Chen Weixian naturally knew about Son Goku, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

The monkey with a stick that can grow bigger, smaller, thicker, and thinner.

Looking at the first page, a little boy with an afro and a long tail behind him, Chen Weixian couldn't help but wonder: Could this be Son Goku?

Turning to the next page again, I saw the little boy throwing a tree stump high up in the yard of his home, and then splitting it into firewood with three punches and two kicks.

When he returned home, he bowed to a glass ball and muttered, "Grandpa, I'm going hunting!"

Chen Weixian has been an editor for almost three years now. When he looks at comics, he no longer simply reads the story as before, but unconsciously analyzes the information revealed by the author in the comics.

For example, the first three pages of the comic revealed a lot of information. The little boy is good at martial arts, an orphan, and has a simple and kind personality. The glass ball is probably the name of the comic, Dragon Ball.

And this little boy is probably the Monkey King in the title of the first episode.

According to the routine of most Hong Kong comics nowadays, the villain should come to snatch the Dragon Ball next!

However, in the next picture, the picture changes and a fashionable girl appears, with a futuristic car behind her.

Although Li Wannian likes the comic "Dragon Ball" very much, there are many things he wants to complain about it.

Obviously, this is a world where technology has developed to the point where space capsules can be made, but cars, airplanes, and telephones are still things from the 1980s.

This is too inconsistent for someone who has experienced the intelligent era!

Therefore, when drawing "Dragon Ball", Li Wannian modified many of the modern items in it.

For example, the entire front of the car is wrapped in silver-white iron sheets, and the body is like a bullet, full of science fiction.

Chen Weixian fell in love with the car at first sight. The car can be made like this!

When he saw this scene, Chen Weixian was even more surprised. He originally thought that this would be an ancient story, but he didn't expect that it would happen in the future!

Then he saw the girl took out a glass-like brick, on which there was a map, and it could be zoomed in and out with just two fingers.

Needless to say, this girl must be Bulma in the title. As for the thing in her hand, although Chen Weixian had never seen a smartphone, he could tell at a glance that it should be a radar.

Then the camera switched to Sun Wukong, who was at home in the forest and easily caught a fish bigger than himself.

Then he saw him dragging the fish home, but he had a car accident with Bulma who was driving on the road.

Angry Wukong thought Bulma was a monster who wanted to steal his fish, so he lifted the car and threw it to the ground.

At this time, Bulma also took out a pistol and shot Sun Wukong in the head, but Sun Wukong only had a headache and the bullet didn't even break the defense.

Seeing this, Chen Weixian was shocked, but then he thought, he is Sun Wukong, this is reasonable, after all, whose Sun Wukong will be killed by a gun?

Afterwards, after a verbal negotiation, the misunderstanding between the two was resolved, and they exchanged names with each other.

Sure enough, one is Sun Wukong and the other is Bulma.

Then Sun Wukong invited Bulma to his home and let Bulma see the dragon ball.

Afterwards, through Bulma's introduction, it turned out that there were seven such dragon balls. After collecting them, you can summon the dragon, and the dragon can satisfy anyone's wish.

Seeing this, I thought in my heart: Isn't this the Aladdin's lamp in "One Thousand and One Nights" divided into seven dragon balls?

As a relic of his grandfather, Sun Wukong certainly couldn't give the dragon ball to Bulma, so Bulma tricked Sun Wukong into searching with her in a few words.

In this way, the two embarked on a journey to find the dragon ball together.

Although the comics that followed also showed the concept of space capsules and Sun Wukong defeating a pterosaur, Chen Weixian fell silent after reading the entire comic.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

After reading this comic, Chen Weixian felt that the whole story was a bit flat, and it was like playing house, and there was no excitement at all like the first episode of "Bleach".

"How do you feel?"

Editor-in-Chief Yang asked when Chen Weixian finished reading the comic.

"This comic... seems to be quite mediocre!"

Chen Weixian didn't know what Editor-in-Chief Yang meant, so he tried to answer carefully.

After hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Yang didn't comment much, but just said: "You go back and get busy first!"

After Chen Weixian left, Editor Yang sighed.

The last bit of hope was also shattered.

As Li Wannian's most loyal reader, he naturally had a fan filter, and still thought that this comic was not interesting enough. How could such a comic achieve the same results as "Bleach"?

Alas, it seems that I have to bear this pot!

At this time, he could already think of the messages about himself.

"Wansui's work is a treasure trove in other people's hands, but it flopped in your hands. Whose fault is it?"

With mixed feelings, Chen Weixian returned to his desk.

At this time, his mind was still full of thoughts about "Dragon Ball".

He didn't understand why Li Wannian would create such a comic?

Intercept some details of Journey to the West, such as: Sun Wukong's identity, holding the golden hoop, etc.;

With a sci-fi setting, various sci-fi props such as cars, Dragon Ball radar, etc.;

Add a routine similar to "Bleach", through the encounter between the male and female protagonists, the male protagonist's current life changes, entering a new world, etc.

Although there is only one episode at present, it is hard to see the direction of the story, but with "Bleach" as a precedent, why does Li Wannian still want to create such a stitched-together comic?

"Damn, is it true?"

"Look, "Bleach" is really on hiatus!"

Just as Chen Weixian was thinking, the exclamation from his colleague at the next table woke him up.

"What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you read the latest "Second Dimension Magazine" today?"

"Well, I just came and didn't have time!"

In the Second Dimension Magazine, there are the most complete second-dimensional magazines, and the timeliness is also the most timely. Every time the printing factory prints them out, they will send some to the magazine and put them in the public reading room.

A colleague handed the latest issue of "2D Youth Weekly" to Chen Weixian, and Chen Weixian took it, which happened to be the last page of the latest episode of "Bleach".

It said:

In order to better draw the next work of "Bleach", I will prepare to take a break for a while to accumulate materials. However, in the next issue of "2D Youth Weekly", I will launch a new work to replace "Bleach". I hope everyone will like it! ——Long live.

"Do you know what Long Live's new comic is?"

"I heard that it doesn't have a good reputation!"

The colleagues on the side were still chatting, but Chen Weixian was sweating.

He had been wondering which work this new comic was going to replace, but he never thought it would be "Bleach". Isn't this cutting down his most profitable cash cow?

Li Wannian, what do you want to do?
