27 If You Say So (1/2)
Earth and sky.
Long hair flying, rising toward the heavens.
Shrouded in black clouds.
Lighting streaking.
Meng Fan's drawing of a storm coming was stirring; except for the lightning streaks, which looked a little too thick.
”666!”
”Not bad, not bad!”
After a barrage of praise, the magic pen in Meng Fan's head got thinner, scratching over the lightning. At first, his viewers thought he was just drawing a detail, then slowly saw what was wrong.
”He's not drawing something, he's writing?”
—If your mom and I fell in the ocean, who would you save?
”WTF is he writing!”
—Me and your ex who is prettier?
”What the hell is this?”
—Do you think I look better in this dress or that one?
—Do you notice anything different about me today?
—Did I get fat?
—Do you think I'm annoying?
—Will you like another girl in the future?
—If someone gave you 1 billion dollars to dump me, what would you do?
—Do you think she's pretty?
—Am I the most comfortable one you've slept with?
—What are you thinking about?
—Can we talk?
—How much do you love me?
—Have you dreamt of me before?
—Do you remember what day it is today?
”Holy crap I'm dying!”
”Hahahahahahaha. Now, this is a real storm! Compared to this, a nuclear weapon and a mass robbery in 49 days is nothing!'
”Only 69 days of robbery can trump it! (sly emoji) ”
”If this is overcoming a storm, I'll never succeed!”
”The pain of being interrogated by a girlfriend!”
”I'll never be able to get past three of these in my lifetime!”
”I respect this storm!”
”Best one yet! Hey host, can I share this to my WeiBo?”
”This host's reflexes are too good!”
”Psycho!”
”This host is poison!”
”Motherf*cker, you're a genius!”
”Here are some gifts.”
”Real storm, bro!”
Meng Fan recalled the couple from the other night, a chill running down his spine. In the spirit of research, he scoured the internet for some terrifying aspects of relationships, many of them being terrifying questions asked by girlfriends.
As he was drawing the 'storm' scene, he was inspired to apply what he learned.
Looking at all the gifts in the comments, it seemed like his work had paid off.
Meng Fan glanced over to see his viewers had exceeded 2000, and the live comments spoke more and more of 'Rampage and Repair the world'. Evidently, many of these viewers were fans of the book.
A channel with 2000 people was still a small following, not even comparing to the popular ones, as even in the 'artist' category, it was barely average. You could pick any stream from any category, and based on online viewers alone, most could slap Meng Fan in terms of figures.
If he could get himself on the main page, then there was no question, the number of people poking their heads in every minute would be enough for Meng Fan to live on for two to three days.
He hoped he could arrange for a 'recommended' spot soon!
After posting the link to his boss's book, Meng Fan began to draw the second batch of 5 illustrations.
His first subject had to be the male protagonist. Named Yuan Chong, age nineteen at the beginning of the story, he had a crew cut and was a typical dorky wholesome boy.
Meng Fan wanted to draw the protagonist when he first entered the realm and saw the defender's sword. He did a good job depicting the shock and disbelief on his face.
