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

Chapter 319: Put aside your grudges and start working

"Does this mean the theme has been determined?" An Yi asked in confusion, "But, a romantic comedy attack and defense? How do you attack and defend?"

"Female top." Kasumigaoka said.

"Male guard." Li Nian replied.

Sawamura hadn't even had a sip of his hot tea yet and his stomach was still aching. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Are you two serious? What you mean is that a virgin who is determined not to fall in love is rejecting women, while the black-haired guy on the other side has to find ways to conquer this girl? It sounds fun, just like a real person in reality..."

"This story is purely fictional, please don't take it seriously. Further seek a sense of reality in the three-dimensional world." Kasumigaoka defended with a red face. Why should she insist on making things difficult for herself if she herself feels embarrassed?

"Aren't you the one who insisted on putting your three-dimensional self into the role, senior..." Sawamura still gave face to the beloved Kasumigaoka senior, but it was so hard to hold back his laughter that his stomach hurt even more.

"If you want to put yourself in the shoes of someone else, then put yourself in the shoes of someone else." Li Nian snorted coldly, "That's exactly what I want. I'm the best at writing about male protagonists who are sexually apathetic. Watch me write a bachelor who is as strong as an iron wall and show you what an impregnable fortress is!"

"Oh!" An Yi was touched: "As expected of my friend, this determination to remain a virgin for life is rare in the world."

Sawamura slapped him on the head and said, "Stupid Renye, why are you so stupid as to really agree with him?"

"What?! Why are you hitting me? An Nian's thoughts are exactly what otakus like me should think!" An Yi yelled in dissatisfaction: "We only need a two-dimensional paper wife, the three-dimensional one..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear your idiotic ideas anymore, but Renye, have you forgotten what game we played?"

"Ah...ah? Galgame? What's wrong?"

Sawamura looked at him as if he was an idiot. "What else? Is there a market for a galgame where the hero ends up alone? Is this the romantic comedy visual novel you want to make? The hero ends up alone? It sounds like a tragedy."

"...That's right!" An Yi came back to her senses and immediately shook her head like pounding garlic: "That's really not possible! No, no! As a producer, I can never agree to this! We are making a normal gal! The purpose is to show players a love story between a man and a woman that is either tangled, sweet, sentimental, or fulfilling! The ending must always be a happy one, right? The protagonist is destined to open up, and the woman is destined to conquer the straight man! So classmate Li Nian..."

"Tsk...didn't you fool it?" Li Nian smacked his lips.

Kato looked at him speechlessly. This man was actually deliberately misleading the producer.

"That's how it should be. Your embarrassing thoughts are too unnecessary." Wu Geng had been making such a sullen face since the beginning for some reason: "To be frank, I don't know what you are embarrassed about. What's wrong with substituting yourself to create a character? Senior also said that fiction is fiction after all and can't become reality. It's not that you have been making trouble all the time. What's embarrassing about it? Actually, what's the big deal about substituting yourself to write a male and female protagonist?"

Everyone was stunned and looked away guiltily. Indeed, if they hadn't started the commotion and made such a fuss, causing the two scripts to become awkward, they wouldn't have had such wild thoughts.

"It's all your fault." Amaki immediately put the blame on Sawamura: "You were just talking nonsense."

Sawamura immediately kicked him and said, "It's not just my fault, Renya, you're also joining in the fun!"

"That's how it should be. Did you hear me? Li Nian, you can't think too much. You must put aside your unnecessary reserve and let me conquer you!" Senior Kasumigaoka threw a coquettish look: "Just give up struggling and obey me."

Wu Geng's face became darker and darker.

Li Nian thought about it and nodded, "Indeed, I am just building a character based on myself. I am not really in love, so this level of difficulty is not difficult for me, Li Nian! It's just imaginary love. I am thinking about who I will be with in the future and grow old together. Don't underestimate the delusion of a virgin! Let my avatar struggle unwillingly in the script, maintain the face of a single noble, and then be conquered reluctantly in front of the senior sister."

After hearing what Li Nian said, Xia Zhiqiu was stunned. She always felt that something was not right, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Geng said coldly: "Are you troubled by being conquered by a beautiful senior?"

"I can't help it. This is a necessary sacrifice for our great plan. I have no choice but to sell my body."

"Why didn't I realize he was such a despicable person before?" Sawamura said almost in admiration.

"I haven't noticed it before." An Yi agreed.

"I discovered it a long time ago." Wu Geng sneered.

Li Nian has calmed down. He will calmly accept the things that cannot be avoided. Since he really has to do this, he simply puts aside the grudges in his heart and faces this request without prejudice. At this time, he has begun to think about how to "build the male protagonist based on himself and unfold the story from the perspective of the male protagonist."

The ideas developed smoothly and inspiration came quickly.

Li Nian said with emotion: "To be frank, I'm not that opposed to what the senior did. I usually do this, putting myself in her shoes."

Kasumigaoka was slightly startled, then smiled: "I knew it."

Sawamura immediately raised his hand: "Teacher! I saw it too!"

"Everyone seems to know your character." Wu Geng said disdainfully, "I don't know why a grown man like you is so arrogant. You have a big problem if you make things so awkward."

"Hahaha..." Li Nian laughed dryly

I have to say, after putting aside shame, it is very simple to put yourself in the other person's shoes and develop your own thoughts, and it is also something Li Nian is quite good at.

I have to say that Sawamura's prediction was quite accurate. Li Nian actually has a tendency to more or less substitute his own thoughts into his writings - every author has this tendency, but his is more serious. The reason is that Li Nian also understands and is very clear that the ultimate goal of his writing is to express himself.

Express what I agree with, criticize what I disapprove of, show the beauty I like, and belittle the ugliness I hate.

It's because Li Nian is not capable enough that he can't make others happy, and it's because he can't make himself happy that Li Nian can't accept it!

This is not a wishful obsession, but the most suitable conclusion for myself that I have reached after many failures and struggles.

"Back to the point, it's fine to write it based on you and me as the prototypes of the male and female protagonists, but there is one thing I need to make clear to you, senior sister." Li Nian said seriously: "What do you mean by using myself as the prototype? In fact, as you said, fiction can't become reality. I can't really copy myself and the corresponding life trajectory and show it in the script."

"Because there is a secret that cannot be told?"

"That's one thing. Everyone has a few secrets. Isn't that strange? Doesn't your senior have any? Do you want to put your life into a script? You don't want to, do you? I think your Sayuka in "Love Metronome" is similar to your senior in real life."

"Of course, I understand."

"Second, my life is pretty boring. There's no drama."

"It's not dramatic yet? You are the exorcist now, right? I think it's quite dramatic compared to an ordinary high school boy. I've heard about what kind of person you were before, and you must have gone through a lot of dramatic things to become what you are now. Of course, I won't delve into the secrets, and you don't have to write about it."

"My private parts are insignificant, and the main reasons why I am who I am today are not a secret - but there is no drama either, because it is too outrageous."

"Outrageous?"

"It was pure chance, luck, an event with a very small probability, like winning the lottery."

Wu Geng and Anyi thought that Li Nian was talking about the excuse that he survived the spiritual disaster in Kyoto, awakened his talent for seeing ghosts, and became an exorcist - so they didn't say anything at this time.

Although Sawamura and Kato were curious and wanted to know how Li Nian became an exorcist, they kept their mouths shut when they saw Gogen and Amai's secretive reactions.

The truth is even stranger than the rhetoric.

Li Nian simply met a god after his death and was given a sword.

They all don't know that Li Nian, the chosen son of God, was just one of the countless living beings. He lived an insignificant life and died an insignificant life, just like billions of other living beings. He should have disappeared completely, but he was lucky to be chosen by God and achieved what he has today. This is just an event with a very small probability.

Li Nian personally has a lot of feelings about this, but I won't expand on it here. I just want to remind Kasumigaoka: "Reality can be illogical, but scripts are needed. Our lives are messy, but stories cannot be messy."

"I feel the same way—" Kasumigaoka smiled and said, "I know what you want to say. Of course, you don't need to copy your past. You can make up the story in any way you want. I just hope that it reflects your true thoughts, Li Nian. That's what I'm curious about. I think it will be very interesting and can make a good story."

"So you can just make up the background, the story, the time period, and just write whatever you want, right?"

"Of course, there's no reason to really tie your hands, and I don't want to."

"I want to be more free. If you really let me write freely, I will really write about things that interest me. These things will be events, ideas, and speculations that you have never come across. You may understand and agree with them, but the worst thing is that you don't understand and agree with them."

"Same here, I have thought about this situation before. The controversial parts need to be discussed and can be put aside. Whoever convinces the other party - or whoever can write it in a better way - will adopt that party's text."

"Okay, that's it. I'll start writing then."

Now that the questions that should be raised have been raised and answered, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. Li Nian sat down comfortably, took out his laptop and started his work.

"Ohhh, is the great writer finally going to start writing?"

Immediately, everyone, led by An Yi, came over in a rush.

Li Nian asked helplessly: "Don't you have your own things to do?"

An Yi stood behind the sofa, stretched out his hand and leaned on the back of the sofa, and smiled: "I am just curious about how a great novel starts from scratch."

"It's not a novel, it's a script that you asked me to write."

"It doesn't matter. I want to broaden my horizons."

"Ditto," said Sawamura, crawling over from the sofa over there to this sofa and sitting down on the left side of Li Nian.

"The construction of your outline is really amazing. It's something I want to learn." Xia Zhiqiu simply sat on the right side of Li Nian. Li Nian, who was too close to her, couldn't help but move away. As a result, she took advantage of the situation and got even closer, touching him in various places.

"Woman, you're really affecting my typing speed."

"Oops. Sorry."

After Li Nian said this, Kasumigaoka moved away a little bit, just a little bit, just symbolically.

Wu Geng looked left and right and found that there was no good position for the dwarf to see the screen. He also saw Li Nian's state of [hugging left and right]. He snorted coldly, thought about it, and simply got in front of Li Nian and squeezed him to sit down.

Although Li Nian, who was very puzzled, obeyed the pressure and leaned back, spreading her thighs to make some space for the petite Wu Geng to be there, she still asked in confusion: "...What are you doing?"

"I also want to learn how to write an outline. You said you would teach me."

Wu Geng said this calmly, but her blushing face showed that she was not really that nonchalant.

There was so little space that the girl inevitably leaned on Li Nian's chest. Li Nian clearly felt the initial tenseness of Wu Geng's body, and then Wu Geng immediately relaxed himself as if he had given up and leaned completely on him.

Seeing this scene, Kato, the only one who didn't come over, let out a slight cry of surprise and covered his mouth again.

Sawamura stared for a moment, as if he had suddenly realized something, and muttered, "So that's how it is."

Senior Kasumigaoka looked surprised, then smiled slightly and silently moved a little further to the side.

It felt a bit strange, like holding a doll in his arms, but Wu Geng had always been casual with him, so Li Nian didn't think much about it. He knew he couldn't control this group of self-willed and willful problem students. At this time, the computer was already turned on, so he just started working.

Li Nian's own work "Magic Covenant" has a detailed outline, which has been shown to everyone. It reflects clear levels and rigorous logic. After seeing it, they were all amazed. The laymen Aki and Sawamura could realize that it was the prototype of an excellent work. Kasumigaoka and Gogen of course knew its value better. They were unable to witness the specific completion process of this outline at the time. Now Li Nian has to write something new from scratch. It is natural for them to gather together to observe, whether out of the utilitarianism of learning or out of pure curiosity.

Li Nian was not distracted by the surrounding crowds. He was the type of person who could get into the state immediately. In fact, he had already thought of a lot of things when he was discussing with Kasumigaoka before. Now he just opened Word and started working on it.

An Yi looked at the words that this writer friend wrote quickly in the Word document with curiosity.

——"My favorite food is egg fried rice."

——"Past, present and future."

——"As people grow older, they become more and more utilitarian. They think about something in a meticulous way, thinking about how much energy, time, cost, and how much they can get. If it is not worth it, they will not do it. But can they really get the greatest utilitarianism? The original intention forgotten in the process of meticulous calculation, the passion wasted, and the thoughts became complicated. All of these are losses. Can a person really be fully committed with a utilitarian mind? Can he reach the highest realm without fully committing himself?

——"I smile at the sky with my sword in hand, my loyalty and courage will remain in Kunlun Mountains."

——"Laughter and joy should fill the daily life, allowing readers... onlookers to empathize with the characters, letting them like and love the characters, and enjoy the peaceful and happy daily life - and then suddenly shatter it, this is the essence of tragedy"

"Uh, Teacher Muzi? What kind of nonsense are you writing?" An Yi couldn't help but ask.

“It’s just a matter of listing everything that comes to mind and then stringing them together into categories.”

Chapter 320: It is the most difficult to keep one's original intention

"List all the things you can think of? And then connect them together?" An Yi looked at those paragraphs. Although there seemed to be no necessary connection between them, they were all logically complete sentences. It seemed that they were intended to be stuffed into the game script. If they were organized into an outline, they would probably end up presenting a logically rigorous and well-structured outline like the one they saw from Li Nian's "The Magic Covenant".

It’s not that she couldn’t understand what Li Nian meant, but An Yi still curiously asked Li Nian to explain: “What’s the reason for not tidying up right away? Teacher, explain it to me!”

An Yi really wanted to learn how to construct a good outline, not only because he was once a middle school boy who wrote disgusting novels, but also because his mind had been full of game planning recently. He really realized the importance of ideas. After having countless plans rejected by Li Nian and Kasumigaoka, he finally realized that if you want to do anything complicated well, you should start with building a framework.

"Why didn't you seem so excited when you were studying?"

It was obvious that the content on the text was growing at a terrifying rate, and the speed of typing reflected the usual terrifying efficiency of this self-proclaimed third-rate writer. Li Nian was obviously in a state of concentration, but he still had enough time to observe his surroundings and was in the mood to joke with An Yi.

"Reading is not as fun as playing games."

"Well said. I seem to have seen your future of failing the college entrance examination."

"Ha, hahaha, please don't say such horrible things, okay?"

Sawamura sneered, "Why don't we let our producer immerse himself in temporary happiness and forget about the various problems pressing in from reality? He may think that he is also a versatile person who works as an exorcist and writes novels and can sit firmly on the top throne of the school. It doesn't matter, Renye, even if you call me senior in the future, I will still treat you as my childhood sweetheart who grew up with me, and I will not underestimate your IQ."

"It's not the first or second that you've looked down on me. Do you think I don't know? Besides, don't imagine my life based on repeating a grade. Let's talk about games!" An Yi tried his best to escape reality.

Although the content of the document is not fully reflected and seems messy, Senior Kasumigaoka still reads it very carefully, knowing that each paragraph reflects Li Nian's various viewpoints and may be written into the game script, so she really read each paragraph carefully and tried to figure it out in her mind. This intensive reading method can't even keep up with Li Nian's typing speed, and it can be seen that the author himself is not really rambling with no coherence in his thoughts. The various paragraphs can be implicitly connected together, which is quite an interesting process to read.

However, the senior student was also concerned about An Yi's question and asked, "My habit is to fill in the content with the purpose of building a complete outline from the beginning. The order is opposite to yours, Li Nian. What's the point of this?"

"It's a matter of personal habits. There's nothing special about it. If I have to say, each has its own advantages. I started by finding the right direction to think about the content like my senior sister did, and then filled in the content with the goal of writing an outline. This can help me focus my thoughts. I usually do that." Li Nian stared at the screen and continued, "It's just that this is a new book... oh no, a game script from scratch, so I just decided on a direction for thinking about the offensive and defensive battles between men and women in love. I'll just think about it randomly and try to think of as much content as possible so that there's nothing to put in the script."

"That's right..."

The amount of text in adv games is actually quite large, and there are many events, especially when there are many characters to be conquered. Now starting from scratch, there are too many things to fill in, so you have to think freely. Kasumigaoka also thinks that what Li Nian said makes sense.

Wu Geng was also reading it very seriously, and suddenly said, "Isn't it necessary to do this for normal writing?"

Li Nian's hand paused slightly while typing, obviously his train of thought was interrupted. He thought about the issue of the fifth update and carefully considered the language.

In fact, he had discussed with Wu Geng many times about how to write the outline, and he mostly asked her to polish the outline to be neat and tidy, usually teaching her to delete more things instead of adding more things...

The reason is that Gogen is a person who writes setting collections that are thicker than the main text.

However, Li Nian replied to Wu Geng at this time, "Of course you can learn to do this when writing anything - the key is to have fun."

"Fun?" Wu Geng thought Li Nian could explain something, but the answer he gave made him confused.
