23 Web Novel Illustrator (2/2)

Of course, even at such speed, he was still a whopping 500 drawings behind from completing task phase 3.

As he drew, Meng Fan tried not to display all of his newly gained drawing skills at once. He was aiming to drag out the process to make it seem like growth and development. Every day, he demonstrated a bit more, hence he wasn't performing at his best only after two days. The feeling of suppression did not feel good of course, but at least it left his iffy audience in awe and wonder.

These few days, his total views went up, but the number of viewers each stream stayed the same. The viewers in the past two days didn't even match the previous days.

The engagement was great, but there were not that many new viewers. The channel no longer received any 'center spot halo' badges anymore, but he did get a lot of smaller gifts.

Currently, the progress for [Famous Streamer] was at 9400/10,000. He was so close to receiving the prize.

Streaming was not as easy as it seemed. It sounded easy to become famous overnight, but when it came down to it, only a handful of people actually achieved overnight success. If not, there wouldn't be so many streamers that focused on current events and reviews.

Beneath those who gained overnight fame were the streamers and hosts who pulled an all-nighter after all-nighter until their dark circles became permanent and contracted insomnia… Each profession was a golden tower. There were a few people on the top who could be seen, and the majority clustered below, unknown to the world.

Guess he'll have to climb his way up. Meng Fan didn't expect to blow up overnight; he just wanted to gain some more views.

At the moment, he already signed a contract with 8th station. He was hoping he could strive for a spot on the recommended list. This would attract way more people than a 'center spot halo' would.

On the third day, the weather finally cleared up, and in a burst, Meng Fan ran an extra 2 km after his usual 5 km. After decreasing his speed, he didn't feel as pressured as before.

He was only 5 kilometers away from completing the 60 kilometers from task phase 3 of [Travelling Deity]. If the weather was good in the afternoon, he would be able to claim his reward of speed +1 and 50 points.

”Fat Meng, can you illustrate a novel?”

Shortly after the morning class ended, user BeeBuzzbuzz from his ”stream channel management group” sent Meng Fan a WeChat message. He was also a good friend.

”Why are you asking that all of a sudden?” Meng Fan was curious.

”I have a buddy who's writing an online novel, he could be considered a small guru. Currently, it's popular for internet authors to open accounts on public platforms, so he gave it a shot. Normally, he just posts about his progress and occasionally some favorited pictures. His follower count and reader count aren't bad, and his monthly advertisement pay is very impressive as well.”

”Right now his series is pretty popular, so he's pretty close to reaching the title of 'guru'. He blew up, so naturally that more people are paying attention to his social media accounts, so he's willing to spend more resources to manage his accounts. Recently, he's been looking for an artist to illustrate his novel, so I recommended you the moment I found out. I showed him your streams lately, and he thinks you're pretty good, not to mention fast. He thinks you can satisfy his needs.”

Meng Fan suddenly asked, ”Does he want a lot?”

BeeBuzz hesitated for a long time and sent a row of ellipses, then continued, ”He needs about 10 drawings a week, so he's looking for a long-term partnership. The normal artists he met with weren't good enough to him, and the better ones definitely won't be just drawing for him alone, so they can't produce fast enough. Will you take it? He will pay a lot.”

”Of course, I'll take it. I just helped Xiao Ti finish the art for his book ”Floating Dream in a Millenium”. Meng Fan couldn't help but bluff a bit. ”I mean, there are too many web novels after me. I don't know if I can fit all of them.” Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Bee responded, ”It's not a lot since it's a new novel; there are only around 800,000 characters. Besides, if you think it's too long, just read the beginning. I can summarize for you the character designs and styles.”

After processing for two seconds, Bee suddenly sent a voicemail. He sounded excited. ”Wait what did you just say? Xiao Ti! Xiao Ti's new book! You are the illustrator?! When did that happen? Why didn't you say sooner? So, you know Xiao Ti? That's insane!”
