"I'm so sorry for being an arrogant, hypocritical and utilitarian woman, Lunye!"

An Yi, with his teeth bared, didn't dare to speak anymore.

Kasumigaoka narrowed her eyes slightly and saw all of this. A beat later, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and she clapped her hands to apologize.

"Is that so? I see. It seems I was wrong. Sorry."

"It's good that you understand, Senior. So, how could I possibly date this guy if I hate him so much?"

Sawamura smiled and resumed his upright sitting posture, and Amaki's painful expression suddenly relaxed. He grinned and stretched out his hand to press the instep of his foot, muttering: "I understand the truth, but it's really hurtful to be told that I hate you like this in person..."

"Hmph!" Sawamura shook his ponytail and looked away.

Xia Zhiqiu looked at Li Nian again. Li Nian saw this farce with a helpless expression and shrugged at Xia Zhiqiu.

"You should understand now. I'm right, right?"

"I see, you're right." Kasumigaoka nodded: "Human relationships are the most difficult to resolve, I don't intend to find fault with this."

"I know you just want to find fault with An Yi himself."

An Yi was wondering what Kasumigaoka understood, but after hearing what Li Nian said, his whole body suddenly tensed up.

"That's right. I don't intend to say anything bad about your friendship, but I'm really worried about the plan. The plan is the blueprint for everyone's future work. If the blueprint is so bad, you can imagine what the game will be like. I can't accept this."

"After all, An Yi is a newcomer, so it's normal that the project plan he writes for the first time is not good. So there are still a few days left, and I think he will do better and better."

"After reading that plan, everyone can tell that Amai-san is a newcomer, so do you expect him to make a major breakthrough within seven days and write a plan that satisfies both you and me?"

"I didn't expect that. It was Amaki himself who said that he would write a plan that would satisfy both you and me within seven days. This was a test for him. On the other hand, since you and I agreed to this condition, you should be patient and wait within these seven days instead of finding faults on the first day."

"I'm just saying that it's impossible to come up with a plan that satisfies me within seven days - because to satisfy me, it has to be better than what I do."

Sure enough, in the end, it turned out like this.

If you want to come up with a plan that will satisfy Kasumigaoka Shiyu, you have to do better than [Kasumigaoka Shiyu] who wrote such a masterpiece as "Love Metronome".

How is this possible——An Yi thought.

He is not confident enough to surpass an active novelist in creativity.

So what does Li Nian think? Is he like Kasumigaoka, thinking that if he doesn't surpass him, then it won't be a project that will satisfy him...

"I think there's no definite answer to this." Li Nian said without hesitation.

An Yi looked at Li Nian in surprise. He actually thought so?

Before Kasumigaoka could say anything, Gogen, who was overhearing the conversation, couldn't help but interrupt.

"That's unlikely. Can the difference in strength between Amai-san and Kasumigaoka-san be made up in a short period of time?"

"This guy doesn't have that kind of talent and strength." Sawamura was the person who knew Amaki best, and he also came to this conclusion with a sneer.

Kasumigaoka frowned slightly. It was obvious that what the two said was also her idea. She did not reiterate it, but just lowered her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly asked Li Nian for no reason.

"What exactly do you expect from Aki-san?"

An Yi immediately remembered what Kasumigaoka had said before, and then looked at Li Nian, only to see that he was also stunned by this abrupt question. Then he scratched his head as if he didn't know what Kasumigaoka was talking about, and asked in confusion: "What can I expect from An Yi?"

To translate it, I have no expectations at all.

An Yi was immediately disappointed, but Kasumigaoka still didn't care and just continued to ask questions.

"Because you seem to think that Amai-san is still capable of being a producer. You just said that you think the project he proposed can surpass mine. Isn't this a kind of expectation?"

"... Well, that's true. I have no objection to Aki being the producer, and I think he should be able to come up with a decent project in the end. But the reason may be different from what you think, Senior."

"What's different?"

"I trust An Yi because I have been friends with him for such a long time and I know what kind of person he is. That's all."

"...So you saw potential in him that I didn't see?"

After Kasumigaoka said this, even Gogen cast a look at Amai, wondering if Li Nian really saw something in this well-known otaku in the class that others didn't see?

Even An Yi was excited and asked nervously and excitedly.

"Could it be that I actually have some special potential that I haven't realized yet? I think I have the potential to surpass you and Kasumigaoka-senpai in writing and become the new god..."

"Well, I can see you're still asleep."

"..." An Yi was speechless for a moment.

Li Nian said disdainfully: "Your writing level is higher than mine and Kasumigaoka's? Don't be ridiculous, you can't even beat the five-gen over there."

"Should I thank you for treating others as your little bosses?" Wu Geng said unhappily.

"Don't worry, I don't treat you as a small boss. I always treat you as a small fish."

"..." Wu Geng was so angry that his teeth were chattering, and he began to seriously consider whether he should reach out and strangle this guy to death.

"Then why do you still think that Amaki's plan can surpass mine? Doesn't it seem like you're trying to say that you believe everything is possible?" Kasumigaoka asked with a frown.

Before Li Nian could speak, Kato suddenly spoke.

"Because making games is not the same as writing novels...right?"

Chapter 194: Assists Everywhere

When Kato didn't speak, her presence was inexplicably low, so much so that even if she was sitting in a corner next to the table, people would still ignore this girl if they were not careful. So when she spoke at this moment, although her speech was normal, it felt a little sudden, which really scared Gogen who was sitting next to her.

"Does Li Nian think so?" Kato looked at Li Nian inquiringly.

Li Nian affirmed with a shrug.

"As Kato said... Aki wants to make games, not write novels. Well, although text adventure games are different from other types, in essence, they are just novels with pictures and background music. The script plays a very large role, but even so, they are not really the same as novels."

"Of course I know about this." Kasumigaoka did not back down and continued, "But, does that change the fact that Amai-san is not strong enough? As a game project rather than a novel project, what is remarkable about the project he proposed? I'm sorry, I'm not very good at it. If you have noticed anything, Li Nian, please remind me."

"Well, there's really nothing remarkable about it. It's all garbage. It has no other meaning except to show that he is indeed a weakling."

"...Hey, that's enough. Someone over there seems to be so shocked that he's about to die." Even Wu Geng couldn't bear it anymore and reminded Li Nian.

An Yi had slumped over on the table, his eyes lifeless, his mouth opening and closing like a dying fish. He could be vaguely heard mumbling something like, "I'm just a piece of trash with no value in existence, just let me die."

Li Nian glanced at An Yi and felt that he had said something a bit too much, so he changed his words.

"Of course, as I said, it's normal for a newcomer to have a bad project. It will definitely get better and better with revisions. By the end of this seven-day appointment, Amaki may be able to come up with a decent project."

An Yi raised her head slightly and looked over with tearful eyes.

"Being able to see through something is another thing than surpassing it for me." Xia Zhiqiu stared at Li Nian and spoke word by word.

Li Nian sighed and suddenly said, "An Yi is a stay-at-home, and to a very high degree."

When he changed the subject, everyone was stunned, including Kasumigaoka. She thought about it, then nodded and said, "I can see. So what do you want to say? Just say it."

"…Speaking only of galgames, this otaku has played more titles than all of us here combined."

An Yi was immediately completely excited. Just because of this sentence, he regained his confidence. He sat up straight and pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.

"That's right. I don't have any other advantages, but I believe that the collection of galgames in my room is not inferior to anyone else! The world-famous popular masterpieces of each era are of course, and the unpopular masterpieces from small clubs are the most proud part of my inventory! If you are interested, I can introduce them to you one day..."

“Is this something that deserves to be considered a merit?”

Kato spoke to Gogen in confusion, and the latter looked at Aki with disdain, but reluctantly gave the answer "yes in a sense".

Even Sawamura muttered, "In terms of inventory, I can't compare to this guy."

Li Nian asked about Xia Hill.

"What about you, senior sister? How many gal games have you played?"

"Well... well, there really isn't much to play with."

Although Kasumigaoka is a light novel author and has read a lot of books, she is not completely unfamiliar with galgames, but she has not actually played many of them. She is naturally no match for the heavy otaku who are proficient in ACGN.

Li Nian said: "I won't say something naive like, 'You can become a good game player if you play a lot of games', but there is no doubt that An Yi's understanding of the galgame genre is better than anyone else here."

An Yi puffed out his chest proudly.

Although Li Nian herself doesn't think this is anything to be proud of...

"Ahem." Kasumigaoka coughed. "...Anyway, this is Amaki's advantage. I understand and agree with what you said. But even so, I don't think his plan can be better than mine."

"I understand your thoughts, Senior. The ability to construct and write is not something that can be developed overnight. As an active writer, I will naturally not give in to a newcomer in terms of the ability to play with words and construct stories. I also recognize your strength in this regard."

"…But what?"

"But this doesn't mean that you can deny Amai's possibility... At least, isn't the idea he first proposed quite interesting? He said he wanted to combine the different styles of you and me to write a god-level script and make a god-level game. Although it was an unfounded and arrogant statement, who can say that it wasn't a very attractive proposal? In fact, you were also tempted by this, so you appeared here, right? In this sense, this sentence is enough to become a business plan. To put it bluntly, the essence of a business plan is this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing."

"...How can a proposal with only this arrogant statement be considered a worthy pie in the sky?"

"Of course not. So, if you use a long article to interpret this sentence, so that it is no longer just an arrogant statement, but shows the possibility of having practical significance, it can be called a qualified plan."

Kasumigaoka... and Aki next to her, all showed a thoughtful expression after hearing this.

In the end, it was An Yi who asked the question first - rather than asking a question, his face had an excited expression as if he had suddenly realized something.

"So I need to use my proposal to prove that I can achieve this masterpiece? That will qualify me?"

"Perhaps this is the passing standard for Kasumigaoka-senpai."

Kasumigaoka sighed.

"I originally just thought that Amami's proposal was too bad to pass, but now that you've said that, it seems that I would only be satisfied if he could write a proposal of that level..."

"Yo, I'm motivated now. Now I have a clear goal and direction to work towards!" An Yi said excitedly, "I feel like my mind is full of ideas now, and my arm hurts from wanting to write!"

Kato reminded him with difficulty.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you when you're in the mood, Amaki-san, but don't you realize that your future seems to be getting more difficult..."

"...Ah?" An Yi didn't react.

"Idiot, you don't even realize that the game difficulty has been secretly changed to hell mode." Gogen looked at An Yi with pity: "Can you say the word 'masterpiece' so casually? A masterpiece-level project... Hehe, just struggle as hard as you can within these seven days."

An Yi finally came to her senses and began to tremble, looking at Kasumigaoka in disbelief. She blinked and spread out her hands innocently.

"That seems to be the case."

"You plotted against me!" An Yi suddenly turned to Li Nian.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Li Nian looked away.

An Yi immediately turned back to face Kasumigaoka.

"Senior, let's discuss this..."

"After what Li Nian said, I also think that you, An Yi, have great potential, so I won't interfere with your plan anymore." Kasumigaoka said with a smile: "An Yi, I think Li Nian is right. Since it was you who came up with the idea, you should also perfect it. So, I look forward to your god-level plan."

An Yi's face was pale.

"This is my passing standard." Kasumigaoka made the final statement as if nothing had happened, and then asked Li Nian, "But Li Nian, you haven't told me your passing standard yet? It seems to be different from mine?"

"It can't be taller than my senior's, right?" An Yi had a sad face and looked uninterested.

For some reason, Li Nian stared at Xia Zhiqiu for a while before nodding.

"Okay, let me make my request clear."

He seemed to be about to get straight to the point, but An Yi immediately became serious and began to listen carefully, listening to what Li Nian said one by one.

"First, you need to organize your ideas, clarify the concept of the game, and tell me clearly what kind of game you want to make."

An Yi picked up a pen and paper and wrote down every word in the notebook. Li Nian continued.

"Second, you should think about your plan based on the premise that I and Senior will be in charge of your script, so don't think too much about the plot and leave us some room to play."

An Yi paused, looked thoughtful, and then nodded vigorously.

"Three... I just wanted to make a number that would make sense."

An Yi fell headfirst and said helplessly: "I'm talking to you."

"Oh, it seems you are not satisfied, then I will give you another one..."

"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm very satisfied." An Yi immediately shook his head like a rattle. How could he possibly cause trouble for himself again?

"That's it." Li Nian put down her hand: "Now my and my senior's requirements are very clear, can you write the plan with confidence?"

An Yi nodded solemnly

Thus, Aki's problem was solved (although it seemed to have brought about new problems).
