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

This is not a big mistake because of the key title of the book.

"What's wrong with that?!" Wu Geng was very unconvinced: "Or do you think a book title like "About the Super Invincible Me Who Killed Everyone in Another World and Met a Lot of Pretty Girls and Built a Huge Crystal Palace" is better?"

"I really think that simple and clear book titles are better."

"……shallow."

"It's quite superficial. I'm just giving an example. A good book title should be either easy to understand like your example, full of gimmicks, and able to directly state the main content of the book and attract the audience's attention. Or it should be profound and meaningful, and be able to echo the content of the book well, so that readers can feel the theme after reading it and further have endless aftertaste. It's better if both are achieved... You are the one who didn't achieve either. Anyway, I don't understand these four words in your book title. Which aspect attracts the eye, which aspect reflects the content, and which aspect is full of meaning. Come on, look me in the eye and tell me loudly that you really don't just think the name is cool and refuse to change it."

"..." Wu Geng did not dare to look Li Nian in the eye. He knew that he could not win the argument with Li Nian, so he could only reluctantly delete the title "Crymonster" and replace it with "About the Story of Me, a Brave Man, Picking Up the Demon King", a much more normal title.

"Is this okay?" It seems that he had thought about changing it before. It was obviously one of the candidates for the book title.

Li Nian thought for a moment and said, "Add [about to die] to indicate the state of the demon king. Oh, yes, and point out the gender to indicate that it is a female demon king."

Wu Geng looked at him and accepted his suggestion. He typed out a signature as requested, and then the title of the book became: "About a Brave Man Who Picked Up a Dying Female Demon King". After finishing typing according to Li Nian's request, Wu Geng stared at the title for a while, figured out the trick, and nodded in sudden realization.

"…Is this inciting the male readers' romantic psychology?"

"...can't you just step back and realize that these elements are just fanning their sympathies and **?"

"I think both of your ideas are quite extreme." An Yi, who had come to the back at some point, complained in a daze.

He was just curious about the progress of the two people, so he sneaked over, but ended up seeing this scene.

"Oh, An Yi, you came at the right time. What do you think of the title of this book?" Li Nian asked.

"It's worthwhile for the otaku representative to express his opinion. What did you think when you saw the title of this book, Amaki?"

"…If I hadn't heard the scheming conversation between the two, I would have found it very graphic. Whether it was the fixed conflict between the two elements, the hero and the demon king, or the concern for the cute girl who was injured and dying, I would have wanted to click in and take a look."

"…By the way, my previous book was titled "Crymonster"" Wugeng still didn't give up.

"Of course this one is better!" An Yi said without hesitation, frowning: "I stay away from those kinds of book titles that have unclear meanings."

"…There are too many people who don't know the value of the book." Wu Geng became depressed again, but soon regained his spirits and continued the process of creating a new book.

After finally getting Wu to change the title of the book, Li Nian no longer dared to believe that Wu didn't need his help to review it. He temporarily stopped what he was doing and watched her write the introduction together with the curious An Yi.

There is nothing wrong with the introduction. It simply explains the beginning of the story and leaves some suspense.

Then it was time for the last step, uploading the chapters. Wu Geng had already written the first chapter, and had obviously entered it into the document, so he could publish the book now. But before uploading the chapters, Wu Geng suddenly reiterated, "I will write the rest of the main text myself, and I won't give you any room to point fingers at me. Even if I write it badly, get scolded, lose in the essay contest, fall to the bottom, or even receive someone's contemptuous name... I must complete it myself."

An Yi still didn't quite understand, and said blankly: "Why? Let Li Nian and Kasumigaoka help look at it and revise it all the time, wouldn't it be better?"

"Only giant babies need this kind of help." The content of the first chapter has been revised many times. Wu Geng confirmed that there was no problem with the layout. She clicked the upload button. After a short pause, a prompt popped up saying "New book created successfully". She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had accomplished something big. Then she went back to the book page to see the actual web page reading effect while continuing to answer An Yi: "Maybe with the help of those two people, I can write a good work more easily - but as a result, I won't grow much myself. In order to become an independent writer one day in the future, I must learn to complete the title, introduction, main text... everything by my own ability without any help from anyone to achieve results."

"Oh...oh...that's true."

Feeling the determination hidden in the girl's calm words, An Yi was a little stunned.

After reading the chapter once on the website, Wu Geng went to the comment section again. He refreshed the page without any hope and found that there was already a comment.

——"It seems interesting. I'll chase it."

This short sentence made Wu Geng stunned for a moment, and then he revealed a rare, pure and happy smile.

Li Nian looked at the profile, smiled lightly, said nothing, and immediately retracted his gaze, his curiosity also suppressed, and continued to write his own things.

At this point he had already written about the devil falling into the human world, hiding his identity and blending into it. For the first time he saw the opposing world and what the human world was like. He couldn't help but sigh.

——"No matter which world, all living beings are living with all their might, and the value of life is enriched by this. Because of this, it is wrong to destroy such valuable things with senseless violence and to waste so many lives in meaningless acts such as war... Yes, it is precisely to correct this mistake that I choose to be the enemy of God."

Chapter 264: Aki's Promise to the Three Members of the Service Club

After uploading the new book, Wu Geng still had other things to do. She also had to input the manuscript she wrote today, and she also planned to use this time to continue writing some of the main text.

This person seemed to have quickly entered the working state and started to do various things. His expression gradually became more focused as he looked at the computer screen.

An Yi looked at the classmate with gentle eyes and whispered: "Wu Geng, you are also working hard on your own path. I really hope that your efforts will be rewarded and that you will become an excellent author like those two one day."

"Sorry An Yi, I have some new ideas and need to concentrate on writing, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Li Nian suddenly said this, and An Yi looked at him again. After he said this, Li Nian had fallen silent. But at this moment, he suddenly stopped typing on the keyboard quickly, but held his chin and seemed to be lost in thought.

Li Nian just suddenly thought of some new ideas, and then he thought of more things. He planned to further integrate them into the story, so he needed to revise the outline, add some plots to the main text of the first volume he was writing, and make some minor changes. Of course, these contents needed to be thought out now, so he paused.

Writing is like this. In fact, it does not proceed completely strictly along the established route of the outline. Sometimes I will suddenly think of some good ideas, not only when my brain is working fast while writing, but also in my leisure time, or even in a tense battle. It is said that human beings will think of all kinds of things as long as their brains are working. Writers, especially those who think too much, always have to more or less break the original plan if they plan to incorporate these fleeting good ideas into the story.

These changes may just be minor additions, deletions, or they may require a complete overthrow and starting over again - so the outline is really just a reference. Before the book is written and published, nothing can be considered finalized. In the long time required to write a complete novel, similar things will only happen more often.

But objectively speaking, having too many ideas is not necessarily a good thing. Any changes to the story will have ripple effects. Serious publishing is not as easy and casual as the online writing in the past. Instead, it has much stricter restrictions on content and length. After all, it is to be published as a book and sold one by one, with a fixed pricing range and thickness, so it is published in volumes, and limited content must be presented in a limited space, which requires more careful arrangement.

Therefore, it is not a simple matter to add or change some content. If he could be distracted to chat with others while typing quickly before, it was all because the first draft of the first volume had already been formed in his mind and he had no intention of making any changes. But now, because of these sudden changes, the text in his mind needs to be reconsidered. For this, Li Nian has to concentrate. This time, he is really focused on the deduction of the plot and fell into deep thought. He has no time to chat with others.

An Yi smiled knowingly. Of course, she would not feel neglected because of such a small matter. Instead, she was happy that her friend could have new inspiration. She knew that it was Li Nian who would make those sudden flashes of inspiration complement the characters, make those souls more vivid, and further improve the quality of the whole story. She was looking forward to it even more.

"Then I won't disturb you two." An Yi said softly, put down the refills of tea for the two of them, and tiptoed back to Yuigahama to sit down.

"Oh, the two of you over there are getting serious..." Yuigahama looked at Li Nian and Gogen, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. She seemed to be quite emotional: "It feels really cool to see them doing something so focused like that."

"Yeah, you haven't seen it often. You can't see it from those frivolous guys around you, right? After all, they are just playboys whose minds are full of fun and they don't know what hard work is." Hikigaya said with a sneer.

"Xiaoqi said something so mean again." Yuigahama pouted in dissatisfaction: "Don't be fooled by everyone's smiling faces. In fact, they are all working hard behind the scenes."

"Huh? I can't tell at all. Then tell me, what exactly did you do in what direction?"

"This, this..."

Yuigahama's eyes wandered, and she really couldn't come up with any example for a moment.

"You can't tell, right? After all, when it comes to Tobe and Otsuka, I haven't heard of any special talents, and I don't think their grades are that good, which means they're not even that good at school." Hikigaya was also staring at the two people. "They don't do much work on a regular basis, so how can they compare with people who focus on something for a long time?"

In fact, not just now, Hikigaya usually observes Li Nian's situation in class. Unlike Yuigahama, he is not unfamiliar with the focused looks of those two people.

They are people who have a clear direction and make real efforts for it. They are different from ordinary students who just play all day and passively balance their studies. They all sacrifice a lot of their time and energy on something and live a fulfilling life in another sense... Hikigaya actually hates those boys and girls around him who have a frivolous atmosphere. They live idle every day under the banner of praising youth and want to appear superior to others. Therefore, he does not dislike them. On the contrary, he appreciates people like Li Nian and Gogen who are doing their own things steadily. Like Yuigahama, he also thinks that they are very handsome when they are concentrating on their work.

"If you say that, Xiaoqi, then I am the kind of person who only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun..." Yuigahama was a little hurt, with her eyes drooping, and she muttered in dissatisfaction, "That's all misunderstanding. In order to maintain interpersonal relationships, we have to consider this and that. In fact, it's not as easy as you say, Xiaoqi. Everyone has their own difficulties..."

"Yeah, so I usually feel tired when I see you guys observing each other's expressions and communicating carefully. If I have to become like you to become a popular person, then I might as well be alone like this."

"Xiaoqi, why are you always like this..."

"That person over there, even if you want to make it sound great that you're alone, you can't hide the fact that the reason you're alone is that you're rotten to the core, right?" Yukinoshita said coldly without raising her head as she looked at Li reading the manuscript, "So I don't understand where you get the confidence to think you're qualified to comment on Yuigahama-san's interpersonal relationships."

"Nah, nagging! Aren't you also a lonely guy? Do you have the qualifications to comment on this matter?"

"So which ear did you use to listen to my comments? It is precisely because you know yourself that you didn't say anything."

"..."

"You haven't denied that you're lonely..." Kato asked in disbelief, "Does someone like Yukinoshita have no friends?"

Hikigaya became depressed and muttered, "You have no doubt that I'm a lonely person with no friends, hehe, hehe..."

"Hey, Kato, isn't that a bit too direct..." An Yi reminded Kato speechlessly.

"Ah, sorry... I just thought, how could someone like Yukinoshita-san not have any friends?"

"Hey, why did you say that a second time..." Feeling a little embarrassed by the kid's nonchalant finishing move, An Yi had already seen Yukinoshita raise her head from the manuscript and look at him unhappily.

As if wanting to refute the statement “I don’t have any friends,” Yukinoshita thought for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, if I want to say that I have no friends, I must first start with the definition of the word 'friend'..."

"Hi! Stop! That's the typical line someone with no friends would say." Hikigaya smiled darkly, "A truly noble person should face up to his own shortcomings. How about just honestly admitting that he has no friends?"

"...Well, I don't have any friends." Yukinoshita admitted unhappily.

After successfully dragging the other party down to his level, Hikigaya sneered without hesitation: "See, we are both lonely people, and you have the nerve to mock me for being rotten?"

"I would really feel uncomfortable if I were considered as someone of your level."

"Each each other."

Kato tilted his head and looked at the two people who kept mocking each other, then looked at Wu Geng and Li Nian over there, and suddenly realized something as if he had confirmed it, and clapped his hands.

"So Yukinoshita-san and Hikigaya-san are friends, right?"

""impossible!""

"What are you talking about, Kato-san?" Yukinoshita frowned. "I seriously ask you to retract your words. Being considered a friend of this guy is an insult to my character."

"I would rather die than be friends with this stinky woman." Hikigaya shook his head like a rattle: "You have never understood how bad this girl's nature is like I do, so you have such a stupid misunderstanding."

"Okay, okay." Yuigahama smiled and pulled the two people on the left and right: "Friends should get along well with each other."

""……snort""

Hikigaya and Yukinoshita looked at each other, snorted coldly and looked away, but did not argue anymore.

“No…can you stop grabbing me? Uh, you’re almost touching me…”

"Yuigahama-san... it's a bit uncomfortable when you're so close to me..."

"Hehehe." Yuigahama just kept grinning and refused to let go of the two.

"Maybe what you said, Kato, is right..." An Yi raised his eyebrows and watched the scene.

Suddenly he remembered his promise to Mr. Hiratsuka, and turned to look at Li Nian and Gogen who were working hard over there. He thought that the main players in this club, including Eriri and Senior Kasumigaoka, all had their own things to do in the short term, but he himself was actually quite free, so he mentioned it to these people in the Service Club.

"Yes, I told you before, Yuigahama, that I promised Mr. Hiratsuka to help you with the Service Club, right?"

"…Yeah, what's the matter? Why do you bring it up suddenly?" Yuigahama asked in confusion.

"Everyone else in our club has been very busy lately, and I'm the only one who has nothing to do... So, if you need any help, feel free to ask me."

"To help..."

Yuigahama thought about it, then shrugged and said with a smile: "Actually, there's nothing I can help you with..."

"Hey, hey, wait a minute." Hikigaya was very dissatisfied with her behavior of pushing away such a laborer who came to her door: "I need it, of course I need it! How can you push away so easily someone who can take the initiative to help me and provide me with an opportunity to slack off? Are you an idiot, Yuigahama?"

"You are the idiot, aren't you? You've exposed your true feelings and you don't even realize it?" Yukinoshita shook her head and said to Amaki, "But I did hear from Mr. Hiratsuka that you agreed to this matter. It seems that it was an additional condition for you to establish this club and invite her as an advisor. In this case, Amaki, you do have the responsibility to fulfill your obligations... So when necessary, I will use you mercilessly."

"Come on!" An Yi patted his chest confidently: "I don't have any other advantages, but I am full of enthusiasm and worth praising!"

"That's true." Hikigaya nodded in agreement. "After all, it was when I was in first grade that I went to the teachers' office to fight for permission from the Dean of Academic Affairs in order to play anime at the school celebration, and even alerted the principal..."

At that time, An Yi's behavior caused a sensation in the whole school, and people in every grade knew that there was such an active otaku who caused such a thing.

"Oh, right." Hikigaya suddenly remembered something and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of the school anniversary, it seems to be coming soon, right? Maybe there will be some troubles for our Service Club at that time."

"School anniversary?" Yuigahama was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and read the date of the school anniversary. Suddenly, she became excited: "Yes! It seems to be this month. Mr. Hiratsuka will mention this matter in the class meeting soon! That's great. I can have fun again!"

"So boring." Hikigaya sneered.

"Eh? Why are you saying that, Xiaoqi? What's wrong with that? I can be with my friends...ah, sorry..."

“…Don’t suddenly look at me with such pity!”

"Yes, you are a guy without friends. The joyful school celebration where everyone is enjoying themselves in groups must be making your life quite uncomfortable." Yukinoshita sneered and pointed this out mercilessly.

"I'm not upset! I was ignored by my classmates. They even forgot to arrange anything for me in the class activities. Thanks to this, I have a very free time. So I'm very happy, okay?" Hikigaya argued, but the facts that were revealed made people feel even more pathetic.

"It's so pitiful, Xiaoqi... But it's okay! Someone is here this time, and they will play with you, okay? Be good."

"So don't look at me with such pity and don't treat me like an orphan, okay?" Hikigaya slapped away the hand that was touching his head unhappily: "Humph, that's why I'm saying that you ordinary people who don't understand the joy of being alone... Let me say this first, I also plan to enjoy my free time during this school anniversary and spend it alone to my heart's content!"

Not bothering to pay attention to the dead fish eyes making stupid declarations over there, Yukinoshita said to Amaki: "That's it, since you are willing, I will come to you without hesitation when I need you..."

She glanced at Li Nian and Wu Geng over there, and changed her words temporarily: "I came to you."

Chapter 265: Kato Megumi is watching everyone

As he was writing, the plot had already advanced to the middle of the first volume, and a period was put to end the content of a chapter, which was considered to have completed the expected workload. Li Nian temporarily stopped thinking, pulled himself out of the high-speed deduction in his mind, stretched, and let out a long breath.

Look away from the computer screen.

I just noticed that it was almost dark. The clock was almost half past six. The three people from the service club had already left, but Gogen was still writing attentively beside me. Aki and Kato were also still sitting there.

Noticing that Li Nian's work seemed to have come to an end, An Yi, who had not come to disturb her before, came over with a smile.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Not bad... Oh, and thank you for helping to refill the tea several times, saving me from having to walk back and forth to get a refill."

"You are too focused, right? Do you really sit for hours without taking a break?"

"Now that you mention it, my legs are a little sore..." Sitting still for a long time made my muscles a little sore. Li Nian slapped his thighs, thinking that he should pay more attention. Then he stood up and started to stretch his body, doing some jumping movements: "That's all for today in the activity room. I'll go back and write later."
