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

"Think about it, is it more comfortable to let your mind wander or to think carefully and calculate with a certain purpose in mind?"

"Of course it's the former... Oh, that's what it means to be fun." Wu Geng was still confused and said, "But can you really write a good outline this way?"

"Not necessarily, but when writing, you have to make yourself happy first. It's not too late to think about it first and then choose carefully."

"Then it will be fun for others to watch?"

"That's not necessarily true. What you write may not be pleasant for others to read."

Kasumigaoka couldn't agree more with this statement: "Yes, the plots and ideas that you think are interesting may be boring to others. Machida Komushi pointed out many such parts of my manuscripts that needed to be revised."

"So are those setting collections that someone used to write that were thicker than the main text."

How could Wu Geng not know that the person was talking about him? He rolled his eyes and said, "Go to hell. I feel great writing it myself. What do you care about me?"

"That's right, you understand it very well. I know that my Xiao Wugeng is the type of author who knows how to write for his own pleasure first."

"Who is your family..." Wu Geng's scolding was a little lacking in confidence, because now sitting in Li Nian's arms, she was also aware that she was being held like a doll... But she didn't want to run away for the moment, and the human seat was quite comfortable and warm.

"Just write with joy. The most important thing is to have fun doing anything."

Wu Geng thought about it and said with self-mockery: "But it's also sad that what I write is not recognized by others."

"That's simply because your outline is terrible, your writing is weak, the plot is anti-intellectual, you don't have enough experience, your logic is rigid, and as an author you don't have any decent qualities at all."

"Hmph!" Wu Geng raised his head and bumped into Li Nian's chin. At that moment, he could hear the sound of his upper and lower teeth colliding.

Kato was bringing Sawamura some hot tea, and seeing this he casually sighed, "Wow, it looks like it hurts."

"That's what this straight guy deserves. How can he be so rude to a girl? You can't say that to be honest." Sawamura took out the hot tea, blew it to cool it down before taking a sip: "Huha... My stomachache seems to be better now. Thank you, Hui."

"I made this hot water specially for you." An Yi said dissatisfiedly, but Sawamura ignored him.

"You're welcome, Eriri, but I wasn't talking about Li Nian-san's chin, I was talking about Gogen-san's head."

Indeed, Li Nian has always been thick-skinned. He just touched his chin and felt that the impact was quite big. He asked Wu Geng helplessly: "Last time it was the dictionary that was thrown. Was it the chin that hit you this time? It seems that you have more and more good habits... You hit it pretty hard. Doesn't your head hurt?"

Wu Geng pressed his head until tears came out, but he still had to be tough and said fiercely, "It doesn't hurt! I've heard this before, you don't need to say it again!"

Li Nian patted her head gently as if to soothe a furious cat. Wu Geng snorted twice in dissatisfaction, but did not slap his hand away.

"What you wrote before was like this, but I didn't say that what you are writing now is also like this. I am asking you to learn from the lesson. There is nothing wrong with admitting it. Lu Xun once said: There are no boring plots, only boring authors."

The literary giant from country Z, Kasumigaoka, had also heard this and was stunned for a moment, wondering if the great man had ever said this.

Li Nian continued, "If you don't write what you want to write and make others want to read, it means that the author is not capable enough. This must be acknowledged, but it's nothing to worry about. After all, it's something you will naturally learn as you write."

Kasumigaoka stopped thinking about the literary master's quotes. After hearing what Li Nian said, she smiled and comforted Gogen: "We all went through this."

Gogen shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Senior Kasumigaoka is not like me. You are the one who was able to pass the selection and obtain the publishing qualification the first time you wrote a book. You may think that your current achievement is nothing, but the world generally calls this a genius."

Kasumigaoka was speechless and wanted to refute that it was not the case, but then she heard Li Nian say, "Senior Kasumigaoka is indeed a genius."

"...Do you see me like that too?" Kasumigaoka frowned.

"You are doing much better than your contemporaries. From a common sense perspective, this is genius." Li Nian said, "No one denies your efforts. Don't be angry, senior sister."

Kasumigaoka was thinking something like "You only know my glamour but not my hard work." After hearing what Li Nian said, she realized that she was thinking too much. She calmed down and thought about it, then smiled and said, "That's right. I, Kasumigao Shiko, am a genuine genius high school student writer." She added, "But geniuses like me also came this way."

"Yes, geniuses also come this way. Some learn fast and some learn slowly, but as long as you keep doing it, you will definitely grow. This is what I have already told you, right, right, Gogen?"

"...I haven't forgotten." Thinking of the encouragement from Li Nian, Wu Geng felt warm in his heart. He shook his head and said simply, "I made a slip of the tongue."

"I'm sure that writing will get better and better as time goes by. As long as someone keeps writing and keeps learning, his writing won't be too bad after writing millions of words. With me and Senior Kasumigaoka watching over you, you can avoid many detours. So I have no doubt that you will produce an excellent work that is worth reading, Gogen."

"...Thank you so much for trusting me more than I do." Wu Geng felt embarrassed by what he said, and wondered when did straight men learn how to speak politely.

But when Li Nian and Wu Geng talked about writing, they never talked about vague things. He said that if he was sure, then he was sure.

Because Wu Geng works very hard.

He works harder than before.

This is a girl who is much more hardworking, more tenacious and more persistent than the lazy and playful high school boys.

For such a five-minute update, Li Nian is actually only worried about one thing.

"The premise is that you can really stick to it in the future."

"...Of course I can hold on."

Naturally, after hearing what Li Nian said, Wu Geng looked at him as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Nian smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, Wu Geng, why are you able to persist in writing this?"

"Of course, because I think it's interesting."

"Yes, because you find this thing interesting, so you enjoy it, but suppose one day, you find it boring?"

"That day will never come." Wu Geng said flatly.

"hehe."

The one who laughed out loud was not Li Nian, but the one with the blonde twintails. Wu Geng frowned, looked over, and asked coldly, "What's so funny?"

"Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to be sarcastic." Sawamura smiled nostalgically and said with emotion: "It's just that I feel like everyone is starting to be like you."

"…Only at the beginning?"

“Whatever you dream of doing, whatever you enjoy doing, whatever you aspire to do, if your enthusiasm isn’t worn out within the first three minutes, then you can always keep it longer.” Not knowing what he was thinking of, Sawamura stopped laughing and looked at Gogen with a rare serious expression: “But don’t forget that you are a human being. You will get tired, annoyed, and troublesome. Don’t even mention whether there will be a day when you feel bored in the future. Gogen, can you really say that you have never had such a thought since you started writing, the kind that, [Ah, I’m so tired, I don’t want to do it anymore, I don’t want to write anymore, why do I have to do such a troublesome thing, it’s not much easier to give up?]”

Wu Geng was silent for a while, then nodded: "I do... occasionally... feel tired and exhausted, but I don't think to this extent. Most of the time I feel happy. I have long stopped doing things that make me unhappy."

"So, it's always like this at the beginning." Sawamura said sinisterly, "But sooner or later one day you will think like this, and all kinds of negative thoughts will linger in your mind, making you lost and depressed. You don't want to work, and you just want to play games, watch movies, read novels and sleep all day long."

"Like you, right?" An Yi thought that this was the most appropriate thing for an illustrator who had all kinds of work to do but was idle all day long. She sneered and said, "It's true that Eriri you complain every day, and you really don't do anything because of it. Then you regret it a few days before the deadline. It seems that passion is no longer your motivation, but the deadline is."

"Ahem, that's collecting materials! Can collecting materials be called lazy?"

"Yes, yes, get more materials. Anyway, it's me, not you, who has to apologize to the printing factory and the client, and it's you, not me, who is anxious on the deadline." An Yi was too lazy to preach.

"Anyway!" Sawamura looked away guiltily, and quickly brought the topic back to Gogen, saying, "That's the thing, you know? The passion of a creator will eventually wear out! The pressure of making money and meeting deadlines will become your ultimate motivation to move forward! That's probably what Mr. Li meant!"

"Is that so?" Kato wondered, "Will all creators become like this?"

"She's the only one like that." Gogen looked at the twin-tailed girl who was promoting utilitarianism with the same eyes as if she were a cockroach on the ground: "Of course I won't. Now that I've seen a perfect negative example, I don't want to become like that even more."

"Tsk, so that's why I'm saying that newbies who don't know the fickleness of the world and the dangers of work are so proud..." Sawamura didn't care and looked at Li Nian and Kasumigaoka: "You two over there know exactly what I mean... You understand, right?"

"...Actually, I don't quite understand." Kasumigaoka was a little confused: "Although my manuscripts were sent back for revision, it was painful, but I consider myself to be the type driven by passion, and I am quite proactive in writing manuscripts. So far, I have completed them naturally before the deadline."

Li Nian had been typing away during the chat, and now asked in confusion, "Ah? Who are you asking about, Sawamura? Are you asking about me, who can write a high-quality short story or complete the draft of a long story in three to five days?"

“…These traitors!”

In fact, Li Nian understood Sawamura's meaning very well, and said with a smile: "Well, the result of losing enthusiasm is that you will end up like Sawamura who usually slacks off. Thank you for this student jumping out as a negative example, so that everyone can learn from it."

"?! Are you plotting against me?"

"You're still calculating... Isn't it you who jumped out and blew yourself up?" Li Nian turned to Wu Geng: "But what Sawamura said is right, enthusiasm will be worn out, so enthusiasm needs to be maintained - so when it comes to writing, you can learn techniques, think about ideas, and practice your writing skills, but don't forget that you do it because you like it. Try to write what you like in the way you like it."

Wu Geng nodded, but she didn't quite understand. She was full of enthusiasm and probably couldn't imagine a future where her enthusiasm was worn away.

At this moment, the door of the club room was suddenly pushed open and Dalianji Suzuka walked in.

She had a serious expression on her face. Seeing Li Nian here, she asked directly, "Can you talk to me for a moment?"

Chapter 321 [Prodigy] Obsessed with Taishan Prefecture Lord Ceremony

When An Yi saw this star exorcist appear here, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly showed a look of horror.

"noooooo!"

Sawamura was startled: "Why are you screaming? You scared me to death."

An Yi panicked and kept muttering to himself.

"I knew it, I knew it. Every time our project is about to enter a new stage, someone will come and steal our key script writer. Is this God making things difficult for me, Amami Tomoya, and not wanting to see me fulfill my great wish..."

"...It seems to be true." It was rare that Sawamura agreed with Amaki's idea. Now that they all knew Li Nian's identity as an exorcist, when he saw Dalianji Suzuka pushing the door in and calling Li Nian directly, he could understand that this "child prodigy" had come to Li Nian for most likely "work" matters.

Li Nian stopped what he was doing and looked at Dalian Si who walked in. In fact, he thought it was possible that the child came over to play... But obviously that was not the case at this time. This well-known idol was too lazy to keep his signature smile on his face. With a serious expression, he called Li Nian out, obviously he had something important to discuss.

"Sorry, An Yi, I have to stop for a moment..."

Li Nian reached out and grabbed Wu Geng under the armpits and picked her up. Wu Geng was frightened and her whole body was stiff for a moment. She didn't even have time to struggle before she was lifted up like a cat and thrown aside. Everyone had already tactfully made way for her.

Li Nian walked towards Dalian Temple Suzuka, said "Let's go", and followed her out of the club room.

The two were walking in the corridor. Dalian Temple casually threw a talisman in front of him. The talisman floated in the air and stopped. Then the ritual written on it began to unfold. An invisible force swept over Li Nian and enveloped the two of them.

Li Nian understood that Dalian Temple had directly launched a technique to isolate the inside and outside world. He didn't want anyone to see the conversation and behavior between the two of them. It seemed that what he wanted to say was still a big secret. He watched this scene silently without commenting on anything. In his mind, he had already roughly imagined the outline of Dalian Temple Suzuka looking for him.

But the child prodigy did not get straight to the point. After thinking for a while, he asked some trivial questions first: "Judging from the reactions of those little ghosts next to you, have you told them that you are an exorcist?"

"Each of those kids is a senior who is much older than you...well, as you saw, I told them." Li Nian was not in a hurry and was happy to chat with her for a while.

"I said that we exorcists live openly and honestly, and our identities are not something that needs to be hidden. I don't understand why Isayama and you have to hide it. Isn't it nice to enjoy the admiring gazes of ordinary people? It's quite enjoyable to have girls gather around you and follow you around, right?"

"Gousawamura and the others didn't gather around me because of something like this... Think of it as you like."

"..."

"..."

Then there was another inexplicable silence.

Li Nian always felt that this scene had happened not long ago... Yes, the same thing happened when Ye Shan followed him at noon.

Over there, Dalian Temple Suzuka was secretly glancing at Li Nian to observe his reaction, with scrutiny and a little fear in her eyes.

Unlike Ye Shan, who only had a vague sense of the danger to Li Nian, Suzuka Dalianji saw the life-and-death fight between Li Nian and Tsuchigumo at close range. As an excellent exorcist herself, she could clearly understand how powerful and terrifying Li Nian really was as a wizard and warrior. She was hit on the mark by Nura Rikuo's teasing, and it was after that battle that she learned to respect Li Nian - that was the respect for the strong.

She, Dalian Temple Suzuka, is arrogant, but not stupid. Respecting the strong is the first thing everyone in the industry must learn.

Li Nian knew it very well, but she actually didn't like this attitude.

So he laughed.

"What's wrong, Suzuka? After seeing my strength, have you finally learned to respect your elders? Then why not call me senior? Maybe it will make me think more about what you are going to say after I agree to it."

When Li Nian called her by name and teased her, Suzuka was stunned at first, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. That was Li Nian's casual attitude towards her as usual, and he did not treat her, Suzuka, as a stranger and distance herself from her. She realized that she was thinking too much, so she immediately returned to her previous state and retorted to Li Nian rudely.

"...You are a junior, you should call me senior. Don't get too carried away. As a new exorcist, you should respect the rules of the industry. I will unceremoniously copy Tian Ruo Qingxian's stupid sermon."

"Haha." Li Nianzhen smiled happily and felt that this was right. Although being respected by others was a pleasant thing in a sense, being looked at with a distant look by acquaintances would only make him feel uncomfortable.

Then he took the initiative to ask why Dalian Temple Suzuka came to him: "So, why did you come to see me?"

After he said this, Dalian Temple fell silent again.

If it was Ye Shan who was here, Li Nian would urge him to get to the point quickly, but it was different for Dalian Temple. Li Nian guessed that the matter would involve a lot of things, and Suzuka would have to consider it carefully, so he said, "If you haven't decided whether to tell me before you come, then I suggest you really don't say anything. If you involve me with half-hearted awareness, I will also feel troublesome."

"Half-baked awareness? Indeed, if a half-baked guy is involved, he will only cause trouble to others. You are right. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hesitate about." Suzuka muttered to herself, the light in her eyes became stronger and stronger. When she looked directly at Li Nian, she was no longer confused and her expression seemed determined.

Li Nian said this sincerely wanting to persuade Suzuka to reconsider, but this sentence made Suzuka make up her mind.

"Let's get this straight." Suzuka finally got straight to the point and told Li Nian straightforwardly: "I want to hold a Taishan Lord Festival ceremony, and I want you to protect me."

"Is that really the case?" Li Nian was not surprised. He let out a long sigh and said that Dalian Temple Suzuka had been thinking about something else. He asked in confusion: "...Now that you finally have this idea and are planning to put it into practice, is it because you really convinced Tian Tengqi's words?"

"...No wonder Isayama comes to test me from time to time. You guys really know about this. Was it the Nurarihyon who was peeking at you that day who told you?"

"Nura Rikuo kept his mouth shut. He didn't say a word to give you face. I guessed it. It's not hard to guess. You were distracted after your contact with Fujiki. Anyone can see it. I also told Isayama about this guess."

"Then you don't have to think too much now. I'll tell you directly that the Taishan Fujun Festival is my main research direction. Fujiki said that he is willing to support me in holding the Taishan Fujun Festival ceremony. He has the knowledge and technology of Dalian Temple Zhidao who is truly specialized in this field and can provide great help. After considering it, I think it is indeed feasible, so I decided to agree."

Suzuka told Li Nian everything without reservation, her expression frank and calm.

Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Are you accepting Teng Qi's persuasion and want to surrender to the enemy?"

The Tsuchigumo battle maniac who was knocked down looked at him with such undisguised hostility, asking him if he had surrendered to the enemy, which clearly showed that he would never tolerate it. Dalian Temple was really frightened and hurriedly explained: "I don't have such intentions, I just want to use them! I don't want to join them at all! Fujiki also said that he only provides help and does not ask for anything. He does not interfere with my behavior and does not ask me to join them!"

"And you really believed that he was such a good guy?" The hostility in Li Nian's eyes disappeared. In fact, he just wanted to scare Suzuka. He didn't really think that she would defect to the enemy. But after hearing what Suzuka said, he really thought she was a fool and gave her a look as if she was caring for a mentally retarded person.

"I believe it." Suzuka knew what Li Nian meant and nodded in agreement: "Don't look at me like a fool. I know what you are thinking. I agreed because I roughly knew what they wanted, so I didn't doubt Fujiki's promise."

"Well, what do they want?"

"Tengqi said that they were also researching the Taishan Fujun Festival. They helped me because they wanted to see a successful Taishan Fujun Festival. You know, having a successful reference will be of great help to the research."

Li Nian was silent for a while, thinking about what Teng Qi said. Judging from Teng Qi's personal intentions, it was indeed the case. The young wizard always talked about research, and his enthusiasm for persuading Suzuka to join them was even greater than persuading powerful fighters like Li Nian to join. His words showed that he valued Suzuka's research knowledge.

Li Nian could actually understand Teng Qi's thoughts very well because he also understood the importance of knowledge.
