Chapter 22: Delayed Release

"Hehe, you should have bought it so early, right?"

The city was just bright, and a man ran across the streets of Ninghai City. Feng Danyu had just been pushed out of bed by his girlfriend, and his girlfriend asked him to go to Deya Bookstore to buy the "Weekly Boy" that will be sold today.

Both of them like to watch "Detective Conan", but it has always been a best-seller and often cannot be bought.

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

"Boss, has the Weekly Boy arrived?"

Feng Danyu asked, and walked into the bookstore with a familiarity.

"Stop looking for it." The proprietress stopped the broom and looked up and shouted: "This week's "Weekly Boy" was postponed for one day. You can come back tomorrow!"

"Supply? Boss, please stop teasing me, I'll look for it."

Feng Danyu thought the boss was joking, so he looked around without regard, but he really didn't see "Weekly Boy" and couldn't help but curse: "What's the matter with Phoenix Company? Why don't you notify the delayed release in advance!"

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

"Weekly Boy" is delayed in its release. Brother Hui, have you heard of anything?"

The man sitting in the back seat asked, his face was clear and his expression was a little childish, but every move could always attract others' attention.

"It seems that something went wrong in the ninth chapter of "Detective Conan"." The assistant who was driving shook his head and said, "The author named He Xi took back the manuscript. Maybe he was scared by you, Mr. Mach!"

Teacher Mach, the man in the back seat is the author of the comic version of "Detective Sherlock". His real name is Beifeng, but usually he uses the pseudonym mach whether he draws comics or works on TV shows.

He is an idol cartoonist, holding two positions and is popular among countless girls.

Ninghai TV invited Bei Feng to attend an interview in the morning, which was the comic news about "Detective Sherlock". Bei Feng remembered that today happened to be the day when "Weekly Boy" was released. He wanted to buy a book and read it on the way, but he didn't expect it to be delayed.

"Scared?"

Beifeng loosened the collar of his shirt and laughed out loud: "I knew he should give up his single book. I finally got the right to adapt the comics of "Detective Sherlock". No matter how hard he struggled, it would be useless."

"But I draw better than him, and I look more handsome than him. If the gap is there, he can't do anything he is afraid!"

Bei Feng was proud and didn't look like a thirty-year-old adult. Although he wondered why Phoenix Company was willing to postpone the release of the magazine, he did not think deeply about it.

In the eyes of the driving assistant, this idol cartoonist relies on his natural comic talent and face to have enough food and clothing. Since his debut at the age of 20, he has not increased his emotional intelligence but has declined, but Longteng Company does not seem to mind at all. In fact, many professional cartoonists adapting comics for novels have flaws in their personalities, but Bei Feng is particularly prominent.

His mind was active, and in a blink of an eye he remembered the holy war a while ago. I heard that many female readers posted on "Detective Conan". Although I don't know what part of his female fans as an idol? But it's definitely not one-fifth!

"Brother Hui, drive."

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

In the morning, at Meng Huo's house.

Alice lay silently at the entrance of the study, in a strange situation.

Li Qin, who had just come out of the kitchen, was startled by her movements and almost knocked over the water cup on her hand.

"Alice, what are you doing?"

She asked strangely.

"I'm watching Meng Huo work, Sister Qin, please keep silent." Alice turned her head and made a swearing move, then continued to lie down and sneak into the study.

In the study, Meng Huo was drawing comics with all his attention. He sometimes frowned and sometimes smiled. The brush in his hand slid quickly, and he drew a picture in a short while.

Alice was stunned. She had never seen such an efficient cartoonist, and it seemed that Meng Huo did not need a storyboard.

The study room was full of light, and the distance was not far, allowing Alice to clearly see that Meng Huo was drawing finished manuscripts. She was shocked. Is there really a genius in this world?

If the author does not need to write a book by draft, Alice would not find it strange. But what is a comic? Basically, each comic has several areas, and each area needs to draw different details. How to assign text dialogues, how to match characters' actions and expressions to create dynamics, all need to be planned in advance.

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

"Sister Qin, Meng Huo is the second best in the middle school entrance examination in your county, right?"

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

"Yes, I was shocked when I heard about it!" Li Qin turned on the TV, then lowered the volume and watched with Alice: "It would be great if the child worked hard early, as long as he worked hard, he could do anything well."

She defined Meng Huo's change as an effort.

But Alice didn't think so. She finally realized that the child she was in charge was a complete genius. It was normal for him to pass the second place in the middle school entrance examination without a storyboard. Alice even suspected that Meng Huo could do well in other things.

But she is still worried now...

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

"Can you do it well?"

Alice was up and down. She shook her head and then focused on the TV. She couldn't help anyway, so she might as well watch TV first to save her thoughts.

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

The interview program of Ninghai TV is being played on the TV, but the people appearing inside make Alice unhappy.

"I have heard of this comic, but I haven't seen it." The man in the interview room answered as standard like a line: "I think everyone understands that a single comic book takes a long time to prepare. I have been painting "Sherlock" for half a year, and the release time was set a few months ago. How could it be a suppression?"

"Don't believe rumors easily and be deceived by those who are interested..."

"Bang." The TV turned off with a snap. Li Qin held the remote control and turned her head to Alice and smiled: "We'd better stop watching TV and disturb the child's work."

Alice was slightly stunned.

"Sister Qin..."

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

"Bang--"

At this time, the sound came and the door of the study opened.

"Alice."

Meng Huo walked out of it and held a stack of original manuscripts in his hand: "I've painted it, you can take it back to the company."
Chapter completed!
