"Be careful on the road, I may call you over in a few days."

"Okay, Teacher He Xi, don't send it away!"

The two chess players left the apartment and took the elevator, they sighed almost at the same time.

"It's amazing..."

"Yes, no matter whether Mr. He Xi has learned Go before or not, he must have never learned Go under the guidance of a professional player. He can reach this level, which proves that he is very talented. It's a pity..."

Mu Teng's eyes suddenly darkened. Tonight's game proved He Xi's absolute talent.

He has reached the level of a professional chess player without formal learning and guidance, which shows how outstanding his talent is. If he could be discovered when he was young, He Xi may now be a shining new star in the Chinese Go world up.

But this kind of thing is not uncommon. This is the current situation of Huaxia Go. Huaxia has never lacked talented children. The problem is that the Go world has no way to keep these children. Every year, many promising children leave Go because of society and parents. They feel that Go has no future.

To solve this problem, people's perception of Go can only be changed essentially.

"Well, forget it, anyway, it's a good thing that Teacher He Xi is good, so we don't have to worry too much about the quality of the Go cartoons he draws."

Fujiwara comforted, Muto thought so too, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Many people worry that cartoonists who don't know Go can't draw Go well, but they will all be stunned. He Xi's level of chess skills is there, and the new comics are an extra layer of guarantee.

"But there is only more than a week left, I don't know if I can make it in time..."

The two chess players thought in their hearts that comics require a lot of energy, but Meng Huo's progress is much faster than they expected. After getting the first sentence of the game this night, he has already completed "Soul of Chess" The creation of the first chapter.

On this new comic, Meng Huo increased his speed. The next day, after he installed the manuscript of Chapter 1, he recalculated the time. It was more than a week before the comic was released.

If he seized this time and used his psionic powers, he could still draw the original manuscripts of the two chapters.

"..."

Meng Huo considered whether to draw it or not. Although there was still time before the release, the preview had to be released in the magazine tomorrow, so he had to make some decisions. At noon, Meng Huo called Ye Xiong—he was going to launch a three-episode "Soul of Chess" in next week's "Weekly Youth".

"Three words!?" Ye Xiong was taken aback: "Mr. He Xi, are you joking? Can you draw the original manuscript of Sanhua?"

He knew Meng Huo's work situation very well, and it was basically impossible to draw three episodes of "Soul of Chess" in two weeks.

"Well, I've already drawn a chapter, count the time, I can catch up."

Meng Huo replied that he would not allow Ye Xiong to refuse, his manuscripts were no longer even reviewed, and several editorial departments would rush to ask for them. Although Ye Xiong thought it was unbelievable, He Xi had too many miraculous things.

Three episodes is three episodes, which does no harm to the magazine.

"I'll arrange it right away."

Ye Xiong agreed, and a day later, "Weekly Youth" was released as scheduled, and the serial information of "Soul of Chess" was put on the cover.

As early as the press conference, Meng Huo announced that the serial magazine of "Soul of Chess" is "Weekly Boy", so many reporters are paying attention to the release of "Weekly Boy" on this day, wanting to see if there is any serial information, so that Judging whether He Xi can release new comics on time.

However, the cover of "Weekly Boys" let them down. Not only is the serialization trailer printed on this cover, but it is also the serialization trailer of the three episodes.

"There are only three episodes in the first issue, this speed is too amazing!"

"The press conference has just ended, Teacher He Xi's movements are so fast, she is like a model worker in a cartoon family!"

The preview of "Soul of Chess" has been released, and serialization has become inevitable. Many newspapers have praised He Xi's high efficiency. They are not stupid enough to question Phoenix's release of fake news. This is obviously impossible. , "Weekly Shonen" magazine has been launched so far, there has not been a series of serial previews that have been wrong.

That is to say, next week's "Soul of Chess" will definitely have three episodes. This not only surprised the reporters, but also excited the readers who bought the magazine.

"I didn't expect there to be three chapters. It seems that I can't miss "Soul of Chess"!"

"There are only three chapters in the first serialization. It must be very enjoyable to read. Go comics are also worth reading!"

The trailer of the three-episode serialization brought not only surprises, but also its attractiveness. After hearing that it was a Go manga, many readers were not too cold. However, after three words, its concept is different at once, and this amount can be seen very well-after all, it is He Xi's work, so you can read it no matter whether you are interested or not.

Of course, this preview is not all good news, it also brought a certain degree of negative impact.

Among all the negative effects, the most prominent is the renewed doubts about the quality of manga. Regarding this Go manga, as early as when He Xi announced it, its quality has always been a matter of concern to everyone. No matter how capable He Xi is, can he really draw Go manga well if he doesn't know Go?

"Is "Soul of Chess" a manga that He Xi really wants to draw? Or is it his game work? Originally, I didn't like Go manga, but now I say that I will release three episodes at once next week, so I can't be more optimistic about it!"

"Although I have always been a supporter of Teacher He Xi, but this time I also started to worry..."

"Three words in two weeks, but please don't forget that Mr. He Xi has other jobs at the same time. The time is too short. It is impossible not to worry about the quality of "Soul of Chess"! Is there any inside story about Phoenix Company? Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry?"

On the Internet, there are posts and speeches that are not optimistic about "Soul of Chess". Even on the forum of He Xi's House, many loyal fans have doubts about "Soul of Chess". The theme is unfamiliar and the time is so short. People like it.

If it wasn't the work of the cartoonist He Xi, it would have been one-sided by now.

"Teacher He Xi's reputation is really high." After "Weekly Youth" was released, Tomato and the others were also paying attention to the news of "Soul of Chess". After seeing a series of online reviews, they had to lament He Xi's high reputation.

As a deadly rival, Zhongxia Company also specially conducted a survey for "Soul of Chess" on its forum, the main content was to ask forum members whether "Soul of Chess" would become the worst work of cartoonist He Xi.

The results of the survey are very interesting. Among the thousands of manga readers who participated in the survey, 85% of them chose "probably He Xi's worst manga".

""Soul of Chess" has all the conditions to become Teacher He Xi's worst cartoon!"

After counting the opinions of comic readers, this survey report shows that almost everyone believes that "Soul of Chess" is He Xi's worst choice of material. This comic has all the characteristics of becoming the "worst" comic, and everyone can Give several reasons.

The two core reasons are 'don't read Go comics' and 'can't understand Go comics'. In fact, the vast majority of comic readers are disappointed with the selection of "Go Soul"-they would rather read mahjong than read Go is such a boring and strange thing.

On the other hand, although readers are generally not optimistic, more than half of them are still asking, "Will you buy next week's Weekly Shonen?" ’ On this question, I chose the two options of ‘depending on the situation, maybe’ and ‘definitely’.

This indicates that more than half of the readers are willing to try to read "Soul of Chess". This is quite a remarkable ratio. It must be known that this survey was conducted on Zhongxia Company's forum. If the survey is conducted on He Xi's Home Forum, the proportion will increase further.

There is only one reason for this situation...

"The fascination with He Xi in the comics industry has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is almost impossible to surpass."

After many years of accumulation, the current cartoonist He Xi has established a firm foothold. Whether it is Phoenix Company or Zhongxia Company, all comic readers are willing to believe in him, and it is not easy to be shaken—even if "Soul of Chess" has so many Not optimistic about the reasons, but readers are still willing to try.

"Whether it's good or not, you'll have to read it to know." This is their common thinking. Trying a comic that may be bad by He Xi with the cost of a magazine is still better than spending money to read other cartoonists. Comic bang for the buck.

"This is the winner takes all." Yu Feihang commented on the survey in the next day's newspaper: "The angels of Zhongxia Company are working hard for He Xi. They want to take all comic readers, so He Xi is the same ...But in fact, it’s not just the readers who take He Xi’s food.”

What He Xi eats is not only readers, but also his colleagues: cartoonists.

In another report dedicated to the investigation of the frontiers of comics development, recently large and small comic companies have begun to show the shadow of "technical" comics, especially some sensitive small comic companies, encouraging cartoonists, Raise the development of this kind of comics to the top priority.

Few people have noticed these phenomena, the reasons are unclear, and the future is even more unpredictable, but Yu Feihang believes that they have nothing to do with He Xi's incident, and there must be reasons worth exploring.

Unlike those companies, the cartoonists in Phoenix Company couldn't hold back anymore—but the reason why they couldn't hold back was not because they wanted to draw new comics, but because of the special significance of He Xi's new comics.

After a long time, He Xi released a new comic. According to the usual practice, this incident also means: He Xi will probably need a new assistant after a while.

"Mr. He Xi's assistant position must not be given up to others!"

The cartoonists couldn't resist the temptation to take on any new assistant. For a while, hundreds of cartoonists in various regions of the Phoenix Company were restless, fighting openly and secretly for the position of the new assistant.
