In the third year of studying in Wenyuan College, Zhou Ming learned everything he should learn and found that there was nothing worth learning by himself. He began to expand his interests and hobbies.

For example, writing novels, drawing comics, and creating some pop music. Anyway, sometimes when inspiration comes, you can get any strange works.

I have written two short stories in the half-vernacular language, including martial arts, and the description of the fight may be too fancy. As a result, the four roommates in the dormitory said that they could not understand and could not substitute them.

Modern pop music, after Zhou Ming made a guitar-style instrument, he played several songs by Zhou Lunjie. Perhaps because of the performance of the way is too unique, the weird musical tunes, and the lyrics are too straightforward, and it cannot be integrated with the musical cells in people's minds in this era. After singing two songs, Zhou Ming was almost embarrassed to death by himself.

Unexpectedly, the comics that combine text and pictures were unanimously welcomed by roommates.

On this day, Zhou Ming was working hard in the academy for a review room.

Bang!

The door was violently pushed open, and roommates Lu Wencai, Tang Junming, Sima Zhi and others came over.

"Boss, has the eighth volume of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms 108 Stars" been completed? There is also the fifth chapter of "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons", did Sun Wukong kill the White Bone Spirit or release the White Bone Spirit?"

"Yes, boss, can you draw faster? It takes only three days to release a volume. Are you trying to make your brothers wait for it?"

"Hey, boss, you are painting the fifth chapter of "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons"... Are you almost finished? Come and give it to me quickly. Sister Yishu likes to watch the stories in Journey to the West the most. I want to show it to her!"

Fat Sima Zhi couldn't wait to say.

Lu Wen pushed him away: "Go away, I have already agreed with the boss. The boss told me to give it to me first, and I will give it to you after I finish reading it!"

Sima Zhi, who was pushed, shouted aggrievedly: "Lu Wencai! Don't think I don't know. You secretly gave the boss's comics to Wang Yurong of the Qinyi Class, and said that these comics were drawn by you, you are shameless!"

He said to Zhou Ming: "Boss, don't lend the comics to Lu Wencai. This guy has the opposite sex and has no brothers!"

"Sima Zhi, shut up!"

Lu Wencai was exposed and was anxious. He wanted to go forward to cover Sima Zhi's mouth, but he ran away. He could only stare at him and told him not to go back to the dormitory if he had any questions.

"Brother Wencai, you're done. Look at the boss's eyes, the boss is angry." Tang Junming, who was holding his hands to watch the fun, raised his chin and reminded him.

Lu Wencai turned around and saw that smile was not a smile, but was kind, but actually a devil's smile. He walked over tremblingly and said, "Boss, listen to my explanation. I really didn't say that the comic was drawn by me. I don't have that ability. I...I am..."

"Okay, don't explain it. You are just lustful and have forgotten how much you have to pay. It's understandable, understandable." Zhou Ming nodded and said with a smile.

"Boss!"

Lu Wencai cried and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"The comics will still be lent to you, but as a punishment, I will wash my clothes for three months. Also, Xiaozhi's clothes are also washed together. Don't bully him all the time. His father is a county magistrate at least." Sima Zhi's father was originally just a county magistrate. Recently, he seemed to have taken the line from the Empress of the Heavenly Queen and was promoted and promoted to county magistrate.

Lu Wencai was granted a general amnesty and kept nodding, "Yes, boss!"

Sima Zhi, who used to wash clothes for several people in the dormitory, heard that he didn't need to wash clothes anymore, and someone helped him wash his clothes for the first time. He immediately raised his head and chest. Thinking of his father's recent promotion, he felt that his status had also been greatly improved.

Holding the homemade pencil, Zhou Ming buried his head and wrote a few more strokes. It was not until the latest episode of the fifth chapter of "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" was completed that he ended and nodded with satisfaction.

The comic stories he created now, whether it is "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" or "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms 108 Stars", are all inseparable from "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the [Four Great Classics]. At most, it only borrows some names and scenes, and applies some classic stories.

For example, in "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons", there is no so-called "makes a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace", "taking the Western Classic", and "fighting with Buddhism and Taoism". The story is simple and clear, similar to the setting of the King's Dao of Foot Basin. It is a story of a monkey with high martial arts skills, a greedy pig, a chatty monk, an honest porter, traveling west to find "dragon balls", and subduing demons and demons.

As for "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms 108 Stars", Zhou Ming combined "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" to set up three countries. In order to compete for 108 stars from the earth, hegemony, and love stories of children. The more stars that the country competes for, the stronger that country. If a country can gather 108 stars and spread them into a 108 star Tiangang formation, it will have the strength to unify the world...

However, because of the architecture of this comic, there are too many characters appearing, the more you go to the back, the more you can't control it. Therefore, Zhou Ming had to slow down his creation speed, free up some of his brains, and open a better painting "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons".

After a lot of fighting, several heads squeezed together. After they finished watching the latest update, Zhou Ming asked them: "I ask you, if you engrave and print this comic and publish it, how many people do you think will read it?"

"It must be many! Anyone who knows literacy will like the stories in this book!" Lu Wencai immediately turned a decisive move.

"Boss, don't there be more than a dozen bookstores in the prefecture? Take your comics over and print them in a carved way, and print them out tens of thousands at a time! In this way, we don't have to grab a comic to read it!"

Tang Junming's eyes lit up.

The movable type printing technology of this era has developed to a very developed level. The woodblock printing technology of some bookstores has achieved a printing plate that can be printed tens of thousands of times in a row.

"Boss, leave this matter to me. The largest bookstores in the prefecture are from the Yao family in Qingzhou. I can gather all the best carving craftsmen to publish your comics at the fastest speed." Yao Qingxiao said at this time.

Zhou Ming looked at him and nodded and said, "Brother Qingxiao, I'll trouble you. As for the benefits of comic books, one person should be half of it, and you can't let your Yao family suffer too much."

Zhou Ming has a little understanding of the publishing market in this world. Generally, the author and the bookstore each account for half of it. However, this income is limited to the first two to three editions of the work. When a large number of pirated works appear on the market, the author's subsequent income will basically not be able to get it. If the author is given the income, the bookstores that print genuine books will probably lose all their money...

Pirates and modern online society cannot be extinct, let alone expect that this ancient era, which has no concept of intellectual property rights, can protect the rights and interests of genuine products.

...

One month later.

The teachers of Wenyuan Academy discovered that a book called "comics" began to sweep the entire academy.

At first, it was just a few classes, spreading and discussing in a small scale, but one day, after such comic books suddenly appeared on a large scale, like a volcanic eruption, the hot magma covered the entire academy.

Each class has at least one book. At first, it only takes a secret reading in the dormitory, and then some students can't help but hide in some corners of the classroom to read. In the end, every class can find that the poor students sitting in the back rows lower their heads as soon as they are in class, concentrate, and forget themselves, and are looking through something.

The first comic book was confiscated by the teacher.

Then there is the second book, the third book... and it is seized every day afterwards.

Some teachers were frightened to find that even some students with excellent grades began to read these "comic books". After a period of time, their academic performance declined significantly.

"Confiscate! All such 'comic books' that harm the academic style of my Wenyuan Academy must be confiscated!"

At the academy teaching meeting, the academy director Wang Gang expressed his angrily because he found at home yesterday that there were several such comic books in his daughter's boudoir... Comics, this cancer of Wenyuan Academy must be removed!

The rushing search and confiscation operation began. The comic books collected in various dormitories and classrooms were piled up in the academy square, with as many as five or six thousand books. On average, each of the thousands of students in the academy had more than five books. These comic books, except for a few hundred (confiscated in the early stage), were sealed in the library, and the rest were all burned clean.

Looking at the burning fire, there were several teachers who participated in the confiscation operation, looking a pity. While they confiscated these comic books, they also glanced at them with interest. Unexpectedly, they were deeply attracted by them after just a few pages... The simple and beautiful style of painting, lively characters, and wonderful stories all exuded some magic, and grabbed their eyes tightly.

Unexpectedly, they were all burned.

"Hey, there are still hundreds of 'comic books' in the library that have not been burned, so why not..."

One day, I was so itchy that I was so unbearable that I was thinking about day and night that a teacher finally couldn't help but get the key to the library in the name of searching for books. As soon as I opened the door to the library, I saw several colleagues in a corner of the library holding a comic book in their hands, watching it selflessly.

Several colleagues were startled by him and were about to put away the book, but they saw him pulling out a volume of "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" from the bookshelf. After reading it impatiently, they looked at each other and smiled, and then picked up the books in their hands...
Chapter completed!
