Single Unlimited Wonderful Life

Levi looked at the text on the screen and smiled. He could feel Kasumigaoka Shiu's kindness. The editor she was talking about, if nothing else, should be her editor in charge, the one named Machida Enko. The single royal sister.

After saying good night to each other, Levi closed the LINE client. However, he would not go to bed so early. He was not in the mood to play games now, so he took advantage of this time to carefully review the first volume of his debut work. If there are any errors, omissions or inappropriateness, it is best to correct them in time.

On the other side, after Kasumigaoka Shiyu broke off the chat with Li Wei, she took out her phone, opened the phone book, and stopped with her finger on the name of "30-year-old single sister".

Kasumigaoka Shiyu dialed the phone, walked to the balcony, and watched the night view in the distance. She did not live with her family, but lived in a small apartment alone to facilitate her work. From the balcony, you can see the distant night view. In the past, such a view could bring her a lot of inspiration.

The phone was connected, and there was a mature, slightly lazy voice on the other end.

"Ah, it's Xiao Shiyu. Are you calling your sister so late? Is there something important? For example, the new series has been finalized?"

Machida Enko's voice is quite magnetic, mature and intellectual. Just by listening to the voice, the listener can conjure up the image of an intellectual lady in their mind. However, Kasumigaoka Shiu, who is familiar with the other person's nature, knows that people cannot just look at it. On the outside, Machida Enoko has been single for thirty years, but there is a reason.

"Ms. Yuanzi, I have good news and bad news to tell you, which one should I listen to first?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu leaned on the railing and spoke in a brisk tone.

"Then let's hear the bad news first." Machida Enzi, who was drinking in the izakaya, put down the beer glass in her hand with a smile on her face.

"My new series is going to be postponed for about two months," Kasumigaoka Shiu said.

"Why? Didn't you already agree before that the concept of the new series has been completed?" Machida Enko said with some surprise. She took out a skewer of chicken from the plate in front of her and quickly put it into her mouth.

"Because I have a new idea here. If I can successfully realize the new idea, then this new series will definitely not have the same problems as the debut. This time, I am ready to hit the sales of millions of copies. ." Kasumigaoka Shiyu's tone also became serious. The knowledge she learned from Li Wei alone was enough to improve her writing ability to a higher level, and there was a lot of knowledge in Li Wei that she didn't know. She still needs to continue learning.

"Oh? It's a good thing to be confident, but are you sure you can hit one million copies in sales this time? Enough of the bad things, what about the good things?" Machida Enzi said, although it is already off work time, she has a good personal relationship with Kasumigaoka Shiu. So she didn't object to chatting with Kasumigaoka Shiu about work during the break.

"I have found a very strong light novel writer. Although he is still a newcomer, his works have great potential. It is not an exaggeration to sell millions of copies." Kasumigaoka Shiu said seriously.

"Oh? There is such a person?" Machida Enzi was a little surprised. She knew that Kasumigaoka Shiu was a very proud person inside. Even those seniors with good grades would not bow their heads easily to be favored by her. , indicating that this author definitely has two skills.

Shiyu Kasumigaoka continued: "Unlike the niche daily love novels that I am in, he writes fantasy and adventure works. Don't we have no suitable popular works in our library? I think I can give his works a try .”

Machida Enzi was silent. Fantasy adventure light novels are a very popular category, and it is also the most competitive category. Fusugawa Bunko is overwhelmed by several other libraries in the traditional fantasy adventure category. .

If a top-notch fantasy adventure light novel can really be unearthed, this will be tantamount to sounding the clarion call for counterattack for Fusukawa Bunko.

Immortal Kawa Bunko has had great success in the past, but under the influence of high-level decision-making errors more than ten years ago, Immortal Kawa Bunko, which was originally in the first echelon, has gradually fallen to its current status of being at the bottom of the second echelon. The original senior executive had already resigned, but the impact of such bad decision-making had taken Fusukawa Bunko ten years to recover.

The current Immortal River Library is very embarrassing. Those outstanding light novel authors give priority to the largest libraries when submitting articles. It is difficult for libraries like Immortal River, which is considered to be the last in the second echelon, to Excellent submissions received. And this has also formed a vicious cycle. Even if Immortal River conducts a prize-based call for manuscripts, it is difficult to receive excellent manuscripts. Therefore, when it comes to Wang Daoxiang's fantasy adventure works, Immortal River Library is being pushed to the ground by several other large libraries. life.

Chapter 26. Meeting on the rooftop

Machida Enzi thought a lot. If the other party really has the ability to turn the tide as Kasumigaoka Shiu said, then the library can also make certain concessions. After all, the current Immortal River is only a second-tier library, and it is also a second-tier library. The end of the crane may fall to the third line at any time.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko, are you sure that the other party has such ability? And there is another important thing, that is, if the other party is really so powerful, why should they choose us, Immortal Sichuan? No matter whether it is Tou Talk or Lightning Strike, they are no better than us. Is the Immortal River much stronger?" Machida Enzi spoke seriously, expressing her inner doubts.

However, it is normal for her to have such doubts. After all, top light novel writers like to submit their works to first-tier or top-tier libraries to enjoy the most comprehensive publicity channels. Second-tier libraries like Immortal River rely on relatively unpopular daily romance and mysterious supernatural works. These "leftovers" that big libraries look down upon can submit top-notch fantasy and adventure works. If this It's true, that's a huge surprise.

"I still have a certain degree of confidence in my ability to appreciate, and seeing is believing. I will arrange for you to meet him in the next two days. Like me, he is a high school student, and he is a genius like me. Unlike mediocre people, he is a real genius." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said in a proud tone, she herself felt a little strange, it was obviously Li Wei who had such ability, how could she be so proud.

Machida Enzi put down her chopsticks and listened carefully to Kasumigaoka Shiu's words. She even forgot to eat.

Machida Enko was still willing to believe in Kasumigaoka Shiu's appreciation ability. Since Kasumigaoka Shiu said that the other party had real talent and unique skills, she would believe it once and meet him once.

Anyway, the current situation of Wenku has reached this point, no matter how bad it is, it won't be much worse, so she doesn't have the slightest airs.

Machida Enzi said: "Since the other person is a high school student, he definitely does not have as much freedom as adults. The time to meet is up to you and him. I can make time at any time."

Machida Enzi has already made a decision. Anyway, Bunko is now like this, and people are starting to lose heart. She is just a dead horse now. If it weren't for her parents having a certain amount of shares in Immortal Sichuan Bunko and enjoying the dividends every year, otherwise, if Immortal Sichuan Bunko was such a half-dead bastard, she would have quit a long time ago.

Now, in addition to Kasumigaoka Shiu, she has another author, but generally there are three to four authors under an editor. Her editor is not full yet, and one more powerful author will also be a good thing for her to compete for the position of editor-in-chief. A good thing.

At this time, Levi didn't know that he had come into the sight of an editor with a certain relationship at Fusugawa Bunko. As a capable and well-connected editor, Machida Enko would be able to avoid a lot of trouble by having her name on her name.

……………………

During the lunch break at the private Toyosaki Academy, Levi saw a slightly petite girl with blond hair and twin tails on the rooftop.

Sawamura Eiri looked at Li Wei with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. After all, a stranger like Li Wei suddenly asked her to come out to discuss things. If it weren't for An Yilunya's guarantee, she would not have paid attention to Li Wei's invitation.

"An Yi-kun has told you my purpose of coming, Eiri-san." Levi sat down on a bench near the iron fence at the edge of the building, keeping a certain distance from Eiri Sawamura, neither Too close, but not too far, so that the voice of the speaker cannot be heard clearly.

Ying Lili was holding a lunch box in her hand. She had already started to enjoy lunch before Levi arrived, but now that Levi was here, it would be a bit rude to continue eating.

Yinglili put the lunch box aside, looked at Levi who was some distance away from her, and said: "I didn't expect that someone would really be willing to accompany him to fool around. For that kind of messy idea, you are willing to invest 10 million in it. , I really don’t know what you are thinking.”

Ying Lili's words were quite rude, because she had no intention of participating in game production at all. In her opinion, An Yilun was indeed qualified as a "critic", but the gap between him and the creator was still too big. She is too old to take on the responsibility of a producer. It is precisely because of this that she rejected An Yilunye's invitation before.

If An Yilun hadn't told her that she had secured investment, she would not have come to see Li Wei at all. She came here just to satisfy her curiosity and wanted to take a look. She was willing to pay 10 million yuan. What kind of fool is he who was taken advantage of?

"Maybe I was infected by An Yijun's enthusiasm. Isn't it a very interesting thing for a group of amateurs to work hard and make a qualified game?" Li Wei said with a smile.

"So you just let that guy An Yi do whatever he wants? Your ten million will most likely be wasted." Ying Lili said mercilessly.

"It's not a waste of time. It's just a matter of whether the game is produced quickly or slowly. Our game production team is also capable," Levi said.

Li Wei's calm attitude made Sawamura Eiri a little curious. People who can come up with 10 million in cash are not only rich and noble, but they are definitely not ordinary people. Anyway, it is difficult for her to understand other rich people. Weird, even though she is also a rich person.

Ten million in cash is equivalent to her two years of pocket money. Sawamura Eiri is not a person who likes to spend money randomly. She has saved a lot of pocket money since she was a child. Ten million in cash , she can also get it, but she will never invest the money in An Yilunye, because she knows the limits of An Yilunye's ability very well.

Levi said: "In our production team, Kasumigaoka Shiu and I are responsible for the script. As for the illustrations, I also have a certain degree of confidence. Just like Eiri-san, you have been admitted to the Tokyo Metropolitan University of Arts in advance, and so am I. , in addition to having a certain level in oil painting, I also have a professional level in illustration. And I also know programming and music. In terms of music, I have passed the professional level in piano and violin, and I also have certain composition skills. ability."

Sawamura Eiri was shocked. She had seen many good and bad people, but this was the first time he had seen a monster as versatile as Levi.

Chapter 27. Is this still the loyal golden retriever?

Yinglili did not doubt that Li Wei was lying, because such lies were very easy to be exposed, so Li Wei's confident tone showed that he really had such ability.

Ying Lili said: "With such ability, you can complete a love game by yourself, why do you need to bring that guy Aki with you?"

Li Wei smiled and said: "I was probably moved by his enthusiasm. An Yijun's enthusiasm for the second dimension is like a martyr. So, I gave him a chance to show himself, but this opportunity he Whether he can grasp it or not depends on his ability."

Yinglili turned her head, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice: "Then you will be disappointed. That guy's creative ability is about zero. He is just a giant baby who must be supported by others to move forward. Very soon Soon, you’ll get tired of him.”

Levi raised his eyebrows. He did not expect that the loyal golden retriever would say such a thing. In the plot, Eri Sawamura plays the tsundere role. No matter how unreasonable the request is, An Yilun will do her best. to complete. But how come we are here, Sawamura Eiri has such an attitude towards An Yilun? Is this still the loyal golden retriever?

What Levi doesn't know is that Eiri Sawamura, who has received an elite education, is far more mature than her peers in some aspects. It is precisely because of this that Eiri Sawamura evaluates An Yilun relatively objectively. Also, I didn’t bring my own subjective feelings into it.

Levi said: "I am willing to believe in him. He has powerful mobility far beyond ordinary people, and no one is born knowing it. He still has room to grow."

Sawamura Eiri looked at Li Wei and said: "Since the game production team already has you, Li Weijun, in the painting, why are you still insisting on bringing me into the production team? In this case, wouldn't there be an overlap of personnel's authority? "

Levi smiled and said: "Because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder in some aspects. I either don't do something or do it to the best of my ability. Although every member of this production team is an amateur, , everyone has his or her own shining point. What kind of sparks of inspiration will a group of capable people gather together? Isn’t this kind of thing very interesting? "

"It's interesting, but I don't want to work with him. That guy Aki still owes me an unpaid debt." Sawamura Eiri gritted her teeth and then controlled her expression.

Li Wei also has a certain understanding of the grievances between An Yilunya and Sawamura Eiri. To put it in a simple and crude way, the two people have personality problems and they will not give in after disagreements. , and eventually drifted apart, and the two did not communicate face-to-face for several years.

Since elementary school, An Yirunya and Sawamura Eiri have been involved in the otaku circle, but they have differences in their attitudes towards otakus. An Yilun also believes that if you like something, you must express your love and show it openly, so he never hides his love for the second dimension. It is precisely because of this that he is basically socially dead in school. The social situation is so bad, except for a few friends at home, there is no acquaintance with whom I can even talk.

Because of her own education, Eri Sawamura was relatively more reserved. She concealed herself very well in school and maintained her persona of a blond lady without revealing the truth that she was a homebody. But because of this, she and An Yilun became more and more estranged. It was not until this time that An Yilun approached her to make a game, and she and An Yilun officially spoke.

To be honest, Levi is not that interested in girls with tsundere personalities, because tsundere characters are sometimes too troublesome. It looks fine in anime, but when he actually gets to know such a girl Only when we get along with each other will we realize how troublesome the arrogant character is.

Many otakus are like Ye Gong and they talk about liking tsundere. But when they really meet a tsundere-type girl, they hide faster than anyone else. They even think that games are much better than tsundere girls. At least the games will. Give players direct feedback. As for the arrogant girl, you can't guess what she is thinking. If she doesn't say three words correctly, she will start to lose her temper. Except for licking dogs, who can a normal person stand such an arrogant temper? .

It is precisely because of this that Levi does not intend to have too much interaction with Eiri Sawamura. This kind of arrogant girl is very troublesome even in daily communication, and he does not have the energy to get used to it. Looking at each other.

Therefore, if Yinglili is willing to join the game production team, it will be a happy thing for Li Wei. If she is not willing, Li Wei will not force her.

"I'm not interested in your personal grudges with An Yi-kun. I don't like to force others to make choices. Eiri-san, you don't want to work with An Yi-kun. I'm sorry that I couldn't attract an artistic talent like you." Join the production team." Levi smiled calmly.

After studying a lot of psychological information, Levi still lacks experience in how to get along with women, but he has gradually matured in theory.

Now he has his own style in every word and deed. It is not a big deal for him that Eri is unwilling to join the production team. Anyway, Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kato Megumi are in place, and the most basic conditions are already in place. Sawamura Eiriri's presence is just a bonus, not a necessary part of the group.

Levi stood up and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for disturbing your lunch time. I said a lot of boring nonsense. Student Yingli, please forget the conversation we just had."

Levi turned around and walked towards the entrance to the rooftop, but at this moment, Yinglili suddenly stopped the leaving Levi.

"Wait!"

Levi turned his head and looked at Yingli, who had already stood up. With a "confused" expression on his face, he said, "Is there anything else? Yingli, classmate."

Chapter 28. Shortcomings in creative ability

Yinglili's expression was a little hesitant. She raised her head and said, "I will join this production team."

Now it was Li Wei's turn to be puzzled. He looked unwilling to join in just now, but now he changed his mind. Although fickleness is a girl's privilege, people like Sawamura Eiri who don't mean what they say can easily let listeners Her words were misunderstood.

Sawamura Eiri seemed a little shy and said quickly: "If you don't keep an eye on that guy, Li Weijun, your investment will be in vain. In order to prevent this worst situation from happening, I decided to join the production team .”

Levi narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not interested in what Eiri Sawamura's purpose was. This was a matter between her and An Yirunya. A bystander like him did not want to get involved in such an awkward relationship.

The atmosphere was a little weird, but Levi finally broke the silence and said: "Then leave your contact information first. I will look for a vacant classroom in the school to use as a temporary residence for the production team."

"Okay, everything depends on your arrangement, Li Weijun." Sawamura Eiri nodded.

Having achieved his goal, Li Wei didn't want to stay on the rooftop to enjoy the breeze, so he decisively left the rooftop and returned to the classroom.

Eri Sawamura was the only one left on the rooftop.

"What a weird guy. He is willing to invest 10 million for Aki. Does he have other purposes? But having said that, he is also somewhat capable of pulling that monster Kasumigaoka Shiu into the production team." Ze Murae Riri whispered to herself.

Sawamura Eiri felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. She always felt that Li Wei seemed to be planning something, but she had no evidence and could not see through Li Wei's motives, so she prepared to take a closer look and see if Li Wei What exactly does Wei want to do?

After Li Wei returned to the classroom, he met An Yilunye head-on.

"Li Weijun, did Ying Lili agree?" An Yilun also asked.

Li Wei looked at An Yilun's anxious expression and said: "It went well, she agreed to join the production team. Now at least I don't have to do the illustrations alone. The illustrations are not so rushed, and I can have time to do some background work." It’s music.”

An Yilun also breathed a sigh of relief. The 10 million investment was both encouragement and pressure. He wanted to complete the game before the winter exhibition, but the production team only had a few people and could not cooperate with a professional production company. It's even harder to finish it in half a year than it is.

Li Wei returned to his seat and said to An Yilun: "An Yijun, can I take a look at your specific game idea now?"

After hearing Li Wei's words, An Yilun froze like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Um... can you wait for two days? The idea is not completed yet, I still need a little time." An Yilun also said with a guilty conscience.
