NO.159:Young people just need to be tempered more!

Doujinshi, a kind of fictional story, carries.

But the concept of 'doujin' also makes it necessarily based on existing things.

Under the framework of reality, virtual things are derived, but that virtuality is necessarily real.

Just like all stories, it should let those who have read it feel something, leave a trace, and then resonate.

No matter what proportion of reality and fiction it contains, all writers and artists are fully aware of the 'virtual' nature of creation itself, with fabricated plots and pure imagination filling it, but when it comes into being, it becomes an absolute reality.

That reality is exactly what you want to express.

From this perspective, Xin Tiao Qian clearly understands that the work she intends to complete is also a doujinshi.

For most of those who know her, know Xiang Yu Tai, Bao Duo Liu Hua, Ma Zhong Peng, Nan Meng Ya and other transmigrators, what they know of Gridman and Electric Light Machine King has nothing to do with the Ultraman, Devilman Z IPs and such.

Once mixed in, it will definitely be regarded as a doujin work.

According to their world's known 'computer world', according to their world's known 'Gridman', if they continue to derive sequels and continue to have intersections, then among them there definitely won't be Little Snake, Sai Luo and the others; at most there will be Jie Si Ti Si.

Or maybe not.

After all, when Jie Si Ti Si arrived in this world, the computer world of the original super agent activities was already far away from him.

He became a remote existence, unable to be more remote, even an existence beyond the world, so the creators of the transmigrators' world would not consider his activity.

Such a Gridman universe story should be the development where Yu Tai and them, Peng and them, and the new century middle schoolers all together save the world.

As for monster eugenics thought… maybe it won't appear, maybe it will be revived…… This depends on what the creators think, but according to the developments she has seen, if there is no interpersonal influence brought by Little Snake, it is unlikely that Badger Sauce and them will appear.

In this way, she feels she has already guessed seven‑eight‑tenths of the plot of the Gridman universe that the transmigrators are waiting for; the only uncertainty is whether she herself is in it.

If so, how would she find her way back?

By feeling? That unchanging feeling, as if one could always get in touch with Cuckoo Terrace?

Xin Tiao Qian didn't dwell on this issue for too long; she also knew that among the transmigrators there circulated the saying that 'after a while you'll be able to see the Gridman universe,' which is generally reliable.

There is such a more authoritative sequel (since several installments of the Gridman IP have already been circulating in this world for a period of time) that countless people are looking forward to.

The work Xin Tiao Qian tries to reproduce will undoubtedly be seen as a doujin; if the parties involved step forward to speak, there might also be a chance to become official, but she can easily imagine everyone being uninterested.

Rather, wasting time and energy proving a past experience is rather foolish, like bragging about a somewhat strange or legendary past in an online group chat.

Naturally there will be people who don't believe it, but do you really need to prove it until they accept it?

It cannot be denied that there indeed exists a group of people in this world who rely on others' approval for amusement and livelihood, who place extraordinary importance on others' evaluations, and are born solely to seek fame.

But the people here at Aomo are not like that.

Even Xin Tiao Qian's own original intention is merely to let the story spread and let the hero's image be imprinted.

This is of course not just about Yu Tai and them; if it were only Yu Tai and them, Xin Tiao Qian feels that the Gridman universe the transmigrators are waiting for would likely give them the spotlight.

Since the existence of a hero is inherent, it will naturally continue to be a hero on the new stage.

As for Inner Sea, Six Flowers, monster eugenics thought and others, including Little Snake himself…… I can't be optimistic.

Xin Tiao Qian feels she must act.

Even if everyone is too lazy to prove it, there should be some record.

Even if disbelievers outnumber believers, it doesn't matter.

As long as someone believes, that's enough.

In the moment they believe, their hearts will also give birth to the universe where Gridman and monsters exist.

Once this is confirmed, Xin Tiao Qian actually already proceeds with the psychological expectation of making it as a doujin.

Leaving a concrete image and spirit from the virtual object is precisely the substance of empty imagination romance, which is the creator's expectation.

Even if everything turns into reality, that creative intention will still not change.

But even if Xin Tiao Qian estimates the situation to be so miserable, lowering her psychological expectation to that humble— the actual situation turns out to be quite good.

Just as she mentioned in her call with Six Flowers that technology isn't an issue, once she proposed this plan she received support from the A Bo Monster Company side and also great praise from the Hei'an villain faction voting website.

The response was unexpectedly enthusiastic; the latter even began acting on the idea of negotiating with the company that legally holds the Gridman IP here, just as they had previously contacted groups here that had registered the Devilman Z IP.

Although it looks like a third‑rate website that wanders everywhere voting on weird things, it actually pays great attention to copyright awareness and formal cooperation procedures.

However, Xin Tiao Qian originally was also an Aomo fan‑head on this website; her understanding of the site is no more or less, and she is not surprised by their energy and actual capability, only surprised that her uploaded plan could receive such attention.

This is all thanks to the earlier conversation between Aomo and the website project manager.

However, she currently has not yet realized that she is already regarded as a champion's friend by the website company.

Merely after obtaining funding and technical support, she is torn over how to proceed.

Xin Tiao Qian once mentioned in a casual chat with Aomo that she herself had once done monster‑centric creation, which came to nothing; in fact, that already counts as a rather embellished saying.

The fact is she tried to serialize online, only to have a group of readers pick apart the logic, complain about the character design, attack the plot, be pointed at until her mindset exploded, and she almost wanted to knead a few monsters to gamble on the opponent's doorstep.

It didn't even reach the signing stage, let alone the paid‑subscription phase.

Xin Tiao Qian is deeply versed in using clay to express the human heart, but stories ultimately belong to another realm.

And when the story becomes animation, what is needed is not only vivid, lifelike realism, but also careful arrangement of plot and visuals,

"Regarding this worry, I think you can talk to Shu Zi Lao Shi."

PM7:21, Lin Dun Office, inside Xin Tiao Qian's bedroom.

Sitting on Xin Tiao Qian's computer chair, after finishing looking at some novice‑style video processing software recently downloaded on her computer, the boy turned his chair to look at the girl on the bed hugging a 2D monster plushie.

The girl looked at him with a face full of resentment, as if the boy had done something to her.

Or perhaps because the boy has done nothing to her so far.

"You should know the doujin process is to propose a plan, solicit manuscripts, and set a schedule, right?"

A true career‑obsessed person is someone who, even while sitting in the girl's room that naturally carries a faint fragrance, can strike a pose of 'I'm here to check your computer specs' and talk at length about the girl's PC assembly.

"Usually illustrators and writers, after finishing their part, just stay still, waiting for the organizer to come and take it, but Shu Zi Lao Shi in her club is both writer and organizer."

"After she finishes her own part, she still has to push others to complete the content; after the first deadline ends she must go on to handle the classification, revision, layout, pagination and adjustment of the second deadline's content, and finally printing—" he raised his index finger, "This is also her responsibility; her father is the president of the printing house of a large publishing company, which naturally gives her an advantage in this regard."

Oh yeah, what you know is really clear.

Xintiao Qi pressed a pillow against herself, mumbling somewhat indistinctly, but that didn't prevent Aomo from hearing her.

The point isn't here.

He stretched out his legs, letting the swivel chair roll him closer to the bedside, then reached out to tidy her hair that had gotten tousled from rolling around on the bed, until her eyes were no longer obscured.

The point is that she actually has the ability to handle the whole process aside from drawing, and she can actually draw too, but compared to professional teachers she's weaker at it, so she simply skips that time and uses it for other steps.

In other words, she'll be your best advisor, and I believe the two of you together can produce great chemistry.

What kind of chemistry could two people who are both dead busy possibly have?

I'll share her busyness and stagnation, and she can share yours; everyone should have a suitable position, which is why allocating and scheduling becomes especially important.

Having come to this point, Qi finally stopped being willful.

Um… we can try talking or not talking.

I believe you two will get along well. The boy nodded.

But I heard you gave Suzi-chan a massage!

What a random topic shift… Aomo was momentarily puzzled, then nodded: 'For some reason this morning, Suzi, Bopang, Chazuo, and Aizhi were all a bit angry; though their anger faded inexplicably, it was still resolved by starting with Suzi, so I agreed to her request.'

Moreover, proper massage really does boost training progress; he usually suggests everyone go to the Beita Training Field for a massage, but they don't seem very interested.

Suzi being willing to let me massage her is already both a good and bad torment; the other three neither speak up nor go to the training field's massage room, so maybe only I can order them to go and get it adjusted… He really isn't sure about that.

"Xiaoshe! I want a massage too!" Qi brushed away his hand that, when he zoned out, unconsciously twirled around her own hair.

"..." That remark made the boy's gaze refocus on her face.

"Does giving your girlfriend a massage require hesitation?" Qi immediately pouted, "My shoulders are sore every day!"

That remark probably isn't very friendly to girls like Chazuo… The boy looked at her obvious sore-shoulder reason, then sighed.

"Sure, on the condition that you behave a little, don't move around, don't make weird noises—can you do that?"

"No."

The girl answered with such utter confidence that it almost made Aomo wonder whether he'd asked too much.

But frankly, for this massage health item, the worse someone's condition, the stronger the reaction; normally it's done for pain, so staying silent is indeed quite difficult.

But weird sounds are always different, right…

The boy looked at the girl, who had always been unhappy no matter what was said, but now looked full of expectation, and he only sighed, wondering why he hadn't yet recovered his youth.
