Chapter 287: End of the Year
Full-time hunter this work,In the early stage,It's a bit slow.。
From the protagonist Xiaojie leaving Whale Island, to meeting Leoleo and Kurapika on the road, to the trio taking a boat to the hunter assessment site, and establishing a certain friendship after encountering a storm in the middle.
On the way to the assessment site, a bus driver arranged by the Hunters' Association deliberately took them on a long detour.
There is a strange old woman from a deserted village who guides the candidates to a dead end full of monsters and beasts.
There are also Warcraft couples who can deceive people and mislead the group
Overall, these plots are quite interesting, and the whole process is full of wits and courage, but that's it
Give fans a feeling of unfinished business.
Isn't this comic a combat comic?
Why.
So far, the protagonist Xiaojie hasn't even shown up in a decent battle?
Although, it's cool to choose one of the two answers of the old woman in the deserted city, and the man who wants to trap them die at the hands of the beast like this, but the protagonist hasn't shown anything, and it does feel awkward.
But by the time this comic was serialized to the sixth episode, finally, the hunter assessment competition that fans had been thinking about began.
Take a boat, take a bus, fly with the monster, and then take the elevator down to the depths of the ground.
The plot of the first six episodes of the hunter is constantly changing scenes.
As for the sixth episode.
Hundreds of them passed the early assessment and came to the assessment site.
The pervert Hisoka, Dongba, the ninja Hanzo, and the gloomy boy Killua
Then, it was the first level of the hunter exam, and it turned out to be a large army under the leadership of the examiner, running a marathon collectively?
"It's finally time for the hunter exam. I feel that this comic has also entered the main line. ”
"It took a month and a half of serialization to enter the main line, and it was really procrastinating."
"I think it's pretty good, those little graduate school entrance exams in the early stage are quite interesting."
"Of the trio of protagonists, only Kurapika has an IQ, and Leoleo is a character with well-developed limbs and a simple mind."
"But that new character, Hisoka, is interesting, and I kind of like this kind of perversion."
"That Dongba is also quite interesting. He actually took the hunter exam for the purpose of harming candidates? I don't understand, what good is this kind of thing that harms others and himself? ”
"I feel that this work is different from all the previous works of the old thief."
"I also feel this way, the characters of this work are obviously much better. In the old thief's previous works, there were very few eye-catching supporting roles, and the story basically revolved around the protagonist. But full-time hunters are completely different, on the contrary, I am not particularly interested in what Xiaojie has to perform, I prefer to watch the plot of Leoleo and Kurapika. ”
"I like Dongba's real villain, he's really funny."
"Actually, I like Hisoka. This character is as perverted as me, and the painting of the great god of Mo Ran is really suitable for this kind of perverted character. ”
"But it looks like the old thief comic should be very long, and I don't know how long this hunter exam will be serialized? I really want to wait for this plot to be serialized and then read it in one go. ”
"Forget it, don't mention this kind of unrealistic words. Unless you don't buy the North Comics periodical. Otherwise, the first page of this journal is a manga chapter for full-time hunters, and I don't believe you can bear it. ”
"Alas, the old thief is really annoying! Why would he create so many works at the same time and not be able to focus all his energy on being a full-time hunter and update three times a week? ”
"That's right. It takes a year to build a house, and three times as many people can build it in four months? ”
"That's right."
After the sixth serialization of the full-time hunter, the first big chapter of this work began.
The topic of fan discussion of this comic on the Internet has also changed from slow, feeling unthreaded, and boring in the past few weeks, to a discussion of the characters who appear in this chapter.
In the process of the release of Cyberpunk 2077BD, Xia Yan also paid attention to the online public opinion of full-time hunters all the time.
Xia Yan himself knows very well that as a full-time hunter as a juvenile combat manga, the early plot is a little slow to progress.
But in fact, if you look at the whole work from the perspective of the whole work, you can also find that Yoshihiro Tomiyasu cleverly set the plot in the early stage of this work.
For example, Kurapika's eyes turn red when she sees spiders, which is obviously a reflection of the Phantom Brigade.
Why does Leonio like money? The answer to this question will soon be revealed in the Dragon Kingdom as well.
Most importantly, in the sixth episode of the manga, Xiaojie asks the two why they want to participate in the hunter assessment to become hunters.
Leoleo is saying that he is in it for money, and he wants to become a hunter and become a treasure hunter to make a lot of money and live a good life.
Kurapika, on the other hand, said that he wanted to become a hunter because it was the greatest profession in the world, benefiting humanity and promoting social progress.
Fans of the Dragon Kingdom who only saw the sixth episode of this comic, at this time, they couldn't feel that there was anything wrong with the two of them's answers?
But Xia Yan, who knew the plot later, was actually infinitely emotional in his heart when he drew the draft of the storyboard of this plot.
Could it be that Yoshihiro Tomiyasu had already laid the groundwork here in the early days of this manga?
Because behind the manga, Kurapika failed to become a hunter who benefits humanity and contributes to the advancement of society.
Because of his hatred, he became a treasure hunter, serving as a bodyguard for some of the richest and helping them find treasures.
Instead, Leoleo became a doctor.
The two lived each other as each other wanted them to be.
Hunter's work, when you watch it for the first time, you won't feel particularly deeply, but when you watch it for the second time, there are a lot of words and choices of the characters in the early stage, which will make you feel distressed inexplicably.
End of November.
December is coming.
The weather in the Demon Capital area dropped sharply, and Xia Yan, Mo Ran, Song Lingyun, and Tang Yin all changed into winter clothes.
Xia Yan and Song Lingyun are classmates, and they are both juniors.
Besides, I am still a literature major, and at this time, there are basically a lot fewer courses in the school, and the number of courses is less than half compared to the sophomore year.
So there were no classes for two days in a row, and as for Mo Ran, as a senior sister, she had already stopped having classes, and basically only needed to spend a certain amount of time processing her graduation thesis.
And Mo Ran is different from her classmates, in the past two years of cooperation with Xia Yan, Xia Yan has earned hundreds of millions, and she has also earned tens of millions, so she doesn't have to worry about her work, she is addicted to comic creation all day long.
Unlike people like Xia Yan, who have many works and cause distractions, Mo Ran is very single-minded, and she enjoys comic creation.
Early in the morning, the four of them sat down at the dining table for dinner.
"Speaking of Xia Yan, in the comic of full-time hunter, aren't you going to introduce any superpower elements in the later stage? Just let the protagonist fight by physical strength all the time? Mo Ran asked as she took a small bite of bread.
"Well, there will be one later, but it will not be reflected until a dozen or twenty words are serialized. The protagonist battle at this stage mainly relies on his brain. Xia Yan picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and said with a smile.
After all, the few people present can be said to be the only three friends in the world, and one of them is still her girlfriend, and he is not shy about discussing these topics, and he is not worried that they will be leaked.
"But Song Lingyun, you have to take it easy, you're making drafts for dinner." At this time, Tang Yin next to him looked at Song Lingyun, who was writing something with his head down, and said.
"Thanks, but leave me alone. I recently competed with "Crimson Abyss" for the second place in the journal rankings. The plot serialized in this month is crucial and must be considered repeatedly. ”
Song Lingyun's face was slightly pale, her new work has been serialized for more than a year, and her popularity has also accumulated, but because she has been squeezing her sleep time for two months to create, her complexion looks a little weak.
"Maintaining the ranking rank has to be done under the condition of paying attention to physical health." Tang Yin and Song Lingyun have known each other for several years, and although there is an age gap between the two, they are definitely good friends, and they are also distressed to speak at this time.
"That's the loser's approach." Song Lingyun looked at Tang Yin and then at Xia Yan.
"The author of Crimson Abyss was also the leading light genius of the Dragon Kingdom back then. If I want to defeat him, then in addition to competing with him for talent, I have to compete hard to win, and I have to sacrifice something to a certain extent. Song Lingyun said softly.
After Xia Yan and Tang Yin glanced at each other, he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking.
In terms of Song Lingyun's age, he is only twenty years old, and it is already an exaggeration to be able to maintain the third place in the Liuli Journal for a long time.
But the reason why she is so persistent in wanting to go further is of course very simple.
Nowadays, the three most popular works in Liuli Journal, Xia Yan's "Sword Art Online" is unbeatable, followed by "Crimson Abyss" and Song Lingyun's "Boundary".
If Song Lingyun wants to challenge Xia Yan as the goal, at least, she has to let her work come to the second place in the journal.
Xia Yan and Tang Yin both sensed her thoughts, so they didn't know what to say.
Tell her not to try so hard? Xia Yan is a hanger, why bother?
When this kind of thing is said, it is estimated that with Song Lingyun's character, she will not pay attention to the two of them for at least a month, because this is obviously underestimating her.
"You two have been doing it lately, how do you feel weird." At this time, he was eating oranges and ink on the side, looking at Xia Yan and Tang Yin with interesting eyes.
"Well, what's weird?" Tang Yin's heart jumped, and her fingers clenched.
"Anyway, the atmosphere is weird, like the previous eye contact, it always feels quite intimate." Mo Ran said thoughtfully.
Song Lingyun, who was writing something in the notebook with her head down, also raised her head and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"It's that you're thinking too much." Tang Yin's face stiffened with a smile.
"Xia Yan and I meet every day in the company, and it's normal to have a little tacit understanding. After all, animation takes a lot of time to communicate. ”
Tang Yin and Xia Yan have not yet clarified the relationship with Song Lingyun and Mo Ran, and at first they felt that it would be awkward for the four of them to get along after the announcement.
Now, it wasn't announced at the beginning, and I didn't want to take the initiative to announce it later.
"Oh, that's it!" After Mo Ran and Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan and Tang Yin more, they also dispelled the doubts in their minds.
After all, these two have never been in love, and their association power is not too rich, Tang Yin said this, and the two of them believed it.
After breakfast, Song Lingyun and Mo Ran stayed at home to create their works, while Xia Yan drove to the company with Tang Yin.
In the car
"I said that the two of us feel like cheating, obviously we are in a normal relationship, and I am worried about being discovered." Tang Yin leaned her head against the car window, her voice slightly speechless.
"Then tell them about our relationship!" Xia Yan said with a smile while driving.
"Say what? After saying that, I guess the two of them will move out of the house soon, and they don't want to be our two light bulbs. Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan with pupils and said.
"But it's only a matter of time before they find out." Xia Yan thought for a while and said.
"We'll talk about it then." Tang Yin looked out the car window.
"And," Tang Yin stopped when he wanted to speak.
"And what?" Xia Yan waited for a long time, but didn't hear the following.
"I said Xia Yan, are you really not feeling it at all?" Tang Yin turned his head to look at Xia Yan.
"What does it feel?" Xia Yan was inexplicable.
"You. With half of the emotional intelligence of your male characters, you understand everything. Tang Yin sighed.
"Really?" Xia Yan thought about it, and if he didn't understand, he didn't want to.
That's the kind of character he is.
After coming to the company, I had an initial negotiation with some manufacturers who wanted to cooperate with the company to distribute Lelouch and share the proportion.
Now Lelouch Animation has only been in production for a month, but in fact, its major section partners have already flocked to it.
Both Xia Yan Moyuan and Cyberpunk Edge Walker have made huge profits in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.
Xia Yan alone has an income of hundreds of millions or even billions, and those cooperative manufacturers, who don't follow Xia Yan's cooperation, are full of oil.
Several manufacturers that have a good relationship with Xia Tang Animation Company, acting as agents for the distribution of Xia Yan's works, have also earned hundreds of millions of Dragon Kingdom coins in recent years.
So although Xia Tang Animation Production Company does not have any animation works broadcast now, even the animation release of the second part of 2077 hardly requires Xia Yan to make any effort.
But coming to the company every day to negotiate with these partners and sign contracts also occupies a considerable amount of Xia Yan's experience.
At the end of early December, it snowed in the Modu area.
The whole city is covered in snow.
In such a situation, the seventh episode of the full-time hunter manga was serialized.
And the serialized plot of this sentence has significantly improved the score and public opinion of this comic.
On the Jiuxiao Forum, the rating of full-time hunters rose from 9.2 to 9.4 overnight.
The plot of this episode inherits the place where the hunter assessment officially began in the previous episode.
After the team led by the examiner started the ultra-long-distance high-speed underground cave marathon, a group of participants also fell into the danger of the hunter exam.
Compared with the endless beasts in the examination process, the most dangerous thing in the hunter assessment is the human heart.
Dongba, this honest fat uncle, takes the hunter exam every year for the purpose of harming newcomers.
The protagonists Jay, Kurapika, and Leorio are deliberately taken to a fork in the tunnel that releases the aroma of hallucinations.
Both Leoleo and Kurapika are hallucinating.
Kurapika's hallucinations are not shown, but people are almost crazy, but Leoleo's hallucinations are shown in detail, and, through his hallucinations, let the audience know for the first time why he likes money.
And, the reason why he became a hunter.
The reason why the plot of the full-time hunter will make comic book readers feel and cause the score of the work to rise is because of Leoleo's memories.
