Chapter 149 - Genius (2/2)

Da Fei took his “admission” ticket to the card punch and joined the lineup. Meng Fan stood on the side and observed the new machines. The shape had changed a lot. They were stamped with a large CGL basketball tournament logo, and the basket height and distance had also changed as well. The entire machine appeared to be wider, seeming more suitable for an official tournament.

Of course, such a large machine was not suitable to be placed in an arcade. The added space and increased performance of the machines were dispensable to the non-players of the competition. And the added dimensions were a big burden for the arcade. Venues were expensive!

The size of two competition machines was the same as three regular ones.

Although it was a good change, he still had to familiarize himself with it.

As they lined up, an hour had already passed before Meng Fan and Da Fei could have their turn, and they could only score three games too. Meng Fan tested it and found no problems. He played for two games and stopped, giving his spot to Da Fei.

“You’re not shooting anymore?”

“Mhmm. I just got a call about something, so I’m gonna head out first.”

After finding out that there were no problems, Meng Fan did not lineup again. He gave Da Fei a heads up and left.

Pao bro looked dismayed. “When the hell did he answer a call?”

Da Fei smiled. “Do you know what a genius is? Geniuses are the people with the most repetitions! He could control all of the organs in his body to participate in this repetition! Their eyes are cameras; their mouths are voice; their ears are recorders; their hands are photocopiers, and their brains are computers!”

Pao bro was even more stunned. ‘What are you saying? I choose to crash!’

Da Fei shrugged. “He’s a super genius, so a few repetitions are enough.”

On the way back, Meng Fan received a call from Qin Jiao.

“My friend said they received your poster, and they’re very satisfied, saying that its price was worth it.” Qin Jiao paused for a moment and spoke. She was a little suspicious. “I saw the poster you submitted to him. Your drawing skills were very good. It was much better than what I saw when you last submitted! You’ve improved very much! But I want to ask; why is your improvement so big?”

As Meng Fan’s professor and because Meng Fan’s mother was her teacher, Qin Jiao paid more attention to Meng Fan than her other students. During the last month, the greatest change in Meng Fan wasn’t his attitude toward school, and his eagerness to lose weight; it was his drawing skills!

They improved so quickly!

Although Qin Jiao did not learn manga, and her teachings weren’t about drawing skills but rather scenery and character design, but as the deputy director of the animation department, she was no stranger to manga and its techniques. She had long ago noticed the massive change in Meng Fan’s drawing skills, and what his current skills could mean!

How could anybody change this much in one month’s time? It would be like a two hundred pound fatty suddenly winning a bodybuilding competition, and at a national level too, at least!

Meng Fan long knew of Qin Jiao’s suspicion. In fact, he was already restraining himself from revealing all his drawing techniques. He had already thought of the most straightforward response. “I was never serious before, and I could still draw like that. Now that I’m serious and hardworking as well, of course, my improvements will be great.”

“Who are you trying to fool? Is this something that could be achieved through hard work and a serious attitude?”

“Then… I just might really be a genius!”
