Chapter 40
"Today, the school organized a visit to a charity organization and saw a very handsome young man!! [Picture][Picture]"
"It's a pity that I didn't dare to go up and ask for contact information QAQ"
On an ordinary day, someone posted an ordinary Weibo. The only thing that was unusual was the face of the young man in the picture.
The lights seemed to favor him especially, shining right on him, softening his stern features, making him look like he was glowing.
Soon, someone posted this scarf on Weibo to a blogger with millions of followers, and it was reposted countless times. Many people left messages asking for directions, trying to find the person in the picture but to no avail.
Jiang Zhulang, who had just returned home from the charity foundation, had no idea that he was secretly photographed by the student group he met. After a quick meal, he slumped down in front of his computer desk and began to rush his manuscript.
During the break, he recalled his extremely fulfilling day.
After returning to reality from the Nidos continent, he went to a charity foundation far away in the suburbs. It is worth mentioning that after cashing out the proceeds from the comics, he was able to indulge himself and took a taxi there.
Since he donated to the foundation from time to time, the amount accumulated over time and became quite a large amount. Therefore, the foundation invited him to take a photo and awarded him a special medal.
Although it sounds silly, Jiang Zhulang, who had never experienced these things, went happily. After visiting the person in charge and seeing the current situation of the recipients, he deposited some money into the account.
Jiang Zhulang was a person with very low material desires, and his few desires for consumption were all satisfied in the comics world. In addition, he did not have to worry about buying a house, so he was generous in donating money.
Of course, this assumes that the money has not stayed in his account for more than three days.
——After keeping the money for a long time, he developed an attachment to it and became more reluctant to spend it.
His roommate once complained about him: "Once he gets the money, he is reluctant to spend it, like a miser."
He never refuted this.
His parents divorced when he was young and each started a new family. Jiang Zhulang was regarded as a burden by both sides and was passed around like a ball, staying at his father's house for one year and at his mother's house for the next. When he was sixteen years old, his parents gave him 500,000 yuan as living expenses and completely stopped caring about him.
Jiang Zhulang did not resent them. In his opinion, after the divorce, his parents were willing to raise him and give him some money to live on, and did not throw him into an orphanage. This was already very good to him.
So, after entering college, he worked while studying, and with the scholarships he received for his excellent grades, he saved a lot of money. He finally bought his current house in the old neighborhood, becoming the first person in the dormitory to buy a house in full.
The vibration of the phone woke Jiang Zhulang up from his wandering thoughts. He opened the dialogue box and found that it was Brother Li: "(crying loudly) (crying loudly)"
"What's wrong?"
"My dear Jiang, can you lend me 200,000 yuan for emergency? My wife got a house in the school district through the lottery, but now she's short of something..."
Jiang Zhulang checked the balance and replied: "I have more than 50,000 yuan left. Can I give you 50,000 yuan?"
"??? Didn't you just cash it out? You spent it on something."
It turns out that editors can see withdrawal records?
He paused and replied, "I just donated half of it this morning, and then I deposited some more in a fixed deposit, so this is all I have left. How about I withdraw a little more next month when the withdrawal date comes?"
"Oo Zundu fake du?"
"real."
This was not an excuse for not wanting to lend money. Jiang Zhulang's habit was to keep only a small amount for living expenses after receiving the money, and deposit the rest in a time deposit. This would greatly restrain him from spending money recklessly, because he would not be able to withdraw the money even if he wanted to before the deposit period expired.
Li Ge’s dialog box displayed “in progress” for a long time, and finally said: “Oh, forget it, I’ll think of a solution (cracked jpg)”
After closing the dialog box, Jiang Zhulang didn't care and continued to devote himself to the task of finishing his manuscript.
Compared to him who is a bit withdrawn, Brother Li has a wide range of friends and is always kind to others, so he is not worried that he will not be able to borrow the money.
[A daily question: Has "Warlock" been updated? ]
[Hello dear, no]
[Is the person above new? I usually update on weekend nights, which is actually quite regular.]
[I know, wuwuwu, but what if? Why can't I draw a hundred chapters every day? QAQ]
[2333 I think so too, this is all I can watch every week, it’s not enough at all]
…
7pm China time, Sunday
The daily post urging for updates fell silent, and countless readers pressed F5 to refresh and clicked on the comics that were updated.
At the same time, Jiang Zhulang also switched to a reader account to contribute views to his comics.
Jiang Zhulang struggled for a long time about the cover of this episode, and finally decided to put the scene of Roshia sitting on the throne in the underground palace:
In the dim underground palace, a man with half-long curly hair was tied to a throne made of gemstones with thorns, his eyes were fixed tightly as if he were a sacrifice. The light and shadow flickered, making his face look a little gloomy.
After appreciating his skillful painting skills and delicate light and shadow, Jiang Zhulang clicked on the real-time comments. The readers focused on:
【Ohhhh, bondage play! 】
[Yeah, yeah, tying up is really civilized, let's do whatever we want, Roshia prprpr]
[So the content of this episode is about the princess saving the knight? Hahaha]
【Princess??】
[Lan Nuo is so pretty, she must be a princess~]
[That makes sense. It would be even better if Lan Nuo was the one being tied up! The thick, long, slimy tentacles tightly bound the boy's pale body, leaving some ambiguous red marks. The boy's clothes were torn and hung on his body, but they couldn't cover anything...]
[The one above, please put down your pen and write 30,000 words quickly! ]
Jiang Zhulang: Subway, old man, mobile phonejpg
He quickly exited the live commentary and flipped through the comics.
The comic opens with three people on the island staring blankly at the wooden boat that is gone forever. The two Q-version characters are chubby and tousled in the wind, looking particularly cute. The comments are full of gloating hahahaha.
Sliding quickly, Jiang Zhulang skipped over the daily routine and jumped to the scene where he fell into the underground palace, and browsed it carefully.
He wanted to see what everyone thought of Yu Lannuo's "real" background.
In the comic, when Martin mentioned the remains of the Warlock King, and then the note with the words written on it disappeared, the comment section said:
[It’s settled, it’s settled. It’s definitely the remains of the Warlock King.]
[Hahahaha Luoshia, I guess you want to say: This person's tone really deserves a beating]
[Help, the previous popular science, something about how one can only become the strongest after the age of 30 when the bloodline is activated, I thought it was the type of person who said "Don't despise the poor young man" but the tone of his speech turned out to be so frivolous]
…
When Lannuo was dragged into the coffin by the bone hand, Roshia followed in to protect Lannuo, but Martin was locked outside and had a big bump on his forehead. Belike in the comment area:
【Hahahahahahaha Martin: I shouldn’t be under the coffin, I should be under the car】
[Broccoli is just having a private time with her, so there’s no need for you to go in, Martin. Just go and have fun by yourself.]
[The light bulb is beeping]
[Martin: (Just squeeze in, it’s also an outsiderjpg)]
[Ranma-kun, you… don’t have to draw this bone hand so realistically and so eerie orz]
[Wow, Luo Xiya, really, I am crying my ass off. He held Lan Nuo tightly in his arms, fearing that he would get hurt in the slightest. He didn't even think about what would happen to him QAQ]
[It's hard to explain if this isn't love (funny) (funny)]
[So this kind of relationship of mutual protection and support is really cool. Both parties are the most trustworthy and the person they want to protect the most. So cool! ! ]
[Add one plus one, all the love and hatred is empty, aren’t you tired of fighting all day long? Warm companionship is the best!!!]
[Ah, just knock it down if you want, why are you still trying to pull it down? I’m really impressed. Are you okay?]
[It's so funny, don't you guys want to watch the two kings and one queen threesome? Only children make choices, adults want them all!! ]
【……】
Then, the vision went black, the picture changed, and Lan Nuo woke up again, with only one person by his side.
Regarding his use of the blood on his hand to activate the Alchemy Spider, readers said:
[It feels great. Lan Nuo did what I always wanted to do. Hahahaha. That's what I said. What is the blood in the heart and the blood on the fingertips? Aren't they all human blood? Why do you have to use these two?]
[Lan Nuo’s train of thought…]
[(Laughs) Maybe a nosebleed would be okay?]
[Nosebleed? Don’t do that! ! ]
When Lanno overcame numerous obstacles and finally arrived in front of Roshia, he broke free from his restraints in the firelight and held him in his arms. Comments:
【Yiyayiya~】
[Okay, okay, look at how cautious he is.]
【The cover scene is coming!!】
[I haven't seen Roshia's original appearance for a long time. I'm still a little uncomfortable with it hhhh]
[Yes, although he is still handsome after the disguise, I still think he is more attractive with the prosthetic eye. He has a kind of cold and human feeling. He seems to be better than after the disguise.]
[? More OK? ? What OK? ? Did a stroller just drive by? ]
[How did he get caught and tied up? ? Is there some mysterious power? For example, the Warlock King is still alive? ]
【Same question】
…
Soon, their doubts were answered. On the next page, Roshia recalled his experience of being kidnapped:
After being knocked unconscious by the flying rocks, Lanno was about to bandage him, but countless thorny vines emerged from the pile of bones, tightly wrapped around Roshia's limbs and tied him to the jewel throne.
At the same time, a shadow appeared and told him: "Guess, after your companion wakes up, will he rescue you from the coma first, or try to take the rare gem from the throne?"
Roshia said firmly: "Lanno said that he would always choose me."
The shadow laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, young people always take emotions and ties so seriously. Let's wait and see. However, if he chooses the gem, he will be poisoned and die. And you will be trapped in this underground palace forever, becoming food for thorns."
"See? Those piles of bones are the fate of you and your companions."
“…”
This is what Luo Xia told Jiang Zhulang later.
When he recounted this experience, his face showed a firmness and confidence, without even the slightest doubt.
When painting, Jiang Zhulang tried to paint this part of the plot that he had not participated in but had only heard about, and found that he was successful.
The success of this experiment means that the subsequent plot of the comic can be more free and flexible, rather than being presented only from Lanno's perspective.
After all, if you want to show some past experiences, you can only use the method of recollection.
