Everyone knows that Gian, whether it's for comics or toys, rarely spends his own money.
He frequently "acquires" things from his good friends, Suneo and Nobita, ensuring he lacks for nothing.
Suneo and Nobita usually dared not to voice their displeasure at the bullying behavior of Gian, the self-proclaimed leader.
However, upon seeing the comic Nobita was reading, Gian and Suneo's interest was immediately piqued.
Even though it appeared to be a rough draft, the storyline and the detailed drawing style were captivating.
"Nobita, you selfish guy! You have such a great comic and you didn't even tell us beforehand. That's not very nice of you," Gian said, putting his arm around Nobita's shoulder and smiling.
"No, no... This comic was drawn by Lin Feng, I only just saw it myself..."
Nobita understood the saying that a small arm can't twist a big thigh.
The most crucial thing was that Gian's fists were truly big and hard. Nobita's fragile frame couldn't withstand many punches at all. So, after Gian came over, put his arm around Nobita's shoulders, and said some overbearing words,
Nobita didn't dare to argue. Instead, he explained with some helplessness,
"Oh? Is it the new student, Lin Feng, who drew these comics himself?"
Upon hearing Nobita's explanation, Gian and Suneo looked at each other with wide eyes, both showing surprise.
"That's right, I can vouch for it. These were all drawn by Lin Feng himself. Just now, I saw him draw another piece."
Shizuka spoke to explain to Gian and Suneo, who were still a little doubtful, instead of Nobita.
Their relationships were very familiar at this point, so it was normal for Gian and Suneo to come over and joke around with Nobita.
However, Gian and the others believed Shizuka's words completely. Shizuka was usually very straightforward and rarely joked around with them.
So, if that was the case, this stack of manga was really created by the new transfer student in front of them?
Gian and Suneo exchanged glances again. This time, the smiles and mockery in their eyes had vanished, replaced by astonishment and shock.
Although they enjoyed reading manga to pass the time in their free moments, they also knew how huge a project it was to draw manga from start to finish. Moreover, drawing manga wasn't just about having drawing skills.
Aspects like plot arrangement and paneling were all things a manga artist needed to consider.
And this transfer student named Lin Feng was only about the same age as them, a fifth-grader.
Yet, he could draw manga all by himself, and it looked pretty good, too.
This news was truly quite shocking for Gian and Suneo.
Of course, although they were shocked, their interest in the comic in front of them didn't diminish at all. Gian directly pressed his whole body onto Nobita, using him as a cushion on the table.
Then, together with Suneo, they enthusiastically started reading from the cover, beginning with the first chapter of the first episode.
Although Nobita, who was underneath, had tried to resist, he couldn't compete with Gian's weight.
It wasn't until Gian and Suneo had excitedly finished reading the first few chapters of the first episode that Lin Feng had drawn that Gian let Nobita go.
However, Gian was just joking around; he wouldn't really hold Nobita down on the desk.
He still held back a little, making Nobita uncomfortable for a while, but not letting anything truly bad happen to him.
"Lin Feng, these works you drew are really amazing!"
"My name is Takeshi Goda, you can also call me Gian."
"You transferred all the way here from China, so you probably don't know anyone around here. Since we're in the same class, we're all classmates now, and that means we're good friends."
"This guy's name is Suneo, and he's a pretty good guy too."
"If you ever have any difficulties or run into any problems you can't solve, just come to me, Gian! Don't be shy!"
After reading Lin Feng's work, Gian was very impressed with the storyline, to the point where he really wanted to know what happened next.
Since Lin Feng, the new classmate, had just arrived, neither Gian nor Suneo had really greeted him yet. Taking this opportunity, Gian introduced himself and Suneo to Lin Feng.
In a sense, this could be seen as a gesture of goodwill from Gian, a way of trying to make friends with Lin Feng.
Watching Gian thump his chest with a loud, THUMP, Lin Feng smiled slightly and nodded at him.
"Gian and Suneo, right? Then, please take care of me in the future."
Lin Feng didn't mind getting closer to them; after all, they would be interacting for a long time.
And even though Gian usually seemed like a boisterous guy…
…when it came to the crunch, Gian could be a very reliable man.
Especially in the theatrical movie plots, Gian was completely different from his usual self, a truly epic upgrade.
"Great! Since we're all good friends, Lin Feng, after you finish drawing the rest of the story, could you…?"
As if they had been waiting for Lin Feng's words, Gian and Suneo, in perfect unison, excitedly rubbed their hands together and spoke.
"No problem, when I finish the rest of the story, I can find a chance to let you guys see it."
Lin Feng naturally saw through Gian and Suneo's little schemes, so he didn't expose them. Instead, he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Actually, the fact that they enjoyed Lin Feng's work so much was a form of affirmation and support for him. For these potential fans who could increase his popularity and reputation, Lin Feng had no reason to refuse them.
At this moment, because of the influence of Gian and Suneo, Lin Feng's system panel showed his reputation value had increased from yesterday's 159 to 328.
It could be said that the two of them had pretty high expectations for Lin Feng's work.
