Chapter 151 "Parasite Beast" will be third from the bottom?
"Parasite" had 2,215 votes. When this data appeared on the screen, more than a dozen editors of this magazine almost hissed in surprise in unison.
But everyone knows that this is not a sign of surprise, but a statement that the minister's prediction is accurate.
Everyone looked at the pseudo-head of the magazine department, Hyakki Hayato.
The reason why he is classified as a pseudo-minister is naturally because he has been suspended from his post and is no longer in his nominal position.
But the real power is still under his control, at least in the short term.
"Hahahahahahahaha——" Hyakki Hayato let out a proud laugh.
No one dared to interrupt, and the laughter echoed in the underground office of the magazine for a long time.
How long has it been since I heard the minister’s proud laughter?
Some senior editors know that the last time I laughed so much was because I cheated on the release date of a young cartoonist's single book.
Newcomers who offend the minister will be punished. This has been the rule of this magazine for many years. The minister didn't even need to say anything, the editor did it for him.
As for the old people who have offended the minister...the newcomers who have offended the minister have no chance of becoming an old man.
The old editor began to formally analyze the popularity list: "Ahem, the above data is as you can see. The last and second most popular are "The Legend of Hime Shikumaru" and "Girl Killer". Of these two works, the latter one please The editor gave a warning. The former has been ranked in the bottom two twice. If there is no objection, the editor in charge should inform the author to finish it within two issues. "
A young editor nodded heavily.
The comics he followed were cut in half, which was not only a blow to the author, but also very painful to the editor.
The old editor raised his glasses and continued: "Then next is the third to last "Parasite", editor please... uh..."
He suddenly realized that this work was sent directly from the web department for typesetting and printing, without even an editor.
Hyakki Hayato suddenly spoke up, his words filled with pride: "Tell the web department! "Parasite Beast" has been warned with a cut in half!"
"Hi Yi!" The old editor bowed.
At this time, Hyakki Hayato received a call.
"Hello? Kosuke Watsuki, hahaha, the popularity ranking is out. Your vote count is more than double that of Oda Shingo! He only has more than 2,000 votes, while you have more than 5,000 votes!"
Hyakki Hayato talked loudly on the phone and did not shy away from anyone in the magazine department.
Everyone listened quietly, and the meeting was suspended.
His authority is constantly demonstrated, and even if he is not in his official position, he does not tolerate any provocation.
From the microphone, Kosuke Watsuki's laughter could be faintly heard: [I would say that he just has the advantage of public opinion, but in terms of real ability, that guy can't do it! ]
"Yes, yes! How can that guy compare with the genius of you?" Hyakki Hayato laughed happily again, and Wazuki Kosuke, who was on the phone, also cooperated with each other in business.
Hyakki Hayato hung up the phone with satisfaction, and then reminded an intern editor of this magazine: "Go and make a signboard of this list and post it in the elevator!"
An editor immediately flattered him: "Your decision is so great!"
Hyakki Hayato laughed again.
"Wait, wait a minute, that, that..." The editor who just uploaded the data suddenly spoke.
Although his voice was timid, his expression seemed to mean something needed to be said.
The old editor asked: "What's wrong?"
"Well, the voting data from the web department has been synchronized..."
The web voting data is the voting of online readers who have subscribed to the electronic version of the "Jump" publication. Since there is also a regular fee, and it is not a subscription to a separate comic, but an electronic version of this magazine, the voting rights should be consistent with the physical voting card.
However, the popularity votes of web subscriptions have never been very high, and are almost consistent with the physical voting tendency, so they have little impact on the popularity votes. In addition, it is not the data processed by this journal, so it has not been taken seriously.
The old editor said: "It's only a few hundred votes. Why did it shake the position of the last two?"
"That...isn't a few hundred votes."
"Huh?" "The last issue had less than 500 votes, but this time there were more than 4,000 votes! I didn't know what was going on. I thought there was something wrong, so I called back to the web department to recheck, so I didn't vote with the entity just now. Put it together."
What's going on? Why did the popularity votes of web sites increase tenfold? !
The old editor quickly asked: "Why are you saying it again now?"
The young editor plucked up the courage and said: "The web department responded to confirm that the data was correct, and also sent backend verification points. I checked with the technical staff, and there was indeed no problem, so I hurriedly said it."
The old editor was sweating a little, and he vaguely realized something.
"You, don't tell me, more than 4,000 votes are..."
The scene fell silent.
All the editors, including Hyakki Hayato, had their eyes widened.
The old editor swallowed for a moment before continuing to ask: "Aren't they all from "Parasite"?"
The young editor felt a little braver this time and shook his head: "Of course not all of them. There are 4,798 votes in total, 4,476 of which are for "Parasite"."
hiss--
Many editors at the scene made similar hissing sounds as before.
"Parasite" received only 2,215 physical votes, but when online votes are added, it will reach as high as 6,691 votes!
This will be ranked 2nd, only after "notouch"!
But "Notuch" is the work of An Dafeng, the comic master of Qunying Club for more than ten years! He has always been at the top of the popularity vote, but this time someone actually touched his butt?
All the editors’ eyes were focused on Hyakki Hayato.
"..." Hyakki Hayato stood up and came to the young editor's computer. After carefully confirming the accuracy of the data, he chuckled: "Don't panic, this guy took advantage of you."
He began to tell everyone why.
"Double benefits for the first serialization, allowing Oda Shingo to take advantage of publishing 4 consecutive episodes."
"This sense of continuity in reading is very comfortable, which makes many comic fans like to vote for him."
"Also, due to the aftermath of last time's public opinion, many people voted for him because they believed they were righteous."
"By the way, more importantly, Oda Shingo started his career on the Internet, so many comic fans come from the Internet, so they naturally like to vote online."
"So, it's completely normal for him to take advantage of his popularity vote this time! Don't make a fuss!"
Hyakki Hayato looked calm.
The editors nodded. It sounds reasonable!
The intern editor who was ordered before asked at this moment: "So, is the Lipai printing the full version of the data?"
"..." Many editors cast sympathetic glances at him.
This guy can't survive his internship.
"Baga!" Hyakki Hayato casually grabbed a wireless mouse on the table and threw it over.
He returned to his office angrily.
Oda Shingo! You took advantage of me this time!
However, at this time, Oda Shingo was being taken advantage of.
Shingo Oda's studio.
Second floor bedroom.
The girl exerted force on her hands, and the boy looked like he was in pain but still a little comfortable.
"Is this rubbing okay? Is it too strong and hurting you?" Yukaku Namikaze's face turned slightly red and asked Oda Shingo, "This is my first time helping someone, so I'm not very good at helping others. Control the power.”
Namikaze Yukaku wiped sweat from shirtless Oda Shingo.
