As Kasumigaoka said, "struggling to do better", Li Nian certainly had it before, and even developed self-loathing, to the point of stagnating...

"Don't even mention it in the past. As long as you still aim to move forward, this kind of confusion will always be with you and you will never be able to get rid of it."

Li Nian expressed his emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"So, how can we overcome this confusion and achieve further breakthroughs?"

It was not An Yi who asked the question, but Gogen. Li Nian was slightly stunned. He looked up and met the girl's gaze. Seeing her serious expression and feeling some strong emotions in her gaze, Li Nian began to think about this question seriously.

On the other side, Kasumigaoka immediately gave her answer.

“It’s just a matter of trying hard.”

The active light novel writer spoke sternly, as if he had no doubt about this, and continued to give additional explanations.

"If you don't know something, read it widely. If you don't understand something, try your best to understand it. If you haven't tried it before, try it hard. Keep working hard, accumulate knowledge, and hone your strength... Well, this is the so-called correct theory. I'm almost tired of hearing it. It's probably not worth referring to."

"So, am I not working hard enough..." Five lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, "But as long as I work hard, can I catch up with the gap between us..."

"I think so too. There really is no shortcut." An Yi sighed in frustration: "Keep working hard... I always feel that no matter how hard I try, it seems unrealistic to make a breakthrough in such a short time. To be honest, although I know it's wrong, I would rather hear some shortcuts at this time."

Li Nian suddenly said, "There are always ways to take shortcuts."

An Yi was stunned, and then asked half-doubtfully: "Hey, is it true?"

"I have to admit that it's just to accumulate strength. Senior sister said that hard work is the best way, but if you want to accomplish something, strength alone is not enough. To achieve a certain goal, there are often many opportunistic methods. Hard work can't be an excuse for not using your brain."

Kasumigaoka felt a little unhappy.

"Ah, are you saying I didn't use my brain?"

"Don't take it personally at this time..." Li Nian smiled helplessly.

"I understand. It's just a joke. Go on."

Li Nian shrugged and turned to An Yi.

"Aki, for your current situation, Sawamura is right. You think too much."

"I also know that I think too much..."

"Don't get me wrong. If you want to be a creator and embark on a path of self-improvement, I don't think there's anything wrong with you having as many tangled thoughts as you want in the process. But An Yi, what is your current identity?"

"…An ordinary sixteen-year-old high school boy?"

"...Are you happy about this?"

"Isn't this just imitating someone... Well, I'm the producer." An Yi pressed his head: "I think I understand what you want to say, Li Nian."

To understand a little bit does not mean to understand very much, which is not okay.

"You are the producer, and your goal is to make the game, but we don't know what kind of game you want to make, so you need to use a business plan to describe to us what kind of game you want to make, and then Senior Kasumigaoka and I can start writing the script. In other words, all you need to do is dig a big hole and ask us to help you fill it."

"I sound really unreliable..."

"This team is not reliable in any sense... In short, this is the significance of the business plan - it's not unimportant, but not as important as you think. To be honest, you can't write a masterpiece-level plan, and no game can be confirmed to be a masterpiece during the planning stage. In the end, it all depends on the finished game."

An Yi was speechless and looked at Kasumigaoka. She thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's right. I'm sorry for saying something I shouldn't have said. It's embarrassing for An Yi. It's too arrogant to aim for a "masterpiece" before the final results come out. I take back what I said before. Then, let's use Li Nian's requirements at that time as the standard."

An Yi recalled the two requests Li Nian made at that time.

The first is to let him organize his ideas, clarify the overall concept of the game he wants to make, and clearly tell them what kind of game he wants to make.

The second is to let him give Kasumigaoka and himself space to play freely...

An Yi suddenly had an idea. Now that he thought about it, these two sentences were actually hints.

——If you don’t even know what you want to make, how can you start making it?

——Giving the two script writers free rein also means that as a producer, I can be more free to express myself in the planning, right?

“So, I just need to make the games I want to make?”

Li Nian smiled with relief, "You're not that stupid."

"Isn't this request the same as not having it? Seeing you being reluctant at first, you're actually a tsundere."

An Yi smiled happily.

It really shines with a little sunshine.

"You've already sorted out your thoughts and figured out what game you want to make. Let me make it clear that no matter how low my requirements are, I won't accept the worthless garbage you brought out at the beginning."

"Me too." Kasumigaoka seconded: "Even if Li Nian and I set the bar even lower, it doesn't mean that you, An Yi, can easily pass the test. You know, organizing your own thoughts is not such a simple thing."

"Then, once the [original intention] is established, it will run through the entire production process and cannot be easily changed." Li Nian said calmly: "Because your will is our direction, do you understand?"

An Yi was slightly stunned and silent for a while before nodding seriously.

"understood."

"No more questions?"

"No, no." An Yi took a deep breath: "After your guidance, I feel my mind is much clearer and I can write something."

Take a deep breath and smile.

"Okay, I have to try to finish the project plan as soon as possible. Only then can I relax."

His words startled Li Nian, who asked with a strange look on his face, "An Yi, do you really think so?"

"……Any questions?"

An Yi didn't understand.

Li Nian was speechless and waved his hands as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Sawamura had a gloating expression on his face.

"Renya, this is probably the last time you can put on such a stupid face, our producer."

"what?"

Kato, who had been flipping through the comics since the beginning and seemed to be concentrating on it, suddenly spoke.

"I don't quite understand, but once the proposal is completed, won't we start the actual production? Will things be easy then? I thought that's when we'd really get down to business and everyone would get busy."

"Uh, it seems, is that the case?"

"Producer... should be considered the leader of the team, right? Shouldn't he be the busiest one?"

"..."

It was not until this moment that An Yi had some premonition of how many trivial matters he would be troubled by in the future.

Li Nian ignored An Yi and suddenly asked Wu Geng.

"What kind of problem did you encounter?"

Gogen was startled, met Li Nian's serious gaze, and heard him continue: "Senior Kasumigaoka and I are here, maybe we can give you some advice."

After Li Nian said this, Xia Zhiqiu also looked over.

"Have you encountered any difficulties, Gogen-kun?"

"No, no...how should I put it?"

Gogen, who always felt a little awkward in front of Kasumigaoka, waved his hands in panic, his eyes wandering.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Not only that guy, but I will also do my best to help you."

Wu Geng took a deep breath, calmed down, and shook his head.

"It's okay, I will handle it myself. Yes, just like you said, I will overcome it with hard work."

"……Yeah."

Seeing this, Li Nian didn't say anything more.

Chapter 200: Unnoticed Good Intentions

Suddenly, Li Nian raised his eyebrows as if sensing something, and looked towards the main entrance of the activity room.

somebody is coming.

At the expected time, the door was opened with a bang.

The woman who walked in without knocking first glanced at the startled crowd, and her gaze stayed on Sawamura and Kasumigaoka for a while, as if she was a little surprised that these two school celebrities would be standing here.

Finally, she looked at Li Nian, nodded with an expression that said "you are really here", and then smiled wickedly: "You really let that bastard An Yi trick a bunch of weird people here?"

"Hiratsuka-sensei..."

That’s right, the person coming was Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Li Nian greeted him helplessly. Mr. Hiratsuka's reaction made him basically certain that the teacher who approved Amaki's nonsensical club application and agreed to serve as the club's advisor definitely wanted to see him perform.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, you are here! Please sit down, please sit down." An Yi rubbed his hands like a servile and approached the class teacher who had given him such convenience. He took the seat of honor where he originally sat, and his nodding and bowing posture showed that he was extremely attentive.

Mr. Hiratsuka sat down calmly, pointed at Kasumigaoka and Sawamura over there, and confirmed with Amaki.

"Aki, Sawamura from Class J and Kasumigaoka from the third year are also members of your club?"

"Yes, including them and Li Nian, here are all the members."

"It's pretty awesome."

"No, no~~~" Although An Yi was humble on the surface, he had a proud expression on his face. It was obvious that he felt that it was quite remarkable that he could gather such a group of people.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hiratsuka? I need to correct you. I haven't decided whether I want to join this club or not." Sawamura, who has returned to her young lady mode, is still extremely persistent about this point and said it seriously, probably wanting to argue that "someone as smart as I am won't be easily fooled by Tomoya."

Although the discerning people present had already seen from their interactions over this period of time that she was the one most easily deceived by An Yi.

You've been dragged to this activity room by that troublesome Aki Tomoya, and you still want to run away? Mr. Hiratsuka waved his hand lazily, obviously not taking it seriously.

"Oh, then when you're sure, please submit your club application. You're not like Yuigahama, who takes it for granted that you're a club member just because you came to the club a few times for a walk."

The tone that showed he was certain he couldn't escape left Sawamura speechless.

"So this is our club's advisor, Mr. Hiratsuka." Amaki introduced him at the right time, and continued with a smile: "As Mr. Hiratsuka said, why don't you take this opportunity to write and submit your application?"

"...It's unrealistic to think you can easily escape from the project plan hell, Amaki-san?" Sawamura shot a sharp look over with a forced smile.

Li Nian ignored the battle of wits and courage over there and asked the guest directly.

"What are you doing here this time, Mr. Hiratsuka?"

“Is it strange that the consultant shows up in the society?”

Mr. Hiratsuka took the tea brought by Kato and sipped it leisurely as if nothing had happened.

"Not surprising, but as far as I know you are also a consultant for the service department next door."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

"..."

Although he is trying to cover up something as if nothing happened, his acting is too exaggerated. It is obvious that Mr. Hiratsuka is not very good at lying.

I thought I was acting very well and didn't notice that other people around me had strange expressions.

Li Nian was too lazy to expose her and continued.

"Well, coincidentally, let's not mention that. I just have a question to ask."

"You ask."

"Why did you agree to Aki's application to create a club?"

"Because it looks like it will become very interesting." Mr. Hiratsuka replied with a sly smile.

"It looks like that too. So what's so interesting about that? After all, I heard that you changed your mind after hearing my name, Mr. Hiratsuka?"

"Well, how could that be..." Mr. Hiratsuka's hand holding the teacup trembled a little, and his eyes were a little evasive: "Of course I have thought about it carefully..."

"If you have any plans for me, just tell me."

According to An Yi, Teacher Hiratsuka did not agree to An Yi's idea of ​​creating a club at first, but changed her mind after hearing her name. Now her poor attitude of covering up the issue made Li Nian almost certain that she had some idea about her.
