Chapter 613 - Web Comic Volume (13): Celestial Wolf Has Been Released, Film Emperor Qin

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Well...” Qin Ran didn’t care much after hearing what Editor Shen said and just replied casually, “It’s ok, Editor Shen. You don’t have to be too stressed. I’m not publishing the second part of Celestial Wolf for money. It doesn’t matter if I’m overshadowed.”

“But you’re not...” After hearing Magic Lamp’s words, Editor Shen hesitated.

He remembered that Magic Lamp published the comic a few years ago because of a lack of money.

Qin Ran looked out the window. “I don’t lack money now. Let’s release it tomorrow at 9 am as planned.”

She was publishing the second volume of Celestial Wolf for the fans and all the researchers who were buried in Ninghai Town.

They hung up.

Qin Ran didn’t feel any pressure.

However, Editor Shen had a heavy heart when the call ended.

“She’s not willing to change it?” Assistant Cao was still there and looked solemn. “Honestly, you will be disadvantaged if she isn’t willing to change the release date. You’ve already planned to give your group’s god-level recommendation to Magic Lamp.”

At the start, she tried to persuade Editor Shen not to keep waiting for Magic Lamp’s return.

“Yes, she’s unwilling to change. Magic Lamp says that she isn’t short of money now, but...” Editor Shen shook his head. This wasn’t just a question of a lack of money.

If Yiyi Zining released her comic tomorrow, Magic Lamp would definitely be stepped on by her. Although there were many rumors now that Magic Lamp lost inspiration, she wasn’t a beginner, and she had a historic impact in the comic world.

When Yiyi Zining firmly undermined Magic Lamp tomorrow, her position in the comics industry would be solidified.

Most importantly...

“Yiyi Zining isn’t an ordinary person.” Editor Shen sat on a bench with many thoughts on his mind. “She has always been the most popular name in Shanghai. If she doesn’t let Magic Lamp off tomorrow, she can ruin Magic Lamp and our editorial department without doing much.”

Editor Shen didn’t expect Yiyi Zining to be so vicious, but now that he knew, he really wanted to change Magic Lamp’s release date.

Not only did he want to avoid Magic Lamp from being crushed, but he also wanted to expose Yiyi Zining’s weakness.

“Why didn’t you tell Magic Lamp the truth, then?” Assistant Cao shook his head.

Editor Shen took a deep breath. “The reason why this happened was that I didn’t consider it well. I will contact Yiyi Zining immediately and apologize. It’s useless to tell these things to Magic Lamp considering Yiyi Zining’s status... It’s better to let her remain calm and focus on her work.”

...

On the other hand, Qin Ran was unaware of what was going on.

Of course, she didn’t understand that a recommendation could result in such a messy fight.

After Qin Ran finished the call, she scrolled through her phone aimlessly.

After a long while, she lowered her head and looked at WeChat. After thinking about it, she sent a document to Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu: [Miss Qin, what’s this?]

Qin Ran pursed her lips and replied: [Take a look at it first.]

Cheng Mu took her comic and read it a few times.

Qin Ran had been arrogant for so long. When she was down with the virus, she was strangely calm. Now, after being absent for four years, she was a little awkward when facing the fans of Celestial Wolf who had been waiting for so long.

Maybe she wasn’t as arrogant as before because she was pregnant.

Qin Ran was afraid...

She was afraid that her fans would be disappointed tomorrow at 9 am.

Cheng Mu read things very quickly. The second volume of Celestial Wolf was filled with content, but he finished reading it in 2 minutes.

However, Cheng Mu didn’t reply to her for 3 minutes.

There was no news from Cheng Mu after 5 minutes.

10 minutes later.

Cheng Juan helped to dry her hair, then she stood up.

He put the towel away and looked at her expression. His smile was slightly constricted. He reached out to hug her and frowned. “Who upset you?”

Qin Ran looked down. “I will change it again.”

She put her phone aside and continued revising the comic on the computer.

Cheng Juan let go of her hand and glanced at her phone. Suddenly, her phone lit up frantically.

He raised his eyebrow and walked over to take a look.

Cheng Mu: [Ah! Ah! Ah! Sister-in-law, the second installation! You manage to get the second installation! I’m so overwhelmed right now!]

Cheng Mu: [Sister-in-law!]

Cheng Mu: [Save me!]

Cheng Mu: [Life is meaningless meme]

This was the first time Cheng Mu dared to spam Qin Ran with messages.

Cheng Juan laughed quietly. He wasn’t worried about his overreaction.

Cheng Mu couldn’t sleep at night after receiving Qin Ran’s message.

The next day, he chatted with Cheng Jin on WeChat with two dark eye circles. [I can’t believe she didn’t send me the second volume.]

Cheng Jin knew the whole story already.

[Are you sure Sister-in-law is someone who would hack someone’s computer to steal a copy?]

Cheng Mu: [Why does she have the second volume, then? The second volume of Celestial Wolf hasn’t been officially released yet.]

Cheng Jin: [Use your small brain to think about it.]

It took Cheng Mu to finally piece the puzzle together.

...

The entire Weibo was filled with news about The Realm of Gods and Yiyi Zining’s new comic.

In reality, the news about Magic Lamp’s Celestial Wolf was promoted too.

However, it was overshadowed by Don’t Ask The Heavens and Yiyi Zining, so it wasn’t as popular. Cheng Mu, who didn’t pay much attention to Weibo, wasn’t aware of it.

He didn’t know Qin Ran’s news until he learned it from Cheng Jin.

“Miss Qin, are you going to start promoting your comic?” Cheng Mu went to the kitchen to get Qin Ran’s breakfast from the chef. “By the way, Master Juan went to the Liu family and wants you to rest well today.”

Qin Ran acknowledged him lazily. She picked up her soy milk and said, “Promotion starts today.”

After hearing this, Cheng Mu went to look at Weibo. The topic of web novels was popular, but it was only about Yiyi Zining’s new comic. Cheng Mu directly searched for Magic Lamp.

Sure enough, news that it would be released at 9 am was found.

He clicked on the most popular result on Weibo.

It was official news released by Pinnacle Studios’s official account.

There were only about 700 comments below.

It was a good response compared to the average comic book author.

However, the latest comments were an eyesore.

I’m Just A Primary School Student: Don’t draw if you can’t draw anymore. Isn’t it good to just leave the first part of Celestial Wolf?

litth: Honestly, I’m not optimistic about Magic Lamp, especially since Yiyi Zining is leading and Magic Lamp’s era has ended. The popular trends in the comic industry have changed many times and Magic Lamp hasn’t kept up. Heroism comics are no longer mainstream.

Cheng Mu couldn’t help but frown. He went to his own Weibo account and replied coldly.

[I’ll wait for you all to cry and beg her for it.]

Cheng Mu was no longer the same person he used to be. He looked at the anti-fans on Weibo and frowned. After thinking about it, he sent them to Qin Xiuchen’s manager.

...

Cheng Mu wasn’t the only one watching the news on Weibo. Pinnacle Studios’ editors were also monitoring the situation.

They weren’t surprised that Yiyi Zining was suppressing Magic Lamp. They only hoped that Yiyi Zining would belittle Magic Lamp even more.

At 9 am.

Pinnacle Studios’s office.

Mo Zhihuai refreshed the Pinnacle Studios app.

Sure enough, the second volume of Celestial Wolf had already been uploaded.

Mo Zhihuai realized that the comments were very quiet.

He liked a comment by someone called “Supreme Cruise Line” before taking a look.

When Mo Zhihuai viewed it, he realized that he could choose 4D viewing by clicking a button on the lower-left corner of the comic.

Due to progress made by the Qin family, the 3D virtual projection was enabled on current mobile phone technology.

It was just that new digital art software was needed to create 4D comics. Pinnacle Studios was prepared to venture into 4D comics, which would definitely become the next trend.

But...

Mo Zhihuai didn’t expect that Celestial Wolf would be the first 4D comic.

His secretary beside him put his documents on Mo Zhihuai’s table. When he looked up, he saw the drawings projected on the desk.

He meant to only glance over casually, but he was quickly drawn in by the second drawing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

10 minutes later.

The secretary lost focus for the first time in front of Mo Zhihuai. “President, are you sure... that... there isn’t any left...”

Mo Zhihuai was calmer than him. He stretched his hands and looked at him with his bright eyes. “No.”

Only then did the secretary withdraw his gaze. He was prepared to search for this comic. When he saw the title, he was shocked. “Is this the second volume of Celestial Wolf? What a pity...” he said subconsciously.

Mo Zhihuai was about to look at it again. When he heard the secretary, he couldn’t help but ask, “A pity?”

“It would have been okay if this was released last year or a year later. Unfortunately, it clashes with Yiyi Zining.” The secretary shook his head.

He had heard of Yiyi Zining’s revenge.

Yiyi Zining alone had almost 80,000 Weibo comments while Magic Lamp only had hundreds of comments. However, Magic Lamp’s story was definitely good.

That’s why he felt that it was a pity.

Downstairs.

Editor Shen looked haggard. He walked out of the office in dismay.

“What did Yiyi Zining’s editor say?” Assistant Cao looked at him.

Editor Shen shook his head.

Assistant Cao also expected this result and wasn’t very surprised. He only frowned. “They’re going all out. Will Magic Lamp be alright? The momentum will start at 7 pm.”

“She’s fine.” When Magic Lamp was mentioned, Editor Shen’s mood improved. “I’m afraid she’s still sleeping.”

“If Yiyi Zining doesn’t want to let her off, only the fans can save Magic Lamp.” Assistant Cao sighed. “It would be great if Magic Lamp gets more views than Yiyi Zining. If there are many fans, Yiyi Zining’s editor won’t dare to be more vicious.”

However, they knew that it was almost impossible for her to surpass Yiyi Zining.

...

At the same time.

After Qin Xiuchen finished shooting an advertisement, he walked to the lounge and realized that his manager was in a daze.

“What’s wrong with him?” Qin Xiuchen asked his assistant.

“He seemed to be chatting with Cheng Mu just now,” his assistant replied.

Hearing their voices, his manager finally came back to his senses. He looked at Qin Xiuchen worriedly. “It’s over. I hope you can forgive me for one thing.”
