BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - Beyond Godly Drawing Skills
Chapter 142: Beyond Godly Drawing Skills
Her specialty was playing a wide range of different games. Some people said this was one of the reasons why she wasn’t destined to become a famous streamer who had an annual income of over 10 million. Of course, some also said this was why she would become famous. “Destiny” has a tradeoff.
Of course, what surprised many people was that despite BunToothJi always switching up her games, her Bun army had always remained an adhesive bunch. Statistically, the fanbase for a video game streamer usually consisted of fans of the same game, but BunToothJi’s Bun army seemed different. Aside from some video game fans, most of them were fans of BunToothJi herself. They watched her stream no matter what she played even if it was a game they never played and weren’t planning to.
When Meng Fan went to her live stream, she was playing “Persona Five”. This had been the main game of her recent streams.
Meng Fan had never played this kind of game before, and the art style seemed to be very gothic. The content looked to be the suspenseful/thriller type. He recalled BunToothJi had been a fan of Mr. Sleepy’s “There’s A Spirit Underground”. Thinking back, she wasn’t being superficial when she said that.
BunToothJi explained the game as she played. Her voice was really nice to listen to. It was the kind of voice that had things hidden inside it.
Meng Fan watched her stream for a while and began to send gifts to BunToothJi. He sent a one smoldering smoke worth 1024. He then sent another one, and another, and another. He sent out 10 in one go.
This would increase the experience for the wealth distribution mission. Currently, he had distributed 80,000 HXB.
He left a message, thanking BunToothJi.
Then… BunToothJi’s support character ended up being GG’d somehow. Either way, Meng Fan didn’t understand the mechanics of this game.
“666! Meng boss is a godly tycoon!”
“Hahaha, when Meng boss came, BunToothJi’s thousand-year well of calmness was disrupted!”
“Thousand-year calm well or just a lonely well can we be clear!?”
“Wait, I thought she was a dried well?”
“Oh no, Ms. Bun’s heart was taken!”
“I’ve been waiting for three years to be robbed by a radish dealer?”
“Is Meng boss here to propose with his carrots?”
“Meng boss is a real man. If you guys get married, you have my blessing!”
“What’s wrong with the Bun army today? Are you trying to disrupt the entire bun soldiers around the world?”
“Why does it feel like we are marrying her off? Did I miss something?”
BunToothJi left the stream to drink some water and return to a screen full of live comments. She smiled. “What are you guys going on about? You’re scaring Meng boss!”
When those words came out, the live comments immediately went sour.
Meng Fan saw the barrage of comments and quickly slipped out. He then sent a Wechat message to thank BunToothJi.
When she saw the message, she replied with a smiley emoji and continued streaming.
Meng Fan left the stream and went to call some take out.
It had been a while since the end of the tournament, and he was really hungry. He still had to draw until 3:00 am as well.
He chatted with Wu Tong as he ate his take out.
Wu Tong had watched his stream tonight and was very curious regarding what happened between Meng Fan and BunToothJi. Since she wanted to know, she asked him directly. There was nothing wrong with asking, so Meng Fan told her about the pervert during his night tour in Wuzhen.
After their conversation, he continued to draw.
Both mangas he was working on were supposed to be updated twice a week. For a normal artist, it was already hard enough to update once a week. But Meng Fan had no problem updating four times a week.
Of course, this was related to the fact that most of the existing manuscripts had already been completed by someone else. If he was creating it on his own, Meng Fan wouldn’t be able to update once a week no matter how fast his hand speed was.
Meng Fan had a routine for manga creation. First, he would draw the important figures in the form of an illustration and then connect the illustrations to make panels.
It was difficult for sure, and Meng Fan needed a certain knack for thinking outside the box.
Of course, this was all for the benefits he would receive from completing the [Illustrator] task.
The next day, Meng Fan woke up and ran his ten kilometers around the track. Since he had no classes in the morning, and there was no basketball tournament today, he headed home and continued to draw.
He strived to have some chapters saved up to maintain his once a week update rate. How did that saying go again? When one had food in their hands, their hearts would not panic.
Another point was because of the manga’s serialization. Mr. Sleepy was very diligent, so Meng Fan decided to save as much as he could before Mr. Sleepy began procrastinating again.
“Ding!”
At 10:00 o’clock, Meng Fan heard the long-awaited alert signaling the completion of the [Illustrator] task.
The [Illustrator] task started very early, and he had reached the goal of 500 for task phase 3 a long time ago as well. After this period of super-intensive production for the manga, he had finally reached the 1000 mark.
“Ding! You’ve completed 1000 illustrations, completing [Illustrator] task phase 4. Reward: Achievement points +1000, drawing skills +4, imagination +1.”
“Ding! You’ve completed the task [Illustrator]. You’ve received the title [Illustrator] (Drawing skills +10, imagination +3).”
Meng Fan had been excitedly waiting for this alert since he finished the illustration on his desk.
The rewards from the [Illustrator] task were powerful. Separated into four task phases, each phase had provided drawing skills upon completion from phases 1 to 4. Starting from task phase 2, he had earned additional attributes as well.
And the attributes that came with the achievement title were even more badass.
Drawing skills +10, imagination +3.
Including the rewards from the task phases, he earned a total of +20 drawing skills and +6 imagination.
+10 drawing skills were already at a mastery level. What could +20 mean?
He could really be considered a God!
Plus, the +3 drawing skills from the [Manga Artist] task and his existing drawing skills, Meng Fan’s drawing skills would have been 30 if converted into numbers.
He had exceeded God!
Meng Fan couldn’t contain his excitement and walked back and forth three times in the study. When he finally calmed down a little and sat down, he picked up his black magic drawing skills; there was even a +1 drawing skill bonus when he drew a straight line. He didn’t know if it was just a psychological effect, but he felt his line was exquisite.
Scratch scratch scratch.
Meng Fan quickly drew a bird. The bird suddenly spread its wings and flew off; okay, it wasn’t that magical. But truthfully speaking, Meng Fan felt like the bird was about to take off; it was so lifelike!
Manga was an exaggerated art. Very few people would describe the characters drawn by a manga artist to be ‘lifelike’, but Meng Fan could only describe his drawings with this word.
He took out another sheet of paper and drew a young girl…..
He then drew a scene from “There’s A Spirit Underground”. The scenery was very dark and haunting. Meng Fan wasn’t scared by his own drawing, but he knew that others would be terrified when they saw his drawing.
Without stopping, he continued to draw several other characters and sceneries.
Meng Fan felt the before and after effects of the attributes. To him, the biggest change was the picture that was displayed in his mind. Basically, he could draw everything from his mind with this god-tier drawing skills!
He could confirm that in terms of drawing skills alone, there were very few people on earth who could compete with him. At least out of all the manga artists and illustrators he knew, there was nobody who could rival him!
And that included the international population as well.
It seemed like he finally had a skill that was at the pinnacle of the world!
