Chapter 263 Chapter 262 New Comics

Yan Shi curiously clicked on the cover art and discovered that the comic had a very long name.

Starting from Zero: From a discriminated-against mixed-race individual to a savior through his innate talent!

The title has essentially outlined the main points.

In the bottom section for the main character, the comic's protagonist is named Xu Xiqiao.

Yan Shi: ?

She glanced at it again, looking suspicious.

That's right, it's Xuxi Bridge, not Linxi Bridge.

Like "The Curse of the Laws," this book, "Starting from Zero...", has only been serialized for a few chapters, yet it has already occupied the central recommendation position on Qiman.

In the latest comments, readers are filled with question marks.

[What?! A new artist, a new comic just released a few days ago, no updates, no data, and it's already beaten out big hits and got featured on CCTV?! Qiman, do you even know what you're doing?!]

Is this the power of capital? The work of Qiman's crown prince? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

[Those who blindly praise him will be struck by lightning; please be aware.]

The plot and outline are a complete mess. Is the protagonist really a discriminated-against mixed-race person, or just the school's spoiled brat? She's always doing nothing and causing trouble, yet everyone lets her have her way, and even the principal cleans up her messes...

[It seems the protagonist's self-perception is seriously flawed.]

The comment section was a mess, yet every single questioning comment had a "liked by the author" message.

Yan Shi was amazed.

Although there are arguments in the comment section of "The Curse of the Laws", they are about characters and plot, and there is not this much hostility.

With mixed feelings, she clicked into the main story and quickly skimmed through the plot.

The opening scene is indeed Tonghai High School, with the school buildings being exactly the same.

Most of the supporting characters are indistinct, including Christy, whose only feature is her beautiful curly hair; her facial features are drawn rather crudely.

Aside from the main character, Xu Xiqiao.

Xu Xiqiao's facial features are painted with great care and detail, to the point that you can tell at a glance that it is Linxi Bridge.

Xu Xiqiao is flamboyant and unrestrained. The comic title says she is a mixed-race person who is discriminated against, but in reality, everyone around her treats her like an ancestor and she does whatever she wants.

The first five episodes were all about the protagonist's daily life at school, until the latest episode.

During the debate, Xu Xiqiao lost control and failed to control the water spirits around him. In his violent outburst, the water spirits suddenly gathered and destroyed the entire teaching building.

Debris from the building was scattered everywhere, injuring nearby students and teachers.

Xu Xiqiao stubbornly stood in the center of the ruins.

The principal has arrived.

Christie was furious: "Xu Xiqiao, it's you again!"

The lines are the same, but Xu Xiqiao's reaction in the comics is completely different from Lin Xiqiao's, and the answers they give are also completely different.

Xu Xiqiao looked calmly ahead and met Christie's gaze: "Principal, I did nothing wrong."

"Mixed-race people should not discriminate against each other; we should turn our weapons against those who make the rules."

"Then, change the rules."

The story ends abruptly here.

Yan Shi: ...?

This comic doesn't seem very realistic.

She stared thoughtfully at Xu Xiqiao's eyebrows and eyes in the comic, and realized that Yan Shi himself, as a supporting character present, was also completely different in the comic.

hateful.

The cartoonist must be afraid that she would steal the spotlight from the main character, Xu Xiqiao!

The ramen restaurant served the food very quickly.

Yan Shi turned off his phone screen, finished his dinner casually, and nodded to You You, saying, "I'm leaving now. You guys go home early."

"Yes, Director Yan!" You immediately sat up straight, her gaze earnest. "Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Yan Shi stepped out the door, he heard You You scream in a low voice but unable to contain her excitement: "Ahhhhhh, Director Yan just talked to me again!"

She could hear the sound clearly even at the end of the street.

However, Yan Shi had no idea why he could see a new comic on Qiman.

However, the main subject is Linxi Bridge.

Therefore, the key to solving all the mysteries lies in the Linxi Bridge.

Yan Shi had previously hinted that Shui Ling had marked Linxi Bridge, and now she said softly, "Take me to her."

The water responded cheerfully, coalescing into a clear stream that meandered along the alleyway.

Yan Shi followed behind with light steps.

To her surprise, Linxi Bridge was not located within Tonghai High School, but rather at Yanqing Temple next door.

After Shui Ling led them to the temple entrance, she stopped with a troubled expression.

“You’ve done a great job.” Yan Shi hooked his fingertip around Shui Ling. “I know that the spirit she’s close to is also Shui Ling, so let’s stop here.”

The main gate of Yanqing Temple was closed long ago, but Yan Shi was very familiar with the place.

Following her memory, she circled around to a dilapidated little wall, easily leaped up with a push of her foot, grabbed the top of the wall, and smoothly stepped over it, climbing up.

It doesn't even need the help of the water spirit.

The Yanqing Temple from a hundred years ago is no different from what it is now; time seems to have stood still here.

There is only one main hall inside, which enshrines Yan Qing; there are no other side halls.

Yan Shi walked to the entrance of the main hall.

The main hall door was not closed, and the interior was dimly lit. The Linxi Bridge was located here, with its back to the door.

She brought a chair from somewhere and used the offering table for fruits in the hall as a table, then sat down and started writing or drawing something on it.

Yan Shi walked slowly to her side before suddenly speaking, "Good evening, Lin."

"Huh?" Linxiqiao was startled, her whole body suddenly trembled, she looked up sharply, and instinctively dodged to the side.

The light shone down and fell on the paper on the table, clearly illuminating its contents.

It was a page of original comic manuscript, the one that Yan Shi had just looked at.

However, what Linxi Bridge is painting at this moment should be the later part of the story.

In the comic, Xu Xiqiao stands in the center of the principal's office, looking completely unconcerned.

Yan Shi: "That's completely untrue." She stared at the drawing paper and spoke silently.

Linxi Bridge was already moving very quickly to cover the drawing paper when he heard this, and his expression turned ugly: "What do you mean?"

"Oh." Yan Shi shrugged. "I just finished reading your latest update."

Linxi Bridge slowly lowered her hand: "You saw it, didn't you?" Her voice was low.

"Linxi Bridge, you bring your comics to life, but you don't follow the realities of life." Yan Shi said with great interest, "What a unique hobby."

The table was covered with original comic strip manuscripts of Linxi Bridge, scattered haphazardly.

Linxi Bridge lowered her eyes: "I hope things will turn out this way, is that not allowed?"

Author's Note: The countdown to completion has begun. Starting tomorrow, I'll try to write four chapters a day to keep the plot more coherent.

I'm giving away red envelopes in the comments section today!
