Chapter 137: A Cartoonist Who Meets Friends Through Chess (Ask for the First Order!)
……
Time, on September 5th, the list of weekly shonen jump's August monthly awards came out, and the Hattori editor called, and sure enough, as expected, [Two Earths] was not selected for the final winners, and Wang Xiu's [Luo Xiaohei's Leisurely Life] had already drawn three words and submitted it, and as the Hattori editor said, he did not participate in the monthly reward, but directly participated in the Akatsuka award, and even got Hattori's more confident admiration. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe fact that a rookie manga artist can be selected for the Akatsuka Award for the first time is a rare occurrence in the entire history of the manga industry.
And the second comic [100 millionths] prepared by Wang Xiu's supreme and autumn people has already been drawn one-fifth, and there is definitely enough time to finish the next quarter at the end of the month, and even keep improving and go further.
Wang Xiu remembered that in the original plot, their [100 millionths] were only one step away from winning the admission selection of the Tezuka Reward, so now, under the influence of Wang Xiu, can the better [100 millionths] that the highest and autumn people started preparing in advance still win the award?
The plot of the Dream Eater has shifted since Wang Xiu arrived, and the real change starts here.
And the initiator is playing Go leisurely!
"I lost, thank you for the advice, Wangjun. ”
In the inner room of the comic studio, Gao Kazuqiu was seriously drawing comics, and in the outer room, a man in his twenties in a straight suit sat in front of Wang Xiu's newly bought chessboard and played Go quietly with Wang Xiu, and then he reluctantly admitted defeat.
Qiu Ren took the original manuscript that had just been drawn, put it on Wang Xiu's work desk, looked up, and just saw that in the outer room, the man was unwilling to admit defeat.
"That twenty-year-old Go genius who has been reported on TV, Matsui Liudan Chess Player, is actually not Wang Xiu's opponent! Ahhhh
"I've also watched the "Chess Soul" anime, I know, only people who work hard for ten years and love Go can become a real professional chess player, is Wang Xiu a national chess player in China? Why do you want to come to Yuben to be a cartoonist? Tallest, you say something, what do you think?"
"Didn't Wang Xiu say that Go was a hobby before, and being a cartoonist is a hobby now. ”
"What! I don't believe it!"
"What if you don't believe it? We have all seen Wang Xiu's genius-level talent in comics, so it's not surprising that he also has talent in Go. It's rare and weird, we are in a hurry, last time Wang Xiu saw the problems after reading [100 millionths], and he still needs to revise them, you hurry up and draw the storyboard, don't let me wait for your storyboard. ”
"But ......" Qiu Ren scratched his head, forget it, it's better to learn the highest calm attitude.
Comic studio outside the room.
After Matsui Rokudan, who has been known as a young Go genius in recent years, reluctantly took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and presented them with 30,000 yen.
"I am willing to gamble and lose, this is my chess fee. ”
"Matsui-kun, thank you very much. Wang Xiu took the money with a smile.
"Wang Jun, with your level, you can completely enter the professional chess circle, whether in China or in this book, you can get a lot of income and status, why do you want to be a cartoonist? And you still want to be a cartoonist assistant to two teenagers? This is really a bit of putting the cart before the horse. ”
As the saying goes, a chess player who doesn't want to be a cartoonist is not a good author, but in fact, I am a writer by profession, and playing Go and drawing comics are personal hobbies. ”
"Uh, what...... Hehe, you're laughing. "Matsui Liudan doesn't know what to say, since he became a professional chess player at the age of 15, now it's been six years, and the professional chess player's rank has risen one stage a year, and the speed of such a promotion in the Go world can be called a god speed, if it weren't for the rank upgrade is very rigorous and troublesome, Matsui would have risen to the top of the nine dan long, Matsui himself played chess with three top nine-dan chess players in the Honinbo title round-robin competition last year, won two in a row, and lost to the third nine-dan chess player, which was a sensation in the Go world at that time.
Half a month ago, there was a young professional chess player in the Go world who claimed that in a residential complex in Tanuka City, Saitama Prefecture, near his hometown, someone hung a sign downstairs that read "10,000 games, meet friends with chess".
Two days later, he was really bored and went in to play a game, and directly lost three games in a row! When he wanted to continue playing, he was told that he only accepted three games a day to meet friends, and then he lost three days in a row, and he never dared to play again.
A few days later, the chess player told another chess friend about this incident, and two days later, he also failed miserably, leaving 60,000 yen embarrassed, and then the matter spread in the Go world, and it was also known that the amateur chess player with extremely high chess skills was actually a Chinese, and he came to Yuben to learn manga, wanted to become a manga artist, and followed the two teenagers to learn manga skills.
After Matsui heard this, he also came to challenge yesterday under curiosity, and he lost three games without accident, and he came to challenge early this morning, and he lost in a row, and the throw just now was exactly the third game.
After Matsui left, an old man of sixty or seventy years old came in from outside the house, but it was Wang Xiu who had just crossed into the world to help solve the identity problem, the Chinese old man named Sato Kazuo, Chinese name Zhong Aiguo, was persecuted in a certain decade, first fled to the port city and struggled for several years, somehow provoked the enemy, and later immigrated to Yuben, married a wife and had children, and spent his old age here.
This Chinese old man is the same as Zhang Wei in the chess soul world, he is affected by the power of the system, and the person who helps Wang Xiu solve the identity problem not only has a white dao identity on the bright side, but also has a hidden underworld ~ dao power on the dark side.
"Zhong Lao, you are here, thank you for helping me release the wind, so that I can make friends with such a person with good chess skills, and I can make money, hehe. Wang Xiu gently patted the money on the table.
"You're a descendant, you can obviously mix well in the professional Go world, why do you have to be a cartoonist, I really don't understand, it's really not good, you can also do business behind me. Zhong Lao shook his head and waved his hand, there was a taste of hating iron and not steel.
"It's all a hobby...... Wang Xiu replied noncommittally.
"Then do whatever you want, who told the old man to look at you pleasing to the eye, come and play chess with the old man when you have time, you are old, and this is your hobby. ”
"That definitely. After chatting like this for more than half an hour, Zhong Lao left.
