Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The group took turns hailing their cabs with Meng Fan following last. Since Chen Da Qiang was present, the task of ordering food was handed to him.

Meng Fan was still holding onto his cell phone that Qu Jing Jing had passed him. The stream was still live.

Although the CGL hegemony’s basketball tournament was complete, the enthusiasm in the stream was still sky-high. There was a high number of viewers who hadn’t left yet, and they were all waiting for Meng Fan.

It was like when some games ended and your favorite player won the championship. You already saw the moment they won and the awards ceremony, and all that awaited was the post-game interview.

Yes, this was their interview, not the reporters’.

Regardless, they were all looking forward to talking with the new world record holder, Meng Fan. Although nobody has heard of this record before, it did not hinder their passion at the very least.

If you say someone had broken the record, there would be a sense of collective honor that excited most people. Then you’d send a few Wechat moments or a Weibo, and it would count as exciting enough. However, Meng Fan was different. Although not many people in the stream had seen him before, Meng Fan already felt like a person close to them.

Many fickle netizens had followed his journey from streaming art to running, his run from Hangzhou to Shanghai, then to basketball machine shooting, and etc. To them, or at least subconsciously, they felt like they had completed the journey with Meng Fan. From a certain point of view, this was the relationship between idol groups and their fans.

To be more general, they had watched, dissed, picked, supported, and rewarded him. At a deeper level, Meng Fan carried a part of their dreams with him.

If you didn’t have the slightest dream of drawing, or simply thought about having the ability to draw, would you watch a drawing stream?

If you didn’t see the perseverance within yourself after watching Meng Fan run from Hangzhou to Shanghai, would you keep following him like a TV series?

If you… Alright, there were also people who were just bored and came to see the fuss.

Of course, you could also say there was so much going on in the world, so why choose this stream to follow? It’s obviously because the lines drawn by this streamer were so beautiful it had appealed to you!

All in all, the fickle netizens went wild when they saw Meng Fan return into the screen, sending out barrages of 666s.

“Hello everyone, I… I… I… I think I’m lagging, let me relog.”

Meng Fan took the phone and had wanted to talk with his fickle netizens. He knew from Qu Jing Jing that everyone had been waiting for a long time, and would occasionally glance over at the virtual interface to see what was going on. The netizens sent a lot of gifts, only, the unscrupulous host had seen the progress for [Famous Streamer] was at 993,000 views, and he was only 70,000 viewers away from completing task phase 4.

These 70,000 views… He was about to log off, so there wouldn’t be that many netizens tuning in, but he wanted to quickly collect the remaining experience. How would he do that?

Hehe. He’d log out and reopen the stream!

Meng Fan logged out and relogged. The fickle netizens naturally then had to refresh their browser or close and reopen it. This enter and re-enter process skyrocketed the number of views.

If you use this routine all the time, it would be disrespectful to the fickle netizens. But to use it once in a while, everyone should understand… right?

Before logging off, there were 200,000 viewers online. Refreshing like this, not all of them were guaranteed to return, but it shouldn’t be too hard to maintain at least 180,000.

They’ve already waited for so long, this relog time was nothing!

“Ding!”

When the amount of viewers reached 70,000, Meng Fan heard the alert go off in his mind. His total viewers had reached 10 million, completing task phase 4 of [Famous Streamer]. He received +1000 achievement points and +1 charm.

So far, the four phases from [Famous Streamer] had awarded Meng Fan with a total of +4 charm.

So far, he’d accumulated 3945 points. By now, he had purchased all the products in the existing tasks except for the black magic microphone from the [Concert Killer] task.

Regarding these extra points, Meng Fan couldn’t manage it anyways. It was better to have it than not, and he instinctively felt that these extra points will come in handy eventually, only he didn’t know why.

Meng Fan directed the camera towards himself, looking towards the stream with a charming expression. He couldn’t help but chuckle as he asked his netizens in the stream, “One question for you guys, aren’t I handsome?!”

“Are you shameless?”

In the live comments, it was as if there was an organ sale going on as the comments were so organized.

“Handsome!”

“So handsome!”

“So handsome that it’s overwhelming my face!”

“Are you sure about what’s on your face?”

“Can I ask this holy monk, where is the thief?”

The netizens knew Meng Fan was asking if his record-breaking just now was handsome, and only a handful of netizens responded in a twisted way.

“Stop messing around, I really think Meng fatty is getting more and more attractive!”

“This f*cking fat ass really has some potential, if he loses weight, his attractiveness is going up!”

“What to do now, I used to like Meng fatty’s talent, but now I kinda like his appearance!”

“I’ve become a shallow person!”

The effects of +1 charm were not bad. Only it was not limited to upgrading his facial features. Hence, everyone accepted it was because his charisma had risen up after winning the championship, or a subconscious change that the way they looked at Meng Fan had changed.

It made sense, people became more charismatic because of their added auras. For example, social status, temperament, and so forth were all different kinds of auras. Meng Fan’s victory and his world record was also an aura.

Da Fei, Ye Xiao An, the pink hat guy, and Pao bro were all invited to eat by Meng Fan. They remained the last bunch to leave with him, and when they heard him ask his fickle netizens if he was handsome or not, they were a bit speechless.

This was a f*cking guy who broke a world record, shouldn’t he be more modest?

To a couple of hundred-thousand people too!

Although anyone would be excited if they broke a world record, the more excited they got, the more modest they should be, a subtle flex could lighten the mood.

But this guy was different. The arrogance! But it strangely seemed that he was still very down to earth.

They did not understand it.

On the other side, Meng Fan asked once again if he was handsome or not, and added, “I will continue to be handsome.” Then he logged off.

Da Fei and the other three saw the sullen netizens were also dumbstruck.

Was Meng Fan this hardcore now?

Hahahaha, it seems kind of interesting!

He was shameless but so lovable!

Meng Fan put away his phone and hailed a taxi. He then turned to Da Fei and the other three who were stunned and said, “Don’t look at me, no matter how hard you look you won’t inherit my handsomeness.”

He pulled open the passenger seat door and waved, gesturing for them to get in the car.

When Da Fei and the other three got in the car, he gave Meng Fan the middle finger. He held it all the way to the waterfront restaurant, which made the driver uncomfortable as he kept glancing back at Meng Fan for help.
