"Our class's average score in the midterm exam was the highest in the grade," Ookouchi said.

The students all had happy faces. Although it was a collective honor, they still felt a sense of responsibility as individuals.

However, Ookouchi didn't smile at all. Instead, he said seriously, "Why are you so happy? The average score is so high because the first and second place students are both in our class, and except for a few, the others all did very poorly."

Upon hearing this, many students lowered their heads guiltily, including Saori who was mentioned earlier. As for Ito Kabuto who was mentioned later, he didn't care much about his grades, as long as he passed.

"Everyone who can get into this school is very smart, so low scores can only prove that you didn't study hard. That's it for this time, but if some people are still not serious at the end of the semester, I will ask their parents to come." Ohkouchi looked down with sharp eyes.

Saori lowered her head even more, because she clearly felt that the gaze was directed at her, and that was indeed the case. After all, her results this time were quite different from her previous ones.

Only after the scolding did Ohkouchi start the class. At this time, no one felt lazy and everyone listened very seriously.

"Huh, I finally made it through." She finally relaxed after Ohkouchi walked out after class.

Song Gangdong laughed: "You deserve it. You didn't learn when I asked you to."

"I'm busy with club activities, unlike you who just practice for a while and then leave," Saori complained.

This also made her feel psychologically unbalanced. Songgang didn't practice much but played so well, while she practiced very hard but didn't gain much.

"I don't know who watches TV when he gets home and reads magazines and comics during his rest time," said Songgang Dong disdainfully.

Saori retorted guiltily: "I was combining work and rest at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to practice and play."

But it was obvious that this excuse was untenable. Shinomiya was laughing secretly. In the end, she couldn't make up any more excuses and turned back.

At noon, a group of people were still gathered in the abandoned club activity room. Song Gangdong was eating and watching them chatting, wondering whether he should bring a boy in.

Because if this kind of configuration is discovered, strange rumors will definitely spread, but he shook his head again, because he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.

He is now like a lion, not wanting other lions to intrude into his territory. He finds it a little funny to think about this.

Chapter 148: The video game club is resurrected?

While Song Gangdong and his friends were eating and chatting, there was a knock on the door, which surprised them very much that someone would come here.

This abandoned video game club is located in a very remote area, at the very end of the corridor, so few students come here.

"Please come in," Songgang asked curiously.

Then a student with chin-length hair opened the door and came in. He was wearing a boys' school uniform, so he should be a boy. The reason I was not sure was because this guy looked too much like a girl.

"Excuse me, is this the video game club?" he asked timidly in a low voice.

An Guo Mako was very nervous at this time, because as soon as he opened the door, he saw several girls and a boy. He was already very socially anxious and wanted to run away.

"That's true, but the video game club has been disbanded," responded class monitor Yoshikawa Yumi.

"Yeah, I know," he responded in a low voice with his head down.

Song Gangdong asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"

Facing Song Gang, who had a very strong aura, he was even more nervous. He subconsciously began to stir his fingers, and then stammered, "I applied to the teacher to resume the club."

"So that's how it is, but the teacher agreed?" Yoshikawa Yumi was a little surprised.

You know, it is usually difficult for a club like this that has a bad record to recover, so she was a little surprised that the teacher agreed.

"Hmm..." He still didn't dare to face Songgang and the others.

Yoshikawa was somewhat helpless. As the squad leader, he knew who this guy was at a glance, so he did not ask any further questions. No matter what the situation was, since the other party had obtained authorization, they could not stay here anymore.

"If that's the case, we won't use this place anymore. We'll leave after we finish our meal," said Song Gangdong.

An Guo Zhenzi waved her hands quickly: "I don't mean to chase you away. You can stay as long as you want. Although I have applied, I haven't found all the people yet..."

Yoshikawa said, "It should be easy for the video game club to recruit people."

"Indeed, I would be willing to play games every day," Saori Onishi said with great interest. Unfortunately, she had no extra time in the tennis club.

Shigong said calmly: "If that's the case, I think the video game club will be abolished in no time."

The clubs in Japanese schools are not set up casually. While providing funding, there is also a requirement to submit reliable results.

"The video game club I want to run is not that kind..." An Guo Zhenzi defended in a low voice.

Song Gangdong knew what the other party wanted to do immediately. Since he didn't want to play games, he probably wanted to make games. So he asked, "Do you want to make games?"

An Guozhenzi's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I want to make fun games with the people in the club."

"So that's how it is. But it sounds so difficult," Saori Onishi shook her head.

The year 1991 was when Nintendo FC dominated the gaming world and PC gaming was just starting out. Making games at that time was extremely difficult.

Because at that time there were no convenient programming tools like those in later generations, companies specializing in making games needed a lot of manpower and resources to make a game.

And this is just the programming aspect. The art and abstract aspects are also completely different from modern practices, which is equivalent to primitive people using stone grass to hunt.

When Anguo Mako heard what Saori said, she suddenly raised her head and said with a sparkle in her eyes: "It is indeed very difficult, but as long as you do it, you will succeed!"

After he finished speaking, his face turned red and he lowered his head to look at his toes. He was already very flustered and blamed himself for losing his mind whenever he touched on a topic he liked.

"You're right. How can you know if you can succeed without trying? I hope you can achieve your goals," Song Gangdong said with great appreciation.

"Thank you." An Guo Zhenzi's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and if Song Gang didn't have very good ears, he wouldn't have been able to hear it.

"I'm looking forward to your game, and hope to try it out after it's finished," said Songgang Dong with a smile.

Saori also agreed, "I want to play too, and then we'll see what kind of game you can make."

Anguo Makoto blushed even more and said timidly: "Actually, I'm not sure I can do it in school..."

"Tsk, so you were just bragging," Saori said bluntly.

"Saori" Songgang Dong scolded.

"I will try my best to do it, and I will invite you when the time comes." An Guo Zhenzi's voice was low but her tone was firm.

Song Gangdong nodded: "Come on."

An Guo Zhenzi nodded shyly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you while you're eating. I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye," Song Gangdong responded.

After he left, Qian Huifu said indignantly, "Really? There's no place to eat this time."

Yoshikawa Yumi smiled and said, "There are a lot of vacant rooms in the school. Let's look for one. The one next door is good. We just need to clean it up."

"I don't want to clean..." Saori said weakly.

When they first arrived here, it took them a long time to clean before they could use the house. This was because there were not many things in the house, and the one next door had been used as a warehouse, so it would be difficult to put things away.

"If you don't clean, there will be no place for you," Song Gangdong said lightly.

Saori said depressedly: "I hate that guy just now, he is a boy but he is cuter than a girl."

The other girls all agreed with her words. They were all jealous of Anguo Makoto's appearance. He had big eyes, long eyelashes, a small and delicate nose and mouth, and most importantly, his skin was better than theirs.

"If I change into women's clothes, boys will definitely look at me sideways," said Shinomiya.

"I don't know what brand of facial cleanser and shampoo he uses, but his hair is also very good." Qian Huifu really wanted to know. She felt a little unwilling to be outdone by a boy.

Then several girls began to discuss related topics, talking about Anguo Mako from head to toe. Songgang Dong could only helplessly listen to them discussing a boy.

Two days later, when Songgang Dong was about to forget about the incident, he happened to see a poster recruiting members on the bulletin board.

He looked a little sad at this moment, and Song Gangdong knew at a glance that he was probably having trouble recruiting people. In fact, he had guessed that this would happen. After all, making games is too difficult for many high school students.

"Hello, nice to see you again," Songgang Dong said with a smile.

"Hmm..." He was surprised to see Songgang, and then responded nervously.

"You haven't recruited anyone yet?" Songgang asked.

An Guo Zhenzi nodded sadly: "After they knew I wanted to make a game, they all refused..."

Chapter 149: The Initial Establishment of a Game Studio

Songgang Dong had long expected that Anguo Makoto would not be able to recruit people. After all, for today's students, they have not even figured out computers, let alone writing code.

Moreover, many students have already joined other clubs. It would have been easier if Anguo Makoto had joined earlier, but now, with his poor communication skills, it would be difficult for him to even recruit ghost members.

"Well... let's do this. I and the others will join, but we will have lunch or free time in the club from now on," said Songgang Dong after thinking for a while.

This made Anguo Zhenzi somewhat surprised and nodded repeatedly: "No problem."

He is no longer looking for people to make games with him. Because of the time limit for the application, his main task now is to get enough people.

"That's ok," Songgang nodded with a smile.

Fortunately, the room had not been cleaned up in the past two days, so this saved him a lot of trouble. He then took the application for admission back to the classroom and explained it to the other two girls.

"Yeah, now I don't have to work anymore," Saori was very happy.

Shinomiya had no objection to joining the club and simply added her own name in. It just so happened that she wasn't joining any other clubs at the moment.

In fact, there are rules for student clubs in Haicheng, that is, a student cannot join more than three clubs, so each club is so enthusiastic about recruiting new members. After all, the number of people is related to the survival of the club.

Moreover, most students only join one club, and since club activities also take up a lot of time, this makes the competition more intense. This is why Anguo Makoto cannot recruit people.

"It's a good opportunity for me to see how the game is made," Saori said with great interest.

In this way, Matsuoka Fuyu, Shinomiya, Ōnishi Saori, Nagano Kanna, Chiefuku, and Yoshikawa Yumi became members of the video game club.

Of course, among the current group, only Anguo Mako is a real member, and he still needs to work hard to recruit people who really like to make games. However, it is a bit difficult at this time, and at least he needs freshmen to have a chance.

At lunch time, everyone gathered in the video game club again. An Guo Zhenzi also joined the group. This time, Song Gangdong was finally not the only boy in the team.

"How much funding did the school give you? Since you installed the computer," Yoshikawa said sourly as he looked at the table on the other side.

"This is mine," An Guo Zhenzi said in a low voice.

Songgang Dong understood. You know, computers were very expensive at that time. It seemed that this guy's family was quite wealthy. It was not easy to have a stable family even when the economy collapsed.

"Can I access the Internet?" Saori was very interested.

Of course, her family also has a computer, but it is only used by her father. However, he also knows how to surf the Internet and has played with it a few times and browsed the Internet.

"Not yet, but I have applied for a telephone line here and I will be able to access the Internet then," An Guo Makoto responded honestly.

When Saori heard this, she lost interest because a computer that can't access the Internet is meaningless, but she can come here to surf the Internet later.

"It seems that you are a rich second-generation," Qian Huifu said sideways.
