Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

"The real world view of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" is revealed for the first time! This world of immortals and Buddhas is alive!"

"The strange gods and Buddhas all over the sky, the crazy truth... "Dao Wei Yi Xian" takes you into a completely different world of cultivating immortals!"

"Dao Wei Yi Xian has been the most popular for two consecutive months! The number of online digital subscriptions has exceeded 50 million! The sales of the single volume has exceeded one million copies! It may become the third super popular and super long comic after "True Dragon God Selection"!"

"A personal interview with the genius cartoonist Qingshan! Take you into the world of this genius!"

...

Yang Shuzhun looked at the push news of the official website of the comic world in the tablet in front of him with some numbness.

Seven out of ten were about Lin Qingshan and his "Dao Wei Yi Xian", and the official even invited Lin Qingshan to do a personal interview.

This person whom he regarded as the biggest competitor, he originally thought he would win.

But I didn't expect...

"Why is it like this? What's wrong?"

Yang Shuzhun bit his lip and said puzzledly, "I have walked for so long for this day and made so much effort, why... in the end I am still not as good as you!"

He looked at the heartless and optimistic Lin Qingshan on the personal interview push, and he was really jealous.

In his opinion, Lin Qingshan is a true genius, the kind that is born with it.

He used to be the youngest double-degree doctor, and now that he has become a cartoonist, he has also shown a very frightening talent.

"Edgewalker" has a unique cyberpunk theme and prosthetic settings, "Flame Fist" has a completely collapsed order and a very infectious plot, and "Chainsaw Man"... has been restrained for commercialization, but it still can't hide Lin Qingshan's talent.

Including other works, "Goodbye Eri", "Parasyte", "Whirlpool", "Kill! Red Eyes", "Magic City Ghoul"...all of them seem to be Lin Qingshan who can easily do things that others have to do their best to do with just a little effort.

Before this, comic fans actually thought that Yang Shuzhun was also a genius.

He was an excellent student since childhood, and he was admitted to the top domestic university, Imperial Capital University, with excellent grades, and then went abroad to study.

He came back to work as an assistant to a famous cartoonist and practiced his painting skills and narrative, and then became a professional cartoonist.

Although his performance in the Newcomer Grand Prix was not very good, it was mainly because Lin Qingshan was there at the time.

So comic fans think that if Lin Qingshan hadn't been there, Yang Shuzhun would have been the newcomer king of that comic newcomer grand prize.

Then his second comic work "God Clan" became a hit and became a phenomenal fantasy boy comic work.

However, no one knows that "God Clan" was not drawn casually by him.

He didn't draw the finished draft directly, and then obtained the qualification for weekly serialization in the comic world.

When he drew "God Clan", he wasted six openings!

At the beginning, he thought that the main consumers of comics are still middle school students and college students, so this determined the theme of hot-blooded youth comics and the identity of the protagonist as a college student who was going to college.

Then he borrowed from the most famous foreign fantasy comic series "Harry Potter" - borrowing from its adventure mode.

He also borrowed from the theme of "Purple Air Coming from the East" that represents dreams and prototypes, and the youth's search for self-identity.

And of course, there are the twists and turns, regrettable narrative methods and plot ideas of Lin Qingshan's "Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man".

And in these six openings, he has a picture of an expedition team in the ancient dynasty discovering ancient relics belonging to the gods in the desert, and at the same time discovering the bones of the gods...

And the protagonist Yang Mingfei comes with powerful technological weapons, like a god descending to earth to solve the problem.

But he gave up after drawing all these.

So in the first episode, he drew nearly two hundred drawings.

Until the end, I drew an ordinary useless boy named Yang Mingfei, who was not good-looking and had poor grades. He had a crush on a girl for three years in high school but did not dare to confess. But one day, he unexpectedly received an admission letter from a mysterious academy, which opened the door to a new world for him...

(The original words of the interview with Nanjing University 0.0 Parallel World are changed here to the referenced works later)

So does Yang Shuzhun think he is a genius?

He may claim so to the outside world, but he never thinks he is a genius.

Compared to Lin Qingshan.

Even if he was admitted to the Imperial Capital University, which is the same top university in China as Jingfen University that Lin Qingshan was admitted to, and even went abroad to study and obtained a master's degree.

But compared with a top genius like Lin Qingshan, the gap between them is like one is an ordinary academic bully who was admitted to the top class, and the other is a top academic bully who can get the first place even in the top class.

Both are in the top class, but...the gap is too big.

It is the same in the comics.

"The Gods" is a bloody work that Yang Shuzhun prepared for a long time and learned from the strengths of many schools, which will achieve great success.

For someone like Lin Qingshan... he only needs to work a little harder to easily achieve what he has worked so hard for.

This makes Yang Shuzhun very painful.

And not only is his success not as easy as Lin Qingshan's, it can't last too long.

Just like the recent reviews of "The Gods".

"Are you serious about running away?"

"Are you really going to let the loser snatch the boss's woman? It's really unnecessary, right?"

"Escape to Japan... I can only say why not just run to Siberia?"

"It's so nonsense. It suddenly turned into a civil war plot. It's inexplicable..."

"Summon the little devil! What are you worried about now?"

…

Then Yang Shuzhun also felt like... he didn't know how to draw the next plot.

In other words, the plot was stuck, so during this period he announced a break from publication from time to time, and the plot was intermittently incoherent.

Tang Wei, who was previously in charge of comics assistant, also left. Because Yang Shuzhun had been on hiatus for a long time, during that time Tang Wei conceived his own fantasy boy comic - "Douluo Dalu". 【whee:)】

I resigned now.

Yang Shuzhun didn't get angry at Tang Wei because of this. Instead, he gave Tang Wei a chance and recommended the manuscript to the comics industry.

He found a new comic assistant.

However, due to the stuck plot, the serialization of the comic "Gods" is currently more than twice as slow as before.

Yang Shuzhun felt very painful. He had clearly thought out the general plot of the follow-up, but he didn't know how to draw the details and many transitional plots.

At this time, he saw that Lin Qingshan, a guy who was called a model worker in the industry, but was actually a genius in his eyes, had been serializing comics as if he had no worries in this regard for so many years, and he became even more envious.

"Perhaps...this is the difference between an ordinary person like me and a true genius."

Yang Shuzhun thought a little bitterly.

…

Of course, Lin Qingshan would not know about Yang Shuzhun's envy of him. If he did, he would probably be very embarrassed.

He, the copywriter, is not a real genius.

Yang Shuzhun is a genius, but geniuses are not omnipotent. Compared with cheating time travellers, they will still have troubles and sometimes lack inspiration.

Sometimes, the lack of inspiration really cannot be solved by trying hard to solve it.

Obviously, "Protoss" has become like this recently.

Yang Shuzhun still couldn't escape that fate, and Lin Qingshan suddenly planned to find a way through his [Prophet Dream (Master)] ability.

I plan to talk to him at the cartoonist gathering at the Comic Newcomer Grand Prix and help solve the problem of "Protoss".

However……

At this moment, something he didn't expect happened.

In [Prophet Dreams (Master)], in his dreams for several months during this period, what kind of parallel world did he see, such as "Gods", "Dragons", "Demons", "Dragon Boys", this otherworldly version of "Dragon" There are more than thirty versions.

but……

The endings of these works are without exception, they all end with cuts in half, suspension of publication, and unfinished endings.

All the teachers in those worlds were like this...

This feels like it is destined. No matter which parallel world, no matter what name "Dragon" is changed to, there will be no good ending.

After all...it is really impossible for a thing to have a completely opposite ending in a parallel world.

Just like Marvel's Avengers 4, in the billions of endings, Doctor Strange can see a future in which they will win, and there is only one possibility...

Perhaps in countless parallel worlds, it is really possible to find a perfect ending for "Dragon".

But Lin Qingshan has to find the only one among countless parallel worlds through [Prophet Dream (Master)].

Suddenly, he was a little confused.

So he put the matter aside for now.

Maybe... Yang Shu in this world will be luckier, but what about the only one?

…

The serialization of "The Tao Weird Immortal" continues.

In the following plot, Li Huowang successfully defeated Danyangzi in the resurrection match with the help of Bahui, and was reborn in this world.

But after being reborn, he saw everything in this world, and with Bai Lingmiao's help, he recollected it.

He only told what happened in front of Yazhimen. As for the weird gods and Buddhas behind it... he couldn't describe it.

Even when he thought of those things, he could still feel the "Bai Yujing" calling him.

Finally, he shouted out from those things in his head and said, "Da Nuo! It's called Da Nuo!"

Da Nuo?

What does this have to do with the previous Nuo opera?

However, Li Huowang couldn't tell more.

Later, the memory in his mind began to blur, but even if it was blurry, Li Huowang could still understand some of the things in it.

Zhengde Temple, which worships the flesh-and-blood Buddha, Anci'an, which is dirty, lazy and greedy, Zuowangdao, who plays tricks on people and gods, and the dancing master who trades human lives.

The magical powers used by everyone in this place are weird.

Not to mention the evil spirits such as Mr. You, Grandma and the God of Joy on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Before, Li Huowang thought he had traveled to a world that should have been so chaotic.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. The most fundamental reason is that there is something wrong with the world itself.

It was as sick as himself, otherwise it shouldn't be like this, it should be... more normal.

"What is going on in this world?"

Li Huowang said in confusion, "It's called Da Nuo? Does it have anything to do with those who dance Nuo opera? According to what Lu Zhuangyuan said before, Nuo opera is a very ancient opera and the ancestor of other operas."

"It sounds like those Nuo opera performers are worshiping Da Nuo, but..."

Later, Li Huowang no longer insisted on the relationship between Nuo and Nuo opera.

However, comic fans became curious. Is this world crazy?

So this world was originally normal? It just became so crazy because of some unexpected events?

At that time, many comic fans discussed this matter online.

"Is it ruled by evil forces?"

"Is it really like what some big guys said at the beginning, like the IF line of "Purple Air Coming from the East", where the evil cultivators won the final battle and turned into this weird appearance?"

"Not necessarily... I feel that these gods and Buddhas are not all bad, for example, the Bodhisattva worshipped by Anci Temple should be good."

"That's not necessarily true. It can only be said that Master Jingxin and others used it in the right way, but who can be sure that the Bodhisattva Buddha in charge of decay is good?"

"Yes, this is not necessarily good. Forget it, I won't guess. Guessing the thinking of Qingshan Laoze... I'm not a mental patient! I can't guess at all!"

"Those who guessed it are advised to consciously apply for a mental hospital advanced study class. Maybe you can become a genius like Qingshan Laoze!"

"Fuck advanced study class!"

...

After recalling some things in Baiyujing, Li Huowang didn't care for it for the time being.

Then he took a group of junior brothers and sisters and prepared to send them home.

And naturally on the way, they came to Houshu again.

On the way into a village, Bai Lingmiao happened to notice that someone in the village was possessed by evil spirits, so he went up to help and get some rewards. On the way, he met a witch named Cui Xiangu.

However, there was no conflict between the two sides, but they just let it go peacefully.

After leaving the village, Gao Zhijian, the fool in Li Huowang's group, seemed to have thought of something, but he was still a fool and couldn't remember anything.

Later, he remembered something intermittently, but he still stuttered and looked stupid.

"I... I... I might... be... Huang..."

He believed in Li Huowang very much and said something.

But later he seemed a little embarrassed, and Li Huowang didn't hear clearly that he said he was "Huang what".

They set out on the journey again.

But unexpectedly, Li Huowang was soon regarded as a spy of the enemy country because of the military sword from the Siqi You family on his body.

Then they were plotted against by soldiers and bandits, but Li Huowang was very powerful, so of course he would not be defeated like this.

There was also Chun Xiaoman who had already mastered the swordsmanship, and Bai Lingmiao who was protected by two gods.

The group of people killed all the soldiers and bandits directly.

However, they discovered the evil deeds of the soldiers and bandits, and Lv Zhuangyuan and his group who had been traveling with them before were also rescued.

Then they continued on their way.
