I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 440

"Sorry, Ao-chan, I made an appointment with other classmates to buy clothes together, and I have to rush over now. Hehe, then, see you two."

Ying Ningning stood in front of the subway entrance. After hurriedly waving to them, she separated from Li Yan and Liangfeng Aoye and ran towards the defense line of the subway station in a hurry.

"Huh... Ning Ning is really the same as before."

Liangfeng Qingye looked at Ning Ning's leaving figure, showing a somewhat helpless expression and said.

Li Yan looked at his phone, checked the route carefully, and said to Liangfeng Aoye: "It's getting late now, Liangfeng, you should go home. If you're here... take the bus back to your house. How about something faster?"

"Yes, here, it's not very far from my home. It would be more convenient to take a ride back." Liangfeng Aoye said with a smile.

After leaving the subway entrance, the two of them walked along the highway and soon came to a quiet pedestrian street dedicated to walking by the river. As long as they continued walking for one mile, they could sit down and reach the cool breeze. Buses in residential areas.

"Senior, you have worked really hard today. Please have a good rest after you go back."

Liangfeng Qingye walked behind, looked at Li Yan's back, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Liangfeng, for coming here to cheer for me." Li Yan turned around and said thanks.

"It's nothing. After all, the senior's hard work is obvious to all in this week. I also learned a lot from the sidelines. Today is really a close call... By the way, when will the game designed by the senior be released? It always feels special. I’m looking forward to playing the games designed by our seniors.”

Liangfeng Aoye asked with an expectant smile.

The wind by the river was a bit strong, blowing at Li Yan and causing Qingye's beautiful blue hair tips to fly in the cool breeze.

"...that, Liangfeng."

Li Yan did not turn around and stood on this quiet riverside walkway. The golden dusk light sprinkled on the river and on his body.

"The first game I made can probably be played by a player like you, Liangfeng. Although I can't put the work on the PS4 platform and show it vividly in front of you and other players, through text and Introduction, I still feel that I have completed that game work and have not cut off this one."

Li Yan turned around again, smiled, looked at Liangfeng Qingye behind him, and said.

"...Eh?" Liangfeng Qingye blinked and did not react for a moment. Liangfeng Qingye, who had been following Li Yan, slowly slowed down and stood by the river.

"..."

Li Yan could not deceive Liangfeng Qingye, who was so serious and full of energy and deeply trusted him. He fell silent again and then said: "My work was not selected. It should be said that I have always been right." I didn’t understand the game script deeply enough, so I suffered a big loss from experience. In terms of votes, it was five to seven, so I lost... However, Liangfeng, my work is completed. At least I still have you to try my game. , Sure enough, making games is indeed fun. I have always enjoyed this process. Next time, my work will definitely be made into a finished product that you can play with a controller, so..."

In the conference room, Li Yan faced the results of the voting. The anxious competition finally came to an end through voting in a tug-of-war. All investors voted for Qianshou Village. Li Yan quietly said Faced with this tragic failure in the creative process.

In the dusk, the cool breeze green leaves in front of Li Yan stood there, staring at him blankly.

"Has senior's work been rejected?"

Liangfeng Aoye asked softly.

"……yes."

"Because there are fatal flaws, the game script I produced still has many shortcomings, Liangfeng. Thank you for accompanying me today... Although I am a little reluctant, I have no excuse to excuse this failure, but I won’t stop here.”

Li Yan looked at Liangfeng Qingye who was covering his heart.

For more than a week, when he was confused, he and Suangfeng Aoye got to know each other. Facing Liangfeng Aoba who was afraid of moving forward, he somewhat overestimated his ability and tried to use the process of creation and competition to enlighten this optimistic and hesitant girl.

She is a high school student who knows how to share the joy of work and overcome difficulties. During the week, towards the end, the more she feels like a companion who plans to fight and break out of Koshien together. Therefore, Li Yan knew very early on that his loss would eventually cause some harm to her...

"Yes! Yes, that's it. Senior, it's okay. I really think your work is great. I've been checking the information and checking the details very seriously. I work very hard, even if it's I also……"

Liangfeng Qingye, who was originally smiling, recalled the scenes of Li Yan's efforts and the scenes where he always took a break from busy work to enlighten her when she was confused. In the end, her smile could no longer be maintained. In the end, she failed to live up to expectations. Tears lowered her head more and more, gradually flowing down her cheeks.

"Yes, I'm sorry...Senior, you have worked very hard, but you have not been accepted. Why? You have worked hard to this point..."

This is reality, this is society.

Even if you work so hard, you may not be recognized by others.

Simply blending in there, watching from the side, makes people feel chilled, unable to help but feel worthless, unable to help but feel sad...

"..."

Li Yan was silent, stretched out his hand, and gently placed his palm on Liangfeng Qingye's round head.

"While the sunshine is gentle, while the breeze is not dry, and while the flowers are blooming until they are in full bloom, we still have a chance to get up. There is still a long way to go, and there are still many deep thoughts and memories that we have yet to talk about. Cool breeze, I don’t know if this is a belated life experience... Life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, but this is just the beginning. There is no need to stop and there is no need to be afraid. When I was a child, I fell down when I was learning to walk. Many times? I am already ready for the next departure. If you are determined to get out of society, remember not to cry. "

Li Yan didn't really like to talk about the philosophy of life, but every time he came to realize something, he would directly explain these troubles to Liang Feng Qingye who was walking behind.

Failure always accompanies hard work, the same goes for starting to write light novels, the same goes for entering college, the same goes for secret love, the same goes for family...

The only way to escape is to get up.

In the dusk sky, Li Yan continued to take Liangfeng Aoye to the station, and Liangfeng Aoye followed quietly.

"Senior, we failed."

"In the end, I just cried. Everyone can understand that the senior's pain is stronger than anyone else. However, when he felt that he could no longer teach me how to pursue my dreams happily for the time being, he taught me how to endure failure..."

"Perhaps, after I finish learning what my seniors taught me, I can really go out of society and pursue my career dreams..."

Liangfeng Aoye somewhat understood why, behind this silhouette, he had unknowingly followed the gazes and figures of so many people.

The conference room of Eagle Jump Company.

Hazuki Shizuku sat quietly in her seat, quietly reading the game script written by Uesugi En.

"Miss Hazuki, what are you doing here? The meeting about the new work is about to begin."

Abo Genhaizi, who was in charge of coordinating the IT team, opened the door, looked at her, and asked in an indifferent tone.

"...I'm still studying Uesugi-sensei's script." Hazuki Shizuku said with a smile.

"So, this script has been rejected by the investors, right?"

"Oh, yes……"

Because it doesn’t look very profitable.

For any company aiming to make a profit, profit is the most important criterion.

The script competition between Uesugi En and Chijumura Sei was almost the most intense competition in Hazuki Shizuku's career. After both of them introduced their ideas and script stories, the experienced Hazuki Shizuku found that she could not judge what to do. The verdict, it should be said, if the two works were given to her separately, she would definitely make an excellent game from the two works together.

As a result, in the scorched earth of competition, the only choice was to vote together with the opinions of all senior management and investors.

As gamers, Hazuki Shizuku, Yagami Hikaru, and Abogan Kaizi all voted for this work. In the end, the three investors and several team leaders were more optimistic about the equally excellent Senjumura Sei. work.

"This is a good script. I really want to write it and give it a try." Ha Yuezhi pinched her chin and said with a smile.
