Kobayashi Kongqing: "It's not that good, I feel pretty normal."

An Yilun also: "...Please don't say such things."

Kobayashi Kongqing: "Huh?"

"What is the most painful thing? You happen to have such a little talent, which is enough for you to covet the hall of geniuses, but not enough for you to enter. You wander in front of the door, vaguely see the light coming out of the hall, but knock Don't open that door." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu raised her eyes, "You sat slumped, thinking that this is the greatest regret in the world, but you vaguely heard a sigh coming from the hall: I am a good food!"

"Shut up! Don't interpret my pain so vividly!" An Yilun also screamed, "I mean, I mean...the planning is good, but the process is wrong!"

"Calm down." Xiao Lin Kongqing said, "Let's clear up our thoughts."

An Yilun also took a big sip of his drink and took a few deep breaths, "I want to say, if I made this plan, then the production process is the process of realizing dreams, it is a process of turning my dreams into something that others can achieve. The process of understanding the dream. And use your planning. The process of making the game becomes the completion of the work."

Kobayashi Kongqing frowned.

"To put it simply," Xiazhiqiu Shiyu understood first, "You provide me with inspiration, that is my passionate creative process, you dictate stories and let me type them out, I am just a typewriter without emotion."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes," An Yilun nodded in Yemeng, "so the key now is to find—"

"All in all," Kobayashi Kongqing raised his voice, "You hope that I will complete the previous agreement, inspire you, and write an interesting plan, so that you can devote yourself to game production with enthusiasm, right?"

"That's what it means." An Yilun also replied happily.

"I understand, I will try my best." Kobayashi Kongqing smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "Looking forward to your new project."

Chapter 56 Two Phone Calls

An Yilun also had other things to buy, and he was not with Kobayashi Kongqing and the others.

Sitting in the car, Kobayashi Kongqing looked out the window with distracted eyes.

Wasted a lot of time...

"He asked you to help find someone?" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly spoke out.

Kobayashi Kongqing nodded, "Well, there is such a thing."

"With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone."

"almost."

"But if you can't look for it, don't look for it."

"Huh?" Kato Megumi made a puzzled voice, "Why do you say that?"

Kobayashi Kongqing also had the same question, but Megumi Kato had already asked, so there was no need for him to repeat it.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu glanced at Kato Megumi through the rearview mirror of the car, "To create a love story, you always need to hoard a lot of themes in that area, right? After all, at my age, I can't accumulate much life experience."

"Is this the original creation?" Megumi Kato touched the unknown field.

"At a time like this, if a boy who claims to be a passionate fan comes in front of him and talks about himself eagerly, isn't it inevitable that he will fall in love with him?"

Kato Megumi nodded, "That's right."

"Besides, the editor said that the sales of the work have increased by [-]% due to the influence of the website run by that boy. I feel that this relationship is not so regrettable, are you right?"

"Huh?" Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Kongqing, "Is it so powerful?"

"This is the power of publicity." Kobayashi Kongqing explained, "If a new author wants to gain attention, he needs to catch the readers' eyes from the beginning, which is one of the reasons why light novel illustrations are extremely important. Cover, girdle , recommendation words, posters... are all means of publicity. There are so many light novels, only a small number of readers have the time and energy to find a needle in a haystack and find favorite works. More are passive acceptance of recommendations, or gimmicks at the beginning absorb."

"So much to say..."

"Compared with the publicity of the bookstore library, readers trust the recommendations of senior otaku more." Kobayashi Kongqing added, "Stories like senior sister need to be read repeatedly to understand the deep meaning, and the slow-heating emotional rendering requires patience to read. Only people will like it, but few people have this kind of patience—unless a senior nerd says that the story becomes more interesting as it gets to the end. The better the quality of the book, the better the publicity effect."

"There's no need to flatter me." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked out the window, "The thing is roughly like this, my side is completely OK, but Lunli becomes a soft-legged shrimp when it comes to critical moments."

"Student An Yi?" Megumi Kato understood, "The boy my sister mentioned is student An Yi."

"All in all, that guy may be courteous to a girl for about half a year, but his eyes will be changed to the next girl next year...or it should be said, to the next packaging object." Xia Zhi Qiu Shiyu gritted his teeth, "Once he wants to get closer, he will become a waste wood, stay far away from you, never agree, and don't explicitly refuse."

Kobayashi Kongqing was surprised, "Senior doesn't seem like the type to gossip about people behind their backs."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu responded angrily, "Of course I can say it in person, but didn't you have a good chat just now?"

Even if it was the return gift just now, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu didn't want to pour cold water on them when they had a good chat.

"Why are you saying it again now?"

"You are very good at finding people, maybe you will find them later if I say later." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said in a bad tone, "He likes novelty, is good at provoking people, can pretend to be familiar, and is entangled endlessly. In this sense, he is also considered a good fan speculator. If you find that person, that person will also be dragged down by him-that is not a good experience."

"Is this from experience?"

"You care about me?" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, "In short, this is the first time I have lied to someone behind my back, you'd better figure out how to repay me as soon as possible--Also, telling him what I said before is also a good idea. It doesn't matter."

"I know." Xiao Lin Kongqing looked out the window, "I know everything."

It's a pity, but starting now, it's not difficult to find a new production team.

Just dig a formed team.

Coupled with his propaganda methods, it is not impossible to achieve the expected effect.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Ying Lili can also focus on the work in hand.

The car drove downstairs to Shiyu's house in Xiazhiqiu, the senior sister pushed the door, and when the door was about to close, the movement stopped, her red eyes stared at Kobayashi Kongqing in the back row, "You wait for me."

"Ok?"

"My new work." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu closed the door forcefully.

"Senior seems very angry..." Kobayashi Kongqing looked at the back of senior entering the hall.

"Oh, is it?" Kato Megumi responded flatly.

"Where is your home, I will take you home first."

"Turn right ahead." Kato Megumi pointed the way, and soon arrived at her house. The girl opened the car door, "See you on Monday."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Kongqing said, "Isn't it tomorrow?"

"Ok?"

"We made an appointment to go to the six-day field."

Kato Megumi's movement of closing the door stagnated, "You are all injured..."

"It's not a particularly serious injury. Going out for a walk will make you feel better, and it will also help the wound recover."

"Then... contact me when you wake up tomorrow." Kato Keixu pointed to Kobayashi Kongqing's forehead, "Be sure to wake up naturally."

"it is good."

"Then see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After returning home by car, after thanking the driver, Kobayashi Kongqing finally walked into the house and picked up the meowing rice cake.

The cat sniffed the gauze on his head curiously, and choked on the smell of the potion.

Kobayashi Kongqing put down the rice cake with a smile, changed into home clothes, checked the wound, turned on the computer, and sent a report of today's work record to Machida Sonoko.

After a while, Sonoko Machida called, "Are you injured?"

"Small things." Xiao Lin Kongqing replied, "The doctor said that as long as I don't mess around, the scars won't stay."

"Don't be so messy next time, the author needs to be protected, and the responsible editor is equally important."

"Thank you, Sister Yuan, for your concern."

"Take a good rest, and you can let go of work."

"Ok."

"Well, and..." Machida Sonoko paused, "Thank you."

"As an associate editor?"

"As Xia Shizi's friend."

Not long after hanging up Machida Sonoko, a new call came in.

"Sister Zhu Yin?"

"Did it hang up?"

"A little bit."

"Good job," Hongsaka Zhuyin praised, "Good boy, I wish I had you by my side back then."

"Sister Zhu Yin also encountered such a thing?"

"Well, just like idols, female authors will also encounter such rotten things." Benizaka Zhuyin sighed, "If I had you back then, I wouldn't have to do it myself."

Chapter 57 Outstanding Talents

"I found that kid behaving strangely and with wretched eyes, so I just lifted the table and kicked that guy when I held him down." Hongsaka Zhuyin said with emotion, "It's also because he was too obvious. I don’t know how many times I have drawn and written about it, pretending to be a wolf with a big tail in front of me..."

"Sister Zhu Yin, are you drinking again?"

"I drank a little, but not a lot—you care about me?"

Kobayashi Kongqing was helpless, "Are you really here to care about me when you called?"

"Well." Benizaka Zhuyin laughed, "How is your game production club?"

"I have encountered some problems." Kobayashi Kongqing reported truthfully, "The pre-appointed director, in order to ensure the enthusiasm for creation, wants to make a plan by himself. The plan I prepared originally is not useful, so I am going to find other The production team completed the production of the game."

There was a clear sound of drinking on the other side of the phone, as well as Benizaka Akane's cheerful breath, "Is this all right?"

"I have confidence."

"Kong Qing, there are not many talents in RER. I have also recruited many people from various places over the years. I will not talk about the older people. Even if you are the same age as you, there is also a Hasshima Iori. His talent Not weaker than you, and you have a good reputation that you don't have." Benizaka Zhuyin chuckled, "Why do you think I want you to be my successor?"

"Because I focus on my interests?"

"Yes." Hongsaka Zhuyin paused, "It's not entirely true."

"Ok?"

"When you were quite young, you showed the composure of an adult. Your pursuit of interests is as persistent as an older social animal who has been working for many years and then has been laid off. I like this."

Are you a fortune teller or a manga artist...Kongqing Kobayashi was speechless for a while, "Then I'm right."

"But this is your appearance, Sorao." Benizaka Zhuyin said softly, "If life is a game, you are the player of the second week. The obsession with profit lies in your understanding of the importance of money. The truth that society can only understand, and you memorized it by heart when you were in middle school."

"Is it precocious?"

"No, you use your intelligence gathering ability to force others to act according to your ideas, but you use sharp words to stimulate the other's nerves, just like a boring player molesting an NPC." Benizaka Zhuyin pointed out directly, "You like Is a boring player, using superb skills and abilities to test the bottom line of the game, hoping to clear the game called life as planned, but expecting this garbage game to bring you unexpected surprises. After recognizing the truth of life After that, I still have expectations—this is why I choose you."

Kobayashi Kongqing laughed, "So I am such a person."

"Then there is the difference between creators and investors." Benizaka Akane seemed to take another sip of wine, "From the creator's point of view, to produce excellent works, you need excellent creators, and you also need a platform to help creators scan Clear obstacles, find the right direction, adjust the status - and investors?"

Kobayashi Kongqing quickly gave the answer, "Low investment and high return can be replicated, large-scale industrial operation, quickly occupy the market, and minimize the interference of uncontrollable factors."

"So the biggest enemy of an investor is the creator." Benizaka Zhuyin said violently, "For a piece of mapo tofu, a chef has studied it for many years and made the best mapo tofu, but he is the only one who needs to be emotional. It can only be made when it is pleasant, and investors have no interest at all. But someone has developed a cooking bag, as long as it is taken out and warmed up, it can be [-]%, even if it only has [-]% of the taste, investors will flock to it.”

One thing to say, indeed.

Kobayashi Kongqing was heartbroken.

"You can thrive in the financial industry, but you haven't." Benizaka Akane concluded, "Because you are expecting, and the financial industry will not respond to your expectations."

Kobayashi Kongqing opened his mouth, but he couldn't utter a rebuttal.

"If I need a good investor, I can find it anytime. You are not a qualified investor, but you are the investor I need. You cannot be the best creator among investors, but you can be the best creator among creators." A good investor—hiccup~" Benizaka Zhuyin hiccupped in an unimpressive manner, "You can find any club at random, let them complete your plan, and then use your ability to complete the publicity and get good sales ——But that’s not enough. Your ability is obvious to all, but what everyone wants to see is your mentality.”

Kobayashi Kongqing guessed, "The mentality of the creator?"

"The mentality of a creator." Benizaka Zhuyin confirmed Kobayashi Kongqing's guess, "Think carefully about what you want, think carefully about what you have, think carefully about what you expect, and what you can achieve."

"Sister Zhu Yin," Xiaolin Kongqing's eyes drooped slightly, "Everything you said is based on your judgment of me. What if your judgment is wrong?"

"Then you brought me an unexpected surprise." Benizaka Akane took another sip of wine, "I'm looking forward to it."

Kobayashi Kongqing laughed dumbly, "I will..."

Before he finished speaking, Benizaka Zhuyin's long breath came from the other side of the phone.

Fell asleep......

Or rather, drunk.

Kobayashi Kongqing hung up the phone and picked up the rice cake at his feet.

Looking forward to it?
