Extra 10: New Comics

After the World War.

Li Nuo's broken comic has finally come to an end.

During the two years that this comic was serialized, the biggest achievement was that I got a daughter-in-law.

In response, he covered his face and growled lowly at home.

"Ah——! For God's sake, fuck me!"

The aunt downstairs thought that the boy was sick again and felt sorry for the child, so she came to the door and brought a pot of mushrooms.

"Xiao Nuo, eat some fungi, it's good for your health."

Auntie thought Li Nuo had suffered from the "innate immunity syndrome" again.

After sending Auntie away, Li Nuo looked at a pot of mushrooms and murmured listlessly: "Have you ever given a green hand to a patient..."

Back to the topic.

Why is Li Nuo roaring?

Quite simply, the income from Ya Na comics is too low.

That night, Li Nuo came to the corridor and experimented with the weapon box modification machine with Marjie.

At this time a "guest" came.

Lu Li.

The melee fighter on Adam's team is also the player with the best hand-to-hand combat ability in that team.

His appearance was so coincidental that Li Nuo immediately knew what this guy was going to do.

"Why is it over?"

After Lu Li entered the courtyard, he grabbed Li Nuo's shoulder. The force in his hand was so painful that Li Nuo gritted his teeth.

"Brother...you are carrying Zhihu..."

"Why, it's over!"

"You're talking bullshit!"

Players in other people's space yards will not be forcibly teleported away as long as they do not intend to kill people.

Lu Li was teleported away.

"..."

Ten minutes later, Adam brought Lu Li to the door to apologize.

There is a rule in Basel. Players cannot hurt each other, but they can tease each other.

Li Nuo and Marger forced Adam Ireland to hang himself from a street lamp in Basel. The reason was that this guy's name change was too cheating, and this revenge must be avenged.

Looking at Adam wandering on the street lamp, Lu Li regained his composure.

"I've been following that comic of yours since the third chapter."

Lu Li was sitting under the street lamp. Adam's shadow hung above him, covering half of his face, looking extremely melancholy.

"Ah...that's it."

Li Nuo was a little embarrassed, thinking about how he beat up his fans and friends in Novigrad, which made him unsatisfied.

"Li Nuo, you still have a lot of holes to fill."

"That's right... But the problem is, as a comic, after a certain chapter, the website promotion will no longer be targeted at me, and I won't be able to support my family if I continue to draw it."

"But you didn't fill the hole!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, you must have had sex for nothing, right?"

Lu Li was stunned, and the words came to his throat and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Neuromany World" is the name of Li Nuo's comic. The content is a space opera theater story. The protagonist is a cat who seeks death in various galaxies.

The first hundred chapters of this comic were almost closed down due to too much prohibited content, and it was always on the verge of closure until Julie appeared to stabilize the situation.

As for why he knew that Lu Li was prostituted for free on a pirated website... it was just nonsense. How could he know that this guy was actually a prostitute for free.

"Lao Ma, put their captain into a [giant piece of shit]."

"Can."

If a son fails to teach his father, the captain will bear the responsibility for the mistakes of the team members.

Adam Ireland's biggest mistake in his life was not calling him "big brother" when he first met Li Nuo.

Staring at the round shadows up and down the road, Lu Li took the cigarette from Marjie.

"Feel sorry."

"You don't have to apologize for having sex for free. I've always had sex for free." Li Nuo didn't just do it for free, he also tampered with it and created it twice.

"That's not it." Lu Li said, "I always thought that artists treat their works like children."

Li Nuo shook his head: "Shabi... I am a demon hunter, a pioneer of sterilization."

Lu Li was speechless.

Li Nuo was soft-hearted: "Let's do this. I'll draw a story for you to fill in the gaps later, but I'll just draw it as a rough draft."

Lu Li's eyes lit up: "Really!?"

"rest assured."

"By the way! One more thing!"

Lu Li stopped Li Nuo who was about to leave.

"When will your next comic be serialized?"

"I didn't think about it."

"How about a popular theme? Your last theme was too unpopular. Nowadays, naked women are the protagonists."

Li Nuo instantly thought of Cha Bai's "NieR Automata".

"But……"

Lu Li: "Although you hit me, I really like your comics. I hope that the cartoonist I like can become famous,"

Li Nuo began to analyze with Lu Li: "I deleted all the detailed scenes and showed more thighs and breasts. Everything is closer to the meaningless 'coolness'. Let them eat shit like the plot or the characters."

Lu Li: "Isn't that just a short video?"

Li Nuo shrugged: "It's not over yet. I can discuss it with the editor and draw four pages per chapter."

Lu Li: "That's not right. That comic of yours has more than forty pages per chapter!"

Li Nuo: "So I don't make any money."

Lu Li: "Wouldn't that just turn into a sketch?"

Li Nuo: "Only skits make money. These days, dumplings are being made for the Spring Festival Gala. Skits have long been distributed to grassroots people. Everyone wants to watch something entertaining."

Lu Li: "Comics are different."

Li Nuo: "Everything under the assembly line will be the same sooner or later. If you haven't looked at today's football, you won't be able to find a dribbling master."

Lu Li: "Don't talk too far, what happens next?"

Li Nuo: "Then? Four pages and one chapter. Charges will start for Chapter 20. I will spend hundreds of thousands more to promote it. I will draw a bunch of Marjie and people will see it."

Lu Li: "That's not necessary. The smell of wine doesn't have to worry about the depth of the alley."

Li Nuo: "Do you believe it?"

Lu Li: "..."

Li Nuo: "I can make money and become famous with something like that. Do you like it?"

Lu Li: "Do you like it?"

Li Nuo: "..."

The two were silent for a long time. Marger stared at the hanging Adam Ireland. This guy was hanging on the street lamp, but he stared at Li Nuo with pitiful eyes. Adam was looking at a twisted idiot.

Lu Li: "There must be another way...I have an idea."

"What do you want to do?" Li Nuo had a strange feeling.

Lu Li's eyes darkened, and he smiled like a demon from hell: "Tell me the names of your competitors, and I will kill them. Tell me all the guys you think can stop your comics, and I will kill them one by one." ”

At this moment, Lu Li was no longer just a stupid fan, he was a murderer.

Yes, players who are still on the front line at their level can be called murderers, and there are many perverts who can take a shower with a large intestine.

Li Nuo: "Ah... no need to be so extreme."

Lu Li: "It's okay, there's no need to see anyone outside."

Li Nuo used [Yakxi's Seal] to calm this guy down.

"I'm so sorry..."

Lu Li felt that his unreasonable troubles should be over. At the end, he asked the question he wanted the answer to the most.

"Have you seen the eldest lady yet?"

The eldest lady he was referring to was Tiger Eye Peach Branch.

Li Nuo shook his head: "No."

Lu Li stood up and waved his hand. Li Nuo couldn't figure out whether this guy was here because of the comics or whether he was using the comics as an excuse to ask about Tiger Eyes and Peach Branches.

The relationship between this couple is very strange. To put it bluntly, it is the love between two weirdos.

But the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Marger was touched by something and found an excuse to go to work and left.

After returning home alone.

Li Nuo sat at the computer desk, holding the holder of a dip pen in his mouth, looking at the computer screen saver like an idiot.

Cha Bai came out of the kitchen carrying the fried "Jianshouqing".

"Thinking about comics?"

"yes……"

"Didn't you submit an H-comic to the Cairo Editorial Office?"

"Who knows if you will like me."

"Do you want me to try [Focuser]?"

Cha Bai was suddenly startled, and then he remembered that he had inherited everything from Corridor's power, except his [identity] ability.

"Have a meal."

Li Nuo rolled up his sleeves and returned the dish of uncooked rice to the pot.

Chabai leaned against the kitchen door, looked at his busy back, and said, "Do whatever you want."

Li Nuo said "hmm".

At this point, Cha Bai was not surprised by this guy's reaction. He was just a stubborn person. He could make money from many things, but he still clung to that crappy comic.

Li Nuo once told Marjie that if he did other things, he would be passively breaking the law.

In fact, only Cha Bai knew that this guy just liked "drawing comics".

late at night.

Li Nuo sat on a chair, thought about it all night, and finally decided what to do.

He called Julie directly.

"Don't you know people have to sleep?"

Julie wanted to curse when she came up.

"Four o'clock in the morning!"

"I thought you were looking for a duck."

At this time, there was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.

Li Nuo: "I'll go..."

Julie: "Don't talk nonsense...just say what you have to say."

The sound of lighting a cigarette sounded on the other end of the phone.

Li Nuo said: "The next comic..."

Julie grabbed the topic: "The H-comic you submitted has a chance. There is no need to do anything else during this period. You will get a bonus share after the completion of the comic. Even if you do nothing, you can live happily for half a year."

In fact, the real reason is... Cairo people are staring at Li Nuo. They don't want this guy to become a villain because of lack of money, and they are afraid that if he gives him too much money, he will do something outrageous, so he is the only one who enjoys this kind of thing. In order to prevent Li Nuo from suspecting preferential treatment, Cairo Comics Club recently planned to distribute this plan to all middle-level cartoonists.

In fact, Li Nuo knew all these truths. The Cairo Stars were investigating him, and he was also investigating the Cairo Stars.

"I have to be prepared in case I don't get selected."

"That's right..." Zhu Li thought it was reasonable: "You can do whatever you want. You're not interested in something that's hot on the market anyway, and I don't want to force it on you."

Li Nuo said, "Ah, I plan to try something commercial."

Julie was stunned: "Are you sure?"

Li Nuo: "Well, tell me, what makes money."

He decided not to push back.

Julie: "Weird stories from a magical world."

Li Nuo: "Wait...Sister, what is this?"

Julie laughed: "The market trend is like this. Today his father is your father, and tomorrow his father may be your mother."

Li Nuo said: "In other words, everyone has seen enough fun things and wants to find some excitement?"

Julie: "That's true, but essentially...it's still a business background. Can you do it?"

To put it bluntly, the "Evil God" stuff has seen a market resurgence recently. People who read comics want to read something epic, like "Branded Warrior", a story about bitterness and hatred but don't give up hope.

Li Nuo complained: "What the hell, the direction of the trend will change."

Julie responded: "Yes, just like adolescent boys and girls, they will change their gender if they say they want to."

Li Nuo had an idea: "Can I plagiarize?"

Julie: "No! Besides, even if you draw your own stuff, if you want to be famous and make money, you still have to rely on luck. Not everyone is named Yoshihiro Togashi, and not everyone is at the level of Takehiko Inoue."

Li Nuo: "Actually, my painting style is most similar to Umezu Yasumi."

Julie: "Anyway, if you want to make money or make a name for yourself, just go in the direction of the market. We are under great pressure to compete. The fantasy and magical world of 'Evil God' is the best theme at the moment. Although I don't like you. Have high hopes..."

The market direction changes at any time, and Li Nuo cannot adapt to it, but there is one thing he is sure of.

What is an evil god?

He is a warrior of light.

He knows better than anyone what the evil god is.

"Please!"

Li Nuo hung up the phone.

Julie was particularly puzzled as to what disease this guy had.

She sat on the chair and lit another cigarette.

"No...that kid is actually talented. If he really plans to do it well...even if I develop a great ability, I will indirectly eliminate a potential 'big devil'. Both the company and the interstellar team will have to Give me a lot of money... Then, wouldn’t it really be enough to support the pretty guy!”

Julie clenched her fists.

"Yeah! Cosmic Duck House! I'm coming soon!"

the next day.

Julie looked at the "Evil God Concept Picture" sent by Li Nuo, and she fell into a state of self-doubt and insanity.

"He must be out of his mind...does he really understand what the market trend is?"

At this time, Li Nuo called her.

"How about the evil god I designed!"

Julie looked at the "Evil God" drawn by Li Nuo on the computer screen and its design draft, and took a deep breath.

"The body of an insect, the essence of a cat, has four eyes, uses 'swamp gas' as a weapon, 'hum' is a mantra, is particularly good at healing, and has a group of loyal fools as his subordinates..."

"Um!"

Faced with Li Nuo's affirmation, Zhu Li asked: "Are you sure this is called the Evil God?"

Faced with Julie's persistence, Li Nuo asked, "Have you ever seen the evil god?"

Julie hung up the phone.

She was very angry.

Is this his mother called the evil god?

Julie went crazy: "Whose evil god is related to swamp gas!"

"Sister, don't be angry." Julie's assistant stared at him and said, "If you think so, as a cartoonist, at least he looks iconic."

Julie: "But there's something wrong with my brain!"

…

Li Nuo stared at the notification on his phone that Julie had blocked him.

"Marjie is an evil god...don't they know this?"

Cha Bai came out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"What's wrong? Did you send Marjie there?"

"No, I just changed it...it's not Marjie."

"Gulu gulu gulu..." Chabai rinsed his mouth, spit out water, walked out of the bathroom, and asked: "If they don't accept it, then you can change the subject. Anyway, we are not worried about running out of money."

Li Nuo shook his head.

"No...I'll just draw it."

But before that, he plans to use up his half-year bonus before starting a new comic.

…

ps: "As you know, I usually write extras either for free or with a strong purpose. This extra has both. To be honest, it's just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but don't take it seriously! That's probably it. The things in the book title should be more serious. So, here is the theme of the next script: About the World, Chapter 1, End.
