Chapter 53: Netizens in Real Life

Meng Fan had drawn five portraits already, and all of them really were aesthetically very attractive. If you calculated it, Ma Xiao Chun, the wallflower of the city wall only ranked number three on that list. There were two that were evidently prettier than her, and two who were about the same.

Looking towards the queue that had formed; except for the aunty who had boasted about her daughter’s looks and drawing skills, it was all pretty girls younger than the age of 30.

You have to take a closer look. The aunty who had boasted so much wasn’t bad looking either. If she had been ten years younger, she would have been able to rival most of these girls.

Do similar people gather together?

Regardless, it inexplicably became like this.

Some of the below-average looking people had taken a look at the lineup and were afraid to join.

Even some of the ones who had lined up earlier left the queue.

The men, in fact, assumed it had been an event just for girls; why else would there be no men in the line?

What do caricatures got to do with us anyway? We’ll just watch it.

Seeing Meng Fan draw, and the girls he had been drawing, it was as if they were the netizens from his stream. The only difference was they were at the site, so they could see a wider range.

For example, they could at least see what Meng Fan looked like.

Hehe. He’s so fat but so flexible… All of his flexibility must have been transferred to his hands at birth!

As well, they could see all the cute girls taking photos with Meng Fan, their faces were close to his.

The netizens watching through the stream channel couldn’t see due to Meng Fan not turning around. They could only see small portions of the figures behind him, as every pretty girl that ended up next to Meng Fan were like dependable small birds next to a human.

Of course, with so little to see, the fickle netizens had basically confirmed that the name ‘Meng Fatty’, shouldn’t be spoken so casually.

“Thanks, you’re really amazing.”

The sixth pretty lady was beaming with happiness from head to toe. This kind of joy could not be contained in just a floral dress. Once she received the drawing, her smile widened, and following the five girls before her also approached to take a photo with Meng Fan.

She also wore a Panama hat, and seeing that Meng Fan was wearing one too, had refrained from removing it. She got closer and began to snap photos.

After finishing, she took one more look. She knew that the hat Meng Fan was sporting was not a fake but one that had been fabricated in Panama, and judging by the fiber of the trim, its density was far higher than the one she was wearing. This discovery made her eyes light up.

This hat must have cost at least ten thousand HXB.

If it was only 10,000 HXB, on her body, or to her circle of friends, it could not be considered as much. Who doesn’t have a few presentable purses in the 20,000 to 30,000 range?

But if this number stemmed from a single item such as a hat, it would make all the difference.

This reminded her of a birthday party she had attended for a goddess level girl from her circle of friends. She had many pursuers, three of which were present that day. Two had gifted purses in the tens of thousands range, while one had gifted a brooch worth over fifty thousand HXB.

The result…

The ten thousand dollar purses had been dismissed—as if the girl hadn’t seen enough of those already—and it had been the presenter of the brooch which was worth half of the purses price tag that she had praised and regarded. To her, he became a tasteful person, who was also generous, and not long after the party, he had successfully won her beauty.

Anyone from her friend group who gifted imported goods was deadly accurate.

The comparison between purses and the brooch can also be used when referring to men.

If two men; one wearing a watch in the 100,000 range, the other wearing a pair of cufflinks worth 20,000… Most people would assume if the latter could afford 20,000 cufflinks would be able to afford an 100,000 dollar watch, despite not having seen him wear it. However, if he was able to spend hundreds of thousands on a watch, he probably doesn’t have 20,000 dollar cufflinks, as you haven’t seen him wear it either.

Money should be spent polishing the blade, as sometimes it wasn’t just enough to spend on the essentials.

“Hey there, are you streaming?” After collecting her drifted thoughts, the girl in the floral dress sounded about two times sweeter than she had when she thanked him. “What platform are you streaming on, and what’s the channel called? I’ll go check it out.”

The seventh cutie was already in place. This pretty girl was on the heavier side, but her facial features were bountiful and on point. Overall, she was no less pretty than the previous girls.

Meng Fan continued to draw. When he heard the questions from the floral dress, he didn’t process it, casually responding: “Aren’t you already watching now?”

This caused collective condemnation from the fickle netizens on the streaming channel.

“Meng fatty, do you have no emotional intelligence? Do you really have no f*cking clue what the pretty girl was implying?”

“Hehehe Meng fatty is obviously fronting!”

“Could you guys not deduce from Meng fatty’s conversation with the first girl why he is single?”

As the discussion began to heat up in the stream channel, a thunderous voice boomed on the live stream site. “The host Meng fatty has begun streaming, on 8th Station. I’m in the recording space right now!”

It had come so suddenly, Meng Fan jumped from his seat and looked over. He saw a guy around 21, wearing a shirt with “Shi Zhan” written on it. He was smiling at Meng Fan.

The phrase “shi zhan” was very seldom used in the Chinese language. As an anime lover and a quasi-practitioner; Meng Fan’s first thought was of Ace from One Piece, who had worn items with different slogans across his chest when he was young. Evidently, this was a replica.

As for whether other people thought of Japanese culture upon seeing his shirt or not, Meng Fan had no idea. At least, he didn’t think that far.

The Shi Zhan youth had a loud voice and the stream assistant had a great sound receptor, so naturally, all the fickle netizens in the channel heard his announcement.

“Hahaha, who is the hero just now?!”

“BS, there’s actually fickle netizens present on site!”

“Can you tell me how fat the host really is!”

Not long after, a sentence appeared in the chat room. “Yours truly is the hero you speak of, I’ve made a fool of myself!”

Another comment followed. “I finally made it in, this channel is quite lively, I am that girl you guys said was cute beyond belief!”

Following up was a barrage of gifts and messages that accompanied the emergence of the cute girl.

It became a sh*tshow.

—Another one gifted. The floral suspender skirt on channel 131225 had gifted a ‘center spot halo’. Hurry and come help the host advance into center spot, rewards provided.

Bam. One ‘center spot halo’ emerged from the mess.

Then, the netizens saw the girl in the floral suspender dress who appeared on the stream and said to the camera, “This is the real me!”

She had an angry yet proud expression.

She turned to Meng Fan and smiled, cheerfully saying, “I often watch live streams on 8th Station too, here’s a center spot halo for you, add oil!”

As she spoke, she walked further away unblocking the camera frame.

A center spot halo cost 450, so in the eyes of the floral suspender dress, Meng Fan’s caricature portrait had been even more valuable than this.

“Thank you.”

Meng Fan didn’t expect it either and smiled at her. Only he didn’t know how to continue, so he went on drawing.

But in the live chat, anarchy had exploded. It wasn’t unusual to gift ‘center spot halos’, but the way that he had attained it was too smooth.

Meng Fan’s drawing speed was getting faster and faster, accelerating his progress to 5 minutes per caricature. In no time, he had gotten to the aunty, who just happened to be tenth in line.

The aunty did not sit but held the phone up for Meng Fan to draw once it was her turn. The entire time, she kept asking the online viewers if her daughter was cute or not. It was indeed… lively.

After drawing, the aunty was deep in thought, hesitating once again. She also chose to take a picture with Meng Fan holding her drawing like the previous girl had done. She held up her peace signs horizontally, palms facing inwards while opening a facetune app. How trendy!

In this regard; it was hard for Meng Fan to refuse, only after she snapped the photo, he froze.

Miraculously, a new task had been triggered!
