Chapter 233: "One Piece" won't be lonely anymore

The riot was just an episode, and after that, everything returned to peace.

In the following weeks, the progress of both Phoenix and Zhongxia was accelerating.

The sales of "Weekly Premium" are gradually increasing, but "Weekly Boy" has increased even more, basically maintaining two-thirds of the former level.

However, at this time, Meng Huo was not in a hurry to release One Piece. Now he has the advantage and can hold his trump card. Zhongxia Company must have other actions. They are too calm. The publicity offensive in the weeks after the commotion is limited. Compared to breaking through sales, it is more like solidifying the current popularity.

"The Sequel to Detective Sherlock" is even more strange. In a few weeks, Ai Haibara's character has voted first in popularity. However, "The Sequel to Detective Sherlock" has not diminished. Even in "The Sequel to Detective Sherlock", the turnout rate of this comic reached 30%, ranking first.

The comics of "Weekly Premium" are all selected from "Midsummer Daily" and have been selected in the past few weeks. The high votes of "Detective Sherlock Sequel" prove that it is indeed the best comic in "Midsummer". Li Xin's strength cannot be underestimated.

But the reason for this phenomenon is that Meng Huo observed for a few weeks and found that there are other answers - the plot of "The Sequel to Detective Sherlock" is developing rapidly.

The content of this comic is excellent in every issue, and the story is very fast. The female detective came out to fight Sherlock's wits and courage "gaochao" one after another, and the relationship between the two increased sharply, and she had a tendency to let the readers finish the ending in one breath.

"The Sequel to Detective Sherlock" is like a car with full power. It does not intend to leave any foreshadowing at all. It goes straight to the ending, which is natural, which makes readers who follow it.

"He's crazy?"

Meng Huo didn't understand why Zhongxia Company or Li Xin did this. It's still a long time since the single-line book was released, but at their speed, they would finish the story soon. It's so good, what should I do later?

He had a premonition that Zhongxia might have a back move, so he temporarily kept One Piece and focused on the plot of "Detective Conan", which made the sales of "Weekly Boy" steadily increase.

In other aspects, the cooperation between Phoenix and Huamei has deepened. Huamei Bookstore is satisfied with the results brought by Meng Huo. They promote He Xi with Phoenix. Both companies can gain benefits from it.

Meng Huo occasionally returns to the company to check the progress of other work, comics, animations, and games, and everything goes smoothly, and the employees are full of fighting spirit.

Most of the time, Meng Huo still stayed at home, painting and playing the piano. He had more time to read books and accompany Li Qin. This made Li Qin happy. Alice was still busy with work. She seemed very busy during the holidays, and she only came over when she received the manuscripts a few times.

It is worth mentioning that the event prepared by Alice for Meng Huo encountered an unexpected situation. After the proposal was put forward, it was opposed by Xu Jing - he wanted to set up a bigger event.

After internal discussions at Phoenix Company, the event was postponed to July. It was no longer a reader meeting and thank-you meeting, but more solemn, a grand celebration for the first anniversary of Meng Huo's debut.

This celebration was organized by Phoenix Company, Huamei Bookstore, Ninghai TV Station, and other cooperative companies, even volunteer readers. It is said that it will be the largest comic celebration in history.

Alice even revealed to Meng Huo: "The concerts of top Chinese stars cannot reach the scale of your celebration."

But she just said this, but she strictly followed other content and gained her appetite. Meng Huo was curious. He couldn't help asking Xu Jing, but the old man just smiled and said, "You kid don't have to worry. We will make arrangements."

Everyone kept the secret, and Meng Huo had to give up.

Subsequently, the mid-term score of Ninghai No. 1 Middle School was released, Meng Huo was third in grade, and the first in grade was still the girl Chen Jie.

Chen Jie's academic performance has not regressed at all. The progress of music and voice actors has been soaring, especially dubbing. Now some readers have discovered that there is a mysterious voice actor in the voice actors of "Pokemon" and "Fate/staynight".

This mysterious voice actor was responsible for the dubbing of Saber. His stern and graceful voice had long captured the ears of a large number of players. Therefore, a small group specializing in the research of voice actors appeared on the He Xizhi Home Forum. Fortunately, Shen Jie's voice change is powerful, and no one doubts her for the time being.

During the weekly holidays, Chen Jie would actively come to Meng Huo's house. She was much more low-key, but she felt that Meng Huo became cunning. Chen Jie often seized some wonderful opportunities to launch an offensive against him, and several times it made him unbearable.

In the last week of April, Meng Huo bought back a "Weekly Premium Product".

Chen Jie sat beside him and planned to watch with him. The girl happily hugged Meng Huo's hand and said, "Meng Huo, you're starting to grow a beard."

At the age of sixteen, Meng Huo grew short wool, which is a period that every man must go through. Meng Huo felt it a few days ago. This incident made him feel a faint sense of regret. After all, people will grow up. He will sooner or later be born again.

Perhaps because the food and environment have improved, his beard appeared earlier than in his previous life.

The beard is very short and thin, just like the fluff on the surface of the body. Meng Huo did not intend to shave it. His beard was very light. It was the first time he shaved when he was twenty years old in his previous life. At that time, outsiders could not tell it if they didn’t look carefully. In fact, many boys’ beards were like this for the first time. This beard would stop growing when it grows to a certain length, which is very inconspicuous.

However, once shaved, the beard will change. It will become thicker, darker, and grow rapidly - and this is a symbol of maturity, representing a boy's life that needs to be cleaned up frequently.

Meng Huo is only sixteen years old now and he doesn't want to do this job yet.

So he ignored Chen Jie's words and put the "Weekly Premium" on the table, preparing to tear the membrane open.

This made Chen Jie slightly unhappy: "Why are you not surprised at all? Shouldn't a boy appear to hate beards at this time?"

Meng Huo smiled faintly and said, "If I express surprise, do you have any other thoughts?"

During this period, he found that Chen Jie was getting more and more experienced. As long as she was given a chance, she would definitely take surprising actions.

"You know me..." Chen Jie squinted her eyes and smiled: "If you say you hate your beard, I can pat my chest and promise you: I'll do such a troublesome thing to help you shave your beard! - Isn't it very handsome?"

She had fantasies that she could help Meng Huo, who grew up, take care of her clothes and shave her, and then send him out every day. Maybe there are many girls who hate these things, but this is Chen Jie's romance, and she hopes that there will be such an intimate lover.

"really……"

Meng Huo sighed. Chen Jie is like this now. Her growth rate is amazing. She used to confess directly, but now she has learned to capture men with sweet words.

These words may not feel anything once or twice, but after listening to them for a long time, they will indeed make people depressed.

This girl is too perfect. She has many elements that make Meng Huo envious, but...

“…”

Meng Huo shook his head, he said nothing, tore open the "Weekly Premium" and was attracted by the content on the cover. Below the title of the cover, there is a sentence: This issue's quick report - "Sequel to Detective Sherlock" is wonderfully completed!

"It's over?" Chen Jie saw the words on the cover and opened her eyes wide in surprise: "It's over!"

This is impossible, did Zhongxia Company give up the agreement?

Meng Huo was shocked. He quickly turned on the comic and stayed in the main text of "Detective Sherlock Sequel" for a moment. Then he directly flew to the last page of the comic and looked at the place where the following preview should have been written, which is now printed on it.

"Next week's new series, Duke Anthony's lifelong efforts, the second part of "Detective Sherlock" is real, the waiting for billions of people, the serialization of "Detective's Son" is started!"

After reading this sentence, Meng Huo understood everything. He knew the reason why "Detective Sherlock Sequel" was so fast.

That comic is not a real sequel at all, but rather an explanation of a background, which is the supplementary ending of "Detective Sherlock" forty years ago.

"Sequel to Detective Sherlock" tells the story of Sherlock's love with a female detective in China. This is a prelude to the purpose of attracting their child, the protagonist of "Son of Detective".

“What an amazing twist…”
Chapter completed!
