Our boss Jia is really busy.

As soon as he came out of Ito's house, Jia Yapeng had to rush to the editorial office of "Weekly Shonen Jump", and together with Takahashi Kazuki, he discussed with his editor in charge about the serialization of Yu-Gi-Oh!

On the other hand, Toshicho Takahashi, one of the editors of "Weekly Shōnen Jump", was also confused about the sudden appearance of Jia Yapeng.

This young man who later became the editor-in-chief of the magazine and is currently the editor-in-chief of Takahashi Kazuki suddenly received a message from Takahashi Kazuki, whom he had not contacted for several months, saying that he had drawn a new sample and hoped to give it to Takahashi.

Junchang has a look.

By the way, Takahashi Kazuki and Takahashi Toshicho have no blood relationship, they just have the same surname.

Of course Takahashi Toshimasa has no objection to this. After all, one of his most important tasks is to review the manuscripts of the cartoonists in charge of him. If he finds high-quality manuscripts, he can further develop them, and finally even

Get on a serial or something like that.

But Takahashi Kazuki's next words confused Takahashi Toshichō. He said that his boss would accompany him to participate in the review, which made Takahashi Toshichō confused.

He did hear about the news that Takahashi Kazuki went to work in a game company because he had no livelihood, but why did he bring the boss of the game company here? Could it be that the boss had taken a fancy to the copyright of a comic? He wanted to adapt it.

It's a game, so you were specially inspected?

In fact, Takahashi Toshicho's guess was partly correct, but he didn't expect that they had no intention of buying the copyright at all.

"Teacher Takahashi, long time no see!" Takahashi Toshicho greeted with a smile when he saw Takahashi Kazuki appearing in front of the editorial department.

"Mr. Gaoqiao, thank you for your trouble!" Takahashi Kazuki also bowed, then pulled Jia Yapeng beside him and introduced, "Mr. Gaoqiao, this is my boss, Mr. Jia Yapeng from China!"

"Jia Jun, this is my editor-in-chief, Mr. Takahashi Toshimasa!" Takahashi and Nozomi introduced one by one, and then the two shook hands in a friendly way.

It’s just that Takahashi Toshichang was even more confused. At first, he thought that the boss Takahashi Kazuki brought was the boss of his game company, but he didn’t expect that he actually brought a Chinese man. What kind of trick was this?

Although Takahashi Toshicho looked confused, he still invited the two of them to the lounge in a friendly manner.

In fact, the so-called lounge is just a few rows of small tables placed on the wall of the editorial hall. All the other editors work in the same space. I don’t know if Weekly Shonen Jump is too poor or too stingy.

Some.

"Sir, this is my sample for this time, please take a look at it!" Takahashi Kazuki was a little nervous and handed the sample of three episodes, which he drew for a week, to Takahashi Toshimasa.

In the past three days, Takahashi Kazuki really struggled with his life, only sleeping an average of three hours a day, and then he was able to finish the manga.

Takahashi Toshicho took the comic and began to read it seriously.

"Chapter 1, The Emperor's Luban Lock!" Takahashi Toshicho unconsciously read out the chapter title of the first painting. This chapter title is not bad, and it is quite attractive to readers, making people curious about the Emperor's Luban Lock.

What is it!

By the way, originally in Jia Yapeng's script, it was called God's Building Blocks, but because Takahashi Kazuki felt that since the background was Chinese, it would not be appropriate to call it God's Building Blocks, so after the two people discussed it for a while, they finally decided

It was decided to change the name to "Lu Ban Lock of the Emperor", and at the same time, the seven artifacts in the future will also be renamed the Emperor Series.

Takahashi Toshichang nodded and continued to read.

"Is this guy named Yugi Muto the protagonist? Why does his hair style look so weird?" Seeing a young man named Yugi Muto appear on page 1, Takahashi Toshicho muttered in his heart, but he didn't have much disgust. Instead, he thought it was a boy named Muto Yugi.

A pretty good design, this hairstyle can definitely make all readers shine.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as it can be remembered by readers, it is a valuable design.

"Is this a weak-minded protagonist?" When Takahashi Toshicho saw that the protagonist Muto Yugi was short in stature, had a cowardly personality, and had a slight sense of inferiority, but at the same time was a good old man, Takahashi Toshicho couldn't help but frown.

He raised his eyebrows.

Such protagonists are not uncommon. In fact, the protagonists of many comics are designed in this way, because this can give the protagonist a pretty good growth environment, allowing the protagonist to grow up slowly, from weak to strong, from cowardly to

There are many places that can be portrayed in the plot such as being strong.

But such a protagonist also has a fatal weakness, that is, he is extremely unpopular with readers in the early stage. Many readers will even hate such a protagonist. As a result, the protagonist of a comic has not really grown up, and the entire comic has poor sales and readers react too much.

Poor, and was cut off from the waist.

"Such a protagonist design is probably a mistake!" Takahashi Toshicho shook his head, then read on, and then saw the title of this episode, The Emperor's Luban Lock. It is said to be a lock, but it is actually installed in a

The various building blocks in the box, and then the narration began to introduce them, saying that these were the magical building blocks that Muto Yugi got from his grandfather’s shelf that had been dusty for a long time.

This Emperor's Luban Lock was obtained by his grandfather in a village in Western Shaanxi Province when he traveled to China a long time ago.

His grandfather is a person who is very interested in archeology. Because he heard that the terracotta warriors and horses in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang were discovered, he wanted to visit nearby and see the true appearance of the legendary terracotta warriors and horses.

But there was a strict blockade by the government. Muto Yugi's grandfather could only go around the surrounding villages a few times, and then bought this box of Luban locks from one of the villages. It is said that this was the day the child discovered the terracotta warriors and horses.

, the box found near the Terracotta Warriors and Horses pit is said to be the toy of Qin Shi Huangdi.

So grandpa bought this box of Luban locks at a high price and took it back to Fusang. However, grandpa himself could not put the completely broken up Luban locks together anyway, so he had to give up completely and put them away.

Inside the warehouse, he was discovered by Muto Yugi.

So Muto Yugi planned to restore the Luban Lock by himself, but when he was assembling the Luban Lock in class, he was discovered by two classmates who liked to bully others. The two people snatched Muto Yugi's Luban Lock, although it was eventually

Kyoko, a beautiful classmate in the class, wanted it back, but the most critical part was snatched away by a classmate named Jonouchi and thrown into the water.

By the way, during this period, Kyoko also cleverly exposed her underwear and sold some benefits.

Later, a tall classmate from the school came to protect Muto Yugi in name, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Muto Yugi for 200,000 yen. Muto Yugi refused to give it, so he gave Muto Yugi a beating.

However, this also made Jonouchi realize his conscience. He fished out the discarded part from the water and gave it back to Muto Yugi. Muto Yugi finally restored the entire Emperor's Luban Lock, and then the entire Luban Lock burst into light.

It completely enveloped Muto Yugi.

When the light dissipated, Muto Yugi seemed to be a different person. He was no longer cowardly and timid, but full of confidence and domineering. He found the classmate who blackmailed him, stabbed the banknotes with the tip of a knife, and gave the classmate to Yugi.

Defeated, and at the moment when he defeated his opponent, Muto Yugi's forehead seemed to light up with a third eye, swallowing up the opponent's soul, making the opponent fall into the illusion of money, unable to extricate himself, and became a madman.

.

"Awesome!" After reading the first episode, Takahashi Toshicho couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that the weak protagonist designed by Takahashi Kazuki would be a failure of this comic, but he did not expect that Takahashi Kazuki just wanted to be a contrasting cuteness, making the dull and submissive protagonist be eliminated in the end.

While possessed, he becomes extremely domineering, which creates a great contrast, making readers feel aggrieved and slapped in the face in the first episode. These two completely different emotions, the plot design is very good!

In addition, the setting of the Emperor's Luban Lock is also full of mystery. It makes people want to read the second episode to find out what the Emperor's Luban Lock is. For example, Takahashi Toshichang couldn't wait to read the second episode.

.

Unfortunately, no matter in the second and third episodes, the true identity of the cold soul never appeared, and the possessed protagonist was kept in the dark and did not know that he was possessed by another soul.

.

It seems that it is impossible to reveal the true identity of this soul in a short time. Readers can only look forward to the subsequent plot.

"That's right! This is equivalent to having two protagonists, one is the cowardly Omo Yugi, and the other is the aloof, cold and mysterious Dark Yugi. It's a very good setting!" Takahashi Toshimasa nodded again, leaving a message for the readers.

The suspense of reading is the most important aspect of a comic that can attract readers to keep reading.

But when Toshicho Takahashi read the third episode, he was suddenly attracted by another element in it.

In fact, these words are basically a routine, that is, a bad guy with a bad personality appears, and then bullies Biao Yugi, who suffers losses, and finally Yami Yu comes out to take revenge and slaps Biao Yuxi in the face, which makes readers feel happy.

It's just that unlike other comics, the way the two sides fight is not a punch-for-punch battle, but through different games.

For example, the game in the first episode is to stab banknotes with a knife. Put a stack of banknotes on the back of your hand, and then you and I stab each other downwards. As many layers of banknotes as the tip of the knife passes through, these banknotes will belong to him. Finally,

Count the number of banknotes obtained by both parties, and the one with the most wins.

The most critical issue with this game is that once you reach the very end and there are only a few banknotes left, you may pierce the tip of the knife into the back of your hand with just a little force. This controls people's psychology and strength.

In the test, once you lose control of your psychology and dare not stab further, you will definitely lose.

The second episode is also another dice-throwing game. Toshicho Takahashi actually doesn't care much about these two games. In fact, these two games are not very attractive, they are just tools for the protagonist to win.
Chapter completed!
