Chapter 124 - Self Publish (1/2)

The arcade was located inside a shopping center, so Meng Fan took Qu Jing Jing and the three other girls along with Da Fei, Pao, and pink hat guy to the fifth floor, which was dedicated to restaurants.

It was already 7:00 pm, and Meng Fan hadn’t eaten yet. After asking the opinions of the cute girls and discovering they had come without eating first, they decided on a place that served Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine.

As for the opinions of the other three people and Da Fei; he didn’t have to ask to know that they had none.

They happily ate a meal together, leaving the mall and hailed two cabs as a cluster of eight people. The four cute girls took one, and the four rough men took the other.

Da Fei and the other guys were headed to a place not far from the Academy of Arts, so they got out of the car first. Meng Fan directed the driver to his neighborhood without heading back to school.

He had finally gained the first point from the task [I am A Champion]. With this ticket into the city level qualifiers, Meng Fan would have a chance to enter the provincial level competition.

He had learned quite a bit from Da Fei. Although there were some master tier players in Hangzhou, as it was one of the top three provinces, he knew it wouldn’t be difficult to win the championship, which would win him another championship honor point.

After the city qualifiers came the provincial finals. If he could win that as well, that would be another point.

After that would be the national qualifiers. If he could win that, it would be two more champion honor points.

Meng Fan knew that it was a long-term goal to complete the task [I am a Champion]. Based on his current situation, arcade basketball was a feasible way to earn honor points, so he didn’t want to miss out on any events.

After taking the arcade’s championship, Meng Fan’s next task was undoubtedly his manga.

Qin Jiao had already helped him complete most of the procedures required for publishing. All Meng Fan needed to do was speed up his creations so he could finish a full volume for Qin Jiao to submit for trial.

Including the manuscripts he currently had, the manga had reached its eighth chapter. According to the length of “Guide to Campus RoMANce”, it would be easy to publish a volume with nine chapters. However, because of the plot development—which had no ups and downs but still carried a little plot—Meng Fan felt it was better to publish each volume with 10 chapters each.

He was okay with having broken chapters, but it would be too excessive if they broke each chapter.

He worked on the manga until 12:00 am and stopped for a break. After seeing a message from Wu Tong, he chatted with her for a while before checking his other updates.

Several of them were from the newly added campus editor from Penguin Animation Network.

“Hello, junior.”

“I’ve read all of “Guide to Campus RoMANce” and not just once either. I’ve also seen you stream the illustrations.”

“Your drawing skills are top-notch in the industry, and the style is very comfortable to look at too, forming your own unique style. However, it is undeniable that there are still some shortcomings in the mangas scriptwriting and storyboard. It seems that “Guide to Campus RoMANce” has its scriptwriter.”

“I’m disappointed that you can’t sign a contract with us because you want to publish your own novel, but at the same time, I still hope to collaborate with you. Coincidentally, I have a suitable collaboration opportunity here, which is the readaptation of a novel into a manga. We will provide you with a special story writer and scriptwriter. If you need an assistant, we can provide that as well.”

“Presently, we have a few novels that have been adapted into manga with a few famous ones. I don’t know if you have any plans to participate in a manga adaptation? You can choose any novel you like.”

After reading this, Meng Fan slapped his thigh. He suddenly remembered Mr. Sleepy!

Didn’t Mr. Sleepy speak to him about adapting his novel “There’s a Spirit Underground” into a manga? He agreed to give him a response within a week. It seemed like the time should be up by… now?

It was even more rare that Mr. Sleepy did not rush him. Even if his updates were not diligent, he was still diligent toward everything else. Maybe he was being so passive because of issues related to his novel?

With Meng Fan’s current skills, his drawing abilities far exceeded his scriptwriting ones. If he was going to take up manga creation, novel adaptations would be a wise choice.
