Chapter 202: So Crazy He’s No Longer Human
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Chen Da Qiang left, Meng Fan continued to pace around in his room as he chatted with Wu Tong.
“You’re rus.h.i.+ng your drafts again?”
“Mhmm. I want to increase my update speed for the manga.”
“You’re working so hard!”
“I’m trying to become my best self.”
“Then I gotta work hard too.”
“Woman, you’re crazy. This is ridiculous!”
“You wanted me to say such tacky things didn’t you?”
“You’ve interrupted my thoughts.”
Wu Tong recalled the previous comment and cooperatively replied with another text, “How am I being ridiculous?”
Meng Fan also recalled his last message. “You’re too perfect it’s crazy, and you’re too pretty it’s ridiculous! If you’re still trying to work hard when you’re already like this, how can other people survive?!”
After he recalled this, the page looked much more refres.h.i.+ng.
Wu Tong responded with a smile. “I don’t care if other people live or not. It’s enough that you are living well.”
What was this?!
Meng Fan was so excited he was walking in circles. Then his brain twitched. “Recall the last word now!”
After sending it, he immediately felt regret. He hurriedly recalled the message, but Wu Tong didn’t respond.
“F*ck!”
Meng Fan tilted his head back and screamed at the ceiling, almost crying. What a wonderful messaging environment, all destroyed with a twitch of his brain.
He could learn anything, but why did he have to learn Zhang Zhou Wei’s brazen mouthed ways!
Buzz.
Just as Meng Fan was sulking, Wu Tong replied, “Hurry up and go work on your drafts. I’m gonna go read.”
“Alright!”
Meng Fan responded so fast it was as if he had been injected with steroids. He then returned to his room and turned on his stream.
“Today’s stream will only feature one category. Manga drawing.”
After adding the announcement, he settled down and began to draw “Guide To Campus RoMANce”. He basically ignored the live comments and did not talk, only humming along to his music at times.
Soon, the stream had over 300,000 viewers and more were still flowing in. Seeing that tonight’s content was solely manga, several of them left. No matter how fast Meng Fan’s drawing skills were, not everyone was interested in watching. Compared to this, they preferred more direct and interactive live stream content.
Of course, there were still many who were willing to watch drawing streams. Since this stream was originally established for drawing, the viewer count stabilized at around 200,000 after all people finished coming in and leaving.
As they watched, the netizens realized something was different.
Before when Meng Fan streamed his manga, he usually did ill.u.s.trations with some manga, but his manga usually appeared fragmented in ill.u.s.tration form. This time, it was a little different.
Continuously, he drew them. One after the other, the content was all coherent.
There were several fans of “Guide To Campus RoMANce” in the chatroom and were easily able to recognize the contents in Meng Fan’s drawings. These were the panels that came after the last updated chapter.
Meng Fan’s drawing speed was incredible, so this was no longer an element of surprise to the viewers. But as they watched, the netizens became more alarmed.
2 hours and 12 minutes!
An entire chapter was complete!
What kind of G.o.dly speed was this?!
He was fast at ill.u.s.trations which could be justified because he was skilled and had fast hand speed. But for a manga to be done so fast, he couldn’t just rely on pure skills and hand speed. His brain had to be quick too, okay?!
The fans of his work knew that this manga updated every week. It wasn’t because the author was lazy, but because manga was really hard to draw. It was not easy to just draw these dozen or so panels well. They had to tell a story too!
It was like meeting the word count for a novel. A person couldn’t just tap away on his or her keyboard and get as many words as he or she could, right? It had to be thought through. Otherwise, facerolling was faster than any method of typing.
After he finished, Meng Fan looked at the time. He was satisfied with his speed. The contents of this chapter were short and relatively simpler, but even so, his speed was incredible.
He stood up and exercised for a bit then picked up the live stream a.s.sistant to chat with the netizens as he walked. “I plan to finish “Guide To Campus RoMANce” as soon as possible. Following this, the update will be much faster than before and will probably update daily. We are currently in production for the 2nd volume of “Guide To Campus RoMANce” and will see how it sells after we publish it. If it’s good, it’ll sell, if not, I’ll keep giving them out.”
When he got to this, Meng Fan remembered something.
Before, he gifted out every copy of volume I of “Guide To Campus RoMANce”. If the second volume was to go through the sales process, the first one should also be printed out. As for the specifics, it would depend on what Qin Jiao’s side was open to.
“After completing “Guide To Campus RoMANce”, I will also speed up the update speed for “There’s A Spirit Underground”. Mr.Sleepy is considerably proactive and has the script done up to 50 chapters, so I have to catch up on his progress. After catching up, I’ll have to wait and see what Mr.Sleepy’s script is like before continuing to update.”
“Some of you have asked why we’re trying to finish “Guide To Campus RoMANce” so fast? It’s like this. Everyone who reads manga can probably tell this is a short story or a medium one at most. The scriptwriter has already finished the ma.n.u.scripts, so the update speed can be accelerated. Besides, I want to wait for “Guide To Campus RoMANce” to finish, catch up to Mr.Sleepy’s progress, and begin my own original manga series. I have a pretty good idea in my head. At least I think that I want to draw out and share it with you guys.”
Count it as a promotion. Meng Fan was happy to see all the live comments antic.i.p.ating his work and calling him bada.s.s as anyone who made a story naturally hoped for more people to hear and see their work. Although this story hadn’t begun yet.
After talking a bit more, Meng Fan logged off the stream. He rested for a while before continuing to draw, but instead of working on “Guide To Campus RoMANce”, he began to sketch out “There’s A Spirit Underground.”
After finis.h.i.+ng a chapter for “There’s A Spirit Underground”, it was already 1:00 am. At this time, Meng Fan felt a bit tired. He could see how physically exhausting such high-intensity drawing was. Even if he continued to take the energy chews, he wouldn’t be able to continue.
“I can’t do this!”
When Meng Fan became crazy, he was no longer human. He thought of an insane idea.
It was difficult to increase his physical fitness more, at least, not quickly. He changed his train of thought to enhance his ability to stay up late instead.
How to increase it? Finis.h.i.+ng the [Night Touring G.o.d] task of course.
Meng Fan had been brus.h.i.+ng this task for a long time and had visited 43 scenic spots so far. He was only 7 away from finis.h.i.+ng task phase 3, which required 50.
Go!
He was already sleepy, so how was he going to perform this task?
It was easy. Sleep at the site!
Before Meng Fan had sat still and still gained experience from the night touring task. If this was okay, sleeping should be fine.
What if he got no experience?
Then he would just go home.
He got right to it and put on his black magi sports suit and jacket before heading out. He hailed a cab and headed to the Xi Zi lake scenic area.
Xi Zi lake had several scenic sites since it was a tourist site in the surrounding areas as well. As long as Meng Fan operated himself properly, he could complete the task with no problem.
When he arrived at the Yong Jin tower along the south sh.o.r.e of Xi Zi lake, Meng Fan confirmed that he had never been here before and put on his hat to search for a place that was safe from the wind. He pulled out a pillow from his backpack and found a comfortable position before falling asleep.
With his hat on, n.o.body would notice a person in the scenic spot this late at night. Plus, he wouldn’t scare any pa.s.sersby who were outside for some reason at this hour.
As for the temperature, the November nights were still a bit cold. But both the tracksuit and the sweatband had the function to adjust the temperature, so they could adjust to a degree suitable for sleeping.
He set the alarm on his phone and connected it to his black magic earbuds. In an hour, when he saw his experience increasing, Meng Fan switched locations and continued his slumber.
