Chapter 266 Joining Jiajing

On October 20th, the 18th Comic Ceremony was held as scheduled. "Hunting Abyss" won the "Best Long Comic Award of the Year" with a slight advantage, but this was also the only award that "ic future" won.

Whether the magazine is happy or not, "ic future" is not the biggest winner of the comic festival.

"manga fly" won the Newcomer Award, Best Adaptation Award and Best Foreign Comic Award.

Among them, "Slam Dunk" beat other cartoons in the selection of the best cartoonist and won the award. The popularity of "Slam Dunk" even surpassed "Hunting Abyss" before October, which also made the gold content of this year's best long-form comic award questionable.

Ye Hexu didn't take it seriously, but he also knew that the gold content of this year's competition was not very high, so after leaving the live broadcast hall and accepting the media before handing over the room, Ye Hexu threw the trophy into the drawer.

Regardless of public opinion, the magazine conducted two special reports on Ye Hexu, and stamped the words "Best Long-form Comic Award of the Year" on the girdle of the next volume.

"Hunting Abyss" is still ranked first in the small book, behind it, the battle between "Soul of Chess" and "Legend of the Dragon King" is already at a fever pitch.

Xiao Liang was invited to play four-faced chess with the sponsor in the Go exchange competition, that is, to play chess with four people at the same time.

With Xiaoliang's chess skills, it is not difficult to win four sponsors. However, these people have paid a lot of money for the organization of the game, and there will be places in the future to rely on these people. Therefore, for the convenience of holding, Xiao Liang wanted to deliberately lose to the sponsor.

Originally, Xiao Liang didn't care about it, but the sponsor showed contempt for Go, which made Xiao Liang feel grudges.

On the other hand, Xiaoguang also started to learn how to play chess in the chess club.

"What is draw? Is it the same as chess?"

After all, there are not many readers who really understand Go, so after seeing the appearance of "draw", some people raised doubts.

"You didn't read the manga carefully, did you? It's all written on it?"

"I just can't understand it. Is there anyone who understands Go? Explain it a little bit."

It took more than a dozen floors in a row before someone gave an explanation.

"Go has a total of 19 lines, 19 verticals, and a total of 361 intersections between horizontal and vertical. The rule of Go is that black pieces are placed first. Therefore, if the game record is filled, then there will be 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces on the board. In this case, black pieces have an advantage. In modern games, after the end of go, black pieces will be deducted 5 and a half, so there will be no draw.

"The manga gives a handicap, and there are no specific rules. Therefore, in this case, there is a possibility of a draw. You see, in the first half of this episode, Xiao Liang and the four of them played handicap. Chess. However, if you deliberately play tie chess, you need a strong calculation ability, and the opponent has to calculate every move, so it will be very tiring to play."

"Is it so difficult?"

"Yes, this is equivalent to letting a person who is very accurate in free throws intentionally miss free throws, and he can't make three shots. For them, it is more difficult to miss a free throw than to make a free throw. The same is true for chess. Every move must be measured. .”

"If Xiaoguang knows how to play chess, then his calculation ability is very strong."

"That's right, "Soul of Chess" is really getting more and more exciting. At first I thought it was an invincible novel, but now it seems that my thoughts at that time were really superficial."

"Actually, I'm more curious about Xiaoliang's side.

Will he win those sponsors? "

"I don't know, but it is this kind of uncertainty that makes "Soul of Chess" more interesting."

...

The ratings of "Soul of Chess" animation is gradually rising, and after three or four episodes, it has a tendency to break through 8%, and the comics of "Soul of Chess" are getting more and more exciting, and the popularity is gradually rising.

Although the rankings of "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Soul of Chess" have not changed, the number of votes between the two comics is less than 10.

At present, not only "The Legend of the Dragon King", but even other cartoonists are also aware that "Soul of Chess" is about to exert its strength.

In the 72nd chapter "Four People", Xiao Liang played one against four, and finally played a draw with two of them. The outcome of the remaining two will not be announced until the next chapter; A tie between the two enemies.

The two people, at the same time, completed the draw with their opponents in a tacit understanding.

After the publication of Chapter 73 "Perfect Coincidence", the results of the competition between Xiaoliang and the sponsor finally came to light.

One against four, draw on all sides.

At the same time, Xiaoguang was also in the chess club, one against four, and the result was three draws, and the other was one point behind.

Although Xiaoguang did not complete four draws like Xiaoliang, readers can feel his progress in Go. At the same time, coupled with Xiaoliang's outstanding performance, the popularity of this chapter has increased a lot, and the ranking of Xiaoshu It also went up to a higher level, defeating "The Legend of the Dragon King" and became the second place.

When Wang Wenhong saw Xiaoshu, he almost jumped up excitedly, but seniors like Hu Ke and Jia Hui were in the office, and their faces were not very good-looking, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only bury this matter in his heart.

After get off work, Wang Wenhong hurried to Shen Xin's studio. The moment Li Jie opened the door, Wang Wenhong got into the room like the wind.

"Mr. Shen, congratulations, the second place in the small book!" Wang Wenhong threw his briefcase on the sofa on the first floor with an excited expression on his face.

"Huh? Second place?" Li Jie was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up excitedly, "Which comic is it better? "The Legend of the Dragon King"?"

"That's right, it's 10 votes more than "The Legend of the Dragon King." Wang Wenhong chuckled, took out two pieces of paper, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's about 30 votes behind "The Hunting Abyss."

"The next chapter is beyond "Hunting Abyss"!" Gao Hang raised his fist high, still holding a needle pen in his hand.

Shen Xin stood by the fence on the second floor, smiling all over her face, and gave Wang Wenhong a thumbs up, "Don't get too excited, the comics in the future will be even more exciting——Brother Wang, "Soul of Chess" has been serialized for almost a year and a half. After the first chapter, I haven’t been in the first place again. Soon, it’s the turn of "Soul of Chess" to be the first place."

"Are you so confident about the next story?" Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"Of course it's not the next episode. In fact, the next episode is the beginning of the climax of "Soul of Chess". Brother Wang, please believe me, once the results of "Soul of Chess" stabilize, it is absolutely possible to sit in the first place for three consecutive months." Shen Xin patted her chest and said.

From the current plot to the disappearance of Zuo Wei, every episode is very exciting, which is why Shen Xin is so confident.

Of course, whether it can last for three months requires the cooperation of other people besides the wonderful story. At least, "Hunting Abyss" and "Legend of the Dragon King" should not be fooled.

"I believe you!" Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile appeared on his face.
