Chapter 697: Thanks

PS: Sorry, I'm too busy today and I got home late

On the third day after the carnival, Meng Huo set off again to return to Tokyo to make "Mobile Suit Gundam 00".

The plane had just arrived in the evening, but he was stunned when he walked out of the airport.

"Why are there so many people picking up today?"

Meng Shu found that there were more people who greeted him today than usual, and in addition to familiar faces, there were several unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before—and when he got a little closer, Meng Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a person he knew in these strange faces.

"Curator Muto, you are ......"

The chess player Muto who had dinner with him last time was also among the people who greeted him, and several other strangers were standing with him, obviously it should be the same group of people, Meng Xu immediately knew in his heart that the greeting of these people had something to do with "Chess Soul".

"I heard that Mr. He will come to Tokyo today, so I came to greet them, these are my friends......

Muto introduced Meng to the people around him, some of whom were young and old, not all of them were from the Far East, and half of them were from the mainland. But without exception, these chess players are all powerful chess players in China, and the reason for coming here is indeed related to "Chess Soul".

However, Muto did not say the real purpose here, he warmly invited Meng Huo to dinner, his attitude was very enthusiastic, Meng Huo couldn't push back a few words, and finally had to answer - his stomach was also hungry.

On the way to dinner, Meng Shu did not sit in the same car as those chess players, he was in a car sent by the Sakura Company to greet him, and he had just driven it for a short time. Meng Xu's face turned a little cold.

"Why did they come to pick me up?" He was somewhat unhappy in his heart. How can Sakura make its own claims. He told the players about his trip without informing him at all, and took them to the airport.

However, from the mouths of the employees who greeted him, Meng Shu realized that he had misunderstood them. Sakura did not reveal his whereabouts, nor did they bring Muto with them, and the chess players ran to the airport on their own, and the employees were surprised.

"I originally wanted to inform the teacher of You, but when I found them, the teacher was already on the plane, and it was too late to inform." The employee sitting in the passenger seat finally added.

Meng Shu's heart became more and more unhappy. So, the chess players came to pick him up completely on their own initiative? They were really well-informed—but although they weren't rude, and they were very sincere when they greeted him just now, Meng Shu couldn't be happier.

Ten minutes later, they followed the players and parked their cars in front of a very friendly restaurant in the East.

"What a pity, teacher, please go this way......"

The chess players invited Meng Huo into the dining room, and they prepared very carefully, and soon after they sat down, dinner was served one after another. The dishes are all the signature dishes of this restaurant, and there is no such thing as a bad choice.

And after the start of dinner. The reason for them to invite Meng Huo also appeared. In fact, this is not a purposeful reason, but I just want to thank Meng Huo for positioning the new comic as a Go comic, and this is also in Meng Huo's expectations.

He chose to draw Go manga, and it was almost inevitable that Muto would show their gratitude.

However, he still didn't expect Muto to be so grateful, not only brought the chessboard over again, but also gave several other messy Go Association titles, although these titles were not valuable, they were also things that ordinary people could not get.

Of course, Meng Shu refused all.

"You don't have to thank me." He said angrily: "I didn't draw Go comics for you or the Go industry, and it has nothing to do with your chessboard, but I just happened to have the inspiration to draw Go, and it has nothing to do with you and the Go industry." ”

Meng said that his choice has nothing to do with the players, and that is his honesty. The reason why he chose "Chess Soul" is not so great, in fact, it is just three factors that come together: one is Shen Jie's construction, the second is that he happens to have "Chess Soul" to choose from, and the third is that he has the confidence to draw Go comics.

He didn't want to accept thanks that didn't belong to him, and Meng Huo's starting point was not so great, so he didn't need gifts from chess players.

Of course, no matter what Meng Huo says, the chess players will not believe it, a cartoonist who has never touched Go much decides to draw Go comics, saying that it is always strange that he wants to draw them, and the well-intentioned reason of 'soft-hearted and wanting to help the Go industry' seems reasonable.

Therefore, all chess players, including Muto, recognized Meng as a person of good will. And the fact that he does not accept gifts shows that his character is very noble.

"Don't be tempted by other people's money, but choose to help us in a disadvantaged industry...... even refused gifts, what a pity that the teacher is really a rare good person in the world. Muto thought to himself, he had already known that human character should not be judged by words, but by deeds.

What a pity's action was one of the most selfless he had ever seen, and he had never seen such a kind cultural creator.

However, Meng Shu refused to accept the gift, and Muto and these chess players were also uncomfortable, relying on the influence of the cartoonist He Xi, whether "Chess Soul" failed or not, it would definitely bring benefits to the Go industry, if they didn't say something, how could they tell outsiders?

“…… Then, what a pity teacher, let's do it......" Muto suddenly thought of an idea: "Since you don't need to thank you, how about we help you make Zuò "Chess Soul"?" We know you don't know much about Go, and if you need help with the content, all of our players are willing to help! ”

Meng Huo's eyes lit up, he knew what Muto meant. Go comics, of course, a very important point is the content of the Go game in it, there are still some differences between the two worlds of Go, and many of the chess games in this world's "Chess Soul" need to be recreated.

Although Meng Shu is confident that he can draw the early game, he is a little entangled in the later stage of "Chess Soul", when the protagonist rises to the professional level. Besides, if there is the help of the chess players, the doubts of the outside world will disappear for him.

Others may question how a person who has not learned Go can draw a Go comic, but if he has a group of top chess players behind him to help, then who can gossip?

"This one does."

Meng Shu hurriedly agreed, this is a good thing, of course he will accept it, and being able to discuss comics with these chess players will definitely make a great improvement in his chess skills - maybe he can beat Shen Jie to the ground.

So far, Meng Huo is still half as good as Shen Jie in chess, and he doesn't want to lose to this girl all the time. (To be continued......)
