"It's time for the exciting and dream-filled card draw again! I'm sacrificing ten years of Ren's life to ensure that I can release the Star Bear! I click!"

“Hey, I heard you!” An Yi protested by slamming the table in dissatisfaction: “Is this your attitude towards the benefactor who helped you work for two days and barely met the deadline? Also, I have long advised you not to spend a lot of money on mobile games. You knew that when you said that and started to draw the first round, you couldn’t stop. You don’t have the self-awareness of the Africans, and you get addicted easily. It takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to empty the pool before you can reach the bottom. You’d better stop now…”

Wu Geng, who was paying attention to the situation here, twitched his lips, and immediately looked at Sawamura over there with hatred as if he were a class enemy: "Hundreds of thousands just to draw an insignificant card person... What a waste, what a waste.

Then he began to pray darkly: God, please bless this guy so that he can have no guarantee for ten consecutive draws and no goods for a hundred consecutive draws...

However, when the passionate and cheerful music sounded, Sawamura, who had just looked completely unmotivated, jumped up excitedly from the sofa, skipping and cheering.

"It's shipped! It's really shipped right away! Renye, your miserable life is quite useful."

“TEN YEARS OF MY LIFESHOOOOOOOOOOOO?!”

An Yi was stunned for a moment, then held her head and screamed in fear.

"Tsk." Wu Geng smacked his lips in displeasure.

Li Nian looked at Sawamura in surprise, then patted An Yi's shoulder sympathetically.

"Don't worry, if any god dares to take away your ten years of life, I will help chop it off."

"...Although I know you don't have the Mystic Death Eyes, thank you very much my friend." An Yi thought Li Nian was just joking with him, so he felt relieved. Looking at Sawamura rolling on the ground with joy because of the product, he showed a helpless expression. He couldn't do anything about her, so he muttered: "Calculate the total amount of money this idiot has spent on mobile game krypton gold. It's understandable that he has a bad face occasionally... I just don't know if this guy will get carried away because of an occasional good luck..."

As expected, Sawamura sat down happily again: "Now is the time of good luck! How can we not continue to smoke to our heart's content? Granblue Fantasy, start!"

Well, I’m really starting to get carried away.

"This time I'll sacrifice An Yi's entire body! It'll be my turn to hit the target and ship the goods!"

What an insatiable guy! Aki cursed Sawamura from the bottom of his heart for not being able to hit the target even once.

Too lazy to even look at her heartless childhood sweetheart, An Yi asked Li Nian again, "By the way, have you already started planning on arranging an illustrator? The draft revisions haven't even been completed yet, have they?"

"It's because I finished the revised manuscript these two days and passed Ms. Machida's review. After that, I have to consider the issue of illustrators, so I thought of Sawamura."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Finished writing?!" An Yi, who had been listless just now and had a bitter face because he was inexplicably sacrificed for ten years, suddenly became excited: "So fast!?"

"I told you it would be finished in a few days. I worked hard on it over the weekend and finished it."

"that is……!"

"Ah, I can start planning for you now. That being said, I have to wait for the progress of my senior to officially start writing the script. I can only study it myself and do what I can."

"That's great, that's great!" An Yi, who had been tricked to death by Sawamura for the past few days, shed tears of emotion and tightly grasped Li Nian's hand: "Brother! Li Nian, who is so good to me, you are my half-brother!"

"It's my duty, it's my duty." Li Nian, who had goose bumps all over his body, had a stiff face and quickly pulled his hand back.

"Did you hear that, Eriri? Learn from me."

"I heard it, I heard it." Even Sawamura couldn't help but be ashamed of this guy's efficiency. He raised his eyes from the phone screen and looked at Li Nian in surprise: "You finished it in such a short time... I see, that's why you want me to be the illustrator now that you have completed the manuscript, right?"

She showed a hesitant look, and she also understood the importance of an illustrator to a light novel. She knew that Li Nian rarely asked her for help, and that he really believed in her ability as an illustrator.

Seeing her reaction, Li Nian waved her hand.

"It's okay if you don't want to. I won't force you."

Since Sawamura refused, Li Nian didn't intend to pester him anymore. He simply gave up the idea of ​​asking Sawamura for help and decided to wait for Miss Machida's arrangements.

Kasumi No Oka over there was watching this scene with a thoughtful expression. She did not speak for Li Nian at this time, but just watched quietly.

Li Nian gave up on her own initiative, but Sawamura kept staring at him. No one knew what he was thinking. Until Li Nian got annoyed by her stare, the girl suddenly reached out her hand to him.

"I see. Then bring it here."

Li Nian was puzzled.

"what?"

"The manuscript, haven't you finished revising it? I want to see it."

Li Nian shook her head.

"The story before the revision is already an independent story, so it's okay for you to read it, but the final version after the revision is the content to be published, so I don't intend to disclose it casually. Sorry."

The manuscript leak before release is actually a serious problem. Although it is not really strict to not show it to any unrelated person, you still have to be careful not to spread it widely. He and Kasumigaoka are both authors under Ms. Machida. Li Nian will show the manuscript to Kasumigaoka with the tacit consent of the editor, but this time Li Nian does not plan to distribute it to everyone in the club casually. It is not that he does not trust the character of Aki and others, but for him, this is a professional quality that must be followed. In the future, unless it is necessary, he will not show the manuscript to others casually.

Kato, who brought tea to Gogen, showed a rather regretful look: "Couldn't I have read Li Nian's story earlier?"

"That's the way it's supposed to be done according to the rules." Wu Geng replied without even raising his head.

Sawamura smacked his lips in displeasure, but finally nodded, understanding Li Nian's approach.

"I understand... In this case, you can negotiate with your editor, mention my name, Kashiwagi Eri, and ask her to contact me, saying that I am interested in working with her. Then she can send the manuscript to me. Is that okay?"

Li Nian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Didn't Sawamura just refuse? Does this mean you've changed your mind and agreed to help me draw illustrations?"

"I didn't agree! Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to find an excuse to see the manuscript earlier!" Sawamura turned away, blushing a little, and shouted: "Believe it or not, I will throw it away after reading it! I will only reply [Sorry, after reading the original manuscript, I have carefully considered that the style of the work does not suit me, please find another good one!]"

"That's fine." Li Nian didn't care. He just mentioned it casually. It was Sawamura's freedom to decide whether to agree or not. "After reading it, if Sawamura-san is really dissatisfied, just refuse to cooperate."

"...Humph, of course I'll do that." Sawamura muttered and lowered his head to play with his phone again.

Kasumigaoka smiled slightly, stopped worrying about it, and returned to her work.

An Yi glanced at his childhood sweetheart, smiled and shook his head, thinking, "As always, he is a guy who says one thing but does another. Can't he just honestly say that he really likes Li Nian's work and wants to help?"

Of course I didn’t dare say it out loud, because I would definitely be beaten if I did.

"Oh, An Yi." Li Nian suddenly remembered something and said to An Yi, "Recommend a few campus romance movies for you to watch."

"Ugh?"

It had been a long time since Li Nian approached him to ask to borrow a game. An Yi was stunned for a while, and then he became excited: "Leave it to me, but what's the matter? You suddenly want to play gal..." At this point, he suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look at the stupid things I said, I have to write a script, I have to study it carefully, right?"

Li Nian nodded. It was indeed as An Yi said. Since he was going to start writing the script, he naturally needed to do some research. The best way was to directly read the excellent works on the market.

After thinking for a while, he secretly glanced at the girls over there, then hooked his finger, motioning An Yi to come over and talk. An Yi came closer with confusion, and heard Li Nian's whisper.

"You really don't have an 18x version?"

"...Really not."

"That's it."

If I had known that A Yi insisted on not touching R18 works, I would have bought all-age versions. But Li Nian still felt that this guy might be deceiving me, so I asked this question tentatively. When he answered no, Li Nian believed it completely and didn't plan to ask any more questions. But I still shook my head slightly with regret, knowing that I could only borrow all-age versions of games from A Yi.

Wu Geng looked at Li Nian's expression and knew that this guy was secretly talking to An Yi. He sneered and turned to Kato and said.

"Kato, you have to remember that there are many men in the world who appear to be righteous and upright, but you never know what they are like behind the scenes, so be careful..."

"Haha..." Kato tilted his head in confusion.

Li Nian knew that this guy was saying this to her on purpose, and she was upset. You nympho, you seem to have hidden so many R18 works in your room, and you still have the nerve to mock him? Just as she was about to retort, her face suddenly changed, and she stood up from the chair.

Wu Geng was startled, thinking that Li Nian was angry, but he didn't look at him, but turned to look out the window with a serious expression. He was wondering what had happened, and then he heard a loud roar like thunder, which came continuously but in a chaotic rhythm, accompanied by a slight shaking like an earthquake.

Everyone was startled and looked over there blankly, not knowing what was going on.

But Li Nian understood what had happened and rushed out of the room.

He clearly felt two powerful... and familiar auras colliding with each other, launching an undisguised fierce battle.

A breath, it was the breath of the unknown powerful monster with whom he once drank in a roadside tavern.

One aura is the commander-in-chief of the Nura group, Nura Rikuo.

Chapter 276: Dalian Temple Suzuka's Divergent Thoughts

Go forward a little in time.

The daytime class time is very boring for Dalian Temple Suzuka.

For her age, most people are still in junior high school. She was promoted to the first year of high school so quickly, which means she skipped a grade... Having said that, she hardly ever went to the school she attended before, so it was equivalent to just having her name on the list. After all, compulsory education is a legal requirement, and because she is a public figure, she cannot leave any excuse for this. She is a talented idol representing the Onmyoji and has to show a positive image to the outside world. Therefore, at this age, Dalianji Suzuka must be a student.

But even if she didn't study well in school and skipped a grade, it doesn't mean that Dalianji will not be able to keep up with the courses. She was admitted to Sobu High School with good reason.

Although with her status and position, it is just a matter of a word for her to go to school. After all, there is no need for the Onmyoji Bureau to exert any pressure. If they knew that a "child prodigy" would come to study in their school, no school would be unwilling to agree. It's just that such an action is too redundant. Dalianji Suzuka doesn't need to do such a boring thing. As a researcher, her academic ability is quite good, and her knowledge is naturally not just the average level of her age. With just high school knowledge, she can cope with the exams with a little learning. The process of getting into Sobu High School was easy, and her grades were excellent and worthy of the title of child prodigy.

She had some expectations for school at first, thinking that she could gain some good knowledge in the academy. But after the formal classes began, Dalian Temple Suzuka found that the content taught by the teacher was already within the scope of her self-study. Now it sounded just repetitive, and it felt so easy to understand that there was no difficulty at all, and there was no practical value for further research. I really don’t know why students have to spend all day on it...

Having said that, looking around, it is easy to find that even though it is such a simple thing, the guys around her who are much older than her still seem to have difficulty understanding it.

There is no way, after all, they are not "geniuses" like me - this is not sarcasm, Dalian Temple Suzuka thinks so sincerely.

The differences between myself and the people around me have been confirmed more than once in my life.

Out of boredom, thoughts naturally drifted away. Dalian Si, pretending to be listening attentively, was actually thinking about a lot of things behind the scenes.

Dalian Temple Suzuka knows that most mortals in this world do not even have the most basic "talent to see ghosts". They only possess extremely weak spiritual power, let alone the inspiration to awaken spiritual vision. They can only see things with their naked eyes, not with their mind's eyes. What they can see is often only the most superficial surface of the various connections among all things in the world.

This is a fact.

If you haven’t seen it, you won’t know. The world seen through spiritual vision is completely different from what we see with our naked eyes.

Dalianji Suzuka was born with the talent of an exorcist. Her spiritual vision had been awakened since she was born and it opened naturally. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was "the essence of the world."

Even though my memories of that early childhood are vague, the images and emotions from that time are extremely profound.

She was still very naive at that time and thought that the colorful scene was very beautiful and joyful.

Just now...

She just felt that the world she saw in her spiritual vision, no matter how colorful it was, seemed cold and without any love or compassion, but rather disgusting.

She is a genius. Not only do outsiders think so, but Dalianji Suzuka herself also thinks so. However, Dalianji Suzuka often thinks that this talent is both a gift and a curse.

If it weren't for this damn talent, her and her brother's lives might not have been so miserable.

Precisely because of the scenery she had seen since birth, her life had deviated so much from the right track. Along the way, what she saw, thought, did, and experienced were all very different from those of ordinary people.

Assuming that she was born without any talent, like most people around her, unable to see the bizarre spiritual world and only able to see the surface of things with her naked eyes, she and her brother probably would not have been given high hopes by the couple. Researchers would undoubtedly lose interest in such children and let them live ordinary lives.

Then she, Suzuka Dairenji... could have grown up as an ordinary child with her brother, and by now, she should be able to live a fulfilling and happy life every day, just like the group of silly mortals around her.

Of course, if you understand this kind of thing, you can only think about it...

Now that it has happened, there is nothing we can do except face it.

Even though he hated this talent, he still needed to rely on it. In order to bring his brother back to this world one day, he needed to continue researching and practicing.

This made me think of Li Nian.

I heard that the guy was the top student in the second grade, but as his reputation grew, his shameful deeds of sleeping in class and even skipping classes were dug up. It was obvious that he didn't study much on a normal day, but even so, he still sat firmly on the throne of top student in the grade. It can be seen that the guy is probably like himself, who has already mastered the high school level courses and feels bored during class time... When he went to his class that day, Dalian Temple Suzuka saw that the book that Li Nian was studying was the manifestation of some kind of ritual. He realized that this guy seemed to use the boring class time to practice on weekdays, and Dalian Temple thought that maybe he could learn from him.

Having said that, you can't bring banned books to public places... It's still Li Nian's problem. Others are not afraid, but this guy with keen senses and strong strength is the only one. Ordinary tricks may not work. If you let him slip and he finds out that you are studying something you shouldn't study, it will be very troublesome.

...However, it seems that Li Nian has done a lot of research on these mere forbidden books and techniques. Dalian Temple Suzuka knows that powerful mages will always secretly touch upon some research that is prohibited due to danger, because those areas of knowledge are unavoidable if they want to go higher. Someone as strong as Li Nian must have touched upon some dangerous techniques. Even though he was initially confused when the Taishan Fujun Festival was mentioned, he still did not have any sense of crisis when he later learned that it was a system of techniques related to the soul. It seems that even if Li Nian discovered his research, given Li Nian's personality, he might turn a blind eye and let it go.

Perhaps she could go a step further and discuss with him some knowledge related to the soul realm. She felt that this powerful wizard should be able to come up with some new and profound insights on this, which would be of some help to her own research.

I can even use knowledge as bait to guide him to the same direction of research as myself. Anyway, I will be staying here for a long time, away from the eyes and ears of the Yin-Yang Bureau. If I can win this guy over to conduct joint research, I will surely be able to use his knowledge and talents to achieve new breakthroughs...

Dalian Temple Suzuka decided to test Li Nian a little bit.

Chapter 277: Experts in Infiltration and Tracking

During the class time one day, Dalian Temple Suzuka, who had nothing to do, maintained a dignified manner and smile in front of people, pretending to be listening to the class seriously. The classmates who saw her appearance sighed that she was worthy of being the national idol [child prodigy] Dalian Temple Suzuka, who took her attitude towards study so seriously that they were even inspired by this and became more clean.

Little did they know that the girl wasn't actually listening to the class seriously, but was secretly thinking about all sorts of dangerous things.

Since she had decided to test Li Nian, she had no intention of dragging it out. After the boring class time, as soon as school was over, Dalian Temple Suzuka immediately got up to find Li Nian and test him.

At this point in time, that guy should have gone to the club.

Dalian Temple, who couldn't wait to go to the activity room to find Li Nian, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

——"Mr. Prodigy, how are you? How have you been these days?"

Dalian Temple Suzuka's hair stood on end and she instantly became alert, immediately realizing that it was the young wizard who had come looking for her.

Being able to communicate directly with the voice of the heart meant that this guy was nearby, which surprised Dalian Temple Suzuka. This guy was just chased away by Li Nian not long ago, and also aroused Nura Rikuo's vigilance. I wonder if the two of them are in the school at this time? If they are found, aren't they afraid of another big fight? If it really turns out that way, this time the people of Nura Group may join in the encirclement and suppression of this guy. Even with the protection of the war god named Yato, it will definitely be more difficult for him to escape than last time.

Or did this guy think that he hadn't been noticed by the Nura Clan? He thought that they were the only exorcists who wanted to arrest him... In any case, he had found me, and now was undoubtedly a chance to catch him again.

While trying to follow the voice in his heart to find the location of the young wizard, he was also prepared to send a signal to notify Li Nian and Nura Rikuo to come over at any time. In order to stabilize the young wizard, Dalian Temple did not disconnect and took the initiative to communicate with him.

——"...You actually came to see me after that?"
