Tokyo Soft Rice King

Has she got some acting skills? Amazing! Even though she hasn't mastered dubbing, she's already got her acting skills down to the level! Truly an S-level soulful performance!

And bel canto… when did you develop that skill? It couldn't have been a skill you already had, right?

However, Murasakimiya already has the proficiency level of "Singing Level 2", so it is not surprising that she can learn bel canto singing. As long as she can sing the high notes, there will be no problem.

With her S-level voice, it should be easy for her to sing high notes.

Although the progress bars under these two proficiency levels have just appeared and the progress may be only 1%-5%, as mentioned before, being able to be recorded as proficiency is already an entry point.

Only S-rank can be so terrifying...

Kuroba Ming increasingly felt that letting Murasaki Nomiya be a voice actor was just a simple mode of development.

"Very good, very good, great progress, keep up the good work."

Hei Yuming originally wanted to clap with Zi Zhigong, but suddenly remembered that doing so would erase the talent copied from his right hand, so he switched to his left hand.

"Ok!"

After receiving the praise, Shizumiya happily patted Hei Yuming's left hand, and then took the opportunity to hold his hand.

Because when I wanted to hold hands before, I was pushed away, but now I can hold hands again when we are face to face.

With their fingers intertwined and palms touching, they felt as if their bodies were connected... Zi Zhigong discovered that she actually liked holding hands.

They happily shook their clasped hands up and down, just like little girls playing and cuddling with each other. This is the intimacy that only exists between friends.

Friends...are also very unfamiliar to Zi Zhigong.

From childhood to now, Zi Zhigong has moved several times and changed schools several times, so she has never had the opportunity to make close friends.

So Kuroba Akira can be considered the first friend in her life.

However, Shizumiya thought again that Kuroba Ming and herself were just partners, like an artist and an agent... Could such a relationship be considered friends?

She asked worriedly, a little uncertain.

"Mingjun, are we... friends now?"

"what?"

Hei Yuming asked back in a dumbfounded manner, which made Zi Zhigong feel like his heart stopped beating. He quickly lowered his head and spoke while waving his right hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I took it for granted..."

"You misunderstood. I'm just confused. If you don't consider me a friend, how dare you go home with me?"

"Hey?"

"Look, I brought you home, and now we're roommates. If we can't live together, what else can we be but friends?"

If they live together and are not friends, then they can only be husband and wife, or just friends with a purely physical relationship.

"Friendship isn't about the time we spend together. If you trust me and I trust you, then that's friendship."

Hei Yuming said with a smile.

"Besides work, I still want to treat you as a friend, or do you think it's embarrassing to treat me as a friend?"

Zi Zhigong hurriedly explained.

"No, no! I just... um... I thought Mingjun only thought of me as... uh..."

Zi Zhigong didn't know how to express it. She started stammering and couldn't continue speaking, and her head was lowered so that her bangs covered her eyes.

"You think I'm just trying to use you?"

Hei Yuming was still smiling, but this sentence did hit the key point, causing Zi Zhigong's body to tremble.

"Well, that's true, but even if it's exploitation, it can be mutually beneficial and friendly, rather than scheming against each other or even becoming enemies."

Hei Yuming released his left hand, patted her shoulder and said.

"So how you view our relationship is up to you. Anyway, I consider you a friend and partner."

Even if you start a business with friends, you will most likely break up in the end.

Friends who only care about food and drink are friends who are only interested in the business; if there is no profit to be made, who can you rely on?

So, interests and human hearts... are the most fickle things.

"...Yes! I will also treat Mingjun as a friend! We will be good friends for life!"

Murasaki Shion considers Kuroba Akira as her first friend and a friend she will keep for life.

After giving up half of his life to get a friend who treats him sincerely, Zi Zhigong feels that this deal is worthwhile now.

"what."

Hei Yuming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I just heard this sentence from the class monitor during the day, and heard it from Zi Zhigong again in the evening.

You guys really value your friends... But, it's okay this way.

The greater the affection, the higher the price. When the time comes, I will get back the "friendship fee" with interest.

I hope you won’t regret it then.

Chapter 72: My sister is actually an Hgame production master?!

"Then you should continue practicing. I will also continue writing my novel."

"Ok!"

Working hard and striving together with friends, this feeling of mutual encouragement and progress once again filled Zi Zhigong's heart with determination.

After calming down, Hei Yuming devoted himself to creation again.

No problem...I can write it based on my own experience.

I have seen many excellent works and can learn from their elements.

Recalling the works he had read in his previous life, Hei Yuming felt that his thoughts were suddenly opened up.

First of all, the opportunity for the younger sister to start making Hgames... It was definitely for her brother, there is no doubt about that.

So the problem actually lies with the older brother. What happened to him?

That’s right, in order to make this novel perfect, in addition to the sister who is the main attraction and cute point, the brother who is the protagonist cannot be just a tool.

Rather, the elder brother is the most important thing, after all, he is the character for the readers to identify with.

The brother’s character image and character arc are very important, and it can even be said that they are the main and hidden lines of this work.

The younger sister started making Hgames for her brother, but ended up falling in love with it as she went along. So her original intention of making the game was actually to rekindle her brother's fighting spirit to pursue his dreams.

This makes sense logically, so the problem with the older brother is that… he was originally a veteran game geek, and later wanted to make games, but after being defeated by setbacks and barriers, he gave in to depravity.

I joined a gaming company with great dreams, but in the end, I discovered that the gaming industry was full of darkness. I was worked half to death by unscrupulous companies, and the things they made were just to reap the players' money... I understand this feeling the best!

There are some personal opinions in this article, but it is precisely because Kuroba Akira himself has had the hard experience of working in a game company that he can write about the real feelings therein.

That's right, the plot that can most touch people's hearts is this sense of reality! And the plot that can most touch people's hearts is the one that shatters this sense of reality!

Aren’t light novels meant to make up for people’s regrets in real life?

The brother gave up his dream and was willing to become an ordinary person. He relied on butter to escape reality and comfort himself, but because of his sister, he returned to the world he escaped from.

Although I failed, with my sister's talent, she will definitely become a talented producer. In fact, this is also the realization of my own dream.

This way, the bond between the brother and sister can be taken to the next level, because both the brother and sister are taking action for each other.

And as for the subsequent characters... By the way, games require the cooperation of many people to complete, so wouldn't it be better to gather companions to make the game?

Just like a random heroine, the protagonist’s harem is just the companions who play games together.

You can also refer to the character of Saint Hui and add a character who is completely indifferent to the game, but becomes interested in the game because of the protagonist's enthusiasm. She is also the number one enemy of her sister.

Shura Field is one of the highlights, and you must join it.

Because it's adult fiction, you can even write some erotic content, such as some erotic interactions between brothers and sisters based on the plot of the game... Although it can't be too straightforward, this kind of sensual plot is very eye-catching.

Another thing is the professional world I saw after I really decided to pursue a career in game production... A work that can be used as a reference is Greater Tokyo Toy Box, which can be said to be a microcosm of the Japanese game industry.

There's no need for any reference here at all. Hei Yuming was so sick of seeing the conflicts in some aspects of game production that he was fed up with it when he was working at the game company in his previous life.

There were problems with synchronous communication between upstream and downstream, blame-shifting, conflicts between the IP team and the illustration team, stupid operational mistakes, idiotic planning and forced payback schemes, pressure from higher-ups, and so on...

You can also use some of the rhythm issues of the game itself as the main conflict in the plot. The rhythm in those second games should be quite exciting for people in the world today.

However, these plots are too heavy. Light novels cannot be written too 'heavy', they still have to be a little lighter.

So we have to add some funny and nonsensical elements, um... it would be like an attribute club, and it would be very joyful.

The big setback in the middle made the male protagonist once again recall the gap in talent, the insurmountable gap between geniuses and mortals.

Yes, just like the male protagonist in Sakurasou. I remember that male protagonist also wanted to make games, but because of the female protagonist and the genius boy Ryunosuke who lived with her, he felt the gap in talent...

Inferiority, depression, and then transcendence...

There is also the scene where the younger sister goes crazy... I can still remember the scene where Natsukawa Makoto goes crazy in My Asura. It was very cute and adorable, and it fits the character of the yandere very well.

Here, the scene where the brother discovers his sister's crazy behavior has a very comic-like feel... It's also a sign that the relationship between the brother and sister is beginning to become unsettled...

The sister and brother's social circle will become wider and wider, the bond will become deeper and deeper, and they will gather friends who pursue their dreams together.

The story encounters a dissolution crisis midway through, which is old-fashioned but still works well.

The final outcome was pressure from major gaming companies...

The betrayal of his companions, the sacrifice of his sister, and the awakening of his brother...

Finally, a comeback! What a great moment!

Hei Yuming's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he came up with more and more ideas. His hands danced on the keyboard, and the clicking sound echoed in the living room for a long time without interruption.

Zi Zhigong did not disturb him and even lowered his voice.

……

Become!

It took Kuroba Akira an entire night to finish a rough outline of the novel.

The basic character settings, character relationships, plot conflicts, and subsequent developments have all been set up.

But this is just the beginning.

With my weak writing skills, the degree to which I can improve the completion of this work will be the key to success or failure.

But let's stop here for today. The foundation has been laid, and it will take one to two weeks to add bricks and tiles.

After saving the file, Hei Yuming stretched and looked up at the clock. It was already three o'clock in the morning. In two hours, it would be dawn.

Kuroba Akira was so immersed in his creation that he didn't realize the passage of time.

Creation is so cruel...and so addictive.

Although it is hell, it is also full of enchanting charm...

Make people want to stop.

Hei Yuming returned to the desktop, clicked on the newly created document, right-clicked and rename it.

Now it’s time to give this new work a name.

In fact, naming a light novel is surprisingly simple.

Anyway, just paste the core content into the title of the book and be done with it.

So, the title of this work is called...

My sister is actually an Hgame production master?!

As long as the theme of the story is clear, naming the novel is the easiest part.

Finally, I need a pen name...

Ok……

What came to mind was the funny name that Grandma Kobayashi gave herself.

White.
