"You want to change the story?" Ren asked with a frown.

"Change the story? No!" Ueigusa, who was still a little dazed, immediately grasped the key point and shouted decisively: "Don't change what I want to use!"

Ren didn't lose his composure as much as Kamiigusa, but he was still very confused: "Why did they change it? Such a touching story is poorly written in the eyes of the editor?"

"It's not that bad, I just feel it's not good enough... Rather than thinking there's something wrong with the story itself, it's more like I've been given higher expectations. I'm being asked to re-frame it, rewrite the settings, and re-arrange the plot in order to write a long novel. There's no doubt that I'll further expand the scope, add new characters, new settings, and new plots."

"This... is indeed very troublesome." Ren fell into deep thought.

“No, no, no, no!” Uegusa shook his head stubbornly: “If we change it like this, everything will have to be changed! All our efforts so far will be…”

"Misaki."

Ren stopped Shang Jinggusa's action and looked at Li Nian seriously.

“Can it be improved?”

"can."

Li Nian's answer was straightforward, without any ambiguous words. If this requirement cannot be met, then what is the point of change?

"Then I'll wait."

Chapter 223 Final Review

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

The way of man is not to lose enough but to give more than enough.

It seemed as if Li Nian muttered something unconsciously, which attracted a strange look from Wu Geng next to him.

"…What did you say?"

"Ah?" Li Nian just noticed her, glanced over, then looked away without interest, continuing to concentrate on reading the book in his hand, and casually said, "Nothing, just two sentences in the book."

Because it seemed to be in Chinese, I couldn't quite understand it, but I felt that the way this guy read it out had some rhyme and some coolness. Wu Geng was actually a little concerned about it. Then he looked at the book in Li Nian's hand that he was concentrating on reading, and there was no special feature at all - it was even in a black package without a title.

It was so suspicious that Wu Geng curiously leaned over to take a peek, but when he was about to see it, Li Nian, who was not even looking at him, noticed it and immediately put the book away.

"Don't peek at the books that high school boys are reading, okay little sister? If it's a pornographic book, it will hurt your eyes, right?"

"Do you want to hurt my eyes to that extent?" Wu Geng smiled disdainfully, and immediately understood that this guy would not let him see the contents of the book. He muttered, "Stingy, if you don't want to read it, then don't read it." He retracted his head, but still couldn't help but glanced at him from the side out of curiosity. Obviously, he was not fooled by Li Nian's dirty talk. He already had some guesses about the book that this exorcist had been concentrating on reading for the whole morning, and therefore he was very concerned.

Wu Geng brought up the topic again with sarcasm.

"You're not asleep today, which is rare. What's the matter? Did you restrain yourself from taking a shower all night?"

Li Nian rolled his eyes and sneered, "What a joke! A man like me who can hold his gun firmly in place can really stay strong all night long, okay?"

Kato, who was lying on the table next to him, seemed to be taking a nap, but his red ears made it clear that he was just pretending not to hear the conversation between the two. He did not have the courage to interrupt the conversation when the two guys were talking dirty to each other.

As for Totsuka Ayaka, who was standing at the back with her head tilted and a confused look on her face, she was so innocent that she didn't even hear the hints in the words of the two old drivers.

However, Li Nian also realized that it was a bit inappropriate to drive openly at the moment, so he coughed lightly to remind Wu Geng to stop and simply satisfied Wu Geng's curiosity.

"The meaning of the previous two sentences is..."

I translated what I said before into Japanese.

"What? That's so cool, okay?!" Wu Geng's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned around to find paper and pen to write down these two sentences.

When we mention heaven and earth, we always have a lofty impression, as if they contain profound truths, and they seem inexplicably high-end, atmospheric and classy, ​​which seems to easily touch the desire of the second year disease.

"Yes, it's very handsome, very handsome." Li Nian responded casually while turning to the next page of the book.

Wu Geng suddenly became serious, put one hand on his waist, stretched the other hand to the side of his face, made an inexplicable pose, and spoke in a deep tone.

"I am the one who follows the way of heaven and controls everything!"

"Yes, it's very handsome. Very handsome."

"Tsk, what a foolish man." He wanted to exchange some cool lines from his notebook with this guy, but he was still perfunctorily treated. Wu Geng couldn't help but curl his lips and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You are talking nonsense. What happened to your brain today?"

Li Nian sighed, feeling annoyed. He knew that this guy would not stop if he didn't explain, so he said impatiently, "Just change the way you study."

"I actually heard the word 'study' from the mouth of a guy who always falls asleep during class?"

"So if I say it's cultivation, do you understand?"

"..." These words seemed to confirm Wu Geng's guess. She really understood. She looked at the book in Li Nian's hand in surprise, her eyes shining. This time, she was really curious: "So, then, that book is..."

Li Nian said with a joking look on his face.

"Yes, this is a secret manual handed down from generation to generation. If you learn it, you can punch Shura gods and Buddhas and kick demons and monsters. How about I sell it to you for 500 yuan?"

Wu Geng swallowed his saliva, his middle school heart stirring: "Well, then, it's okay to let me take a look..."

"Ah, it's okay."

Li Nian simply handed the book over and placed it within the girl's reach. Wu Geng, who couldn't resist the temptation, actually muttered some meaningless words like "The door to the inner world is opening to me, and the fallen angel is standing in front of the God's gate waving..." and reached out his hand.

"I just can't guarantee that your brain won't explode after watching it."

Li Nian's added words scared Wu Geng so much that he retracted his hand like lightning, turned his head hurriedly and waved his hands violently, as if he was trying to avoid her, and screamed, "Ah! Don't come over, don't come over! I don't want to watch it anymore!" It seems that he understands the setting that "casual viewing of taboo knowledge will damage the brain".

"What are you two playing at?"

An Yi, who appeared nearby at some point, witnessed this scene.

"Nothing to play."

Li Nian took back the book and threw it into the desk - in fact, through this action, he dematerialized the book. In a place where Gogen and An Yi could not see, the book lost its shape.

Wu Geng’s guess was correct. This book, wrapped in a plain black cover, was the embodiment of “information” and indeed recorded things on the “other side of the world”.

Li Nian wanted to change the direction of his study in order to resolve the fog in his state of mind. To do this, he wanted to get in touch with other kinds of mental methods. With this in mind, he used the system to search and, as usual, he got the corresponding feedback smoothly - moreover, the gains he got could even be said to be unexpectedly profound.

To be specific, the search results obtained are no longer just at the level of "basic mental method", but "the complete state of mind of a certain powerful person".

In the beginning, I was unable to comprehend the heaviness of this feeling, and I directly received the relevant information through meditation as usual. Then, for the first time in a long time, I experienced a person’s life in an empathetic way.

The flood of information made Li Nian experience the pain of his brain exploding again. More serious than this pain was the mental shock. It was different from the "life of a teenager" he received when his soul first crossed over. That was a much deeper and longer life, and there was a strong and tenacious will built on it, which resonated with the person's state of mind. When his thoughts and feelings reappeared in his brain, it was simply a direct blow to the soul.

Li Nian cut off the connection and stopped the transmission without hesitation. After learning this lesson, he chose to materialize the relevant information into a book and take it to the outside world for digestion through reading.

The point of all this trouble is just to find a third-party perspective.

Watching the life of a powerful person from an unknown world from a third-party perspective, although the purpose is to understand his mental journey, but also to see his magnificent life, let alone really a bit of novel-like excitement...

Even so, it's not something a girl can read. Just because it's in the form of a book doesn't mean it only contains textual information. If you just read it casually, your brain might explode, so it's better not to let her read it.

"what's up?"

When Li Nian asked this, An Yi smiled proudly.

"My great project has been completed again and again--"

"I think so too."

An Yi suppressed her smile, changed from her usual liveliness, and spoke in an unusually calm tone.

"So, I would like to invite everyone to gather in the activity room for one last time after school."

Gogen and Kato looked at each other, and finally looked at Li Nian. After a moment of silence, he shrugged.

"It may not be the end, but it may be the beginning?"

An Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled again.

"Ah! We must take this opportunity to start!"

"Then you have to work harder."

"Then you have to let the water go."

"I didn't release enough water?"

"...That's true." An Yi scratched his head awkwardly: "But it doesn't matter! This time I'm confident!"

Looking at the dark circle around the confident An Yi's eyes, Li Nian sincerely hoped that the facts were just as he said, and that he could hand in a satisfactory plan this time.

"hope so."

And just like that, the final review of the game project proposed by Aki began.

Chapter 224: A Plan That Seems to Have No Special Features

An Yi informed everyone and received positive responses, so after school, everyone gathered in the activity room as agreed.

Compared to the last time I came here, new furniture has been added, including a coffee table and a sofa. I have to say that this space is becoming more and more comfortable.

"Ahh~, really, my life is going to be wasted again! Just shoot Ren and put an end to this mess."

"Don't pour cold water on me at this critical moment, you vicious woman! And now is the great moment when the results are about to be announced, how can you lie on the sofa and rot in this posture?"

"It has nothing to do with me anyway, right?"

Sawamura was lying on the sofa in a lazy posture, playing with his mobile phone, looking bored.

But Li Nian noticed that Sawamura, who said this, seemed to be the first one to arrive. He was playing with his mobile phone, but his eyes were drifting towards this side restlessly, and he seemed to care about the result.

Kasumigaoka took the tea that Kato had brewed, took a sip leisurely, and then said calmly, "Then without further ado, please let me and classmate Li Nian over there take a look at the final plan that you, Ayi, have given us."

"Yes!"

An Yi's whole body was tense, and he handed copies of the plan to everyone in a serious manner.

A copy was also gently placed next to Sawamura who was lying on the sofa. Sawamura sat up from the sofa as if he didn't want to bother with it, picked up a copy and started reading.

"Oh, more than one, you mean there is more than one plan?"

Wu Geng flipped through the documents in his hand and was a little surprised.

"Yes, I have prepared several records."

“Is it really good to not focus on just one?”

“…I put my heart and soul into each one of them.”

"Huh, is that so?" Wu Geng laughed sarcastically, thinking that this was just an opportunistic attempt to try his luck.

But Li Nian and Xia Zhiqiu picked up the documents in front of them and started reading without saying anything.

Kato also took a copy and sat beside him and opened it silently.

Tens of minutes later.

The first one to finish reading and put down the project plan was Gogen. She looked bored and whispered, "What? You boasted so much before, but in the end, it felt like there was nothing special about it."

Then Li Nian and Xia Zhiqiu finished reading almost at the same time, put down the documents, and looked at each other.

Li Nian asked, "How do you feel, senior sister?"

"It's quite plain and conventional." Kasumigaoka replied, "Every one of them looks familiar... No, it should be said that they are obviously written with reference to those games."

Yes, as Kasumigaoka said, this is the essence of these projects.

The story is set in a modern college and is told from the perspective of a newly enrolled first-year boy. During his college life, he gets to know various girls due to various events and gradually gets to know them. While narrowing the distance and cultivating feelings, his life extends in different directions.

Set in a fictional alien world where the devil is resurrected and darkness is brewing, the story tells about a time traveler who meets all kinds of people from the moment he arrives, gradually gets to know this world, overcomes difficulties during his adventure, and ultimately defeats the devil and saves the world.

Set in ancient Japan, the story tells how a samurai protects his master as he begins to wander after his family is destroyed. During the journey, he meets all kinds of people and gains their friendship by helping them with good intentions. He gathers them together and gradually builds up his own power again until he finally defeats the enemy who destroyed the family.

……

As Kasumigaoka said, these are projects that are nothing special and seem pretty standard.

There is nothing particularly outstanding about the setting. There is no part that makes people clap their legs or exclaim in admiration. Therefore, it seems simple, bland and mediocre.

"What was Amaki-san thinking? Writing a plan like this."

An Yi's expression was a little gloomy. It seemed that the senior sister Kasumigaoka said that she was not satisfied with the plan - but this result was within his expectations. When asked this by Kasumigaoka, he took a deep breath and answered calmly.

"At the beginning, I also felt that I had to come up with something special and different, so at that time, my mind was a little out of control, thinking about what is special, what can attract people's attention at once... I kept thinking, and my thoughts started to become a little curious."

"I understand this. When you want to come up with something special, you will go in the direction of novelty." Wu Geng nodded in agreement.

"You are self-aware? And you want to say that the things you wrote before were the result of restraint?" Li Nian glanced at her in surprise.

"Of course! I've restrained myself... right..." Gogen looked away guiltily.

"Then when I felt disgusted by my own thoughts, I realized that I had never craved for any special elements." An Yi said seriously: "I'm not bragging, I'm a positive and broad-minded otaku! No matter what kind of work it is, as long as it is interesting, I can accept it. It's better to say that the orthodox and simple development is exactly my cup of tea. I enjoy the expected happiness brought by the expected development. In short, I don't hate orthodox works, so the plans I write are all the types I like."
