A club.
Two men are having dinner together.
One of the men took a bite of food and whispered, "Tianmen, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?"
"I don't want to do that either."
The man on the other side said, "But the tribe offers too much. It's an offer we can't refuse..."
Yes.
These two people are Tianmen and Ye Shenchen, the two top-notch cartoonists invited by the New Website Alliance.
Of course this is just their pen name.
When they communicate privately, they also like to call each other by their pen names.
"But our reputation will be bad if we do this. We will be like corporate spies, and the alliance will be severely damaged. Han Jimei, who is so confidant to us, will be held responsible for his poor performance."
After all, moral shackles still exist.
However, Ye Shenchen was more worried about his reputation.
Tianmen said calmly: "For cartoonists, works are the foundation of their careers. If our works are good enough, then our reputation will not be affected too much. If the works are too bad, no matter how good our reputation is, it cannot be used to make a living. As for Han Jimei, we can only say that she is too particular about human relationships and her style of doing things is soft. When she encounters an opponent like Lingkong who will do anything to achieve his goals, it is inevitable that she will suffer losses. If she learns a lesson from this, she will suffer less losses in the future."
Ye Shenchen nodded.
That seems to be the case.
They did betray Han Jimei's trust.
But it is not likely that fame will affect their future. Cartoonists are just behind the scenes, not the stars in the front. There are many creators with bad character.
After a while of cursing, it will be over.
As long as the work is good, readers won't care about all that commercial competition shit.
"I'm afraid of crossing the river and destroying the bridge..."
"The new contract Lingkong gave us has a sky-high penalty, and he also promised in the contract to help us pay the penalty on the alliance's side, so he won't burn the bridge after crossing the river. If he really wants to pay a sky-high penalty to burn our bridge, then no one will believe him when he goes to other companies to poach people in the future."
Tianmen is not worried about this.
Lingkong knows the basic rules of business competition.
The reason why he and Ye Shenchen joined the alliance was to use this as a threat to negotiate terms with the tribe.
Now his goal has been achieved.
Now it is just a matter of choosing the right tree for the bird. He sacrificed a little reputation in exchange for huge benefits.
He made what he thought was the right choice.
Ye Shenchen nodded seriously: "Then I can only apologize to Shadow and the Alliance. People die for money and birds die for food. There is no reason for us to give up such generous conditions offered by the tribe for the sake of the Alliance. After all, we left the tribe and joined the Alliance because the contract given to us by the tribe was too harsh. Although the method now is not glorious, at least we got the contract that the tribe dreamed of..."
Speaking of this.
Ye Shenchen suddenly spoke up: "Tianmen, do you think the Alliance still has hope of fighting the Horde after this heavy loss?"
"Oh."
Tianmen let out a meaningless laugh.
A few seconds later, Ye Shenchen also laughed.
The two raised their glasses, clinked them together, and each took a small sip.
Everything is implied.
Even if the two of them plus the shadow cooperated, they could never be a match for the tribe.
If the Alliance is really a place where they can make a living, why would they return to the Horde even at the cost of damaging their reputation
Everyone has morals.
It's just a different height.
…
Newly opened alliance.
Readers searched repeatedly but could not find new works by Ye Shenchen and Tianmen.
At first everyone thought it was a technical failure and it didn’t cause much of a stir.
But when everyone finished watching the latest update of "Detective Chu Yu" and still didn't see any new works from the two, someone finally noticed something was wrong.
"Why haven't Tianmen and Ye Shenchen made any move yet?"
“The new website has been up for about half an hour!”
"Did they run away?"
“Are you standing up our readers?”
"If they really ran away, then they are not standing up our readers, but standing up the alliance!"
"It must be a malfunction. It's inevitable when setting up a new website."
"The problem shouldn't be that serious. Maybe we are overthinking it. Let's wait and see."
"… "
Netizens became suspicious.
Just at this moment.
A comment suddenly appeared on the Internet!
"Oh shit! Something big has happened! Check out the tribe's propaganda!"
tribe
Netizens were stunned and immediately opened the blog.
The next moment, a promotion popped up in front of everyone’s eyes!
Tianmen Ye Shenchen’s new work is exclusively released on Tribal Comics. Welcome both teachers home!!!
Crash!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
What are you doing
Did these two run back to the alliance
“It was all in vain.”
"I'd better read comics here in the tribe."
"Do these two have any professional ethics? Didn't they say before that they couldn't reach an agreement with the Horde on the contract, so they joined the Alliance? The Alliance is going to be screwed by these two!"
Shadow's fans are furious!
“It’s just a normal job hopping.”
There are fans of Tianmen and Ye Shenchen who defended themselves.
Shadow's fans were even angrier:
"Of course there is no problem with switching jobs, but you guys did this when the alliance just started, and the nature of the situation has changed. The alliance has no grudges against these two people, so why are you so malicious!"
Fans of Tianmen and Ye Shenchen were not convinced:
"Don't always criticize others from a moral high ground. Tianmen and Ye Shenchen are free to go wherever they want. The alliance's statement didn't mention any legal issues, which means the two teachers paid the penalty. They've paid what they should. What else can they do?"
Lose money
Shadow's fans responded:
"This isn't a question of liquidated damages, this is clearly a question of character. These two people are evil-minded and want to sever the roots of the alliance!"
"Don't take it too seriously!"
Fans from both sides started to criticize each other directly!
Passersby and netizens sighed:
"The Alliance is completely screwed now. They didn't stand a chance against the Horde to begin with, and now two key figures have escaped."
The confrontation between the Alliance and the Horde involves a lot.
Netizens were watching almost from beginning to end.
Now that this has suddenly happened, who doesn’t understand what is going on
It must be the tribe poaching people!
This is a plan to wipe out the entire family, so cruel!
You must know!
There are too few good cartoonists in the alliance!
At most, there are only three of them, Shadow, Tianmen and Ye Shenchen!
Now two powerful teammates have defected to the enemy, leaving Shadow to fight alone!
Is it possible that the entire alliance will rely on the comic book "Detective Chu Yu" to survive in the future
And the entire network was shocked.
The newly established official microblog of the alliance also released a dynamic:
Ye Shenchen and Tianmen betrayed their loyalty and switched sides, unilaterally tearing up the contract between the two and the alliance, which seriously damaged the interests of the website. From today on, this website officially announces that it will never cooperate with these two again. Please be notified!
Now there is no more doubt!
Tianmen and Ye Shenchen really stabbed the alliance twice in the back!
…
What the hell is this!
Shadow’s fans are devastated!
Now it’s not a question of whether or not to cooperate with these two people in the future!
Now the question is whether this new website can continue to operate!
Works that rely solely on shadows are simply not good enough!
Will he have to fight alone from now on
No matter how popular the Death God Elementary School Student is, you can't let him fight against the entire tribe alone!
Unfortunately, in this matter, the two big guys, Xianyu and Chu Kuang, could not help at all!
I have the will but not the ability.
The means of the comics industry.
Cartoonists competition.
Xianyu Chu Kuang can't get involved!
The opponent is definitely coming for Shadow!
Even if the alliance does not go bankrupt because of this, it can only survive on the strength of Shadow's comic.
The tribe’s capital is too strong!
This is another ruthless crushing of a new website by big capital!
Just like the tribe banned Shadow before.
Too powerless!
In the face of such powerful and vicious capital, Shadow and the newly formed alliance are really powerless!
Even the name "Alliance" has become ironic.
alliance
All those who were in alliance with you have defected to the enemy!
Have you ever seen an alliance with only one person
This moment!
Shadow's fans are completely desperate!
Passersby who supported the alliance also sighed helplessly.
A new comic website that originally had great potential has suddenly become unpopular.
The story ended before it even began.
And just at this moment.
Yingzi's personal blog was updated again:
"Give me a week, and the Alliance will have two better new works to replace Tianmen and Ye Shenchen!"
Boom!
This moment!
Everyone who saw this update was stunned!
Shadow was mad
He actually said that two works would replace Tianmen and Ye Shenchen in a week
Where does the confidence come from
Or in other words, where does the work come from
Or two
Could he possibly dig out two cartoonists from the tribe who are as strong as Tianmen and Ye Shenchen, or even better
How is this possible
Will the tribe give this a chance
The tribe could use the same method, so how could they not be prepared
Besides, there is no reason for a cartoonist from the Horde to go to the Alliance!
Given the current situation of the alliance, who would dare to go
But if we don’t poach people from the tribe, we won’t be able to find cartoonists better than Tianmen and Ye Shenchen on other comic websites!
Don't say it's more powerful...
Even if you want to find two cartoonists with the same level as these two, it’s impossible!
Tribal comics have already monopolized the entire industry!
It can't be that Shadow draws two comics himself to fill these two prehistoric pits, right
etc…
Could it be that Shadow really intends to draw it himself
He plans to draw two comics that are better than Tianmen and Ye Shenchen’s new works in a week
Three openings
impossible!
This is everyone’s first reaction!
Draw a movie that everyone believes in, "Detective Chu Yu" can explain everything!
No matter how powerful Tianmen and Ye Shenchen are, it is almost impossible for their new comics to surpass this classic!
But the thing is…
Shadow already has "Detective Chu Yu"!
Where does he get the energy and strength to produce two more works of the same level as "Detective Chu Yu"
impossible!
Not just the first reaction, no matter how everyone studies this development, they can only think of this result. If the shadow is released, it will be an impossible task!
Maybe it was because he was too stimulated
Shadow is really crazy this time!!!
