Chapter 60 - Feeding Prohibited (2/2)
Tourists had purchased tickets to visit the park but refused to watch any of the other performances, choosing to wait in line for a cartoon caricature. This was a perfect example of Chinese people and their crowd loving mentality, always afraid to miss out on a good deal.
By the time he finished all the caricatures, it was already 5:30 pm. He completed 86 caricatures in total, thankfully having the foresight to bring a couple of hundred sheets of paper.
Not all 86 caricatures gave Meng Fan experience for the task [ Illustrator ], counting all about 30 didn’t make the standard set by the system. This standard made Meng Fan feel very helpless, mostly because he didn’t know what it was!
After discovering that some drawings did not increase his experience, Meng Fan began to compare, but even after comparing all of the drawings, he couldn’t seem to find a pattern. Meng Fan felt powerless.
However, in terms of time and cost efficiency, Meng Fan believed that drawing these caricatures was way more lucrative than doing illustrations in the studio.
Therefore, no matter what the standard was, it was probably better to draw higher quality portraits in a short amount of time.
At this stage, task phase 3 of [Illustrator]: 413/500.
He was only 87 away from completing the mission, and he was progressing much faster than expected.
He had streamed five hours already, and the amount of online viewers reached another peak high at 42,000.
In addition to the visible location of his ‘booth’ and today being Saturday so tourists were abundant, Meng Fan approximated about 100,000 total viewers before he logged off his channel. It had exceeded his expectations however, reaching 137,000!
The amount of total views for his entire channel suddenly increased to nearly 410,000.
All the gifts he’d accumulated through the stream these last few days had boosted his UP level to 18.
Of course, compared to these, to Meng Fan, the biggest gain from the day was the twelve other pretty girls following after the monolid girl who told him he looked good when he smiled.
Logging off, Meng Fan was packing his stuff when four onlookers surrounded him, one of them being the Shi Zhan youth.
“Meng host, they’re also fans of your channel!”
The Shi Zhan youth excitedly introduced the three people, one of which Meng Fan had been familiar with through his username. The other had been pulled into his admin group chat, and they had conversed before too.
“You guys actually came!”
Meng Fan often saw people in the live chat boast of coming to the booth to watch him stream but didn’t expect any of them to actually show up. Meng Fan just felt it was unexpected, but not strange; for he had also once bought plane tickets to a certain city to see a certain CV concert and attend their handshake event.
Of the three netizens, two were timid and one was an extrovert. In addition to the presence of the Shi Zhan youth who had already engaged him in face to face experience, Meng Fan didn’t feel awkward being around them.
The four speedily helped Meng Fan take down his booth.
Meng Fan thanked Gao, and said to the four, “Let me buy you guys dinner.”
One of the extroverted netizens was shocked. “You can still eat?”
“You guys eat, I’ll draw your caricatures. ”
As anticipated; Meng Fan, who had been fed to the brink of collapse, was naturally unable to eat.
An hour later, Meng Fan didn’t wait for the Shi Zhan youth to offer him a ride home and hurriedly hailed a taxi back to the campus.
After Meng Fan left, the four netizens unanimously took out their cell phones and entered the group chat on Meng Fan’s channel. They then one by one uploaded the photos from today into the group.
After returning to the academy, Meng Fan headed to the track to run his ten kilometers. After showering, he didn’t go to the studio to stream but comfortably headed back to lay on his bed and read manga on his iPad.
After his reincarnation, Meng Fan indeed worked very hard. His schedule had been packed by the system, basically filling every day with activities to do. For him, nights like tonight where he could read manga for four hours before happily gaming for another two hours has never happened before!
“Did the Meng Fan I knew came back?!”
This was the unanimous feeling of all the three roommates upon seeing Meng Fan’s downfall into his old habits.
The next morning, Meng Fan did not wake up for his morning run, and it was already 8 o clock. The three felt even more strange.
Strange, yet familiar!
They became dumbfounded, however, when Meng Fan woke up at 8:30 and told them he was attending a mini-marathon for a charity event.
“Are you sure you’re not playing tricks right now?”
