Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

After all, before this, Lin Qingshan had heard that "Clan of Gods" was going to be cut in half several times.

If a comic book is cut in half, it will definitely not happen suddenly.

Prior to this, the massive loss of popularity of that work, as well as the negative reviews from dissatisfied comic fans, were all precursors before it was cut in half.

There is no doubt that "Protoss" has lost all the reputation it had accumulated in the past six to seven years in more than a year.

Therefore, it is difficult to establish an excellent reputation for a work, and it takes several years, even more than ten years.

But it is very easy to knock them down. It only takes a year, or even less than a year, and a few words to knock them all down.

For example, Yuta Akumi, who made this call, created "Jujutsu Kaiba" in his previous life. Before Chapter 261, the reputation of his work itself and the comic author were excellent.

After Gojo Satoru was cut in half like a clown, the reputation took a turn for the worse.

The same is true for Lin Qingshan's previous life's "Gods" parallel world version "Dragon". After the third part, the reputation plummeted.

Until he traveled to this world, "Dragon" and its author were also criticized.

But he didn't expect that when he came to this world, the "Gods" he met would also end up like this.

Moreover, the "God Clan" in this world seems to be a little more miserable than the "Dragon Clan" in his previous life, because he was cut in half...

There is no sequel to "Dragon", mainly because the author doesn't want to write it anymore. There has been a break of four years since the fifth part and there is still no follow-up.

It can be said that he still retains some dignity.

But the "God Clan" in this world is different. He was cut in half and forced.

That seems a bit miserable.

It was different from Yuta Akumi who looked a little gloating on the phone at the moment.

"well……"

Lin Qingshan sighed.

He still doesn't want to see the current situation. How much he hopes that the "Protoss" in the parallel world can have a perfect ending.

After all, he was once a fan and liked the story very much.

He even thought about whether he should draw a "Dragon" comic in this world and share it with the comic fans in this world.

But later when he saw Yang Shuzhun's drawing, he no longer had this idea.

However, he still hopes that "Protoss" can have a good ending.

Unfortunately, the parallel world is not a completely fictional world.

Although "Gods" is a modified version of the parallel world comic, it has basically gone through the path that "Dragon" should take.

Naturally, it was inevitable that we would end up like this.

But he thought about it, and first said to Akumi Yuta on the other side of the phone, "Okay, Yuta, I understand. I have something to call, so I'll hang up first."

"OK."

Akumi Yuta just came over to share the fun he just heard. Now that he heard what Lin Qingshan said, he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

But then he thought of a very good plot because of this interesting talk about "cutting in half".

Later in the comics, in the final battle between Rangmian Sunuo and Gojo Satoru, Rangmian Sunuo, the strongest magician in history, was killed by Gojo Satoru, the strongest magician in contemporary times.

Gojo Satoru will say some beautiful words at that time, which will definitely arouse heated discussions among manga fans!

Lin Qingshan, who hung up the phone, didn't know that Akumi Yuta was thinking about such a "rebellion against Tiangang" plot at the moment, so he then found Ito Ayumi's phone number.

"Moses Moses!"

After he called, he said to the other side of the phone, "Hey! Ayumi!"

"Teacher? What's the matter with you?"

Ayumi Ito asked curiously.

Now Lin Qingshan basically has no official business to deal with her.

The creation of Lin Qingshan's "The Weird Immortal" is now completely under his own control.

And the popularity of "The Strange Fairy" has hit new highs all the way, although the highest ranking limit is the most popular one.

But the number of comic fans will continue to grow.

Especially as the Internet has become more mature in recent years, people no longer rely on paper magazines to read comics.

This actually increases the number of people reading comics.

In the past, the number of people who read comics was less than one-tenth of the entire ACG hobby circle.

After all, it takes time and more money for everyone to buy paper comic magazines and comic book volumes.

But now you can read comics on your mobile phone anytime and anywhere. The price of a single comic or one or two chapters of a comic is much lower than before.

So of course it expanded the number of comic fans.

And this also requires a super-popular comic book to carry the banner.

It used to be "Purple Air Coming from the East", which not only became a classic work in the comics industry, but was also praised by the authorities and promoted as a masterpiece of comics that promotes the traditional culture of the Republic.

Now of course it's "The Tao Weird Immortal".

It also promotes the traditional culture of the Republic, and is also promoted by the upper class as an excellent cultural work that criticizes and alludes to various bad habits in ancient society.

With an extra layer of protection under the guise of criticizing the bad habits of the old society, "The Fairy Tale" becomes completely unscrupulous, and it also attracts more new comic fans.

Therefore, there is nothing to worry about in "The Mysterious Immortal", and there is no need for outsiders like Ayumi Ito to interfere in its comic creation.

Coupled with Lin Qingshan... his reputation has always been terrifyingly stable.

All of Lin Qingshan's works have received steady praise since his debut.

It can be said that the popularity of his comic works has slumped, but the evaluation has never dropped significantly.

Even "Parasite" is not very popular, but it is still rated as a masterpiece.

Therefore, Ito Ayumi is also very relieved and does not need to have any unnecessary communication with Lin Qingshan at work.

Lin Qingshan is also very understanding and will not disturb Ayumi Ito when she is working and increase her workload.

So he called Ayumi Ito at this time. Ayumi Ito was very surprised.

"That's right."

Lin Qingshan said directly, "I actually want to ask Bumi to ask the editor of Itchy Rat Teacher and give him the contact information of Itchy Rat Teacher."

"Teacher Itchy Rat's contact information?"

Ayumi Ito hesitated a little, and then said, "Teacher, do you know that "Protoss" was cut in half?"

"Yeah, got it."

Lin Qingshan on the other side of the phone scratched his head, and then said, "Don't worry, I'm not actually provoking, I just want to say something to Teacher Itchy Rat."

"Teacher, it's better not to irritate the other person."

Ayumi Ito said helplessly, "That teacher must be in a particularly bad mood now."

"Don't worry, am I that kind of person?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "I just want to encourage Teacher Itchy Rat, and I also want to say some other things."

"Oh well."

Of course Ayumi Ito thinks Lin Qingshan has good character.

Although he is a little out of character at ordinary times, he is really a good person.

There is absolutely no intention of provoking and ridiculing competitors.

She went to ask her colleague Gu'an. After some conversation, Gu'an chose to give Yang Shuzhun's contact number to her.

Ayumi Ito sent Yang Shuzhun’s contact number to Lin Qingshan.

But after getting the phone, Lin Qingshan became a little hesitant again.

Call me...what should I say?

And just then...

"Ding dong——"

The sound of the door opening came from the villa. Gu Qianli was also returning home from get off work at this moment.

"Qianli! You're back!"

Lin Qingshan immediately said to her with a smile.

"Green Mountain."

Looking at Lin Qingshan's familiar face, Gu Qianli smiled happily.

Every time, she felt that after seeing Lin Qingshan, the fatigue from work immediately disappeared.

Sometimes, she was in a trance, not knowing when they seemed to have become a couple.

Every day when she came back from work and saw Lin Qingshan, her heart was filled with warmth.

Speaking of which... they have known each other for eight years, which is quite a lot.

She always felt that she was getting older, although Yang Zhihan and Li Zhiqiu said that they didn't look old at all.

But it is a fact that she is almost thirty now.

Lin Qingshan is already thirty-three years old this year, but when Gu Qianli looks at his features, he really has an illusion.

It was as if he was still the same as when she first met him.

But her appearance will age.

So Gu Qianli also wanted...

"We...station C is about to be launched."

Gu Qianli suddenly said, "It's so fast. Station C has been established for more than five years..."

"Yeah, time really flies by."

Lin Qingshan was also a little emotional, and suddenly he did the math at this time.

It seems that when he first traveled through time, the ID card on his body showed that he was already 25 years old.

So now it’s been one, two, three, four…seven, eight…eight years.

He is already thirty-three years old.

What about Qianli?

Qianli must be twenty-seven years old.

Is it time for them to get married or something?

Lin Qingshan suddenly remembered that during this year's New Year, Gu Qianli's grandparents seemed to have asked about this matter.

He seemed to be overwhelmed by busy affairs later on, and his memory of this incident was drowned out.

But he wasn't quite sure what Gu Qianli would think.

Qianli is a strong career person. If she gets married now, will it hinder her work and career?

Lin Qingshan didn't think he could casually replace Gu Qianli's job, although he had the ability.

But he still felt that if Gu Qianli prioritized his career, it would be better to respect her wishes.

After all, Qianli is not just his appendage.

But...what if Qianli had the same idea as him?

As a man, he should take the initiative.

So...let's test it out.

Lin Qingshan immediately asked cautiously, "Qianli...Actually, I have been thinking, how about we get engaged first?"

Engagement is not marriage, it just confirms the relationship.

When the time comes, he can cooperate with whatever Gu Qianli wants.

Gu Qianli was stunned, because... all of this was really unexpected.

She covered her mouth and then stuttered, "Of course...of course I will!"

She never dreamed that Lin Qingshan would say this!

Suddenly, Lin Qingshan remembered something and said, "By the way... I am proposing, but I can't be so casual."

"Wait for me a moment!"

He turned back to the room.

But it is...

Summoning system, flowers, engagement rings...all arranged!

Then he turned on the sound system at home and played BGM!

"Deng Deng!"

Lin Qingshan smiled and greeted Gu Qianli, holding flowers and rings.

The two of them hugged each other with happy smiles on their faces.

…

An apartment in the Magic City.

In the studio of a certain artist, the drawings, brushes and brackets were scattered all over the floor.

It seemed that they were violently thrown to the ground, causing a mess on the ground. At the same time, it can be seen that the person who created this scene must be very uncomfortable.

And Yang Shuzhun, who did all this and destroyed the room like this, was now lying on the ground in a big letter shape.

His eyes under the glasses were like dead ashes.

"I was cut in half..."

Yang Shuzhun still said in disbelief, "I was cut in half... No, I am obviously... the strongest cartoonist of the new generation!"

How ambitious he was once, how desperate he is now.

Originally, he was still working hard to draw the next plot where Henkel came to Casal College to inform the secret party of the news of its doomsday faction.

He felt... he still had a chance to turn things around.

"The Protoss" still has a chance to reverse the current low popularity!

But reality no longer gives him this opportunity.

The comic world held a meeting this afternoon, and then the editor-in-chief Yang Dahai directly announced that "The Protoss" would be cancelled.

And then... it was Gu De'an, Yang Shuzhun's editor-in-charge, who called to inform him.

"The Protoss" was over, and it was directly cancelled without any chance to be completed.

Because the popularity was too low, after the conflict between Yang Mingfei and his biological parents was serialized last week, the comic fans were all scolding.

All comic fans were completely disappointed with "The Protoss", which led to the popularity of "The Protoss" last week, which was actually...

The last one!

So it was impossible not to be cancelled.

If it was the last one from the beginning, it might not be as serious as falling directly from the first popularity to the last one.

After all, falling from the first popularity to the last one is simply impossible.

"What is my hard work for so long? Can't you see my efforts?"

Yang Shuzhun couldn't accept it, and directly overturned everything on the ground, and was furious and made a scene.

Even his newly recruited assistant was driven out by him.

He didn't know what to do now, his dream, everything he worked for...

Is it because he was indeed a little arrogant that led to such an outcome?

For the first time, Yang Shuzhun realized that he... seemed to be wrong.

He has also changed, from humbly listening to the opinions of editor Gu De'an and comic fans at the beginning to being stubborn now.

He remembered that Lin Qingshan wanted to give him advice before but was directly rejected by him.

Now that "God Clan" has been cut short, not only is the popularity of Lin Qingshan's comic "Dao Wei Yi Xian" still rising, but even the animation series he produced is quite popular.

He rejected Lin Qingshan's kindness at that time.

Doesn't this make him look like a clown now?
