MTL - Manga Guidebook-Chapter 18 short story

After experimenting with his abilities, Chen Zijun understood the usage of his abilities.

Now, he has started to fill up again with his motivation to create comics, and he is full of motivation.

He has the idea of ​​creating comics again. Of course, it can't be a long novel. His ability is not enough.

He can only choose short stories again. What should the magazine do? Magazines that specialize in short comics are quite rare. After thinking about it, he logged into his QQ and sent a message to the editor.

"Is Gong Shaoyuan editor here?"

At this time, Gong Shaoyuan was working overtime. Because he was a newcomer, overtime had long been the norm. He was eating with a bucket of instant noodles, while he was reading a comic book in the other hand. .

"There haven't been any talented writers recently. Hey, when will I be able to have my own dedicated teacher?" Gong Shaoyuan lamented a little. He was fascinated by the editor with his own comic writer, but he was all hired. After so long, he is still in charge of chores. Among them, there are not many authors with Simon Magazine, which is also an important reason.

Nail nails.

Suddenly, a voice sounded, it was his QQ, someone sent him a message, he opened it, and it turned out to be the teacher 'April Breeze', the news immediately made him energized.

"Yes, what's wrong with the teacher?"

April Breeze (Chen Zijun): "I want to draw a short comic and submit it to Ximeng Magazine."

Oh roar.

Gong Shaoyuan's eyes lit up and he typed: "Of course you can, we warmly welcome you."

April Breeze (Chen Zijun): "So, regarding the direction of the new work, I would like to discuss it with you. I wonder if the editor has time to come out and meet."

Gong Shaoyuan: "I can do it anytime. It depends on the teacher's schedule."

April Breeze (Chen Zijun): "Then let's go on Sunday, the place..."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Gong Shaoyuan was a little excited. For a rookie editor, this opportunity is not too many. As long as he grasps it well, then the April Breeze teacher may make himself responsible. He can't help but imagine himself in his mind. After the teacher's fire, he embarked on the story of editing the pinnacle of his life.

Seeing that he agreed, Chen Zijun couldn't help but nodded. Next, he couldn't help thinking about the short comics he was going to choose.

In fact, in his mind, there are many excellent and even supernatural short comics, all of which are not available in this world, but... he is reluctant to use them.

My family knows their own affairs, and their strength is not qualified to restore these gods to perfection. Rather than being ruined by myself, it is better to stay in my mind and wait for the strength to be shown to the world.

Anyway, he had seen a lot of brain holes in the night in his previous life, and some of them were quite surprising or interesting. Just pick any one and just practice writing, that's what he thought.

He is an online short story "Light, Short, Loose" that he has seen on the Internet in his previous life. It is called "Self-Knowing Knowing People". It is a short story that he quite likes, and the flip at the end is even more surprising. God, therefore, he decided to use this.

The novel is a first-person narrative, so he will not change it and still use me to tell it.

However, instead of starting to draw, he took out the storyboard and started to draw storyboards. Storyboards are the basis of comics and animations. When meeting with the editor, he won't show the finished product to him, but takes precedence over storyboards. , After the editing is approved, the cartoonist will turn it into a finished cartoon. After all, after the finished product is edited, if it needs to be modified, the workload of modification is not generally large.

"Self-Knowing People" tells that 'I' had the gift of seeing numbers since I was a child. Because I was very young, I didn't know the secret of this number, but when I was five years old, I saved my life because of this number. At a corner, every time he took a step, the number in his eyes would shrink. When it was about to reach zero, he stopped. At this moment, a car whistled from the front. According to the trajectory just now, he stopped. No doubt he would be killed, but he was unscathed because of the stops.

As he grew up, he understood that this number represented the lifespan of 'I'.

When he was in the high school entrance examination, he took the questions seriously. After completing the last question, the number in his eyes was a lot less. After calculation, he did not make a mistake. Losing five years of life, five years of life, for a good choice, this decision is not difficult to choose, he finally chose a high score.

He got a high score as he wished, but on that day, because he slipped on the stairs, his number decreased a little. From that moment, he paid attention to the flow of time in his eyes all the time. This was... his life.

Sometimes there are accidents. When a bus was about to pass through the tunnel, the number in his eyes turned to zero. Ignoring the scolding eyes of other people's surprised friends, he got off the bus, and the result was that the tunnel It collapsed, and no one in the bus survived except him.

From that moment, 'he' became more and more silent, afraid of the decrease in the number in his eyes. After graduating, he became the chief officer of a health care product company. He was not proficient, but he could know the effect on people. Put the medicine on the skin, and the number in his eyes is a failure. No reduction is a success.

Originally, he would have thought that he would live like this until he died, but one day, because of a mistake, he mixed a new reagent, and when it was applied to the skin, the number in his eyes increased. This is increasing life expectancy, something that was never possible before.

He was crazy, he wrote down the ingredients, secretly researched every day, every new ingredient added, he would observe, with the continuous research, the number that this medicine can increase is more and more, he feels that he has developed a longevity Elixir, one day, he finally stuck the reagent into his body.

After that, it was from the reporter's perspective. The reporter received a report that a pharmaceutical factory suspected that there were unknown creatures. She came here with an idea of ​​interest. After all, who would really believe in monsters, but when he was researching reagents every day In the laboratory of , a monster appeared in the world, and in the eyes of the monster, the rising numbers were reflected.

This is not a monster, but a zombie.

This is the whole article.

A very exciting story with an astonishing reversal. It is not just a novel, but if it is turned into a comic, it is also very exciting.

And Chen Zijun just wanted to use this to make comics by hand.

Thinking of this, Chen Zijun did not hesitate. He first wrote the main story of the plot on a piece of paper, and then began to draw the storyboard.
