Chapter 108: Fate-stay-night
Although he deliberately said witty things to make Guan Yingluo happy, Meng Zhe was not without any sorrow in his heart, and Wang Zhenren patted Meng Zhe on the shoulder before leaving, and said something that made Meng Zhe very stressed.
"Child, since I have the pocket money you gave, I will buy your anime boy to watch when I travel. Yingluo, that kid said that you anime boys, every issue will announce who the top three most popular works in the last issue are, don't let me down......"
This sentence is the last two original sentences of Wang Zhenren when he left.
Of course, Meng Zhe can understand this, Wang Zhenren clearly said that he wanted to see him win the first place in Meng Zhe's comics! But now that the anime boy is on top, how easy is it to win the first place?
Therefore, Meng Zhe has a lot of pressure, Wang Zhenren is so kind to him, how can he be embarrassed to let his family's hopes be disappointed?
Sure enough, I have to draw a new long manga!
So Meng Zhe had such an awareness - what Wang Zhenren wanted to see should be comics related to national art and traditional thoughts, although Meng Zhe's "Sword of Immortals" he is painting now is a comic that is related to both, but after all, it is a little too immortal.
So Meng Zhe felt that it was best for him to open another comic, a comic of pure martial arts.
It's just that in this world, there are countless Chinese martial arts novels suitable for adults to read, but there are not many martial arts comics suitable for all ages, especially teenagers.
Hong Kong comics?
In Hong Kong comics, although almost every comic involves national art or something, the classics have basically been out now, and Huang Yulang's Divine Soldier Tianzi series is too high-spirited.
This question bothered Meng Zhe, and he was in a trance for several days after that...... And the time passed quietly in the last few days of 1994, and the new magazine "Animation Time" under Tianjiao Club also carried the first issue of the magazine with the fragrance of ink, which was sent to all parts of the country with the rolling traffic...... Because of the conclusive evidence of buying murder and injuring people, the county court sentenced Li Gang to two years, while the main perpetrator, Li Gaochun, was only sentenced to half a year because he 'took the initiative to confess the facts of the crime'.
When the verdict was handed down, something happened that made people puzzled: Li Gaochun shouted with great excitement, and he angrily shouted that the judge was an old bastard with a pig's brain, saying that he had obviously committed such a serious crime, why didn't he sentence him to three years and five years...... The judge who made the verdict was almost not so angry by Li Gaochun's 'crazy words' that he almost vomited blood.
In the end, under the 'appeasement' of Meng Zhe, who was the victim, Li Gaochun, who suspected that his sentence was too light, finally calmed down. Because Meng Zhe hinted that although it was only half a year, he would also give money according to a year...... During the whole process, Meng Zhe didn't look at Li Gang sitting in the defendant's dock with his eyes, and someone later told Meng Zhe that he was originally very high-spirited, and everyone looked at Li Gang, who looked at him with a sharp chin, and at the moment when the verdict came down, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant.
And this is not the whole story, at the same time as Li Gang was imprisoned, the county's public security bureau launched a vigorous public security inspection, and at the same time, the State Taxation Bureau and the local taxation bureau also dispatched special anti-tax evasion and tax evasion special rectification activities.
Li Gang's two shops were soon found to have serious safety hazards and tax evasion, and were ordered to suspend business for rectification...... Basically, the chances of those two shops reopening are basically zero.
These things are naturally related to Meng Zhe, although they were not instructed by Meng Zhe - the person who shot was Kong Lan, and the heads of those three units all got the red envelopes that were definitely enough in this era.
Interestingly, after the director of the county public security bureau did what Kong Lan asked for, he quietly returned the red envelope, and then he euphemistically said that he hoped to arrange for his two sons and nephews to go to work in the Xiaodangjia instant noodle factory...... The current small master instant noodle factory is scary because of the good benefits, so the wages and benefits are also good and scary, so not to mention the young people in Wufeng County, but the young people in the neighboring counties, who don't want to work in the factory and get high wages?
It's just that there are more monks and less porridge, so I squeezed my head, how could I enter the factory without a way?
After asking, after learning that the two sons and nephews of the county public security director were veterans who had just been discharged from the army, Kong Lan nodded happily and agreed to this matter, and then arranged the two into the guard team in the factory.
Kong Lan also told Meng Zhe about this matter, and she originally planned to transfer two people from the factory guard team of the instant noodle factory to Meng Zhe as personal bodyguards. After all, there was such a thing that was almost kidnapped, how could Kong Lan not worry at all about whether this kind of thing would happen in the future?
And just when Kong Lan said that he would match Meng Zhe with a personal bodyguard or something, because he was already thinking about the theme of martial arts comics, Meng Zhe, who had a headache, suddenly came up with a new anime idea!
Bodyguard......?
Yes! Thought of it! Fate!
O Holy Grail War on the Night of Destiny's Standstill!
The Mud Bombers can turn Queen Arthur into a saber, and then turn into a demon to participate in the Holy Grail War or something...... I can also talk about the background of the Holy Grail War, put it in ancient or modern China, and then replace the demons with historical figures who are good at various national arts!
Yes, what made Meng Zhe think of a solution was "fate-stay-night", which is a certain 18-forbidden text adventure game that is translated as the long night of fate or the night of fate stops.
Yes, you read that right, this worldview is quite unique, and it has created the fate of King Arthur Saber, who does not understand people's hearts, but has turned countless people, and it is indeed a text adventure game that is sincere and benevolent.
After the game became a big hit, it was adapted into an all-age TV anime, and then conquered a large number of otaku otaku...... As for the content of the Fate story - legend has it that the Holy Grail is a treasure that can fulfill the wishes of its owner. In order for this Grail to appear, a ritual must be performed, and the seven magician masters (masters) chosen by the Holy Grail will be given to the seven magicians (servants) selected by the Holy Grail, and only the strongest master can summon the Holy Grail.
How do you prove who is the strongest? It's simple...... Aren't the masters and sarvents who kill all other opponents the strongest?
It's just a brief introduction or something, like the Seven Heroes of the Warring States in ancient China, and the tyrant Qin who finally destroyed the Six Kingdoms and then ruled the world?
In fact, Meng Zhe before his rebirth, after learning what fate was in the first issue, he directly thought of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States or something.
The master corresponds to the monarch, and the servant corresponds to the capable generals in the country...... Okay, okay, that's off topic.
According to the setting of fate, the surnames of the seven servants are actually different, they are divided into swordsman "Saber", spearman "lancer", assassin "assassin", archer "archer", cavalry "rider", magician "caster", berserker "berserker...... These settings can be used with a slight modification, such as modifying the magician to 'secret Taoist' or something, and the characters are quite easy to use - the assassin or something, Jing Ke is a good candidate, and even Qin Wuyang, who ran with Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin but peed his pants halfway, can also be used.
Berserkers are even easier to choose, such as Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, these are all standard tragic berserkers.
If you are a spearman, Yue Fei and Meng Zhe don't dare to use it, but there is no problem with characters like Zhao Yun.
Archer No. 2 can be the emperor, how about a black king's treasury? After all, Qin Shi Huang did the thing of collecting the world's soldiers and casting them as the twelve golden men...... Magician...... Hmm, it's a secret Taoist or something, Qiu Chuji or Yu Xuanji, just use it casually As for the swordsman as the heroine, whether it's Hua Mulan or Li Xiuning, this can all be used.
But considering the plot or something, it is a good choice to use a generation of empress Wu Zetian...... Nianghua or something, Meng Zhe doesn't dare to use it now, this kind of thing will have to wait for at least another three or five years to happen, and now if he dares to turn a famous emperor in history into a mother, he will be criticized immediately.
As for the martial arts that these people are good at, this is not a problem for Meng Zhe at all, he has been educated by Wang Zhenren for more than a year, and it is easy for him to arrange martial arts with suitable identities for these people.
Not...... And so on and so forth.
Now the background of this story, if it is directly published in the anime boy, will it be too bloody or something to affect the magazine?
And the background of the story of the battle for the Holy Grail does not quite match the 'First Holy Grail War' of the current pure oriental characters?
Why don't you just change the Holy Grail to a spirit orb? Not...... With the name Lingzhu, will it be reminiscent of Dragon Ball?
Meng Zhe continued to struggle, but fortunately, he quickly came up with another way to solve it - what made Meng Zhe come up with a new solution was his old antique ThinkPad computer.
Computer games!
How about turning this Holy Grail War into an esports game for a futuristic era?
In this day and age, it should be a very eye-catching thing to propose a game headset and a computer game with 100% virtuality, right?
Then, referring to the future before rebirth, the online game novel that was very popular on the Internet for a period of time allowed the protagonist with a good national art cultivation to enter a martial arts online game with a very high degree of virtuality for various reasons...... Uh, wait, wait, etc., the protagonist seems to have to have a vulgar amnesia, because he himself will be virtualized as someone else's demon.
Yes, amnesia!
Only vulgar amnesia can solve this major problem.
It's set that the protagonist used to be a master of this virtual game, and then lost this part of his memory because of a car accident or something, and in the game, in order to commemorate him, his character turned into a very powerful, very surnamed demon...... That's right, this martial arts online game takes a similar approach to the master and demon of fate, and each player can complete various tasks and become a master and servant relationship with the virtual high force value NPC in the game.
And the NPCs in this game also have their own deep backgrounds, and then these characters also have archetypal characters in the real world.
Huh?
In this case, it seems that even if King Arthur continues to be transformed into a saber, it seems that there is no problem? Even if the people who read the comics saw that the prototype of Saber was King Arthur of the pure masters, they would not say anything more?
At this point, the story can continue to follow the original Fate model, where seven players bring seven demons into a pure NPC city, and if you want to win the final victory, you must find other players and demons.
And in order to find and kill the others, you will have to engage in all kinds of battles of wits and courage!
During this period, you can also intersperse the story of each master and each demon himself, in short, with the aim of making the people who read the comics teary-eyed!
Oh yes!
Since it's an online game, it's completely possible for foreign players to participate?
For example, let the player of the little devil in, and then don't use the protagonist and the demon with the gorgeous silver sword of the destroyer...... Ah no, it's a two-player tactic that kills something, and it must be able to attract a lot of attention, right?
And this will not only make readers happy, but even the relevant departments will not interfere too much because this is patriotic content, right?
But...... This story, is it still fate?
When he thought of this problem, Meng Zhe suddenly laughed - because he found that this was clearly the heuristic thinking in the biography, he originally thought about it in order to set the story to be in line with China's national conditions, and mixed with the content of national arts, but in order to solve this problem, his thinking was a little too divergent - in the end, the whole story has completely become a new story that is completely different although there are still traces of fate.
But at least, Meng Zhe thinks that this comic should be very interesting to draw, with enough knowledge of national arts, future technology beyond what people now know, and enough tear-jerking background stories of various characters, plus targeted e-sports content...... If this cartoon is not popular, Meng Zhe feels that he will not have to continue drawing in the future!
Therefore, Meng Zhe began to think of a name for this comic, but after thinking about it for a long time, Meng Zhe decided to use the Chinese name "Fate Stop Night", and the English name "fate-stay-night".
There is no need for the Holy Grail or anything anymore, and after the content of the online game is incorporated, the purpose is directly set to the winner to get a reward, or to win glory for the country, for the individual, or for the club, right?
Now that everything has been set, then Meng Zhe has started to set up new comic characters, although the original characters of Fate can use some of them, but now because too much content has been modified, many things have to be redone!
But on New Year's Day, a few guests who were completely unexpected by Meng Zhe suddenly visited Tianjiao Club.
The leading guest, Meng Zhe had seen many times on TV, newspapers and magazines before his rebirth, and his name was Liu Chuanzhi.
