Started as a comics editor

Chapter 160 Linkage Card Pool
Avalon.

Li Xue has been paying close attention to the situation at ANF recently, especially the series of activities and the launch of the comics.

She is not surprised that the activity of purchasing anime series can cause a collective carnival among users.

But something that surprised her was... the activities in the comics section.

originally.

Li Xue's idea is to use the serialization of Tang Yao's new work "Chainsaw Man" to build momentum for the comics section. Simply put, Chainsaw Man is just an introduction, which serves to make readers pay attention to the comics section, and then let cartoonists know that ANF has been promoting comics recently.

And now, readers and cartoonists have indeed noticed the comics section of ANF.

But "Chainsaw Man" is more than just an introduction...

This new work has also become a touchstone for verifying the quality of the ANF comics section.

Those cartoonists who are interested in trying their hand at ANF...are all keeping an eye on the situation with "Chainsaw Man".

After discovering this.

Li Xue frowned immediately, not because she didn't believe Tang Yao.

But as someone who has been through it, she knows very well that the future cannot be placed on one person's shoulders. This is very unfair to the other person. Risk is secondary. Avalon's core business is not websites or comics, but games.

Even if the comics section is completely ruined, as long as the gaming business is not affected, it won't be a serious blow.

It may not even affect ANF.

But for Tang Yao... the pressure is too great.

Avalon's gaming business itself requires her to be involved in all aspects except technical aspects.

She did all the dubbing work herself.

She also drew the comics herself.

Now the comics she draws also have to shoulder the responsibility of reflecting the value of the ANF comics section, which is really too heavy a burden.

Li Xue didn't want this to happen.

She really wanted to change this situation... but there was no good way at the moment. She couldn't ask Tang Yao to stop updating, right?
To be honest, her many years as a comics editor prevented her from making such a decision because it would be unfair to the readers.

And if updates are suddenly stopped, no one knows whether it will bring other impacts.

So Li Xue was very distressed.

And just when I was racking my brains, thinking about how to solve this problem.

"Miss Li, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Yao's soft voice rang out: "Why are you frowning like this?"

"..."

Li Xue looked up when she heard that, but before she could say anything, she found a cup of coffee being handed to her mouth.

She was slightly startled, and her eyes slowly moved upwards, seeing Tang Yao's fair and delicate pretty face.

A smile appeared on Tang Yao's face: "Want to drink?"

"……Thanks."

Li Xue reacted, reached out to take the coffee, and took a sip. The bitterness was mixed with a hint of sweetness, which seemed to instantly relieve her inner anxiety.

the other side.

Tang Yao pulled out a chair and sat down next to her, curiously asking, "So what happened?"

Li Xue hesitated for a moment, then chose to tell the truth: "...Anyway, I'm a little worried. With all eyes on 'Chainsaw Man,' is this too much of a burden for you?"

"So that's what you're worried about..."

Although Tang Yao has been tinkering with the fragmented narrative of "Dou Pai" these days, she is also paying attention to the situation on the website.

So she quickly understood what Li Xue was worried about, smiled, and replied directly: "It's okay! If we want to develop the comic section of ANF, we really need a benchmark. I am still very confident in the work "Chainsaw Man". Besides, everyone has pressure, and I have good ability to withstand pressure. After all, don't look at me like this-"

Speaking of which.

She raised her waist slightly, reached out and patted her plump breasts, and joked, "I'm a great cartoonist now, after all!"

...trembling.

"..."

Li Xue looked at this scene, pursed her rosy red lips, and a strange look appeared on her pretty face.

Is this something that a cartoonist can't see?

But another point does come to mind.

the other side.

After Tang Yao finished boasting, she also laughed at herself. However, as soon as she smiled, she noticed Li Xue's expression, realized something, and her face turned slightly red: "Don't tell me you are thinking about something else!?" Li Xue couldn't help laughing and immediately shook her head: "No!"

"not yet!"

Tang Yao glared at her lightly, then snatched the cup from her, raised it and pretended to drink, trying to cover her face.

But how could the cup block the face?

So she just keeps on going tons and tons.

Seeing Tang Yao trying so hard to hide her shyness, Li Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"..."

Tang Yao drank most of the water before putting it down. "Don't let your imagination run wild. I want to tell you something serious... I came to talk to you about the ANF comics section."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Li Xue quickly put away the smile on her face and straightened her expression.

Tang Yao asked back, "Do you still remember what I told you about meeting Rumi last time?"

Li Xue nodded: "Yeah...but didn't she say later that she was busy with the serialization and didn't have time?"

"She just contacted me again."

Tang Yao said, "And he seems to be very interested in the comics section of our website."

"...You want to invite her to our website?"

Li Xue widened her beautiful eyes slightly, somewhat in disbelief.

"Of course not, how could she come here?"

Tang Yao shook her head and raised her white, tender fingers. "I'm planning on... promoting a joint card pool for FGO and her work 'Nightfall.' Besides being concerned about the ANF environment, aren't those cartoonists also curious about how much they can earn from a collaboration with FGO? So, let's set a benchmark for them... Since we want to build momentum, let's do both.

On the one hand, "Chainsaw Man" allows them to take a good look and see that ANF's comics can also break the circle.

On the other hand, we're leveraging the immense popularity of the manga artist Rumi, combined with the game's inherent popularity, to launch the first collaborative card pool, showcasing their potential to generate revenue!"

"..."

Li Xue was stunned, as if she didn't expect... Tang Yao not only didn't feel any pressure, but started to increase the stakes.

"Your idea is fine."

Tang Yao knew what Li Xue was thinking and explained, "Don't think you're wrong. Didn't you say at the beginning that ANF still needs to focus on the comics section and introduce some unique comics to attract ACG users?
Our website happens to have "Fate/Zero", and the comics section itself is very popular. As long as we set a benchmark, have a popular work, and combine it with competitive remuneration and profit-sharing mechanism, we don't have to worry about not being able to attract cartoonists in the future.

Why are you worried about me now? Don't worry, I was already prepared when I gave you the manuscript of "Chainsaw Man"! You did a great job! "

"..."

Li Xue was slightly startled when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she smiled brightly: "You are coaxing the child..."

"You're quite happy."

Tang Yao tilted her head and smiled, "Anyway, just be at ease... But you still have to step in regarding the linkage."

"The game requires me to show up?"

"It's not about the game, it's about negotiating with that Rumi teacher... I'm not very good at this kind of work. I've already made an appointment with her. Come with me to meet her tomorrow."

"..."

Tang Yao just finished speaking.

Li Xue's beautiful eyes lit up slightly: "Tomorrow, I will meet Teacher Rumi?"

"Ah."

Tang Yao nodded, then noticed her expression and asked curiously, "You seem very excited?"

"certainly……"

Li Xue responded, pressing her slender fingertips together, and said with some longing, "After all, that's Teacher Rumi. She used to submit her work at Wenxin Pavilion, but later changed jobs. However, she has made an indelible contribution to Wenxin Pavilion's success. She can be considered a legend of Wenxin Pavilion. After all, I have worked at Wenxin Pavilion for so many years... I am really looking forward to meeting her."

"Oh--"

Seeing this older sister acting so girlishly, Tang Yao replied in a drawn-out tone.

then.

She thought about it, suddenly moved her chair and leaned towards Li Xue.

Li Xue noticed it but didn't react yet.

Tang Yao suddenly raised her arms, cupped her soft face, and said, "I'm a cartoonist too."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao's flawless and impeccable face, and was slightly startled. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "I know..."
