There is no guarantee that things in this world will succeed even if you do them, but there is no guarantee that they will succeed if you don’t do them.

So just do it.

……

……

As soon as Kanda left, Senior Ren came to find Li Nian again.

They talked about the progress of the animation production over there, and they had already found excellent painters to distribute the shots to complete them. The key fighting part was given to Misaki herself... and a few excellent painters she knew to complete. In short, the most troublesome painting work had been distributed, and they started working together with many people.

Of course, it was Misaki who provided both the money and the connections.

At this point, Li Nian will not say anything about it, but she has the idea that since she has started spending money, she must do it well.

Senior Ren asked again: "Is your novel going to be published on schedule?"

"...I'll confirm it later."

Li Nian also felt that he had to ask Sawamura about his progress.

If there is no result, let him know that this guy is slacking off...

Then when I see this blonde with twin ponytails tomorrow, I will definitely cast a curse on her.

The kind that made her mind filled with only sexual thoughts... Ugh, she was actually infected by the stupid words this guy said all day long.

It turned her into a workaholic whose mind was only filled with painting.

Of course, Li Nian would not tell her this idea... He had reminded this guy before, more than once.

After Senior Ren left, the Line message Li Nian sent to Sawamura was just a seemingly casual question: "How is the progress of the illustration?"

As for the sentence "If there is no progress, you are doomed", Li Nian no longer wanted to add it.

After a long time without a reply, Li Nian was too lazy to pay more attention to it. He just became more certain of casting a curse on her. After shaking his head, he continued typing.

He was coding until late at night and was almost finishing his progress for the day when he received a belated reply from Sawamura.

Li Nian picked up the phone and saw that it was a compressed file sent directly, named "Sketch"

Add a message.

“Hurry up! Hurry up! I said I’m drawing, so I’m drawing! Hurry up and say yes to my sketch, and then I’ll continue to refine the details and speed up the completion of the illustration.”

So it turns out this guy has made some progress?

Could it be that what was sent was just a newly created folder named "Sketch" with no content?

With this idea of ​​not trusting others at all, Li Nian transferred the file to the computer and unzipped it, and there were actually several highly completed sketches in it.

Li Nian looked at them one by one and couldn't help but widen his eyes and marvel at them.

"... Kashiwagi Eri is really amazing when she gets serious. It's worth the effort I put into preparing all kinds of [scenes] for her, and with the help of Shiina."

Although the sketch given is a semi-finished product that has not been colored yet and the background is not well drawn, the degree of completion is already very high, especially in the key portrait part.

The quality is obvious, and it is an excellent feeling that can be seen at a glance, as if the living characters leap onto the screen, full of verve and lifelike, complementing the background, revealing an indescribable spirituality that is very impressive and can be remembered at a glance.

This is indeed an illustration sketch that has surpassed Kashiwagi Eri's previous level. I think if various details are improved and colored, it will be an even more beautiful painting.

It was worth it for Li Nian and Shiina to help.

The unfinished sketch that Sawamura sent her needed to be confirmed by the original author. Although the tone of the text forbade him to find fault, Li Nian still went through it carefully... In the end, she couldn't find any faults, so she could only reply "yes" and let her continue drawing... No, it was already late at night.

Gu (I will never give up): "Very good, looking at this progress, I don't have to curse you tomorrow."

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde twintails: "??? Are you really planning to cast a curse!?"

Gu (I will never give up): "It hasn't happened yet, don't panic, we can talk about it later when there is a chance."

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde twin ponytails: "Steady as an old dog.jpg"

Gu (I will never do it): "Okay, go to bed early."

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde hair and twin ponytails: "Wake up from your sleep!"

From her appearance, this girl seems to be very excited.

Gu (I won't give up): "I see. Maybe what you need is for me to cast a spell on you that will make you lose your sanity and fall asleep like a dead pig at 12 o'clock?"

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde twin ponytails: "You just rely on your magic skills to threaten others, right? Does knowing magic mean you can do whatever you want?"

Gu (I will never give up): "I'm sorry, but the wizard can really do whatever he wants."

I’m not a tsundere type with blonde twintails: “Whose illustration do you think I stayed up all night to draw?!”

Gu (I will never delay): "As long as I can finish the painting before the deadline, my health is important."

It took a while to get a reply.

I’m not a tsundere type with blonde twintails: “Oh.”

Gu (I won't do it): "Good night."

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde twintails: "Good night."

Chapter 440: The significance of exorcism to Li Nian

Li Nian didn’t know whether the girl with blonde twin ponytails listened to her advice.

But Senior Kasumigaoka must have forgotten her advice intermittently.

I knew about this because Senior Kasumigaoka came again at noon the next day.

It has that unique feeling of not being fully awake after staying up late and then catching up on sleep.

“It’s really interesting.”

As usual, she walked straight into another class. Since no one had left Caijia's seat where she had sat before, she sat directly at Li Nian's desk and said with a smile.

Li Nian pulled himself out of the "Black Book". He originally thought that his idea of ​​having a quiet afternoon had been conveyed to him before, and he thought that he could have a leisurely afternoon, so he was not in a hurry to go to the cafeteria. Now, Kasumigaoka came in a hurry and ran to him after class. It was obvious that he wanted to talk to him about something again.

Caijia hadn't left yet, and the cute boy was packing up. He was the president of the tennis club and had been practicing tennis during his lunch break. Although he had heard about the famous ice beauty coming to see Li Nian and was surprised, he also felt that it was not surprising for someone like Li Nian to be favored by that person. But seeing this scene with his own eyes, he was still quite curious, and was not in a hurry to practice for the time being, and just took a few more glances.

Not only Ayaka, the return of Kasumigaoka naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the class.

"Wow... Hayato is right, Kasumigaoka-senpai really comes to see me every day." Yuigahama's eyes flickered, and endless fantasies unfolded in the girl's brain that was like a flower field: "Just like a girl in love always wants to seize the opportunity to get close to the boy she likes..."

"...Don't you realize the trouble you're causing to others?" Miura felt like her territory was being invaded. Whether before or now, this third-year talent had never even looked at her, making her feel offended. She looked at this scene uncomfortably.

"Oh, isn't it just the feeling of an ordinary friend coming to visit? Although it's a bit strange for an ice beauty to do such a thing." Ye Shan said with a smile.

Over there, Li Nian sighed, closed the black book, and threw it into the desk to make it disappear from everyone's sight.

"I should have said that I wanted to have a good lunch. Please don't disturb me if you don't have anything else."

"I also said that we'll talk about it later if there's anything else."

Kato and Gogen didn't seem surprised at all by this situation, and Aki also came over happily.

Knowing that it would be another noisy afternoon, Li Nian gave up struggling.

"…So you came to talk to me about something serious."

"Well, I went back and studied the games you and Aki recommended, and picked out Clannad, which is the most similar to our game plan, and played it. I found it really interesting."

"And you accidentally played all night? You looked like you forgot my repeated warnings not to stay up late."

“…Sorry.” Kasumigaoka shrank her neck slightly, knowing that she couldn’t hide her tiredness in front of Li Nian. She felt a little embarrassed to be seen to have sat in front of the computer all night.

After being reminded by Li Nian, Xia Zhiqiu actually made up her mind to quit the habit of staying up late.

As a result, when he became interested, he forgot about this matter again. He was indeed playing the game, and his interest gradually grew. He gradually appreciated the charm of a good story, and he was even more eager to revise his script. He forgot about the idea of ​​getting a good night's sleep. At this moment, facing Li Nian's stare, he was a little afraid to face his gaze.

His eyes wandered, but he seemed to be defending himself. He threw a piece of text in his hand and changed the subject, "However, I didn't forget that I was playing games to study how to write game scripts. Not only did I play games, I also referred to other people's writing methods and revised my script. I just wanted to find you to confirm it urgently."

"Alas." Unable to persuade her, Li Nian wondered if the senior sister was the one who was going to cast a spell to force her to go to bed on time. At the same time, she picked up the document from the edge of Kasumigaoka's pleated skirt and said, "Also, can you please not sit on my desk?"

Ayaka picked up her backpack and prepared to leave, saying at the right moment: "Kasumigaoka-senpai, you can sit here."

Kasumigaoka looked at him and said, "Thank you, junior," and sat down without any hesitation.

"This child is a boy." Li Nian, who found out that he was the only one who was blind, was quite gloating and reminded.

"Hmm... huh?!" Kasumigaoka, who had come to her senses, looked at the adorable child in shock, feeling that she had learned something extremely shocking.

"..." Being mistaken for a girl has become the norm. Ayaka smiled bitterly but didn't say much. She waved to a few people and trotted away with her racket.

Hikigaya sat in the corner as usual, looking at this side with dark eyes, quite envious and jealous. He also wanted to be said goodbye by Xiaotian using that cute little animal-like gesture.

This was indeed an important matter. Li Nian opened the text and started reading it. He placed it on the place where Kasumigaoka had just sat. He still felt a warm sensation. It was the fifth watch. He wanted to say something, but he didn't. Li Nian didn't pay any attention to this at all. He had already started reading it by himself, carefully confirming how Kasumigaoka had been modified. Everyone also gathered around him.

Li Nian read ten lines at a glance, quickly and seriously, taking care of the progress of the people behind him without turning the page. After just one glance, he felt that he had gotten much better. He knew that for someone as smart as the senior sister, research would pay off. He smiled and said, "Since you were immediately addicted to the game after actually playing it, it seems that Senior Kasumigaoka has also gradually understood the fun of galgames?"

"Yes, after actually playing it, I feel that it is indeed a carrier that can more directly present the charm of all aspects of the story. It has more direct impacts besides vision and hearing. The feeling of playing is much stronger than reading. The glance and smile of the female characters are presented vividly through CG. There are also excellent voice actors dubbing, and the simple lines can also tell an interesting feeling. It is really interesting to play."

"Yes, that's the feeling." Kato nodded in agreement. She has recently become addicted to the feeling of playing this kind of game. Even girls can feel the terrifying charm of the girls in the game.

"Senior Kasumigaoka, have you also realized the cuteness of my paper-thin wife?" Li Nian nodded with great satisfaction.

"Oh." An Yi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is that so, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

Kasumigaoka was silent for a while, revealing a somewhat unwilling look: "I used to think that the idea of ​​you and Amai taking a beautiful girl from the second dimension as a wife was stupid...but now I think I can understand you a little bit."

"Yeah, then you should also understand why women in the three-dimensional world don't have that charm." Li Nian smiled meaningfully.

Kasumigaoka also said meaningfully: "The woman in my dreams is always beautiful, but unfortunately, I can't touch her. I can't let you hug her."

"It seems like some of the three-dimensional women I'm talking about want me to hug them." Li Nian didn't care.

"If you want to hug me, I can let you do it." Kasumigaoka deliberately puffed out her full chest, causing many of the male compatriots who were secretly watching here to swallow their saliva.

"Ahem." Gogen coughed immediately: "So how is Kasumigaoka-senpai's revision?"

Li Nian had long been immune to Kasumigaoka's harassment, and naturally filtered out some of the words, and said: "Well, the revised script feels right, what do you think, An Yi?"

"On the top floor."

"Just keep writing like this... Just forget about staying up late. I'll remind you this many times."

It only took Kasumigaoka one night to correct his writing style and adapt to the game script. This can be said to be a reflection of his talent. He is an excellent author who knows how to research and learn and adjust himself in a timely manner.

After finishing her business, Kasumigaoka did not leave. She sat down and continued to chat with Li Nian about how to portray female characters with different charms in galgames, while casually responding to Wu Geng who would interrupt their conversation by asking various questions from time to time.

Seeing this, An Yi decisively volunteered to run errands to the cafeteria for everyone, and sent a message to Sawamura while on the way.

The producer of the Great Project: "It seems that lunch gatherings will really become the norm."

I'm not a tsundere type with blonde twin tails! : "??? Didn't that guy say we wouldn't get together? So you guys were lying to me on purpose, right? You're really trying to exclude me, right? Don't be so cruel!"

An Yi brought some food back. Li Nian, who was eating bread, which was pretty good but lacked the oil and salt that Chinese food should have, started to think about preparing a lunch box.

As they were chatting, Li Nian's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw it was a call from the Yin-Yang Bureau.

Missions always come suddenly.

Li Nian answered the phone and just listened to the information, the mission content, and the place to go. He responded lightly with words like "yes", "I understand", and "I'll be there soon". Then he finished the bread in a few bites and got up to leave.

Li Nian looked normal, but when he answered the phone, everyone fell silent and looked at him, listening to the words he used to respond to the other end. Naturally, they all understood the nature of the call.

When they were with Li Nian, they would always inadvertently forget that this person also had the profession of exorcist, and only at this time would they remember it clearly.

Li Nian picked up her coat and said, "You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

"Mission?" Wu Geng asked.

"Correct."

Everyone was still immersed in the conflict of a sudden change in impression, and only Kato said something at this time.

"Please come back safely."

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

But he didn't agree to such a simple sentence.

Although he was aware that enemies without sufficient strength could no longer pose any threat to him, and he also understood what kind of vigorous vitality existed in him, making him very difficult to kill... he never felt that he would be able to return safely from a battle.

So he just disappeared silently from his friends' sight.

However, in this mission, he was not lucky enough to encounter a rare and dangerous creature like the Tsuchigumo spider.

It was just a common third-type spiritual disaster.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he used his exorcist qualification certificate to pass through the police cordon in his school uniform as usual. As expected, what he saw was a corpse that had been rotten for a long time and was no longer in human form.
