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

Then, she suddenly noticed that Li Nian was also looking at her without any hesitation, his eyes calm and deep.

There was no sarcasm or mockery in those eyes, only a feeling of "seriousness" existed in them.

This Li Nian is different from how she has always been, and she seems very decisive.

He said calmly.

"You are the one who can accept criticism, so don't regret it now."

Before speaking, Li Nian thought about whether he should be more tactful in his words, but he finally decided to speak bluntly, even though he knew that these words would inevitably turn into sharp blades that would hurt people.

Since Wu Geng chose to hear the truth, he has to be responsible and tell the truth.

Like a bucket of cold water being poured down on me, the boiling anger that was about to explode was suddenly extinguished.

Wu Geng bit his lip, suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, calmed himself, and slowly put down the dictionary.

Li Nian was a little surprised that the kid didn't throw the thing directly at his face.

"Are you really able to calm down?"

Wu Geng snorted coldly.

"Don't get me wrong, I want to kill you right now, too."

"Oh, really? I'm actually ready to receive the dictionary with my face..."

"I can see how thick-skinned you are... You can actually say such hateful words in front of me." She hung her head and muttered, "What's even more hateful is that I still feel in my heart that what you said is right."

Yes.

Wu Geng himself was also aware of the shortcomings pointed out by Li Nian.

It is because we know our own weakness that we are unable to refute correct words.

This made Li Nian feel relieved.

It is difficult to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, so he had repeatedly reminded Wu Geng to accept criticism. On the other hand, if the girl did not accept it and fundamentally denied his point of view, then it would be difficult to progress the topic.

Wu Geng looked at the black book on Li Nian's desk, looking so upset that he wanted to cry.

"…Is it really that useless?"

"Yes, it's just that useless."

"...Can't you say something nice? I really want to hit you now."

"Then you have to write something that will allow me to find nice things to say to you."

Wu Geng's hands trembled, and he couldn't help but want to pick up the dictionary next to him.

Seeing this, Li Nian smiled, stopped criticizing her, and returned to a serious expression.

"So, you want some constructive advice?"

Li Nian read all the way through and found out the problems with Wu Geng. He was confident that his criticism was well-founded. Of course, he did not intend to just criticize and be done with it. He had already sorted out several targeted suggestions. He did not dare to say that they were absolutely correct, but Li Nian was sure that if the girl listened to him and could make the necessary changes, she would definitely improve.

Wu Geng thought about it, not knowing what he was thinking. He looked up and there seemed to be some determination in his eyes.

Then, she actually shook her head and refused.

This time it was Li Nian's turn to be confused.

"At this point, you are playing by the rules..."

Wu Geng stared at him coldly and said, "I don't accept it."

"Not convinced? How do you say that?"

"You said no one would like to read what I wrote, I don't believe it." She stretched out her hand to Li Nian: "Give it back to me."

Li Nian didn't understand what she meant, but he still listened to her and handed the three books back obediently.

"I have come this far on my own, and this is what I wrote with all the knowledge I have gained so far." Wu Geng snatched it away, staring at Li Nian with his head held high: "Perhaps you think my book is boring, ugly, and worthless, but I don't believe that everyone has the same opinion as you."

Li Nian understood.

To sum up Wu Geng's performance in one word, it is stubbornness.

It’s not that she didn’t accept Li Nian’s statement, but she still wasn’t convinced.

Everyone would be dissatisfied if all the efforts made so far were denied.

"I will revise it myself." Wu Geng said word by word with great effort: "Then, I will ask other people to take a look."

"...Excuse me, you probably won't find anyone who will read your book seriously and give you advice." Li Nian frowned and said, "Or do you want to hear others say that you are great? Then I will tell you now."

"When that time comes!" Wu Geng's voice suddenly rose, and he gritted his teeth and said, "When that time comes, if the result is still as you expected, I will honestly admit defeat."

Li Nian looked down at her clenched fists and roughly understood her inner thoughts.

That is the rebellious idea that comes after being denied and wanting to make efforts on my own to prove myself.

This is also a good thing.

Being enterprising is never a bad thing. As for the results - at this age, even failure will become valuable experience.

Li Nian admired it and wished it so sincerely.

"Well, keep going, and I look forward to your growth."

After hearing this, Wu Geng stared at Li Nian for a long while with a complicated expression. Finally, he snorted and turned back. Without saying a word, he took out a notebook and a pen, and opened the black book and spread it aside - it seemed that he was going to start revising it now.

Seeing this, Li Nian also withdrew his gaze and looked around.

The noise might have been a bit too loud.

Some quarrels arose during their conversation, which attracted the attention of some nosy people to what was happening in this corner.

For example, Yuigahama had a worried look on her face, looking over here, as if asking what was going on.

Li Nian shrugged, silently conveying the meaning of "nothing".

Totsuka, who watched all this from a close distance, poked Li Nian's back fearfully, leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Did you have a fight with Gogen-san?"

Li Nian shook her head.

"A little thing."

"...Oh." Totsuka sat back in disbelief.

Li Nian turned his head and saw Kato looking at him with bright eyes.

"……What's wrong?"

"Nothing, but I feel like both of you are amazing."

Li Nian couldn't help but look at Kato deeply, knowing that she had seen through the little secret here.

So he pointed at Gogen next to him and made a gesture to Kato to keep quiet.

Kato was stunned for a moment, then understood and nodded.

Chapter 79 and 80: The So-called Difference Between Heaven and Earth (Revised)

In his spare time, Li Nian has always been paying attention to the movements of his deskmate Wu Geng. Ever since he had argued with him and announced that he would revise the article himself and ask someone else to read it, Wu Geng has been lying on the table writing, with his pen tip moving across the paper. He has read the three books next to him, two of which are the main texts, including the setting collection, over and over again, sometimes from beginning to end, and sometimes from end to beginning. From time to time, he seems to have come up with a good idea, and he either marks it directly in the book or makes changes in the notebook next to him.

Although Li Nian thought that the manuscript needed to be cut off and re-written, Wu Geng obviously did not think so. He was working hard to revise her article and doing his best to improve the results of his labor, and it was undoubtedly efficient...

Obviously noticing that Li Nian was looking at him, Wu Geng deliberately didn't look in his direction and didn't say a word to him. This effort was also a resistance to his opinion that he was useless. It was somewhat like he was angry with Li Nian, but Li Nian looked at the girl like that, without any sarcasm or anger in his heart, and didn't care about her malice at all. He just felt... a little relieved.

Before you preach to others, you must set an example yourself...

Looking at Wu Geng who was working hard, Li Nian fell into deep thought for a moment. Then he suddenly opened a notebook, picked up a pen and wrote the word "outline" in the middle of the first line of the blank page.

Making a plan before doing something will increase your efficiency, but making an outline before writing... doesn't mean it will be of any use.

Of course, even so, the correct approach is undoubtedly to make an outline first and then write the article.

However, when it comes to individual authors, how they draft the outline varies greatly. Some people write in great detail, incorporating all kinds of insights and arranging various plots meticulously; others write in a very general way, covering the entire content in just one paragraph.

This is also an important manifestation of basic skills. Generally speaking, the characteristic of third-rate writers is that they do not put enough effort into the outline, which leads to problems throughout the whole book - sadly, Li Nian is a typical example.

But at least he would still go through this basic process to limit divergent ideas and clarify the basic direction, content, and settings.

Different from the writing impulse caused by flashes of inspiration in the past, for Li Nian now, he suddenly has the urge to pick up the pen again, but he has not made up his mind about what to write.

This was originally a problem that was enough to bother Li Nian for a week.

In the past, before starting a new project, he would be hesitant, timid, and repeatedly consider, coming up with one topic after another and then abandoning one after another - because once the development direction of the outline is established, it will need to be filled with content of at least 500,000 and at most one million words, which is a workload of at least half a year.

Is the subject matter too unpopular? Will readers like this setting? Can I handle it after I have come up with it? Will the plot explode due to poor handling in the later stages?

Honestly, just thinking about it makes people anxious. Every time at that time, Li Nian always has thoughts like -

“Am I not born to be a writer?”

"My head hurts so much, I don't want to think about anything anymore."

"Can someone come and give me a pen to help me write?"

Various thoughts like that.

But now, the situation is very different...

"I just want to write for fun..."

Li Nian couldn't help but smile.

He remembered that he had started writing at this age and in this class with such thoughts. Could it be that he had returned to his original intention now?

People who start from scratch have no burdens and do not have many concerns.

From now on, you can let yourself go!

...Just kidding.

"People can't go backwards as they grow older." Li Nian sighed, "If you want to write, you have to write well."

Still not planning to write casually, Li Nian would do it seriously, risking his dignity as a third-rate writer. However, with his correct attitude, he did feel a lot less restrained, and he immediately had an idea.

Anyway, all I have in front of me now is paper and pen, which is not as efficient as typing on a computer. At most, I can write an introduction of about 3,000 words just for fun.

Since it was just for fun, Li Nian didn't think too much about what to write. He smiled wickedly and wrote a sentence directly under the outline.

"This is a story about a man who is the lord of the demon world. He is betrayed by his subordinates and falls into misfortune in the human world. However, he is dramatically rescued by a demon exorcist girl who is supposed to be his mortal enemy."

Do it when you think of it.

Before officially starting to write, Li Nian took a deep breath and concentrated.

From this moment on, nothing else remained in his mind.

……

……

When the lunch break bell rang, Li Nian came to his senses and found that several pages had already been written in the notebook.

Looking at my own achievements, without even flipping through them, I can see that I have achieved an unprecedented quality.

"This……"

Li Nian stared and scratched his face, feeling a little surprised. The progress was going too smoothly.

"It's time to forage... Wait, what are you doing?!"

At this time, An Yi came over and wanted to call him to the cafeteria, but she was shocked when she saw his notebook covered with dense words.

Li Nian temporarily suppressed his emotions and stopped thinking about those things. When he turned to An Yi, he had regained his smile. Seeing An Yi looking at his notebook, he did not hide it and showed it to him openly, but did not directly tell him what he wrote. He smiled and said, "Guess?"

"You'd be crazy to guess that! Don't expect Japanese high school students to understand an article full of Chinese characters, okay?"

An Yi said this, but she was still curious and read the article carefully, still somewhat interested.

The entire article was written in simplified Chinese. Although Chinese characters are also an important part of Japanese, An Yi could understand some individual words, but he didn't know how big the difference was between the semantics of these words in Chinese and Japanese. There were many other words that he couldn't understand, and as for the deeper grammatical structure, he didn't understand it even more.

However, he was shocked at the densely packed Chinese characters at first glance. Now, he can still find that the article is divided into paragraphs with long and short sentences. The whole article is actually well-organized. Li Nian's handwriting is also vigorous, clear and neat, with a good aesthetic feeling.

"It feels a little bit cool...but I don't understand..."
