Chapter 98 : To Start a Manga SeriesWearing his hat, he would switch locations after each hour to obtain his experience.
Thinking about the manga, he would occasionally take out his phone to record something, so that he could record it at the peak of his memory.On the 6th, there were still numerous tourists at the scenic sites at Xizi lake, but he didn’t go out of his way to complete the adoration fever task.
To him, the rewards for [Real • Adoration Fever] were not good, and there were too many requirements as well.
If he couldn’t attain it along the way, he wouldn’t force himself.He had only completed one step of the task to attain the hat, which had been enough.
The validation that came afterward, Meng Fan felt no desire for it.At eleven o’clock, people began to leave the scenic spot.
Meng Fan did not go back and continued to wander around the scenic spot.
He stopped thinking about his manga adaptation and began appreciating the scenes.When the crowds receded, there was no litter on the ground.
Xizi lake was quieter and more beautiful.Have you seen Xizi lake at two in the morning? Meng Fan has.He had also seen the mosquitos at Xizi lake.
After gaining +1 observation skills, Xizi lake through his night-vision goggles was clear as day.Well, this late at night, he did not want to think about the manga.
He could only use the night-vision goggles for the purpose of seeing the world at night to pass the time.The mosquitos and ants have never met Meng Fan before, for he didn’t exist!After turning to a scenic spot, and gaining +7 more points of experience, he left the destination and headed to the road and removed his hat.
At this moment, several taxis stopped next to him.“It’s already past two o’clock, why are you still wandering around here? If I hadn’t just dropped off a group of drunk tourists from the bar and pass by, you’d have to walk home.”The uncle was full of doubts and wondered why this chubby boy was wandering around so late at night.
He was even more curious as to why he suddenly felt the urge to drive over here.“Uhm, I got lost.”Meng Fan casually responded and was confused.
Could it be his increased validation which forced the driver to turn around towards him?These f*cking metaphysics were simply unreasonable!After returning to his home near the academy, it was almost three o’clock when he’d showered and prepared for bed.
He still had no trouble waking up at five the next day.Putting on his sports clothes to the track field, Wu Tong joined him as he began to warm up.
After warming up together, they started to run.Wu Tong hadn’t run in a few days, so she kept her pace at around 6 minutes.
It was natural that Meng Fan kept up with her for the first few laps, but unnatural for him to match her side by side for ten whole kilometers.
This surprised Wu Tong.Without speeding up, she maintained a pace of 6 minutes for five more kilometers, and Meng Fan was still keeping up!Thinking about it, it made sense.
Meng Fan had ran the mini-marathon in 60 minutes.Accelerate!Wu Tong increased her speed to 5 minutes and 30 seconds at once, running a kilometer.
Meng Fan kept up.Turning to look, Wu Tong found that Meng Fan was not even struggling.Thinking of when he first started running, Wu Tong felt emotional.
He had really improved a lot!Beginning at the 7th kilometer, Wu Tong raised her pace to 5 minutes.
This time, Meng Fan slowly fell behind her.Thinking about it, she slowed her pacing to 6 minutes once again and accelerated to 5:30 once Meng Fan caught up.
At a pace of 5 minutes and 20 seconds, they completed the ten kilometers together.Total time elapsed was 56 minutes and 29 seconds!This was basically Wu Tong’s aerobic running pace.
With this pace, it would be detrimental to a person’s knees unless they reduced the amount of kilometers ran each day.She used to run eight kilometers for three days and ten for one.Stopping to walk a lap, they then began to stretch.
Wu Tong couldn’t help but utter with emotion, “You’ve made so much progress!”Meng Fan huffed as he chuckled.
“No matter what, I did run from Hangzhou to Shanghai, and of course, there was some progress made.”This wasn’t the first time Meng Fan had finished in 60 minutes without the sports drink and energy chews.
However, with Wu Tong as a lead, his results were much better than before.Seeing Meng Fan’s smile, Wu Tong also laughed.
“Regardless, your progress is incredible.
It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already improved so much.
I think in a month, you’ll be able to catch up to me.”Meng Fan paused.
“This fast? I would be grateful if it took me the next two years of college to catch you!”Wu Tong didn’t realize the ambiguity in her words, for Meng Fan’s response was equally suggestive!After 9:00 in the morning, students began returning to the academy.
Meng Fan spent the morning in the studio, and when noon came, the campus had began to recover its liveliness from the holidays.“Fatty!”As he was heading for the cafeteria, Meng Fan heard someone calling his name.
Of course, it had to be the couples of Chen Da Qiang and Zhang Zhou Wei, carrying several bags, with fatigued but joyous expressions on their face.“F*ck! When did you lose so much weight?!”As they approached, Zhang Zhou Wei suddenly screamed, scaring meng Fan into a cackling laughter.He remained modest.
“Really? Am I that thin? I don’t feel different.”Chen Dan Qiang and his girlfriend also smiled as they nodded.
“You really have slimmed down a lot, before we saw you everyday so we couldn’t tell, but it’s been a few days.
It seems your running has paid off!”“Really?”Meng Fan snickered as he confirmed with them repeatedly.
He waved his hand.
“Then hurry and put your things down, I will treat you guys to lunch.
I’ll head to the water shore restaurant and order first to wait for you guys.
I’m happy today, so I have to eat two bowls.”“Can’t you stand some praise?!”……At 2:00 in the afternoon, Meng Fan revived his stream.The contents of the stream had been from the manga, but they had been adapted to be drawn as illustrations.At this hour, there was nobody else in the studio aside from Meng Fan.
Even the administrator was not present.
He did not have to worry about disrupting people with his voice and chatted with his netizens as he drew.Meng Fan conversed with them about the interesting events he ran onto his way to Shanghai, while all the fickle netizens were asking about the concert.
Regardless, one talked about himself while the rest asked about him, and it was quite a harmonious scene.Running from Hangzhou to Shanghai, the event at Shan Jin brother’s concert, and the resurfacing of his ‘thumbs’ up dance video.
Meng Fan did not realize it himself, but he had become an ‘internet sensation’.The number of online viewers that day easily broke 100,000, and when he logged out at five o’clock, the day’s viewer count had reached 370,000.
It seems his all-time total views were at 4 million, which was still far away from completing the 10 million required for task phase 4.Xing Ta Ge returned at night, quite late as well.
He had hit the bed snoozing the moment he returned and evidently came back from an eventful evening.All the members had returned to the dorm and everything was on the right track.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Meng Fan and Xing Ta Ge had finalized the details of the first ten chapters of their manga, covering all the issues regarding scriptwriting and the story.
Meng Fan began to modify the illustrations he had prepared and came out with art for four chapters in one go.They had changed the name of the manga as well.
Xing Ta Ge’s original title had been ‘Guide to Campus RoMANce’.
Ro-Man-ce was okay, but it was too easy to be reminiscent of Mr.
Kato.But the change was not big, changing the ‘man’ character to regular romance; ‘Guide to Campus Romance’.The scripts for the first ten panels were basically solidified, and they had the artwork for four of them.
Meng Fan naturally wanted to upload it online for serialization, for this was required for the [Manga Artist] task.Xing Ta Ge did not care for this, so he followed Meng Fan’s decision.Penguin Animation network was the serialization website Meng Fan decided on.He registered his screen name as “Meng Fatty opened a server” successfully.
But when it came to the title of the manga, the name was already in use.They then changed the name to ‘Campus Love Directory’, but it was also taken.He then changed it back to ‘Guide to Campus RoMANce’.
Heh.
Success!“They won’t censor us for this right?”“Who cares, worse comes to worst the editor would tell us first right? As long as our content is not too explicit, it should be okay.”Seeing the name return to his original intention, Xing Ta Ge was particularly happy, smugly looking at Meng Fan to deal with it.“Alright.”After successfully creating the work, they uploaded the first chapter to wait for a review.After two or so hours, their examination was successful.
