Chapter 93: Coincidence

Entering Jiman, the elements of comics are coming.

On the top of the middle aisle, there are advertisements for various comics. The signature comics of the three major magazines must be listed. In addition, there are comics published by first-class magazines such as "Man Weekly" and "Girls' Century".

The bookstore also demarcates different areas according to the type of comics, such as reasoning, blood, sports, love, fairy tales, horror and other areas.

On the sign at the entrance, Shen Xin even saw youth comics and 18X comics, but these comics are all on the third floor of Jiman Bookstore, and if you want to enter, you have to check your ID card first.

In Jiman Bookstore, Shen Xin also found "Y's".

Its location is relatively remote. After all, the good place is reserved for the signature comics of the three major magazines, and there are also some booklets imported and translated from the 11th district.

In general, the remaining volume of the "Y's" booklet is more than the few comics around, and, in this small stall, the location is relatively conspicuous, and the clerk of Jiman found a copy of Yiman from nowhere. Weaving posters, pasted on the back wall, 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 cannot be compared with the signature comics of the three major publications.

In comparison, the sales volume of "Punishment" was much better. Shen Xin only stayed for ten minutes before three people picked up the booklet of "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 "Comic Future" for 8 years, and 28 separate volumes have been published.

The story is still passionate, and the hero is the reincarnated child of the Dragon King, who was born in a small village. He never met his father, but lived with his mother. After growing up a little, the male protagonist never returned from hunting all night. When it was dawn, he wanted to go home, but found that he was already in a ferocious place full of monsters.

The male protagonist can only work hard to survive, desperately wanting to return to his hometown, and when he finally walks out of the dangerous place, he finds that the place where he lives is thousands of miles away from his hometown.

On the way back, he accidentally got news from his father...

The overall style of the manga tends to be neat and tidy, with little use of dot paper, and many scenes are supplemented with effect lines, some of which are similar to Hokage, and the style of painting fits very well 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 description of the monster brought a strong sense of impact to the audience, which is why "The Legend of the Dragon King" is so popular among readers.

What surprised Shen Xin the most in the whole comic was not Wang Yunze's artist, but his storytelling.

Being able to tell the beginning of the story clearly with just a few frames is much better than Ye Hexu, and also stronger than the current him.

The storyboard of fighting is also very smooth, and the movements of the characters are natural without the slightest sense of rigidity.

"As expected of Teacher Wang, it's amazing."

After closing "The Legend of the Dragon King", Shen Xin couldn't help sighing.

"That's right, "The Legend of the Dragon King" was the hottest manga last year, and most of the manga can't compare to him."

A voice suddenly came from Shen Xin's ear, he looked left and right subconsciously, but found that on the right, a young man also picked up "The Legend of the Dragon King".

Said he was a boy, Shen Xin judged from his height. He should be less than 1.65 meters tall, 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 four or five degrees at most, isn't this boy cold?

"By the way, Teacher Shen, aren't you in the sea of ​​clouds? Why did you come to Hongchuan?" The boy looked up at Shen Xin.

The teenager has exquisite facial features and a hearty smile,

Undoubtedly a handsome guy.

"You know me?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

"Of course, I have seen your photos at the autograph session. After all, you are a competitor, so I am very interested in you." The boy grinned.

"Adversary?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin, he didn't remember any competitive relationship between him and the boy, "Sorry, are you..."

"Hehe, I forgot to introduce myself, ahem...my name is Ye Hexu." The boy put down "The Legend of the Dragon King" and said with a smile.

Eh?

Shen Xin blinked her eyes, her mind was a little confused.

"Wait...you mean, your name is Ye Hexu?"

The boy nodded repeatedly.

"You have the same name as the author of "Hunting Abyss"?"

"...No, I am the author of "Hunting Abyss"." Ye Hexu said seriously.

Shen Xin crossed his arms and thought for a moment, it was really difficult for him to associate the little man in front of him with Ye Hexu.

Noticing Ye Hexu's lingering eyes, Shen Xin quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so young."

"I'm already 19 years old, but I'm a little shorter." Ye Hexu said dissatisfied.

Shorter...?

Shen Xin coughed dryly, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Sorry, I haven't seen your photo before."

"It's okay, I'm a low-key person, I don't care much about these things." Ye Hexu smiled, "Wait a minute."

With that said, Ye Hexu ran to the "Y's" booth, took a set of "Y's", and went to the cash register.

When the cashier saw Ye Hexu, he was extremely courteous, then turned his head to look at Shen Xin, his eyes were also very bright, and handed Ye Hexu a signature pen without hesitation.

After paying the money, Ye Hexu tore off the plastic wrap and handed "Y's" to Shen Xin.

"sign."

"You don't need it?"

"Why don't you need it? Although we are competitors, before that, I was a fan of your book."

Shen Xin couldn't tell if Ye Hexu was teasing herself or if she was serious, but Ye Hexu had already handed him the pen, so he had no choice but to write "Shen Zheng" casually.

"It would be great if "Y's" was published in "Comic Future". Everyone's starting point is the same, so it's interesting to compare." Ye Hexu put the two books under his arm, narrowing his eyes, "But from the current point of view, you The chances of winning the rookie award are too small."

"There are still a few months before the Newcomer Award, isn't it too arbitrary for you to say this?" Shen Xin asked back.

"Not at all. This is not a place to talk, why don't you find a coffee shop?" Ye Hexu pointed to the door and said.

"nearby?"

If I remember correctly, there should be a lot of themed cafes around here.

"That's right, follow me." Ye Hexu turned around and walked out the door regardless of Shen Xin's opinion.

Shen Xin touched her trouser pocket, and there was only one hundred and seventy yuan left, she sighed secretly, hoping it would not be too expensive.

Ye Hexu chose a catgirl cafe. As soon as Shen Xin entered the cafe, two girls in pink maid skirts and hairpins with cat ears bowed slightly to him, and another catgirl in black maid costume brought the two together. Get an empty table.

The two ordered a cup of coffee each, Ye Hexu ordered some desserts, and the cat girl walked to the counter with the order menu.

"Why do you say my chances are slim?" Shen Xin asked back.

"Because your opponent in the 'Newcomer Award' is me...and Su Han and Xiao Tiaotiao." Ye Hexu said with a smile.

"I know you are very good, but that doesn't mean I don't have a chance?" Shen Xin was puzzled.

"Of course you have a chance, but..." Ye Hexu rubbed his hands and thought for a moment, "Do you know what's missing in "Y's" compared to our comics?"

"market?"

Ye Hexu shook his head, "The market is the foundation, but for any comic award, it is all about resources in the end." Ye Hexu said seriously.
