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

Li Nian nodded with satisfaction. Wu Geng like this was very similar to the arrogant attitude when Li Nian first met him - Li Nian thought it was good this way. The arrogant Wu Geng was the Wu Geng he had always known. Arrogance was also a kind of self-confidence.

Anyway, when Wu Geng gets really carried away by her success, Li Nian will hit her rudely.

Not to mention this, Wu Geng now gives people the feeling that he has recovered his spirit, which is better than anything else.

Li Nian could always see the subtle changes in the girl's state and could understand the sensitive thoughts reflected in those changes - of course, as a grown man he could only understand most of the changes, and some changes were really beyond his comprehension. For example, the girl would occasionally look at him with the same gentle eyes as just now, which Li Nian thought was out of character and he didn't quite understand what that meant.

Anyway, no matter what, at least Li Nian could still see that something was wrong with Wu Geng. She knew that although the girl pretended to be strong, she had actually started to worry about gains and losses recently. She had obviously lost some self-confidence and became extremely anxious... The fact that she would occasionally say some discouraging self-deprecating words was proof of this. The reason was just as Wu Geng herself said, she had not been recognized on the road of writing, and the manuscripts she submitted had never passed the writing competition, and she had suffered continuous setbacks.

Most people would have given up long ago after suffering so many setbacks…That setback might be having your writing criticized, being rejected in an essay competition for the first time, or being stuck in a writing competition and unable to continue writing…The reasons for giving up are as numerous as stars, and the opportunities to give up come one after another. There are countless people who have given up because of this. That is why it is so rare to find people who have failed so many times but still persist and are still full of enthusiasm.

So there actually didn't need any more reasons for Li Nian to look at Wu Geng with new eyes. He felt that this girl was already a very impressive person.

Li Nian said that Wu Geng was special, which might have been taken as a joke by Wu Geng herself, but Li Nian actually sincerely believed so, not because of her eccentric and eccentric personality, but because of her commendable resilience. It is common to give up halfway, but it is particularly rare to stick to something.

Such a stubborn guy would not be easily discouraged. He has become accustomed to loneliness and has experienced many failures. He has long been accustomed to it... Wu Geng has been a little sensitive recently and has been broken from time to time. Li Nian can guess that it is related to himself and Kasumigaoka.

People can get used to darkness, provided they have never seen the light.

Wu Geng could have accepted her failure and weakness for granted, provided that there was no real successful person around her to stimulate her.

Why is it that the debut that is so unattainable for me can be easily achieved by others, why is it that the story that I cannot write well can be easily created by others, why is it that the success that I cannot get can be easily achieved by others.

——It is not surprising that this dark thought that reflects ugly jealousy appears, because it is human nature. There is no human being who is not jealous. Li Nian’s own mind has also been circling countless dirty thoughts. Li Nian knows that Wu Geng has been greatly stimulated by the sudden appearance of himself and Kasumigaoka, the two outstanding authors, and he is sure that these thoughts must have occupied Wu Geng’s heart.

Just think about it, it doesn’t matter. Turn jealousy into grief and anger, and then turn grief and anger into motivation - it is possible for the fifth one to do it, but it is inevitable that he will feel a little anxious because of it.

That anxiety is inevitable. The gap is there. Anyone with a little bit of ambition would find it hard to ignore it. It is even more difficult for a rather arrogant guy like Wu Geng to accept. That anxiety cannot be wiped out by a few meaningless words of consolation or vague possibilities.

Moderate pressure can make people more focused... but it is obvious that Wu Geng has felt excessive pressure due to all this anxiety and has lost his confidence, which is bad.

Li Nian knew this very well, and what she knew even better was that the best way to relieve the pressure was to taste the sweetness of success. This was also what Li Nian had told Wu Geng, the sooner the better.

If you want to be confident, you need the support of certain conditions. The prerequisite for confidence is indeed to have ability and achievements.

Wu Geng needs to debut successfully.

Wu Geng can debut successfully.

Li Nian will work hard to help her make her debut successfully.

Until now, Li Nian has always felt that writing is a personal matter. He believes that if a person wants to go a long way on this path, he should give priority to improving his abilities, learn to think independently, accumulate more experience, learn more skills, and develop good habits... It is a process that does not need to be rushed, and there is no need to rush. There is no rush to make a debut or not. When the ability is reached, he will naturally be able to write a book that can pass the essay competition.

But now it seems that it doesn't matter if he is in a hurry. Li Nian decided that this time he could pay more attention to Wu Geng's book, which he participated in the writing contest, so that Wu Geng's entry can have a higher degree of completion.

He originally planned to just give some suggestions and let Wu Geng revise it himself, to help Wu Geng improve a work by guiding a person to think independently. The final revision will depend on her own writing skills.

Li Nian still does not plan to participate in the specific writing and revision, but has decided to provide guidance on every detail.

The short answer is...

Forget nm's happy education, I want high-intensity cramming education!

Wu Geng had no idea that Li Nian had already started to arrange things for him. He was laughing pretentiously, "You can praise me more."

The otakus followed suit and started to make a noise.

——"Of course, once the fifth update boss makes a move, it won't be easy to take him down! Are a bunch of trash who can write my True-style fantasy stories about another world worthy of being the shoes of our Chiba's Black Cat God?"

——"Come on, come on! We're waiting for you to bring glory to Daqianye!"

——"Write a good book that is worth reading... By the way, where has it been published? Let me check it out."

"…I can't show it to you guys yet. I'll show it to you guys after I've revised it." Wu Geng actually still had a sense of shame. He felt embarrassed when he heard that he really had to show his writing to a few people. He felt pressure from the admiring eyes of a few otakus. After making such a boast, he didn't dare to show his [first draft] to a few people. He suddenly pointed at Li Nian and said, "Compared to me, this guy is the real boss. I'm still struggling in the essay contest of the small library, while others have already passed the essay contest of the Phoenix Library, won the Excellence Award, and are highly expected by the editors."

Here it comes again. Why is she still afraid to show her writing to the people around her? How many people have seen it after posting it online?

Li Nian saw that this guy was diverting firepower. He had seen this trick before at Kasumigaoka Hill.

I know that's because Wu Geng doesn't want to disappoint people, and it's also proof that Wu Geng has become somewhat familiar with some of the otakus.

Facing the sudden looks from several brothers, Li Nian shrugged and admitted: "Yes, I completed my debut before this guy, so you can respect me a little more."

When this was mentioned, An Yi also became excited, pointing at Li Nian and giving him a thumbs up, and then commented sharply: "I read it, God, what a good book it is."

——"I've noticed something from listening to you guys talking. So, Brother Li has actually made his debut and become a professional author?"

——"Since Ren said so, then it must be really well written?"

——"As expected, he is the most powerful man in Sobu High School. His talent in both literature and martial arts is not exaggerated."

The goal of shifting the focus of the fifth update was indeed achieved. The otakus are not fools. There is still a gap between not debuting and actually debuting. They also understand the value of the Phoenix Library Essay Contest Excellence Award.

"Brothers, if you want to support me, you can help me sell my book after it's on the shelves. Of course, if you don't like it, you can criticize me." Li Nian laughed, but changed the subject: "By the way, An Yi, speaking of things that are almost finished, I've almost finished the main storyline of our game."

An Yi was just about to continue to spread the greatness of God to people, so that they would also join God's followers... but when he heard Li Nian mention this, his attention was immediately diverted, and his face lit up: "You're almost done?!"

Li Nian has been filling in the gaps whenever he has time these days. He has been completing the main storyline according to schedule and is now entering the final stage.

"Of course I will finish it within the promised time. I will send it to you first. After you have read it and feel there is no problem, I will give it to you to read."

"I believe--"

"Don't believe me. I don't believe myself when I'm writing a game script for the first time. An Yi, as a game producer, you have the right and responsibility to make changes. Do you understand? If you think something is wrong, tell me and I'll make the changes. If you need to add something, tell me and I'll write it." Li Nian reminded him, "You should never keep silent when you find a problem."

"...That's right." An Yi thought about it and felt that everyone was working hard. As a producer, she couldn't appear to be doing nothing, so she reported her work progress: "I am also studying the construction of the official website and thinking about the promotion channels for the game. For the time being, I will release the production news on my blog, which is still quite popular. I also have a few other promotion ideas. But it's really a pipe dream to promote the game without something in hand. I still have some ideas about the promotion of the game in Japan, but I have no idea about the promotion in mainland China as you mentioned before. I don't understand the network environment there at all. It is said that if it is put on sbeam, it can be sold to users there, right? But what kind of gal can sell it there?"

Li Nian gave a straightforward answer: "18+."

“We make games for all ages!”

Because of this, the difficulty of making money will increase sharply, producer...

"Tsk." Li Nian smacked his lips blatantly to express his dissatisfaction, but still gave some normal advice: "In short, as long as the plot is okay, the CG is good, it is fully localized, and the price is reasonable, it is likely to sell well in mainland China. I will do the localization part. If all the above conditions are met, after the game is released and has a good reputation, it should be able to gain sales in a small circle through word of mouth."

Although it is another world, the culture is common. Li Nianyou used a ladder to access domestic websites and did some research. She knew that there was a precedent of this kind of galgame type of game selling well in the mainland.

Galgame...or the larger text adventure game genre, although niche, has a group of audiences both in Japan and across the sea. The circle is small, but conversely, good works spread quickly in a small circle.

Li Nian is confident that he can localize the game well - he plans to rewrite the plot directly in Chinese. It is better to say that he thinks that is something that is easier to do than writing in Japanese.

Li Nian sincerely believes that if a good galgame can be made, it can be sold in mainland China by listing it on sbeam after completing the Chinese translation.

It is called a small circle, but compared with the large circles of other game themes, the total number of people is not small and the audience is quite large.

Of course, their club must really make a good game in order for it to sell well. If they end up making a bad game, it is recommended to just give up the mainland market and not make such useless efforts.

An Yi was stunned by these numerous restrictions, but she also understood that what Li Nian said was not an exaggeration, because it was actually the same in Japan. She smiled bitterly and said, "It sounds really difficult... Then, besides waiting for word-of-mouth to spread naturally, are there any channels for us to further promote the game in the mainland?"

"The easiest way is to spend money on publicity and promotion, such as posting on Tieba, getting tweets from influencers, having anchors live broadcast, having up-loaders post related videos, or having push notifications on platforms, etc...."

An Yi also understood this and frowned: "...This way of spending money, relying only on half-baked research, can easily go to waste like watering. If the publicity is not delivered to the right audience, it will be a loss."

"I also know that my research is half-baked. I think it's better to leave all the work of Lingling to professionals - just find a distributor and ask professionals to help us with publicity and promotion." Li Nian also knew that his understanding of mainland publicity channels was only half-baked, which was not enough to support him to really take charge of publicity and promotion. He had long been thinking about paying others to do the publicity.

“…About how much it will cost.”

"We need to investigate further. What I can think of now is to contact those publishers who have successfully sold games like ours in mainland China. Anyway, should we ask them first? Shouldn't it cost money to ask?" Li Nian added: "Of course, that time is definitely not now. It would be too stupid to look for a promotional channel with a game that has not been seen yet."

Li Nian said that he would pay for the entire game project himself, which had been approved by An Yi. But when it came to actually spending money to find a publisher to promote the game, An Yi knew that it would definitely cost a lot of money. He was a little hesitant about this, but he didn't object in the end. He was silent for a while before saying, "I know a little bit about the promotion of games in Japan, but I have no idea what the situation is in mainland China. Can you please investigate it, Li Nian, and compile some information for me?"

This was a troublesome matter. An Yi was asking Li Nian to do it. The latter did not hesitate at all. He knew that there was no one more suitable in the club except himself. He had been planning to do this anyway, so he simply nodded and said "OK." He then said, "You can think about these things slowly. You should think about how to make the game first."

"That's right. No matter what, it all depends on the quality of the game..."

Chapter 378: Action Design Plan of Martial Arts Instructor

The content of the conversation between these people was beyond the knowledge scope of high school students, and there was a very serious atmosphere. The otaku friends were all tactful and did not join in the fun. They just watched quietly from the side and did not interrupt. Only after they seemed to have finished talking about this topic did they ask out of curiosity.

They are all friends with similar interests and hobbies. These people are really interested in the relevant content. An Yi is also happy to talk to them, half-boasting about the game plan, which naturally caused bursts of exclamation. Then more questions were thrown to Li Nian, who was responsible for the script in the plan. The latter felt that there was not much to say about herself. After a few words, she changed the topic back to eating, drinking and having fun.

Single guys who don't have girlfriends and like to be alone are all experts in killing time. They all have their own tricks on how to make themselves comfortable on weekdays. Li Nian also learned some information about good games and delicious restaurants from his brothers. He felt that his humble attitude towards learning was very valuable.

There were many things that Wu Geng cared about in the chat, and she could join in the conversation from time to time.

It's quite pleasant to have like-minded people chatting while doing things like this.

During this time, there were messages on Line from seniors Kasumigaoka and Sawamura in the club group chat, saying that they would not come to the club room today.

During the school festival, the art club that Sawamura belongs to also has corresponding activities. No matter how much he slacks off during the weekdays, he is indeed an excellent member that the art club uses to save face... One of them, this year a world-class painter Shiina Mashiro transferred in. The art club seems to be planning to make a big splash during the school festival with these two people as the core and organize activities around them. Even a lazy guy like Sawamura can't put it off, it seems he has to get busy...

Li Nian just hoped that she could also remember the illustrations for her book "Magic Contract"... No, by now Li Nian had an idea of ​​what kind of lazy guy Sawamura was, and felt that one-sided waiting was not a good idea at all.

So I still reminded him: "Don't forget my illustrations - if you still delay until it's absolutely necessary, I will really put a curse on you."

"Don't scare me, you devil! I'll remember that! Oh, by the way, speaking of that, can you prepare the [scene] I need first?"

It was about Li Nian being able to visualize various immersive scenes to assist Sawamura in painting. Li Nian had already discussed the details with Sawamura, so there was actually nothing to prepare. Li Nian's reply was "It can be provided at any time."

Although the third-year candidates did not organize any activities during the school festival, the senior students had already obtained the recommendation qualifications, so their college matters were secured and they did not have to prepare for the exams. However, Kasumi Shiko had to prepare for a new book. Although writing a book could be done anywhere, the younger students were busy with the school festival now, and Kasumigaoka was too lazy to go to the club room and said that she was going home to work first.

It is worth mentioning that for some reason she @咕! (I will never postpone it) - Li Nian's ID, and said, "See you this weekend."

Did he mean to come to Sakurasou to visit Shiina this weekend? Li Nian didn't take it seriously.

After seeing the message, Aki glanced at Kato who was putting up decorations over there and said, "Looking at this situation, it seems that everyone doesn't have much free time after school during this school festival."

"Then we can only gather everyone when necessary during this period." Li Nian said, "We don't have to gather in the club room during after-school club activities. We can find a restaurant outside, or just come to Sakurasou."

"Sakurasou?" An Yi's eyes lit up, remembering that senior Misaki also lived there. He also heard that this animation producer was making an animation short film based on Li Nian's "Magic Contract". In fact, he wanted to visit Sakurasou and ask about the relevant situation. He thought it was an opportunity, but he was a little hesitant: "Is this okay? It won't disturb others?"

"Someone has already disturbed us, so it doesn't matter if a few more people come." Sawamura and Kasumigaoka have already visited Sakurasou and are familiar with each other there. Amaki has also met everyone in Sakurasou before... It doesn't matter whether they are acquaintances or not. Although Sakurasou doesn't have a good reputation in school, none of them have social disorders. Well, Kamiigusa Misaki is not one of them. Hers is not called social disorder, hers is called social awesomeness.

Thinking of this, Li Nian couldn't help but add, "Perhaps you are worried about being disturbed. In that case, Sakurasou is indeed not a good place to hold a meeting."

"Don't say that. I really want to see Misaki-senpai again."

"……All right."

Li Nian also knew that it was called a meeting for discussion, but in fact it was just a gathering, where they could chat, gossip, eat, drink, have fun, and discuss business at the same time. Including Li Nian himself suggesting that everyone gather at Sakurasou with the idea of ​​having a meal together.

"Sakurasou..." Gogen muttered. She had seen Shiina from Sakurasou and her external brain Kanda before, but she didn't know the other people in Sakurasou.

"They are good people too." Li Nian said, thinking that she was a little worried about the bad reputation of Sakurasou caused by senior classmate Ren and the alien Misaki.

"I know." Wu Geng snorted, "People always have boring prejudices against talented people."

It's not prejudice in a sense...

"When you, An Nian, finish the main plot of the script, we will need to discuss it together. Let's gather at Sakurasou then." An Yi followed the topic and decided on the matter directly: "It's getting late today, let's all go back first, and Kato and I will tell Kato later."

So no one went to the club today. After the class's cultural festival preparation activities were over, everyone went home.

After buying some food and returning to Sakurasou, Li Nian prepared a sumptuous meal as usual. When the meal was finally served, Li Nian found an unfamiliar beautiful woman with long black hair sitting next to him. Her aura seemed familiar, but her face seemed strange, and he was confused for a moment.

The other party saw Li Nian, glanced over, and casually greeted: "Hey, gorilla."

The familiar attitude and address made Li Nian stunned for a moment, and he asked tentatively: "Uh, who is this?"

Kanda and Aoyama sat there with stiff expressions, looking up and down at this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in Sakurasou, but they had already known him before and told Li Nian: "This is Akasaka Ryunosuke."

"...Who are you talking about?" Li Nian thought he had heard it wrong?

Kanda understood Li Nian's reaction at this time: "When I first heard him introduce his name, I was just as confused as you, Li Nian, but he is indeed the resident of Room 102 in Sakurasou."

"You, Ryunosuke Akasaka?" Li Nian looked at the stranger.

That girl... upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the boy with Adam's apple. At this moment, he rolled his eyes, as if he was too lazy to explain.

He was too lazy to answer, but Li Nian squinted his eyes and confirmed his presence. This was the ultimate hikikomori resident of Room 102. "I didn't expect that I would meet the last roommate of Sakurasou after such a long time. You actually dared to come out of that door? Will the sun rise from the west tomorrow?"

"My attendance rate is not good enough." The handsome boy had a cold look on his face and answered briefly.

"He's the one who's been attending for two-thirds of the semester," explained Jin, a long-time resident of Sakurasou. Misaki on the other side didn't show any surprised reaction, she was already wolfing down her food without paying any attention to anyone.

"So you're still thinking about graduation." Li Nian sighed. He thought this guy had no intention of graduating from high school. Anyway, he cleared his throat and greeted this roommate whose real face he finally got to see: "Hello Akasaka, I'm Li Nian, the newcomer to Sakurasou. My name is not Gorilla."

"I know you, gorilla, and you know me, gorilla. There is no need to reintroduce yourself."

Li Nian and Akasaka actually communicated through social software and were quite familiar with each other, so they were definitely not strangers.

"But this is the first time we've met. Also, if you don't change that name, I don't mind carrying out my previous plan to beat you up via the Internet."

"What!" Ryunosuke, who had always had a cold expression, changed his expression and protested, "Violence is the worst behavior! And you said you wouldn't hold me responsible as long as I don't peek at what's on your computer!"

"Yes, but I guess you are still secretly monitoring my computer data."

Akasaka's expression was stiff, and he honestly corrected the address: "I understand, Li Nian-san."

Teacher Chihiro was just drinking on the side. She was too lazy to speak out when her students were threatened with violence. She still looked like she was totally different from a teacher. However, she still took the responsibility to teach her students: "Akasaka, you should learn some rules and etiquette. Koharu complained to me that you were eating tomatoes and typing on your laptop in her math class without paying attention to anyone."

"This is too much." Li Nian imagined the scene and glanced at him with contempt.

Qianxun laughed: "You, Li Nian, who never listened to the lectures in class and just read random books, are birds of the same flock." Teacher Xiaochun had complained to her about Li Nian more than once.
