The chat group owner is really busy.

Then all you have to do is drink your coffee and leave.

After that, Jiang Nan would never come here again.

Now, only Kato Megumi knows his Jiangnan identity. As long as he pays a little bit of snacks, I believe Kato Megumi will definitely keep it a secret.

Soon the cafe staff brought a few cups of coffee.

After taking a sip of coffee, Ying Lili looked at Jiang Nan and said with a somewhat nostalgic tone.

"Your character hasn't changed. You're very independent and don't feel embarrassed at all. But why did you leave the area in the first place?"

"What should I say? I just want to go to a city where no one knows me. After all, I am a person who gets bored easily..."

Jiang Nan took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of sugar into the coffee, stirring it gently.

At that time, he had too many dark histories and had quit the light novel circle, so he went to a new place to develop his dark history.

The reason is that simple.

After drinking the coffee, Eriri always felt something was wrong, as if she had forgotten something.

"Eri! I'll leave now. See you later."

Jiang Nan stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.

Then I saw someone I didn't want to see.

"Why are you walking so fast?"

A beautiful woman in black stockings walked over, her eyes full of mockery.

Kato Megumi stood quietly by and she smelled the scent of gossip again.

After knowing that Jiang Nan was Jiang Nan, Kato Megumi felt that it was really interesting.

The people who came were all people she had never met before.

A well-known illustrator, a well-known beautiful writer, and a well-known Jiangnan old thief.

interesting!

……

……

Every circle has its own way of making friends.

Take novelists for example. Perhaps ordinary people rarely find this profession of novelist around them.

But many of a fiction writer’s friends are fiction writers themselves.

Because we can chat with each other and have common topics.

Circles are isolated from each other.

"I didn't check the almanac before going out today!"

Jiang Nan covered his face.

Although I thought so in my heart, it ultimately did not change the course of my fate.

So there was one more person at the coffee table.

Four people can just make up a set of mahjong.

"Long time no see. I didn't recognize you when we just met, Senior!"

When Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke, she deliberately emphasized the two seniors behind her.

"Senior, I feel embarrassed if you say that. I really didn't recognize you just now."

Jiang Nan continued his deception mode.

"Do you think I will be easily fooled by you like the idiot next to me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile.

"Kasumigaoka, what are you talking about?"

When Ying Lili heard someone call her a fool, she immediately became anxious.

"It seems someone's question has not been answered yet!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha had apparently been listening for a while nearby.

Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and immediately looked at Jiang Nan angrily.

"It's going to be cool."

The corner of Jiang Nan's mouth twitched.

"You are fooling me again, you haven't answered my question directly yet!"

Jiang Nan waved his hand.

"Calm down, calm down, anger can turn ugly."

No beautiful girl would want to make herself ugly.

Eriri suppressed her anger.

"Answer me, bastard!"

"Speaking of which, I also want to know why you, Jiang Nan, quit the entertainment industry. Your future is so bright, better than mine. Many of your works have been adapted into animations and movies. I really can't think of a reason for you to quit."

Kasumigaoka Utaha also wants to know the answer.

In that writers' circle, they were all good friends.

It’s just that when Jiang Nan became famous, both of them were still unknown.

It is precisely because of this that Kasumigaoka Utaha calls Jiang Nan "senior". The "senior" here refers to the seniors in the writer circle.

In that circle, the two of them had been chasing Jiang Nan, but they could never even see his back.

Sometimes hard work loses to talent.

Especially in this creation which requires great talent.

Writing requires talent and inspiration.

Some people write all their lives without producing a single decent piece of work.

Some people can reach heights that others cannot reach in their entire lives just by writing casually.

Even some people's debut works are something that many writers will never be able to surpass in their entire lives.

Jiang Nan looked at the burning eyes of the two and knew that he couldn't avoid it.

So after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Because my existence is the greatest disrespect to those of you who work hard."

Jiang Nan finally gave the answer.

He is a plagiarist. The reason why every work he writes becomes a hit is because these works are all hits in his world.

He did not work hard on his creation, nor did he rack his brains to think about the next plot.

I have never tried to find inspiration by experiencing different kinds of life.

He is just a plagiarist. For those who work hard to write, his existence is the biggest denial of their efforts.

Please give me some monthly tickets, brothers.

Friends who have extra monthly tickets please vote for me. The ranking has fallen to the ground.

409. Chapter 409, Hard Work and Talent

After Jiang Nan entered the writer circle, he met many friends who were also writers.

Chasing the strong is a habit in every circle.

The same is true in the writer's circle.

After Jiang Nan became famous with the book Sword Art Online, he immediately became a big shot in the circle.

In the circle, he met some authors who went to some particularly dangerous places in search of inspiration.

I see some authors scratching their heads over a plot.

Jiang Nan always felt out of tune with these people.

Maybe it's because he is a plagiarist.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't seem to expect this reason, but they couldn't understand this sentence.

Because they couldn't imagine that Jiang Nan was a time traveler, let alone that he was just a plagiarist.

That’s why Jiang Nan didn’t want to say it!

"What on earth do you mean?"

Eriri was very angry.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat beside her with her legs crossed, but her brows were furrowed.

"I know you are a genius, the kind of genius that we can never catch up with, but you can't say that. I will surpass you one day."

It was obvious that the two had misunderstood something.

Because what Jiang Nan said, ignoring the fact that he was a time traveler, was a blow from a genius to a mediocre person.

It’s like no matter how hard a mediocre person tries, he is too weak in the eyes of a genius, even so weak that the genius has to treat him with pity.

"What I said is just the fact. Isn't that what you think in your heart?"

Jiang Nan relaxed his shoulders, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Just at this moment, Jiang Nan revealed a wicked smile.

"Was what I just said cool? Did you believe it? You are still so easily fooled!"

The sudden change in style left everyone no time to react.

Jiang Nan: "Long time no see, you guys are still the same as before!"

Ying Lili suddenly felt that Jiang Nan was still as hateful as before.

So she kicked Jiang Nan's calf hard under the table.

"Don't be so violent, or you'll become a violent woman."

Jiang Nan rubbed his calves and spoke.

"That's so bad, senior."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's complexion improved slightly.

The atmosphere just now was really depressing.

It was like the friendship was about to fall apart, but now it’s been restored.

"Actually, the real reason why I quit is well understood by everyone. I just don't want to write anymore. Every author has this stage. When they don't feel like writing anymore, they just stop writing."

Jiang Nan's tone was slightly gentle.

At this moment, he was no longer as aggressive as before.

"Senior, you gave up just like that. Your personality is still the same as before."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head helplessly.

It is this character of giving up at any time that caused Jiang Nan to cut many of his books.

"Speaking of which, I am now a huge fan of your book. The Love Metronome you wrote is very interesting. I am really looking forward to your latest new book."

"Thank you!"

Jiang Nan's straightforwardness made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel a little embarrassed.

In the circle of writers, Jiang Nan still has certain strength. Being recognized by him proves that I have the corresponding strength.

"I also bought Kashiwagi Eri's latest Eighteen..."
