Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Red Light Reappears

2018, New Year's Day.

Bincheng Bosom Friend Comics Club, 2nd floor, editor's office.

Wanli sat in the guest seat, his hands propped up on the table, his waist straight, and he was calm, waiting for the middle-aged man sitting opposite him to finish reading his comics.

Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's lack of attention to him, Wan Li squinted his eyes and glared fiercely at Wen Jing behind the middle-aged man, and Wen Jing playfully stuck out her tongue at him and made a grimace.

Wan Li was helpless, what was the situation when he came to Wen Jing with comics in the morning and met his parents unprepared?

The middle-aged man in formal clothes sitting opposite is named Wen Zheng, who is Wen Jing's father. But except that his skin color is very similar to Wen Jing, his face is almost the same as Wen Jing. He is the kind of person who can see at a glance that he is very rigid and serious, and when he talks about business with this kind of person, he is scared......

"Average painter."

"The story is okay."

"The depiction of superpowers is very good."

After making these three evaluations, Wen Zheng glanced up at Wan Li, barely squeezed out a smile on his serious face, and said, "Wen Jing has praised you many times in my ear......"

"Dad!" Wen Jing interrupted in surprise: "You talk to Wan Liyang about comics, what do you say I do!" ”

Wan Li blinked: "Uncle, you continued, what did Wen Jing praise me?" ”

Wen Zheng glanced back at Wen Jing, who was glaring at him angrily, and said, "I'm just polite, she didn't praise you." ”

Wen Jing held her forehead, looking helpless.

Wanli smiled, the status of this family is clear at a glance. The feeling of panic in his heart subsided a little, and said, "Then let's talk about comics, Uncle Wen?" ”

"Well, okay...... As a comic book practitioner, you won't be unaware of the downturn in this industry. Even if your comic fits reality, it can still be difficult to promote. Moreover, the Bosom Friend Comics Club uses the printing and publishing channels of our Bincheng Audio-visual Publishing House, and the cost is very high. ”

"Uncle Wen, what do you mean?"

"Wen Jing told me that you are very confident in your comics and will never agree to buy them out, and the royalty will be divided into ......" Wen Zheng paused, "There are still a few problems here, first of all, your comics are likely to fail the review, after all, ......"

"You don't have to worry about this, I already took the comics to Director Liao of the Martial Arts Bureau yesterday, and he said that there is no problem." Wanli interrupted.

Wen Zheng nodded: "Then it saves a trouble, but there is still ......"

……

Half an hour later.

Wen Zheng pointed out seven problems in the comics themselves and promotion, except for two that were somewhat 'forcibly difficult', the other five points Wanli actually felt that he was reasonable, worthy of being an old editor!

"Uncle Wen, what do you mean?"

Wan Li asked again, and just when he thought that Wen Zheng was going to offer a low price, Wen Zheng squeezed out a smile and said, "You have a good relationship with my family Wen Jing, right?" And I heard her say that you protected her during the riots at the Binke mall more than three months ago? ”

Wan Li raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wen Jing. Wen Jing's face was slightly red and she glared at Wan Li.

"Protection?" Wanli recalls the scene of jumping into the sand with her and throwing her into the sand to meet Nohara Sawei, which is considered protection... Right?

"It seems that there is. In that case, I can offer you the same conditions as the top cartoonists of the old era, with a royalty split of eight percent. Of course, it is impossible for a single page price to give you 300, a maximum of 30...... Wan Liyang, are you still satisfied? ”

Wanli pondered for a moment and sighed lightly: "You are so generous, what am I not satisfied with." Three years of hard work is handed over to you! ”

"Don't worry, I don't have a ready-made contract, I have to find someone to draw it up. You take your comics with you and come back tomorrow. ”

"No, you don't." Wan Li shook his head: "Just kidding, you can't run Wenjing if you can run, I don't worry about you...... Then I'll go first, and I'll come back at this time tomorrow to sign a contract with you. ”

Wen Zheng nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

Wen Jing walked quickly to Wanli's side: "Wanli Yang, I'll send you." ”

The two walked out of the editor's office, and Wen Jing immediately asked, "My dad is amazing, right?" ”

"Awesome." Wan Li said from the bottom of his heart.

Wen Jing felt quite proud of her father, her expression was cheerful, and she asked, "Wan Liyang, how is your body recovering?" ”

"It's okay, there's nothing wrong with winning the game."

Wen Jing's cheerful expression froze, and she said angrily: "Can you not always choke me?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Get used to it. ”

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't bother with you. Can you beat me? Looks like you're almost recovering. Wen Jing smiled.

"No, I'll be able to beat you with an F rating."

Wen Jing: "......"

After that, he didn't say anything all the way, and after sending Wan Li to the station, Wen Jingcai asked in a low voice: "Wan Li Yang, will you still draw comics in the future?" ”

Wanli hesitated for a moment: "Maybe...... See you later! "He got in the bus and took the bus home.

His physical condition has improved a lot in the past half a month since he was discharged from the hospital, and his internal organs have easily been able to withstand the strength he had when he first entered the D-class. But he doesn't know how much strength and speed he has now, he only knows that he is far stronger than then, and even suspects that he has C-level strength, but he can't play it for the time being.

The bus drove one stop after another, stopped near the Jinchuan community, got off Wanli, and went home.

"30 pages, 960 pages are close to 30,000 pieces. It's 8 percent more royalties, I can divide 8 cents for a single book of 10 yuan, if I can sell 100,000 copies, it's 80,000 yuan, and the 24-word single book is 1.96 million, and I sell 200,000 copies...... "Wanli estimated his income in his heart while walking home, "Oh, there are anime adaptations, and comic peripherals, a lot of money...... Maybe I'll be able to live in a big private villa with a practice room on New Year's Day next year? Hey, hey, hey. ”

He giggled a few times, daydreaming without breaking the law.

Pushing open the door, he subconsciously looked at his comic table, which was empty and unaccustomed to him. He walked over and was stunned again.

"How come there are still dozens of pages of drawings? It won't be a missed ...... Oh, it's this! ”

It was a graffiti caricature drawn by Wan Wan for an hour after the manga was manifested, a magician's self-introduction meeting, to test whether the manga could appear again.

"It's naΓ―ve." Wan Li laughed at himself, pursed his lips, and muttered softly: "Don't want fire-based magic, don't want water-based magic, and don't want earth-based magic, as long as Wali Sheep's ability is enough!" ”

After a few moments, nothing happened.

Wan Li sighed: "Sure enough, it didn't work, there were heavy losses, and the 16 tireless bodies became 10." ”

The six matches burned in that battle have never been restored, and although Wan Li has not practiced, he concluded that the body of immortality is missing six.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered another thing, and muttered: "If the comic can manifest, I will take off my head and kick it as a ball......"

As soon as the words fell, the thirty-odd pages of drawings on the flat table instantly flew up, and there was a red light on them!

"That's impossible to drop! It's a spell, isn't it?! Wanli was ecstatic, holding his chest high and his arms outstretched, waiting for the red light to fly into his body.

However, the red light on the 30-odd pages of drawings seemed to be stuck, flashing and flashing, becoming more and more dazzling, and then exploded and dissipated, leaving only the scraps of paper flying in the sky!

"Comics... Blown up? Wan Li murmured: "Red light... Gone? What's going on? Could it be... This comic... Does not meet the apparition conditions??? ”
