Chapter 92: Nanjiatan

On the first day of the first lunar month, everyone gets up very early.

Since Ji Yinxuan seldom lives in this villa, she doesn't know the people nearby very well, so she doesn't visit her neighbors for New Year greetings.

Shen Xin called Yan Fei, said New Year greetings, and was considering whether to contact Yang Bo, but Yang Bo called Ji Yinxuan first.

Yang Bo told Ji Yinxuan after celebrating the Chinese New Year that he had to call Shen Xin, but Ji Yinxuan stopped him.

"No need, he's sitting opposite me." Ji Yinxuan said naturally.

"Huh? He's sitting across from you? Wait...what's going on?"

Shen Xin could almost imagine Yang Bo's expression, his open mouth should be able to hold two eggs.

"Wait a minute, let him tell you the reason." Ji Yinxuan directly handed the phone to Shen Xin.

Before Shen Xin could speak, Yang Bo immediately asked, "Hey...what's the matter with you? When did you go to Hongchuan? And...you're still with senior sister."

"Isn't it something you painters did? If you can make the sense of space in the background less abstract, I won't have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year." Shen Xin said angrily.

"Ah? You came here for this matter?" Yang Bo laughed awkwardly.

"I have more things to do in the next year, how can I have time to deal with them?" Shen Xin said.

Yang Bo felt a little guilty and apologized repeatedly.

"I don't blame you. Some things are a matter of attitude, and some things are a matter of ability, as long as you do your best. I can't ask too much of you." Shen Xin showed great generosity.

"..."

Yang Bo didn't want to talk to Shen Xin for a moment.

At noon, everyone also started their own plans.

"I heard that Nanjiatan has an ACG atmosphere, and there is also a movie theater. I plan to go there and see it first."

For Chinese 2D lovers, Nanjiatan District has a very high status. There are all kinds of animation peripheral stores, model shops, theme cafes, video game stores, and the largest comic book stores in China.

If you look carefully, you can even find the original manga magazines of District 11, such as "Shounen Leap", as well as the original game consoles here.

In addition, there are some manga tools that are not common in other places, such as a feather brush for sweeping away eraser crumbs, a fixer for saving sketches, or an X-shaped mold for drawing effect lines, and you can basically find them one by one. .

The status of Nanjiatan in China is similar to Akihabara in the 11th area of ​​the earth, and it can be regarded as the area with the most concentrated ACG elements in China.

"How about, let's go shopping together and buy some things by the way." Ji Yinxuan said.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, but many shops will still be open, but the business hours may be adjusted.

Xi Muhan also showed interest, but Charlotte didn't make a sound, but her expression told everyone that this proposal was very good.

In the end, Ji Yinxuan made a decision, Shen Xin went to watch a movie, and the three of them went shopping.

So, after a short rest, everyone took a car and headed to the city.

Hongchuan's economy ranks among the best in China, and it cannot be compared with second-tier cities like Yunhai.

After entering the urban area, there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, which makes people overwhelmed, but most of the high-rise buildings are closed. The usually crowded streets are extremely empty today.

Charlotte parked the car in the parking lot, and the four got out of the car one after another.

Shen Xin and Xi Muhan came to Nanjiatan for the first time, and it was also the first time they came to a place with such dense ACG elements.

Although some stores are closed, some large stores are still open, such as model toy stores, video game stores, and animation product stores, but their doors are open.

After Charlotte's introduction, Shen Xin also knew several stores that sold game consoles and original magazines in District 11.

Shen Xin doesn't understand Japanese, so she is not very interested in these things. After taking a second look, she came to a shop that sells comic tools.

Xi Muhan looked around, and she had seen some of the painting tools, such as dip pen, dot paper, cloud ruler, and duckbill pen, but she hadn’t seen much of them, such as feather brush and hanging net knife.

Ji Yinxuan half-understood, looking at the surrounding products like a horse on a horse.

Charlotte is not very interested in these, all her attention is on Ji Yinxuan's safety.

Shen Xin took a rough look around, and finally stopped in front of an instrument the size of a liquid crystal display.

"Digital screen?"

Most cartoonists in this world mostly use pen and paper, and a few people in Yunhai will choose to use a digital tablet, let alone a digital screen.

Compared with pen and paper, electronic devices have their own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the digital board is easy to operate, and it is easier to modify the original manuscript and dot paper on the Internet, but it also has disadvantages. After all, it is simulating the effect of paper and pen, so the pen pressure of the pressure-sensitive strokes on the digital board is not as good as that of the real one. paper and pen.

Also, the world developed on the digital board a few years later than Earth, and has not yet been universally accepted by cartoonists. At the same time, the effect of digital board simulation cannot satisfy top cartoonists.

Shen Xin picked up the pressure-sensitive pen placed on the counter, drew a few times on the digital screen, and soon a sketch of a character appeared.

The salesperson opened his mouth slightly, and before he could speak, Shen Xin erased the sketch again, and the salesperson sighed secretly.

"Want to buy it?" Ji Yinxuan asked.

Shen Xin shook her head, "Not yet, let's talk about it in a few years."

Xi Muhan glanced at the price of the digital screen, 60,000. Thinking that Shen Xin was concerned about the price, she whispered: "The family does not lack this little money, why don't you just buy it?"

Ji Yinxuan also nodded and said, "Why don't I see you off."

"Don't." Shen Xin quickly waved his hand, "It's not a question of money. Using a digital screen not only depends on the quality of itself, but also the supporting software. It may be better in a few years."

In the store, Shen Xin couldn't say clearly that this pen display didn't meet his requirements, so he could only say it vaguely.

After hearing this, Xi Muhan and Ji Yinxuan understood Shen Xin's thoughts, so they didn't speak any more.

After coming out of the store, the three girls discussed a bit, decided to buy some clothes, and insisted not to let Shen Xin follow. Shen Xin gave the bank card to Xi Muhan, took 200 yuan in cash, and started to wander around Nanjiatan.

Speaking of wandering, in fact Shen Xin also has a destination, which is the comic book store. He wants to know which comics are the most popular in Hongchuan, and how big is the gap between "Y's" and "Punishment" in this place.

He bought a hamburger at a fast food restaurant, and by the way, he also found out that the largest comic book store in Nanjiatan is "Jiman", which is the bookstore fifty meters to the right across the street.

According to the tips of the clerk, Shen Xin found "Jiman".

Although it is the first day of the new year, there are still many customers coming in and out, and posters of various comics are placed at both ends of the bookstore. Most of them are the signature cartoons of the three major magazines.

Last year's most popular "The Legend of the Dragon King" was placed in the most conspicuous place, next to the best-selling "Punishment".

Near the entrance of the bookstore, there is also a poster with the words "pre-sale".

When Shen Xin saw the content of the poster, she immediately became interested.

""Hunting Abyss", at 10 am on February 16th, teacher Ye Hexu signed the book, so stay tuned."

""Hunting Abyss"... there are 6 days left, and it will be released."

Shen Xin rubbed her chin and muttered to herself.
