The next morning, Li Mochen received another call from Nannet Drew.
He thought that Ms. Drew's communication was about their war with the Ferguson Media Group. But when the call connected, the person on the other end of the line was talking about his manga.
"You won't be able to guess the sales figures of your comic the day before yesterday! There are a total of 232,000 copies nationwide, and it's estimated that they've been sold out by today. Your comic is already showing signs of being popular — "
Li Mochen was taken aback. There were only 800,000 copies scheduled for the first edition.
"How can there be so many? Weren't there only a few hundred thousand copies sold on the first day? "
"That's just in Atlanta. I think the reason for the explosive growth is partly because of the sustained efforts of your fans, and partly because of the outbreak of word-of-mouth."
Ms. Drew chuckled. "I've already asked the printing house to print an additional three million copies."
"Is there enough time? Isn't three million too radical? "
Li Mochen still lacked a little confidence in this comic of his. It was mainly because he had been hit hard before.
"I've asked people to prepare the materials in advance. So it's estimated that there will be 200,000 copies left the factory tonight and sent to all parts of the country."
Ms. Drew chuckled. "Boss, even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the quality of Firefly Media's publishing department. Their estimates are similar to mine. There's no problem of not being able to sell out. So the question now is, when can the second volume of 'The Furious Heavenly King' be completed? "
Li Mochen hesitated. He had imagined the plot of the second volume, but he hadn't started writing it yet.
"I hope you can take it seriously and complete the second volume as soon as possible, boss. Although this income is nothing to you, boss, it's very important to the future 'Rising Sun Media.' This will be a stable cash flow that will help improve our operating situation. A beautiful financial report will be beneficial to our future financing. "
Ms. Drew probably guessed Li Mochen's situation. She smiled and persuaded, "I think this will also help you establish a fighting expert image, boss, and help you attract fans nationwide. What do you think, boss? I also hope to use your comic to make a name for myself and open up channels. I think the company can do more in the comic field. In fact … I've already gathered a few artists to try and design some industrial works based on the plot and routines of Heavenly King. This is a very promising boss. "
…
At the same time, in the gymnasium of Rowland College in Manhattan, Clive Dander was wearing protective gear and looking at his opponent in panic. On the other side of the line, his coach was shouting at him.
"Let me ask you, where is your courage, Dunder? I heard that you were often bullied in class. How come when it comes to practice, you also become a soft-footed shrimp? "
"That's just a training sword. You also have armor on you, so you don't have to be afraid, okay? Even if I'm hit, it won't hurt. "
"Did you not eat your fill, AH? You can't even hold your sword properly? "
Clive Dander's face was covered with sweat. He tried to hold his sword tightly, but his arm still trembled uncontrollably.
Ever since he joined the Sharp Weapon Combat Club, this was the first time he had actual combat training. An eleventh year, an opponent at the level of the main competition, made him feel even more pressured.
"Don't be nervous, junior. After getting used to it a few times, you'll find that actual combat training is just that. EMM, I've seen a few people like you before. At first, you don't have confidence and are especially nervous. But after a period of practice, your personality will change a lot. "
The senior opposite him was still very friendly, and his words made Clive Dander relax a little. However, just as he was about to adjust his emotions, the figure five meters away suddenly accelerated.
Warrior Skill — Brutal Charge!
Clive Dander was caught off guard and could only barely block the sword in front of him. After a loud clang, his body involuntarily staggered back.
At the same time, the sword in the opponent's hand slashed diagonally from the lower left corner again. It was like a falling leaf suddenly flying up under the influence of the wind.
Warrior Skill — Falling Leaf Slash!
Clive Dander's mind went blank, and then he stabbed the sword in his hand twice without thinking. It was an action that he had pondered many times in his mind over the past two days, and he almost instinctively executed it.
First, he slashed down in a predetermined position. Sure enough, as described in the manga, in the middle of the Falling Leaf Slash, the end of the opponent's sword could not gather momentum. Warriors below the 9S level could not make corresponding adjustments to their combat skills according to the actual situation of the battle.
After another loud clang, the opponent's sword was deflected in the opposite direction. So, without thinking, Clive Dander stabbed forward again, and then the tip of the sword accurately pierced the opponent's forehead, making another "clang" sound.
"Wow!"
The senior staggered back under the effect of the sword power and finally sat on the ground. He covered his forehead with his hand and looked at his junior with an incredulous expression. "Clive, you actually won? Sh * t, what the hell just happened? "
The scene just now happened too quickly, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was already knocked down by his junior.
Why did his Falling Leaf Slash fail? He had clearly disrupted his opponent's footsteps, and this should have been the best time to use the "Falling Leaf Slash" to finish off his opponent in one blow.
"Where did you learn this move? You actually countered Bren's Falling Leaf Slash? "
The club's coach walked to the sidelines and looked at his student in astonishment. "Not bad, it just so happens to target the weakness of the Falling Leaf Slash. It's just that it's a little risky and requires a certain level of judgement."
Clive Dander was also in disbelief. He looked at the sword in his hand, seemingly unable to believe that he had won, unable to believe that those two swords had come from his own hands.
It was only after a long while did he raise his head, a smile on his face. There was even a hint of pride in his expression. "It's a manga! It's Andre Lee Wildenstein's' Furious Heavenly King '. "
"Manga?"
His coach and senior did not understand, and they looked at each other in astonishment.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you learned this move from a manga? "
"That's exactly what I mean – wait up!"
After saying that, Clive Dander turned and hurried into the locker room. Not long after, he returned with a manga in his hand and hurriedly ran before the two of them.
"In this manga, not only does it say how to counter the Falling Leaf Slash, it also teaches people how to train their bodies. I've been trying it out according to the method in the manga for the past two days, and I feel that it's quite effective. "
At that moment, it was not just his coach and senior, but more than half of the people in the gymnasium were looking at them with sidelong glances.
Clive Dander, who was only a level 3 magical ability professional, was able to defeat the level 4 and experienced Bren. This in itself made them surprised and curious.
