When facing the sponsor, An Yilun didn't dare to talk casually like he did when he deceived people before. He really couldn't come up with anything now, and his previous ideas like mine were also rejected by Xia Zhi. Qiu Shiyu and Sawamura Eiri both denied that he really had no confidence that he could pass Li Wei's test.

Li Wei smiled and said: Even if the idea is not completed, it can still be taken out and looked at. After all, the production of a game is not that simple. It is all the ideas that the entire producer brainstorms.

An Yilun also returned to his seat, took out a notebook, came to Li Wei's side, and said, All the ideas I've had so far are in this notebook.

Levi took the notebook and opened the cover. He saw slightly messy handwriting. He continued to flip through it and found that only the first page had content, and everything after that was blank.

Li Wei didn't say anything, he still smiled. He had long known the level of An Yilun's creative ability. Now he asked the other party to tell the story just to satisfy his curiosity.

It's just like what classmate Yinglili said, An Yijun, you still have a long way to go in terms of creation. Li Wei said it tactfully, but An Yilun, who is not a fool, can listen. Understand the meaning of his words.

An Yilun's idea was very crude. It could even be said that it was so crude that it couldn't be called an idea. It could only be regarded as a flash of inspiration. Even on the first page, An Yilun only wrote a few lines. That's all, and it's all content that seems inexplicable.

From a producer's perspective, this so-called idea is simply a disaster.

Li Wei took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and said: An Yijun, I believe in your talent. After all, you are a big blogger with millions of fans, but this idea is a bit sorry for you. of millions of fans.”

I'm very sorry, it's not finished yet, only this is the simplest version. But, as long as you give me time, I will complete the final idea very quickly, don't worry! An Yilun also bowed slightly, saying cannibalism He has a soft mouth and short hands. After accepting Li Wei's 10 million investment, he must learn to pretend to be a grandson. After all, Li Wei is Party A, and he is only Party B. Both parties have already signed the contract. If If Levi is dissatisfied with him and wants to withdraw funds, then his gaming dream is completely over.

An Yijun, I hope your talent can be as good as your enthusiasm. Keep up the good work. Li Wei did not show anger, but his disappointed tone also made An Yilun feel like he was being pinched in his heart. , a little unconvinced, and a little bitter.

Levi received feedback from the system, and An Yilun also became less enthusiastic about making games and fell into a state of self-doubt, which would lead to changes in the world line. The system gained 200 points.

Levi now has 700 points, but 700 points can't be exchanged for anything good, so Levi plans to continue saving money and wait until a certain number of points is collected before redeeming them for relatively useful props or abilities.

Looking at An Yilun's depressed look, Levi also knew that for every hit, he would have to give a sweet date. If An Yilun was so shocked that he no longer wanted to play the game, then earning points this time would be a big deal. Hammer trading, he didn't want this worst-case scenario to happen.

Therefore, appropriate comfort is also necessary. This is sustainable development. Although in a way, this is a bit like PUA.

Chapter 29. Beat a stick and give a sweet date

Levi knew that he had to appease the other party. Although An Yilun had a strong appreciation ability, he was just an ordinary high school student after all. There was no problem in chatting from the audience's perspective, but he had to stand up Taking the position of a creator and creating a work that satisfies players is no simple matter.

Li Wei closed the notebook, with what he thought was the softest smile on his face, and said: An Yijun, I hope you can organize your inspirations again. Everyone's first step is clumsy, even me. No exception, I still remember my first painting when I was a child, it was as bad as a piece of dog shit, but it was this simple drawing that looked like dog shit that introduced me into the wonderful world of painting art.”

An Yilun also looked at Li Wei. The original dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart had completely dissipated at this time. He thought that Li Wei would give him a good scolding, but he didn't expect that even so, Li Wei was still encouraging him. .

This made An Yilun feel ashamed. With just a few words that were not even criticism, his mentality became unbalanced. This was something that was not allowed.

Looking at Li Wei's encouraging eyes, An Yilun was moved and excited at the same time. This was a feeling of meeting a confidant. His heart, which was originally a little embarrassed because of the 10 million investment, finally calmed down. Come down.

Li Wei is not a Party A who doesn't understand anything, but a companion who is really willing to accompany him to create a love game. When he thinks that he has resentment in his heart just now, An Yilun feels that he is simply unforgivable.

Li Weijun, I will work hard! An Yilun also had firm eyes and an even firmer tone.

There is no need to be so serious, Mr. An Yi. There is an old saying in Chongguo. If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river. Everyone is a novice, and I am the same, so don't worry about it. Discouraged by a temporary failure, I believe that with your talent, you will become an excellent game producer.

After all, Li Wei is also someone who has studied psychology seriously. He also knows very well how to inject chicken blood to maximize the effect.

Now giving a stick to a sweet date not only earned An Yilunye points, but also made the other party feel grateful to him. Naturally, the more the merrier for such a thing.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing cannot be done too often, otherwise it will show its flaws. Too anxious to eat hot tofu, Levi now has enough patience to spend time with An Yilun. He would be reluctant to leave this world without earning thousands of points on An Yilun.

After all, the correct way to open this daily world where you can gain points without going through battles is to constantly torture the male protagonist mentally, and you have to make the other party be grateful to him.

Why does Levi read those boring psychology books? Isn't it just for this set of methods? If the method is too simple and crude, and the onlookers will notice the abnormality, then naturally the matter of increasing points will not be able to continue. You can only kill the male protagonist with one knife, make a deal, and leave after making money.

The reason why Levi chose this world instead of other daily animation worlds was a decision he made after careful consideration.

It's like the world of Day on Campus. Although Levi wants to twist off Makoto Ito's head, to be honest, there are really not many places where you can earn points in Day on Campus. If you can't make much, you have to make a one-time deal. , which is not in line with his strategy of maximizing interests.

Compared with Ito Makoto, An Yilun is also a treasure trove that is easier to collect wool. Levi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at An Yilun as if he was looking at a lucky cat.

Seeing An Yilun's excited expression of dying for his confidant, Levi knew that his encouragement had taken effect.

Li Wei said: Okay, An Yijun, don't be so excited now. Playing games is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You still need to learn more knowledge. Class is about to start. Go back to your seat first. Your I am a high school student, and studying is very important, so don’t delay your grades just because you play games.”

Li Wei's performance was quite good, and he looked like he really thought about An Yilun, but An Yilun also failed to see through his true face. He nodded, said a few words, and returned to himself with his notebook. I sat on my seat, and then I lay there scribbling, probably revising my ideas.

Ha. Levi held his chin with one hand, looking at An Yilun's serious look, his heart was full of joy. He has no sympathy for An Yilun in his heart. Although An Yilun is not as hateful as Ito Makoto, he is still annoying to many otakus. If he can take care of this guy, many otakus will do it. Applause.

After school, Li Wei had to go to the appointed editor. Kasumigaoka Shiyu was very efficient. After he completed the first volume, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had already contacted the editor of the library. Although Fushikawa Wenku is not a big library, but Levi doesn't consider this. Anyway, for him, it doesn't matter where he submits his articles.

After school in the afternoon, Levi came to the school gate to wait for Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

Levi was holding his computer bag and leaning under a big tree not far from the school gate. He didn't wait long before he saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu trotting over.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stopped in front of Li Wei, leaned on his knees, took a breath and said, I'm sorry, the teacher dragged me into class.

This is really a rare thing. Senior sister, please wait a minute while I buy you a can of drink. Levi put his computer bag on the ground, walked to the vending machine not far away, and bought two cans The drinks came back and he gave one of the cans to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

Levi said: Private Toyosaki Academy is not a high school for further studies. The teachers here are also a little perfunctory when teaching. Things like dragging the class are quite rare in this school.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu unscrewed the lid of the drink, took a few sips, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was not a person who was good at sports. Running over from the classroom was enough for her. Tested.

Chapter 30. Non-mainstream works

After Kasumigaoka Shiyu had rested, Levi followed her, walked for about ten minutes, and stopped at the door of a cheap chain coffee shop.

Following Kasumigaoka Shiyu into the cafe, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked around, and then took Li Wei to sit down in a booth by the window. There was already someone sitting on the booth, and it was a man with neat hair. Business-wearing woman with medium to short hair. The woman in professional attire has a beautiful face. She is naturally beautiful with only light makeup on her face. Her mature figure, combined with that professional attire, is extremely lethal to ordinary young boys.

However, Levi is a college student disguised as a high school student, and he has seen a lot of messy scenes. Although the opponent is in his strike zone, he will not let go of his own interests just because of such things.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat down with Li Weiwei and said to Li Wei: This person is the editor of Fusugawa Bunko, Miss Machida Enko, and she is also my full-time editor. She has given me a lot of help in writing. Advice, you can say he is my mentor.”

Machida Enzi generously stretched out her hand, shook hands with Li Wei, and said with a smile: You are the talented writer Li Wei with amazing writing power that Mr. Kasumi Shiko said, right? I am a member of Fusukawa Bunko. Editor, it’s a real honor to see you here.”

Li Wei would naturally not show a cold face when the person on the sedan chair was carrying someone so polite. After some compliments, the two sides gradually got down to business.

There was Levi's computer in front of Machida Enzi. Levi was not in the habit of writing manuscripts by hand. After writing online novels for several years, he had become accustomed to computer coding. For him, the efficiency of writing was really too low. It does not conform to the rhythm of high-intensity updating of online novels, that is, only those traditional writers who do not pursue quantity will retain the habit of handwriting.

And there is also a problem with handwriting, that is, it is very troublesome to modify the manuscript in the later period. Unlike a computer document, if there is a problem, you can just modify it.

Sure enough, the work that Kasumi Shiko-sensei can admire is indeed extremely wonderful. Machida Enko sighed, feeling a little excited in her heart, secretly thinking that she had really found a treasure this time.

This light novel created by Levi was full of magic. Machida Enzi was fascinated by it. She read 50,000 to 60,000 words in one breath before forcing herself to stop, because she couldn't let Levi and Kasumigaoka Shiu wait too long. Very rude.

This work simply... subverted my imagination. I never thought that a fantasy adventure work could be written like this. It's incredible. Machida Eonko sighed. This work really exceeded her expectations. Generally speaking, as the editor-in-chief, she has the responsibility to supervise the author's creation and prevent the author from going astray. But for this work, she really doesn't know how to make suggestions because the degree of completion is too high. , giving her no room to express her opinions at all.

Different from traditional fantasy adventure works, which all follow the royal elements such as passion, friendship, adventure, etc., this work of Levi is completely the opposite of the evil way. It can even be said to be the evil way among the evil ways. , there has never been such a work on the market.

The male protagonist in Levi's works is very different from other light novel protagonists. Although he has a funny side, he also has a particularly cruel side. Many times, she is confused whether he is the protagonist or the villain. Fight the villain.

But as the story unfolds, Machida Enzi also likes this unique character more and more. Different from the indecisiveness of the traditional light novel male protagonist, the male protagonist in Levi's works makes people think that he is a funny character when he is stupid. , but when he gets serious, his decisiveness in killing is at least a big step higher than other light novel protagonists.

But even this kind of male protagonist who looks like a villain is still likable, and he is still supported by other characters, because the other world that the male protagonist traveled to is a world much darker than the Dark Middle Ages. .

The residents there are ignorant and numb, but when faced with those who are weaker than themselves, they are particularly bloodthirsty and cruel. The male protagonist who had just arrived in another world was almost burned to death on the stake because he trusted the residents there.

The nobles there are hypocritical and cunning. They want to break the bones and suck out the marrow of everyone in the territory. They are so controlling that they are twisted.

And the religion there is even more frighteningly ignorant. In the name of holiness, they do obscene things, such as child molestation, sheep killing, indulgences... It lists seven virtues and seven deadly sins, and the seven virtues are all the same in them. Unexpectedly, all seven deadly sins appeared.

This is a dark and despairing world, and the male protagonist has to start in this environment where the whole world is full of malice. If it were an ordinary light novel male protagonist, and he was thrown into such a hell on earth, he would have long been It has already collapsed.

But the male protagonist in Li Wei's works used his not particularly powerful golden finger to make a deal with the cunning devil, and used word games to trick the devil and forcibly seize the devil's power. A series of exaggerated but reasonable The cool operation made Machida Enzi see how terrifying a character with an online IQ can be.

Although I haven't finished the first volume yet, Machida Enko can be sure that this is a masterpiece and a work that spans the ages.

The fantasy adventure light novels on the market today are all in the royal style, telling stories of passion and friendship, justice and evil. Although such works are also very exciting, they are different from the twisted and real world written by Levi. Compared to it, it still lacks a lot of charm.

If other fantasy adventure light novel writers are describing a romantic story in another world, then Levi's work is to tear off the romantic outer skin and reveal all the bloody flesh and blood at the core, a truly backward otherworld. , what kind of ghostly appearance is it.

What surprised Machida Enzi the most was that the world Li Wei built was an absurd and dark world, but Li Wei could always make jokes between the lines, allowing readers to follow the male protagonist's perspective and complain about this too-real world. Different world.

Li Weijun, this novel is just like the biography you left after you traveled to a different world and had an adventure. The authenticity of this novel is too high, and the impact on ordinary readers is too huge. This novel I need to ask the editor for permission. Although Machida Enzi likes Levi's works very much, Levi's works are a bit extreme. If something goes wrong, she can't afford to take the blame, so she plans to ask the editor for permission privately. .

Chapter 31. Excited Editor-in-Chief

Then do we need to make another appointment? Let's talk about it another day? Levi did not expect that his work would have such an impact on Machida Enzi. This work is actually a stitch monster, but because of his writing skills It has greatly increased, and the essence of dozens of online novels has been stitched together, so there are no traces of stitching. After all, this is already a re-creation.

Machida Enzi said quickly: No, I will call the editor-in-chief over now. Please wait a moment. Bunko is only less than an hour's drive from here.

Levi nodded. Since Fusukawa Bunko wanted a quick victory, he would have to satisfy him. Moreover, Machida Enko looked like she was afraid that he would run away. It seemed that she really valued this work.

Machida left the table and made a phone call, then returned to his seat and continued reading the unfinished novel.

Now Li Wei is very patient, and he is not impatient at all when he needs to wait. After all, he is not asked to come back another day, which is already considered good. A newcomer's work has alarmed the editor-in-chief of a library. This kind of saying goes out No one believed it.

Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Shiu exchanged various writing issues. From time to time, Machida Enko would also put forward her own opinions, and the exchange was quite pleasant.

Levi's inner view of Machida Enoko has also changed. He has not read the original novel, but has only read the two seasons of the anime, so his understanding of Machida Enoko is not that in-depth. In the anime, Machida Enoko is a tool person, even It can be said to be a vase.

But after they really started communicating, Li Wei realized that the other party could become the editor of the library. It was no longer as simple as having two brushes, but a brush with a king's treasure house. As an editor, her creative ability can only be said to be average, but her appreciation Her ability is terrifyingly strong. She has analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of various light novels on the market very comprehensively, giving Levi an additional perspective to understand the industry.

He had heard in the past that some powerful light novel writers were brought out by the editor. Once the editor retired, the light novel writers under him would simply stop writing. He originally thought that such a thing was just an exaggeration.

But the existence of Machida Enko does illustrate one thing. A good editor can allow light novel authors to exert 120% of their strength.

What Li Wei didn't know was that Kasumigaoka Shiu had suffered from literary youth disease many times before, and Machida Enzi was the one who forced her back. Without the efforts of Machida Enko, the first volume of Love Metronome would not have achieved such good golden results.

However, the second volume was handed over to another editor due to Machida Enoko's illness due to a car accident, so the second volume was straight away. The fourth and fifth volumes were handled by Machida Enoko who had returned to work, but Kasumigaoka Shiu had already mastered her skills. The cards were played badly, and Machida Enzi couldn't save the situation even if she had the ability to do so.

However, one learns from every experience. Kasumigaoka Shiu has now curbed her artistic side and will no longer make fun of her career due to her crotch-stretching incident in her debut.

Just as the three of them were chatting enthusiastically, a tall, fat middle-aged man walked into the coffee shop. Machida Enzi waved her hand, and the middle-aged man walked in the direction of the three of them.

Machida Enzi moved her position and sat on the inside of the window, and the middle-aged man sat down where she originally sat.

Hello, hello, you are Mr. Levi, right? A hero comes from a boy. Let me introduce myself, I am Yuichiro Kawada, the editor-in-chief of Fusukawa Bunko. The middle-aged man is as fat as a dragon in Hayao Miyazaki's animation. Like a cat, coupled with that innocent smile, it gives people a simple and honest feeling.

Kawada Yuichiro only introduced his position, but did not explain to Levi and Kasumigaoka Shiu that he was actually an old friend of Machida Enko's father, and he was also one of Machida Enko's protective umbrellas in the library.

Hello, Editor Kawada. After Levi shook hands with the other party, he called the waiter and ordered another dessert. Yuichiro Kawada's body type, at first glance, seems to be a particularly edible type.

Yuichiro Kawada began to browse Levi's new work. He looked at it very carefully, and he didn't even notice that the snacks he ordered had been delivered to him.

As a library editor, Kawada Yuichiro also climbed up from the position of editor-in-chief, so he has a more experienced understanding of light novels than Machida Enko. After spending two hours reading the manuscript, his hands were a little I took out the cigarette case tremblingly, but when I found a no-smoking wooden sign hanging on the wall inside the cafe, I put the cigarette case back timidly.
