Chapter 152 (2/2)

“Hmmph. This cameraman is not as handsome as the tattooed hunk from last time!”

“Hahaha Meng fatty so seriously just said he was a basketball fan, is this true?”

“This fan is not a fan, Meng Fatty’s original name is Meng Xiao Xin.”

“I understand!”

“But he said that because of his figure, he couldn’t play basketball and had to resort to shooting machines… Seems legit!”

It was said that the power of these squatting reporters would be realized after a category produces a winner, but Meng Fan’s presence was too strong. Plus, his talents were strong as well. Everyone knew he had the championship on lock down. Hence, after Qian Tang TV interviewed him, all the other reporters also began their attack.

They had to interview him anyway, so why not do it sooner. What if this iron hero with his maid army decided to leave after the competition? They would miss a perfect opportunity to gather materials.

“Uhm, can I go eat first?”

The men’s doubles matches were over. Meng Fan discovered there were still media personnel flinging themselves on him, and began to panic. It wasn’t that there were too many reporters at the competition, for there were only about four or five groups max, but it was a bit terrifying that for no particular reason, the interviews had been freakishly long.

These so-called simple interviews had all lasted at least ten or fifteen minutes. They had purposefully tried to turn an interview into a conversation. Was it because they were bored since they had to wait for the finals anyways?

Meng Fan looked at them closely. But each time, the machines had been turned on.

“Buddy, if you don’t want to be interviewed you can just rest in the player’s lounge!” Da Fei heard Meng Fan’s annoyance and gave him the middle finger. “Over there, journalists can’t bother the players in their rest area, don’t you know? Standing like a sore thumb out here… You’re basically telling everyone that you’re a wild flower, and for everyone to come interview you!”

Meng Fan paused for a long time. “I am a very straightforward man, but I don’t want the friends I have to be straightforward as well!”

Da Fei cackled with laughter. “I can’t gloss it anymore.”

The group of people headed upstairs for lunch before returning to the venue. Meng Fan seemed to have missed Da Fei’s phone calls and was still watching the competition with Wu Tong and the others.

Was he repulsed by interviews?

A little.

But didn’t he still have the [News Figure] task? The subtask had listed that he must be reported on by a local media ten times. Upon completion, he would earn +1 validation and +1 charm. The former didn’t matter, but the latter was very important!

This subtask was not difficult, but not flexible either. He had to do something, and they just happened to be present today, so Meng Fan certainly hoped he could receive more interviews. Although he couldn’t guarantee the interviews could be aired, it would still increase his experience regardless.

Yes. There were only two agencies left, he had to stand around and wait for them.

He had slipped away previously because he was really hungry.

“It seems like you really want to be interviewed.”

The second round of men’s singles was about to begin when Meng Fan finally entered the ring. When Da Fei saw him, he gave him another middle finger.

Meng Fan chuckled and asked him, “They’ve interviewed me alright, but how can I get them to air it?”

“You want to be famous that bad?” Da Fei asked.

Meng Fan couldn’t tell him the truth so he shrugged his shoulders. “It’s not like it’s a bad thing.”

Da Fei laughed. “If you’re badass enough to break the competition record, there will be no shortage of aired reports.”
