Chapter 267 Villains and Influences

"Hey, Xiao Wang, have you got the manuscript for the next chapter of "Soul of Chess"?"

Shang Haozhi, who was looking at the sales lists of major volumes, saw Wang Wenhong walking into the editorial office holding an envelope, and asked.

"En." Wang Wenhong responded.

"Let me take a look." Shang Haozhi stretched out his hand and said softly, "You won't learn from before, right? After a while, there was a climax, and the plot immediately became tepid. Don't waste the time when the animation is released. .The sales volume of the booklet finally increased..."

"Eh? Did it go up? How much did it go up?" Wang Wenhong asked quickly.

"Tsk, you're the one who talks too much."

"Hey, am I in a hurry?" Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose and gave a dry laugh.

"No new book was released in October, and the five volumes together are only 300,000 to 40,000 volumes. The fifth volume is slightly more, almost 100,000. After all, it has just been released. By the way, in November, the sixth volume will be released, you have to worry about it , a few bookstores run more."

"Yes, sir!" Seeing that Shang Haozhi was in a good mood, Wang Wenhong couldn't help but tease him.

"Get lost!" Shang Haozhi cursed with a smile, pulled out the manuscript, glanced at the title of Chapter 74, "Hong Xiuying? Is it a new character?"

"That's right, a chess player from the Han Kingdom." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"oh……"

Shang Haozhi nodded slightly, and continued to look down.

Xiaoguang went into the store to buy a drink, and saw a kid around his age knocked something off. Xiaoguang yelled at the child, but the other party ignored him and knocked off Xiaoguang's hand instead.

The two broke up unhappy.

Later, Xiaoguang came to a chess club run by Han people, only to discover that the kid just now was the nephew of the manager of the chess club and a student of the Han country.

Then there was another misunderstanding, which led to a quarrel. Coupled with the help of a Han countryman, the atmosphere in the chess club immediately became tense.

In the end, Xiaoguang and Hong Xiuying from Han Kingdom sat on both sides of the chessboard and decided the outcome with Go.

Seeing that the game was about to start, but the story came to an abrupt end, which was quite disappointing.

"No more?" Shang Haozhi looked up at Wang Wenhong.

"Yeah. Teacher Shen hasn't given me the rest of the manuscript, but I've read all the names behind."

"Who won?" Shang Haozhi blurted out.

Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, and just about to answer, Shang Haozhi waved his hand again.

"Let's not talk about it. With Mr. Shen's previous habits, anyone can win. Manga, there is suspense, so it will be interesting. By the way, Xiao Wang, you already know the result, but you can't say it now. Isn't it hard?" Shang Haozhi looked at Wang Wenhong with a smirk.

"..."

Wang Wenhong's face was a little dark.

He was always busy and didn't have time for this kind of thing.

Now that Shang Haozhi mentioned it, his heart suddenly seemed to be blocked by a stone.

Mr. Shang, you are so cheap.

Wang Wenhong puffed his cheeks with resentment.

After seeing the original manuscript of Chapter 74, Shang Haozhi made a conclusion that the "Soul of Chess" in this chapter will attract the attention of many readers.

It's not just because of the duel between Xiaoguang and Hong Xiuying,

This is a game between the future professional players of the two countries.

This time Han Guo played the "villain".

However, Han people have always been like this, and there is nothing too exaggerated. The booklet of "Soul of Chess" has not been released in South Korea - even if it is released, it is estimated that it will not increase sales much - it is better to design some interesting plots.

As Shang Haozhi guessed, after Chapter 74 was published, readers spontaneously had heated discussions on the story. The game between Xiaoguang and Hong Xiuying was regarded as a game between China and Han. competition.

The number of votes for "Soul of Chess" has risen again, and there is only less than ten votes behind the number of votes for "Hunting Abyss".

When Jian Xiaomei saw Xiaoshu, she couldn't sit still any longer, she left the editorial office with her handbag in her hand, and took a ride to Ye Hexu's studio.

The atmosphere in the room was very depressing, the three assistants just lowered their heads to draw, and around Ye Hexu's workbench, name and manuscript paper were scattered all over.

"What's the matter, Teacher Ye? Aren't these the sketches you drew before?" Jian Xiaomei picked up the sketches on the ground with a look of surprise.

"No...Jian Xiaomei, none of these will work, and you can't beat Teacher Shen. Within three episodes—if Teacher Shen doesn't kill himself and let Xiaoguang lose to Hong Xiuying, then, within three episodes, "Soul of Chess" is likely to surpass "Hunting Hunting" abyss"."

"what should we do?"

Jian Xiaomei believed in Ye Hexu's intuition for comics, not to mention "The Hunting Abyss" is still his work.

Since he said that "Soul of Chess" may surpass "Hunting Abyss", there should be nothing wrong.

"What else can I do? I have nothing to do now, and the recent episodes of "The Legend of the Dragon King" have not had a big climax. However, we have time to design a better name. Why don't I just sit around like this?" Ye Hexu bared his teeth He smiled and said, "One month at the latest, I can definitely think of a suitable name, so just wait slowly. Besides, the pace of "Soul of Chess" cannot always be so fast, so we have a chance."

Jian Xiaomei took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "Since you have already thought about it, please create a comic that is no less than "Soul of Chess"."

"Um."

Ye Hexu lowered his head and bent over his desk to design a new name.

Huaxia's readers were very excited for the upcoming confrontation, but Chapter 74 caused an uproar among the fans of the Han Kingdom.

"I used to think that "Soul of Chess" was pretty good. Why did a Han country student come out suddenly? The quality of our Han country people is not so bad, and we don't pick up things we drop."

"Don't they think that Huaxia Go is invincible after winning one or two small games?"

"Li Zehao is such an idiot, he lost to Zhen Xi."

"If it's Park Yong-tae, he must be tortured to death."

"Never read it again. I thought I finally found a good manga?"

"Whether you like to watch it or not, it's just a pirated version anyway, and the author doesn't get any profit."

"Hehe, it's just for his face to watch the pirated version. Let me watch other people's pirated version, but I won't watch it!"

"Hey, don't you see the group of blind people above? The conflict between Xiaoguang and Hong Xiuying is due to the language barrier."

"Put P, ​​there are still people washing the ground. Your words can explain Hong Xiuying, but can you explain the uncle in the chess club?"

"That's right, that uncle has been provoking him all the time, and the author also painted him as a fat head and big ears—that's why he's from District 11, that's why he looks like that, okay?"

"I will definitely not watch it in the future! I will not watch the animation either!"

"That's right, don't watch it! It's a loss anyway."

Many Han people complained about the latest chapter of "Soul of Chess", and many even threatened to refuse to watch the animation of "Soul of Chess".

When Long Tian heard his subordinates translate Han Chinese into Huaxia, he immediately became nervous, for fear that the ratings of "Soul of Chess" in Han would drop.

Afterwards, the ratings of the newly screened episode in Han country also came out.

Long Tian immediately found someone to translate the form into Chinese.

"The audience rating is 6.5%."

Han country's ratings were indeed affected, but the extent of the drop was completely within Long Tian's acceptable range.
