The Chinese translation of "Dragon Ball" was "Dragon Ball"(also known as Dragon Ball), a super popular Japanese anime. It was the proud work of the famous Japanese manga artist, Akira Toriyama. The international sales volume was 350 million copies, ranking third. The domestic sales volume in Japan was 150 million copies, ranking second.
Just a few short sentences were enough to make Da Xiong excited. He was going to plagiarize this anime. By then, he would have both wealth and fame. Moreover, this was also the bridge that Da Xiong was prepared to use to enter Zhongguo. Because the background and main characters were all based on Zhongguo, Da Xiong could go to Zhongguo as a Japanese person in the future. He would not be glared at and would even be cheered by the fans, Da Xiong thought happily.
However, it was not as easy to draw the seven Dragon Balls as described in the novel. The painting style was a big problem. Fortunately, Nobita had learned to draw Dora, Dragon Balls, and a few manga when he was in primary school and middle school. Therefore, Nobita's painting style was also affected by this, and he was barely able to draw the seven Dragon Balls.
As for the character storyline, Da Xiong still remembered 80% of it, which was already very good. As for the others that he had forgotten, he could use his own ideas to add them in.
Da Xiong recalled the plot of the Dragon Ball for a while and wanted to start drawing the manga. However, at this time, he sadly remembered that he did not have all the tools for the manga.
Da Xiong was busy searching through the cabinets and bookshelves. He found pens and pens for drawing comics, original manuscript paper for comics, a press knife, paper tape, a photocopying table, a special table, a ruler with all kinds of lines, a pencil, an eraser, white paint for editing, and various types of brushes.
Apart from these three items, Da Xiong had everything else: ink (waterproof, non-waterproof, and colored), a small hairdryer (to dry the ink), and a photocopying table. The last two items were not particularly important, but ink was necessary. It was especially important for the Dragon Ball because the background of the Dragon Ball needed colored ink, so Da Xiong had to buy ink.
However, Nobita sadly remembered that Nobita was a poor man. He only had a few hundred yen in his piggy bank. According to Nobita's memory, colored ink was much more expensive than other inks. Moreover, it was impossible to complete a dragon ball painting with just a bottle of ink.
Without a choice, Da Xiong could only go to Tamako, who was in charge of the family's finances, to ask for some money. He rushed to Tamako's side.
Da Xiong said to Tamako shyly,""Mom, can you give me some money?!”Jade was tidying up his clothes. When he heard Da Xiong's words, his hands did not stop moving. He did not even ask Da Xiong what he wanted money for and directly said,"No."
When Da Xiong heard Tamako's straightforward words, his originally bashful expression immediately withered. His face turned bitter as he said,"Mom, why didn't you even ask me why I wanted the money?”Tamako folded her clothes and put on her round glasses. She looked at Da Xiong and said casually,"Then why?"
Da Xiong chuckled and said,"Because I want to draw comics, but I need colored ink. I don't have enough money, so…" Before he could finish speaking, Tamago interrupted him and said to Da Xiong,""So you need some money to buy ink, right?! Not bad." Looking at his mother's seemingly adorable smile, Da Xiong was as happy as a child and shouted,""Mom is so good. You're the best mom in the world.”
"As long as Da Xiong helps me with the housework today, I will give you a reward.”However, Da Xiong had only been happy for a few seconds when Tamago was like a vixen, smiling evilly. Da Xiong fell to the ground with a bitter face. He said bitterly,"Okay, thank you, mom…" As expected, Tamago was still like the anime Tamago, treating Da Xiong in the same way…
Da Xiong stood up gloomily. Indeed, it was not that easy in this world. If one wanted to make money from manga, plagiarism was not an easy thing to do. Da Xiong finally understood this logic. No matter what one did, if one wanted to succeed, they had to pay a price. Those novels in his previous life were indeed mostly lies…
Sighing and taking a deep breath, Da Xiong cheered! Following that, he did the chores that Daxiong often did in the anime. He took out a bucket and filled it with water. Then, he took out a rag and dipped it in water. Then, he twisted it properly. He stood at the corner of the corridor and placed the rag on the ground. He shouted and pushed the rag forward…
He used a rag to clean the wooden floor in the corridor, and Nobita's day's work began…
In the evening, when the sunset faded away, the world turned silver-gray. The milky smoke and the gray mist blended together, as if they were covering the walls, ridges, treetops, and streets with a thin layer of cellophane, making them looming and floating in the air. It was a bit magical. The little gnats started to become active and flew in groups. The birds in the streets chirped with their crisp voices. However, they were startled by something and flew far away…
The setting sun shone on Da Xiong's face in the small courtyard. After Da Xiong hung the last piece of clothing, he looked at the setting sun and sighed."It's not that easy to be a housewife.”A day of work was already tiring to the point that Da Xiong was gasping for breath. As for Tamako, who had to repeat the same work every day, there was no need to mention it. Da Xiong also felt a little guilty. Helping his mother to work required money. He was really too insensible. He had even worked for a few years in his previous life.
As the sun set, the sky turned dark. Da Xiong returned to the house and saw Tamako. Tamako asked Da Xiong," Have you finished the housework?"! Not bad, Da Xiong, you're much more diligent than before. In the past, you always gave up halfway.”Da Xiong nodded and said to Tamago,"Mom, I'll go back to my room first.”With that, he walked upstairs.
"Wait, Da Xiong, you haven't taken the money for the housework.”Jade stopped him from behind Da Xiong. He Xiong turned around and said,"Mom, there's no need. It's my fault for helping you with some housework and asking for money. You work so hard every day, and I…"
Tamako took out some money from her small wallet and gave it to Da Xiong. She said,"Da Xiong, I want you to help me with the housework. Do you think I want to slack off?! I just want you to understand how money should be obtained!”With that, he turned around and entered the room.
Da Xiong thought that he had finally completely integrated into this world and become a member of this place!
