Chapter 55 - On the Way (1/2)
After the confident aunty had successfully ‘soloed’ the lipstick girl, Meng Fan once again entered into a state of high-speed drawing; churning out a portrait every 3 minutes, resolving a picture in one minute, and immediately started the next caricature.
Since there was already a designated reward for a smile appeal, Meng Fan tried to cooperate and cracked open a smile during his next photo, in case the system had a glitch and canceled the reward because he never smiled throughout the whole process.
In any case, smile appeal also sounded like a metaphysical attribute, but it couldn’t hurt to have a more appealing laugh when in a relationship, right?
Because of the previous ‘tradition’ plus Meng Fan’s expression that anticipated a photo after each drawing, the pretty girls were all happy to take a picture with him after they’d received their caricatures. Besides, their faces were so small in these photos; as when taking photos with other obsessive individuals, they had to fight and hide around to achieve a small face. Now, they could stick their face forward all they wanted, and still, have a small face in the resulting photo.
No matter how they took it, they would always look good!
Asides from the lipstick girl who was defeated by the confident aunty, everyone who received a caricature had taken a selfie with Meng Fan. An hour later, he had accumulated 27 drawings and 26 selfies, including the 10 from before.
Excluding the time it took to take the photos, it had taken him an hour to draw 17 caricatures. His speed was terrifying.
Even the fickle netizens who knew of Meng Fan’s deadly drawing speed had sent out an array of 666s and gifts when Meng Fan stood up to leave for a while, reaching an all-time peak for gifts.
“Yo yo yo, that’s incredible!”
“Hahaha the pretty girl just sat down and I didn’t even finish analyzing her measurements when he finished drawing!”
“If you followed this speed, Meng Boss could easily draw two hundred in a day!”
“Give Meng boss a pen, and he’ll draw all of Song Cheng.”
“Give a bottle of vinegar to a person from Jin Province, and he will mix everything.”
“Give a pancake to a Jinmen person, and he will roll out your future.”
Strangely, the quotes began to line up in the channel…
“Give the Northeasterner a pot, and they will make all of humanity into a casserole.”
“Give the people of Shaan Xi a bun, and they will sandwich the world.”
“Give the people of Zhe Jiang a can of sugar, and they will turn the entire galaxy sweet and sour.”
“Give a Shan Cheng person a hotpot, and they will boil the entire universe.”
“Give a Yun Zhen person a handful of fungus, and they will create a fantasy world.”
“Give a GuangDong person a crock pot, and they will marinate an entire HuJian.”
“Give a SuZhou person a roll of test papers, and they will add quotations to all of the above.”
“One of these is not like the rest!”
“Hahaha I’m dying from laughter, you’re all too goddamn talented!”
“I think it’s quite alright.”
“I’m shaking in the presence of your masters.”
“Badass.”
“Hahahaha look now, Meng host is being fed again!”
An average looking girl with an above-average smile who had received her drawing within five minutes returned to Meng Fan with a cup of grass jelly, sweetly coaxing him to eat slowly.
“Thank you.”
Meng Fan received it and hesitated for a moment before scarfing it down in two bites.
Maybe it was because of the ice cola the confident aunty had given, but this pretty girl had also found a way to express her gratitude. Every three or so customers would buy him something. This was becoming some sort of a small scale feeding ground.
The most important thing is that this kind of thing had many kinds, but not much weight. In this weather, if he left it out even for a while, they would surely go bad.
Taking into consideration Meng Fan’s character, watching food go bad was the equivalent of seeing someone die and not helping.
Might as well eat it.
He couldn’t forsake everyone’s kindness.
What’s gonna happen if he ate it all? It was only a matter of ten kilometers, if not twenty.
The road to weight loss couldn’t be completed in a few days, sometimes it was okay to let go a little… right? Wasn’t there a saying that had been very accurate? Perseverance is like a rubber band if you kept it stretched it will snap, so it was necessary to occasionally loosen it.
Meng Fan wholeheartedly agreed with this statement, but he couldn’t remember which legendary figure had said it.
After eating the grass jelly, Meng Fan looked at the time. It was almost 4:00 pm. He took a look at the people still in line, seeing about twenty or so.
