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

Is it because the opponent is too weak and does not bring any pressure?

Or maybe my heart has also changed a little along with the transformation of my body...

Li Nian was also confused by such subtle things.

...No matter what, being able to remain calm in times of crisis is never a bad thing.

Li Nian shook her head, put this little episode behind her and stopped thinking about it.

Afterwards, he spent the whole afternoon running around in the hot sun as planned. He visited some of the stores mentioned by Aki to get to know the situation, asked them about the job content and requirements of recruiting staff, as well as time arrangements and salary aspects, and remembered them all clearly in his mind, but did not make a decision easily. He would go back and sort it out later.

Running around under the scorching sun like this consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. After having a quick dinner outside, Li Nian dragged his tired body back to Sakurasou and went back to his room to have a good rest.

But as soon as he stepped into the corridor, he looked up and saw that his door was wide open.

Li Nian clearly remembered that he had locked the door before leaving, but he had a bad feeling and quickened his pace.

As soon as he walked into the room, he saw a plump and beautiful girl lying on her bed, eating the snacks she had brought with her, and reading the book "On Current Affairs and Politics in Southeast Asia" with great interest - it was Kami Igusa.

She seemed to have been carrying it for some time, and there was a stack of books next to her, which were the other "inventory" from her previous life.

Li Nian never thought that as soon as he came back, he would run into a girl lying on his bed and reading his pornographic book.

“You…”

"Oh! Good evening, newcomer-kun. Welcome back."

Li Nian spoke in a low voice, and Shang Jingcao just realized his presence, and immediately jumped up from the bed, greeting him energetically. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this situation.

Li Nian suddenly felt increasingly exhausted. He slapped himself on the face and rubbed the bridge of his nose hard.

Seeing him like this, Shang Jinggusa blinked twice.

"What's wrong? You look like your O-pill has been emptied?"

"..."

In this life, it was the first time that Li Nian heard a girl say the word "O pill".

He now had a lot of things he wanted to complain about, including things like that, but after Li Nian's heart was churning, he held it back and finally just asked calmly.

"How did you get in?"

"I have a spare key."

"where?"

"Here."

Shang Jingcao took out the key, and the next moment Li Nian snatched it away.

"Confiscated."

"...Ah?! Stop it! How can I come treasure hunting again if you ask me like this?!"

Shang Jingcao immediately pounced over and was still persistent in trying to snatch the key, but Li Nian reached out and held her head, firmly restraining her movements and said impatiently.

"That's my treasure, I have the right to own it... Ah, that's not important. What I don't understand is why you are so excited about a boy's collection of pornographic books?"

“Because there is valuable knowledge in it!”

"What kind of knowledge do you want to learn from the pornographic book?"

"If I just imitate the girls in the video, I'll be pushed down easily, right? That's what I want to learn!"

"Who do you want to be pushed down by?!"

"Benevolence!"

The name that suddenly appeared here made Li Nian stunned for a moment.

Does that mean Kamiigusa and Mitaka are a couple?

"So please~~~ just let me watch it a little longer? I feel like I'll get the point soon!"

"If you want to research any play, go research it with your boyfriend, don't bother me."

Li Nian's brows were throbbing with veins, and he suddenly loosened his grip on Jingcao. She didn't react in time and fell out of the door with a few steps. Li Nian seized the opportunity to slam the door and locked it.

"Open the door, Rookie-kun! How can you be so cold to a senior?"

Li Nian ignored her shouting and started to clean up the mess. During this time, Shang Jingcao kept knocking on the door for a while, then suddenly stopped and shouted, "I'm not going to pay attention to you!" Then the sound of footsteps was heard moving away, as if he had finally given up.

This made Li Nian breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to lock the important hidden goods into the box, there was a knock on the door again.

Li Nian's nerves tensed up again in an instant, thinking that Shang Jingcao had no idea what giving up was and was still unyielding, but he heard another person's voice outside the door.

"Is this Li Nian? I'm Kanda."

"…Has Kamiigusa-senpai left already?"

"Misaki-senpai has already gone up to the second floor."

Li Nian sighed, locked the box and put it in the cabinet, turned around and opened the door, and saw Kanda standing outside the door with a plate of food, and said to him with a smile.

"Misaki-senpai is difficult to deal with, right? I told you she's an alien who doesn't listen to people."

“I can already feel it…”

"You'll get used to it. Here, this is the dinner I left for you." Kota handed over the plate.

In fact, he had already eaten outside. Li Nian hesitated for a moment, but didn't say it out loud. He reached out and took it.

"You left a portion outside the door at noon, right? Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you with all this... By the way, did you, Kanda, cook all the food at Sakurasou?"

"In principle, we all share the cost of ingredients and take turns cooking... But you see, Misaki-senpai is like that, Jin-senpai is always out, and Chihiro-sensei doesn't care about anything, so I'm the one who cooks most of the time. My cooking skills are not that great, and I don't know if the food I make will suit your taste, so please forgive me."

"That's not the case. It tastes pretty good. But since we're taking turns, let me show off my cooking skills next time."

"Oh! Speaking of which, Li Nian, you are from mainland China, right? Does that mean we have delicious and authentic Chinese food to look forward to?"

"I can't guarantee whether it's delicious and authentic...but I will try my best to make it with all my heart, and I hope I won't let you down."

Li Nian had been recuperating at home for a few years due to illness, and he could only do some housework to reduce the burden on his parents. But after doing so many things, he became quite proficient at cooking.

Kota smiled, then clapped his hands as if he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, when you went out this afternoon, Teacher Chihiro was looking for you."

"...I see. Is she in the room now?"

"She went out drinking again tonight... She will probably be drunk and come back in the middle of the night. You probably won't be able to see her today. You can talk to her tomorrow when you have a chance."

“…That’s the only way.”

Chapter 17: What is an excellent work?

After Kanda left, Li Nian took out a notebook and a pen and wrote down the recruitment information he had learned today according to his memory. After finishing, he looked at the notebook and fell into deep thought.

There are basically no complicated requirements for the part-time jobs that students are looking for. Most of them are jobs like standing at the counter, cleaning, moving things, and being a waiter. The places recommended by Aki offer good salaries. The main thing to consider is the location and time arrangement.

School is going to start in two days, and then I will start a life of going between Sakurasou and school, so if possible, I don't want to go too far.

Then, in terms of time, according to my memory, the school schedule in Japan is not like Li Nian's high school days, where classes are packed from Monday to Sunday from morning to night. At least as far as Li Nian knows, the Sobu High School where my predecessor studied did not have morning and evening self-study classes. There were only six classes a day, which ended at 3 pm, and then there was a long period of "club activities".

However, this has nothing to do with its predecessor. The predecessor did not join any clubs and always belonged to the "Go Home Department". For students who did not join clubs, it was equivalent to school being over at 3 pm, and then it was all personal free time.

This means that you can use the afternoons and evenings on weekdays, and you can also work during weekends.

If I use all this time to do several part-time jobs, I will definitely be able to earn a good income...

When this idea came to his mind, Li Nian thought about it carefully, but still rejected it.

"I can't spend all my free time working... I still have to practice."

Since learning the knowledge in the skill tree, Li Nian has built up a general understanding of the "spiritual world" in his mind. He clearly understands that he can now become an "exorcist".

That was his future career intention. Compared with that, working part-time was just a stopgap measure.

Of course, even if he wanted to become an exorcist now, he only had a vague direction. He had no idea how to become an exorcist specifically - what kind of process he had to go through to obtain such a profession.

However, this did not prevent Li Nian from continuing his practice. It had nothing to do with his future career, it was also a way to strengthen himself.

Rather, becoming an exorcist is not the result of practice, but just one of the inevitable results along the way.

Splitting mountains and rocks, overturning rivers and seas, going up to the sky and into the earth... these are not fantasies in the "spiritual world". The means to realize those phenomena are called techniques, and Li Nian is certain that with a deeper study of the skill tree, he will master all these methods. After that, he may have the possibility of becoming "the one who possesses great power."

"What should I say? Will I really become a monster who can dismantle Gundams with my bare hands?"

Thinking of this, Li Nian raised his muscular arms, clenched his fists, and felt the terrifying energy flowing in his blood vessels.

He knew that theoretically it was a foreseeable possibility, but because of this, he now felt it was even less real.

Although it’s not that I don’t have aspirations…

Putting aside the cultivation, in addition to "what should be done", Li Nian also wants to have some leisure time to do "what he wants to do".

For example, picking up the interest in writing again... although something that takes up a lot of time and energy cannot be called a leisure interest.

In short, there are too many meaningful things to do, and no matter what they are, they can occupy the fragmented time. It feels like every minute and every second of the days to come can be utilized.

Is it really best to start by drawing up a plan?

Li Nian scratched his hair in annoyance. Even though everyone knew that he should do this, he was not good at managing and restraining himself.

Just do what you can step by step... fill the existing time first, and find some short-term odd jobs nearby.

Li Nian had an idea. He circled a few jobs whose schedules did not conflict with his own, decided to apply for them tomorrow, then tore off a page of paper and put it in his pocket.

After doing all this, he looked up at the clock. It was just getting dark, not even eight o'clock.

For the sake of health, it is recommended to go to bed early and get up early... This time is too early, go exercise and practice some spiritual practice.

Thinking this, Li Nian stood up and was about to go out to find an empty place to practice. Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. Li Nian picked up the phone and saw that it was a line message from An Yi.

——"Have you read the book? What do you think of it? I would be very grateful if you could give me a 3000-word review after reading it!"

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that An Yi had lent him a book today. He looked up at the books thrown on the bed. They were volumes 1, 2 and 3 of "Love Metronome" which An Yi strongly recommended.

"I still have 3000 words of thoughts..."

Li Nian shook his head in disbelief, thought about it, and decided to change the reservation temporarily.

To be honest, novels with too much romance elements are not really to his taste. Books with the word "romance" in the title are the type that he would definitely skip when he was looking for books... At this time, he decided to give An Yi some face and just read one book for the time being. After all, he can put it down at any time...

He reached out to the first volume of the novel.

……

Really fragrant!

As a result, I couldn't stop watching it.

My attention was caught from the beginning, and then I became interested. After that, as the story progressed, I was completely immersed in it without realizing it.

I was so focused on the book that I couldn't even notice the passage of time.

It was not until the last scene where the hero and heroine kissed and Li Nian turned the page to see nothing but a blank page that she realized she had finished the third volume.

Li Nian closed the book in a daze, and suddenly felt his eyes moist. He actually felt like crying.

After wiping his eyes and taking a deep breath, Li Nian looked at the cover of the book again with mixed feelings, and there was a little more awe in his eyes.

It's really good. It's not that I don't like novels of the youth romance type, but it's because I haven't found any excellent works of this type for a long time.

Now, after reading it, Li Nian couldn't help but jump out of the reader's perspective and start analyzing from the perspective of the author.

The content of this book, as its name suggests, is a simple boy-meet-girl love story.

To say that this is a perfect novel is far from the end. Even when you start reading it, you can vaguely feel a kind of awkwardness between the words.

However, because of this, the further you read, the more clearly you can feel the author's progress.

Then the story reaches its climax, and the emotional entanglements between the characters become more and more gripping. Combined with the obvious improvement in the author's writing skills, there is a very distinct feeling that the story is getting better and better overall.

The author is particularly good at grasping the girl's wavering and delicate state of mind. As a result, by the end of the third volume, he has created an extremely cute heroine who makes single people's hearts beat fast...

"Thanks to An Yi for the recommendation."

I have a strong urge to read the fourth volume... but there is no follow-up content at hand.

Li Nian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, looked up at the clock, and realized that it was already past twelve o'clock.

Not to mention slacking off in my practice, I have already missed the time for healthy sleep...

Touching the smooth cover of the paperback book, I felt extremely satisfied. This is the feeling after reading a good book. It is an extremely satisfying time.
