In the 49th episode, "Chess King vs. Xiaoliang (2)" won a new high in votes, with 449 votes, beating "Hunting Abyss" and winning the third place.

In the 50th episode, "Chess King vs. Xiaoliang (3)" surpassed "Killer Diary", with 510 votes, close to "The Legend of the Dragon King".

When the little book of ComicFuture came down, every editor looked horrified.

Usually it looks quite bland "Chess Soul", once it appears. climax, the popularity has increased dramatically, and even "Killer Diary", which won the best long-form comic award last year, was pulled down by "Chess Soul".

Wang Wenhong watched the other editors discuss the results of "Chess Soul", but he felt a little tired in his heart.

These people don't know how much effort he, Shen Xin, and Xie Shiqi have put in to restore the game as much as possible.

In the comics, Xie Shiqi had to revise the dialogues related to Go repeatedly, trying to make those who can't understand Go enjoy the fun of Go.

Shen Xin is the same, many scenes are written by himself, the original manuscript is revised repeatedly, and every grid is tried to do the best. Even in order to draw the atmosphere of the dojo, he deliberately stayed in the dojo all day, observing the demeanor and demeanor of the students.

Not to mention Wang Wenhong, in the past period of time, he broke two pairs of leather shoes and touched four blisters on his feet.

Therefore, behind this achievement, is the sweat they left behind.

It's a little pity that "Chess Soul" still didn't surpass "The Legend of the Dragon King" and won the first place, and Wang Wenhong also saw the name of the next episode. After the end of "Chess King vs. Xiaoliang", the plot of "Chess Soul" will stabilize again.

In a short period of time, the second place is the best result of "Chess Soul".

Shang Haozhi looked at this ranking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the results of "Chess Soul" proved like others that his vision was still fine.

Jian Xiaomei handed over the three consecutive issues of the small book to Ye Hexu with a heavy heart, put away the original manuscript and name, and glanced at Ye Hexu again, only to see that he was looking at the 50th chapter of "Chess Soul" with a solemn expression.

"Are you alright?"

"Nope." Ye Hexu shook his head, but then fell silent again.

Today's Ye Hexu is not the same as the one who usually talks eloquently.

"Do you have anything on your mind?" Jian Xiaomei asked.

"I didn't have anything on my mind, I found ...... I was wrong. Ye Hexu muttered to himself.

"What?" Jian Xiaomei was a little puzzled.

Ye Hexu took out a setting from the drawer, and the first sketch was the monster with a human face and a beast body from before.

He handed over these sketches to Jian Xiaomei, "This is the plot of the next stage, you can take a look at it first, and if it really doesn't work, tell me later." ”

"Huh?" Jian Xiaomei was surprised by the draft handed over by Ye Hexu.

As the editor of Ye Hexu, she is well aware of the importance of this setting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the setting of this draft is the ultimate that Ye Hexu can do at present.

"Isn't this the manuscript you are going to use to face off against Teacher Shen?"

"You can't win." Ye Hexu shook his head and said, "You should know that the quality of the last three episodes of "Chess Soul" is very high. However, this is not the best plot that Mr. Shen thinks. These drafts can't win "Chess Soul...... Jian Xiaomei! I've already lost to Mr. Shen once, and this time, no matter what, I'm going to win! Certain! ”

Ye Hexu turned his head and looked at Jian Xiaomei, "If you admit defeat and surrender, then hurry up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jian Xiaomei waved the manuscript in his hand and smashed it on Ye Hexu's head.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and do your best, lost to Mr. Shen last time, weren't you too careless? With so many words, it's better to make a new setting quickly. ”

Hearing Jian Xiaomei's angry words, the corners of Ye Hexu's mouth curled, "The animation of "Chess Soul" will be broadcast in October, then, the plot prepared by Mr. Shen should also get better in October, and when the time comes, it will be up to who can laugh at the end." ”

……

When Hook knocked on the door of Syen's studio, he was torn inwardly.

Shen Xin is Wang Wenhong's cartoonist, and Wang Wenhong is a member of his own group, according to common sense, he should be happy that "Chess Soul" won the second place, but Shi Yan is his author.

The latest issue of the magazine, "Killer Diary" was pulled down by "Chess Soul", not only that, the recent plot of "Killer Diary" is a bit boring, and if it continues like this, it may be likely to be surpassed by "Hunting Abyss" and the subsequent comics.

This question is not big or small, in short-teacher Shi Yan, you are tired.

In the studio, the assistants were all painting with their heads down, and Shi Yan, who was wearing his hair in a bun, held his head with both hands and looked at the drawing board in front of him expressionlessly.

"Teacher Shi, recently "Killer Diary" was surpassed by "Chess Soul". Hook walked over to Shi Yan and whispered.

"Huh?"

Shi Yan turned his head to look at Hook, his face was full of haggardness, and the stubble above his lips and chin was about two millimeters long, obviously not in a long time.

"What's the matter with you?" Hook looked at Shi Yan in surprise.

"Can't think of it...... I can't think of a new name. Shi Yan's eye bags were black, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, "After the lunch box Xiao Ji defeated the big demon king of the lunch box, I can't find a new entry point...... Mr. Hook, if not, the publication will be closed next week, and I will be able to take a break and find new inspiration. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? "Chess Soul" has surpassed you, "Hunting Abyss" is also eyeing your position, if you want to rest, you can do it, but you have to remember that you will be trampled under the feet of newcomers! Hu Ke snapped.

"Huh?"

"Before, you were under one and above eighteen in ComicFuture. In the future, you may be under 3 people and above 16 people. No...... Under 10 people, even, it is not necessary to be beheaded. ”

Shi Yan's face turned pale, and then he covered his stomach.

"Mr. Hook, my stomach hurts."

"Hold on! Teacher Shi - You must know that readers like authors who are constantly changing, and cartoonists who will work hard to create even if they have to enter the operating room at the next moment! Authors who break off changes casually will be abandoned by readers. Hook pressed his hands on Syan's shoulders.

"Is that so? You're saying that if I keep going, readers won't abandon me? Syan looked up at Hook.

"Not really." Hook shook his finger, "Readers like authors who can both persevere and create interesting comics, just like Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang. ”

"Teacher Shen and Teacher Wang?" Shi Yan's eyes were bright, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I have an idea." ”

"Really? I was right. Hook excitedly patted Syan on the shoulder.

"Well, Xiao Ji's next opponent is the Kiwi King, who is insidious and cunning. The special move is 'Bewitchment', which can make the people under him lose their minds. Shi Yan quickly drew a sketch of a character on the scratch paper, turned around, and handed the sketch to Hook, "Teacher Hook, what do you think?" ”

“……”

Kiwi? Bewitch?

Hook looked at the kiwi king in his hand with a black line, and compared it with his own stubble, it was really similar.

Teacher Shi ...... May I ask the prototype of this "Kiwi King", is it me?
