Chapter 108: New Work *Chainsaw Man*

Chapter 108: New Work *Chainsaw Man*

Lin Qingshan's words moved all the *Edge Runners* fans present.

*Clap, clap, clap—!*

Suddenly, someone in the crowd started clapping. At first, it was scattered applause, but soon all the fans joined in, and the clapping grew thunderous.

Lin Qingshan's response left them thoroughly convinced. Many fans had found the concept of Cyber Psychosis strange and unreasonable, initially viewing it as just an excuse for the fictional setting. But Lin Qingshan's explanation made them feel the concept was not only reasonable but also quite plausible.

Perhaps, if humanity ever reached a point of such extensive cybernetic modification, Cyber Psychosis could indeed become a reality.

That thought was frightening, and they hoped such a grim future would never come to pass.

"Thank you all, and thank you to the fans here for your applause," the host said as the clapping subsided. "And thanks to Teacher Qingshan for the explanation. Next, I'd like to continue asking Editor Ayumi."

He turned to Ito Ayumi and asked, "In your view, what is Teacher Qingshan like in everyday life?"

"I'm sure everyone is curious about what Teacher Qingshan is like in his daily life," he added.

The fans eagerly awaited Ito Ayumi's description of Lin Qingshan.

Ito Ayumi replied, "Teacher Qingshan is a brilliant genius. Whether it's drawing manga or other skills, he's exceptionally talented."

"Oh? Can you be more specific about his skills?" the host asked.

"Teacher Qingshan is great at cooking, proficient with computers and game development, and his singing is quite good too," Ito Ayumi answered.

"What is Teacher Qingshan's personality like?"

The host asked.

"Although he can be a bit unconventional at times, he is generally a very kind and considerate person," Ito Ayumi said.

The fans below almost laughed out loud, discussing among themselves:

"Editor Ayumi must mean that Teacher Qingshan isn't always normal."

"No doubt, Teacher Qingshan is definitely a bit of an eccentric."

"Intermittent episodes, huh? So Teacher Qingshan really is a Cyber Psycho."

"Surprising that he's also good with computers and game development. If he can draw manga too, he's truly remarkable."

"I guess when Editor Ayumi says he's good with computers and game development, she means he plays games a lot."

"LOL, that's quite possible."

…

After a few more questions, the interview segment was almost over.

At the end of the interview, the host said, "Alright, the interview is nearly over. Next, we'll move on to the signing event for *Edge Runners*."

"However, I hear that Teacher Qingshan has two more things to share with the fans before we start."

[Translator: sauron]

"Teacher Qingshan, please make your announcement."

The host looked at Lin Qingshan, who nodded and, under the gaze of all the fans, said:

"After the conclusion of *Edge Runners*, my latest work, *Chainsaw Man*, will soon be published, and it will also be serialized in *Comic World Gogo*. Please look forward to it!"

"And, of course, please continue to support the *Edge Runners* anime and the spin-off game *Cyberpunk 2077*."

"I also hope to give everyone a special gift in the near future. We'll have news about it in about six months, so please stay tuned~"

This announcement sparked a lot of excitement among the fans.

After *Edge Runners* ends, Lin Qingshan's new serialization, titled *Chainsaw Man*, was something to look forward to.

The subsequent promotion for the *Edge Runners* anime and *Cyberpunk 2077* also generated anticipation.

But what intrigued the fans the most was the special gift Lin Qingshan mentioned...

What could it be?

For now, they couldn't get any more details from Lin Qingshan. With the interview segment officially over, it was time for the main event—the signing session.

Lin Qingshan began signing books for the first fan of *Edge Runners*.

The first fan was obviously thrilled, clutching his copy of *Edge Runners* with excitement. After all, he had been in line since early in the morning.

"Hello, Teacher Qingshan, I'm a loyal fan of *Edge Runners*. I started following it from the very first serialization…"

He said excitedly.

Lin Qingshan responded with a "friendly and approachable" smile, took the book handed to him, and signed it.

However, as he smiled at the fan, the fan's expression suddenly stiffened.

The fans behind him noticed Lin Qingshan's peculiar smile and began commenting:

"Wow… what a healthy and cheerful smile…"

"That smile… it's like something out of a horror movie!"

"Great, once again confirming my impression of Teacher Qingshan as a bit of a psycho."

"Does Teacher Qingshan really have no mental issues? Maybe a thorough check-up is in order."

…

Despite these comments, Lin Qingshan paid them no mind. He felt that giving his supportive fans a "friendly and approachable" smile was both appropriate and necessary.

Under his odd smile, he continued signing books for the fans.

Though his smile was indeed peculiar, it didn't deter the fans' enthusiasm.

"*Edge Runners* is excellent, and Teacher Qingshan, your drawing skills are amazing. How did you learn to draw?"

"Wow, Teacher Qingshan, you're so ruthless with your characters. Can you be a bit gentler with the knife?"

"Teacher Qingshan, could you write… 'To my favorite Mr. Liu'? My boyfriend is a fan of yours but couldn't make it to this signing."

"Teacher Qingshan, could we take a photo together?"

…

The enthusiastic fans kept Lin Qingshan busy signing books all afternoon, making his wrist sore.

Fortunately, when he drew the [Luminous Flash (Platinum)] ability, he had also drawn the [Durable King (Gold)] ability, which significantly increased his physical endurance, making it manageable.

Lin Qingshan remained patient and continued signing until he finished with the last fan, finally bringing the signing event to a close.
