Chapter 143 Meeting and Negotiation

The next day, Chapter 21 of Parasite Beast was successfully released along with the journal "Liu Li".

Due to the surge in popularity of Parasite Beast during this period, and the fact that Parasite Beast was serialized in "Liu Li", this work became more and more famous.

In addition, the topics discussed in the work are indeed higher level than other light novels.

What the fate of mankind.

The meaning of life.

Evolution and Competition of Species

You can say that the plot of Parasite is not to your taste, but its plot connotation is definitely rich among two-dimensional works.

More people praise it, which naturally leads to more sales of single copies of this work.

Some readers of the journal Liuli buy the single volume of Parasite Beast to supplement the content of the previous novel.

In the twenty-one chapters of the novel, the plot that shocks readers the most is this.

Everyone thought that the man who was competing for mayor was surrounded and protected by a group of parasitic beasts, and he was also a parasitic beast.

But in this chapter, his identity is revealed.

It's human.

A human who cooperates with a parasitic beast.

After the human government discovered the identity of the parasitic beast organization gang headed by him, it faced a group of soldiers pointing guns at him.

"What kind of environmental protection? This is just an extreme idea thought up by human beings. What to protect? What we are protecting is the human living environment."

"Why don't you admit this? You should consider all living things, not just the reproduction of human beings. Only then can you be worthy of the spirit of all things. You can only keep shouting slogans of justice. Where is the real justice?"

"Compared with the parasitic beasts that are parasitic on humans and responsible for the balance of the biological world, aren't humans the parasites that eat away at the world? They are not the parasitic beasts that are parasitic on the world."

Along with the soldiers' bullets.

This man who was mixed up in the parasitic beast gang and wanted to change the living world with the help of parasitic beasts, after expressing his inner thoughts

Fell in a pool of blood.

And his death also led to the attack of Goto, the strongest monster in the work Parasite Beast.

The plot of this chapter is not refreshing at all.

However, it still makes readers think deeply.

The more I watch, the more depressing I feel, but the more I watch, the more I want to keep watching.

That's how Parasite fans are feeling right now.

In fact, the best thing about the whole work is the collision of ideas between the protagonist and the parasitic beasts, and the exchange of worldviews and values ​​between the two species.

As for the fighting plot, most readers are actually not interested at all.

It is a combat novel, but what readers are most looking forward to is not the combat plot in the novel.

In this issue, Parasite is still ranked sixth in the journal’s readers’ voting rankings.

But its vote growth is still huge.

Moreover, after this chapter of this work was serialized, fans' evaluation of this work on the forum reached a new level.

"That mayor is human."

"Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this setting."

"At a time when the struggle between humans and parasitic beasts is raging, this mayor candidate looks at the relationship between the two species and the world from a more objective perspective, and it is exactly what he said when it comes to the disasters and damage caused to the natural world. , the proportion of parasitic beasts is less than one ten thousandth of that of humans.”

"Parasite beasts are monsters that parasitize humans. The idea that humans are monsters that parasitize the world, I feel, directly sublimates the theme of this work."

"Compared to To the Moon, this work is not as touching, but the depth of the work is even better."

"Before Chapter 21 was serialized, I still liked going to the moon more, but now, I feel like I like parasitic beasts more."

"I don't know how the fight between humans and parasitic beasts will end? There are only three chapters left, and the work of parasitic beasts will be over. I feel so sad to leave it."

"There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. For a work as heavy as Parasite Beast, it is best to end it just right. It would be bad if the character design falls apart if it is too long."

"Too."

"Everyone, please vote for this work. This work is currently ranked sixth on "Liu Li" and has also participated in the selection of the "Emperor Star Award". This makes other novel fans see how embarrassed we are? Think we are Readers of Parasite support verbally. People who cannot afford to vote should hurry up and vote, and buy more journals. Each person in the family can vote with their real name. "

After the Parasitic Beast was successfully serialized in the journal "Liu Li", the Parasitic Beast also often appeared in Dragon Kingdom's top novel critics and media publications.

Moreover, with the support of Liuli Publishing House, posters of Parasitic Beasts have also begun to appear in major bookstores, subway stations, airports, and on bus GGs throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

Parasite's single-book sales actually rebounded in the second week after its release.

In mid-March, the plot of Chapter 22 of Parasite Beast was successfully serialized.

The basic content of this chapter is the fight between the protagonist and the big boss Goto, and there is nothing too explosive.

Therefore, the popularity and votes of the novel have basically remained unchanged, maintaining the sixth place in the "Liu Li" journal.

Xia Yan took a long breath after seeing this result.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom light novel world is also very powerful. Although Parasite is a powerful work, it is not a novel with a passionate and exciting theme after all. The fan audience is limited. In this case, it is really difficult to accumulate in a short time. It has enough fan popularity to help this work be listed in the "Liu Li" journal where excellent works are gathered, replicating its brilliant achievements in "Liu Li Color".

March 14

A full half month after Xia Yan started school, he received another text message from Mo Ran, asking him to come to the social gathering.

She had been busy drawing her comic strip for a while, so much so that she hadn't contacted Xia Yan, the only member of the comic club, for half a month since school started.

As soon as Xia Yan left, he saw her in a light green ancient dress, her hair in a bun, fair skin, beautiful lips, red lips and white teeth, lying on the table with a sad face.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yan blinked at her expression and asked.

"It's nothing." After Mo Ran glanced at Xia Yan, her expression became even more depressed.

"Well, there's something you can tell me." Xia Yan looked at her expression, thought of what she had been doing recently, and tried to ask you a question.

"The comic book you collaborated with your senior from the light novel club didn't do very well, didn't it?"

"I can't say it's not good." Mo Ran hesitated.

"It's very bad. Yang Na and I, well, the senior sister we work with, received a call from the comic club last night. This comic has been cut in half. Let us use the comic in the submission next week. The content of this chapter is summarized."

"This" Xia Yan's expression froze when he heard this.

The journal you serialize is a comic journal for children that is only published in the Magic City area, right? The total weekly sales are tens of thousands of copies. Just for a comic like this to be serialized, your works are still being cut in half?

How does the story of that senior's work have to collapse in the later stage so that even comics with Mo Ran's drawing skills can't save it?

"Well, victory and defeat are normal things in life. Failure always runs through the life of ordinary people." Xia Yan paused for a moment, but still comforted the angry girl in front of him.

"What about you? Why haven't you suffered from failure throughout your life? I feel so unconvincing when a successful person like you says this." When Mo Ran said this, his eyes turned red, but he still asked jokingly.

Mo Ran really envied Xia Yan. She became famous right after her debut. Only her fourth light novel was directly upgraded and serialized in "Liu Li". Compared with it, her persistence in the past few years was simply a joke.

"Because... I'm probably not an ordinary person." Xia Yan joked.

What ordinary person often watches other people's memories like watching a movie at night?

"What about you and that senior? Are there any future cooperation plans?" Upon hearing this, Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and began to inquire about the news.

"No, I broke up with her this time."

"A breakup?"

"She attributed the reason why this cooperative comic was cut in half to my lack of drawing skills, so I got into an argument with her. I was busy drawing every night. I don't say how good my drawing is, but at least in In the same issue of that small comics company, none of the comics are of higher quality than mine in terms of illustrations. If she says that our cooperation this time is not enough, which leads to problems in the serialization, it is a pity, and I can accept it. . But I can’t accept criticism of the paintings I put in my best efforts every day.”

After Mo Ran finished speaking aggrievedly, she picked up a comic on the bookcase of the comic club's activity room and began to read it out of boredom to calm down her inner anger.

"Xia Yan." Mo Ran looked at the comic page, boredom and anxiety growing on her beautiful and delicate face, and she suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xia Yan was studying the handwritten notes on animation storyboard techniques that Mo Ran wrote to him.

After all, the activities of the comic club are basically studying comics and reading comics.

At most, Mo Ran taught Xia Yan some music theory knowledge before.

"How did a genius like you come up with those excellent and interesting works...such as Parasitic Beasts and Going to the Moon? Under what circumstances did you create these works?" Mo Ran asked.

Her expression was also very nervous. After all, this kind of thing was a bit like stealing from a master. Xia Yan might get angry.

"Just take a nap and you'll be fine." Xia Yan thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"The plot of the novel all came to my mind in my dream."

This is true.

"Really?" Mo Ran raised her head and looked at Xia Yan with a confused expression.

"Really. I lied to you like a puppy."

"Alas" Mo Ran heard this and looked at Xia Yan's expression carefully. After a long time, she was hit again.

Her intuition told her that Xia Yan was not lying.

"Is this genius?"

"Well, can I ask more?" Xia Yan thought for a moment.

"After your collaborative comic was cut in half, are you ready to give up drawing comics?"

After all, after working hard for so many years, I finally got the chance to serialize a comic. Less than three months after the series was published, it was forcibly cut off by the comic book club. This kind of blow was a bit big for a college girl. It would be very difficult for her to give up comics just like this. possible.

"How is that possible?" Mo Ran looked at Xia Yan with a smile on her face.

"Even if I break up with my senior from the light novel club, I can still persevere on my own. Xia Yan, you may be able to get inspiration from a dream and slowly come up with an excellent novel."

"I don't have the talent you have, but I think if I keep racking my brains for ten years, I should be able to come up with a comic with an excellent plot." Mo Ran took a deep breath and said.

Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this.

There are also people like this who do things for the sake of love, regardless of performance.

"That. I admire your idea."

"But what I mean is, after you broke up with that senior sister, you are not ready to give up comics, and you also realize that your story creation ability is insufficient. Have you ever thought about finding another person to cooperate with you?"

"Cooperate with others? Who?" Mo Ran asked suspiciously.

"For example, me." Xia Yan said when he saw the right opportunity.

Today he just wanted to ask Mo Ran tentatively if she had time, but he didn't expect that she had so many things happen during this period.

Anyway, if he really wanted to find someone to cooperate with him on comics, a stranger whose personality and character Xia Yan didn't know, then he would still be willing to trust Mo Ran.

This guy is really a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have taught Xia Yan a lot of music theory and storyboard painting knowledge for free last semester.
