Chapter 70 - Shoujo Manga? (1/2)
Historical style with ghosts and creatures. This was the direction of the manga design that Meng Fan had set initially, and it was also the direction that he excelled most at.
As for the plot… This was a problem that made Meng Fan’s head ache.
Not to say that he didn’t have the slightest clue, but for these last few years, he had prepared tens of thousands words just regarding basic plots and settings alone.
Only, it was difficult to extract the important events and connect them together.
As for what the theme was, Meng Fan was also caught between several choices.
In a blink, it was ten o’clock.
Although the administrator did not rush him, Meng Fan still obediently stood up.
On the way home, he checked his phone. There were quite a lot of notifications from WeChat; ten of them being from Wu Tong, which tugged at Meng Fan’s smile, urging him to open it.
They were all related to the Mou Dong APP’s charity event by the Xi Zi lake. As long as it was a photo, Meng Fan was for sure to be in them. He was very easy to find.
There were also a few news media Weibo links, which also included Meng Fan.
There were even some articles focused on Meng Fan.
Running the mini-marathon in 60 minutes and weighing in at 200+ pounds, Meng Fan had blown up amongst the sports circle in this APP.
“If Hu Ting Song gives you trouble, you have to tell me.”
This was the only thing Wu Tong had sent that wasn’t a link.
Meng Fan ignored her. He sent her a vain emoji. “I didn’t think I was this photogenic, haha!”
“ ̄へ ̄ You’ve streamed so many selfies. Do you still not know you’re photogenic?”
It didn’t matter what they talked about; what mattered was who he talked with.
Meng Fan and Wu Tong chatted away as he hummed a small tune on his way back. Passing by the small convenience store, he resisted the impulse to buy a bottle of iced cola.
He really had to lose some weight!
After all, being fat was an obstacle. Nevermind the rest, it was not good to have their hearts so distant when he was hugging someone.
It seemed that the lengthy distance between their two hearts wasn’t caused by him alone. After all, Wu Tong had also created some distance…
F*ck! What are you thinking about!
He briskly walked toward his dormitory. His depression from the lack of iced cola was immediately washed away by the moronic smiles of the three idiots.
After heading back to the dorm and taking a shower, Wu Tong responded to Meng Fan’s previous messages with a goodnight. Meng Fan was happy, yet unwilling. They had finally entered the realm of casual chatting.
After ending his conversation with Wu Tong, he then took a look at the other WeChat notifications. He had received a few friend requests on his contact list.
He ignored some of the ones that didn’t have a caption. Some of them had added the wrong person, and another portion just looked unhealthy at first glance.
Out of these, one of them had a proper caption. She was probably the senpai who was starting a manga that Qin Jiao had introduced to him earlier. He added her on Wechat to better facilitate their communication and more easily submit manuscripts.
Seeing this, he thought of Qin Jiao. Meng Fan was speechless. How could she be just like his sisters, finding ways to troll him for her own entertainment!
The next morning, Meng Fan appeared on the track at five o’clock. He warmed up and began running.
This time, Meng Fan didn’t ingest any sports drinks or energy chews. However, on the adrenaline of his 60-minute experience from yesterday, counting as competition experience, Meng Fan’s result had increased significantly this time around. The entire run, he managed to keep his speed under 7 minutes per kilometer. His final elapsed time for the ten kilometers was 1 hour 09 minutes and 52 seconds!
This was a whole two minutes faster than his last morning run!
So far, Meng Fan had already run 240 kilometers and was only 400 kilometers away from completing the next task phase. He would get +2 points of strength, in addition to the 160 kilometers of exercise. Meng Fan felt it was possible to finish in under 60 minutes with these abilities.
