Listening to Shang Haozhi's answer, Shen Xin was somewhat surprised.

With just a little hint, you can guess the soul, and Shang Haozhi is not simple.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Shang Haozhi saw that Shen Xin didn't speak, and hurriedly asked.

"Nope. You're quite right. But there is no such thing as a soul in another world, so what the human body lacks in refining is the 'spirit and soul'. ”

Shang Haozhi bowed slightly, "Hearing your explanation like this, the logic will make sense." By the way, we seem to have gone a little far, and you still haven't explained the connection between the 'Gate of Truth' and alchemy. ”

"As the name suggests, inside the 'Gate of Truth' is the 'Truth', and when an alchemist performs the human body refinement, he will be brought to the 'Gate of Truth'. Of course, these are just the current settings and have not yet taken shape. ”

Shen Xin didn't say it too perfectly, but simply mentioned it.

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin, looked at the setting in his hand, and fell into deep thought.

"Wait...... I have one more question. Wang Wenhong suddenly interjected.

"Huh?"

"Since the human body has been refined, at least it has been refined, or at least there are rumors of refining. So, theoretically, there should be some kind of item that can replace the soul or spirit, right? Wang Wenhong said.

Shen Xin looked at Wang Wenhong in surprise, he didn't expect him to think of this step.

"Am I wrong?" Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin in surprise.

"I didn't ...... Well, there are indeed such rumors in the setting - I wonder if you've heard of the Philosopher's Stone? ”

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong shook their heads, they didn't know much about the occult.

"It's a substance that can turn cheap metal into gold. Therefore, in the entire alchemy system, there will be philosopher's stones. ”

"And how do you get it?" Wang Wenhong asked.

Are you a hundred thousand why?

Shen Xin was in a cold sweat, and now he had said enough. If you continue to talk about it, the whole system will come out.

If he had been preparing for a month, he would have been able to talk to him, but now that it had only been a week, he would definitely have to have reservations. What's more, the refining of the Sage's Stone also involves the plot later.

"I don't know." Shen Xin kept some settings and didn't say it.

"Huh? I don't know? Wang Wenhong was a little surprised.

"Yes, the setting of the comics, you need to check a lot of information, and the logic between the settings must also be taken into account. So, the progress of this comic, it's really not fast, I just said, at least three months, and that's why. Shen Xin patiently explained.

Shang Haozhi fell into deep thought, and Wang Wenhong had no temper.

Creation is not like other work, you can't think of it, you just don't have it, and once you get stuck at a certain point, the efficiency is even lower and scary.

Shang Haozhi is not thinking about these things now, but about the comic itself...... More precisely, he just saw the setting.

Alchemy, Equivalent Exchange, Human Refinement, Door to Truth......

So far, he has only seen four settings, but these four settings do not exist alone, but are progressive, in other words, they are closely connected to each other by "logic", while other comics, unless they are reasoning types, generally rarely have this form.

Therefore, Shang Haozhi also feels looking forward to the future of this comic.

From the current point of view, the setting of this manga is already very clever. If a tight and reasonable plot can be designed, the quality of this manga will be extremely high.

However, ComicFuture has never serialized this type of manga, and it is impossible to predict what kind of results it will have in the future.

"Hmm...... Let's look at your next setting and outline first, can you make a name in May? After pondering for a long time, Shang Haozhi still had no clue, so he could only judge the trend of the entire comic according to the next content.

"Name not sure, at the end of March, the setting and outline should be able to give you. The character and name have to be dragged back. ”

Shen Xin didn't dare to set the time too close, so he could only drag it out like this for the time being.

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin, pondered for two or three seconds, and then turned his head to look at Wang Wenhong, "How many authors do you still have in your hand?" ”

"Two ...... One of them is a rookie author. ”

"The rookie author handed over to Hu Ke, during this time, you are mainly responsible for Teacher Shen's side. I'm going to see the characters before the end of the month. Shang Haozhi touched his beard and said his decision, "Mr. Shen, the manuscript fee and royalties, when the name comes out, we will discuss it carefully, of course, the treatment is at least the same as the previous comic." What exactly is the price of this manga, we have to look at the name to be sure. What do you think? ”

The implication is that Shen Xin's manuscript fee is temporarily the same as the previous one, and if the quality of the new work is enough to carry the pillar comics, the magazine will continue to add money.

This is also Shang Haozhi's helpless move, ten comics with excellent results can't withstand a pillar comic, the gap left by "Chess Soul" and "Killer Diary" must be filled as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that Shen Xin is the best person to fill the vacancy.

Once Shen Xin can really come up with a suitable name, the magazine will definitely not be stingy with manuscript fees.

Shen Xin nodded, indicating that he had no opinion.

There is cooperation between him and the magazine, and he did not hand over the "goods" on his side, and the other party is really not good at giving the price.

The conditions of both parties have been confirmed, and the next step is to negotiate the details after submitting the name. The second collaboration between Shen Xin and "ComicFuture" has also taken shape.

The next evening, Shen Xin was sorting out the settings of "Steel Refining" when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Yesterday, I had an exchange with Shang Haozhi, who else is coming?

Shen Xin was confused, went downstairs, looked out the door through the cat's eyes, but found that it was Wang Wenhong.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

Shen Xin opened the door and looked at Wang Haozhi standing at the door with his suitcase, full of doubts in his heart.

"Mr. Gao said, before the name comes out, let me help you a little more, and help you check the information at night or something. By the way, you should have extra room here, right? Wang Wenhong asked.

"There is ......"

Shen Xin scratched his head, this decision was really unexpected.

"Mr. Shang arranged it, and he is in a hurry now...... Recently, the magazine has not been in a good situation. Wang Wenhong closed the door casually.

"What's going on?" Shen Xin was a little surprised, since the end of "Chess Soul", he hadn't bought many magazines.

"The Killer's Diary is almost over, and there is no replacement for the comics. So, everyone's expectations are on you. Wang Wenhong said helplessly.

"What shall I do?" Shen Xin yawned and climbed the stairs.

"If you sit in Mr. Shang's position, I'm afraid you won't think so." Wang Wenhong followed Shen Xin.

"Looking for 'foreign aid'...... "MangaFly" can introduce the serialized comics of Region 11, can't "ComicFuture"?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"Not really. ComicFuture is very important to the first release, after all, it is necessary to distinguish it from "MangaFly". Do you think the signature writers of major magazines are willing to come over? ”

Shen Xin thought about it, and it didn't seem to be there.
