Chapter 93: chance encounter
enters the extreme comics, and comic elements are coming.
Above the middle aisle, there are advertisements of various comics. The signature comics of the three major magazines are definitely on the list. In addition, there are comics published by first-rate magazines such as "Man Weekly" and "Girls' Century".
bookstore also delimits different areas according to the type of comics, such as reasoning, passion, sports, love, fairy, and horror.
On the sign at the door, Shen Xin even saw youth comics and 18X comics, but these comics are on the third floor of Jiman Bookstore, and if you want to enter, you must first check your ID.
In Jiman Bookstore, Shen Xin also found "Y\'s".
Its location is relatively remote. After all, the good place must be given to the signature comics of the three major magazines, as well as some pamphlets translated from District 11.
In general, the surplus of "Y's" is more than the few comic books around, and the location is more conspicuous in this small stall. The extremely comical clerk does not know where to find a copy of Yi The woven poster, which was posted on the wall behind, also played a role in attracting readers.
To some extent, "Y’s" is more valued than the comics of other non-mainstream magazines, but it can't compare with the signature comics of the three major magazines.
In comparison, the sales of "The Punishment" are much better. After Shen Xin only stayed for more than ten minutes, three people picked up the separate copy of "The 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" has been serialized in "ComicFuture" for 8 years, and 28 single-volume editions have been published.
The story is still passionate. The protagonist is the reincarnated child of the Dragon King, who was born in a small village. He has never seen his father, but is dependent on his mother. After growing up a little bit, the actor did not return from hunting overnight. When it was dawn, I wanted to go home, only to find that he was already in a vicious place full of monsters.
The actor can only work hard to survive, desperately trying to return to his hometown, and when he finally walks out of the dangerous place, he finds that the place he lives and his hometown are thousands of miles away.
On the way back, he accidentally learned about his father...
The overall style of manga tends to be neat and tidy, dotted paper is rarely used, and many scenes are supplemented with effect lines, some are similar to Naruto, and the style of painting is highly compatible with the story.
At the same time, in order to highlight the appearance of the monster, Wang Yunze used cross-version more than once. The detailed depiction of the monster gave the audience a strong sense of impact. This is also the reason why "The Legend of the Dragon King" is sought after by readers.
What surprised Shen Xin the most in the entire comic was not Wang Yunze's painter, but his sub-shots.
can tell the beginning story clearly in a few divisions, which is much better than Ye Hexu, and even more powerful than he is now.
Fighting shots are also very smooth, and the characters' movements are natural, without the slightest feeling of bluntness.
"As expected of Mr. Wang, so amazing."
Closed "The Legend of the Dragon King", Shen Xin couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, "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 came from Shen Xin's ear. He looked around subconsciously, but found that on the right side, a young man also picked up "The Legend of the Dragon King."
said he was a teenager, and Shen Xin judged it from his height. He should be less than 1.65 meters, taller than Ji Yinxuan, but not as good as Xi Muhan.
He has short broken hair, is wearing a blue pullover sweater, and a Bluetooth headset is hung around his neck.
Today’s weather is at most four or five degrees Celsius. Isn’t this boy cold?
"By the way, Teacher Shen, aren't you in the sea of clouds? How come you come to Hongchuan?" The boy looked up at Shen Xin.
The young boy has exquisite features and a hearty smile. There is no doubt that he is a handsome boy.
"Do you know me?" Shen Xin was surprised.
"Of course, I have seen your photo at the autograph meeting. After all, it is a competitor, so I am very interested in you." The young boy grinned.
"Opponent?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin. He didn't remember how he was competing with the boy, "Sorry, may I ask if you are..."
"Hey, I forgot to introduce myself, cough cough... my name is Ye Hexu." The boy put down "The Legend of the Dragon King" and said with a smile.
Eh?
Shen Xin blinked his eyes, his brain a little confused.
"Wait...you mean, your name is Ye Hexu?"
The boy nodded repeatedly.
"You have the same name as the author of "The Hunting Abyss"?"
"...No, I am the author of "The Hunting Abyss"." Ye Hexu said seriously.
Shen Xin crossed his arms and thought for a moment. It was really difficult for him to connect the little man in front of him with Ye Hexu.
Noting Ye Hexu’s Lingyu eyes, Shen Xin quickly explained: “Sorry, I didn’t know you were so young.”
"I am 19 years old, but I am a little shorter." Ye Hexu said dissatisfied.
is a little shorter...?
Shen Xin coughed dryly, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Sorry, I haven't seen your picture before."
"It's okay, I'm a low-key person, I don't care much about these." Ye Hexu smiled, "Wait a moment."
speaking, Ye Hexu ran to the booth of "Y\'s", took a set of "Y\'s", and came to the cashier.
The cashier saw Ye Hexu, very attentive, then turned his head and glanced at Shen Xin, his eyes were also very bright, and he handed Ye Hexu a signature pen without hesitation.
After paying the money, Ye Hexu tore off the plastic seal and handed "Y\'s" to Shen Xin.
"Signature."
"No need, right?"
"Why don't you need it? Although we are competitors, before that, I was a fan of your books."
Shen Xin could not tell whether Ye Hexu was teasing himself or was serious, but Ye Hexu had already handed him the pen, so he had to write the words "Shen Zheng" in hand.
"It would be great if "Y's" were published in "ComicFuture"~lightnovelpub.net~ Everyone started from the same starting point, so it would be interesting to compare." Ye Hexu clamped the two books under his arm and narrowed his eyes. "But from So far, your chances of winning the newcomer award are too small."
"There are still a few months before the newcomer award. Are you too arbitrary when you say this?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.
"Not at all. This is not a place to talk. Why don't you find a coffee shop?" Ye Hexu pointed out the door and said.
"nearby?"
If I remember correctly, there should be many themed cafes around here.
"Yes, come with me." Ye Hexu turned around and walked out the door regardless of Shen Xin's opinion.
Shen Xin touched his trouser pocket, only one hundred and seventy dollars were left, and he sighed secretly, hoping it would not be too expensive.
Ye Hexu chose a cat girl cafe. As soon as Shen Xin entered the coffee house, two girls in pink maid skirts with cat ear hairpins bowed slightly to him, and another cat girl in black maid outfits would hold the two of them. Lead to an empty table.
The two each ordered a cup of coffee, and Ye Hexu ordered some desserts. The cat mother took the menu and walked to the counter.
"Why do you say that my chances are small?" Shen Xin asked back.
"Because your opponent in the'Newcomer Award' is me... and Su Han and Xiao Tiao Tiao." Ye Hexu said with a smile.
"I know you are great, but doesn't that mean I have no chance?" Shen Xin puzzled.
"Of course you have a chance, but..." Ye Hexu rubbed his hands and thought for a while, "You know, what is missing in "Y’s" compared with our comics?"
"The market?"
Ye Hexu shook his head, "The market is the foundation, but for any comic award, the final prize is resources." Ye Hexu said earnestly.
