The discussion between "Steel Forge" and the water army and tap water has become more and more intense on the Internet, and the popularity of "Steel Forged" has also risen.

The gap between "Steel" and "Sky Wolf" is not small, and now after such a trouble, the gap between the two comics is even greater.

Duan Ping was so angry that he almost hit the wall, why did he turn that Weibo if he had nothing to do?

"Steel Refining" was already popular, but now not only some people are discussing the plot, but also people are arguing about whether "Steel Refining" invited a water army, and the popularity has increased by 1/3.

Hey, a typical rock-shooter in the foot.

Now he finally understands that the popularity list is not all praised, even if there are negative reviews, as long as it does not hurt the root, it is completely a positive buff.

"High popularity does not mean good sales."

This Weibo is full of sour taste, and it is also a portrayal of his heart.

He paid 12,000 for a manuscript, and the money he got was not more than that of "Steel Refining"? In the final analysis, the ranking of the popularity list is unreasonable.

But then again, the popularity also shows that "Steelcore" does have something outstanding, otherwise, why wouldn't other comics be ranked first?

Between advance and retreat, Duan Ping didn't know how to choose.

The magazine Comic Future was also indignant about it, but it was not time for them to focus too much on it.

The strong rise of "Steel" has stabilized the sales of "Comic Future" from a low of less than 4 million to about 4.4 million copies today.

The publication of the "Intricate Central (I)" chapter made the magazine's sales reach 4.5 million copies.

If this is the credit of the water army, Shang Haozhi hopes that there will be more such water army.

At the same time, the editorial office is also preparing a new magazine in January, in which Hunting the Abyss will make a strong comeback. The first episode after the return, more than 40 pages.

At that time, the double insurance created by "Steel" and "Hunting Abyss" should stabilize the sales of "Comic Future".

In addition to this, the release of the 9th volume of "Steel" is also in the preparation stage.

In District 11, printed comics have already arrived in major bookstores and are ready to be sold, and Huaxia is ready to deal with other contingencies, albeit a little later.

In this case, the last issue of "Comic Future" was released this year, and at the same time, with the publication of "Intricate Central (Part II)", this plot is also at the end.

With the help of the fire generated by the flint and steel, Roy launched a flame offensive based on the refining array on his back.

The continuous high-temperature flames depleted the "Philosopher's Stone" in Rust's body.

Raist's final blow, the spikes of his fingers, was only a millimeter away from Roy's forehead, but her movements stopped.

"Although I am very unwilling, it is not bad to be killed by a man like you...... I love your unhesitating, honest eyes......"

After saying goodbye to Roy, Rust turned to ashes, and even the "Philosopher's Stone" in his body turned into debris in the process.

And the storyboard of "The Philosopher's Stone" falling and turning into ashes with the wind has also caused discussion among readers.

That kind of dynamism that gradually disappears, many domestic cartoonists can't do it.

Then, the story also came to an end.

Bradley, who was standing outside the door with a sword in his hand, did not enter, and after putting away his sword, he paced away with his hands behind his back.

But does this end the story?

Not really.

Edward followed Abstron and joined Roy's subordinate Bleda.

……

Readers read the last page in one go, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.

"I thought Bradley was going to war?"

"If you go to war, these people will die!"

"I hate this feeling, after the big war, everything is boring......"

"Don't say it so disgusting, it's tasteless or something, I don't know!"

"Although this part of the plot has come to an end for the time being, have you noticed that Edward's branch line has also come out."

"That's right...... Guess what Roy was trying to break up Edward? ”

"Of course, it's because I'm afraid Edward will make trouble."

"You don't understand what I mean. With Edward's temper, if he were to be kicked out for a trumped-up reason, would he come back and be in trouble with Roy? Roy wasn't stupid either, and wouldn't make an excuse to get Edward away. To put it bluntly, Edward's branch plot has other important plots. ”

After the reader's analysis, many people have also clarified their thinking.

"Damn, I just felt boring, and now I'm suddenly alive again!"

"Me too, wondering what happened to Edward. These foreshadowings are too buried, right? ”

"Just look at it later, I want to read every word of "Steel".

"You guys...... I suggest that you better read it again, lest there be foreshadowing and you don't know it. ”

"Yes. Re-read the previous "Steel" again......"

……

There is no suspense in the latest issue of the small book, and "Steel" once again won the first place. At the same time, the popularity list has also completed four consecutive weeks of "dominating the list", but the second place is "Sky Wolf", which is mainly free.

Free comics, which were supposed to have the upper hand, are now falling behind.

As some readers said on the Internet, there are still many people who are willing to go to big restaurants despite the cheaper prices in small restaurants.

It's not about the price, even if it's a comic, it gives people a different feeling.

On December 26, the 9th volume of "Steel Forged" was released in the 11th district, and with the help of the "wolf smoke of the counterattack (upper and lower)" and the "intricate center (upper and lower)", the 9th volume of "Steel Forged" sold well, and 100,000 copies were sold on the first day, becoming the best-selling single book since the release of the single book of "Steel Forged" in the 11th district.

The statistics were handed over to Toru Murakami, and after Murakami saw it, he was overjoyed, and it was inferred from this number that 500,000 copies in the first week should not have run.

I don't know what the sales of "Steel Forge" in China will look like.

Murakami Toru also has a hint of anticipation.

……

After receiving the manuscript of the new sentence, Wang Wenhong read it roughly twice, and there were no mistakes, and put the manuscript in the envelope again.

"The new issue of the magazine is selling well, and the single book in District 11 is also selling well. Although the reputation of "Steel Forge" on the Internet is mixed, when the sales of volume 9 come out, they will be able to slap the faces of those rumor-mongers. Wang Wenhong snorted coldly, and to this day, he still feels resentful of those messages.

"I'm waiting, too." Shen Xin wiped his nose and chuckled.

"The magazine is going to make an announcement a week after the release of "Steel Refining", which is more convincing. Teacher Shen, you may have to wait a little longer. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's a day sooner or later." Shen Xin looked up at Wang Wenhong who was standing on the side of the workbench, "The magazine is better now, right?" ”

"Of course...... In a few days, Duoman will start to charge, and our pressure should be less. At the same time, "Hunting the Abyss" is re-serialized, and "Steel" can also be slowed down a little, so that "Hunting Abyss" and "King of Rock and Roll" can hold on for a while. Wang Wenhong said.

"Wait a minute, Brother Wang, you seem to have some misunderstanding of "Steel Refining". Shen Xin chuckled, "Whether "Steel Forged" should be slowed down, and whether "Hunting Abyss" is serialized or not, has nothing to do with it. ”

"Huh?" Wang Wenhong was stunned.

"I mean, I still have to fight for the first place in the double list in January."

Wang Wenhong raised his eyebrows slightly, and then the corners of his mouth curled, "That's good, I also hope that "Steel Refining" can always get the first." ”

Shen Xin smiled but did not speak.
