I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

Chapter 681

In the afternoon, in a quiet Tokyo city, the lights were turned on early in the single apartment in Shinjuku. In room 505, a face with dark circles was facing the computer and typing on the keyboard.

The writing of the final volume of "Super Academy War" is still in progress.

"Uh……"

Li Yan hadn't had a good sleep for several days. His eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. They opened them so wide that they didn't let the eyelids droop, so that his face looked a little too scary.

"Huh... Although you are not allowed to be lazy, Uesugi-sensei, your current appearance is definitely too exaggerated."

Suddenly, a girl next to her took off her earphones, glanced at Li Yan, and vomited.

"?"

Li Yan suddenly raised his head and looked over, and suddenly found that Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, who was sitting not far from him, looked at him with a carefree expression.

"... Teacher Xia Shizi?!" Li Yan asked in a daze.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu sighed and said, "Yes, Uesugi-sensei, I have been here for ten minutes, why should I be surprised?"

"...!" Li Yan quickly remembered.

Shiyu Kasumigaoka, a candidate for the university entrance exam today, is now a special officer of an old thief who has been commissioned by the editorial department of Sanhe Library to urge the deadline to postpone the paper for a full month.

Li Yan almost couldn't sit upright anymore. Almost his whole body became pale with the color of his life lost. His voice was hoarse and painful while he coded words and said, "Teacher Xia Shizi, you really can't stand up and talk. I slept less than seven hours for three consecutive days. Even if it’s a vacation, this kind of suffering is a mental and intellectual torment for any author..."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu yawned, wiped his eyes and said, "Didn't you ask for it? It was clearly stated that the last volume of the novel will be published in February. In the end, it deceived your poor hundreds of thousands of readers and fans. In the industry, only you, Uesugi Yan, dare to tremble with readers, but your readers are still M who are willing to trust you time and time again, and other authors will die once."

Li Yan stopped with some unconscious fingers, and looked helplessly at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, who brought the exam materials, computers and even headphones and skin care products here to prepare for the exam and review, and said, "I didn't mean it. Don't make me so perverted."

"This is a compliment to you, really." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu exhaled, took out the reference textbook, and said.

"...It always feels a bit rude to praise people with special terms for sexual addiction." Li Yan thought silently.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu sat at the desk in Li Yan's bedroom, looking boredly at Li Yan's books, and then at the layout of this room. This is where Li Yan lives. She knew Ying Lili was quite familiar with this environment, but it was the first time she came in.

The Japanese light novel market is the second largest two-dimensional creation market after comics. It is home to hundreds of thousands of practitioners in Japan. 90% of the authors cannot rely on manuscript fees to support themselves, and 10% of the authors can become professional writers. 3% of the authors were able to complete all the stories without being cut in the end. As a result, only 1% of the authors were able to sell more than 100,000 copies, which was able to sell 1.76 million copies in two years of serialization. The author can be described as a monster.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa had planned to come over long ago to see how Uesugi Yan, who is considered to be a creative [ghost] by the industry, completed this popular work, so after learning that Li Yan once again released pigeons for readers, edited Kagura When Sakachangbu couldn't get out, he authorized Shiyu Kasumigaoka to oversee it.

"However, Uesugi-sensei is of course very strong, part of the reason is that his update speed is quite amazing. The average light novel author completes a volume in two months to attract popularity, while the popular writers drag on the later. After all, the work In the later writing, the difficulty is getting higher and higher. Some authors will not publish a book for two years, and even at the end of the writing, there are several that are not updated in order to preserve the value... Mr. Uesugi always keeps updating at a certain speed. One volume is produced in two to three months. At this rate, with 11 volumes and 1.76 million copies sold, the tenacity of creation alone is enough to be called a monster."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu secretly looked at Li Yan and thought.

"That one."

Li Yan was silent for a while, looking at the side face of Shiwa Kasumigaoka, his colleague who suddenly visited and supervised him, as well as the preparation materials she moved over, and asked: "Aren't you going to take the Waseda exam in early April? You suddenly got caught by Miss Kagurazaka. Please come over and supervise me, is it really okay?"

Kasumigaoka Shiwa shook her beautiful black hair with her hand, and said confidently: "Of course, I had enough deviation to enter the Waseda Culture Department, what I am doing now is to consolidate the foundation."

"I actually always have a question I want to ask Uesugi-sensei."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu began to stare at her surroundings and asked: "When I first walked in, I always felt that there was a woman living here before. Is it my illusion?"

"?!"

When Li Yan heard this, he immediately looked at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, who was staring at him suspiciously, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

What is going on, what is going on with this keen observation!

"This is a woman's intuition." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu seemed to know everything Li Yan was in astonishment, and replied.

"No, no, no, you have misunderstood. It is absolutely nothing to say that there are girls in my room!" Li Yan's face became pale, and he became sophistry.

After all, the things that Alice lived in were spread out, and it may involve criminal cases, even if they are innocent, but who would believe such a truth, he was already involved in a lot of scandals. You can't be ruined.

But for Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, how she doesn’t understand Li Yan. If a man with misbehavior really commits misconduct, he should be more calm and deceive a woman. In most cases, Li Yan’s handling ability is quite good. Excellent, but this aspect is too bad.

"Don't talk about it, now, where did you write it?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked, holding his chin with his hand, flipping through the reference materials at will.

"This... this... this... it's probably 80%, and there are more than 30,000 words, and all the plots can be completed."

Li Yan's sleepy eyes looked at the progress of the outline and said.

"Is it? Then it can be finished in about a week, but the editorial department requires you to finish it in three days, so please do your best." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu nodded and said.

"What, three days?!" Li Yan asked with a sudden cardiac arrest.

"..."

At this time, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu remained silent and began to review well.

Li Yan maintained a hesitant look. The original calculation made Xiazhiqiu Shiyu persuade the editorial department to persuade him, but he did not dare to disturb Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's review status at this time. He could only continue to face the computer after struggling for a while. Write the final story.

Li Yan didn't know. When looking at books and sleeping high-achieving young girls, occasionally, he would look at Li Yan's serious writing expression a little bit.

The expressions of the creators will show different expressions because of different plots.

Li Yan with dark circles on his face gradually became tense and fierce. He seemed to be writing about the scene of fighting, but he suddenly recovered his calmness. He seemed to start writing the daily plot part again, sometimes talking to himself, nagging, and trying to do his best. Capturing the tone and thinking of the character shows...

It should be said that, in the eyes of others, it is really like an act of insomnia and crazy for too long. So, creators are madmen, that's how it is. So, she was a little curious about what she was like when she wrote.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth, and she continued to look at her reference book.

After the events in February, everything returned to calm.

When his assistant contract expired, Li Yan and assistant Alice completed 70% of the progress after being delayed by a major and dangerous event, but Alice...no, finally told him about Alice’s real name Shion Si Youzi still needs to assist Victoria to completely eliminate the criminals who have absconded without renewing the contract, and moved out of here yesterday.

By the way, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu is here today.

Finally, after burning for a few hours, after trembling fingers finished saving, Li Yan suddenly lay on the table and knocked over the empty cans of various refreshing drinks. After the last trace of enthusiasm in the whole body was exhausted, only Miao Miao remained. White smoke.

Li Yan took a rest for a while before regaining his strength. He got up, thinking that he should find some dinner to eat. He also wondered if the editors were really unscrupulous, and even sent a prospective candidate to supervise him. As a result, he didn't at all. Dare to go to sleep in the middle of the journey, and dare not tell a nervous test-prep candidate that I am going out to collect materials...

When prospective candidates came to supervise him, Li Yan himself assisted Xiazhiqiu Shiyu to maintain a review state, work and study, two people supervise each other, and it is always more efficient than one person doing whatever he wants.

Li Yan only felt that his scalp was heavy and painful, but in the end, his first work was just one step away. Li Yan didn't know why, but when he was full of emotions, his heart became empty.

"Teacher Xia Shizi, it's already 8:20 now, you should go back..."

After Li Yan lay on the table and rested for a few minutes, he saw the time displayed in the lower right corner of the computer and said to Xiazhiqiu Shiyu.

But he just turned his head to look, but saw that Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu was already lying on the table, sleeping soundly, the whole beautiful back figure was slightly undulating, and the snow-white and delicate face only revealed the closed eyes and the slender, curved face. Eyelashes.

Sitting aside, Li Yan stared at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu with dazzling hair, his expression a little complicated.

It seems that the person who lacks the most sleep here is him, but the person who sleeps so peacefully and comfortably is the supervisory representative who prepares for the most critical college exam...

"In the end, was it just me fighting alone?" Li Yan thought to himself in amazement.
