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

An Yi was speechless, his eyes wandering, and he stammered: "Although it seems to be true..."

"…It's not that I care whether I was deceived or not after accompanying you to this extent. What I mean is that I am just a tool for you, but you should still prepare the minimum compensation when asking others for help."

"So didn't I tell you that I had no intention of deceiving Senior Kamiigusa?!"

"I'm just reminding you to follow this principle in the future and prepare the reward before asking for help." Li Nian smiled and said, "Anyway, you are spending the money of the unscrupulous investors, so there is no need to feel so bad."

"I know, I know. You've worked so hard to be so rich. I will try my best to spend money so that the boss can make some money."

An Yi was almost fed up with Li Nian reminding him every other day that the club was funded by wealthy dog ​​owners to support great causes. In fact, he was already thinking seriously about how to spend the money. His eyes moved to the laptop and began to look for relevant business cases, and then calculated how much compensation he should pay to ask Senior Igusa for help.

In fact, although Li Nian didn't want An Yi to deceive the stupid alien and take advantage of other people's labor and fame for free, she didn't think it was too much trouble to negotiate with that person. She could just go and ask directly.

Unlike Aki who was pessimistic about the possibility of getting help from Senior Igusa, he was actually sure that the alien would not shirk his responsibility - as long as Aki asked for help in his own name.

After all, although Senior Kamiigusa's behavior and thinking patterns are too eccentric to the point of being irritating, she is generally a very loyal person and is the type who is especially willing to help her friends. When she was preparing a project review for Kanda, she was so enthusiastic that she annoyed him.

What's more, Li Nian felt that his script should be able to arouse the interest of Senior Kamiigusa to a certain extent.

If An Yi went to negotiate with Kamiigusa in his name and with the script, just to ask her to make a PV promotional video for the game and post it on her account, Li Nian thought it should be a sure thing.

Li Nian actually didn't mind his friends using his name to negotiate, as that was a normal way of utilizing his connections. However, he had to follow the principle of mutual benefit. When asking someone to do something for him, he had to prepare the remuneration first. Once the remuneration was prepared, everything else would be easy to discuss.

Li Nian thought about it and reminded An Yi: "On the premise that the reward is ready, you should greet Senior Ren before you go to negotiate with Senior Igusa. It would be best if he is present when you discuss this matter."

"Oh, that's Kamiigusa-senpai's childhood sweetheart, right? Indeed, in addition to being the script writer for the animation, that person seems to be her agent as well, responsible for Kamiigusa-senpai's external contacts?"

Although Amaki was not very familiar with Mitaka Jin, he knew that all of Kamiigusa's animated shorts were written by this person. The scripts were mediocre and did not seem to be worthy of Kamiigusa Misaki's animation. He had also heard more about Mitaka Jin's notorious reputation in school. However, at the welcome dinner for Aoyama's move into Sakurasou, he and Isayama were called by Li Nian and met most of the people in Sakurasou, but had not seen this humanoid self-propelled artillery. It was only today that he got to know him and chatted with him for a few words. After actual contact, he felt that Mitaka Jin did not live up to his bad reputation. He was a very gentle and easy-going person, but he was so handsome that it made people a little irritated.

"No... Actually, Senior Ren is not an agent. He is more like a guardian to Senior Kamiigusa... Never mind, it's not important. What's important is that if he wasn't there, you probably wouldn't be able to keep up with Senior Kamiigusa's brain and it would be hard to reach an agreement."

Li Nian was sure that Kamiigusa had no concept of money in her mind, and it was even more difficult for her to focus on business cooperation projects that she was not interested in. Although Senior Ren always emphasized that he was not the agent of this talented animation producer, but just an ordinary childhood sweetheart, he did have to take on the responsibilities of Senior Kamiigusa's agent on weekdays and become her channel for external contacts.

Otherwise, let the aliens negotiate with humans? There is no way they can negotiate.

"Oh, oh." An Yi also realized the importance of having Senior Ren present when she wanted to talk to Senior Igusa about something.

"It's not just Kamiigusa. There are many talented people in Sakurasou. If you pay them, you can find a lot of them to help you."

It's an opportunity. Since Amaki has come to Sakurasou and mentioned the matter of Kamiigusa Misaki, Li Nian simply reminded him that there are more guys around him who can be used.

"Akasaka Ryunosuke is a pretty awesome programmer. You can consult him about the game program architecture and engine usage. It seems that Kato has noticed this and is learning from him. As for the painter, Shiina is also a resource you can find. It is easier to ask that kid for help than to ask Senior Igusa for help. You also saw that she agreed to Sawamura without hesitation. If you prepare the collector's edition pineapple bun, there is a 99% chance that you can persuade her. That guy is much more reliable than Sawamura and is very hardworking. Character CG may not be Shiina's area of ​​expertise, but you can ask her for backgrounds. However, she is also very busy. She is in Senior Zhou Geng's "Love Metronome". Be careful not to add too much burden to others. Also, you have met Nanami Aoyama with a ponytail. She is a child who aspires to be a voice actor. I have prepared a tailor-made role for her in the script. I will entrust her with the dubbing. If you want to find voice actors for other characters, you can also see if she has any connections and ask her for relevant information."

An Yi smiled and said, "Oh, Ah Nian is indeed my good friend. You think the same as me. I was wondering if I could ask these big guys to help through you, Ah Nian."

That's right, Sawamura and Kasumigaoka were deceived by Amaki in this way. After seeing the abilities of the guys like Sakurasou, how could Amaki not want to use Li Nian's name again to get in touch with these people?

Li Nian knew that this guy might have thought more than she did, so she shrugged and emphasized the important point: "The important thing is..."

"Prepare a small amount of money as compensation, I understand." An Yi waved her hand and finished what Li Nian wanted to say, dissatisfied: "It seems that I am really used to taking advantage of other people's labor for free. Didn't I have no choice but to write blank checks before? At that time, I also thought about bearing the basic production costs and providing a comfortable working environment for you as much as possible. When the game is ready, I will divide the sales volume with you as compensation... This is all a mere worker can do."

"...Well, I don't mean to blame you. I've always thought you were amazing in many ways. It's surprising that you can be so capable as a mere high school student."

An Yi couldn't be happy after hearing what Li Nian said.

"…I'm really glad that you can understand my difficulties, Anian. After all, we are both high school students. Anian, your standards are simply outrageous. You are an exorcist and a writer. You are already a powerful adult, and you are not short of money. I thought that in your eyes, it would be ridiculous for me to struggle to promote an immature plan."

“…I do find it quite ridiculous.”

"I really don't deny it!"

"But this doesn't conflict with the fact that I think you're amazing and that what you do is of great significance."

Li Nian said calmly: "Finding a clear goal at a young age, with great enthusiasm, and working hard with limited ability is a very meaningful thing in itself. I think such a life is bright and valuable, and very interesting. Regardless of success or failure, this process of hard work will definitely become a person's valuable experience, and it is worth it in the long run..."

Li Nian paused slightly and continued.

"If it really works, then it will be a valuable gain from what you see at the time. Generally speaking, the purpose is good, the direction is right, the process is fun, and the result is profitable, then it is undoubtedly worth doing for you and worth my promotion... Not only you, An Yi, but other people are making similar efforts for their own goals. I see it all, agree with you, and understand you. Since you are my friends, I will support things like this that are good for you, and I will do my best to help you if needed - so feel free to use me and just do it. Worrying about this and that is unnecessary trouble for me."

An Yi was stunned. Li Nian had emphasized similar things to him more than once. However, today, Li Nian displayed his terrifying ability as an exorcist. He made a lot of preparations and put his ideas into practice, which made him more deeply appreciate Li Nian's serious attitude towards this matter.

"…We are so lucky to have such a friend."

"Each each other."

"What about you, Ah Nian? You seem to be too selfless, don't you have any selfish motives?"

"Who said that? Hasn't my selfish desire been greatly satisfied? I get to spend time with like-minded people happily every day, write what I want to write, put in some effort, do some fun things, and help my friends get closer to their goals and grow. It also helps my own career advance in the process. It can be said that I kill two birds with one stone and achieve a win-win cooperation. Is there anything better than this in the world? I feel like I've won so much."

"...That's true." An Yi said with emotion: "If you think about it carefully, what kind of powerful people have gathered around you, An Nian? It feels like this group of people have been involved in all aspects of creation, and any project can be completed."

"You're right. Why don't you start a company?"

"Haha, starting a company? That seems like a good idea." An Yi imagined that a company formed by a group of people like this would be very interesting.

"Well, but I don't like managing people. I hate troublesome things. I don't want to be a boss. I think it's enough to be a behind-the-scenes financier. It's more realistic to let you, An Yi, take charge."

"Oh! Let me be the CEO? You really think highly of me, my friend. Then the animation department of that company will be in charge of Umiigosa Misaki, the programming department will be in charge of Akasaka Ryunosuke, the art department will be handed over to Eriri, and the game department will be given to Kanda classmate who aspires to make games. Then the project proposal I came up with and the writing team led by you and senior Kasumigaoka will be in charge of the script. It will be a one-stop service of first releasing the game and then the animation. The only problem is how to sell the product. I wonder if you know any big guys who can provide other cooperation. Maybe our company will become a otaku culture business empire in a minute?"

Anyway, imagining the future doesn't cost money or effort, so An Yi followed Li Nian's thoughts with great interest and started to envision a future similar to Peach.

Li Nian hesitated for a moment and said, "... Well, now that you mention it, I do know a senior executive of the Nura Group. It seems that their industries are quite extensive. I wonder if Lu Sheng is interested in games, animations, novels, and related IP derivative products. Maybe he is a good partner."

"...Oh! I've heard of Nura Family! They're very famous in Chiba! They seem to have been a yakuza organization before... But in the past few decades, they've transformed and developed into a large conglomerate with various industries spread all over the country. I've worked in a convenience store under their umbrella... Wait." An Yi saw Li Nian's serious expression and suddenly realized that he wasn't joking: "A Nian, you, are you serious?"

"Ah? Of course I'm serious." Li Nian looked disdainful, as if to say, "Why would I joke with you?"

"…are you serious about starting a company?"

"Yes, if you want to gather a group of people to work on a project, it will eventually turn out like this. With such talented people as employees, I think there are many projects to work on, whether it's games or animations, you can try it. Instead of working in different places, relying on others, being told what to do, and doing things you don't like, it's better to start a company with my financial support to gather everyone together, work on projects freely, and manage the IP in your own hands. This will prevent you from being unemployed and unable to find a job after graduation, and you may even make some money."

"But... the company is... too big."

"...Don't take the company too seriously. There are all kinds of small companies in the world. It's better to say that the company is the basic carrier of the project. If you want to gather a group of people to do something, you have to set up a company in the end...I didn't say I was going to build a business empire. I just wanted to try to find a group of young people to start a small company and do something to support everyone. With a few tens of millions of yen in start-up capital, it should be no problem to test the waters. If it fails, we can disband, so that we won't lose money and have no money to eat."

When An Yi heard that Li Nian had already thought about the losses in case the company's business failed, she understood that Li Nian really wanted to give it a try.

"..."

"Why do you look so confused?" Li Nian flipped the frying pan over and put it on a plate, tossed it aside, covered it with tin foil to keep it warm, and began to hurriedly prepare the next dish: "An Yi, you too, think ahead. Your future will probably be related to otaku culture. You can either work for someone else in their company, or start your own company. Why not work for me and be a boss under me?" Li Nian said with a sly smile, "Then you can enjoy your galgame for the rest of your life."

"......!" An Yi was obviously persuaded and began to daydream: "Opening my own company and making the galgame I want to make, that kind of life doesn't seem so bad..."

"...Your life aspirations are really low."

"No, but!" An Yi suddenly came to her senses and forced herself to concentrate: "That's a long way in the future, don't think about it now! Let's get results first, and make the game first!"

Actually, it’s not far away.

Li Nian felt that the game project of Anyi, for which he had almost finished writing the script, had a good chance of being completed and could be used as the company's first operational project.

Although he always said before that he had no interest in galgames, now that he has spent a lot of time and effort to complete the main storyline script, he naturally cares about it. He hopes that the game project that includes the fruits of his labor can grow bigger, and he wants to set up a company to run it seriously.

Li Nian did not want a text adventure game based on the main storyline script written by himself to only sell a few thousand copies of the CD at the Comiket exhibition to make a profit, and the final achievement was just to circulate in the small circle of otakus and not enter the field of vision of more people.

That's neither profitable nor interesting.

Either don't do it, or do it seriously.

Make the game a hot topic, further develop it into comics, animations, novels, derive various linkages, be seen by more and more people, and finally turn it into a valuable IP... Although that is a beautiful dream that Aki often has, and was criticized by Sawamura as wishful thinking, in fact, there is nothing wrong with working towards this goal.

For this purpose, incorporation may be necessary.

...However, as An Yi said, it is indeed too early to think about it now. It will not be too late to talk about it after there are results.

Chapter 406: Actors in Place

Qingshan came back panting, carrying large and small bags of things. He looked extremely tired, but he had an excited expression on his face.

Li Nian took the materials and curiously asked her why she was so happy, and got an honest answer from the girl.

“It’s fun to spend money.”

Li Nian has always been willing to spend money on preparing ingredients, and what's more, today she has to entertain not only the people from Sakurasou, but also everyone from the club, so the preparation of ingredients is naturally of higher standards. Although Aoyama often helps Li Nian go shopping, but today she has to prepare two meals a day, and the money spent on buying ingredients for so many people is already the largest amount of money Aoyama has ever seen in his life. She threw out more than a dozen Fukuzawa Yukichi tickets from others, and brought back more things than she could hold with both hands. It can be said that her female shopping desire was fully satisfied, which of course was very satisfying.

Of course, she didn't forget to take the change.

Qingshan was obviously a little dizzy at this time. He reluctantly handed the still bulging wallet back to Li Nian, and said with a blushing face: "This is the feeling of being rich. So happy."

In Li Nian's opinion, it was just an ordinary amount spent on food and drink. Compared with buying a house, a car, or medical treatment, it was not a big expense... But she also knew that this child was the type who was afraid of being poor. The tuition for the voice actor training school was paid in installments, so it was probably rare for him to spend so much money at one time.

"It doesn't matter. Qingshan will become a rich man in the future."

"Really? I can't imagine it at all. I heard that even if you really become a voice actor, newcomers don't earn much..."

“…People always have to have good thoughts.”

"That's true." Qingshan was really tired after carrying so many things along the way: "I'll take a break first." As she said this, she sat down beside him, panting.

"Thank you for your hard work. If I had known, I wouldn't have been lazy and went with Aoyama-san, leaving you to carry so many things by yourself." An Yi felt quite guilty.

"It's okay, it's okay! Amaki is a guest of Sakurasou, how can we ask a guest to run errands? Besides, I don't have any other special skills, I'm just pretty strong, this bit of labor is just for physical exercise." Qingshan proudly made a gesture to emphasize his arm muscles: "I can't help but be fed by Li Nian until I'm fat and white, which makes me feel uneasy. He also takes away all the small cleaning chores. I wish I had more opportunities to exercise."

Li Nian smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that Qingshan, you have a sense of crisis when you see your weight increasing every morning."

"Nonsense! I haven't gotten taller!" Qingshan muttered, "If I just take off two more pieces of clothing..."

Over there, Li Nian teased Qingshan with a smile, but the idea of ​​opening a company in his heart became more and more determined. Not only An Yi, but Li Nian also wanted to use his own ability to provide a place for these lovely guys in the future. Providing jobs and solving the most basic livelihood problem is the best way. If he can use his own strength, funds and connections to help everyone make some money and live a richer life, it would be even better.

This idea took root in his heart and began to sprout. Li Nian took it to heart and decided to ask Nura Rikuo when he had the chance to see if he could learn something about this.

Sufficient ingredients have been purchased, and Li Nian's cooking speed has increased. She handles various things at the same time. She is like a kitchen team by herself, and the lunch for so many people is completed in time when it is time for dinner.

He called out everyone in Feng Jue, including Isayama.

There were too many people this time, and there was not enough space for everyone to sit around a large table. Li Nian simply put various dishes on the table and placed bowls and chopsticks next to it, allowing the group to take what they wanted in a buffet style. People sat everywhere, enjoying the delicious food while continuing their heated discussions about their respective work content in twos and threes.

After Li Nian worked hard to prepare the feast, he couldn't relax and have a quiet meal. All kinds of problems would be thrown to him for help.

An Yi found some promotional plans and came to Li Nian to ask him whether he thought they were reliable. If some of them required expenses, he would also confirm with Li Nian whether the budget was within the affordable range.

Kamiigusa had many new ideas and wanted to add new elements to the subsequent "performance", so he asked Li Nian if she could do it. Among them, there were all kinds of meaningless things that contained this guy's selfish motives, such as the specific style and color of the goddess' panties, but he got Li Nian's impatient reply, "Others don't wear them."

In addition, there will be new elements that Li Nian agrees with and thinks are good to add. For example, Kamiigusa wants to add some divine servants to set off the atmosphere and support the goddess. Li Nian thinks this is possible. He can summon some human-shaped "phantoms", put on the clothes of priests, and perform a fixed set of behavioral patterns to achieve this goal.

Li Nian also came up with a new plot design because of this. Later, when senior Ren and senior Kasumigaoka brought the script to him for confirmation and further asked for his opinion, Li Nian added this design and cooperated in making overall modifications to the script.

Ryunosuke Akasaka had previously made a set of action models using video footage shot with a high-speed camera. He was still looking at his laptop while eating, and would ask Li Nian to confirm the accuracy of the action model. He wanted to correct many parts, so he needed Li Nian to demonstrate them in slow motion one by one. This was a huge project, and it gave Li Nian a headache just looking at it. He did not intend to respond to his request for help temporarily and intermittently, so he asked Akasaka to further collect video footage of the official performance, organize it as close to the full second, and then he would cooperate with him to make relevant corrections.

Shiina had already completed a sketch based on the scene he had seen in the illusion before, [The Devil King in Trouble Overlooking the World], and came with Sawamura to let Li Nian confirm the details. Shiina's painting was as complete as ever, and the devil in the painting was lifelike, and the charm and various details were indeed captured extremely accurately. If there was any imperfection, it was the lights of thousands of houses in the background. This might be a problem that the completion degree could not be high in a short period of time, but Li Nian believed that this painting could be missing anything, but it should not be missing [the contrast between the king's dejected posture and worried expression and the prosperous scene of the city], and emphasized that Sawamura was the illustrator of his novel, not Shiina. Sawamura replied that "Mashiro's painting has helped me find the key point", not to mention when she and Shiina became closer. Li Nian felt that the key point of Sawamura's words was [I want to paint, but the progress is temporarily zero. ]

Kanda and Kato were discussing learning programming. Both of them were newcomers who had just started learning programming with the help of Akasaka. Surprisingly, Gogen was also discussing related content with them, and obviously knew more than the two newcomers, and what she said was very logical. This reminded Li Nian that the original game programming part of this club seemed to be what Gogen had said she could be responsible for. Now it seems that she really understands programming.

Everyone was eating and chatting, but Isayama didn't care about anything else and was eating very seriously. He ate like a mad starvation monster, which even stunned Aoyama, who was sitting next to the rice cooker. Because Aoyama was sitting next to the rice cooker, he had to keep adding rice to Isayama. After a few times, he simply prepared two bowls to fill them with rice and placed them next to Isayama. He guessed that this senior student might have consumed a lot of energy in the competition with Li Nian and the subsequent training.

Qingshan guessed correctly. Jianshan had consumed a lot of physical strength. After all, she did not have Li Nian's recovery ability. Even though she had recovered for a period of time in Li Nian's special coffin under the influence of the magic, and was blessed by the formation afterwards and gained control of huge energy, the blessing of magic power could only relieve the fatigue of the human body. It could not completely eliminate the huge burden caused by the flow of power in the body. Spiritual power could not be eaten as food to provide the body with consumed nutrients.

Even Li Nian would feel intense fatigue and hunger after the battle, let alone Jianshan. When she left the formation, she lost her blessing, the feeling of strength filling her whole body, and the spiritual power to activate her body's vitality. The fatigue and hunger that had been covered up surged from her whole body to Jianshan's mind. She was really hungry, which was why she ate like a ghost.

Seeing this, Li Nian decisively went to get the spare rice cooker and cooked a pot of rice, otherwise there would definitely not be enough for others.

In this noisy atmosphere, everyone was full and satisfied, but no one wanted to rest. Led by Akasaka, they successively requested to return to the Sealed Temple where the equipment and tools were placed to work. Misaki even directly urged Li Nian to quickly start the formal demonstration of "Demon King vs. Demon God" with Isayama.

"Look at that. Are you in a state where you can start fighting right away?" Li Nian pointed at someone who was slumped on the sofa, holding his slightly bulging belly, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

It was Isayama who was too full to move and felt very tired. She heard Misaki's urging, but waved her hands in discomfort and said weakly, "Can't you see that the beast has made me pregnant? A girl like this has been tortured so much, can you let me rest for a while? I'm dirty too, I need to take a bath."

"Please don't make it seem like I need to go to jail for feeding you delicious food comfortably. You eat too much." Li Nian turned to Misaki and said, "She needs to rest for a while."

"Yes, I think I ate too much." Isayama felt that he seemed to have eaten too much and felt a little uncomfortable, but he blamed Li Nian for it: "It's all your fault. Why did you make so many delicious foods?"

"Oh, right, right, it's my fault that the food was so delicious that you ate too much." Li Nian waved his hand and teleported everyone back to Feng Jue one by one. He frowned and looked at Jian Shan: "Do you really feel like your stomach is upset? Are you feeling bloated and uncomfortable?"

"Yes... Do you have any better idea than to prepare stomach medicine for me?"

"...I can use my magic power to warm you up for a while and promote digestion, but you need to rub it yourself." Li Nian knew that it was not a good idea for a grown man to rub a girl's belly, so he proposed another solution: "I will teach you the magic, and you can rub it yourself?"

Isayama was really feeling a bit uncomfortable, and wanted to accept it as soon as possible if there was a way to relieve it. Hearing the reason for Li Nian's hesitation, he smiled mischievously: "Why, do you feel embarrassed to rub a beautiful girl's belly?"

"...If you don't mind, I certainly won't be embarrassed."

"...Of course I don't mind." As she said this, Isayama was actually a little hesitant and blushed. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that she had made up her mind to let Li Nian see her feminine charm as a big sister. In order to save face in front of the straight man, to stop herself from thinking too much, and to make herself feel less uncomfortable quickly, she simply made up her mind and pulled up her clothes to expose her white belly: "Come and rub it, big man, stop dawdling."

"No need to lift your clothes, idiot." Li Nian looked away.

"...Oh." Isayama quickly put down his clothes, his face turned even redder, but he pretended to be casual and urged: "Anyway, hurry up, what are you waiting for."

Li Nian took a breath, feeling troubled, but without hesitation, she walked over, stretched out her hand, put it on Jianshan's belly, and gently rubbed her belly. At the same time, she gathered her magic power in her palm and delivered it in detail through contact with the skin.

The man's big hands pressed against her belly, stroking and kneading it gently. The touch was obvious even through the clothes, and there was an even more obvious heat coming through his palms. It was not just the warmth from his palms, but also the penetration of magic power - in short, it was a feeling that made people unable to ignore.

Although the bloating and pain were relieved immediately, Li Nian was really just rubbing her belly, using delicate magic to control and promote gastrointestinal movement, without any more tricks, but Jianshan still felt weird. She comforted herself that it was just a belly rub, just like a massage, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Then she noticed that Li Nian deliberately avoided her sight and sat far away, and realized that this man was actually embarrassed to touch a girl's belly. She became playful and said with a smile: "How is it? It feels very comfortable to rub the belly of a beautiful girl."

"Not very good, I feel a little fat."
