Chapter 698: Fighting Spirit
After dinner, the chess players bid farewell to Meng Huo at the door of the restaurant.
After seeing the Sakura Company's car disappear into the street, a chess player frowned and asked, "Why don't you do us such a great favor with the teacher, we just help him provide guidance on the game of Go, is that okay?" ”
He felt that the return was too low.
Muto shook his head: "He doesn't accept other thank-you gifts, what can we do...... It doesn't matter, we'll just help him draw the comics first. If "Chess Soul" is a success in the future, we will further thank him, and we must not let others look down on him! ”
The chess players also have the pride of the chess players, these chess players don't know about the Meng family, but they know very well that the new comics are something that many people spend a lot of money can't get. Why don't you choose to help the Go industry, no matter how you look at it, they have taken a big advantage, and they can't help but show it.
It's not a matter of whether an individual accepts it or not, and the image of the entire Go world, if you don't do anything, it will be too cold in the eyes of outsiders. However, there is no rush at this stage, and it is enough for the chess players to provide guidance on the content of the comics.
But what they didn't expect was that the guidance would arrive so soon, and on the third day of Meng Huo's arrival in Tokyo, he would ask the chess players for help.
In fact, Meng Huo started working on new manga after the carnival ended, and he also brought the original manuscript to Tokyo, and asked Sakura to make a special place to draw manga. Meng made "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" during the day, but found time to draw whenever he had time.
At night, he would also draw new comics in between old comics, and he would use psionic energy without hesitation. So on the third day in Tokyo. Meng found that he was almost ready to draw his first game. It's a pivotal game. It can even be said to be a game that leads to the follow-up plot of the entire comic.
"Hmm...... Trouble ......"
When preparing for this game, Meng Shu suddenly found that it was a little troublesome, it seemed that he was too confident, he felt that his eyesight was no problem with drawing Go comics, but he didn't notice a detail - the era.
Although the first game will not be difficult, it is the first time that the ancient soul has made a move in this world, which means that he should play chess in an ancient style. And at this point, Meng Huo, who doesn't know enough about Go, obviously can't draw it well.
"Let's draw it according to the original book first, let them see it......"
Meng Shu thought so, then drew down the game of the original book and called Muto to inform him. Muto personally came to visit Meng Huo that night, and Meng Shu did not show him the other manuscripts, but only gave him the game score, intending to hear his opinion.
"This, this is ......" Muto was stunned at the first sight of the chess game, he specially brought a pair of glasses, and then looked at the chess game carefully: "The style of this chess game is very strange, huh?" How did you get it, teacher? ”
"I drew it casually."
Meng said euphemistically. The history of this world is different, and the ancient chess skills described in "Chess Soul" are not different from this world. He didn't know either. Therefore, it can only be said that it is drawn casually, because the technique used in this game is likely to be fictional in Muto's eyes.
And he guessed this correctly, Muto felt that the one-person style of the chess game was quite strange, and he thought about it several times, but he didn't find this style in history.
However, it is just the style of playing chess, the playing methods and rules of Go have not changed much from ancient times to the present, although the style of this game is a bit unfamiliar, it is still a successful chess game, and the level is quite not simple......
"Is this a guide?"
Muto asked cautiously.
"Hmm." Meng nodded his head, and the game was played by two people with completely unequal strength, one of whom was an ancient chess player, who did not show his full strength on the board, but used a similar way of guiding chess against the other - that is, he let the water go.
"......" Muto was dumbfounded for a moment, he looked at the chess game, and then looked up at Meng Huo, his eyes became very surprised-"What do you really think about this chess game?" ”
He doesn't believe that the style of the game is different, but that doesn't stop it from being of the mark. On this chess game, the level of the losing side is also quite high, which is close to the professional level, and the winning side is needless to mention, he can't see the specific level when he puts water on the chessboard, but the chess skills after the release of water are also professional.
If the game is from Meng Xu's hands, it means that he has at least a professional level of chess skills - is it possible?
Muto didn't believe it, why didn't he say that he hadn't learned Go before, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't rise to the professional level in a week, right? This has never been seen in history, which shows that the origin of the game is very problematic.
"The style is so strange, maybe it was given to him by a folk master......"
After thinking about it, Muto had to make an excuse for himself, the master is in the folk, and such a strange style of chess game seems to be a folk chess skill. Maybe I don't want to say it, but I can only explain it this way.
"So, is this game okay?"
Meng Shu saw that Muto was slow to speak, and he had a pimple in his heart and asked.
"I want to hear the background of the two players in the game."
Muto put down the chess game and said, Meng Shu then told him, one of the two chess players is ancient, and the other is modern. Of course, he re-selected the background of an ancient chess player according to the history of this world.
"I see." Muto understood, and then sighed: "I don't think so, teacher, your setting is too rough, and the identity and background of that ancient chess player are not rigorous at all, and it doesn't match the style of chess - so let's help reset his identity?" ”
Chess players know more about the history of Go, and they also shape the soul of an ancient chess player who belongs to this world.
Meng Shu thought about it and agreed, he was indeed inferior to these people in this regard. After Muto received his reply, he immediately said goodbye and left, and then returned to the chess academy to inform the other chess players and began to take countermeasures.
Overnight, the Dingjian players from all over China searched for suitable targets, and then the next day, Muto handed over the alternate to Meng Xu.
There are four alternates, which shows the efficiency of these players, but the first person who was recommended the most surprised Meng Shu: "Ben Yin Fang Xiuce!? He was dumbfounded, feeling incredulous.
"That's right, Ben Yin Fang Xiuce." Muto replied: "This is the most powerful chess player in the history of the Far Eastern Region, and he is also a grandmaster in the history of Chinese Go......
He explained to Meng Huo that this person was actually the Ben Yin Fang Xiuce that Meng Huo had heard of in his previous life. However, because of the different history of Go, his way of playing chess is different from that of his previous life, but his achievements are greater than those of his previous life.
Because he is also a grandmaster-level figure in the Chinese Go industry, and the preservation of chess scores and chess style is very complete, it is not difficult to draw.
Meng Xu's heart was very complicated, listening to Muto's words, he was indeed a little complicated. Muto introduced him to Honinbo Shuze because he was the most outstanding chess player born in the Far East, but Muto was not recommended by someone from the Far East, because he was also from China.
From ancient times to the present, the extreme east of this world has only been defined as a Chinese region such as Jiangnan or Suhua, so in their eyes, the status of Ben Yin Fang Xiuce and other regional chess players is the same, and there is no purpose in recommending him.
Every time Meng Shu opens a new comic, whether it is the name of the Far East, the name of the native area, or the strange names of the Far East, Western Xia, and a few other regions, readers will not have an opinion.
Because they are all Chinese, they don't care about surnames and first names. However, Meng Shu actually couldn't let go of it, maybe it was the memories of the past that had been haunting him, and he always had some mustard in his heart.
"I'm stupid......"
Meng Shu patted his head, he knew that his mustard was completely unnecessary, he couldn't mind these things if he wanted to integrate into this world. It's not fair to anyone else, and he's done it before.
"No problem, I'll choose him."
So he calmed his mood and made a decision. Ben Yin Fang Xiuce also made a good decision, because originally, the ancient soul of "Chess Soul" was a part of him...... Meng Shu decided to accept this character and moved the original one.
"The result is still ......"
Meng Shu smiled bitterly in his heart, Zuo Wei in "Chess Soul" is still Zuo Wei, but other characters still have to change. Xiaoguang and Xiaoliang's background is in China, not because of his selfishness, but because this is a necessary thing.
If "Chess Soul" wants to surpass the original work, it cannot limit the area to the extreme east, and restricting it to the extreme east will also make readers feel too stingy, and it must have a wider stage - its stage is the whole of China.
With such a huge stage, Meng Wei is confident that he will depict the world of "Chess Soul" more thick and moving. How can a regional Go world be as shocking as an entire continent, even if Huaxia Go is in decline, its size is incomparable to that of the Far East.
In the previous life, "Chess Soul" was very successful, but the world depicted was too small, and there were only a few chess players in the Far East, and there were only a few chess halls. Now Meng Huo wants to expand the world view of the comics, with more chess players, more chess halls, and more fierce competition......
The possibilities are endless—maybe it's on par with Detective Conan.
Meng Huo suddenly discovered that "Chess Soul" had the potential to become the new comic that had changed the most under his command and completely surpassed the original work. He is fully aware of this possibility, and of course how to expand the worldview while maintaining the charm and success of the original story is also a huge challenge.
However, there is nothing to challenge, and he is tired of playing.
"I can surpass myself with this manga—"
Meng Shu thought so, and the fighting spirit in his body suddenly burned. (To be continued......)
