Volume 1 The Pirate Banner of Faith Chapter 53 The Assistant

At this time, Wu Sheng, who was being checked by Nuo Qi, was also thinking about the future, but it was not reality, but the criminal realm and the palace.

It's been almost a month since the destruction of the Aaron Palace, and he finally met the second person who produced the Temple.

It seems that even if negative consciousness and shadow monsters are born in the world of sin all the time, the temple is not so easy to be born.

It's not so easy to be a hero, and the bad guys in this world seem to be very hidden, and they can't be found on the Internet.

Yesterday was also Wu Sheng's luck, otherwise it is estimated that he can only continue to explore the criminal realm, hoping to find some clues at the transmission site.

After all, this is not the Marvel or DC Universe, where neuropathy and bereavement scientists come out every once in a while, and occasionally there are aliens who invade the Earth. On top of that, they are all very arrogant, for fear that the superheroes will not know about their existence.

While complaining in his heart about the other two parallel universes with the hardest hit areas of the wicked, Wu Sheng helped set up a few special work tables for drawing comics.

This is what he asked Hattori to help order when they signed the contract, and at the same time, there are also essential machines for cartoonists such as printing and fax all-in-one machines, plus the cost of renting, and the contract annuity of 650,000 yuan will bottom out at once.

The first chapter of their "Notes on the Dead King" is 50 pages, and the manuscript fee is 600,000. Literary and art workers, cartoonists, and writers here file their own tax returns or find tax accountants, so publishing houses and magazines pay the full amount to their accounts.

After Nami's part of the money arrived, she returned the money to Takekatsu.

Nearly 70 square meters of apartments, a monthly rent of about 250,000 yen, a one-month deposit and various annual fees, Wu Sheng paid nearly 750,000 yen in advance when renting.

Even if Wu Sheng shared the monthly work expenses of 50,000 yuan, plus the 150,000 yuan taken out of the annuity, a total of 300,000 yuan was counted in the rental expenses.

Nami's part of the signing fee and the manuscript fee for the first episode were also exhausted, and then, her monthly manuscript fee income was basically all spent on rent.

It seems that Wu Sheng and Luffy have cheated her, but in fact, when she really calculated, she found that the actual economic situation is: compared to living in the original place and renting an independent studio, this model of life is more convenient and more economical!

The two sisters originally relied on their mother's compensation and insurance money to pay the rent, and the elder sister and her took turns working to support the family, and now her income is enough to pay the rent, so the original compensation and insurance money can be saved.

"Overall, it's really harmless."

Wu Sheng gave himself another thumbs up in his heart with a little pride.

Nami was still young, and she didn't know how to convert the cost of time, thinking that it would be better to live farther and cheaper.

In fact, the value of her 3-hour commute every day is far greater than the cost of her own rent! 30 days a month, excluding holidays, is nearly 90 hours more, a full 11 days of working days, you can draw a monthly comic.

Have a hasty lunch at Nami's new home and studio, and the rest of the people continue to help clean up and set up.

Takekatsu and Sanji are on their way to GM Tokyo, and on weekends there are many guests who come to dine with their families, and although the number of tables remains the same, the number of pick-ups will be doubled compared to usual, so they have to help out early.

After a busy day, today there are many guests and eat slowly. Wu Sheng cleaned up in the restaurant and said goodbye to everyone at GM Tokyo, and it was already a quarter past 10 o'clock in the evening when he got home.

Wu Sheng originally wanted to tell Luffy and the others the news of the discovery of the temple today, but he moved during the day and worked part-time in the afternoon and evening, so he didn't have time to talk about it.

After going home and taking a bath and drinking milk, Wu Sheng plans to inform his friends in the LINE group first.

He took his phone and yawned and lay down on the bed, closed his eyes to relieve the fatigue of the next day, but within a few seconds, the thing fell asleep.

...... I've been messing with Luffy for a long time, and unknowingly the big virus has infected him?

--------

The next day, before dawn, Wu Sheng woke up, he is now in good spirits and good health, he can sleep 6 hours a day to be very energetic, and naturally he can't sleep at all after waking up.

Get up, wash up, eat toast and drink milk.

Then Wu Sheng began to take a horse step in the living room, practicing the hand-to-hand combat palm technique "Xiliang Palm" instilled by Ma Chao, Xiliang Palm, also known as Xiyang Palm, with a total of 146 movements, of which 81 sounded. One move and one style, both dynamic and static, unpretentious. The whole routine opens and closes and expands, flashes and moves, is strong and rapid, varied, and has a unique style. Its palm methods are: dialing, wearing, wiping, picking, closing, sweeping, patting, supporting, cutting, belting, pointing, blocking, hugging, turning, covering, picking, fishing, rubbing, collapsing, splitting, pressing, hitting, etc.; Boxing methods include: splitting, penetrating, collapsing, sealing, bracing, punching, pressing, channeling, etc.

After completing a set of homework, Wu Sheng started push-ups and sit-ups again and began strength training.

These techniques are all required by Ma Chao, of course, Wu Sheng himself is also very willing to practice, after the Usopp incident, Wu Sheng understands that the reality will still encounter such a thing as fighting, and there is no harm at all in getting better.

Now that the second temple has been discovered, the preparations still need to be done.

The information collection on Usopp's side must continue, and the exercise of the real body must be doubled!

After exercising like this for more than 2 hours, Wu Sheng, who was sweating profusely, rested for a while, and waited for his body to cool down before going to take a bath.

When he came out of the shower and found that it was only less than 8 o'clock, he couldn't help but be depressed, getting up too early was also anxious, and the time passed too slowly, right?

Just as she was thinking about what to do, Nami called, "Takeda, are you up?" ”

"Well, just finished a workout."

"Mr. Hattori will bring two assistants over to get acquainted, and by the way, take the original sketch of the second episode, which should come over at 10 o'clock, and you will come down at about half past nine."

"OK, no problem."

Hattori said that he would bring an assistant over today and introduce them to him. But Hattori was about 10 o'clock, and now it's only 8 o'clock, and I didn't reply to a message to Usopp, so I guess I'm still sleeping on the weekend......

Wu Sheng, who was bored, had no choice but to pick up the textbook and began to study (memorize the textbook).

"It seems that I have to buy a SN that is hellish." Wu Sheng turned the page quickly while his mind wandered.

Speaking of which, I haven't experienced the game of this world since I came to this world!

Thinking of this, he put down his book, picked up his mobile phone and began to search for game consoles and games.

A real boy high school student on a weekend morning.

......

"Oh! This looks like a lot of fun! Buy! This is not bad...... "Wu Sheng has just picked out the game console, and is choosing the game, and now it happens to be on sale in the spring!" Whether you have time to play or not, buy it back first!

Then the phone suddenly called, it was Nami.

Wu Sheng suddenly came back to his senses and found that it was almost 10 o'clock.

Games are really a harmful thing, not only will it affect students' homework, but also affect writers to write novels, even if you don't play and just buy, it will kill a lot of time!

He hurriedly connected his mobile phone and hurriedly put on his socks: "Yes, yes, come down immediately!" ”

Three minutes later, he rings Nami's doorbell and finds that Hattori has arrived early, and Nokigao has gone grocery shopping.

There are two girls sitting on the sofa in the middle of the living room, one is wearing glasses and braids, and the other looks ordinary with long hair and ponytail.

Wu Sheng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because I didn't expect you to be early." ”

"It's okay, it's true that we're early." Hattori looked at him with a smile.

Nami smelled the scent of shower gel wafting from him, looked at him with suspicion, and asked in a low voice, "You still take a shower when you see an assistant?" You don't want to do anything bad, do you? ”

"Huh? I just finished exercising! Am I that kind of person? Wu Sheng was speechless, what was on the girl's mind.

"Okay, say hello to people, I've already introduced a round here." Nami nudged him.

Wu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, "Hello, I'm Takeda Xu, who is in charge of the story creation of "Notes of the Dead King", please give me a lot of advice." ”

"Hello, I'm ......" "Masumi Yasui" and "Yumiko Okana".

The two girls couldn't help but smile and stood up and introduced themselves.

"I'm glad to be your assistant, so please take care of me in the future."

The two of them know each other, they are both old assistants, looking at the young Takeshi and Nami, they look at each other, it seems that this assistant will not be as depressing as the last one. The comic of their previous work had just been cut in half.

Hattori helped introduce on the side: "Because you are all newcomers, I haven't arranged a newcomer assistant for you, Yasui and Reyi are all assistants with old seniority on my side, whether it's experience or drawing, they are veterans, if you don't understand anything, you can ask directly, don't be shy." ”

After the introduction, he said: "I hope they will start working next week in the third word, do you think it's okay?" ”

Wu Sheng looked at Nami and signaled that this was your assistant.

Nami reacted and hurriedly said, "No problem. ”

"But for the sake of going to school, is it okay to suggest that Miss Yasui and Miss Ayuki come over at 4 p.m.? Is it convenient for you to go home at night? Wu Sheng asked.

"Convenient, it's not far from where we live." Miss Yasui returned.

"Okay, let's start working Monday to Wednesday and Friday, starting at 4 p.m. If you need to work overtime or have something to do temporarily, we will communicate with you in advance. Takekatsu said as he confirmed with Nami.

Nami nodded, knowing that they would all go to the Sinful Realm or the Temple on Thursday.

"Okay, we're all right." Both young ladies seem to be very gentle people.

Hattori was thoughtful, knowing that they were high school students, and he didn't look for some assistants with difficult personalities.

"If it's convenient, can you see the original drawing of the first episode? We would like to confirm Shimofukada-sensei's style of painting and adjust it accordingly. Ms. Yasui said.

It's like this here, no matter how old or young, the master is the teacher.

Nami hurriedly took out a copy of the first sentence and gave it to them, and the two of them didn't say much when they got it, took out their own tools and began to study them on the workbench next to them.

On the other side, Wu Sheng also handed the second draft that had been drawn to Hattori.

Hattori took a closer look and found that the storyboard treatment was still sophisticated, except for the fact that the painting still had some shadows of art sketches, and there was no problem at all, but I believe that with the assistance of two veteran assistants, Nami would soon be able to improve, and he straightened out the draft: "Then I will confirm that I accepted the second word." ”

Then he looked at Wu Sheng and Nami and exclaimed, "Everything is on the right track, I can't believe it, from the time you came to contribute, until now, a week has passed!" ”

"Thanks to Mr. Hattori's vigorous promotion, we were lucky enough to be in time for the serial meeting." Wu Sheng was very modest at this time.

Hattori nodded with a smile and continued to say to the two: "The content of the third episode, we will continue to do it according to the storyboard. But after the third episode, we're going to start looking at the readers' voting rankings. You two need to be prepared, the competition for JUNK's readers' rankings is fierce! ”

This is a hint that I hope Wusheng will not continue to work anymore, and it is not fragrant to focus on the story?

Wu Sheng pretended not to hear it, it was possible to really quit his part-time job, but now he has found a new palace, but it won't work, he lacks money to buy equipment!

He said, "When will the printed copy be given to us?" Not only us, but also our friends can't wait to see our manga published on JUNK~"

"Next Friday, don't worry, it's all ironclad." Hattori reassured.

At this time, Miss Yasui and Miss Ayuki studied Nami's painting style and drew the same character according to her painting style: "We have almost confirmed, and we can start working on Monday." ”

"Okay, if you still need any information or things you need to draw comics, remember to tell me, and I'll do my best to get it for you." Hattori took the drawing paper, didn't look at it, and handed it to Nami, who had confidence in the two assistants: "We'll take our leave first, and I'll come and pick it up next Friday night." ”

He looked at the two of them and smiled, and said: "And we haven't eaten that celebration meal yet, I won't eat it if I have something to do today, you can find a time to set it and celebrate together, this is already a regular ceremony of JUNK, and I always feel unsteady if I don't invite you to a meal." Then he nodded and said goodbye with the two assistant sisters.

Nami sent a few people out, and after walking back, it was obvious that something was wrong, and Wu Sheng saw it, and hurriedly asked if there was something wrong.

She picked up two pictures of the characters just drawn by the two assistants and handed them to Wu Sheng, and said a little disappointed: "They seem to be better than me." ”

Wu Sheng leaned over to take a look at it and comforted: "After all, I have been painting for many years longer than you, and it is common for assistants in the industry to be better than cartoonists." ”

"Then I don't have no value in existence?" Nami was depressed.

"What's the matter, you turned my stickman-like storyboard into a line drawing, thinking about character settings, character movements, perspective or something, these are all your credits, and you may not be able to do these if you draw well." Wu Sheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Nami's unconfident appearance, and it seemed that his aura was not completely stable: "Okay, we're still young, just try to catch up in the future!" ”

Nami sat back at her work desk and continued to work the draft: "Okay, you can eat at my place at noon, my sister knows that you are coming, and I specially said that I want to thank you at noon today and compensate for last night's fire banquet." ”

"Okay." Wu Sheng simply didn't go back, sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone, and continued to add things to his game purchase list.

......

On the other side, after the two assistants saw off Hattori at the subway station, they found a nearby coffee shop and sat down to discuss:

"What do you think of "Notes from the Dead King" after reading it?"

"It's amazing, whether it's Takeda-sensei's story or Fukada's character painting, it's a very mature level."

"Well, great, I hope it can be serialized steadily, and I won't be cut in half!"

"Yes, when the work is about to be cut in half, it is too depressing to work."

"But it's hard to say, the two teachers are still high school students, so I hope they can be stable. This time, the art style of "Notes of the Dead King" is exactly to my taste, and I don't want to be an assistant to funny comics anymore, and the painters are going to regress. ”

"Yes, it's simple, but it's actually very draining......"
