Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

It's another sunny day with the sun shining brightly, and the slight cold wind makes people want to runny noses. The grape trellises in the large courtyard have withered and turned yellow, and only the autumn chrysanthemums in the flower beds are blooming particularly brightly.

On both sides of the wooden coffee table in the yard, Old Man Xuan quickly shook the dice cup in his hand. This dice cup was not in the form of an upside-down bowl in ancient China, but in the shape of a bamboo tube, which was closer to the gambling equipment of casinos in later generations of TV.

Recently, Yang Dongxu didn't know that the string in his mind was wrong, and the movies about gamblers and gamblers that later generations would watch suddenly appeared in his mind, so he stopped drawing comics on weekends and went to the university courtyard to learn gambling skills from Old Man Xuan.

While he was still learning, he lamented in his heart, why he didn't have any superpowers after his rebirth. The days of learning Russian and English were simply unbearable to look back on, which proved that he would not awaken super memory or other powers.

Now that I'm obsessed with gambling, I start to lament why I don't have clairvoyant eyes, and I can't always guess the number in the dice cup of old man Xuan. As a result, he cleaned all the fallen leaves in the yard and the furniture in the house by himself.

, just thinking about it makes me cry.

"Everything has rules to follow. You must first be discerning. The moment the dice enter the dice cup, you can clearly see their numbers, their positions, and their distance from each other. Whether the two are close to each other or the corners are facing each other.

....."

After Yang Dongxu cleaned the kitchen and contracted the work of washing dishes and pots at noon today, old man Xuan started to explain to Yang Dongxu the dice cup in his hand, pointing to the shai on the plate.

Yang Dongxu began to fall asleep while talking. Obviously, this kind of method requires calculating the physical knowledge of how the dice collide and roll in the dice cup based on the sounds he heard, and then through brain calculations to determine the final dice point when the dice cup stops.

The method was very different from what he imagined.

In his imagination, he can hear the number of codons that belong to special abilities, or mysterious gambling skills. Can you give me a scientific explanation of physics and mathematical operations? What does it mean?

But soon the drowsy Yang Dongxu suddenly woke up, holding his head and sucking in the cold air. Old man Xuan's brain collapse was very painful.

Compared to Yang Dongxu who teaches him, there are no compulsory subjects to learn. Old Man Xuan is very serious when teaching. At the same time, as long as Yang Dongxu chooses to study something, it is not said that he has mastered it, but he must learn it.

In other words, Yang Dong can learn whatever he wants. As long as Old Man Xuan understands, he will teach him. But since he has chosen, he must learn well. Although there is no time limit, he must not be lazy when studying.

"Can you shake out a one-pillar holding the sky?" Yang Dongxu, who was holding his head, instantly became more energetic and looked at the dice cup with wide eyes.

Crash... The dice cup in Old Man Xuan's hand shook, and there was a rapid but very rhythmic impact sound. Then he clicked the dice cup on the table and opened it. The six dice inside were all superimposed together to form a

The upright character '一'.

"Come on, six sixes." Putting aside those brain-burning listening, physics and mathematical operations, Old Man Xuan's skills undoubtedly greatly increased Yang Dongxu's interest in learning.

Hurrah... the dice cup continued to shake, still swaying in the air away from the table. Because the dice temporarily escaped the gravity of the earth's center under the influence of magic, it did not fall to the bottom of the dice cup.

Yang Dongxu lay on the table and turned his head to look at the mouth of the dice cup, and found that the six dices inside were spinning continuously, and he was a bit dazzled and couldn't see anything at all.

Bang, the dice cup clicked on the table, and the six dice inside were opened again, all showing six o'clock upwards.

"Awesome, six more, oh..." Yang Dongxu clapped his hands in praise, but before he could continue to be excited, he received another blow on his forehead.

"Do you think I'm an entertainer? Practice it for me, starting from the one pillar that holds the sky up, not only six sixes, but also six ones, six twos, all the way to six fives. You have to shake them out for me, and then you have to shake them out for me.

Practice how to shake one one and five sixes, how to shake two ones and four sixes..."

"You should kill me." Yang Dongxu wailed and lay down on the coffee table. He felt as if his whim had dug a hole for himself, and it was a huge hole that would be difficult to climb out of.

Playing a rogue and being lazy is obviously useless with Old Man Xuan. Just a few rubs on Yang Dongxu's body, and the bone-chilling pain will make Yang Dongxu suddenly jump up as if he was paralyzed on the coffee table, and then devote himself to the practice process with full energy.

Such an irresistible and arduous study made Yang Dongxu feel like he had gone back to the time a few years ago when his godfather used a bamboo board to let him learn Russian. The sourness of these days could not be experienced by ordinary people.

Climbing and crawling in such a pit, Yang Dongxu climbed until the winter vacation came. At the end of the year, everyone was even busier. It seemed that he was the only one free, so he didn't have to think about going home for the Spring Festival.

However, compared to last year, he was not homesick today. After all, he had just stayed at home for more than a month during the summer vacation, and there was a photo studio in Yanjing. Yang Dongxu took a few photos and sent them back together with the letter. His parents had no intention of letting him go back.

, has been saying that it is not good to trouble others all the time, and tells Yang Dongxu not to be naughty but to be obedient in Yanjing.

At the same time, the people from RB Comics who happened to be contacted by Hao Yifan have reached a preliminary consensus, so they came back to Yanjing to discuss the specific contract with Yang Dongxu in the past few days. The comics club is still Shueisha, and its price is not the highest, but it is

The terms are very exciting.

Ono Matsuchi has been very tired these days. He flew from RB to Hong Kong at least seven times before he won this contract. For this reason, he was not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted.

But when he thought about seeing the author of "Dragon Ball" who was as dazzling as the sun among thousands of stars, he was filled with excitement.

Thinking back to the first time he saw "Dragon Ball", he felt as if he saw Amaterasu. Unfortunately, Amaterasu made a joke to him. The author of such an excellent work was not a member of their Yamato nation, but was born in a backward country.

When he was sure that this incident was true, he repeatedly thought that he must have drunk too much and was dreaming.

In his impression, no, in the impression of the whole world, that backward neighboring country seemed to have no merit except for being a fierce warfighter. But even though it was a fierce warfighter, their Yamato nation's continuous technological and economic leadership had made

They fear their neighbor less and less.

No matter how powerful your army is, you can't go abroad, or even cross the ocean and set foot on RB's soil. Your threat is always limited.

Therefore, Onomatsuchi never thought, not even in his dreams, that one day he would set foot on the land of a backward neighboring country, just to sign a contract for a comic book.

But all the impossibilities have turned into reality, and the overt and covert fights between several comic companies made him understand the importance of catching the author of this comic.

In addition, in recent years, the attitude of his own prime minister towards this neighboring country has been relatively mild, and the right-wing forces are still secretly accumulating strength. He has no other prejudice against this neighboring country except for being backward, which allowed him to quickly adjust his mentality.

After the plane landed, he underwent a very strict inspection. There is no way. In this era, except for foreign staff in the embassy, ​​it is difficult to see other foreigners on the street.

Although China is not as repellent to the entry of foreigners as before, it has not yet reached the point of warm welcome. Ono Matsutomo and his casual secretary still went through the embassy procedure. Otherwise, they would not be able to buy a flight.

Air tickets to Yanjing.

I asked about the purpose of coming, about my job, about my spouse, about my children, about my father and mother, and even about where I went to school... In short, after three generations of ancestors had asked everything clearly

, Onesatsu Chicai came to Wangfujing accompanied by the staff.

Yang Dongxu, who was still having a headache about how to pick up someone at the airport, no longer had a headache in an instant, because someone had already sent him there very considerately.

Yang Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief after enthusiastically sending the airport staff away. At the same time, he also felt that meeting foreigners was not as troublesome as he thought.

He originally thought that foreigners entering Yanjing would be monitored at all times, but it was not as exaggerated as he imagined. Although the government is now very strict about foreign visitors, it is impossible to treat everyone as a spy, not to mention that no matter how stupid a country is, it cannot

Use a foreigner who is as obvious as a firefly at night to fly in and follow the regular procedures to act as a spy.

"Are you Xiaoxu Jun?" When Onosatsuchi saw Yang Dongxu, he felt that his outlook on life collapsed again. He kept looking at Hao Yifan next to him, hoping that he was joking with him, but it turned out that this was not a joke.

"If the Xiao Xujun you are talking about is the author of "Dragon Ball", I think that is me." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Xiaoxu is his pen name, and the lyrics and compositions of those songs are also under this pen name.

"You speak Japanese!" This time, not only Onomatsuchi and his assistant were surprised, but also Hao Yifan and the translator he brought with him had their eyes widened.

"The dialogues in the comics are all in Japanese. I think this is a good explanation, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu shrugged, and walked to the side of his drawing board in the yard, turned the drawing board over and showed it to several people, and handed a stack of

The manuscript paper is given to Ono Matsutomo.

The contract for "Dragon Ball" has never been negotiated, so the content of the manuscript sent by Yang Dongxu was not very much. It took several months and it was only serialized to the fourth chapter: Kamesenren's Somersault Cloud. At this time, Yang Dongxu sent the manuscript to Ono Matsutomo.

This is the content of Chapter 5: Oolong appearance.

After reading a few pages of the manuscript in his hand, Onomatsuchi stood at attention and bowed to Yang Dongxu: "Hello, Mr. Xiaoxu, I am Onomatsuchi, the deputy director of the editorial department of Shueisha. This is my assistant Yoshimi Kurai. Please take care of me for the first time.

"

Ono Matsuchi looks to be in his thirties, with small eyes and a mustache on his lips. He is not tall and is a bit thin. However, this bow and the honorific made Yang Dongxu very satisfied.

I feel like I made a conscious decision to choose Shueisha.

"Now that it's confirmed, let's have a good discussion about the contract." He didn't say anything about going to treat him to a meal or anything. He just sat down in the room, and Yang Dongxu made a pot of tea and everything was settled.

"I wonder what Mr. Xiaoxu wants?"

The two of them talked in Japanese, so the translator Hao Yifan spent a lot of money to hire became his own special translator, constantly whispering in his ear.
