My Extraordinary Achievements

Chapter 16: Famous Streamer

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

No guy ever wanted to hear that he was fast—from a girl, even though Meng Fan knew Wu Tong meant something else.

Meng Fan coughed. “Just takes practice, that’s all.”

Wu Tong was not an animation student, but she still studied art nonetheless. The speed at which Meng Fan drew had exceeded what was achievable through just “practice”. This fatty’s got a lot of secrets, she thought. She stopped trying to pursue it, suddenly remembering. “If you stream yourself drawing with this kind of speed, you will definitely gain a lot of views.”

Because she was a streamer, so upon seeing Meng Fan’s drawing speed, Wu Tong’s immediate afterthought was related to streaming.

Wu Tong had only just mentioned it unintentionally but to Meng Fan…

“Beep! Unlocked achievement task [Famous Streamer].”

“Task requires a live stream viewer count of 100,000,000.”

“Upon completion, you will receive the title [Famous Streamer] accomplishment score (Charm +10)

Meng Fan’s face looked rotten.

Naturally, the more achievement tasks he triggered the better, however, what surprised him was that it could be triggered by someone else.

He’d also believed that accomplishing a task could only be triggered by his own actions. However this time, it was triggered by a suggestion from Wu Tong.

Wait a minute!

Last time, when Qin Jiao gave him the illustration job it did not trigger.

Theoretically, Qin Jiao giving him the illustration job was of the same nature as Wu Tong’s proposal.

Then what’s the difference?

Is it because illustrations are different from live streaming? Or because Wu Tong already has a live broadcast happening and triggered it after? Or was it because… Wu Tong was a special person?

Or was it just a coincidence?

Combined with the unlocking of previous tasks, it had been triggered after completing a step out of the first phase. Such as for [A Good Person]; he had completed it to a degree, similarly with[Travelling Deity], [Illustrator], and [Wealth Distribution Cherub]. However, when someone else casually mentions it, the task appeared.

What was the condition for its trigger? Meng Fan couldn’t understand.

“Live streaming has become more and more convenient, and there are more and more people who watch it too. This is great for us artists! Streaming can earn us some material costs and living expenses. It is much more flexible and convenient compared to a part-time job. If you can allow it to not affect your studies, then that would be ideal; otherwise, your life will become hectic.”

Wu Tong handed the draft paper she was holding to Meng Fan and smiled. “With this hand speed, it’ll be perfect for streaming.”

“Is it? I don’t really understand, can you elaborate more? It’s too late today, how about I’ll buy you dinner, and you share some of your experiences with me?”

Meng Fan took the opportunity to invite her out. Wu Tong thought about it for a minute and smiled.

…

“You fat bast*rd told her you don’t know what a stream is, and she believed you?”

Zhang Zhou Wei had just happened to see Meng Fan with a girl eating dinner as he was also getting food. They had been laughing and jesting, and he was shocked beyond belief. This dumbass actually got a girl to go out with him. He shadily snuck closer and was even more shocked. Meng Fan didn’t know who Wu Tong was, but Zhang Zhou Wei recognized her in an instant. The famous beauty of the traditional art department!

After Meng Fan and Wu Tong separated, Zhang Zhou Wei caught him and immediately interrogated him for everything and was dumbfounded.

“Could she be playing you? That’s not right, no way your dumbass would have this much charm!”

“No wonder you’ve been exercising so much, like a madman! It’s because you’ve got her as your motivation!”

“…”

Meng Fan ignored Zhang Zhou Wei’s shenanigans. All that he could think about was the idea of live broadcasting.

He’d already seen the details for the task [Famous Streamer]. The process was divided into five steps, in turn requiring the number of people watching to reach 10,000, 100,000, 1 million, 10 million, 100 million. Rewarded achievement points are 1, 10, 100,1000,10000, in addition to +1 charm upon completion of each step.

After totaling the numbers, if he completed the task, he would gain 15 points in charm.

Regarding the attribute of charm, Meng Fan was ecstatic. This was mostly related to his original intentions upon respawning, that is, to fall in love and be in a relationship.

Running to lose weight was to realize this.

To Meng Fan, who to this day has never been in a relationship, it had become his obsession.

Since the task had already begun, naturally he’d have to complete it. As for whether he could actually garner 100 million views, that was a problem for later.

Even 10,000 views can add +1 charm.

What’s more, the streaming could be completed simultaneously while also finishing [Illustrator].

Also, at the bottom of the five processes, there was another extra line of extra equipment—Live streaming aids.

According to the instructions, this was an item that combined a camera, microphone, sound card, headphones, computer CPU/mobile device, lighting, etc; all into one bundle of black magic technology.

The most ridiculous aspect of it was that this thing could track Meng Fan anytime and anywhere, from any angle that he needed to record his drawing. To put it simply, this function was equivalent to hiring a professional photographer.

It was also invisible wherever he went!

Black technology was really dark, that is, this stuff was a bit expensive. It required 1000 achievement points to redeem.

Meng Fan still wanted to stream, so, for the time being, he settled for using his phone.

As for the live stream, Meng Fan was familiar. Normally he spent a lot of time watching streams, the most visited site being the 8th station’s otaku camp.

The 8th station stream focused on gaming and various otaku related talents. Although it was impossible for Meng Fan to pass by as ‘cute’, he could still get by, if he did not show his face.

Once he selected the live stream platform, Meng Fan without hesitation chose 8th station. One, because he was familiar. Two, because the audience favored art and other talents. Three, because in recent years the 8th station’s traffic has been steady. Fourth and most importantly, because the site was suitable for mobile broadcasts.

Logging in, the account he’d been using from long before was already ‘real’ user authenticated. He proceeded to click “I want to stream,” opened up the application and filled it out according to the prompts.

Awaiting review.

Usually, it took under 48 hours to complete a review.

Maybe it was because he had used the same account for so long, because after Meng Fan went back to the dorm and changed, went for a run, and took a showe he received the review confirmation.

“I’m going to the studio.”

Frantically, he left the dormitory.

There weren’t many people in the studio in the evening, and his usual seat was open. Meng Fan walked over and sat down, setting up his equipment, spending a lot of time adjusting the phone screen and recording angle. Once he was satisfied, he began streaming.

Meng Fan changed his original username to “Chubby Meng’s Party”, selected the drawing category, and set the title for his stream today to “[Illustration] Day 1 of streaming.”

Begin streaming.

He looked at the video feedback. It’ was alright.

He clicked on the “share” button in the live stream browser and sent it to over a dozen chat rooms. These groups were all the “connections” Meng Fan had accumulated on 8th station and was even a moderator for some of them.

“My first-day streaming, anyone wants to come and support me?”

After sending this, he returned to the stream’s homepage and saw numerous familiar account names.

“Chubby Meng actually started streaming! Sprinkle flowers!”

“Illustrations? Fatty Meng, you’re really an art student?”

“Hahahahaha petition for Fatty Meng to reveal his face!”

—BeeBuzzBuzz gifted 100 popsicles, one combo.

—AiyoNotFat gifted 50 aid towels, one combo.

—AnnualSubscriptionGrandma submitted spicy dough sticks *100.

—ComeBeHappy submitted spicy dough sticks *200.

…

Meng Fan hadn’t even begun drawing as fellow netizens flowed in, spamming his screen with various gifts.

In real life, Meng Fan didn’t have much communicative abilities, but on the internet, he had many friends.
