Food: I was a cartoonist in Totsuki

The comic currently drawn by Tong Yu is "Zhonghua Ichiban".

As for what kind of rewards you can get, it depends on the popularity after release.

The more fans there are, the more generous rewards Tong Yu will receive.

The rewards are directly related to the comics. You may obtain props, skills, character abilities, etc. in the comics, and even open a time and space channel to the comic world.

In addition, tools such as paper and color pens for drawing comics are provided by the system.

And the paintbrush is very magical. Just hold it in your hand and think about what you want to draw, and the paintbrush will automatically draw it.The same goes for coloring pens, which can automatically color according to your imagination.

Therefore, even Tong Yu can easily draw an entire comic volume by himself.

"Tong Yujun, can I read your comics? I've been looking forward to your comics." Yi Sehui narrowed his eyes at Tong Yu and smiled.

Isekhui knew about this when she started drawing comics, and she had been looking forward to it for more than half a month.

"Okay, Senior Isshiki, feel free to take a look at it," Tong Yu said.

With Tong Yu's permission, Yisehui picked up the comic manuscript on the table and read it.

Although these comics have not yet been colored, it does not affect the overall reading.

"Magic Mapo Tofu with six flavors integrated into it? What an interesting dish."

"The rules of Yangquan Restaurant are too old-fashioned. It would be nice if the protagonist and Tang Sanjie can stay together at Yangquan Restaurant with a little change."

……

The more Isekhui read, the more fascinated she became, and she read all the comics without even realizing it.

"Hey, have you finished reading?"

Only then did Yi Sehui come back to her senses. She put down the comic in her hand without finishing it and looked at Tong Yu who was drinking tea leisurely. "Tong Yujun, has the protagonist finally passed the test of a special chef?"

"Well, I became the youngest special chef in history. Senior Isshiki, what do you think of my comic?" Tong Yu asked.

"A very exciting food comic with twists and turns, ups and downs, and exciting plot. Especially the dishes that appear in it are also quite interesting." Isekhui praised without hesitation.

Indeed, when the anime "Chinese Ichiban" was broadcast in Tong Yu's original world, it was well received by the audience, not to mention that it is still in the gourmet world of Shokuge no Soul.

As a gourmet food show, it suits the appetite of most people.

[Ding, the number of fans is +1, the current total number of fans is 1]

At this moment, the sound of system prompts also came.

Obviously, this fan is undoubtedly Isekui in front of him.

There is no problem with comics. What needs to be done now is how to distribute these comics, which means finding a comic book company to cooperate with.

Thinking of this, Tong Yu asked Isekhui: "Senior Isek, do you have any recommended comic clubs? I want to publish the comics before school starts."

It is the Yuanyue holiday now, and the traffic of comics released during the holiday will be higher than on weekdays.

"There is a manga club in Totsuki Academy. If Tong Yu-kun is ready, I can contact you." Isshiki Hui said.

"Then thank you, Senior Isshiki. I'll treat you to a meal after the work is done." Tong Yu thanked me.

As the seventh seat of Yuanyue, Yise Hui has a wider network of contacts than Tong Yu. If he helps introduce people, it will save a lot of effort.

"Ha, no need. If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and fill in the plot at the end of the comic. I want to see the protagonist participating in the special chef plot." Isshiki Hui said.

After Yisehui left, Tong Yu continued to work.

Tong Yu then spent another three days to completely complete the first volume of "Zhonghua Ichiban".

The story in this volume ends before the protagonist Liu Pleiades takes the examination for a special chef.

It mainly tells the story of Liu Pleiades' defeating Shaoan and becoming the chef of Juxialou, and then going to Yangquan Restaurant to hone his cooking skills.

Tong Yu deliberately stuck the plot at the special chef assessment to create suspense and make readers look forward to the next plot. The purpose is also to attract more fans.

Everything was ready, and Isekhui also made an appointment with people from the comic club to meet.

Chapter 3 Hardcore Fans

""Chinese Ichiban", is this a gourmet program introducing Chinese cuisine?"

In the comics club, editor-in-chief Shinji Hirota was looking at the comics drawn by Tong Yu carefully.

Totsuki Gakuen, as one of the world's leading culinary schools, not only has advanced facilities and complete supporting facilities, but also has everything you need in all its departments.

Among them, "Totsuki Comic Club" is one of the departments. Even though it is just a comics club within Totsuki campus, it has many cooperation channels. The most popular comics in recent years are published and distributed from here.

"Glowing egg fried rice, mapo tofu in six flavors, and Shenglong dumplings that can stand up. It seems like an exaggerated technique, but it is refreshing, and the character portrayal and storyline are also very good."

After reading a few chapters, Shinji Haotian was attracted by the content of "Chinese Ichiban". He put it down with some reluctance and looked at Tong Yu: "You are the only one who wrote these comics? "

"Yes." Tong Yu nodded.

After hearing this, Shinji Haotian was very surprised and said: "You painted it alone? It must have taken a lot of energy! I thought that this kind of masterpiece was made by a team, but I didn't expect that it was done by you alone. , it’s really amazing.”

After Haotian Shinji finished speaking, Tong Yu heard the system prompt again.

The original number of fans "1" has also become "2".

"Fortunately, it didn't take much time. Are you interested in cooperating on this comic?" Tong Yu asked.

"Cooperate, definitely cooperate. Please be sure to give the publishing rights of this comic to our comic club!"

Shinji Haotian looked at Tong Yu with excitement and said, "Sign the contract immediately to publish this comic. Don't worry, since Isshiki introduced you, we will never treat you badly in terms of remuneration."

Tong Yu actually doesn't care much about the remuneration for comics, as long as it's passable.

He just wants to accumulate more fans now. Only when he has more fans can he receive the rewards from the system.

You must know that Tong Yu does not only have the comic "Zhonghua Ichiban", he has many other comics he can draw.

The main purpose of releasing "Zhonghua Ichiban" first is actually to accumulate popularity and fans.

After everything was settled and the contract was signed, the next thing Tong Yu had to do was to wait patiently.

Three days later, news came from Totsuki Comics that "Chinese Ichiban" was officially released.

Tong Yu's manuscript for Yuanyue Comics Club consists of 30 chapters, and the comic club published the first volume and the second volume successively.

On the day of its release, the comic was sought after and loved by many people. The originally prepared 20 copies were sold out at noon that day.

This shocked the people at the comics club. Even though they predicted that the comic would be very popular, they didn't expect it to be so popular.

After learning that the comics were sold out, Shinji Hirota immediately contacted the printing factory to increase production.

In just 24 hours, the sales volume of "Chinese Ichiban" reached a terrifying 50 copies, and major comic stores were also in short supply.

In three days, the circulation exceeded 200 million, and major comic stores were still in short supply.

Generally speaking, if a newly released comic has a sales volume of 20 in the previous week, it is considered very good, but this comic only broke through in the morning.

And this is only the first volume. I can’t imagine how popular this comic will be once it is fully released.

Nowadays, people can be seen everywhere on the streets holding the comic "Zhonghua Ichiban" in their hands.

Inside a small restaurant called "Xingping"

"Dad, try the 'Magic Mapo Tofu' I made!"

Yukihira Soma brought a plate of mapo tofu that had just come out of the pot to Ichiro Saiba.

"Magic Mapo Tofu? Isn't it just ordinary Mapo Tofu? There's nothing special about it," Joichiro said while staring at Soma's cooking.

"Don't worry about it for now. Just try it first and then talk about it." Chuangzhen said with a grin.

Seeing Souma's confidence, Joichiro picked up the spoon on the side and tasted it.

Well?

As soon as Joichiro ate it, he felt something unusual about this mapo tofu.

"Hey, although the taste of this mapo tofu is nothing special, its texture is different from ordinary ones..." Joichiro said in surprise.

"Hahaha, dad is surprised, isn't it? Because this mapo tofu has a 'crispy' texture!" Soma said proudly, seeing Joichiro's surprised look.

Joichiro is also a first-class chef after all, and he immediately understood after hearing this: "So, ordinary Mapo tofu only has five flavors: spicy, fragrant, color, hot, and numb, but this Mapo tofu has more ground meat." Crispy texture.”

"This cuisine is indeed interesting, but why are you suddenly interested in Chinese cuisine?"

"That's because I read this comic!"

Soma said and took out "Zhonghua Ichiban".

"Zhonghua Ichiban, is this a food comic?"

"Yes, this is a food comic that was released recently. There are many interesting dishes in this comic. I am going to cook every one of them."

"Really, show me quickly."

Joichiro said as he took the comic from Soma's hand and read it with interest.

It’s not just Yukihira and his son, there are many people who have been influenced by the manga "Chongka Ichiban". They also tried to recreate the dishes that appeared in the manga, but many people failed without the cooking skills of Soma.

There are only a few people like Soma who are simply interested in the dishes that appear in the comics. The vast majority of people go there for the content of the comics.

Some people think that the dishes described in the comics are too exaggerated. Dishes like "Phoenix Crystal" cannot be made at all and are just sensational.

Some people even think that this cartoon is completely fabricated and misleads people's understanding of food.

Of course, this group of people only accounts for a very small minority. 95% of readers think "Zhonghua Ichiban" is a food comic worth pursuing.

As a comic author, Tong Yu doesn't care that much about the impact of comics. He just hopes that the number of fans will be larger so that he can unlock more privileges of the system.
