My Cartoonist Guide

　　 On October 20th, the 18th Manga Festival was held as scheduled. "Hunting Abyss" won the "Best Feature Comic of the Year" with a slight advantage, but this was also the only award that "icfuture" won.

　　 Whether the magazine is happy or not, "icfuture" is not the biggest winner of the comics festival.

　　 "mangafly" won the newcomer award, the best adaptation award and the best foreign comic award.

　　 Among them, "Slam Dunk" was selected as the best cartoonist, overtaking other cartoons and winning the award. The popularity of "Slam Dunk" before October even surpassed that of "Hunting Abyss", which also made the gold content of this year's best feature-length comics award questioned.

　　 Ye Hexu didn't care, but he also knew that the gold content of this session was not very high. Therefore, after leaving the live broadcast hall and accepting the media to hand over the room, Ye Hexu threw the trophy into the drawer.

However, 　　 magazine, regardless of public opinion, conducted two special reports on Ye Hexu, and on the girdle of the next volume, it was marked with the words "Best Feature Comic of the Year".

　　 "Hunting Abyss" still ranks first in the small book. Behind it, the battle between "The Soul of Chess" and "The Legend of the Dragon King" has become fierce.

　　 Xiaoliang was invited to play four-sided chess with the sponsor in the Go exchange contest, that is, to play chess with four people at the same time.

　　 It’s not difficult to win four sponsors with Xiaoliang’s chess skills. However, these people have paid a lot of money for the competition, and there will be places in the future to rely on these people. Therefore, the convenience of the organization wanted Xiaoliang to deliberately lose to the sponsor.

　　 Originally, Xiao Liang didn't care, but the sponsor expressed his contempt for Go, which made Xiao Liang feel grudged.

　　 On the other hand, Xiaoguang also started to learn to play draw at the chess club.

　　 "What is a draw? Is it the same as chess?"

　　 After all, there are not many readers who really understand Go, so after seeing the appearance of "draw", some people raised doubts.

　　 "You didn't read the manga carefully, did you? Is it all written on it?"

　　 "I just don't understand. Is there anyone who understands Go? Explain a little bit."

　　 It took more than ten floors in a row before someone gave an explanation.

"Go has 19 lines, 19 verticals, and a total of 361 intersections between horizontal and vertical. The rule of Go is that black moves first. Therefore, if the game is full, there will be 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces on the board. In this case, black has the advantage. In modern games, after the end of Go, black has to deduct 5 and a half eyes, so there will be no draw.

"The manga gives a handicap, and there is no objective rule. Therefore, in this case there is a possibility of a draw. You see, in the first half of this sentence, Xiao Liang and the four people are the handicap. Ziqi. However, if you deliberately play a draw, you need a strong calculation ability. The opponent has to calculate every next step, so it will be very tiring to play."

　　 "Is it so difficult?"

"Yes, this is equivalent to letting a person who is very accurate in free throws deliberately missed free throws, but can't make three misses. For them, missed free throws are more difficult than free throws. The same is true for draw, and every move must be measured. ."

　　 "If Xiao Guangxu can play draws, then his calculation ability is very strong."

　　 "Yes, the story of "Gossip" is really getting more and more exciting. At first I thought it was invincible. Now it seems that my thoughts at the time were really superficial."

　　 "Actually, I'm even more curious about Xiaoliang, will he win those sponsors?"

　　 "I don't know, but it is this kind of uncertainty that makes "Goss Soul" more interesting."

　　……

　　 The ratings of "Hireki" animation gradually increased. After three or four episodes, there was a vague trend of breaking 8%. The comics of "Hireki" became more and more exciting, and the popularity gradually increased.

　　 Although the rankings of "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "The Soul of the Game" have not changed, the number of votes between the two comics is less than 10 votes.

　　 At present, not only "The Legend of the Dragon King", and even other cartoonists, have also sensed that "The Soul of the Game" is about to exert its strength.

In episode 72, "Four People", Xiaoliang is one opponent to four. In the end, he played a draw with two of them, and the outcome of the remaining two people will not be revealed until the next sentence; Xiaoguang also finished with one. A tie between the enemy two.

　　 Two people, at the same time, completed a draw with their opponents in a tacit understanding.

　　 After the 73rd "Perfect Accident" was published, the results of the match between Xiaoliang and the sponsor were finally revealed.

　　 One enemy four, four sides draw.

　　 At the same time, Xiaoguang was also in the chess club, with one enemy four, and the result was a draw on three sides, and the other one missed by one goal.

Although Xiaoguang did not complete the four-draw game like Xiaoliang, readers can feel his progress in Go. At the same time, coupled with Xiaoliang's outstanding performance, the popularity of this statement has increased a lot, and the ranking of Xiaoshu He also went up a step further and defeated "The Legend of the Dragon King" and became the second place.

　　Wang Wenhong almost jumped up with excitement when he saw the little book, but the seniors like Hu Ke and Jia Hui were in the office, and their faces were not pretty. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only bury the matter in his heart.

　　 After get off work, Wang Wenhong hurried to Shen Xin's studio. The moment Li Jie opened the door, Wang Wenhong got into the house like the wind.

　　 "Mr. Shen~www.NovelMTL.com~ Congratulations, Xiaoshu ranked second!" Wang Wenhong threw the briefcase on the sofa on the first floor with a look of excitement.

　　 "Huh? Second place?" Li Jie was taken aback, and then jumped up excitedly, "Which comic is more than that? "Dragon King Biography"?"

　　 "Yes, 10 votes more than "The Legend of the Dragon King"." Wang Wenhong smiled, took out two pieces of paper, wiped the sweat on his forehead, "It is about 30 votes behind "Hunting Abyss"."

　　 "The next sentence is more than "Hunting Abyss"!" Gao Hang held his fist high, still holding the needle pen in his hand.

Standing by the fence on the second floor, Shen Xin smiled and gave Wang Wenhong a thumbs up, "Don’t get too excited, the manga behind is more exciting-Brother Wang, "The Soul of the Game" has been serialized for almost a year and a half since After the first episode, I never took the first place. Right away, it’s the turn of the first place in "Gossman"."

　　 "Are you so confident about the next thing?" Wang Wenhong smiled.

"Of course it's not the next story. In fact, the next story is the beginning of the climax of "Soul of Go". Brother Wang, please believe me. Once the results of "Soul of Go" stabilize, it is absolutely possible to sit first for three months in a row." Shen Xin patted his chest and said.

　　 From the current plot to the disappearance of Zuo Wei, everything is wonderful, which is why Shen Xin is so confident.

　　 Of course, whether it can last for three months, in addition to the wonderful story, it needs the cooperation of other people. At least, "Hunting the Abyss" and "The Legend of the Dragon King" don't engage in any moths.

　　 "I believe you!" Wang Wenhong rubbed his nose, the corners of his mouth cocked, and a smile appeared on his face.
