Chapter 22: Delayed Release

"Hey, you should be able to buy it so early, right?"

At dawn in the city, a figure of a man ran across the streets of Ninghai City. Feng Danyu had just been pushed out of bed by his girlfriend, who asked him to go to Deya Bookstore to buy "Weekly Boys" which is on sale today.

Both enjoyed watching Detective Conan, but it kept selling and was often out of reach.

Feng Danyu ran to the door of the bookstore. The bookstore had just opened, and the lady proprietress took a broom to sweep the dust on the floor.

"Miss Boss, has "Weekly Boys" arrived?"

Feng Danyu asked, and walked into the bookstore with ease.

"Don't look for it." The proprietress stopped the broom, raised her head and shouted: "This week's "Weekly Boys" will be postponed by one day, so come back tomorrow!"

"Postponed? Ma'am, don't tease me, I'll look for it."

Feng Danyu thought the proprietress was joking, so he searched around disapprovingly, but he didn't see "Weekly Boys", and couldn't help cursing: "What's wrong with Phoenix Company, why didn't we notify you of the delayed release!"

On the street, a black Audi had just stopped, and the people in the car heard scolding from the bookstore.

"The release of "Weekly Boys" is delayed, Brother Hui, have you heard anything?"

asked the man sitting in the back seat. His face was sharp and angular, and his expression was a bit childish, but his every move always attracted the attention of others.

"It seems that there is a problem with the ninth chapter of "Detective Conan." The assistant who was driving shook his head and said: "The author named He Xi retracted the original manuscript, maybe you were scared by Mr. Mach!"

Mr. Mach, the man in the back seat is the author of the comic version of "Detective Sherlock". His real name is Bei Feng, but he usually uses the pseudonym Mach whether he is drawing comics or appearing on TV shows.

He is an idol cartoonist who holds two jobs and is favored by countless girls.

Ninghai TV station invited Bei Feng to participate in an interview in the morning, the content was the comic news of "Detective Sherlock". Bei Feng remembered that today was the release date of "Weekly Youth", and wanted to buy a copy on the way out of boredom, but unexpectedly delayed the release.

"Scared?"

Bei Feng loosened the collar of his shirt and laughed loudly: "I knew that he should give up the booklet. I finally got the right to adapt "Sherlock" comics. No matter how hard he struggles, it's useless."

"But I'm better at drawing than him, and I'm more handsome than him. If the gap is there, he can't do anything if he's afraid!"

Bei Feng acted complacently, not like a 30-year-old adult at all. Although he wondered why Phoenix was willing to postpone the release of the magazine, he didn't think about it deeply.

In the eyes of the driver's assistant, this idol manga artist relies on his natural manga talent and face to live well. Since his debut at the age of 20, his emotional intelligence has not increased but has declined, but Longteng Company doesn't seem to mind it at all. In fact, many professional cartoonists who adapt comics for novels have personality flaws, but Bei Feng is particularly prominent.

His mind was active, and in a blink of an eye he remembered the jihad a while ago. He heard that many female readers posted posts for "Detective Conan", although I don't know how many of his female fans are idols? But certainly not a fifth!

"Brother Hui, let's drive."

Thinking of this, Bei Feng waved his hand happily, and the Audi drove towards the TV station.

In the morning, at Meng Huo's house.

Alice lay silently at the door of the study,

The situation is weird.

Li Qin, who had just come out of the kitchen, was taken aback by her action and almost knocked over the water glass in her hand.

"Alice, what are you doing?"

she asked strangely.

"I'm watching Meng Huo work, sister Qin, please keep your voice down." Alice turned her head and made a booing motion, then continued to peek at the study while lying on her stomach.

In the study room, Meng Huo was concentrating on drawing cartoons. He sometimes frowned and sometimes smiled, and the brush in his hand slid quickly, and he drew a picture in a short while.

Alice was dumbfounded. She had never seen such an efficient cartoonist, and it seemed that Meng Huo didn't need storyboards.

The study room was well lit, and Alice could clearly see that Meng Huo's drawings were completed manuscripts from a not too far away. She was shocked. Could it be that geniuses really exist in this world?

Alice wouldn't be surprised if an author didn't need drafts to write a book. But what are comics? Basically, each comic has several areas, and each area needs to draw different details, how to allocate text dialogue, and how to match character movements and expressions to create a sense of movement, all of which need to be planned in advance.

However, Meng Huo omitted this process. There is no doubt that he planned the storyboard in his head. This ability is just like a computer!

"Sister Qin, Meng Huo is the second place in the high school entrance examination in your county, isn't he?"

Alice had seen enough, she patted her clothes and stood up, then walked to the sofa and asked.

"Yeah, I was shocked when I heard about it!" Li Qin turned on the TV, then lowered the volume and watched it with Alice: "It would be great if that child worked hard earlier, as long as he works hard, he can do anything it is good."

She defined Meng Huo's change as hard work.

Alice doesn't think so, she finally sees it now, the child she is in charge of is a complete genius, it is normal for him to be the second place in the high school entrance examination who can draw the original without a storyboard, Alice even suspects that Meng Huo You can do other things well too.

But she is still very worried now...

Meng Huo temporarily decided to change the plot of Chapter 9, and Ye Xiong made an exception to delay the release of the magazine for him again, and everyone took a risk.

"Can it be done well?"

Alice was flustered, she shook her head, and then turned her attention to the TV. Anyway, she couldn't help much, so it's better to watch TV first to save her random thoughts.

"Mr. Mach, many people now say that "Detective Sherlock" released a booklet at this time to suppress "Detective Conan". Have you read that comic?"

The Ninghai TV station's talk show is playing on TV, but the people appearing in it make Alice unhappy.

"I've heard of this comic, but I haven't read it." The man in the interview room replied as standard as his lines: "I think everyone understands that a comic book requires a long time to prepare. I have been drawing "Sherlock" for half a year. The release date was set a few months ago, how could it be suppressed?"

"Everyone, don't believe in rumors and be deceived by someone with a heart..."

"Snap." The TV was turned off with a snap. Li Qin held the remote control, turned to Alice and smiled, "Let's stop watching TV and disturb that child's work."

Alice was slightly taken aback.

"Miss Qin..."

She was a little moved. Although Li Qin didn't seem to care about the comics, she obviously knew what happened. She didn't want Alice to see unhappy things.

"boom--"

Then there was a sound, and the door of the study opened.

"Alice."

Meng Huo came out from inside, holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand: "I finished the drawing, you can take it back to the company."

"I prepared a character that can make girls scream!"
