Chapter 93: A Chance Encounter

Entering the extreme comic, comic elements come to the face.

Above the middle aisle, there are advertisements for various manga, and the signature manga of the three major magazines must be listed, in addition to the manga published by first-class magazines such as "Manga Weekly" and "Girls' Century".

The bookstore also demarcates different areas according to the type of comics, such as reasoning, blood, sports, love, Xianxia, horror and other areas.

On the sign at the door, Shen Xin even saw youth comics and 18X comics, but these comics were on the third floor of Jiman Bookstore, and if you want to go in, you have to check your ID card first.

In the Jiman bookstore, Shen Xin also found "Y's".

Its location is relatively remote, after all, the good place is to give up the signature comics of the three major magazines, and there are some single books imported from the 11th district.

In general, there are more copies of "Y's" than the surrounding manga, and the location of this small stall is also relatively conspicuous, and the clerk who is extremely comic does not know where to find a poster of Iori and pastes it on the wall behind it, which also plays a role in attracting readers.

In a way, "Y's" is more valued than the manga of other non-mainstream magazines, but it is not yet comparable to the signature manga of the three major magazines.

In comparison, the sales of "Crime and Punishment" are much better, Shen Xin only stayed for ten minutes, and then three people picked up the single book of "Crime and Punishment" and went to pay the bill.

Shen Xin wandered around again, and finally stopped in front of "The Legend of the Dragon King".

"The Legend of the Dragon King" was serialized in "Comic Future" for 8 years, and 28 single books were published, each of which was a big seller, and even a few of them exceeded one million sales in a single week, almost becoming a national comic.

The story is still in the hot-blooded style, and the male protagonist is the reincarnated child of the Dragon King, born in a small village. He never saw his father, but he lived with his mother. After growing up a little, the male protagonist didn't return from hunting all night. When the morning dawns, he wants to go home, but he finds himself in a vicious place full of monsters.

The actor can only try to survive, desperately want to return to his hometown, and when he finally gets out of danger, he finds that the place where he lives is thousands of miles away from his hometown.

On the way back, he unexpectedly heard from his father......

The overall style of the manga tends to be neat, with little dot paper, and many scenes are supplemented with effect lines, some similar to the Hokage, and the painting style fits the story very well.

At the same time, in order to highlight the appearance of the monster, Wang Yunze has used cross-version more than once, and the detailed depiction of the monster has brought the audience a strong sense of impact, which is also the reason why "The Legend of the Dragon King" is sought after by readers.

What surprised Shen Xin the most in the whole comic was not Wang Yunze's painting, but his storyboard.

can tell the story at the beginning clearly with a few grids, which is much more clever than Ye Hexu, and even more powerful than him now.

The storyboards of the fighting are also very smooth, and the movements of the characters are natural without the slightest feeling of stiffness.

"It's really worthy of Mr. Wang, it's amazing."

Closing "The Legend of the Dragon King", Shen Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was the hottest comic last year, and most of the comics can't compare to him."

A voice suddenly sounded in Shen Xin's ears, he subconsciously looked left and right, but found that on the right side, there was a young man who also picked up "The Legend of the Dragon King".

said that he was a teenager, and Shen Xin judged it from his height. He should be less than one meter six five, taller than Ji Yinxuan, but not as good as Xi Muhan.

He has short broken hair, wears a blue pullover sweatshirt, and a Bluetooth headset around his neck.

Today's weather is only four or five degrees at most, isn't this teenager cold?

"By the way, Mr. Shen, aren't you in the sea of clouds? How did you come to Hongchuan? The young man looked up at Shen Xin.

The young man has delicate facial features and a hearty smile, and there is no doubt that he is a handsome guy.

"You know me?" Shen Xin was surprised.

"Of course, I've seen your photos at the autograph session. After all, it's a competitor, and therefore, I'm interested in you. The boy bared his teeth and laughed.

"Opponents?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin, he didn't remember what kind of competition he had with the boy, "I'm sorry, may I ask you ......"

"Hehe, I forgot to introduce myself, ahem...... My name is Ye Hexu. The boy put down "The Legend of the Dragon King" and said with a smile.

Huh?

Shen Xin blinked his eyes, his mind was a little messy.

"Wait...... You mean, your name is Ye Hexu? ”

The boy nodded repeatedly.

"You have the same name as the author of Hunting the Abyss?"

“…… No, I'm the author of Hunting the Abyss. Ye Hexu said seriously.

Shen Xin crossed his arms to his chest and thought for a moment, it was really difficult for him to associate the little man in front of him with Ye Hexu.

Noticing Ye Hexu's eyes, Shen Xin hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so young. ”

"I'm 19 years old, but I'm a little shorter." Ye Hexu said dissatisfied.

Shorter...... Is it?

Shen Xin coughed dryly, "I didn't expect to meet you here." Sorry, I haven't seen your photos before. ”

"It's okay, I'm a low-key person and don't care too much about that." Ye Hexu smiled, "Wait a minute." ”

With that, Ye Hexu ran to the booth of "Y's", took a set of "Y's", and came to the cash register.

When the cashier saw Ye Hexu, he was extremely attentive, and then turned his head to look at Shen Xin, his eyes were also extremely bright, and he handed Ye Hexu a signature pen without hesitation.

After paying the money, Ye Hexu tore off the plastic envelope and handed "Y's" to Shen Xin.

"Signature."

"Don't need it, do you?"

"Why not? Although we are competitors, before that, I am your book lover. ”

Shen Xin couldn't tell if Ye Hexu was ridiculing himself or serious, but Ye Hexu had already handed him the pen, and he had to write the word "Shen Zheng" casually.

"It would be nice if Y's was published in Comic Future, and everyone started from the same place, so it's interesting to compare." Ye Hexu tucked the two books under his armpit and narrowed his eyes, "But from the current point of view, your chances of winning the Newcomer Award are too small." ”

"Now there are still a few months left before the Newcomer Award, is it too arbitrary for you to say this?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"Not at all. This is not the place to talk, why not find a café? Ye Hexu pointed to the door and said.

"Around here?"

If memory serves, there should be plenty of themed cafes around here.

"That's right, follow me." Ye Hexu didn't care about Shen Xin's opinion, turned around and walked out the door.

Shen Xin touched his trouser pocket, there was only one hundred and seventy yuan left, and sighed secretly, hoping that it would not be too expensive.

As soon as Shen Xin entered the coffee house, two girls in pink maid dresses and cat ear hairpins bowed slightly to him, and another cat lady in a black maid costume led the two to an empty table.

The two of them each ordered a cup of coffee, Ye Hexu asked for some desserts, and the cat lady walked to the counter with the order menu.

"Why do you say my chances are slim?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"Because your opponent in the 'Rookie Award' is me...... There are also Su Han and Xiao Jump. Ye Hexu said with a smile.

"I know you're good, but that doesn't mean I don't have a chance, does it?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"Of course you have a chance, but ......" Ye Hexu rubbed his hands and thought for a moment, "Do you know that Y's is missing something compared to our comics?" ”

"Marketplace?"

Ye Hexu shook his head, "The market is the foundation, but in the end, any comic award is all about resources." Ye Hexu said seriously.
