Chapter 537: The Dust Settles

Readers pay attention to the comics themselves, while cartoonists pay more attention to rankings, especially after the advent of the Internet age, all domestic comics can be ranked by their popularity. This makes cartoonists not only pay attention to the ranking of serial platforms, but also care about the quality of comics on other platforms.

Although there is not a strictly positive relationship between this ranking and the quality of the work, it represents the attention of readers and, to a certain extent, the value of the work.

"Ms. Ye... "Smelting Steel" surpassed "Age of the Gods"!"

The assistant slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"I know!" Ye Hexu gritted his teeth, raised his eyebrows, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "Ms. Shen is already ahead, and I can't fall behind. In the next comic, I will also attack Mr. Shen."

"Ah?" The assistant was taken aback, and blurted out, "Are you okay?"

"..." Ye Hexu rolled his eyes, "How could it not work! Tell you, I'm serious this time. Don't forget, I only created one manga, but Mr. Shen created a few. It's like a blood manga The protagonist in the novel can evolve every time he experiences a crisis. In other words, Mr. Shen has 'evolved' several times!"

"It's also possible that 'debut is the pinnacle'." The assistant muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"No. I mean, 'You're sure to succeed'!" the assistant shouted hastily.

Ye Hexu glanced at the assistant angrily, "I'm telling you, it's impossible for me to go downhill, because I have someone I must surpass, but..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Is this duel between two cartoonists fair?

It's not fair.

Both sides have their own advantages, and "Age of the Gods" has a greater advantage, and once led by a lot.

In a disadvantaged situation, "Smelting Steel" can still be turned over, which shows that the quality of "Steel Refining" is higher than "Age of the Gods".

This high quality is not only reflected in the storyline, but also in the number of readers following this comic.

It can be said that relying on this comic, Shen Xin has established her position among readers.

To reach this level again, no matter who it is, it will be very difficult.

Ye Hexu stretched his waist, although it was difficult, he still had to try, if he didn't do it, how would he know that he couldn't do it?

With such a strong opponent, it will not be boring.

...

Seeing that "Age of the Gods" was surpassed, Wang Yunze looked a little disappointed, but also relieved.

After all, it is not a glorious thing to be surpassed by the younger generation, but the quality of "Smelting Steel" is in front of him, and any reader can see the quality of "Steel Refining", which makes him convinced.

In the past six months of "Steel Refining", there were almost no times when it was at a disadvantage, and this result alone made people sigh.

In the face of this level of "Smelting Steel", if "Age of the Gods" still has an absolute advantage, it is pure nonsense. Therefore, the ranking most of the time today does not represent the quality of the two comics, and he is well aware of this.

Because of this, he felt relieved when "Age of the Gods" was surpassed.

But it would be impossible to let him be caught without fighting back.

The success of "Steel Refining" lies in the reasonable setting, sufficient foreshadowing and operation,

But these all require space. Without the previous foreshadowing, "Steel Refining" could not have achieved its current achievements.

What's more, even "Smelting Steel" has a long period of weakness, so "Age of the Gods" is not without a chance of turning over.

Instead of focusing on "Forged Steel" and the debate, he might as well focus on "Age of the Gods".

"The Age of Punishing Gods?" Wang Yunze read it twice silently, feeling that the title he had chosen was a bit self-deprecating, "Putting Gods, let's kill Gods..."

However, today's defeat is not entirely a bad thing, he can examine his works more clearly.

Not to mention surpassing "Steel Refining", at least, surpassing "The Legend of the Dragon King" first, right?

Wang Yunze made an oath in his heart.

...

After "Smelting Steel" surpassed "Age of the Gods", the popularity once climbed upwards. In just half an hour, "Steel Refining" has already led to 30,000. This difference caught many authors by surprise.

In particular, after this day's competition, the two comics successfully widened the gap with the following comics.

"Sirius", which is currently ranked third, has a popularity gap of 800,000 with "Steel Refining".

Duan Ping shook his head again and again, feeling a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

Confused, "Sirius" was left behind by the two comics.

Is there really such a big gap between a single page of 250,000 and a single page of 120,000?

Also, what happened to "Smelting Steel"? Turn the situation around in one word? Couldn't it be because of the "new anime coming soon" news?

Duan Ping babbled twice, feeling powerless from the bottom of his heart—the gap between him and the two previous cartoonists was already huge.

...

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong looked at the computer screen nervously, and the soles of their feet involuntarily slapped the ground.

Shen Xin didn't feel anything at first, but the two of them stood on both sides of him for a long time, which made him a little nervous.

Sitting opposite him, Xi Muhan sat obediently on the chair, never taking his eyes off the screen.

The entire second floor was filled with a kind of depression.

The three assistants downstairs were equally distracted, seeming to be drawing effect lines for the sketch, or clicking on the Internet, but in fact, everyone was secretly watching every move upstairs, ready to celebrate at any time.

Since the three people's current residences have all moved downstairs, their working hours are more flexible.

For example, today, the three of them deliberately stayed and waited for the final ranking.

Liu Rui sniffed her nose suddenly, her eyes widened, and she immediately stood up.

"What's wrong?" Gao Hang looked at Liu Rui in surprise.

"It's burnt...the pot is burnt!"

"ah?"

Now that the situation in "Steel Refining" is dominant, Xi Muhan wanted to cook a few dishes to celebrate after 0 o'clock, but when cooking porridge, she went to the second floor, because she was too concerned about the ranking and forgot the porridge in the pot.

The people below were in a mess, and Xi Muhan remembered that the porridge was still boiling in the pot, and immediately stood up.

"What's wrong?" Yan Fei asked quickly.

"Porridge……"

Just now, Xi Muhan pointed downstairs when he heard "nice" in his ear, and quickly looked forward, only to see Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi hugging Shen Xin tightly, and then with a "plop", the three of them fell to the floor in unison superior.

"Brother Xin..."

Xi Muhan turned pale with shock, and quickly went around, seeing Shen Xin who was pushed down at the bottom waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, she was relieved, and then her eyes fell on the screen.

The time is 00:00, and "Steel Refining" still ranks first in the hot list.

Xi Muhan raised his brows, feeling a sweet feeling in his heart.

Shang Haozhi stood up from the ground first, turned his head, let out a long breath, and the sullenness in his heart was swept away.

No. 1 on the popularity list, is there any material reward?

No.

But it represents many meanings, strength, fame, honor, attention...

Great to have won "Age of the Gods"!

Shang Haozhi looked back at Shen Xin who was lying on the floor, and gave a thumbs up.

With a smile on his face, Shen Xin also responded with a thumbs up.
