Watching Mr. Hiratsuka walk away, Li Nian finally understood Mr. Hiratsuka's intention of arranging this club activity room in this place. He finished his tea, slapped his thigh, and stood up.
"I should go too. I really need to go back and think carefully about my application... Then, An Yi, I'll be waiting for your proposal."
Li Nian waved his hand and was about to leave, but Kasumigaoka suddenly spoke.
"I recommend the literature department of Hayao University."
Li Nian looked back in surprise, and Kasumigaoka smiled beautifully and continued.
"This is the university I chose as a top-ranked junior who aspires to be a writer."
"Are you aiming to be a writer..."
Li Nian seemed to chew on this sentence carefully, revealing a thoughtful expression, not knowing what he was thinking about, even a little dazed...
Although it was only a moment, Kasumigaoka did capture the subtle change in expression.
But Li Nian quickly returned to normal, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Just left a sentence before leaving
"To be honest, I don't think being a writer is a dream job."
Chapter 202: Natural Volunteer
Li Nian was walking home, looking at the number displayed on his mobile phone. It was his bank deposit, a seven-digit number starting with nine.
Half of it was inheritance and insurance compensation, and the other half was the income accumulated since becoming an exorcist.
Of course, normal people would care about the little money in their pockets. This is a normal behavior. However, Li Nian's action at this time was not a whim. It was to confirm his existing capital and make further plans for the future.
Living in Chiba, Japan, the normal monthly expenses are no more than 120,000 yen. This is because Li Nian does not restrain himself when it comes to eating and buying whatever he wants, so the miscellaneous expenses are a bit high. Otherwise, normally, the expenses would not be as much as 100,000. After all, for Li Nian who lives in Sakurasou, the bulk of the expenses on food and accommodation really cannot be spent too much.
If we start calculating based on this...
There is no need to calculate further. After all, I am a person who earns two to three million yuan a month. Of course I can maintain my current life.
After all, apart from food and accommodation, there are few other expenses. Li Nian is a good young man who doesn't smoke, drink, or go to Dabaojian. He just likes to read books and doesn't know how to spend money.
Checking the deposit figures is to weigh all the existing capital, but there seems to be no point in worrying about money that you can't spend, so no matter how big the deposit figures are, they are just numbers.
Li Nian felt that she now seemed to understand Shiina's train of thought——
I almost feel like money is not money at all. I really feel like I treat money as dirt.
Ah? A string of numbers on a passbook? It's just a string of numbers.
In short, the university tuition is enough and I can still make my own choices.
"...Unconsciously, life has become much easier." Li Nian muttered.
It wasn't like this in the beginning.
Unlike when I first came to this world, I am now much more calm.
However, it is also true that I feel a little confused.
The reason I discovered this is because Mr. Hiratsuka mentioned the matter of filling out the application form.
I have always wanted to go to university. Firstly, I felt it necessary to further my studies for future considerations. Secondly, I dropped out of university and failed to complete my studies, which always made Li Nian feel a little regretful.
But it is also true that I haven’t confirmed the major I want to study, and I don’t know which direction to go in the future.
Confused... Yes, confused. This little thing reflects my confusion about the future.
...Indeed, this won’t work.
Li Nian's study of the skill tree has recently entered a new stage, and that knowledge has begun to repeatedly emphasize the importance of "cultivating the mind".
Only when your mind is free of haze can your thoughts be clear.
Even if it has nothing to do with spiritual cultivation, when someone points it out, the confusion in one's heart has gone from being vaguely transparent to being clearly visible, to the point where it cannot be ignored.
"nmd, wsm?"
Li Nian was asking herself this question very seriously at that moment.
He asked himself in his heart, what the hell are you confused about?
He also quickly gave his answer.
Because planning to come and go actually means having no plans.
Since coming to this world, I have established the policy of taking one step at a time.
To put it bluntly, I'm just going with the flow.
However, even if you go with the flow, there are still too many things to do. Just daily practice is something that time will pass quickly if you concentrate on it for a while, not to mention work.
Apart from work and spiritual practice, that's when I can take a break from my busy schedule and give myself some time to relax. So even if I don't have any plans, I still live an extremely fulfilling life along the way.
As a result, Li Nian went from knowing nothing at the beginning to building up a fairly comprehensive knowledge system and mastering the use of his magical powers. He has made great progress in all aspects and can be considered successful in his practice. He has become active as an excellent exorcist.
The fundamental reason for being so calm is that I have become stronger.
This is a fact.
The power and knowledge bestowed by God are so luxurious that they are enough for anyone to become extremely powerful.
A strong person is naturally qualified to deal with life calmly.
However, the result of being too calm is that you will lose direction.
“It’s such a luxury.”
Thinking of this, Li Nian scratched his head in annoyance, then looked up at the sky.
It’s all because my life was so miserable in the past, I lived every day and never developed the mentality to sit back and enjoy my life.
If you can accept this "Sword given by God" more straightforwardly and enjoy the benefits brought by its power as a matter of course, you will not have the worries of having too much to do.
However, Li Nian still felt that since he had this power, he must fulfill the corresponding responsibilities.
If he has received good news, he should fulfill his obligations. If he has been given new life and strength, he must practice justice as the exchange promised - it has nothing to do with what "God" thinks, but Li Nian himself thinks it should be so.
So I have been wondering what exactly I need to do to practice justice.
But until now, God has not given a specific definition of the key word "justice", but only given seemingly unconditional support.
If you don't have mana, you get mana; if you don't have knowledge, you get knowledge; if you don't have skills, you get skills; if you don't have weapons, you get weapons. You are simply a typical sucker.
Apart from that, he didn't say anything, didn't make any requests to Li Nian, and didn't even say a word.
Since God did not give an answer, Li Nian could only find the definition of justice on his own.
But Li Nian also thought about it...
"Perhaps it is because my thoughts were seen through that I was left alone. Perhaps to God, my logical thoughts are the correct answers."
As his knowledge system became more complete, Li Nian felt that his guess was closer to the truth.
In the knowledge related to "spirit", the word "God" appears many times - it is not regarded as an omnipotent existence to be revered without reason, but a clear definition is given.
Consider them to be [spiritualities born from concepts].
According to this logic, Asuras, gods, Buddhas, demons, monsters, goblins, and monsters are of the same nature.
Being observed, being defined, and then truly evolving from a ball of "aura" into a spiritual being - at the very beginning, everything must have gone through this process.
This is also the essence of the technique.
Even that "God" might be no exception - it's just that the scale is so large that it's unimaginable.
The reason why Li Nian was asked to practice justice was perhaps because that "God" was born from the concept of "justice".
If the inferences so far are correct, then this "God" is truly a noble and great being.
So Li Nian felt that for such a great being, it probably wouldn't want to seek too much from a mere mortal like him.
Without directly explaining how to practice justice, it should really mean "it's up to you".
——Although the argument has been made seriously and the answer seems to have been reached, a guess is just a guess. It is impossible to know whether the guess is right or wrong without confirming with the "God" himself.
Li Nian has figured this out.
If you don't come and answer me, I will go to you and ask.
As God's lackey, both his power and knowledge came from God, so there must be a strong connection between him and God. Li Nian had a hunch that as long as he continued to practice, he could follow this line to find his boss who was hiding somewhere unknown, confirm the nature of his existence with his own eyes, and clarify the doubts in his heart.
Li Nian felt unexpectedly refreshed after coming to a conclusion that seemed to have nothing to do with "confusion".
In fact, "confusion" is not a big deal. When Li Nian is stuck in a writer's block, he will ponder the three philosophical questions of "Who am I", "Where am I", and "Where should I go".
But in fact, from a realistic point of view, people often do not have many choices, and the next step is very obvious.
Li Nian, who has been following the inertia all the way, does not intend to care about the illusory things like dreams and ambitions at this juncture. He has already passed that stage.
What he said to Kasumigaoka, "Being a writer is a profession without dreams," is a true statement of experience. The reason he said this is because he once devoted himself to it with a dream in his heart, but was repeatedly frustrated... But in the end, he still overcame many difficulties and persisted until his talent sprouted.
It's just that her life ended before she could take a further step and let her talents blossom and bear fruit. But even so, in her new life, Li Nian does not intend to simply discard her past achievements to pursue new dreams.
Since the confusion comes from having no direction, then just keep going in the same direction as before. This is the best solution for people who go with the flow.
"Then, the literature department of Hayao University, right? Let's go check it out when we have time."
Chapter 203: Fog in the Heart Lake
Hayao University is the university chosen by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
However, Li Nian did not expect that Xia Zhiqiu really wanted to become a writer, and even decided on the major she would study in college because of this.
For the girl who already has published works and has become an active writer at the age of high school, it seems to be a normal choice.
People who already have achievements will follow up on their achievements and choose to pursue higher career advancement - which seems to be similar to Li Nian's idea.
But Li Nian feels that this may not be the case.
It had been a while since I met this senior by coincidence. Because of Shiina's incident, and because Amaki dragged her into the club in a way that was almost unreasonable because she wanted to make games, Kasumigaoka and I were connected, even though they should have no connection... and because of her inexplicable curiosity about herself. During this time, Li Nian got quite close to this famous beauty in the third grade.
Contrary to her reputation as an ice beauty in school, this girl is not actually the cold person who keeps people at a distance. Although she seems a little lazy, she will start to talk when she is interested. Her usual conversation and expressions are calm and intellectual. However, sometimes she will show a fanatical and neurotic side. For example, when it comes to what Li Nian calls "exploration of the role", she is uncharacteristically out of touch.
It has to be said that, like Kasumigaoka who was extremely interested in herself, Li Nian also thought that this was a very interesting girl. According to the "character" that she cared about very much, Kasumigaoka Utaha herself was also a character full of contradictions. She was beautiful with excellent grades, and was known as an ice beauty. However, she was a novelist who was good at writing campus romance stories. She had such a contradictory personality. When such a person appeared in front of her, Li Nian would unconsciously glance at her twice for the purpose of exploration.
So until now, when Xia Zhiqiu thought that he had enough understanding of Li Nian, Li Nian also had his own judgment on what kind of person Xia Zhiqiu was.
Li Nian feels that behind Kasumigaoka's usual intellectual tranquility and occasional fanatical nervousness, these two seemingly contradictory sides actually conceal her extremely rich sensibility.
The reason for this speculation is that the novels she wrote personally show the author's delicate thoughts and surging emotions between the lines.
The words written unconsciously will reflect the truest side of the writer.
Therefore, although Kasumigaoka, which gives people the first impression of intellect, may actually be driven by emotions.
Speaking of the first time Li Nian and Kasumigaoka met, it was a chance encounter in a bookstore... No, to be precise, Kasumigaoka saw him clashing with the people from the Old Rat Group, and noticed that Li Nian was special, so she came to him out of curiosity. However, it turned into a discussion about the sales of the work without them noticing.
At that time, Kasumigaoka was worried about the mediocre sales of her works. It seems that Kasumigaoka, like Li Nian, has a deep understanding of the reality of the saying "writer is a profession without dreams".
Despite this, she still decided to become a writer and chose her major in college. This must have been the result of careful consideration, but the conclusion she came to after careful consideration was probably different from that of Li Nian.
It's very simple and ordinary. Maybe Kasumigaoka decided to follow her dreams and passion...
Just like what every young person would think.
But Li Nian felt that something was wrong.
As the top student in the third grade, it is no exaggeration to say that she has a bright future, but she wants to be a writer... Even if she has published works, Kasumigaoka's current results do not show her a bright future. With such a good academic ability, she does not need to gamble everything on it. The best solution is to work as a writer as a part-time job and choose a better major to ensure her future...
--wrong.
When did I start denying my dreams and passions?
Strange, Li Nian suddenly felt very strange.
Why did it become like this? Was I this kind of person before?
I always feel that after exploring my state of mind for the purpose of enlightenment, although I have successfully solved the obstacle of "confusion", a new sense of incongruity suddenly arises, making me even more irritated.
After a little thought, Li Nian closed his eyes and went into deep meditation, visualizing his own state of mind.
It was the frozen lake that I had seen too many times.
