Chapter 59
Is the supporting role too important?
-OP-: Sorry for the title, I just had a long argument with a friend. He thought the supporting characters had overshadowed the main story and said he would not continue writing with such an author. I was a little sad...
-2L-: I can only remain silent. Aren't all shonen manga like this? ? ? Do long narratives have to revolve around the protagonist alone? In any work, there are often minor characters who drive key plots.
-3L-: I beg you, there is no point in forcing someone you don't like to like someone.
-4L-: I don’t think so. I like Xiaoman very much, but I don’t feel that Xiaoman has been robbed of anything because of the supporting characters.
Analyzing from the perspective of the cold story structure, aren't the supporting characters all playing a role in laying the worldview (laughs) and contributing to setting the stage for the protagonist?
-5L-: That makes so much sense that I am speechless!
Therefore, the significance of the appearance of the little fox is to put the setting of the Golden Blood into practice, telling us that the abilities of this beast race lie in being good at fighting, having strong perception, and being able to turn into a large furry creature... and to emphasize the situation of the abandoned tribe.
With his plot, the relevant settings are no longer superficial, effectively reducing the cloud content in the discussion.
-6L-: It also gave Xiaoman a travel companion, or an opportunity to enter the human world. After long-term trust and contact with people of the same age, the little wolf cub's expression is obviously more cheerful than before, just two or three pixels.
-7L-: The pixels are so funny.
-8L-: What is the meaning of drawing?
-9L-: Let's talk about the life span of the disabled, so as to push the main storyline to the next goal.
-10L-: So cold and real. That friend brother is... well, he seems to be here to take care of the kid because of a commission. He spent money on buying new clothes and meals. Even the combat tutorial was contracted to Lielie, so in fact, the Flower City dungeon can be done without him. Buying intelligence and so on. Anyway, the kid is the protagonist, and he can still win without intelligence, but it will be a miserable victory.
-11L-: Phew. He also has an effect! Psychologically. After all, the little fox had something on his mind before. If it weren't for Belu and Lielie accompanying him, Xiaoman would definitely not be able to handle this period on his own.
-12L-:11L is right.
So the purpose of Lielie is to help improve Xiaoman's melee ability (together with the death of the little fox) and to set off his cheating skills in the bullying game after learning magic. The purpose of the pink-haired sister is to make the cub understand thoroughly that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie after she leaves her mother's side.
-13L-: Learning to distinguish between the right kind of like and the kind that brings bad things is also part of growth.
-14L-: So the conclusion is that every supporting character has a purpose! Yay!
-15L-: Of course there is! (Takes out a brushed poster soaked in water and sticks it on the wall) (I was so beautiful that I was dizzy until the next morning)
-16L-: Of course there is +1 (Takes out the big pillow with the handle of Belu band) (Sticks off the cat hair of the rebellious son) (Rubbing)
-17L-: That’s right, why doesn’t our Belu have a single-player map?
-18-: But he appears in many scenes, and there are many close-ups of his face in the main story. It is obvious that the fans like his face very much, eh…
…
"wp32 return image, a little fox divided into five equal parts"
-OP-: Without further ado, here are the pictures! This is the happiest day of my life. The teachers’ faces are so great! [Picture 1.jpg][Picture 2.jpg][Picture 3.jpg]…
-2L-: I came quickly! I claimed the White Snake of P6. Although I didn’t cosplay this game this time, I shamelessly took a photo with my friends who played the little fox! I also thank the other teachers for their cooperation (heart)
-3L-: Who is the teacher in the middle of P3? Her expression is amazing. For a moment I thought I saw a little fox in the thumbnail! I praise the original poster's photography skills.
-4L-: I thought the title was just a joke but it's actually true! Five times! Little Fox——It just happens to be the original work + modern casual wear + school uniform + band + ancient style! I'm so drunk, I'm so drunk, I'm calling my friends to come and show it to me! @…[Content collapsed]
-5L-: It's so great to be able to gather them all. I want them all (No)
-6L-: I can’t help but sigh that my popularity is so high, even though he only appeared in 4 episodes in the main story.
-7L-: Yes, although there are quite a few Xiaoman, but on average there is only one wolf cub for every three little foxes...there are even fewer cosplays of the friends and Lielie groups.
-8L-: Damn, I turned to the end and saw a wedding dress version of Pink Hair Sister and Xiaoman making a heart shape with a formal little fox standing in the middle with its face covered. I couldn't contain myself anymore, ban White Album 2!
-9L-: Thanks for the invitation. I was really shocked. But the teachers must have agreed to play it this way. The plot setting with hatred is not bad... The pink-haired sister is pretty. Although the mother, the green sister and the princess are also beautiful, she really has the face of the main character.
-10L-: It's a pity that the little wolf cub is too stubborn to like soft rice (shaking head). The heroine is good. It's much more comfortable than the kind of guy who has to get involved with a pretty girl without distinguishing between good and bad.
-11L-: And the pink-haired sister died twice. If the little fox was still alive, he might feel that it was enough and no longer be full of hatred.
I mean, he is definitely the type of person who looks forward. He even wrote that he wanted to go see the mountains and the sea with Xiaoman.
-12L-: Maybe. Woohoo. I have this problem where my nose gets sore for no reason when I see Sumei cosplayers showing a happy smile.
-13L-: I knew there would be some teacher Su Su Nian in this! The ancient style is very tasteful, fairy-like and youthful. I'm fine, I'm very good. I will immediately build a literature about the fox spirit in white and the young hero in black wandering around the world. Ah ah ah——
-14L-: The little fox that the teacher created is not holding a flute from the street but a pipa. I love it.
-15L-: ...I just think it's amazing that the two teachers can bring the real guy around. But does it also fit the character of the little fox with an angelic face and a lot of strength?
-16L-: What? I’m illiterate. I thought this was a cute version of a pipa… but it turned out to be a moon guitar!
-17L-: What a cute version of Pipa! I am almost dizzy with your cuteness.
-OP-: Ahhh, it doesn't matter. I am illiterate too. I asked Teacher Su Su Nian at that time, and the teacher's answer was "Because the body of the zither is round, it looks like the moon, right? - I think Su Mei might say so." It's so detailed, it makes me cry. And the teacher even specially learned how to use it to ensure that the poses for taking photos are not wrong. This is the power of love!
-19L-: It's too detailed. My colleagues also think it's great that I have a teacher! ! !
…
Yuan Qian sincerely sighed: "I never thought that No. 1 could still bring in so much income."
After all, after the performance, the subsequent interpretation and enrichment of the role had little to do with him, so he did not think that he understood "Su Mei" that well.
He just considers the details carefully, so as to perfectly perform a life, and then gives the right to speak to the readers. The life of the retired character continues in the readers, and the original author can also receive the emotional value that continues to be generated. This is a win-win situation.
[An unexpected success leads to a great outcome—this is what you say in your language, right?] The adjutant replied as he worked.
At this time, Yuan Qian was driving Xiao Man back to the City of Art, but they were not in the same carriage.
On the surface, Chen Xing was frightened and, knowing full well Xiaoman's mission to kill the Star God, he became more obedient and honestly asked Xiaoman to use the car all to himself. In fact, this was not only in line with his character setting, but also made Yuan Qian feel more at ease.
He decided to play the role in his true colors, after all, even the appearance of Character No. 4 was modified based on his own. But when it came to his appearance, Yuan Qian thought that a purely good character would be a bit boring and could not carry the story, so he added some things.
For example...some sneaky appearances and words and actions.
Anyway, No. 4 is a businessman, a fragment of the star god, not a great and righteous hero. He was also humble in front of Ellyratna, which is not contradictory, and it is definitely easier to leave an impression than a normal appearance.
But compared to his adjutant's, the scale of his troubles was nothing.
Since the other party has already controlled No. 5 to emerge from the abyss, those vague words are no longer transmitted to Xiaoman's dream through subconscious props, but directly to the void, to the readers who have the highest perspective and can see all this, showing a light smile, accompanied by gentle confession.
Even if the words are eloquent and expressive, they will only silently fill the text box if they are limited by the carrier, but his narration still has an excellent tone.
The fleetingness, joy, anticipation and sadness are all present and superficial, sounding like something between a well-written play script and a child talking to his toys.
Moreover, the voice of No. 5 has been adjusted to be more decadent than that of the adjutant himself. He has a crazy temperament as if he is singing about gods and ghosts, and his voice is very villainous, which makes the only listener feel creepy.
So when Chen Xing showed his weak and helpless emotions in front of Xiao Man, he was particularly sincere. He even fooled Xiao Man and took the cloak and put it on him, and told him with a very upright expression:
"Just cover your face and it'll be fine. I won't do anything to you for now."
"…Just temporarily?"
Chen Xing silently wore the Huiyin mask with his hands mostly covered by the sleeves of his hood, his fingertips trembling slightly.
"I promised Belu." Xiaoman said.
So if there is a chance, I will still beat him. As the person who said this, Yuan Qian was not afraid at all, and was even a little moved. Our Xiaoman is such a child who keeps his promises. He remembers every word he promised to others. See how loyal he is!
So even though they look similar, Chen Xing, the fragment of the star god who does things his own way and does business under the pseudonym Winchester, is not the same as Yuan Qian himself.
The former should be a person who appears gentle and docile, accustomed to watching from the sidelines and somewhat opportunistic. Yuan Qian, on the other hand, is still an ordinary person who can complain, and he has developed the habit after a few months. Even though he is less than ten years older than Xiaoman, he still can't get rid of the parental mentality when looking at her.
After a moment of distraction, Yuan Qian noticed that No. 5, who was still staying in Xingyuan and had no intention of going out, had obtained a pile of leather, mud, wood, iron and other materials from an unknown source. He was standing in front of a person-high shelf, fixing a thin piece of leather on the fully filled cheek of the figure sculpture.
His movements were very gentle and precise. After a strip of skin that was so thin that it was transparent was stretched straight, the small nail just sank into the side of the jawbone and was immediately covered by the almost real hair.
Even though most of the sculpture's face is still made of gray clay, the expression it creates is so vivid that it gives the action an inexplicable tinge of obsession.
At the same time, he was humming something softly... Yuan Qian listened carefully and was immediately horrified: Even if he didn't sing the lyrics, he could tell from the tune that it was the song that Xiaoman's mother sang to lull her child to sleep. It was also the song that Su Mei had secretly sung for Xiaoman.
But at this moment, it is no longer a symbol of tenderness and care, but has become strange.
Coupled with the warm grey eye colour of Number Five that had been deliberately altered to resemble that lady's, everything implied a certain horrible cruelty.
Who said that Elliretna looked like Salome? I think you are the real one, Mr. Adjutant! Yuan Qian shuddered quietly.
[What's wrong?] The adjutant, who was doing something incredible, still had time to care about Yuan Qian.
"Isn't this a bit too much..." Yuan Qian raised his hand weakly. He felt that in the future, he would be able to merge his spirit and soul with "Dust Awakening" just by thinking about this guy. It was quite scary when his teammates carefully constructed the villain.
[Is it not possible?] The other party actually hesitated, [I thought it was quite interesting...]
"Can you tell me the reason behind this?" Yuan Qian told himself that he was not a bad person with malicious intentions, and once again tried to understand a demon king from another world.
[If I have to choose between the Star God and Xiaoman as the meaning of life, I will choose Xiaoman!] The adjutant declared proudly.
"Don't decide the meaning of life so casually." Yuan Qian complained helplessly.
"What else? We have to live for something." The adjutant asked.
"..."Yes, then why am I living? On the surface, Su Mei wanted to avenge her people, and Lazarus chose to transform in order to continue his pursuit of knowledge, so I am - no, to be alive is to be alive, there is no restriction that you have to live for a certain reason!
Yuan Qian felt that he had been led astray by his teammate who was good at talking nonsense. This idea can be used to create characters in the story, but not everyone in the world is so extreme. People with extreme ideas are not necessarily villains, but to be a villain, you have to be extreme in some aspects. He finally understood this.
