Chapter 99 - Two Separate Millions (1/2)
Although Xing Ta Ge didn’t care much for the publication of their manga—for he only wanted it as a starting portfolio piece—but seeing the successful review result of their first submission, he was still very excited.
Meng Fan was too.
So far, there had been several accomplishment tasks, fourteen in total. But To Meng Fan, there were only two tasks that he had genuinely wanted to complete. One is the illustrator task, and the other being the manga artist task.
Of course, he could not ignore the attribute rewards he’d gained from the other tasks.
Among these attribute rewards, Meng fan cared the most about the ones that could assist his drawing process, for example, hand speed.
He told himself it had been for finding love, but really, he was more concerned about his art.
If you asked Meng Fan what he spent most of his life’s time, then it would undoubtedly be… sleeping.
Of course, aside from sleeping, next would be drawing.
He could draw with a pen before he knew how to use chopsticks!
Although he had violated his mother’s original intention for him to become a famous traditional Chinese artist and became interested in manga, it was still relevant to art.
After passing the review, Meng Fan, like many newcomers, added his own publication to his collection. He changed the number of collections from 0 to 1. At this moment, an alert sounded in his head, signaling the unlocking of a new task.
“Ding! You’ve triggered the achievement task [Collector of Millions].”
“The task requires your online publication to be collected 1 million times.”
“Upon completion, you will receive the title [Collector of Millions] (Drawing skills +3, set design +3, screenwriting +3)”
There was only one task, with a +100 reward and no additional attributes.
Simply put, he’d have to complete the entire [Collector of Millions] task before he could receive any rewards. Moreover, the attributes were average and in small amounts. It was similar to the attributes of the manga artist task.
The [Manga artist] task was not hard, for it only required him to publish and produce a single volume, which could be done very simply.
But these one million collections were difficult to obtain. Even if you could count several mangas as points!
The rewards were the same though. Ridiculous.
In the system’s view, ‘difficulty’ was only incidental when it pertains to how much experience he can receive?
‘Hold on!’
Meng Fan thought. Since he had already triggered it by adding to a collection, could clicking also trigger it? It’s much easier to profit off clicks than for others to add the novel to a collection.
Each account could only add to their collection once, but if it was clicked, it could be repeatedly done according to the algorithms of the Penguin animation network.
Meng Fan had seen the rankings before. It was already terrifying and rare for someone to have a couple of million collectors, but as for clicks based on popularity, there were several in billions!
He swiftly refreshed the page.
He saw the popularity of his manga go from 0 to 1, but it did not trigger the task.
He gave up after trying several more times to no avail.
Achievement task unlocked. Heh. Let fate decide!
“Got it!”
Xing Ta Ge gave Meng Fan a high five, then chuckled. “Aside from the script, I’ll leave everything else to you!”
Meng Fan nodded. Based on Xing Ta Ge’s lazy tendencies, it was already a miracle for him to produce a script. He did not dream of asking for more.
Zhang Zhou Wei probed his head in. “You should refresh the interface and see your collections, I’ve advertised a lot for you guys.”
Meng Fan refreshed it and immediately saw over twenty or so collectors. Refreshing again, he’d received a dozen or so more. After three minutes, they had over 100 collectors.
Originally, he did not care much for the results, but thinking about it, who would oppose having a higher quality Manga? Although they were friendship ‘collectors’, it still counted!
In addition to the existence of the [Collector of Millions], Meng Fan couldn’t help but advertise it before the end of his stream.
If they watched Meng Fan’s stream, there was a ninety percent chance that his viewers were manga and anime enthusiasts. Coupled with seeing Meng Fan illustrate this manga previously on stream, they would be even more interested.
Most of the fickle netizens would have accounts already, and those who didn’t could just create one with QQ or Wechat. How convenient!
“This name is too badass!”
“Hahaha is this a real script?!”
“RoMANce? Is this Mr. Kato’s campus love story?”
“Are you sure it’s not about a juicy man?”
“Then the main female character would be the juice mixer!”
