Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 474 Rebellion against Tiangang
After all, before this, Lin Qingshan had heard several times that "The Gods" was going to be cut short.

It is definitely not something that happens suddenly when a comic work is cut short.

Before this, the work's popularity had dropped drastically, and the negative reviews from dissatisfied comic fans were all signs of its being cut short.

There is no doubt that in the past year or so, "Protoss" has destroyed all the reputation it had accumulated over the previous six or seven years.

Therefore, it is difficult for a work to establish an excellent reputation. It takes several years or even more than ten years.

But it is very easy to tear it down. It only takes one year, or even less than one year, and a few words to tear it all down.

For example, Yuta Akutami who called us, his work "Jujutsu Kaisen" in his previous life is a typical example. Before chapter 261, both the work itself and the comics author had an excellent reputation.

After Gojo Satoru was beheaded like a clown, his reputation took a sharp turn for the worse.

The same is true of Lin Qingshan’s previous life’s parallel world version of “The Gods”, “The Dragon Clan”. Its reputation took a sharp turn for the worse after the third part.

Until he traveled to this world, "The Dragon Tribe" and its author had been criticized.

However, he didn't expect that when he came to this world, the "God Clan" he met would have the same fate.

Moreover, the "God Clan" in this world seemed to be even more miserable than the "Dragon Clan" in his previous life, because he was cut in half...

There is no more part of "Dragon Clan", mainly because the author doesn't want to write anymore. It has been four years since the fifth part and there has been no sequel.

It can be said that it still retains a certain degree of decency.

But the "God Clan" in this world is different. He was beheaded and forced.

That would seem a bit miserable.

This is different from Akutami Yuta on the other end of the phone who seemed to be gloating.

"Ugh……"

Lin Qingshan sighed.

He still doesn't want to see the current situation. He really hopes that the "Protoss" in the parallel world can have a perfect ending.

After all, he was once a fan and liked this story very much.

He even thought about whether he should draw a "Dragon Clan" comic in this world and share it with comic fans in this world.

But after seeing Yang Shuzhun's drawing, he no longer had this idea.

But he still hopes that "Protoss" can have a good ending.

Unfortunately, the parallel world is not a completely fictional world.

Although "Protoss" is a revised version of a parallel world comic, it has basically gone through the path that "Dragon Clan" should have taken.

Naturally, this ending was inevitable.

But he thought about it, and first said to Akutami Yuta on the other end of the phone, "Okay, Yuta, I got it. I have something to call, so I'll hang up first."

"Ok."

Akutami Yuta just came over to share the fun he had just heard, and now after hearing what Lin Qingshan said, he had no choice but to hang up the phone.

However, because of this interesting story of "being cut off in half", he thought of a very good plot.

Later in the comics, in the final battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Gojo Satoru, Ryomen Sukuna, the strongest sorcerer in history, was cut in half and killed by Gojo Satoru, the strongest sorcerer of the present time.

Gojo Satoru will say something very beautiful at that time, which will definitely cause heated discussions among comic fans!

Lin Qingshan, who hung up the phone, didn't know that Akutami Yuta was thinking about such a "reverse" plot at the moment. He then found Ito Ayumi's phone number.

"Moses Moses!"

After he made the call, he said to the other end of the phone, "Hey! Ayumi!"

"Teacher? What can I do for you?"

Ito Ayumi asked curiously.

Now Lin Qingshan basically has no official business to ask her for.

Lin Qingshan's creation of "The Tao of Immortals" is now completely controlled by himself.

Moreover, the popularity of "Daoguiyixian" has been setting new highs, although the highest popularity limit is first.

But the number of comic fans will continue to increase.

Especially as the Internet has become more mature in recent years, people no longer rely on paper magazines to read comics.

This actually increased the number of people who read comics.

In the past, the number of people who read comics was probably less than one-tenth of the entire ACG interest circle.

After all, buying paper comic magazines and comic books takes time and requires more money.

But now you can read comics on your mobile phone anytime and anywhere, and the price of a single comic or one or two chapters of a comic is much lower than before.

So of course the number of comic fans has increased.

And this also requires a super popular comic work to take the lead.

Previously it was "Purple Air Coming from the East", which not only became a classic work in the comics industry, but was also highly praised by the higher authorities and promoted as a comic masterpiece that promotes the traditional culture of the Republic.

Now it is naturally "Tao Weird Immortal".

It also promotes the traditional culture of the Republic and is touted by the upper class as an excellent cultural work that criticizes and alludes to the various bad habits of the ancient old society.

With the added protection of criticizing the bad habits of the old society, "The Tao of Immortals" became completely unscrupulous and attracted more new comic fans to join in.

Therefore, "Daoguiyixian" does not need to worry about anything, nor does it need outsiders like Ito Ayumi to interfere in its comic creation.

Plus Lin Qingshan...his reputation has always been terribly stable.

Lin Qingshan's works have all received steady positive reviews since his debut.

It can be said that the popularity of his comics has declined, but the evaluation has never dropped significantly.

Even "Parasyte" is not very popular, but it is still rated as a masterpiece.

So Ito Ayumi was also very relieved and there was no need to have any unnecessary communication with Lin Qingshan about work.

Lin Qingshan is also very understanding and will not disturb Ito Ayumi when she is at work and increase her workload.

So he called Ito Ayumi at this time, and Ito Ayumi was very surprised.

"Is such that."

Lin Qingshan said directly, "Actually, I would like to ask Ayumi to ask Mr. Itchy Mouse's editor for his contact information."

"Teacher Itchy Mouse's contact information?"

Ito Ayumi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Teacher, do you know that "The Gods" was cut short?"

"Oh, I see."

Lin Qingshan on the other end of the phone scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to provoke you. I just want to say something to Teacher Itchy Mouse."

"Teacher, you'd better not provoke the other party."

Ito Ayumi said helplessly, "That teacher must be in a particularly bad mood right now."

"Relax, am I that kind of person?"

Lin Qingshan blinked and said, "I just wanted to encourage Teacher Yangyangshu, and say something else."

"OK then."

Of course, Ito Ayumi thinks that Lin Qingshan has good character.

Although he seems a little weird at ordinary times, he is a really nice person.

There is absolutely no intention to provoke or ridicule competitors.

She went to ask her colleague Gudean, and after a conversation, Gudean chose to give her Yang Shuzhun's contact number.

Ayumi Ito sent Yang Shuzhun's contact number to Lin Qingshan.

But after getting the phone, Lin Qingshan became a little hesitant again.

Call...what should I say?

And just then...

"Ding-dong-"

The sound of the villa door opening could be heard. Gu Qianli was also returning home from get off work. "Qianli! You're back!"

Lin Qingshan immediately said to her with a smile.

"Green Mountain."

Looking at Lin Qingshan's familiar face, Gu Qianli smiled happily.

Every time, she felt that after seeing Lin Qingshan, the fatigue from work disappeared immediately.

Sometimes, she was a little dazed, wondering when they became a couple.

Every day when she came back from work and saw Lin Qingshan, her heart was filled with warmth.

Come to think of it… they have known each other for eight years, so they are not young anymore.

She always felt that she was getting older, even though Yang Zhihan, Li Zhiqiu and others said that they didn't look older at all.

But it is a fact that she is almost thirty years old now.

Lin Qingshan is already 33 years old this year, but when Gu Qianli looked at his eyes, he really had an illusion.

It was as if he was still the same as when I first met him.

But her face will age.

So Gu Qianli also wanted...

"We...Site C is about to go public."

Gu Qianli suddenly said, "It's so fast, Station C has been established for more than five years..."

"Yeah, time really flies by."

Lin Qingshan also felt a little emotional, and suddenly he did some calculations at this time.

It seemed that when he first came through, his ID card showed that he was already 25 years old.

So now it’s been one, two, three, four…seven, eight…eight years.

He is already thirty-three years old.

What about Qianli?
Qianli is probably twenty-seven years old now.

Is it time for them to get married or something?
Lin Qingshan suddenly remembered that during this year's Chinese New Year, Gu Qianli's grandparents seemed to have asked about this matter.

Later, he seemed to be overwhelmed by busy affairs and his memory of this incident was drowned out.

But he wasn't quite sure what Gu Qianli would think.

Qianli is a strong career woman. If she gets married now, will it affect her career?

Lin Qingshan didn't think he could replace Gu Qianli's job easily, although he had the ability to do so.

But he still felt that if Gu Qianli put her career first, it would be better to respect her wishes.

After all, Qianli is not just his subordinate.

But...what if Qianli has the same idea as him?
As a man, he should be more proactive.

So... give it a try.

Lin Qingshan immediately asked cautiously, "Qianli... Actually, I've always thought, how about we get engaged first?"

Engagement is not marriage, it just confirms the relationship.

No matter what Gu Qianli wants to do at that time, he will cooperate.

Gu Qianli was stunned, because... all this was really too unexpected.

She covered her mouth, and then stammered, "Of course... of course I am willing!"

She dreamed of Lin Qingshan saying this!

Suddenly, Lin Qingshan remembered something and said, "Oh, right... I'm proposing to you, so I can't be so casual."

"wait a second!"

He turned and went back into the room.

but it is……

Summoning system, flowers, engagement ring...all arranged!

Then he turned on the home audio system and played the BGM!

"Beep!"

Lin Qingshan walked towards Gu Qianli with a smile, holding the flowers and the ring.

The two of them hugged each other with happy smiles on their faces.

……

An apartment in Shanghai.

It was like a painter's studio, with drawings, brushes and stands scattered all over the floor.

It seemed as if it had been violently thrown to the ground, causing a mess on the ground. It was also obvious that the person who created this scene must be in great pain.

Yang Shuzhun, who had done all this and destroyed the room like this, was now lying on the ground helplessly in a spread-eagle position.

His eyes behind his glasses looked ashen.

"I was cut in half..."

Yang Shuzhun still couldn't believe it and said, "I was cut off... No, I am obviously... the strongest cartoonist of the new generation!"

How ambitious he once was, how disheartened he is now.

Originally, he was still working hard on drawing the next scene in which Henkel came to Casal College to inform the secret party of the news about their doomsday faction.

He felt...that he still had a chance to turn things around.

"Protoss" still has a chance to reverse its current low popularity!
But the reality is that he no longer has this opportunity.

The comic industry held a meeting this afternoon, and the editor-in-chief Yang Dahai directly announced that "Protoss" would be cancelled.

And then... Yang Shuzhun's editor-in-chief, Gu De'an, called to inform him.

"Protoss" is over. It was not even given a chance to conclude and was simply cut short.

Because of its low popularity, after the story of the conflict between Yang Mingfei and his biological parents was serialized last week, fans were all cursing.

All comic fans have been completely disappointed with "Protoss", which led to the popularity of "Protoss" last week, but it turned out to be...

the last one!

So it is impossible not to cut it in half.

If it was originally ranked last, it might not be as serious as falling directly from the first in popularity to the last.

After all, it is completely impossible for someone to fall from being the most popular person to being the last one.

"What's all my hard work for so long? Can't you see my efforts?"

Yang Shuzhun found it hard to accept this, so he pushed everything to the ground, and started making a scene in rage and frustration.

Even his newly hired assistant was kicked out by him.

He didn't know what to do now, his dream, everything he had worked for...

Could it be that it was because he was indeed a little too arrogant that this outcome happened?

For the first time, Yang Shuzhun realized that... he seemed to be wrong.

He has also changed, from humbly listening to the opinions of editor Gudean and comic fans at the beginning to being stubborn and self-willed now.

He recalled that Lin Qingshan had wanted to give him advice but was rejected outright by him.

Now that "The Gods" has been cut short, not only is the popularity of Lin Qingshan's comic "The Tao of Immortal" still rising, but even the animation series he produced is also quite popular.

Instead, he rejected Lin Qingshan's kindness.

Doesn't this make him look like a clown now?
