"Five?"
Thinking of this, Li Nian suddenly spoke.
"..."
"Hello, are you online? If you're online, just give me a call."
"…What are you doing? Are you busy? Can't you see that I'm having a lot of thoughts right now? Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
"Then you are great."
"I don't have time to argue with you now. If you have something to say, please say it. If not, get lost."
"Something's going on... I mean, I think you can start writing now."
"..."
Wu Geng stopped writing and finally looked up at Li Nian.
Li Nian continued.
"You've been writing that outline for a long time, and I know you haven't started writing yet."
"...No, what can you see?"
"I want to ask you why you think I can't see anything. Your timid and wavering expression is often written on your face. You can tell at a glance that it is Kevin's constipated expression."
"Don't say it's constipation!"
"And what about Calvin?"
"……is a bit."
"How much is a little?"
“…Not a single word was moved.”
"Oh! It showed up. Gugu, he said he was doing it but he wasn't actually doing it!"
“I can write!”
"Then, let's get started now, immediately."
"But, the preliminary preparations are still..." Wu Geng's expression was still a little hesitant, his eyes wandering between the paper he was writing on, Li Nian, and the Kasumi Hill over there.
Is this really what you think, the reason why you haven't taken any action yet?
Li Nian sighed softly.
"Although I have shown you the importance of early planning today, and it is great that you can learn something from it, the most important thing is the text. Thinking about writing a perfect work and investing too much in early planning is actually not a good idea."
“…You wrote a lot of stuff yourself?”
"It's not a lot to say, and I don't plan to finish the outline completely. After a slight revision, the main plot is confirmed, and then I will immediately start revising the first volume - well, it's actually equivalent to rewriting it."
"…Why don't you finish the outline completely?"
"That's not necessary. I used to be the type who wrote whatever came to my mind." Li Nian smiled nostalgically, "Although it's true that I often got carried away because of that."
"It ended up like this?" Wu Geng sneered in disbelief.
"I can't help it. After becoming smarter, careful thinking has become as instinctive as eating and drinking. I was happier when I could let myself go. Now that I think about it, being a top student is not all good... Well, I'm writing an outline carefully now, and I agree with its importance. I'm not telling you not to think about it, but to tell you not to think too much."
"If the author doesn't think too much about it, then it's all over." Wu Geng didn't quite agree.
"Even so, putting the cart before the horse is not worth the loss. You thought too much before, and the setting collection you wrote was thicker than the book. It really broadened my horizons. That really needs to be revised... Come to think of it, I didn't see you falling behind in the progress of the main text at that time and being reluctant to start writing? Wasn't the outline of your current book almost completed before? As for the story you are going to write, it is not a long novel like mine, right? How much do you need to revise before you start writing?"
"...That's until you're satisfied, of course."
"But it won't be a problem to think while writing. I plan to do that. I don't think it's necessary to finish the outline so quickly. The only thing I can write in the short term is the first volume. There is still a long time to go. Every flash of inspiration here, when integrated into the outline, will enhance the look and feel of the book. Don't you think so?"
“That’s just because you have deadline pressure…”
Even Li Nian was annoyed by Wu Geng's awkwardness and simply interrupted her.
"How many excuses do you have to make, Miss Gogen?"
"..."
"Let me be frank. It's not realistic to think that you can catch up with me and Kasumigaoka with just an outline."
"......!" Wu Geng's eyes widened, then he dodged and shook his head gently, saying, "I... am not such an ignorant person."
"I think so. I'm just saying that you feel pressure from us."
"..." Wu Geng did not refute this time.
Li Nian knows that the excessive pursuit of perfection is sometimes not obsessive-compulsive disorder, but a manifestation of lack of self-confidence.
He also knew that this arrogant and sharp-tongued guy became like this because of his and Kasumigaoka's existence.
The reason I’m bringing this up now is because I feel that if I let the child continue to keep it to myself, it will breed into a big problem. After all, I’m already somewhat stuck in my progress because of it.
"We are several levels ahead of you. It's unrealistic to expect to make the leap in one go."
It's good to have ambition, but it's foolish to look too high and ignore what's right under your feet.
"Are other people's achievements impressive? They are, but they don't mean anything to you. They are just fireworks. Just watch them. It's normal to be envious, but what about being scared and timid? That can't be considered turning pressure into motivation." Li Nian continued, "Since you can't achieve it right away, just throw away unnecessary thoughts. Just look at us and absorb the useful things and use them for yourself, and then do your own things steadily."
"...How dare you say such condescending words."
"Who told me that I'm a semi-professional who's about to publish a book and you're not? If you don't agree, just write a hit book quickly?" Li Nian teased, "Oh, you mean this book is going to be serialized on the web, then I'll wait until you get over 100 million hits before you come and criticize me."
He must have listened to these words.
After a long silence, I don't know what he was thinking. Finally, to change his mood, Wuchang took a breath and said, "I know. Now, right now, I will start writing the main article - and then, post it online. Wait, I am well prepared this time and I am full of confidence. In two days, it will exceed 100 million and slap you in the face."
"No, two days is enough..."
"I'm going back."
Before Li Nian had time to complain, Wu Geng had already hurriedly said hello to everyone, packed up his schoolbag and left. He slammed the door when he left, scaring everyone.
An Yi, who was confused, looked helpless and approached Li Nian with everyone's doubts, and asked, "How did you offend Wu Geng again?"
"Hmph..." Li Nian smiled and took a sip of tea: "It's not like that. Instead, it just helped her recover her normal vitality."
"Is that to recover your energy? You are clearly furious, okay? Do you think I am blind?"
"Isn't she usually like this, always showing anger as if she doesn't like someone?"
“…That’s not wrong.”
The trick of provoking someone always works, and in a sense this girl is easy to deal with.
Li Nian waved her hand to signal An Yi to go away.
"Okay, okay, let's go back. I have to work hard too."
After all, he just spoke big words from a superior position. If he doesn't produce good results and ends up failing, how can he have the nerve to criticize this weakling?
Thinking of this, Li Nian sent An Yi away and returned to his work, quickly entering a state of concentration.
……
……
The next day, Li Nian arrived at school early in the morning and met Mr. Hiratsuka in the corridor.
"Good morning, Hiratsuka-sensei."
"Oh, good morning."
The office that Mr. Hiratsuka was going to was in another direction, so after saying hello, Li Nian walked past first.
"Wait, let me ask you."
As a result, he was called and turned around, he saw Mr. Hiratsuka with a strange expression on his face and asked.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
"...?"
Being asked such a confusing question, Li Nian could only show a confused expression. Seeing him like that, Mr. Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment, then, as if confirming his answer, he shook his head in disappointment.
"No, it's nothing. It seems to have nothing to do with you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Everyone will know about it soon. Then you will know it naturally."
His white coat fluttered, and he turned around and waved his hand gracefully, then left, leaving Li Nian standing there with a head full of questions.
It was not until the end of the first class that Hube Xiang, who had gone out and hurriedly ran back to the classroom, shouted at the top of his voice and brought a piece of news.
"This is incredible! This is incredible! Guess what!"
"What's the matter, Ministry of Household Affairs? Are you making a fuss again?" Ye Shan said with a smile.
"This time it's really incredible!"
"What? Tell me now."
"A first-year student suddenly transferred to our school!" Tobe Sho pointed outside with an excited look on his face: "That [child prodigy]! Dalianji Suzuka!"
Chapter 242: The Arrival of Suzuka from Dalian Temple
Suddenly there was an uproar.
"That [child prodigy]? A transfer student? Hey, come up with a joke that people can accept." A boy in Miura and Hayama's group still didn't believe it and shook his head with a smile.
"It's true! If you don't believe me, just go and see for yourself in the corridor! I'm being interviewed right at the main entrance!"
Seeing that Tobe's anxious expression did not seem fake, Miura and others were also surprised, "Is it true?!" Yuigahama rushed out first while shouting. Led by her, other people in the class also gradually walked out of the classroom to see if what Tobe said was true.
When Wu Geng heard the news, he first looked at Li Nian.
When this person heard the news, he was also suddenly shocked, then frowned, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
"Go and take a look?" Wu Geng asked tentatively. Li Nian suddenly came back to his senses, nodded, stood up, and walked out. Wu Geng followed behind.
When they arrived at the corridor, a bunch of people had already come out, leaning against the windows and looking forward. Li Nian also came to the window. As expected, from here she could see that a bunch of off-campus people who looked like journalists and media were gathered at the main entrance with cameras and microphones, surrounding a young girl like stars surrounding the moon.
"Really, really! It's a Child Prodigy! A living Child Prodigy!"
As Yuigahama cried out in surprise and joy, Li Nian also used her amazing eyesight to see the face of that person more clearly than anyone else. She had curly blonde twin ponytails, a petite body, gorgeous makeup, and a sweet smile that exuded the aura of a star. She was wearing the school uniform of Sobu High School and a tie on her chest that symbolized her status as a first-year student. She smiled sweetly and gracefully in front of the media reporters and handled the adults' questions with ease. Who else could it be but Dalianji Suzuka?
The news brought by the Ministry of Revenue was confirmed.
Speaking of the name "child prodigy", it is a household name. When mentioning the word "exorcist", the first name that comes to most people's mind is probably that name. The reason is that she is a prominent figure promoted by the Onmyoji Bureau and often appears on TV and magazines. She deserves this treatment. The girl who became a national first-class exorcist at the youngest age in history has both a lovely face and strong strength. She herself has the qualifications to attract topics. Genius + beauty + girl is also an exorcist. Who would not be curious about such a person?
Now, such a Dalian Temple appeared in her own school, seen by almost everyone, and wearing her own school uniform, the commotion naturally spread to every corner, everyone was excitedly discussing her appearance, and a carnival-like atmosphere suddenly enveloped everyone on every floor.
Having said that, Li Nian was not overwhelmed by the atmosphere. He had just met Dalianji in his work as an exorcist, and knew that she was sent here to monitor any movements around the Nura Clan. So her transfer was not that sudden in Li Nian's opinion... Although he said that, he was still a little scared.
"…You knew that a long time ago?"
Amidst the discussion about why a child prodigy appeared in this school, Wu Geng looked at Li Nian and asked this question.
I remembered that I was asked the same question by Mr. Hiratsuka this morning. Now I understood why he asked that question. As a teacher, Mr. Hiratsuka should have known the news that Dalian Temple was going to transfer here earlier. That person is an exorcist, and his identity as a national-level exorcist is well known to everyone. It is not surprising that he would think that Li Nian, who is also an exorcist, knows something.
"I just found out about this now...but if you think about it, I should have discovered it a long time ago."
Li Nian then remembered that when Dalian Temple Suzuka met Nura Rikuo, there was a hidden meaning in the conversation. She called the latter "senior" and said that they would meet again soon. And now, they met again at Sobu High School. Looking at her school uniform, it seemed that she had really transferred to the first grade. So did she mean to call him senior?
Did Nura Rikuo deliberately not tell me?
Anyway, let me say hello first.
Thinking of this, Li Nian's body trembled, and he released a little bit of the domineering aura - in fact, it was just a slight fluctuation of spiritual power.
The child prodigy over there quickly sensed it and looked in this direction. After looking at Li Nian from a considerable distance, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved.
This action immediately caused a commotion.
——"Waving! [Prodigy] is waving towards us!"
——"Is it weird that my wife waved at me? What a fuss."
——"You want to eat peaches? Or are you still sleepy? Come here with a yellow urine and wake him up!"
——"He is greeting us classmates. He is really a humble and friendly person..."
Hearing the discussions around him, he could understand how dazzling the "child prodigy" was in the hearts of the people.
Ah, as an idol, this is how I look in front of others...
