I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 427

"Um..." Yinglili stared blankly at the scene in front of her, holding her head in her hands, confused and unable to think, and asked: "So, what happened?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at her and said coldly: "There's no need to think about it. A brain like yours can't sort anything out."

"What, do you think I'm a fool?!" Yinglili glared at her angrily and asked.

But suddenly, both of them received a text message on their mobile phones, which put an end to their curiosity all day long.

——[Kato Megumi: There are always people who work well. 】

"Huh?" Ying Lili and Shi Yu were stunned.

Chapter 235 Competition! New game script

"I've called you here this time because I have a more interesting job to introduce to you."

On Sunday morning, in the editorial office of Sanwa Bunko, all the outstanding authors of Kagurazaka Iris gathered together. After Li Yan, who did not know all the information, arrived late, Kagurazaka Iris finally arrived. Announce the company's cooperation plan.

Kagurazaka Iris glanced at the several writers around him with a smile, held his chin with his hand, and asked with a smile: "Who is interested in working part-time to write a series of game scripts for a game company that has been cooperating with our company for a long time?"

The expressions of everyone present, Senjumura Sei, Uesugi En, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Izumi Masamune, Shido Kunimitsu, Kusanagi Ryuuki and the others all changed.

"Okay, a few of them seem to be very interested." Kagurazaka Iris observed for a while, showing a slight smile, and thought happily.

"Game script, um, Miss Kagurazaka, what kind of game script is it?"

Among them, Shitong Guoguang was one of them. He immediately asked with an interested look.

Kagurazaka Iris took out the planning book and said to them: "It's very simple. Our company has always had a cooperative relationship with a small and medium-sized game club called Eagle Leap. A game that can touch people's hearts is not only What is needed is an interesting game setting, and what is even more important is an interesting story setting and character creation. For example, "American X-Day" is an outstanding work that can surpass most American dramas in terms of plot, not to mention that it always pays attention to It’s a Japanese game club that created the script.”

An eagle leaps?

Both Li Yan and Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt that the name was a bit familiar, but they realized that this game club did not seem to be a well-known large company.

She looked at the plan book, read out the requirements, and said: "In terms of game type, it is a Japanese-style fantasy game with a combat system."

"Forehead……"

Immediately, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Kusanagi Ryuuki, and Shido Kunimitsu showed troubled expressions. The first request almost eliminated them, writers of romance series, daily series, and school series. .

The remaining Li Yan, Senjumura Sei and Izumi Masamune all have some experience and skills in the fantasy system, which is almost exactly in line with their professional abilities.

"Then, the second requirement is to be able to write a story for all ages, without involving socially sensitive themes, such as homosexual love, and the brother-control or sister-control plot that has always been popular in Japanese animation."

Kagurazaka Iris quickly read out the second request.

"..."

Li Yan, Ryuki Kusanagi and others looked at Izumi Masamune, who was originally full of confidence and gearing up, and seemed to have lost the color of his life for a moment.

"Why...this hateful society doesn't understand the charm of my sister at all..." Masamune Izumi scratched his head and complained in a low voice, almost groaning in pain.

"Zhengzong, if the other party has such a request, just write a novel that does not involve the emotions of your sister. After all, it is a game for all ages. As a professional author, making plot compromises is sometimes a kind of professionalism." Li Yan looked at Izumi Masamune who seemed to be giving up, and whispered some advice.

Izumi Masamune was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, pondered for a moment, sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile to Li Yan: "I'm sorry... Senior, as expected, I still can't do it. If I don't write about my sister in a novel, for me, That novel would have lost its general fun."

Li Yan, Shido Kunimitsu and Kusanagi Ryuuki looked at this partner who spoke so naturally and as a matter of course with complicated eyes, and they all sighed: "You are hopeless..."

Kagurazaka Iris looked at them with a smile and said: "The other company's requirement is that the author's popularity must reach a certain level. In this regard, I believe that every teacher in front of me has enough I have the qualifications to do this, well~~~ I’m calling you all here. Actually, it’s just for the first two points, to ask how many people are willing to follow up. Writers who write romance works can also try to write a fantasy battle story. Come on out, and... Izumi-sensei, isn’t the first work a fantasy battle series? As long as the welfare plot and the girl control plot are slightly removed, I think it will be very competitive.”

"No...after all, I am already in charge of a work, and I am a prospective candidate, so I knew early on that I probably wouldn't be able to get such a job. Although I am very interested, I have to use a combat-based story to win this one. Colleagues in the field, the possibility is too slim, so I can only give up.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought quietly for a moment, and then explained.

Her words can almost represent the voices of writers of the same genre as Kusanagi Ryuki and Shido Kunimitsu. The most important point is that the field advantage is too low and the energy is limited. If you rashly participate in some extra work, if you can't go all out, you might as well It is more practical to choose to do the job at hand.

Kagurazaka Iris was a little helpless. He looked at the three of them and said, "Um...that's it."

Izumi Masamune said: "I have very similar reasons to Kasumi Shiko-senpai. After all, the new work is still in the development stage, and I have to take on the responsibility of taking care of a family, so... I'm sorry, Miss Kagurazaka, I won’t be able to work part-time this time either.”

"Well, this is understandable. After all, I am also looking forward to the first place in the last essay competition being able to fully realize its potential." Kagurazaka Iris nodded and said.

As a result, everyone in the editorial office suddenly calmed down.

Kagurazaka Iris, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Izumi Masamune and others also noticed it. The two of them never said a word or even asked a question, quietly waiting for the last moment.

The types of works are somewhat conflicting, and they are the strongest writers ranking first and second in Sanhe Bunko in terms of sales and strength. Very early on, each of them knew that the other might stay, and they have been waiting patiently for this opportunity. , finally, in a moment of tranquility, a strong smell of flames filled the office.

Uesugi En, who was a dark horse author last year and whose sales almost matched that of "Fantasy Demon Swordsman", and Sei Senjumura, the super best-selling novel author who has been the No. 1 sales champion for two years, are both interested in competing for this game. Script work.

"It seems that there are finally two teachers who plan to take this opportunity to have a little competition." Kagurazaka Iris seemed to understand the thoughts of Li Yan and Senjumura Sei, showing a smile and looking at them.

"..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the two authors standing together, and even she herself became slightly nervous. The story of "Fantasy Demon Swordsman", she, Uesugi En, including Izumi, almost all bought this work and studied it. If analyzed purely from her point of view, Senjumura Masuma is worthy of being the only one born in a literary family. Female, her writing style is like that of a professional literary writer, and she meticulously describes the exciting storyline. In terms of pure writing skills, not only is she far superior to Uesugi Yan, but she is not confident that she can win over this junior high school candidate.

However, Uesugi is not without her advantages. As a top student in science, Uesugi's works are almost impeccable in the description of battles, and the description of emotions is crisp and meaningful. Even she, who has always been indifferent to blood, has always had I couldn't help but follow it, and I saw that the "name of an old thief" was not false.

Therefore, even she is a little curious as to who among the top two leaders of Sanhe Library can write the most outstanding works in this field...

"..." Li Yan looked at the plan book in Kagurazaka Iris's hand. Sure enough, he also realized that Senjumura Zheng, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be waiting for something. He was not the only one who was interested in the unknown territory of light novel writers. I feel very interested in this.

——[…I’ve always wanted to ask you, do you find it fun when playing games? 】

——[Yes, it will be fun. 】

"I have always had hope. If one day I have the right opportunity, I can have a good competition with Mr. Sugi. Can you go all out this time, teacher?"

As Kato Megumi answered him in his heart, in front of Li Yan, Qianjumura Zheng, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and looked at him, asking with a smile.

※※※

Li Yan once had a game dream. It should be said that almost many young people like him would dream of leading the development of a game. He feels that in addition to film and television, the vehicle for telling stories that can vividly express the storyline and emotions described in words is game interaction.

As a result, on this day, an extremely rare opportunity really fell in front of Li Yan, which ignited Li Yan's belief that he must win. After passing the Department of Physics at the University of Tokyo, he rarely met his career goals. , so excited that I hope to win.

One Yuan Apartment, Room 505.

"Mashiro, I told you not to run around naked!!"

At noon, in the hot weather, it seems that in order to save money on air conditioning, Nanami Aoyama's shy and annoyed scolding can always be heard on the rooftop recently. September is the hot season, and it is also the season when school starts. At the end of After completing the writing work of the eighth volume, Li Yan originally thought that he would stop writing for a while. However, amid the noise of Nanami and Mashiro on the roof and the loud sound of the video game BGM downstairs, Li Yan himself sat In front of the computer, start searching for game works developed by ealge Jump, and research the types of works this company is good at producing.

Eagle Jump, a game company founded in 1995, has a small number of employees and a small registered capital. It is rumored on the Internet that it is at risk of bankruptcy several times. However, the games it develops have always been popular because of its unique style and careful workmanship. There are many loyal fans who support this company, and many technicians joined Eagle Jump because of its fans.

In 2010, the best-selling work "Elf Story 1" was developed, and in 2012, the follow-up work "Elf Story 2" was developed. Due to personnel changes and other effects, the sales of the game sequel were not satisfactory, so it was not released again for many years. After the news of a third sequel came out, many loyal fans originally thought that this classic series was cut in half. It seems that this year there was surprising news about the development of a third sequel, which caused a lot of discussion.

"...Wait a minute, where have you seen the cover and name of this game?"

Li Yan was slightly startled, staring at the game cover on the screen that was somewhat similar to Kingdom Hearts style, always feeling a sense of déjà vu.
