Chapter 364: Editor-in-Chief’s Meditation

"Al! Alphonse! Damn...it shouldn't be like this! The bastard...was snatched away by him!"

A teenager who lost his left leg lay on the ground, looked at the magic circle drawn on the ground, and let out an angry roar.

As soon as the screen turns, there is a double-page spread, with a magic circle drawn on it - through the setting, Shang Haozhi knows that this kind of magic circle is called "refined formation" - gears and steel, and a burly armored man and a teenager.

This page gives background.

There is an array, which means it is a different world, and there are gears, which means it is not the Middle Ages, and the two people in the picture, needless to say, are the two protagonists of the story.

After turning this page, the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially begins.

The two protagonists come to a small town and hear that the leader of the Sun Cult can create "miracles". The protagonist Edward scoffs at this, but accidentally finds out that the leader can bring back the girl Rosanne's boyfriend from the dead.

Edward and his younger brother Al told Roseanne that he was an atheist and believed that scientists, in a sense, were the closest to God, and Roseanne didn't believe him at all.

At the same time, the subordinates of the leader also found out the arrival of Edward, a national alchemist.

After the two sides met, the subordinate of the leader swung a gun and knocked off Al's helmet, and other subordinates also stopped Edward.

Just when the subordinate was holding a pistol and wanted to kill Edward, Al, whose helmet had just been knocked off, grabbed his hand.

"What!"

Al is headless, but still able to move, which in itself is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What's even more frightening is that the inside of the armor is so dark that no blood can be seen at all.

While he was in a trance, Al hit him in the face with a real iron fist.

Then, Edward and Al finally meet the leader.

Edward used words to provoke the leader, but the leader was really deceived.

Luo Shan, who was hiding in the armor, not only heard the ambition of the leader, but also knew his attitude towards believers.

"...Yeah! I deceived those idiot believers!"

Luo Shan questioned the leader, but the leader took out the "killer card" of "resurrecting lovers".

In the end, Luo Shan chose to give up resistance and submit to the leader.

"I'm sorry, even if he lied to me, I can only do this. The only person I can rely on is him..."

Helplessness and compromise are vividly reflected in Luo Shan.

She knew that the leader was lying to her, but so what? In order to revive her lover, she can only believe in the leader.

The leader was furious with Edward and Al, and immediately released the synthetic beast to fight Edward to the death.

After a few rounds, the synthetic beast bit Edward's arm, but Edward was not injured.

"See Luo Shan clearly." Edward kicked off the synthetic beast, tore off his tattered coat, and his right arm appeared in the sight of the leader and Luo Shan, "This is human body refining, which violates the 'Domain of God' price!"

Shang Haozhi finished the first chapter in one breath, and before he even had time to catch his breath, he couldn't wait to bring the second and third chapters.

Edward defeated the leader, and at the same time, Roseanne also learned that it is impossible to train the human body.

In an instant, the spiritual pillar supporting her collapsed.

"Tell me... From now on, what will I rely on to survive?" Luo Shan burst into tears.

Sometimes people are very strong. They know that the hope is slim, but as long as there is one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth of hope, they will grit their teeth and persevere.

People are very fragile sometimes. When hope is gone, the whole person may collapse in an instant.

"That's something you have to consider. Don't you have strong feet? In the future, rely on them to walk."

Edward and Al left Rosanne with these words as they passed by.

The story doesn't end there.

When the leader returned to the church in a hurry, he saw a woman and a fat man waiting for him in the church. The synthetic beast has been eaten by the big fat man.

"Cyborg……"

Shang Haozhi took out the character design,

After careful inspection, they finally found these two people.

The woman is called Rust, the fat man is called Gratoni, and the fake "Philosophy's Stone" in the hands of the leader was given by these two people...

The story ends after Gratoni eats the leader, leaving a lot of doubts at the same time.

What is the Philosopher's Stone? Why are there fake ones? What are the identities of these two people?

These doubts made Shang Haozhi eager to know the next plot.

He closed his eyes, but his brows did not relax, he just folded his arms and his eyes fell on him.

After reading these three episodes, his most intuitive idea is to finish it all in one go.

If other comics tell a story in the first chapter and leave clues at the end to attract readers to continue reading, then this comic uses three chapters to achieve this.

Is it bloated?

No, on the contrary, the story is very compact, the plot and storyboard are very exciting, firmly attracting his energy.

There is only one reason why it takes three chapters to tell a story, and that is to explain the setting of the manga.

Alchemy, equivalent exchange, human body refining, Philosopher's Stone, synthetic beast, national alchemist and other settings are all mentioned, and at the same time, the title of the book is also explained-because Edward installed steel The prosthetic "mechanical armor".

There is no big setting that appears, as far as he knows, there is only "the door of truth".

Is there a lot of space to express these settings through the content of the three chapters?

In fact, there are not many, but this kind of practice is not very common.

However, Shang Haozhi understands Shen Xin's approach. The plot of this book has a large degree and needs to be set and advanced. If it is not set in this way, the plot may not be able to move forward.

But it is divided into three chapters, which is too long. It is really a waste that the first three most critical chapters of a book are all about the same thing.

compressed content?

Isn't it already very compact, how can it be possible to compress the plot?

After thinking about it, Shang Haozhi didn't think of a suitable solution.

The deputy editor-in-chief Zeng Yue leaned over and tapped the table twice, "Old Shang, let me take a look... I haven't looked yet?"

Shang Haozhi handed the set and setting to Zeng Yuehou, and continued to think about the solution.

Wang Wenhong glanced at Shang Haozhi secretly, seeing that he was silent, he secretly sighed.

Shen Xin told Wang Wenhong to mention to Shang Haozhi that it is not the best opportunity for the synchronous serialization in District 11, but it is impossible for him not to mention it.

If it is too late, it will be too late when the publication time of "Steel Refining" is confirmed.

After much thought, Wang Wenhong still decided to stand up from his seat and come to Shang Haozhi, "Mr. Shang, I have something to say to you."

"Um?"

Shang Haozhi looked up at Wang Wenhong.

"It's not appropriate to speak here." Wang Wenhong said in a low voice.

Shang Haozhi nodded and stood up, "Then shall we go to the meeting room?"

Wang Wenhong followed Shang Haozhi into the conference room, and closed the door behind his backhand.

"What's up?"

"That's right. Teacher Shen wants me to ask, is there any hope for this comic to be serialized in District 11?"

"Huh? Area 11?"

Shang Haozhi was taken aback for a moment, and "Young Leap" instantly came to mind.

"Soul of Chess" is also serialized simultaneously on "Youth Leap", opening up a small market in District 11 for "ComicFuture". The quality of "Steel Refining" is also very high. Is there a chance?

If "ComicFuture" wants to go out of China, it must have a blockbuster product. The last one was "Soul of Chess", will this one be "Smelting Steel"?

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin, thinking whether "Smelting Steel" had a chance to go out of China.
