blue eyes, her appearance undoubtedly deserves a high score.

Her features were exceptionally delicate, with an elfin face, snow-white skin, and cherry-like lips. Her smile was incredibly charming, radiating a special gentleness and approachability.

Compared to Yukino Yukinoshita's heartbreaking beauty, Masuzu Natsukawa possesses an "unbelievable beauty."

The beauty that no doll, no matter how meticulously crafted, can achieve, is more aptly described as that of a "gem" than a human.

After glancing at the other person's appearance, Lei Zhe focused his attention on a pink charm on Xia Chuanzhen's handbag.

It's Kirby's pink ball shape, and the cute pink creature looks quite fitting hanging on a girl's backpack.

There are no games like Kirby in this world, and this character has not appeared in front of the public on a large scale. Reiji did not expect that this girl, whom he had only met once, would come to Soubu High School, and that she was wearing a pendant that looked like it was made by a private person on her schoolbag.

A young lady like her, if arranged by her family, should have gone to Shuchiin Academy.

"The last row by the window is empty, and... Tobe Sho's seat is also empty. Natsukawa, you can choose whichever you prefer."

The Mediterranean-looking teacher looked at the students' seats below the podium, pointed to two empty seats, and then gestured for Natsukawa Masuzu to choose whichever she wanted.

Meanwhile, Natsukawa Masuzu went straight to the last row, to a window seat.

Immediately, all the boys in the class focused their attention on the two boys sitting in front of and next to Natsukawa Masaki, who looked nervous, filled with envy.

This is normal. Although there are no ugly girls in anime, there are only a limited number of girls who are considered the most beautiful in a class. Compared to other classmates or other classes, they can only be described as average, while Natsukawa Masuzu is truly beautiful.

After glancing at the beautiful transfer student, Lei Zhe lost interest. Although Natsukawa Masuzu was pretty, he had seen the beauty of God. Kasuga Hijiri, who was at home playing games and waiting for his meal, was better than Natsukawa Masuzu, whether he was mature or immature.

One possesses beauty that transcends the mortal realm, while the other embodies beauty that transcends the divine realm, along with a reassuring and moving aura that Natsukawa Masuzu lacks.

Having had his standards raised by Kasuga Hijiri, Raiji was fearless when it came to beautiful girls like Natsukawa Masuzu or Yukino Yukinoshita.

Moreover, he was more interested in power than beauty.

When Rai Zhe arrived at the Service Department's activity room in the afternoon, he had already received the finished products of "Devil May Cry 3" and "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" manufactured by Raiden Corporation. After testing and optimization, they could be officially announced as completed.

The game's promotional materials were all ready, and he personally oversaw their production.

"The next step is to optimize the game's special effects, making them even better and more perfect..."

He possesses game-related knowledge bestowed upon him by the system, and in terms of optimization, he can transform a trash game into a high-quality production without consuming additional graphics card memory.

In other words, even if a player has the lowest-end hardware configuration, as long as they can run the game, they can experience the ultimate art style.

Most importantly, it runs smoothly!

In Lei Zhe's previous life, some large-scale games were all about pursuing the ultimate experience, but no matter how far they progressed, they had to upgrade their configurations.

He had this pursuit in many games in his previous life, except for that certain Antarctic monster who kept copying and making money.

In the initial stages, it's essential to establish a good reputation. Once you have a good reputation in the gaming industry, as long as you don't make any mistakes or treat players like fools, players will appreciate your meticulous work.

Therefore, it's not enough to simply copy them. If he can't improve upon or surpass his predecessors, Reiji feels he's doing a disservice to these excellent and classic games.

What he and the system care about most is their will and faith in the game; this is the benefit they value most.

Therefore, we must strive for perfection.

"Optimization complete!!"

After Lei Zhe completed the modifications and optimizations of the two games, he first selected Devil May Cry 3, a classic action game.

In his previous life, the game's graphics and combat feel were inferior to the later Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5, but in the hearts of players, Devil May Cry 3 is undoubtedly a classic action game.

But now, thanks to Razer's personal optimization, the game's graphics, effects, and animations have surpassed those of the later Devil May Cry 6.

Lei Zhe thought it was very good.

Compared to the quality of the games in his past life memories, it can only be described as a classic.

So now, this is a game that is almost a masterpiece.

In a world where the gaming industry is constantly evolving, a game like this, with its impressive special effects, graphics, animations, and smooth gameplay, would definitely be a sensation.

Lei Zhe opened the story mode and started the game. The loading screen flashed by quickly, and the game ran very smoothly. After the initial explanation of the story background, he saw the classic image in his mind: Dante, the dashing young man with red clothes and white hair.

He controlled the game character, and the character came to life with smooth and natural movements. The sense of impact even surpassed that of Devil May Cry 5 in his memory.

Lei Zhe, who plays this game, skillfully controls Dante and starts to fight monsters in a showy manner, using various tricks to raise his score to SSS level.

This action game is accessible to most people, but skilled players will definitely showcase their skills when attempting higher difficulty levels.

If the point of playing Devil May Cry isn't to let players show off and flaunt their skills by controlling the protagonist, then the rating system would be meaningless!

Lei Zhe skillfully controlled Dante, unleashing continuous combos and aerial attacks without touching the ground, switching back and forth between the four styles of Royal Guard, Trickster, Sword Saint, and Gun God to deal with the enemy.

He was seriously testing the game's performance when Yukino Yukinoshita came to the Service Club. He was quite busy, so he just nodded to her.

Whether it was because Reiji's previous actions had frightened her or made her truly reconsider her behavior, Yukino Yukinoshita did not initiate a conversation with Reiji afterward.

His relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita has returned to a state of mutual non-interference.

Not long after, Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the door to the Service Club with a deadpan-eyed boy and led him in.

Lei Zhe temporarily paused the game, since continuing to play would be disrespectful to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

He also recognized the boy that Hiratsuka Shizuka brought, after all, he was his classmate, Hachiman Hikigaya.

While Reiji was oblivious, Hiratsuka Shizuka greeted him with a shout, and Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, tucked the bookmark into her paperback, and looked up.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, how many times has this happened? I should have told you beforehand that you would knock before coming in, right?"

As she spoke, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya beside her and said:

"And who is this guy with those vacant, dead-fish-like eyes? It's really chilling to be stared at by those rotting eyes."

Upon their first meeting, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately experienced Yukino Yukinoshita's sharp tongue, which was much more intense than when Reiji first came.

The tension wasn't directed at Hachiman Hikigaya alone, but rather at Shizuka Hiratsuka's rude behavior; Hachiman was merely caught in the crossfire.

Hachiman was initially puzzled as to why one of his classmates with such explosive fighting skills was here, but he was immediately affected by Yukino's sharp tongue, which made him quite unhappy.

Oh no, did I do anything to offend you when I just walked in?

"This guy is Hachiman Hikigaya. I brought him here today in the hope that he can join your Service Club."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sized up Raiji and Yukino Yukinoshita in front of her, then glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya beside her. After thinking about how troublesome the other person might be, she took a deep breath and said.

"As you can see, this guy's mind is rotten and twisted, and he's a lonely and pitiful person."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya, whose eye was twitching, and said impatiently.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to just beat them up?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was even more displeased upon hearing this, and looked directly at Shizuka Hiratsuka, saying bluntly, "Sensei, I never said I wanted to join any weird club!"

After giving the other person a sharp look, Hiratsuka Shizuka completely ignored their resistance and said:

"Then you can join now, because your rotten ideas really annoy me, so I need to find a place to properly correct your terrible attitude towards life!"

"And you're not allowed to have any opinions. I say what you do, yes, that's the dictatorship you're expressing in your eyes!" Under Hachiman Hikigaya's cold, sweaty gaze, the female teacher clenched her fist, which had just been used to kiss his stomach, making a crisp cracking sound between her bones.

And that's not all. Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed to Rai Tsuki, who was sitting not far away watching the show, and said with a sneer, "You should know Rai Tsuki, the classmate who was quite famous a few days ago, right?"

Hachiman Hikigaya turned his tense gaze to Raize, who had a calm smile on his face and squinted his eyes, and his throat moved involuntarily.

He turned to look at Hiratsuka Shizuka, not understanding what she meant by mentioning Raiji. The other woman grinned maliciously and said:

"Xiao Zhe and I are quite familiar with each other. If you refuse, you can choose between my fist and his fist."

Raiji, who was quite respectful to Hiratsuka Shizuka, raised his hands and clenched his fists under Hachiman Hikigaya's horrified gaze, producing a cracking sound that was even louder than Hiratsuka Shizuka's fists.

Having witnessed Reiji smash a soccer ball with his bare hands on the playground before, Hachiman Hikigaya naturally didn't want to choose Reiji's fists; he would definitely cripple him!

In the end, Hachiman Hikigaya's little head nodded quickly in front of the female teacher like a chick pecking at rice, his eyes showing obedience, succumbing to Shizuka Hiratsuka's violent threats.

"So, Yukinoshita, I hope you can change this guy's attitude towards life, at least make him a little more sociable. Can you do that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had witnessed the female teacher and Reiji's coordinated threats, picked up her book and moved her chair towards the window, making it seem like she wanted to stay away and not get involved.
