Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 161 Free Travel
"What's your name?"

“Rich people recommend gambling!”

When Li Wannian heard the name, he suddenly looked up. A thin boy in a baseball uniform and glasses who looked like a junior high school student was standing opposite him.

"Rich people recommend blogging, right? Do you need me to write a message?"

"Just write: Zhu Fu suggests that Bo can be admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts in the future!"

"Good good!"

Li Wannian never expected that at his first book signing in Tokyo, he would meet a comic genius who would make him hate him in the future.

"I've finished writing. Do you want to add another sentence: Become an excellent cartoonist?"

At the same time, Li Wannian added another sentence in his heart: Never stop publishing!

However, what Li Wannian didn't expect was that the rich man suggested gambling but refused.

"No, I plan to be an art teacher!"

Seeing Fu Jianbo's shy look, Li Wannian really couldn't connect him with the shameless Fu Jian old thief later.

Wait, what did he say?be a teacher?

"Based on your personality, maybe a cartoonist is more suitable for you than an art teacher!"

Li Wannian smiled and handed the comic to Fu Shangbo. He originally wanted to say a few more words, but the people in line behind him started urging him, so Fu Shangbo had to leave the queue.

Looking at the endless team, Fu Shangbo felt a little confused.

Born in Yamagata Prefecture in 1966, he just finished his first year of junior high school this year and will be in his second year of junior high school next semester.

His father ran a stationery store, which allowed him to see many free comics since he was a child.

Fu Shangbo's father had an unusual interest in painting, which led Fu Shangbo to start learning painting since he was a child. Since elementary school, he has won consecutive awards in various competitions and is a well-known painting prodigy in the neighborhood.

However, Fu suggested that Bo prefer baseball to painting and invested a huge amount of time and energy in training last semester.

However, he really had no talent when it came to baseball, and it was impossible for him to become a professional player.

After the shock, he also began to consider the future direction of his life, and finally chose to become an art teacher.

But now, I met a cartoonist and told me to become a cartoonist.

Become a cartoonist?

"Thank you for your hard work today, long live the teacher!"

Looking at the gradually thinning team, Li Wannian quickly chose to retreat while there was no one around.

Four consecutive hours of signing autographs made Li Wannian's right arm feel like it was about to break.

I thought that I would only be famous in Neon, but I didn’t expect that thousands of people would come today.

Moreover, many people picked up not "Dragon Ball" but other comics such as "Death" and "Parasite".

Apparently they saw "Dragon Ball" in a magazine and went to the bookstore to look for a single volume. Unexpectedly, they found other comics and fell into the trap.

In addition, Tokyo has a large population and many people read comics. Coupled with the publicity of Akita Bookstore, it created today's grand event.

“I didn’t expect there would be so many people today!”

Because there were too many people, I couldn't even say a few words to the old Fujian thief.

For example: Don’t just focus on playing mahjong and games. When you become a cartoonist, you must serialize it well and don’t stop publishing, etc...

However, he obviously forgot that many fans of "Death" in Hong Kong also wanted to say the same thing to Li Wannian!

"I didn't expect you to be so popular in Neon! This scene is really big!"

When Li Wannian came to the backstage, Hojoji greeted him with an inexplicable emotion.

"That's because you have never been to Hong Kong Island. Once you have, you will know what a big scene is!"

Li Wannian filled a cup in front of Hojoji Temple and walked towards the parking lot.

"Li Sang, we will arrange for you to have a meal first, and then we will take the Shinkansen to Nagoya!"

Neon is the first country in the world to have high-speed rail. As early as 1964, it built the Tokaido Shinkansen, which is the line that Li Wannian will take at this time.

It is about 350 kilometers from Tokyo to Nagoya. It takes too long to drive and flying is too troublesome. Comparatively speaking, train is the most convenient.

Li Wannian had no objections to this, and he also wanted to experience the most advanced high-speed rail of this era.

"By the way, about what time should we arrive in Nagoya?"

"It's about four o'clock in the afternoon!" Sawajiri replied.

"That's it! Then I want to find a friend in Nagoya!"

"friend?"

Sawajiri Shi was a little confused.

As far as he understood, this was only Li Wannian's second visit to Neon. Yesterday he went to meet Osamu Tezuka and Jiro Tsunoda, and today he was going to Nagoya to meet friends. How could he have so many friends?

A few hours later, a group of people appeared on the Shinkansen train. In addition to Li Wannian and Zhong Chuhong, they were also accompanied by Sawajiri Shi and Hojoji.

"Your paintings are very delicate, and you can capture the emotions of the characters very well. However, there are still problems in the combination of movement and texture. You have talent, but lack of experience. As long as you train, you can definitely get better!"

On the train, Li Wannian was holding a drawing of Hojo Temple and explaining it to him.

Through Li Wannian’s guidance, Hojo Temple has benefited a lot.

Originally, Hojoji was unwilling to come. After all, he was not familiar with Li Wannian and had to follow him like a follower.

Thanks to Sawajiri Shi, he continued to persuade and finally succeeded in convincing Hojoji.

Among them, the most impressive thing about Hojoji Temple is: it doesn’t cost you money anyway, just treat it as a trip!

"Li Sang, thank you so much this time for actually being willing to bring Hojo with you!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm willing to communicate with cartoonists. Only by colliding with each other can we generate more sparks of inspiration."

"It's a pity that you can't stay for a few days this time. Hojo told me last night that he wanted to spend a few more days with you!"

"Huh? What am I...hiss..."

Hojoji, who was thinking about it, raised his head when he heard this and wanted to ask, "When did I say this?"

However, before he could speak, Sawajiri kicked him and interrupted his spellcasting.

"That's not easy. Isn't Hojo on summer vacation? You can go to Hong Kong Island with me and study in my studio!"

"what?"

"what?"

Sawajiri Shi and Hojoji said in unison.

However, the two people have very different ideas.

Of course Sawajiri was pleasantly surprised, and it was a great deal for Hojoji to receive personal guidance from Li Wannian for free.

Hojoji Temple, on the other hand, was only surprised but not happy.

Aren't you talking about comics?Why am I suddenly going to Hong Kong Island?
"Of course it's true, it just depends on whether Hojoji is willing to do it?"

Li Wannian nodded.

"Of course I..."

"Of course he would!"

Sawajiri Shi answered first again, but Hojoji looked at him as if he were an enemy.

"Let's go to the toilet first!"

After saying that, Sawajiri Shi took Hojoji and left.

"Why did you blindly agree for me?"

After getting out of this carriage, Hojoji broke away from Sawajiri Shi's control and said angrily.

"Of course you have to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Be his assistant?"

"Did you know that he has a very good relationship with Mr. Osamu Tezuka? As long as you work for him for a month and build a good relationship with him, you might be able to ask Mr. Osamu Tezuka for advice when you come back!"

"I……"

Hearing Tezuka Osamu, Hojoji felt a little moved.

Seeing that Hojoji Temple was interested, Sawajiri continued to persuade him.

"Besides, you don't have to pay, and you can go to Hong Kong Island for free!"

"Free travel is a good idea...wait, where have I heard this before?"
