Big Manga

The annual carnival opened smoothly. Although the Suhua Transportation Bureau has implemented stricter traffic control around Manga Island than yesterday, Manga Island is still crowded with people, and the degree of congestion is beyond imagination. Net∏∈∏∈ǎn∏∈small∏∈ says,

After breakfast, Li Qin waited on the road.

"Miss Qin!"

Not long after, she heard a voice and looked back, Hua Meng, Tomato and Xi Wenlin came from behind, each of them specially dressed up, Hua Meng even changed their hairstyle, if not because they are too familiar, Li Qin There was no way to recognize her right away.

"Why are you two here?" Li Qin looked at Tomato and Xi Wenlin strangely. She wanted to spend the first day of the carnival with Hua Meng, and there was no Tomato and Xi Wenlin in the plan.

"There is no signing event today." Tomato said: "There are so many people on the street, we are worried, so come and take a look."

Li Qin couldn't help looking at Hua Meng, and a look of embarrassment flashed across Hua Meng's face, it was obvious that the person Tomato was worried about was her. Li Qin naturally had bodyguards by her side, so her safety was generally not a problem.

"What about them? At the signing event?"

Li Qin asked curiously again, and then saw the unanimous heads of Tomatoes and the others. The signing of cartoonists is an annual practice in the carnival. It lasts for several days. A and Wang Yanmeng's signing will be arranged at Today, but Huameng and their assignments are in the next two days.

"I just went to the venue to take a look. This year's signing will be terrifying." Xi Wenlin said with some lingering fear: "The reader's line has been lined up for hundreds of meters from the door. Let me see...it won't be until six or seven in the evening today. If the show ends, then the hands will be numb!"

Signing parties can be a rare opportunity for budding cartoonists. But many veteran cartoonists are afraid of the signing meeting. Especially the signing event held by the carnival. There are too many tourists. Last year, several cartoonists stopped updating comics for a week after the carnival-the reason was that they would hurt their hands at the signing.

Signing non-stop, signing for a whole day at a time, seems easy, but it is actually quite troublesome manual work. Xi Wenlin also had a feeling of fear about this event, but Li Qin didn't feel it. It didn't matter how lively the signing was, she wasn't interested in it.

It should be said that the autograph signing will be more lively, but it will be better. Li Qin is looking forward to it, so that there will be fewer people in other places.

But her expectations were soon dashed. Every corner of Manga Island seemed to be full of people, and it was even more difficult to walk on the streets. She walked half an hour on a street and didn't get halfway there, and the summer sun was extremely hot.

"It's too hot, sister Qin, take a break!"

The temperature of the sun made Hua Meng unbearable,

There was a tree next to it, Hua Meng hurriedly asked Li Qin to stop and rest. In fact, they can only stop to hide from the sun under the shade of trees, and the seats with parasols on the street have long been occupied by other people.

"I'm going to buy a drink."

Tomato took the initiative to buy a cold drink from the stall next to him. When he was checking out, he noticed that a game store opposite was very lively. Many people stayed outside: "What's going on there?"

"Huh? Over there, that's a game trial." The waiter at the stall was a part-time female college student. She put the cold drink in a bag and handed it to Tomato, saying, "It seems to be Teacher He Xi's new game. The game store on the street can try it early in the morning. If you are interested, turn left at the intersection ahead for 100 meters , there was a game press conference there, and it is said that Teacher He Xi personally presided over it."

She smiled: "But it's probably going to be very crowded there,"

Tomato opened his eyes wide in surprise: "New game!? What kind of game?"

"I only know that it's a text adventure game, and I don't know the specifics..." The female college student shook her head and said, "I only found out about this after listening to the guests. They seem to be talking about a story about a girls' school."

"Girls' school?"

Tomato looked stunned, what kind of game is this? But whatever it is, Tomato has a strong interest in text adventure games. Teacher He Xi hasn't made this kind of game for more than a year. His games are always of high quality. This game is definitely not to be missed! !

"Go buy the game later." Tomato returned to the resting place with excitement. After talking about this, he couldn't wait to propose: "Shall we try the game? If it's fun, buy it."

He pointed to the game store opposite: "Although there is a queue, there are many game stores, and the queue is very fast."

"I don't buy games." Li Qin is not interested in games. She came out to buy things that the old lady would like, but the old lady definitely doesn't know how to play games.

Hua Meng usually doesn't play games, she said with a smile: "If you are interested, go and have a look, I will accompany Sister Qin to continue shopping."

She paused, and then added: "There are too many things to buy at the carnival, "Anna", "Wine of Eternal Life", "Light Music Girl", "Lelouch of the Rebellion"...just the peripherals and accessories of these animations. The DVD is enough for us to spend a day."

Hua Meng thought about it carefully, she also had a lot of things to buy, even more than Li Qin, and she really didn't have the energy to go to other places.

"I think it's very difficult to buy everything." Xi Wenlin interjected at this moment: "Most shops have to queue up, and it's troublesome to choose, why don't we act separately!"

He noticed that although there were a lot of tourists in Manga Island, the order was not as bad as imagined. There were college students and Phoenix company staff maintaining order on the street at intervals, and there were even some policemen standing guard. He and Tomato didn’t need Has been guarding Huameng two people.

Xi Wenlin explained to Tomato that he felt that it was best to act separately. Carnival is an annual shopping carnival, and it is the best opportunity to collect He Xi's works from the past year.

However, the number of He Xi's works last year broke the previous year's record. The precious collections of different works are scattered among many shops. It is difficult for one person to buy everything in one day. It is more convenient to divide into two teams.

Li Qin and Hua Meng bought part, and handed over the rest to Xi Wenlin and Tomato, so that the work could be completed in one day.

"I think that's fine too."

Li Qinǎn nodded in agreement.

Tomato hesitated for a moment, and considering that he would have more time to look at games and other things after separation, it was best to agree.

The group discussed for a while. In the end, it was decided that Li Qin and Hua Meng would buy "Anna", "Light Music Girl" and souvenirs other than animation. Tomatoes are in charge of DVDs, games and comics surrounding more popular works such as "Wine of Eternal Life", "Mobile Suit Gundam 00", and "Lelouch the Rebellion".

The work of the two men is obviously heavier. They are responsible for popular works. In fact, "Anna" is also quite popular, and he is still worried about handing it over to two women, but Hua Meng heard that "Angel" also participated in the carnival, and wanted to go to the event site of "Anna".

Tomato agreed: "Then let's go and watch the game first."

After resting for a few minutes, he led Xi Wenlin happily to the game store. Xi Wenlin was also very interested in the new game.

"Why do men like playing games so much?" Watching them leave, Hua Meng sighed, "Mr. He Xi's games are fun, but I'm not used to staring at the computer for a long time. It's better to look forward to his games being animated." .”

Li Qin nodded, after "Anna" was successfully animated, Meng Huo's future adaptation of games into animations has already become a standard process. Like Hua Meng, she doesn't want to play games, but she still has high expectations for animations.

The two of them rested enough, and they also left the shade.

"But Sister Qin..." On the way, Hua Meng said without doubt: "Isn't it easy for you to buy something? Just tell Teacher He Xi, if there is anything you can't buy, why bother running out by yourself so hard."

Li Qin said with a smile: "After all, the feeling of buying by myself is different, and the meaning is also different."

Although Meng Huo did say that she didn't have to do this. But Li Qin felt that she didn't buy it with her own hands, and it seemed meaningless to hand it over to the old lady. This is her personal psychology. And she felt that it was a rare opportunity to encounter this kind of scene in a year, so it would be good to join in the fun.

"If I were you, Sister Qin, I would ask Teacher He Xi to buy things for me, and I would use today to go to the concert and the amusement park by myself..." Hua Meng said with some regret. In only one day, she felt that Li Qinhua was watching Shows and amusement parks would be better.

These places are the busiest, especially the seiyuu performances during the carnival, where Xia Chuanzhen and Shen Jie will appear, which is more luxurious than the usual star concerts. Hua Meng really wanted to go and see it, but unfortunately those venues were surrounded as usual, and tickets were hard to come by.

It would be great if Li Qin had this idea, maybe Hua Meng could ask Meng Huo to help her prepare tickets.

"There is still a chance in the future..." Li Qin said with a smile, then she stopped suddenly, turned her gaze to a nearby shop, and looked at a clerk outside the shop in a daze: "Isn't this child..."

"What's wrong?" Hua Meng looked over strangely.

Li Qin didn't answer, but walked over slowly, and asked the clerk, "Are you Liu Yi?...Do you still know Auntie?"

It was Liu Yi who was setting up a stall outside the door to help sell popular products. He looked up at Li Qin. He was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized, his expression became tense: "Ah, aunt...why are you here?"

"I'm here to buy something." Li Qin said with a smile.

Liu Yi became even more nervous: "Do you need anything? I'll buy it for you!"

"Hey, Liu Yi, what are you doing!" At this moment, a loud shout came from the store, and a middle-aged man came out, glaring at Liu Yi: "Don't chat, hurry up and work."

But when the store manager saw Li Qin, he was suddenly taken aback, thinking to himself, why does this look familiar. Qin Ya brought Li Qin here before, and in fact, many shops in Manga Island have an impression of Li Qin.

"The store manager." Liu Yi immediately leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

"What, she is He, He..." The store manager was taken aback, and immediately covered his mouth. He couldn't call out the name of 'Teacher He Xi' on this occasion, otherwise it would definitely cause trouble for Li Qin.

The store manager's attitude changed drastically, he greeted him enthusiastically, stretched out his hand to let the people around him get out of the way, and said, "Madam, if you want anything, come in and take a look."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, but Hua Meng pulled her in with a happy face. Of course she would not miss such a good opportunity, and soon finished the whole store with the company of the store manager. Unfortunately, she only bought There are several dolls*dolls of "Light Tone Girl".

"I'm sorry, I only have these here, which are not available in other stores..." Seeing Li Qin's presence, the store manager did not hide it, and explained: "During the carnival, we supply limited types, everyone They are sold separately, and tourists can also disperse."

Phoenix Company does not provide them with all types of supplies, but this is also to prevent one company from dominating. In case there is a store that can provide all the good things, tourists will have to run to it, and this store can also form a separate influence.

But this is an act that offends all the businesses around. Manga Island has a tacit understanding that once the carnival comes, the shops will reduce competition and share resources with each other. In this way, no one will suffer. Even if the carnival's strong flow of people is shared, each family can make a lot of money.

In recent years, the commercial income of Manga Island has been increasing, and the daily revenue of ordinary shops is no lower than that of the commercial district of Suhua City, and the carnival is an annual carnival. In just a few days, These stores can earn more than the usual two months of income.

The businesses here are doing well, so they naturally have a certain degree of respect for Phoenix Company - as He Xi's mother, Li Qin also received a warm welcome. Even at the time of checkout, the store manager refused to collect money.

"How could there be us without Teacher He Xi, madam, you still..."

"He is him, I am me, I let you accept it and you accept it!"

However, Li Qin insisted on asking the store manager to accept the money. The store manager felt a headache, but when he saw Li Qin and Hua Meng preparing to leave, he suddenly moved his head again, and quickly said to Liu Yi outside: "Liu Yi , you stop working, you accompany Madam to other shops to have a look..."

He asked Liu Yi to take Li Qin to go shopping elsewhere. Li Qin and Hua Meng stopped and looked at Liu Yi. It would be much more convenient to have a familiar person lead the way.

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment: "This...but my job..."

"It's okay, I'll do it!" The store manager walked over with a smile and said to him, "You can take your wife and come back when you're done."

Liu Yi nodded. After returning to the store to change his clothes, he walked up to Li Qin and the two of them: "Auntie, what do you want to buy? I'll show you the way."

Li Qin and Hua Meng told him what they wanted to buy, and Liu Yi naturally knew exactly where to buy it. He had lived in the university city for several years, and he was familiar with Manga Island too. And just a few days ago, the students who came to the carnival to help quietly produced "Carnival Raiders".

Liu Yi remembers clearly where there are good things and when there are activities that cannot be missed. Under his leadership, Li Qin successfully completed a day's shopping. (To be continued..)
