Chapter 503: Unabated
Only four people knew about the bet between Shen Xin and Bao Jiyi, and Bao Jiyi also urged the other three people not to disclose it.
Bao Jiyi's guard against Shen Xin mainly depends on what conditions Shen Xin will propose after winning the bet.
Knowing in advance, he can deal with it, but like now, Shen Xin throws out an unknown condition that makes him a little crazy.
However, Shang Haozhi is right. If "Steel Refining" can really exceed 10 million copies in a certain extension year, it will definitely touch the ceiling of domestic comics. Moreover, from the current point of view, the starting point for the increase in single-line book sales is likely to be October this year, which is the day when the "Steel Refining" animation is released.
As for the mysterious unknown condition afterwards, although Bao Jiyi did not know, Shang Haozhi also reminded him that since Shen Xin did not choose to leave, it means that both sides still have room for maneuver. They just dig the foot of the wall.
Bao Jiyi handed this matter to Wang Wenhong, and at the same time vowed in his heart that if Shen Xin can really do this, the website will definitely keep Shen Xin at all costs.
After Shen Xin negotiated the conditions with the magazine, his goal was mainly to create "Steel Refining". At the same time, he took advantage of his free time to clarify the subsequent plot of "Steel Refining".
Speaking of, Bao Jiyi's two requirements, others are more concerned about the second.
Because in the history of Huaxia Comics, there was only one comic with an annual sales volume of more than 10 million. That was because there were too few comic books in China at that time, and the level was average. Finally, a fairly good comic appeared, which naturally received a lot of attention. People sought after.
Now it’s different. There are too many to mention comic magazines alone, not to mention serialized comics, readers also have more choices, which will lead to a problem-diversion.
This has resulted in "The Legend of the Dragon King" being serialized for fourteen and five years, the highest sales year, only seven or eight million copies, and other comics are even far behind.
Therefore, if Shen Xin can sell 10 million copies within 12 months, he can almost be "God" in one book.
But the first condition is also difficult to cope with. If it is just Wang Yunze's new work, Shen Xin is not afraid, he is afraid of too many activities on the Internet.
After all, as long as the comics have enough topics, the popularity will quickly rise, and even before they are serialized, they may generate popularity.
In the past month, under the influence of "Soul of Go: Beidou Cup", the popularity of "Steel Refined" has remained high. With the movie version, "Soul of Go" broke into the top ten in one fell swoop, which surprised many people.
Obviously it was a work two years ago, and it still has such a high popularity... Isn't this too exaggerated?
The popularity of more than two comics is good, and the sales of single-page books are also high. The second volume of the complete version of "Hire of Go", which was first printed with 200,000 copies, sold 60% to 70% after only one week of release, and the magazine had to notify. The printing plant will print another 50,000 copies.
After that, at the end of February, Zhenyu Technology took the opportunity to release the game pv of "Soul of Go", which once again raised the popularity of "Soul of Go".
"For the movie "Hire of Go", just go to the cinema to see it. How to play the game?"
"I don't know, I don't know how to play Go, I guess even Zhenyu Technology can't play any tricks."
"However, looking at the screen, it seems to be AVG (adventure game), it is the process of the original book."
"Huh? Then I might as well read the comic again."
"This kind of game definitely has branches. Maybe there will be emotional lines..."
"Ah? Is there a heroine in "Soul of Chess"?"
"Xiao Liang."
"..."
Many people are not very optimistic about the game of "Soul of Go", but some people think that since the movie is so good, the game of "Soul of Go" should also have characteristics.
In a blink of an eye, we enter March.
The movie "Soul of Go: Beidou Cup" came to an end and began to be shown on major TV stations at the same time. Some websites that bought the rights to the movie also put the video on the homepage of the website for recommendation.
The popularity of "Hireki" is still continuing...
During this period, Shen Xin sorted out the follow-up plots of "Steel Refining" and divided the levels according to the degree of excitement of the plot.
For a whole month of February, "Steel Refining" won the first place in both the small book and the popularity.
Of course, on the one hand, influenced by "Soul of Chess", some people love Wuwu and Wu, and transfer their love of "Soul of Chess" to the serialized "Gang Lian", but more importantly, the plot of "Gang Lian" during this period of time. , And it’s just as exciting—though not fighting.
When Edward saw his father in his hometown, the two did not speak much.
In the night, Hoinheim talked with Winry's grandma.
"Is the human body formed by two children really Du Lisha?"
Edward, who was standing outside the door eavesdropping, knew this and was shocked.
The next day, after Hoinheim left home again, Edward dug up the tomb where he and Al's body were refined, only to find that the bones of a man were buried inside, not his mother's.
The rain poured down, and Edward, who learned the truth, knelt on the ground and laughed.
This incident made him understand the truth that "people cannot be resurrected", and at the same time, it also made him sure that Al can restore his body to its original state.
In these four words, Yao Lin and Zhang Mei also have their own experiences.
Yao Lin announced his identity as the prince, which surprised Al and Wenli, while Zhang Mei and Xiaomei (little panda) met Yuki (the third chapter of the original mine).
The enthusiasm of "Soul of the Game" has not concealed the excitement of "Steel Refining" itself, and the publication of Chapter 79 "The Tomb without a Name (Part 1, the secrets related to "The Gate of Truth" are gradually revealed.
Both the reader and the author were attracted by this statement.
When Edward learned that the product he had made was not his mother, he immediately called his master Izmi.
"There is one sentence that may offend the master... But, is the child that the master completes the body training really your son?"
After talking on the phone with Izmi, Edward also returned to Central City and saw Al after the war.
Edward, Al, and Wen Li sat together, reminiscing about the past, including some memories that Al and Wen Li knew, but Edward did not.
"This is the memory before ten, but after ten? You don't have a head. Where are those memories and experiences stored?"
Al took the helmet and pointed to the mark painted inside.
Edward shook his head, "That mark just fixes your soul... I think... your body exists in a certain space, and your body and brain are constantly running."
On the one hand, it is the body, on the other hand is the soul~lightnovelpub.net~ and it is the "spirit" that combines the two.
...
When readers saw this, they fell into heated discussion again.
"The most exciting fight is over, but why is the story so beautiful?"
"Because it has been deciphering, there is no extra plot. Although multiple lines go hand in hand, each line is telling the story-related content."
"Have you noticed that although it is a decryption, the logic of these words is very clear."
"Yes, I also found out. After realizing that he was not a mother, Edward deliberately gave Izmi to him, and he was also confirming his guess."
"Edward also asked Al Memory to verify guesses."
Many readers have found that as the story progresses, "Steel Refining" has not fallen into plainness, but has become more exciting. This has kept the popularity of "Steel Refined" unabated.
