Chapter 510 How to Keep Readers in Dire Straits without Losing Their Support

When the black hearse that Marger rides travels through the city, it always encounters invasions by weird creatures. These things are all created by the ecosystem of Infinite City.

The core ability of the Ant Queen [Charmer] is the bug that spreads the virus.

The name of that kind of bug is [Essence Happy Bug], and they are almost impossible to detect.

Li Nuo's insight cannot detect it, but Nanami's [Realm of Reason] can see the outline. In the final analysis, these bugs are not "malicious monsters", but an incarnation of energy.

The function of bugs is to possess all "creatures" in a large environment. At critical moments, [Charmer] detonates bugs to achieve a large-scale "charm" effect, which is particularly effective against creatures with low magic resistance.

This is why the world of Cairo is subject to large-scale control by the Queen Ant.

The development of things should actually follow the path set by the ant queen. The ant king uses part of the power of the [Charmer] to control those bugs to continue to infect the city, holding the actions of all living things in his hands. Since the big hand of fate holds A pen, the chimera ant snatched that pen away.

But fighting the succubus was an accident. Marger destroyed the [Charmer] in an unwarranted act of kindness as a healer.

At this moment, the gorilla driver is driving the hearse to avoid various strange creatures. Don't underestimate the driving skills of a truck driver. They have all developed unique driving skills in order to avoid traffic fines.

The hearse drifted around the corner, and a giant ant chasing behind it plunged into the building in the center of the road.

Marjie stuck his head out from the passenger seat and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Ahaha, you and other mortals still want to catch up with me? I carry the fate of the whole world on my back and go alone to Assi, let's cry to Marseille!"

The gorilla driver held up a sign: "I don't understand."

Marger explained: "Do you know why they chase me?"

The gorilla driver held up a sign: "Please enlighten me."

Marger said: "Because longing is the farthest distance."

Zhi——!

The gorilla driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Brother Ma was stunned: "Don't be shocked... I can speak human language."

The Gorilla driver shook his head and pointed to a bright red light in front of the road, which meant: stop at the red light.

Marger: "Huh?"

At this moment, a wild giant worm emerged from the roadside and knocked them down along with the nearby steel buildings!

Marger crawled out of the collapsed steel plate in embarrassment.

Instead, the hearse lying on the ground was leaking oil and broke down.

He pulled the gorilla driver out of the steel plate.

Marger touched his pocket. He didn't know where the cigarette had fallen in the collision, so he dragged out the chimera ant that died in the ruins not far away and took out a pack of blood-stained cigarettes from the corpse. .

After lighting it, take a deep breath and exhale the green smoke.

Walk back and put the cigarette into the mouth of the orangutan driver.

As a doctor in Cairo, he knows that the Cairo star race has a very different way of healing. They use "acting methods". Take the current situation as an example. Truck drivers cannot do without tobacco and alcohol, so gorilla drivers can restore their health by smoking.

It’s abstract, but this absurdity is the world of Cairo.

The orangutan driver struggled to take out a piece of wood from his buttocks: "Give me more money when I get back."

"Hmph..." Marger stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at the strange colors around him: "I want to live in an ideal world, where everyone never talks about money."

The gorilla driver squinted and took out a wooden sign: "You are so shameless."

At this time, Marger's cell phone vibrated, and the special magic screen projection of the world of "NieR" was broadcast on the screen. It was a mechanical life form.

"Leader...we have found the remaining citizens and have protected them..."

"Well, you will be missionaries when you return."

"Thank you, leader!" The mechanical life form asked again: "Master, missionary, what is it?"

Marjie: "Just spreading the position of the heir at will."

The mechanical life forms over there let out a cry of "vomit!"

More than 80% of this group of mechanical life forms are "female", and this "missionary" later became the largest "flower industry" in the world of "NieR".

The screen closed and Marger took the cigarette from the gorilla's mouth and took a long puff.

"Damn, I'm a little nervous..."

"Dude." The gorilla held up a wooden sign: "What are you nervous about?"

Marjie's brows trembled slightly: "I carry the lives of a city on my shoulders, so it's hard not to be nervous."

The gorilla sneered and picked up another wooden sign: "I don't think highly of you."

Marger: "Huh?"

Gorilla: "Well, you're so stupid [beep]."

Marger threw a [Shit Block] in its face.

When the gorilla driver blasted Marger, a sales vehicle came into view and stopped on the side of the road.

Victor calmly got out of the car and pulled away from the orangutan driver who was beating Marco.

"Brother Ma, Brother Li and his gang are going to help Sister Cha launch a general attack on the king. Luo Lei and I will involve the remaining chimera ants."

Luo Lei watched from a distance.

Marjie said hello to the tough guy with an afro who was less than 1.6 meters tall: "How pitiful."

Luo Lei thought he was saying: All your team is dead, sorry.

In fact, Marjie was saying: You are going to be sold to Sauron as goods by Li Nuo, how miserable it is.

Luo Lei, a fool who didn't know the meaning, actually had a slight affection for Marjie (the kind of normal affection between men).

Just then,

Every player heard the system update:

[Somewhere, the strokes of fate are competing with the protagonist...]

The reason for the update is that the popularity of the comics drawn by Li Nuo has exceeded 4%.

If the popularity exceeds 8%, it can win the "partial naming rights".

If it reaches 4%, the system can broadcast it to the players in real time in the form of narration.

[Our protagonist Nanami is driving to the fortune-teller's hut at this time]

Nanami's voice came from the headset shared by the players:

"Everyone...what's the situation?"

"Is Li Nuo doing something over there?" Cha Bai felt guilty. As Li Nuo's guardian, she knew that this guy had the bad habit of tearing down the roof all day long.

[And in that fortune-teller's hut, there is something that the heroine Nanami cares about]

Nanami: "I know, Li Nuo is replaying what happened before."

She is rare for having small breasts but a brain.

As she expected, the progress of the story that was spread here was delayed.

[The car stopped at the roadside, Nanami jumped out quickly, opened the door, and saw a familiar yet strange figure...]

[Male protagonist, Maljie, appears!]

Nanami: "?"

Chabai: "Ah..."

Luo Lei: "What?"

Malejie: ​​"Huh... Huh——?"

Brother Ma was panicking. Nanami was the protagonist and he was the male protagonist. The relationship was very delicate. Nanami would hit people.

"Li..."

Brother Ma was about to curse Li Nuo when he suddenly realized something special.

Male protagonist.

"Old Wei, I need the car."

Malejie suddenly became serious. The male protagonist couldn't stand still.

Victor realized that he was going crazy.

"Brother Ma, you'd better get some sleep."

"Old Wei, can I leave my back to you?"

Victor's eyes darkened: "It's over... Brother Ma is sick."

"Huh." Maljie smiled evilly, took over the driving rights of [Emile's truck], and jumped into the car in a chic manner.

This time the doctor is going to do something big, just like the big thing the priest did back then.

The voice-transmitting elf suddenly appeared in the car. Maljie drove with both hands and had to bite the elf in his mouth.

"Don't, don't rush over! Ah... Ah! Li Nuo used to play with me with the 'magic girl'! Ah, it hurts! At the critical moment, I will let you appear! Ah!"

Maljie spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Miss Cha Bai, it's a good idea... How many ways do you think he can force me to go over?"

He stepped on the pedals, and the car ran over the two corpses directly, leaving two bloodstains extending to the outside of the Infinite City. Maljie set himself up as a "road-chattering male protagonist".

This scene appeared in the comics with "Ant King" as the protagonist.

Li Nuo's pupils swept there.

The staff also saw it and said, "The male protagonist you sealed ran away."

The leader said mysteriously, "Stupid, he is just helping the author create dramatic conflicts."

Everyone understood in seconds that the male protagonist was a road-chattering person, but he suddenly arrived at the most critical moment.

"What a cliché plot."

"But it works."

"This male lead is amazing."

Li Nuo pretended not to hear anything. The most important thing now is to keep the popularity above 8% before the progress catches up.

As a creator, his biggest advantage is that he can know all the information, and his disadvantage is that he can't communicate with everyone in the story.

On the big screen at the intersection and on the viewer's mobile phone, the story of the comic is progressing steadily.

[When Nanami saw this man, her memory went back to the past]

[That was a story linked to the past]

When Wen Ke saw this, he immediately contacted the advertising company and played the advertisement of Nanami's first "dimple" on the big screen again.

The audience couldn't imagine that this was actually a serial drama.

The man who existed in Nanami's story only appeared in the story with his back to the audience.

Li Nuo didn't plan to draw Maljie's face.

[Current popularity 5.3%]

Li Nuo did not continue to serialize the next story. He went back to the distant past to lay the groundwork.

The appearance of this protagonist must overshadow everyone. The most important thing is the foreshadowing, the foreshadowing, and the foreshadowing.

He gave up the fast advancement of comics that he used to do in order to avoid losing readers.

Instead, he used the most clumsy way to connect the past and the present.

[It all started with the Eternal Life Train]

[It was actually Nanami herself who saved her, but it was a doctor who brought her the future]

The players of Infinite City can also hear the voice of the narrator.

[The girl from Eastern Europe, the girl who licked blood on the edge of a knife, the bug in the gunfire, never thought that one day she would fall in love with a middle school student]

Nanami was silent.

Behind her, the gorilla princess was fighting with the monsters of Infinite City, but she couldn't bother her at all.

Nanami suddenly smiled with a shallow dimple.

She felt that if the protagonist of the story was Maljie, there would be no problem.

[She found the trace of this man in Minas City, and the shadow in the dream was printed on the corner of her eyes again]

Nanami: "?"

But if it was Li Nuo who wrote the story, then there would be a big problem.

[I have been looking for you for so long, why are you hiding from me! 】

【When Nanami asked the question, the man just snorted coldly and turned away】

Li Nuo made full use of the journalism of taking things out of context.

In simple terms, he pieced together the stories that happened and made them incoherent. Anyway, most people who read the story now want to kill Maljie.

Nanami fans gathered on the big screen in the block are going crazy.

"What is this thing!"

"Player, right? Don't think we natives can't deal with players!"

"Wait... is this really happening?"

"What do you care if it's true or not? Even if it's an idol drama, it's worth a beating!"

[Current popularity 5%]

"Fewer people are reading comics!" The staff shouted: "Hey, hey, hey! Author, what are you doing!"

Another staff member hung up the phone: "Player 5762 (Nanami)'s company wants to complain about you!"

Li Nuo was focused: "Shut up, don't bother me."

The dip pen swiped out ink, and the G pen head slid across the paper.

Outlining and shading, all in one go.

The fountain brush in his mouth fell on his left hand, and the soft brushstrokes quickly blackened, and page after page of stories were constantly generated in his hands and in his mind.

Maljie appeared inexplicably, and suddenly covered the male protagonist's hat, coupled with his disgusting personality, which was enough to arouse public anger.

Therefore, Li Nuo did not describe Malger's personality in detail, and almost never let him have any dialogues. He used a character with no "personality" to strengthen the viewer's sense of substitution.

Everyone is the male protagonist.

Everyone wants to save Nanami.

The more frustrated you are, the more you want to watch.

A staff member asked: "Why don't you try to change the course of some past stories?"

Li Nuo also wanted to, but he couldn't change the past trajectory.

At this moment, he cast his eyes on the comic "King". Suddenly, the king with a simple style raised his hand to the sky.

Snap——!

The shield protecting the Infinite City was broken!

Zeref and Xiao Wu watched it.

The two panted heavily, and after fighting for a long time, they could hardly hurt the ant king.

Even if the king did not have [Charmer], the protagonist's halo on it still could not cause serious damage to it.

"What are you doing?" Jellal said, "You should know that you are safe only with this shield."

Cha Bai stared from afar: "The bird in the cage broke out of the cage, ominous..."

The sky shattered.

The fragments of the shield of Infinite City fell like snow, and light and shadow flickered in this messed up city.

But the light and dark of the comics have made the world pale.

With the collapse of the shield.

The colors in Infinite City extended outward, and the entire Minas City entered the comic field.

The king raised his eyes, and he saw farther than everyone else.

The top of the Star Dome Warehouse was desolate and gloomy, and beyond the impenetrable black clouds and the unbreakable silence, a spaceship was hiding in the distance and watching covetously.

The rescue army of Gorilla Enterprise has arrived, and these guys are ready to reap victory.

In the cockpit of the spaceship, the observer shouted to the microphone: "Boss, the color is wrong."

The three bosses of Gorilla Enterprise sitting in the private room shook the wine in their glasses, and none of them took it seriously.

"Then wait a while before landing, wait here."

Their goal is to capture the mature ant king, blame the situation on the competitor "Cairo Ramen Shop", let the big companies and wealthy people withdraw from this trade transit city, and wait for the people to leave before digging for the legendary "energy gem".

If the gorillas knew that the "energy gem" they have been looking for is actually a child's pinball, I wonder what expression they would make.

But there will never be such a day.

The root of the trouble they have planted is actually the hunters pretending to be prey.

"Noisy guys."

The king whispered softly.

It began to recover the insects planted by the queen ant on these gorillas.

In the spacecraft, a large number of pilots suddenly fainted.

The gorillas adopted the backup plan and immediately left the planet.

But at this moment, the king has withdrawn all his strength. A sapling that only he can see appeared behind him. In just one or two seconds, it turned into a towering tree.

Cha Bai's tactical goggles saw the tree.

It was a large magnolia tree that looked like a blooming summer tree. Its dense branches and leaves were like a pagoda, dotted with milky white flowers.

A woman crawled out of the trunk. The shadow of Meng Zang Jianan hugged the ant king, and the mother gave her child the last assist.

The leaves scattered, wrapping the mother and child inside.

The king raised his head and looked up at the quiet sky through the leaves. He saw the newly revealed stars shining faintly, and the power absorbed by the queen ant gathered on it.

Cha Bai immediately opened the [Portal] to pull Xiao Wu and Jelf away.

"Sister! What are you doing!" Jelf shouted in dissatisfaction: "I still have a big move to use!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the king burst out a fierce beam of light with itself as the center. The white light pierced the sky like a sharp sword.

"Hey..." Jelf: "Sister Cha, I'm sorry for what happened just now..."

Cha Bai ignored it and said based on what he saw with the [Tactical Goggles]: "The king's health is 12,000, and the weak point is in the middle of its body, but..."

But this guy has evolved.

The four eyes merged together and became two normal eyes.

Its shell cracked, and it turned pure white, becoming more and more like a human.

Now, its body hardness decreased, and its attack power increased greatly.

The king obtained the power of his mother and gained the growth of the protagonist.

The sky turned blood red.

The disaster still did not stop.

Xiao Wu and Jellal were about to fight, but Cha Bai scolded them: "Do you still want to assist the 'protagonist'!"

Xiao Wu woke up from a dream: "By the way... why do I want to fight it..."

Cha Bai: "[Focuser]! The ability to attract elite enemies!"

Zeref: "...Fuck...you [identity holders] are really troublesome..."

Wang's pupils turned and looked at Cha Bai. He knew that this woman was unusual, but he didn't take action because he had a feeling... that he couldn't do anything to Cha Bai.

"Those who are favored by fate..."

Wang murmured.

Where no one is paying attention.

The souls of the three guards, Ryan, Du Jiu, and Du Juan, entered the earth's veins and came towards Wang You.

The protagonist is about to gain the power of his "companion" at the last moment.

The king's last step in resisting fate is just around the corner.

The sky was flickering with flames, and several howitzers struck Wang in an arc.

Fire ignited all around.

Cha Bai hurriedly stood up. She saw the interstellar hunters who had not fainted in Menas City and the chimera ants who were acting as the second and fifth sons. They were using thermal weapons to kill the king who had controlled "people's hearts".

The king raised his arms and swept them out to extinguish the flames burning on his body.

It flexed its knuckles and walked towards the idiots attacking it.

Li Nuo saw Wang's final resistance from the comics that progressed in real time.

Ryan, the four guards, and all the players are still pawns even if they die. The Queen Ant gave them "tags" when they were reborn. After they died, the power returned to the King.

Ryan noticed this, so he hesitated about "loyalty".

In the comic that is being updated automatically, Wang takes action against his enemies, and his rough brushstrokes describe the flying flesh and blood.

A girl with short white hair stood on the roof. She never thought of joining the fight.

As the protagonist, Cha Bai understands the horror of [Focuser] better than anyone else. The more you try to attack the protagonist, the more serious the problem will be.

She is waiting.

Wait for Li Nuo.

Waiting for the person she believed in most, she used a dip pen to outline the climax of the story.

Every player listened carefully to the side of the system and the storyline re-written by Li Nuo.

[Nanami, who has arrived at Infinite City, blocked the army for this man]

[Nanami doesn’t know why, the girl may just want to say goodbye to the past, and if she can’t find a lover, she will go on as a comrade]

[This is the support of a girl who came out of the war, she is compromising with herself]

Li Nuo's fortune is already breaking out in a cold sweat. The closer to the end, the greater the pressure.

【Current popularity 4.5%】

The heat continues to drop.

Nanami, the protagonist, made unacceptable concessions for the male protagonist.

Audiences didn't like the story.

What they want to see is the scene where Nanami is redeemed.

The scene changes.

[Marger came to the factory. He looked at the citizens who were harmed by the evil god, standing there like nails]

[As a doctor, he cannot see this]

[Marjie lowered his head and slowly lit a cigarette]

A fountain pen wrings out cigarette smoke on white paper.

[Nanami was attacked by Ryan at this moment. She was seriously injured and even vomited blood]

【Current popularity 4.8%】

[When the girl's almond-shaped eyes opened, she saw Marjie]

【Current popularity 4.5%】

Li Nuo skipped the page directly, leaving only the shadow of Ryan's death on the next page.

And standing next to Ryan was Marger.

Journalism is once again leading the way, misleading people's minds when stories skip over key elements and only give results.

[The two people's eyes met, Nanami felt extremely relieved]

Basel, the crossroads audience watching the comic live broadcast, most of them were misled into thinking that it was Marger who killed Ryan.

The comics are only one page apart, which makes people mistakenly think that Malger defeated Ryan by taking action.

[The evil god’s harm to the city]

[The deaths of Johanathan and Shao Hong]

[The girl was beaten into a shadow of serious injuries]

[All this is reflected in Marger’s eyes. He has found all the information and can now set off]

[Nanami looked at him leaving, as if she felt like she was at the bottom of a clear lake, taking a deep breath of air like drinking soda, and the stone that was suppressed in her heart cracked at this moment]

…

[Current popularity 6%]

…

At this moment, Wang was holding the person it had defeated in his hand, and the color in its eyes changed again.

The color gray scale rises.

The caricature is getting more and more outrageous.

…

[On the other side of the battlefield, it seems that no one can stop the power of the evil god]

The manga has reached its seventh act.

Nearly ten minutes have passed since the serialization started.

The previous fight between Zeref and Xiao Wu and Wang was drawn in the story.

Li Nuo spent a large chapter on the story of these two fighting against the guards, and they are just waiting for now.

[The two of them still cannot shake the evil god]

[The strongest warriors can only stare blankly, watching the evil god's near-"perfect" evolution]

[Nanami is also paying attention to this battle. She is injured and cannot join the battle]

Li Nuo stopped writing here.

Those who wanted to see him continue the story seemed to have a mouthful of phlegm stuck in their throats.

"Draw!"

"Someone save Nanami!"

【Current popularity 6.2%】

Li Nuo still doesn't paint.

He is waiting.

【Current popularity 6.5%】

He quickly changed the G pen tip, filled it with ink and continued drawing.

[But Marger is a road fool, he is lost]

This group of readers is already shouting.

On a certain website, a large number of abusive posts could not be deleted, and the company that signed Nanami was under great pressure.

It was the same for Wen Ke. He blocked all communications and unconditionally believed in Li Nuo's judgment.

For the audience or readers, they hated such shameless authors.

Very annoying!

[Current popularity 6.8%]

Li Nuo was very happy at this moment. He fulfilled one of his dreams, making readers unhappy without losing them.

The popularity continued to rise.

When Li Nuo's re-edited story was about to catch up with the pace of reality, the players also judged from the system's narration that the time was up.

Cha Bai took out the [Black Magic Encyclopedia].

She took out the voice-transmitting elf that had sent a message to Maljie not long ago, and let the elf fly. The wings flapping in the drizzle finally landed in front of the king.

The elf opened the portal.

In the comics, the white coat was raised like a hero's cloak.

The king stopped the violence in his hands.

It looked at Malger, who appeared like a "mechanical god", and their eyes met, as if there was a deep ravine.

Both of them said at the same time: "Hmph."

Li Nuo's pen tip quickly outlined Malger's face.

The audience saw that the picture frame on the screen seemed to have life, and it turned itself from the back to the front.

There was a shadow in the sky.

The moonlight tore through the darkness.

Malger's face, which seemed to have walked out of a girl's comic, occupied the entire picture frame.

This scene made almost everyone watching in Basel feel numbed in silence.

As Cha Bai commented on Malger, as long as he didn't open his mouth to speak, his visual lethality was extremely strong.

With the blessing of Li Nuo's painting skills, the silent male protagonist showed his face for the first time, and his handsome appearance and heroic appearance made the audience's sense of substitution completely exploded.

[Current popularity 8.5%]

At this moment, Infinite City and Minas City have completely turned into a black and white comic world.

[The popularity has exceeded 8%]

[Conditions have been met]

[The popularity has exceeded 8%, the progress has caught up with the real speed, the player level is 5900, and your brushstrokes can already change some of the characteristics of the protagonist]

[Hint: The protagonist halo of "King" has disappeared in front of your protagonist Maljie]

Li Nuo pressed the pen on the table.

"Why don't you draw?" asked the staff.

Li Nuo stared at Maljie in the comics.

"No need."

He picked up the thermos, unscrewed the bottle cap, sat down and took a sip, then said:

"I chose a tough and indestructible protagonist for you, who doesn't need fate to interfere with anything."
