There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Li Nian thought so, sighed heavily, but finally said.

"In this case, I must also show enough enthusiasm."

Chapter 177 Original Author...and Martial Arts Instructor

Li Nian's words still sounded calm and indifferent, as if he had no emotion. At first glance, he didn't feel much sincerity, but Ren knew that this might be the proof that this boy finally started to get serious, so he smiled.

Yes, just as he thought, Li Nian has only now corrected his attitude.

Before this, although Li Nian was not unwilling to help, he had to admit that he did find it a bit troublesome.

He was more inclined to want to stay out of it, be a hands-off boss, and leave most of the things to Ren and Misaki to handle on their own - on the one hand, this was because he felt that was enough. After all, when it came to animation production, these two were experts, and there was nothing wrong with leaving it to the experts, without him having to interfere too much.

On the other hand, he really didn't want to put too much energy into it.

But now, listening to Ren and Misaki, it is obvious that they have big plans, and it seems that they also have some expectations of Li Nian, as the original author, and need him to do more than he imagined.

More importantly, they are willing to invest 20 million yuan in it.

Talking about money may seem a bit cliché, but in fact, it has to be said that this is the most convincing form of sincerity.

The world is bustling with people all seeking profit. Once a large enough capital operation is involved, everything will move very efficiently, including creation. Investing so much into it, it can naturally be said to be purely out of interest. Misaki Kamiigusa really wants to make a big name for herself.

At this stage, it is no longer just the three people present who are involved. The production team that will be commissioned later must also be taken into account. What is produced at that time will be the joint achievement of the team, and will involve all people involved in the creative process.

When a hobby becomes a job, all kinds of meanings have changed. Realizing this, Li Nian felt an expectation that she had to respond to.

"But... I really don't know what you need the original author to do when making animations? I understand that you need to communicate with me about the confirmation and modification of the script, but I'm useless in other aspects, right?"

"No, no, no, you are very important in our plan, Newcomer-kun! Of course, you are more than just useful."

"Then what use am I?"

"First, I want to ask you a question?"

Uegusa had a serious expression. Li Nian was influenced by it and also became a little more serious.

"You ask."

“Can you kungfu?”

"..."

"You know kungfu, right?"

Shang Jingcao asked the stunned Li Nian again.

Li Nian nodded reluctantly.

"know a little."

"I knew it! After all, when we talk about Chinese people, it's all about kungfu and cooking!"

"Do you have any misunderstandings about Chinese people...so why are you asking this?"

"After all, if I want to do a super gorgeous fight scene, how can I do it without a martial arts instructor? What do you think, Rookie-kun?"

"…You plan to let me be your martial arts instructor?"

"That's it!"

Li Nian remained silent, but he also felt that he was the only one who could be a martial arts instructor, so he nodded and agreed to the request.

"You also know martial arts. You are worthy of being an active exorcist, right? You are really amazing." Ren smiled and clapped his hands. "By the way, how good is martial arts?"

Li Nian thought about it and answered hesitantly.

"...to the extent that he can do anything, anywhere?"

"...You can't call that a little bit, right?" Ren was stunned: "Rather, it's completely out of the realm of martial arts?"

Li Nian shrugged.

"Anyway, if you need martial arts guidance, I think I can do it."

If it were three minutes ago, Li Nian would definitely not admit that he knew martial arts... But since he was told to motivate him, even though the area where he could shine was a little different from what he expected, it didn't matter as long as he could help.

He also understood what Kamiigusa was planning. In a 30-minute short film, the fighting scene would definitely occupy a very important position and would undoubtedly become the most important climax. If done well, it would be the finishing touch, but if done poorly, it would ruin the whole thing. Therefore, an excellent martial arts instructor was indeed needed, and Li Nian took over the task without hesitation.

"Great! With the help of a professional exorcist like Rinjin-kun, I will definitely create an excellent fight scene that will go down in the history of animation production!"

"Are you happy too early?"

"Anyway, are you willing to provide assistance, Newcomer-kun?"

"Well, that's it."

Ueigusa stared at Li Nian with great excitement. He stretched out his hand, moving his fingers restlessly, and put on a chivalrous expression.

"Furthermore, I can do whatever I want with Xinren-kun's body..."

"..."

"Hehehe, get ready, I'll take your place this time!"

"...Do you really remember that you came to cooperate with me?"

"Enough joking, Misaki." Ren saw that Li Nian's face was darkening again, so he reached out and gently tapped Uegusa's head to stop her from thinking too much, and then said to Li Nian, "With a humanoid Gundam that can fly into the sky and into the ground as the martial arts instructor, I think Misaki will definitely be able to produce a good effect in the fighting scenes. But this certainly doesn't mean that you as the original author are not important. It's just that it's only in the planning stage now, and we haven't contacted a specific production company to officially start the production process... At this stage, I mainly want to sort out the script issues. Without further ado, let's talk about it now."

"no problem."

Afterwards, Li Nian and Mitaka Ren discussed the script issues.

Although it was called communication, most of the time it was just Mitaka Jin who was asking questions unilaterally. He asked about all aspects of the book "The Promise of the Fallen Demon King and the Dumb Hero", such as the original intention of the creation, the core of the story, the detailed settings of the characters and background, the internal logic of individual plots, the subtle changes in the characters' emotions... and so on.

It can be seen that Mitaka Ren really read the manuscript over and over again, and asked many questions about important points. Li Nian also answered these questions carefully one by one, organizing his thoughts into coherent and clear words. His answers were very clear and understandable, which made Mitaka Ren feel that he had gained a lot and deepened his understanding of the details of the original work.

Shang Jingcao would sometimes interrupt and ask questions, such as whether Li Nian was a virgin, whether he had any experience in love, what type of girls he liked, and what sex positions he preferred...

Of course, Li Nian ignored all these meaningless sexual harassment. Apart from that, she would occasionally ask some serious questions, asking Li Nian to describe a scene in more detail, or to explain the meaning of a character's actions and lines.

Just like that, half an hour later...

"Senior Ren, there is one thing you must understand. These people are not fighting for some illusory justice. Their understanding of justice is a summary based on their own standpoints and experiences..."

Li Nian was answering Sanying's question when suddenly the door of the living room was pushed open. Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and looked up, and saw Qingshan stumbling in.

Chapter 178: The Collapse of Qingshan

"Qing...shan?"

Li Nian's greeting turned into a stunned question at the end because he saw Qingshan's current state.

After breaking the door open, Qingshan leaned against it diagonally, putting his center of gravity entirely on it, as if he would slide to the ground if he didn't do so. He was still panting as if he was very tired from walking all the way back. He slowly raised his head when he heard Li Nian's call.

Blank eyes, flushed cheeks, beads of sweat oozing from the forehead, when everyone saw Qingshan like this, they suddenly realized something.

Li Nian frowned tightly: "Qingshan? You...?"

"It's okay... I'm fine."

Qingshan said this immediately before Li Nian asked the question, and she even chuckled to prove her words.

But the sound coming out of her throat was different from usual. It had lost its usual vitality and sounded weak and hoarse. The smile on her forehead that couldn't hide her pain and was sweaty also seemed forced.

"You guys keep chatting... I... just want a glass of water."

Qingshan seemed to be enduring something. She spoke hesitantly, then left the door frame, propped herself up, and walked towards the table. But as soon as she took a step, she could be seen to be unsteady and unsteady. She barely took two or three steps under the gaze of everyone, and suddenly she staggered and was about to fall.

Ren and Misaki were both startled and subconsciously wanted to stand up to help her, but they were too late to do so as they were sitting on chairs at a distance. Li Nian reacted faster than them. As soon as he saw Aoyama like that, he felt that she was about to fall. At this moment, the accident happened suddenly. He dodged and appeared in front of her. He stretched out his arms, hugged Aoyama's shoulders and held her steady.

Qingshan climbed onto Li Nian's strong arms and managed to keep his balance with his help.

"You call this okay? Huh?"

Li Nian said in a cold voice, with a rare hint of anger in his tone. Qingshan shrank his head, a little frightened, but still shook his head vigorously.

"I'm really fine... it's just, cough cough...! Uh, I think I have a slight cold."

She finally couldn't help coughing.

"Cold? Let me take a look." Li Nian touched Qingshan's forehead with the back of her left hand. Feeling the touch of skin, the girl immediately subconsciously wanted to reach out and open him up, so she raised her hand.

"Don't move!" Li Nian shouted impatiently, scaring Qingshan. His body stiffened and he stopped moving obediently. During this time, Li Nian felt the heat from the back of his hand.

I have a fever, and it's quite severe.

"I said I didn't... ahem!"

Qingshan wanted to argue, but as soon as he opened his mouth he started coughing violently. How could he look like he was okay?

"You'd better shut up." Li Nian shook his head, removed his left hand from Qingshan's forehead, opened his palm behind him, and used his telekinesis to control the kettle on the table to automatically float up, poured water into the cup, and then beckoned his fingers, and the cup flew back to his hand steadily, and he handed it to Qingshan's mouth: "Here."

"Cough, cough cough...Thank you." Qingshan took the cup with trembling hand.

"Xiao Qihai, sit here!" Shang Jinggusa had hurriedly brought a stool.

Li Nianfang Qingshan slowly sat down on the stool, retracted his arm, looked at the girl who began to drink water in small sips, frowned, and thought to himself that this development had a feeling of "it's finally here".

"As expected, it has turned out like this." Ren walked up to him and obviously had the same idea. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "And why did it have to be at this time... This is really bad."

"At this point in time?" Li Nian glanced at him and heard something behind his words.

"Tomorrow is Xiao Nanami's press conference." Kamiigusa answered the question with a look of worry on his face.

Li Nian suddenly remembered the drama that Qingshan had been preparing and practicing these days, and he smacked his lips.

Tomorrow? That's a really bad time.

“It’s… okay…” Qingshan finished drinking the water and lay down on the chair. He squinted his eyes and looked at the ceiling, covering his forehead, which was painful and weak: “I won’t… mess up… I can’t… mess up.”

She has already started to become unconscious, and it is clear that she will not be able to recover tomorrow. I am afraid that things are really messed up.

When thinking of this possibility, Li Nian felt a little heavy in his heart. Qingshan had been preparing for this for so long, but all his efforts were going to go to waste...

He didn't say it, just said: "Anyway, Qingshan, go back to your room and rest today. I'll buy you some medicine later. You can take it first."

"I can't rest... I... I still have work to do later..."

"Don't be ridiculous. You're still going to work like this? What's the phone number of your workplace? I'll ask for leave for you."

"Taking leave suddenly...will cause trouble to the other party."

"Idiot, if you go there in this state, you will really cause trouble for the other party."

"That's right, Xiao Nanami! You should have a good rest and don't think about anything! We still have to prepare for tomorrow!" Kamiigusa nodded in agreement, and then advised Qingshan: "Hurry up, go back and rest, everything will be fine after a good sleep!"

Thinking of the important press conference tomorrow, Qingshan seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem. He calmed down obediently and nodded slightly.

"I'll help you go back to your room and sleep."

"I will do it myself……"

Qingshan was still trying to be stubborn, but Li Nian was too lazy to listen to her nonsense anymore. She grabbed her arm and lifted her up without saying anything.

Qingshan resisted slightly, but she was weak now and had no strength at all. The resistance was only symbolic. Finally, she seemed to give up and cooperated with Li Nian, leaning on his back and moving with difficulty.

Just as Li Nian thought, she was almost losing consciousness at this moment, and her whole body was so weak that she almost needed others to bear her whole weight. If it were Jingcao or Renlai, it might take some effort to carry her to the second floor before they could take the initiative to take over the job.

He was very strong, so it was no effort for him to lift the girl's small body, but he still carefully carried Qingshan back to the dormitory, gently laid her down on the bed, and just as he pulled his hand away from behind Qingshan, she grabbed it again.

"what happened again?"

Qingshan was almost completely unconscious at this time, and his movements seemed to be subconscious, and he was mumbling like in a sleep.

"I must go...I must..."

Li Nian looked at her with complicated eyes, sighed after a while, but answered firmly.

"Don't worry, you will make it, just sleep well."

After hearing these words, Qingshan seemed relieved and smiled slightly. The hand he was holding on Li Nian lost its strength and fell down, and he fell into a complete sleep.

Li Nian looked at the girl's flushed face without saying a word, listened to her painful breathing, shook his head and sighed.

"It feels like I have brought this upon myself..."

Aoyama's condition is obviously caused by overwork. She has to take care of Shiina, work so many jobs, study and receive training. It would be strange if she is not exhausted.

"I hope this incident will teach you a lesson."
