Chapter 283 (1/2)
Obtained a High Popularity Character Card
As long as a special move is silly and illogical, it would definitely become a trend on the internet, no matter what it was or what it does. Even more so when the name of the special move sounds dumb as well, like “Angry Crow Takes Flight.”
Xiao Chun’s retarded mini 4WD car would turn out to be the ultimate countermeasure against the “The Destruction Corps,” – the villains of the anime. These “The Destruction Corps” were the type who never once raced accordingly to see who had the fastest mini 4WD car. Instead, they specialized in destroying the mini 4WD cars of others during races, and took great pleasure in doing so. However, if you think about it, this is a strategic way of winning a race —- —- if all the opponents’ mini 4WD cars are destroyed, wouldn’t they be the only racers left and win by default?
“The Destruction Corps” usually had the most high-tech mini 4WD cars. It was normal for their cars to have offensive weapons like air knives and air bombs. Some of their cars were so high-tech that they had needles attached to their front bumpers. These needles would be controlled via infrared rays. With a simple command, some members of “The Destruction Corps”could even activate special moves and special suspensions would raise their cars up enough to smash the other mini 4WD cars in the race, permanently destroying them…
Xiao Chun’s retarded mini 4WD car was the “The Destruction Corps’” antithesis, for its specialized shell was sturdy enough to finish any race, no matter what. Moreover, as Xiao Chun had expressed that she still had some deadly moves up her sleeve, she could easily tie “The Destruction Corps” down and keep them in check, as the male protagonist Zhang Haolie goes on unhindered!
Zhang Haolie was persistent in ensuring that he would only stick to the principles of racing to see who had the fastest mini 4WD. He would never do something like what “The Destruction Corps” did, just to win a race. If he competed in such a disgraceful manner, wouldn’t he be considered a worthless vandal as well? Zhang Haolie was resolutely righteous and firm with his beliefs.
Xiao Chun, on the other hand, was not as righteous as Zhang Haolie. Since she had various types of mini 4WD cars, wouldn’t it be fun, if she specially designs a few mini 4WD cars to destroy other cars?
After all, Xiao Chun was the experienced idiot. She would drag others down to her level and beat them with that experience. She was the guardian of all past victims of “The Destruction Corps.” Naturally, the children watching the anime would find Xiao Chun intriguing and hilarious.
This time, Zhao Youyue’s plan was to make the lively, dorky Xiao Chun, who owned a glorious mini 4WD, turn to a funny and sarcastic character, as well as a strong and respected heroine who would constantly keep “The Destruction Corps” in check, yet be plagued by the husky running gag.
As Zhao Youyue carried out her plan, the scriptwriter – Tian Jun grew intoxicated. Feeling a sudden burst of inspiration, he ended up developing more of the plot and even went on to draw “The World’s Soaring Crow,” which looked as dazzling as the Batmobile!
Tian Jun was not only the scriptwriter for the anime of “The 4WD God”. He was also a designer of mini 4WD cars, and had shares in a company which produced them. If not for this, he would not have made 3 animes about mini 4WD cars.
When Tian Jun saw how cool Xiao Chun’s mini 4WD car looked, he decided that he would not remove it from the anime. It did not matter if it was slow. If it looked this good, it would sell like hotcakes in the real world!
Then, he proceeded to review his newly written episode. He did not find it funny at all, but he felt that Xiao Chun’s character was progressing rather meaningfully…
At the end of it, he considered it an acceptable progression. It did not divert from the plot heavily, nor did it affect the main character in any way. Furthermore, he could utilize Xiao Chun’s character to slowly and deliberately lighten up the nerve-wracking and tense atmosphere of the story. A character like Xiao Chun could serve as a good outlet.
After Tian Jun handed the new episode over to the anime supervisor and the animation department, they started to work on it. As the team was working on the character of “Zhou Chun,” it was as if they had magically received a “buff.” Even the voice actress became fully engrossed in her work. It was just like “War Heroes,” where the entire scriptwriting team got intoxicated. This time, however, it was the whole production team who got intoxicated!
This was the power of the “Two Dimensional Gate,” an existence that was far beyond human comprehension, but nonetheless still existed. It was something like causuality[1], whatever Zhao Youyue did would inevitably influence the creator’s mind.
Zhao Youyue now kept herself updated with anything related to “The 4WD God.” The newest episode was released fairly quickly, so she had the opportunity to watch the reformed “Xiao Chun,” who now had a higher sense of presence and a completely different personality. Of course, the general public would not be able to tell that Xiao Chun’s personality has changed drastically, because she had always been a vivacious girl. Now, she was not only vivacious, but retarded as well…
