Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 185 Time Newspaper Industry
After sending away Adolf, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and was giggling all the way, Amanda prepared pen and paper, burned incense, took a bath, and started writing a new comic script.

After racking her brains to write a new three-episode series, Amanda slumped in her chair and couldn't get up.

Fortunately, when we were preparing for the end of Chapter [-], we left enough foreshadowing to lead to the rest of the story. Otherwise, if the academy headquarters was demolished in the comics, what would the next monsters do?

Demolishing landmarks around the world?

After getting ready to go to class and spending a peaceful week, Amanda completed five more chapters one after another, which was enough to keep Adolf alive for at least a month and a half.

As for the people sent by the church to contact them, Amanda handed them over to Adolf to receive them.

Adolf was already a graduate student of a professor and was just waiting to complete his graduation project. In addition, the professor actually didn't pay much attention to him, so Amanda just let this partner practice negotiating with others in advance.

The latter seems to be very happy with this job, which is much better than having no presence under the professor.

At the weekend of this week, Amanda began to crazily make up homework. Although Abtis suggested that he could submit a Sheffield-sealed report to avoid all academic tasks at this stage, but due to some kind of DNA drive of the question-answering instinct, Amanda couldn't help but began to write these homework, which was probably at the middle school level.

In a sense, this behavior can also be regarded as a kind of enjoyment.

Just like a college graduate who writes homework for junior high school, he will find it simple and happy, which can be regarded as edifying the body and mind.

After finishing all her homework, Amanda prepared to go to San Francisco for a walk on the second day of the weekend.

The last time I went out in the city, it was at a cross-dressing night. Although it was not a dark night, it was a festive atmosphere after all, and it was still a little different from the usual city appearance.

He also wanted to see how his comics performed in the city, especially in the eyes of children.

Those children are very important. After all, Tiga's Shine and Nexus' Large Code are likely to be among these children.

Although for this comic, Adolf said it was very popular and received the support of a bishop with a bad taste, in case the comics are read by adults.

Is it possible that when a middle-aged uncle shouts "Come on, Ultraman!", Xiao Nai can remember his large password?
Or maybe a pair of uncles and aunts stretch out their arms, turn into light and shine, and run towards them. It feels like there is something wrong with the style of the painting when you think about it.

Amanda had some goosebumps and quickly shook her head to throw away the strange fantasies in her mind.

As soon as he went out, he saw Qi Wen carrying a huge box on a trolley within a few steps, as if he was preparing to send it somewhere.

Amanda decided to take a detour and was about to avoid this road. As soon as she turned around, she heard Qi Wen calling:

"Hey, Amanda! What a coincidence. I have something to deliver to Time Newspaper. I remember your comic about Giant of Light was serialized in this newspaper. I'll drive over, come with me."

Um?Is the newspaper where the comics are serialized the Times?

It didn't sound like a slam dunk at all, and I hadn't noticed the name of this newspaper before.

No matter, I want to go to the city to see it anyway. If there is a car, it will be free of charge.

A few minutes later, Amanda stood in the rear loading position of the truck, which was already very close to a small truck, holding on to the large box that might fall at any time.

Qi Wen was driving the vehicle. Although the road in the city was smooth, he still felt like he was driving on a bumpy road.

Amanda was curious about what was in this big box. Listening to the vibration of the things inside, it looked like there were metal parts.

However, isn't Qi Wen worried about this thing being damaged at all?The sound of collision and squeezing made me worried.

Staggered to the newspaper office, this time newspaper can be regarded as an industry invested by local rich people, focusing on old anecdotes, urban legends from all over the world and so on.

However, the quality is really poor, and only a small number of die-hard fans can watch it.

Qi Wen pushed the cart and asked Amanda to hold the box while introducing the owner of the newspaper.Qi Wen is also very interested in Amanda's comics and has many connections.

The boss of the newspaper industry was the nephew of the rich man. In order to prove that he had business acumen, he turned to the college and the church. He knew that the college and church recorded some weird stories that ordinary people had no access to.

Although Amanda felt that after enrolling in school, she really wanted to see everyone know what Evil God Pollution is, but in fact, in the eyes of the real public, Evil God Pollution is still a kind of nothingness that monsters and chaotic gods should stay away from.

90.00% of people will never come into contact with it in their lifetime.

Because of this, the boss took a deviant approach and frantically used his money power to contact the professors of the college and the bishop of the church, preparing for both parties to blossom.

It turned out that the professor was just a favor and sent Amanda's comics over.

The boss himself likes this story very much. However, the current readers are equivalent to those who read Liaozhai in the past. Now that a book of Three Kingdoms is suddenly presented with a grand narrative, it still takes some time to accept it.

It is even more difficult for children who are Amanda’s target audience to be exposed to this story.

So much so that by the tenth chapter, this comic was close to being circulated in a small circle.

It wasn't until the boss finally contacted the church with the newspaper that the story of the comic's resurrection from the dead came out that Adolf later told Amanda.

After receiving the investment from the church, the boss frantically advertised, printed more copies, and prepared a bound volume.

There is even a humanoid signboard of Ultraman Tiga placed at the door. It seems that he is very business-minded and already knows how to deal with peripheral products.

Amanda was walking in the hall, listening to Qi Wen's introduction to the boss, and suddenly felt a little confused and asked:
"According to what you say, isn't this boss short of money? Why wait until the church invests before making such a big deal?"

Qi Wen laughed and replied: "Who told you that investment must be money? The bishops of the church are all ascetics, where does the money come from? Their investment is a channel. No matter how many newspapers the Times newspaper printed in the past, It can only be sold in this city. But now with the church's promotion, it can be sold all over the country and even the world. Although the comic version promoted by church schools and welfare institutions is a bound volume, the logo of Time Newspaper will still be reserved."

Amanda nodded, he was still a little confused, that is, who is the bishop? Is it possible that he really supported this comic because he felt comfortable with the image of the college headquarters being destroyed by monsters in the comic?

Seeing Amanda's confusion, Qi Wen continued to explain:
"Don't think too much. Every year, the bishops try to stuff their own money into the church's internal document issuance once or twice. The market for cultural works in the church is also huge. If you have one more book, it won't be too much, and if you have one copy less, it won't be too much. At most. It’s just that the bishop started talking when he was happy. Do you really think that the bishop admires your comics so much?”
